After all, no matter how smart and agile Zhang Xiaotong is, she is still a girl, and Zhang Xiaotong does not seem to have much food supplement.
Zhang Long was also very nervous, fearing that Zhang Xiaotong would lose strength and be overtaken by the stone statue.
After all, even Zhang Long was almost exhausted after being chased by those two stone statues.
So Zhang Long didn't waste any time and immediately gave chase.
Of course, he didn't forget to use a tactical flashlight to check for traces on the ground from time to time.
This way we can determine which direction Zhang Xiaotong went.
Before, Zhang Long also saw Zhang Xiaotong only wearing a piece of cloth similar to a sheet.
She was still barefoot.
So when Zhang Long saw traces like blood stains on the ground, it must have been left by Zhang Xiaotong's feet being worn out on the rough stones because he was barefoot.
So Zhang Long was heartbroken while chasing after the blood trail.
The blood stains became more and more conspicuous as the distance that Zhang Long chased increased.
This also shows that because Zhang Xiaotong ran too fast, the wound was also enlarged.
What makes Zhang Long even more heartbroken is that Zhang Xiaotong won't be able to hold on for long if this continues.
So Zhang Long also accelerated his pace.
Not long after Zhang Long chased after him, he came to a place where the wall was damaged.
Judging from the big round hole in the wall.
It is very likely that it is the trace of the big earthworm.
Of course, Zhang Long doesn't know whether there is a second big earthworm like this here. It may be the masterpiece of other big earthworms.
At this time, the blood stains on the ground had disappeared and disappeared in front of the big hole.
So Zhang Long went into the cave and took a look.
As a result, something was discovered.
Although it can be seen from the entrance of the cave that there are large earthworm droppings there, but because those substances have become softer after being digested by them, it is easy to leave marks on them.
Zhang Xiaotong's weight is relatively light, but the weight of the stone statue is very heavy. Especially the stone statue chasing Zhang Xiaotong is even taller than the stone statue chasing Zhang Long before.
So its weight is also heavier.
On the soft earthworm droppings, the imprint left by the stone statue is quite obvious.
Zhang Long had already checked it without any effort.
Obviously, it was impossible for the stone statue to just run into the cave out of boredom. It was obviously the reason why Zhang Xiaotong ran into the cave and the stone statue followed Zhang Xiaotong's escape path.
So Zhang Long immediately jumped into the big hole and followed the huge footprints.
It was not that easy to walk where the big earthworm passed by. Someone opened the way in front of him, and it became much smoother for Zhang Long.
Zhang Long directly followed the huge footprints and walked forward. Because the places where the footprints were found had been stepped on by stone statues, Zhang Long was not afraid of stepping in and sinking.
Zhang Long could tell from the huge footprints that the stone statue seemed to be slowly slowing down, which made Zhang Long a little strange.
Is the power of stone statues also limited?
This question was quickly solved by Zhang Long, because after Zhang Long walked about two or three kilometers, he saw a dark figure in front of him.
It's obviously the stone statue.
Although he didn't know if it was useful, Zhang Long still pulled out the long black sword and held it in his hand.
The long black sword had a record of cutting off the arm of the stone statue holding his head.
So maybe it also has the power to fight, and the pistol and rifle Zhang Long carries, obviously do not have this function.
It has been used once, hitting the stone statue as if it were tickling him.
It almost didn't play a decent role.
Zhang Long held the long sword and slowly leaned towards the dark figure.
When he walked to the stone statue and saw his appearance clearly, the stone statue was still motionless.
"Has it entered hibernation again?"
Zhang Long also couldn't figure out the principle of why this kind of stone statue moved or didn't move.
He observed the spot for a while and found that the stone statue was still motionless.
Then he plucked up the courage and walked over.
Sure enough, the stone statue has become the statue itself.
At this time, Zhang Long also breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, Zhang Xiaotong should have escaped.
For some unknown reason, the stone statue lost its power and turned into a motionless statue.
So Zhang Long squeezed past the stone statue with some effort.
The huge body of the stone statue also takes up more than half of the originally narrow road.
Fortunately, Zhang Long has lost a lot of weight due to hunger.
So I can barely squeeze through.
Without the stone statue to guide the way, the road Zhang Long followed was not that easy to walk. Under the light of his tactical flashlight, he wanted to check if there were any footprints of Zhang Xiaotong.
However, it may be due to Zhang Xiaotong's relatively light weight that he did not leave very clear traces on the ground.
Fortunately, for this big earthworm, the route it took was not complicated.
So Zhang Long just needs to continue walking along his route.
Zhang Long walked forward along the path of the big earthworm, and soon a large smooth hole appeared in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the big earthworm circled back and returned to the stone chamber maze.
Zhang Long jumped back into the corridor from the big hole.
At this time, he could only carefully check the blood stains on the ground.
But it’s a pity that Zhang Long.
He checked the ground nearby very carefully, but he found nothing.
Zhang Long thought for a while and basically understood what happened.
It was precisely because the stone statue kept chasing Zhang Xiaotong from behind that she had no way to stop, so Zhang Xiaotong had to run forward desperately even though the soles of her feet were worn out.
But then the stone statue has returned to the state of stone. In this way, Zhang Xiaotong does not need to be so urgent. He can completely tear off a piece of the sheet-like thing he wrapped to wrap up the wound.
.
In this way, Zhang Xiaotong will naturally not shed any blood on the ground.
Even with a relatively rough bandage, there may still be bleeding.
But the sole of the foot is only a place with abundant capillaries, and there are no large blood vessels. The bleeding will not be too much, so I wrap it with a few more layers.
Otherwise, if blood oozes out, there will be traces only after walking far away.
Now Zhang Long can't find any clues, which is normal.
But the question before Zhang Long now is whether she should continue to move forward or look back.
