Along the way, Hou Yue deliberately distanced himself from Zhang Xiaotong, and there seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder between the two of them.
Zhang Long didn't care so much and chatted with Bai Wenwen about the recent events.
Because I have been living in darkness for the past two months, I have long been accustomed to catching weak light in the dark to distinguish the surrounding situation.
Despite this, everyone still did not dare to move too fast, forming a rhombus and moving forward slowly and cautiously.
Looking back on what happened during this period, in Bai Wenwen's eyes, Zhang Long was completely different from before. But if he thought about it carefully, Zhang Long had actually shown his amazing talents when he was in the city, but at that time he
I didn't think much about it at all, I just didn't notice it.
Suddenly, I felt like a clown in front of Zhang Long, blind to sight, but at the same time, I was secretly glad that I was lucky enough to find someone like him.
Before I knew it, I felt a lot more relaxed.
"Let's hold a make-up wedding when we get back, and then we can have a baby or something."
When Bai Wenwen said this, she looked very calm on the surface, but in fact her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
All told, the two of them can count on their fingers the number of times they have actually been alone together during such a long period of marriage.
Zhang Long responded.
Although he was happy, he couldn't laugh at this moment.
This time I went out to find Su Yuanyuan. In order to deal with emergencies, I brought many various tools and weapons with me. I hope they won't be used, and I hope they will be useful when the time comes.
After all, all the large creatures on this island are a bit strange in size, and the things in the misty forest are probably even more unusual.
I hope Su Yuanyuan can be smart and find a relatively safe place to hide and wait for rescue.
Seeing that Zhang Long didn't react much, Bai Wenwen felt inexplicably disappointed, lowered her head and hurried on silently, and stopped talking.
At this time, Zhang Long reacted and smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, we have to have a big party when we get back. All our friends will be invited by then. If I have another big fat boy next year, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life."
After finishing speaking, he burst into hearty laughter.
"By the way, isn't it now possible to have a second child? Then we will have a daughter and then a son."
Bai Wenwen pouted.
"One is enough."
Much worse!
These days, I have been bruised all over because of her. If I don't give him ten or eight children when I get back, I will be sorry for him!
Of course, Zhang Long just thought about this in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
While chatting, we arrived at the edge of the misty forest.
Just standing outside feels eerie, the entire forest is shrouded in a light mist, and the trees are looming.
"Hey~ I don't know what Su Yuanyuan is thinking, but she dares to go to a place like this."
Hou Yue couldn't help but trembled: "In my hometown, you won't be able to come back from this kind of ghost place, and sometimes you can meet Xian'er."
"Okay, okay, stop talking."
The moon poked its head out from behind the clouds, illuminating the entire land, but it did not shine through the layer of fog in the misty forest, making it look even weirder.
Zhang Long took a look and his expression became serious.
"For everyone's safety, let's maintain this formation and walk closer. Hou Yue takes the lead, and I follow behind."
Everyone nodded and walked in.
The mist hit our faces, and soon everyone's clothes were a little wet, and a thin layer of water droplets hung on their hair and eyebrows.
Everything that can be seen is white, it can be said that you can't see even your fingers.
"There seems to be something there."
Zhang Xiaotong pointed not far away.
"It looks like an axe."
When everyone heard this, they quickly walked over to take a look.
Indeed, it was a simple ax next to a tree that was about to be chopped down.
Speaking of which, this tree looks very strange. It is white and straight and looks very eye-catching in a forest. If the weather is good, you can see it at a glance.
"It seems that Zhang Xiaotong disappeared in this area."
Zhang Xiaotong looked around and saw nothing strange, so he was speechless.
Hou Yue glanced at her and snorted coldly.
"It seems that you, a top student and a college tyrant, are not much different from others. Come on, I will reluctantly teach you today."
As he spoke, he used the branch that he used as a walking stick and pointed near the axe.
"She stood in this position and kept cutting down trees."
As he said that, he pointed to a point ahead.
"Then she probably saw something and kept walking forward."
Everyone followed the wooden sticks handled by Hou Yue and looked into the depths of the misty forest.
Zhang Long lit the torch, and each of the four people held one.
Bai Wenwen couldn't help but ask: "I think no matter what, she should also know the horror of this forest. Why is she dancing and walking deep into the forest? Is there something chasing her?"
Hou Yue shook his head.
"I'm pretty sure Su Yuanyuan walked over. You see, here and here are the traces of her steps. The distance in between is not far, and there is no sign of acceleration."
The leaves on the ground look messy from a distance, with no traces at all. But if you look a little closer, you will find that in some places there are leaves that are slightly darker than the surrounding leaves. That's because when you step on them,
A part of a leaf lifted up by friction.
As for why the leaves on the lower layer are darker than those on the upper layer, it is because the side closer to the ground is moist and the leaves rot faster.
"Then according to what you said, something must have attracted Su Yuanyuan's attention. The place where she can see it should not be far away. Let's go."
Everyone nodded and walked forward along the footprints left by Su Yuanyuan.
As we walked, the traces on the ground became more and more messy, and even Bai Wenwen, who didn't know much about this aspect, could see it.
Zhang Long held the torch and looked around, his face becoming more and more solemn.
"It seems that there are wild beasts here, and there are more than one."
"There must have been a fight here."
Hou Yue pointed to a place not far ahead, where all the leaves had been turned up, exposing the ground, and there were still a few wisps of hair.
As I got closer, I found a palm-sized footprint on the ground.
"What animal is this?"
Facing Bai Wenwen's question, Zhang Long looked solemn.
"This footprint looks a bit like a wolf, but the wolf's footprints are not so big, and the bear's footprints are not so small. Moreover, in my impression, there does not seem to be such a particularly long footprint. It feels like a long footprint on the sole of a child's foot.
Like animal-like flesh pads.”
Zhang Long thought for a moment and then continued: "Although I don't know what this animal is, I'm sure Su Yuanyuan didn't fall into the hands of these guys."
