The group continued to move towards the hinterland of Fairy Peak under the leadership of Liu Xing.
At this moment, the snow is melting on the treetops in the mountains.
When everyone came to the river that blocked the way that night, the river was obviously much wider than before.
The reason is also very simple. The melting of snow has brought sufficient water to the river.
"I'll go there first." Before Gu Chen and others could hesitate, Liu Xing put on his high-top overshoes and began to use the hiking pole in his hand to tentatively test the depth in the river.
Seeing that the river was not too deep, he crossed the river cautiously.
When he reached the other side, Liu Xing took off his galoshes and threw them to Gu Chen on the other side.
The distance of several meters across the river made it easy for everyone to throw objects through the air.
After Gu Chen put on his overshoes, he connected his hiking boots with shoelaces and hung them around his neck.
Then he learned Liu Xing's method just now and continued to move forward slowly and tentatively.
When Gu Chen came to the other side, he threw the high-top galoshes to Lu Weiwei again.
Several people also gradually crossed the river while changing shoes.
At this time, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but said: "Why don't we just hang these high-top galoshes on the branches here? When we come back later, we can take them off to cross the river. Carrying them will be a burden."
"No." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Liu Xing denied it and continued to explain:
"It's convenient to hang these high-top galoshes here, but have you ever thought about it? Once someone else takes them away, what will happen if we cross the river again?"
"The only way is to cross the river with wet legs." Yuan Shasha said at the side.
Liu Xing nodded silently: "Yes, in such a wild area, it is best to keep your belongings safe."
"We only have one pair of galoshes. These are the supplies we need to cross the river. Therefore, we must take the high-top galoshes with us and not lose them."
After he finished speaking, Liu Xing professionally took out a non-woven bag and put the overshoes in it.
Afterwards, Liu Xing hung his high-top galoshes on the back of his travel bag, then put his backpack back on and continued moving forward.
Officer Wang walked past Lu Weiwei and said sarcastically: "Have you seen Lu Weiwei? What is professionalism? This is called professionalism, study hard."
"Dese!" Lu Weiwei rolled her eyes at Officer Wang, and then said softly to Gu Chen who had already set off: "Junior Brother Gu, wait for me."
The group of people continued to follow Liu Xing's footsteps and kept traveling back and forth in the hinterland of Fairy Peak.
The trees here grow wildly, and their branches are scattered all over the place. Therefore, when walking, everyone needs to avoid the branches from time to time, which brings a lot of trouble to everyone moving forward.
Fortunately, Liu Xing, who was leading the way, was equipped with a sharp blade, which he could chop at the small branches in front of him.
This technique suddenly reminded Gu Chen of Huba who bought a multifunctional saber at a high price in a military supplies store, so Gu Chen casually mentioned:
"Boss Liu, do you outdoor adventurers usually equip themselves with a machete like this?"
"Huh?" Liu Xing was stunned for a few seconds when Gu Chen suddenly asked him, and then he realized what he was doing and quickly smiled and said:
"Oh, Officer Gu, when you enter a dense forest, especially one that requires entering the hinterland of Fairy Peak, it will be difficult for you to move forward without a multifunctional knife like this."
Pointing to a few branches blocking the road in front of him, Liu Xing waved the blade in his hand and cut down the branches in twos and twos, and then said:
"If you don't cut down a branch like this, it will waste a lot of time on your way forward."
"You either have to dodge, but there are some plants that you can't dodge, so you need to cut through the mess with a quick knife, so a handy multifunctional knife is essential."
"So that's it?" Hearing what Liu Xing said, Gu Chen also thought of Huba.
Thinking that Huba had purchased a knife of the same type a few days before he camped at the top of Fairy Peak.
Gu Chen suddenly felt that Huba also had plans to enter the dense forest?
Of course, this is also
After Gu Chen saw Liu Xing's actions, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a question by chance.
"Found it." Just as everyone was moving forward, Liu Xing found another mark.
Liu Xing pointed to the mark on the tree with the blade of his knife and said, "Go left. There is a vertical left turn sign here. I remember that I carved it myself."
While speaking, Liu Xing picked up the blade again and scratched another mark on the tree trunk.
"It's done." After completing the operation, Liu Xing also explained to everyone:
"Some marks may not be found and become less obvious over time. At this time, we need to copy them again."
"Yeah." Gu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.
Under the leadership of Liu Xing, everyone had climbed over two mountains and passed through countless marked locations. At this time, they came to a valley.
Liu Xing was clearing the way ahead, looking for signs and cutting branches. He was a little tired at the moment, so he turned around and looked at Gu Chen and said:
"Officer Gu, how about we take a rest here?"
Gu Chen looked around and felt that this was the lowest point in the valley.
Looking up, we are surrounded by tall mountains. The light here is dim, giving people an extremely quiet feeling.
Considering Liu Xing's hard work, Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, just rest for a few minutes."
"Later, I will lead the way and help you cut branches."
"Then thank you, Officer Gu." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
He kept twisting his arms and seemed exhausted.
Gu Chen picked up the blade that Liu Xing had stuck on the ground, put the dirt on both sides of the blade on his sleeve, wiped it, and then held it in front of his eyes.
The cold light of the blade shone on Gu Chen's face. Gu Chen seemed to feel that there might be other versions of the attack that happened on the top of the mountain?
On the top of Fairy Peak, according to Zhao Lei's words, Huba noticed strange movement and came behind the tree to check the situation.
In the end, he was attacked by an unknown person and his neck was bitten. Obviously, Gu Chen felt that this method of attack was too weird.
Of course, some of Zhao Lei's emotions are also included in this.
But of course Gu Chen knew that if Huba was an experienced outdoor explorer, then when he noticed strange noises around the tent at night, the first thing Huba would do was to protect himself from being attacked by wild beasts.
This can be known from the chat between Huba and Zhao Lei. Huba once fought with bears and fought against wolves.
This kind of experience seems to be commonplace for Huba.
And Huba also knew very well that there might be some aggressive beasts in the forest of Fairy Peak.
So, when Huba heard the noise, would he take out the multi-functional saber for self-defense?
So how did Huba get his neck bitten by the attacker when he had a saber in his hand? This is obviously not in line with normal operations.
"What exactly went wrong?" Thinking of this, Gu Chen also frowned.
Lu Weiwei, who drank some water, also found that Gu Chen had been standing there, observing the situation in front of her.
So Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen and reminded: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think that Chen Li is too courageous?"
"Senior Sister Lu, do you feel this way?" Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Weiwei.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Isn't this obvious?"
"In this dark environment, a woman just walked across the Fairy Peak. Not to mention anything else, just the few of us walking together, I felt that everything around me was full of weirdness."
"Unpredictably, the wild beasts in the mountains will burst out of the woods and fight with us."
Looking at the resting people, Lu Weiwei said again: "Look at us, there are so many of us, and we are still worried about this kind of emergency."
"But Chen Li is alone, isn't she worried that she is here?
Are there any wild beasts attacking you in this forest?"
"You are right." Gu Chen nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Weiwei's words.
This was also Gu Chen's previous worry.
After all, it is very difficult to survive alone in the jungle, even if you don't know it yourself.
Even if Chen Li is given sophisticated outdoor survival equipment, Chen Li is still a woman. Can she withstand the attacks of wild beasts?
Sometimes Gu Chen is also very conflicted and doesn't know what Chen Li's purpose is?
But vaguely, I felt that the situation did not seem to be simple.
At least what is Chen Li’s motive for doing this?
Looking at the dim forest in front of me and the tall peaks around me, I felt like I was looking up at the mountains from the valley, and the pressure of the mountains came over my face.
Moreover, in this forest, there are also some strange noises coming from time to time, which makes everyone feel creepy just listening to the sounds.
"Okay, everyone, let's go quickly, we have to buy time." Gu Chen saw that everyone had taken a short rest, so he urged again.

Liu Xing sighed helplessly, picked up the hiking pole next to him again, and stood up.
When he came to Gu Chen's side, Liu Xing also patted Gu Chen's shoulder and reminded him, "Officer Gu, we usually cross Fairy Peak and need to maintain enough physical strength and enough rest time."
"By rushing so hard, I'm afraid everyone will be exhausted later."
"What we have is physical strength." As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Gu Chen immediately slapped Liu Xing back with one sentence.
Liu Xing was a little speechless. After all, although he was a senior outdoor adventure coach, he focused on scientific adventure.
Liu Xing has always valued maintaining adequate food and physical strength.
But now, the tasks are different, and these policemen seem to be racing against time.
And he was originally here to help. After thinking about it, he stopped complaining and nodded directly, pointing at the multifunctional blade in Gu Chen's hand and said:
"Then let Officer Gu take this machete and use it to open roads."
"Okay, everyone, follow me." Gu Chen did not refuse, he waved the blade in his hand twice and walked at the front.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she quickly followed behind Gu Chen.
Then came Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, and finally Liu Xing.
Because Gu Chen had already memorized the location of the mark marked by Liu Xing on the map.
So Gu Chen was able to quickly find some of the arrow marks while chopping branches to open a path.
When he saw some marks carved on tree trunks that were not very clear, Gu Chen would follow Liu Xing's example and copy and carve the marks again.
In this way, Gu Chen led the team and took everyone over a high mountain again.
At this moment, as Gu Chen was leading everyone down the mountain, the sky was gradually getting darker.
Although the sun has not set yet, the various vegetation and mountains in the mountains block the path, making the walking path dim, and it has already entered the dark hour in advance.
Gu Chen turned on the strong flashlight and hung it on the shoulder buckle of his hiking clothes.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and followed the principle of energy conservation.
Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Liu Xing chose to turn on the flashlights, while Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha used them as backup power sources.
For this reason, everyone prepared some spare flashlights, which are enough for lighting at night.
But just as Gu Chen was about to cut off a blocking branch in front of him with his knife, he suddenly discovered that the branch seemed to have been clearly broken.
Gu Chen frowned, quickly took a closer look, and immediately discovered something fishy.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly walked to Gu Chen's side.
Gu Chen pointed to the broken branch in front of him and explained: "The cut on the branch is very smooth, and it was obviously cut by a knife blade.
"
"And judging from the extent of the incision, it's still very new." Lu Weiwei followed closely.
The two looked at each other and immediately became alert.
Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Liu Xing, who came later, also came to Gu Chen.
"Someone came here before us and cut off the branches blocking the road." Gu Chen reminded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Officer Wang looked puzzled: "It's strange, why are cut branches starting to appear from here? We also found many branches blocking the road along the way.
.”
"But at that time, there were no signs of the branches being cut by the blade. What's going on?"
"Is there any need to say it?" As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha on the side explained:
"Obviously, the reason why the branches blocking the road were not cut down may be because the attacker was afraid that the people searching the mountain would find traces, so he deliberately walked around to try not to leave any traces of broken branches.
"
"This way, we can avoid tracking and not expose ourselves."
Looking at the broken branch in front of her, Yuan Shasha added: "But it's different now. Being able to walk all the way here means that very few people can reach it."
"In this place, the attacker must also feel that no one will search the hinterland of the forest here."
"So, in order to save energy, the attacker began to cut the branches in front of him to clear a way for himself."
"It makes sense." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Gu Chen nodded in agreement:
"What Xiao Yuan said makes sense. Maybe that's what the other party meant. He was too cautious before because he was afraid that he would be tracked."
"After all, any broken vegetation in the woods may cause you tracking trouble."
"But if the opponent deliberately walks cautiously in the woods when retreating in the early stage, then the opponent can avoid this situation from happening."
Looking around, Gu Chen then said: "But now, the other party must not have thought that we would track all the way here."
"Obviously, we need to move forward and back. The opponent should be nearby, and he shouldn't be able to escape."
