Mai Ziwen and Hannah found strong-smelling plants, sprayed the juice out, and disturbed the smell here, and finally moved towards the cliff.
In order to avoid passing by Fan Li and others, they lit torches after walking a certain distance.
Along the way, they encountered no special situation.
However, when they successfully reached the edge of the cliff, they found that there was no way to go, and Fan Li and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Then, they searched under the slope and found the traces left by Chloe.
Mai Ziwen looked carefully and said, "This must have been done by Chloe. She dug out a lot of gems, but left a lot behind. The traces are very messy, which proves that she left in a panic."
Hannah approached with a torch, "There are only her footprints here. There are no animal paw prints, and there are no footprints of Fan Li and Tesla. There should be no danger."
Mai Ziwen was puzzled, "But according to Chloe's love of money, it is impossible for her to leave so many treasures behind. If they are not in danger, how can they explain their disappearance?"
Hannah thought for a while, "Although it is far away from the campsite, the roars of the monsters will definitely reach here, and they may hear the sound and leave."
This possibility is very high. After all, this slope is close to the edge of the cliff, which may make the sound echo louder and make the direction unclear.
Mai Ziwen's expression changed, "Oops, they may have taken a detour back to the campsite."
Hannah nodded with deep understanding, "Let's search again to see if we can find any traces. If it doesn't work, we'll circle back to the campsite."
Mai Ziwen nodded.
That’s all we can do for now…
But on Fan Li's side.
They walked forward along the road in the swamp. After walking for a long time, they reached the end and came to a mountain forest.
In the dense forests of the mountains, a group of indigenous people were watching them closely.
Tesla, who had been soaking in the mud swamp for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I want to find a river to take a bath."
Chloe was also miserable, "How long have we been walking?"
While Tesla was walking, he looked at the sky and said, "After leaving the mud swamp, the time here is estimated to be at least a few hours longer."
Chloe strode around looking around, "It looks like we don't have much time."
Fan Li cut off the gun and said, "What do you mean? Do you have a time appointment with those people? Or are you afraid that Mai Ziwen and Hannah will worry?"
"And if those people are really anxious to find the ruby, why don't they send us closer?"
Chloe couldn't deny it, "It's a simple reason, because in this way we can prove our abilities."
Fan Li looked at the terrain around him, "What ability?"
Chloe casually said, "The ability to survive in nature."
Fan Li originally didn't think so.
But when his eyes inadvertently passed through the jungle, he saw that the branches and leaves of the jungle were separated, revealing the face of an indigenous man and the blow dart in the other person's mouth.
He was startled and suddenly dived towards Chloe, throwing her to the ground.
At the same time, the indigenous people's blow dart also shot out, grazing Chloe's scalp with dangerous risks, and with a swish, it was inserted into the tree trunk next to it.
When something unexpected happened to Chloe, she immediately turned over and rode Fan Li underneath her.
She raised her fist to hit someone, "Damn it, what do you want to do?"
Fan Li was pinned under her and couldn't get away for a moment, but he still raised his head and aimed a shot at the natives who were rushing towards him.
"Bang." The gunshot rang out.
The native at the front responded, "Uh."
At this time Tesla also reacted, "Cannibals."
Chloe immediately realized that Fan Lina was trying to save her, and she had made a big mistake.
She quickly got up.
Fan Li regained his freedom and immediately shot the cannibals, "Run, run quickly, why are you standing still?"
Chloe reacted and ran away.
Tesla followed soon after.
Fan Li held the gun and cut off the back.
Only then did he realize that it was like poking a hornet's nest, with dense cannibals popping out from behind.
These cannibals were colorful, smeared with a special resin, holding simple pointed spears and stone tools, and chased after them with strange screams.
As Tesla said, these guys are not natives, they are clearly cannibals with certain intelligence.
In order to avoid these guys' darts, Chloe and the others could only run in curves in the dense forest.
Whenever these cannibals chased them too close, Fan Li would turn around and shoot to stop the cannibals.
While fleeing, Chloe, who was panicking and not looking at the way, suddenly tripped over a vine. Fan immediately shot down the cannibal at the front, then picked her up and continued running.
They ran to a high slope and lost track of the cannibals.
Tesla gasped, "They gave up?"
Fan Li stared at Chloe, "The situation is very wrong. All these crises seem to have a purpose."
Tesla frowned and looked at Chloe, "Like Chloe said, this is a test? Then how will they test us next?"
Chloe panted, looking innocent, "Don't look at me."
Fan Li took a deep breath, "Then who should I look at?"
He was very tired of this meaningless and life-threatening thing.
But Chloe said confidently, "You don't have to come with me."
Tesla waved his hand to signal the two of them to stop arguing, "Obviously, if it is a test, then this level of difficulty is hellish. We should find ways to change this situation."
Fan Li said seriously, "Chloe, you know, I'm not a male chauvinist, nor am I a dog licker, but...
"We are completely out of control over this matter. At this distance, that kind of poison dart can kill us all in an instant.
"Just like the purpose we seek, the meaning of life is not what we seek."
Chloe raised her chin, "It's not your task to protect me, you don't have to do it."
Fan Lizhen was furious, "Protect you? Just save it, this world is the one that is protected from you!"
Chloe immediately jumped up like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on, "Fan Li, what do you mean by this?"
Tesla couldn't stand it and said, "Hey, let me tell you, this is not the time for you to argue."
However, this time Fan Li did not tolerate it, "I mean, you will only bring unbearable pain in the world."
Chloe was angry, "Huh."
Tesla's eyes wandered, feeling embarrassed.
But it didn't matter that he was wandering away. He actually saw an astonishing number of cannibals hiding in the woods under the high slope, slowly approaching with eager eyes.
Tesla swallowed his saliva, "I think this should be their territory, and they want us to...leave immediately!"
He pronounced the last word very strongly.
Fan Li and Chloe understood immediately.
When the three of them looked at each other, they immediately ran away.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when the three of them rushed into a greener forest, the chasing cannibals seemed to suddenly stop.
While running, Fan Li was still worried, "Why do you believe what the great witch Zhu said?"
Chloe's mood calmed down a lot, "Because I can't find a reason to explain all this. Maybe, I just hope that she is true."
After saying this, she felt much more relaxed and ran ahead with cheerful steps.
Fan Li and Tesla looked at each other, "She already has a lot of faith in someone who doesn't trust anyone."
