Seeing Lin Zichen's plain expression, Elise felt a chill in her heart. Although she knew that the former would not harm her, Lin Zichen's expression when observing the mummy was really scary.
In Elise's eyes, a mummy was the scariest thing she had ever encountered, but in Lin Zichen's eyes, it was like grass on the roadside. That kind of indifference made her, who was used to Lin Zichen's normal state, feel strange.
.
Elise is born with the ability to sensitively capture emotions. It is precisely because of this inexplicable talent that she feels that Lin Zichen will not hurt her. Just like when Elise met Athena, the first time they met
At one glance, Elise felt that Athena was a trustworthy person. And Lin Zichen gave her the same feeling. Otherwise, how could she be so close to someone she had known for less than two days?
But after seeing another side of Lin Zichen today, Elise felt more and more that this man was not simple, at least not what she saw on the surface was all about Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen didn't notice anything wrong with Elise. At this time, his attention was focused on the mummy on the tree. He carefully inspected the mummy in front of him. Although due to time, the mummy could no longer distinguish the appearance of a person, but through
From the subtle changes in the muscles on his face, Lin Zichen realized that this man must have encountered something terrible before he died.
His face was full of fear. Although it was blurry, it still couldn't escape Lin Zichen's eyes. The clothes of the mummy were torn in tatters, and there were traces of being scratched by sharp claws. Judging from the marks on it
, the person who killed this man was a large beast, because the scratches on his body were very deep, which cannot be caused by ordinary animals.
"Is it really a tiger?" Lin Zichen frowned slightly. The range of beasts that can cause such scars is very small. Cheetahs, tigers, bears, these animals can be used, and wolves are not excluded, but the wild wolves want to cause such wounds.
The damage is a bit forced.
After inspecting the mummy, Lin Zichen stood up and looked at the flowers and plants around him. He carefully checked the surroundings with his spiritual mind. There were no signs of a fight or the presence of wild beasts.
Although the size of this forest is not large, it is not small. It only takes a few days to cover up the traces of wild beasts, not to mention that this person has been dead for such a long time.
"Brother Tony." Elise saw that Lin Zichen had finished the inspection, and there was a bit of fear in her voice: "Brother Tony, do we want to go back?"
Elise finally realized the seriousness of the problem. It seemed that Grandma Aina was right. There were really terrifying beasts here!
"Haha, don't worry, I will protect you." Lin Zichen smiled at Elise, and then while Elise was not paying attention, he secretly used his true energy to protect Elise's body to ensure her safety.
"Brother Tony, do you think that beast will suddenly appear?" Elise suppressed the nausea in her heart, tried not to look at the mummy on the tree, and ran to Lin Zichen. Only beside him, Elise
Only then will Liz feel safe.
Seeing Elise like a little chicken seeking protection, Lin Zichen couldn't help but smile in his heart. Fortunately, this woman still looked confident when she came, but she didn't expect that a mummy would make her flinch.
Of course, it’s not Elise’s fault. Having been pampered and raised since childhood, it’s already good that Elise could muster up the courage not to run around, at least she didn’t cause Lin Zichen any trouble.
"This is the edge of the forest. Wild beasts shouldn't roam here." Lin Zichen thought for a while and comforted him: "And there are many suspicious places here."
"Something suspicious?" Elise was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked: "What's suspicious?"
Seeing Elise focusing on him, Lin Zichen smiled slightly. In order to ease the fear in Elise's heart, he did it deliberately, and Elise did not live up to her expectations and was smart not to
Think about that body again.
"Why do you think wild beasts hunt?" Lin Zichen glanced at the surrounding environment and asked while planning the way forward.
"Of course it's to fill her stomach." Elise replied subconsciously: "If it weren't for hunger, the beast wouldn't hunt."
"You are right, wild animals hunt to fill their stomachs, but this person was not eaten." Lin Zichen smiled slightly, looked at Elise's puzzled eyes and said: "This person's body has been dried, and it has been
He has been dead for a while. From the marks on his body, we know that he was attacked by a wild beast and died, but why didn't the wild beast eat him?"
Lin Zichen is right. Generally speaking, wild beasts will not attack humans, whether they are tigers or other wild beasts. They will only attack humans when they are desperate.
Of course, this will exclude some wild beasts with violent personalities that like to attack humans. If the wild beasts in the forest liked to attack humans, they would not huddle in this forest and would have gone out to attack humans long ago.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Zichen judged that the beasts here did not like to attack humans, and they did not kill people because of lack of food.
"Is it because this person has entered the territory of the beast?" Elise immediately thought of what she saw on TV. When something invades the territory, the beast will be furious and kill the thing that intrudes into the territory, no matter what.
Is it human or other animals.
"It's not impossible." Lin Zichen nodded, and then said: "But not everyone can invade the beast's territory, not to mention that among these people there should be people with extremely strong survival skills in the wild, and they will try to avoid them.
These beasts have their own territory to protect themselves.”
As he said that, Lin Zichen's eyes became dangerous and he said softly: "If this is really the case, it means that these beasts came to them on their own initiative."
"Brother Tony, can't wild beasts be so smart?" Elise was startled, and then asked cautiously.
"Haha, don't underestimate these beasts. Sometimes their intelligence is no worse than that of humans." Lin Zichen smiled, then he glanced at Elise and asked, "Do you want to follow me in now?"
"Of course!" Elise nodded without hesitation, looked at Lin Zichen and said seriously: "I know Brother Tony will protect me, right?"
Seeing Elise's trusting eyes, Lin Zichen felt helpless for a while. He hoped that the things inside would not frighten this kind girl. His intuition told him that this forest was not as simple as it seemed.
However, with him here, Elise will not be harmed. Of course, that refers to physical damage. As for mental damage, Lin Zichen cannot guarantee it.
Now Lin Zichen hopes in his heart that Elise's psychological quality can be stronger and not be frightened by the things inside.
Choosing a direction, Lin Zichen took Elise and walked in. With Lin Zichen here, the two of them didn't have to worry about getting lost. Lin Zichen's innate senses allowed them to find the accurate direction, and the three-meter-diameter divine sense was able to
They avoid potential dangers.
"Wait." Elise followed Lin Zichen and was about to take a step when Lin Zichen suddenly stopped Elise. Before the latter could react, she saw Lin Zichen bending down and reached out to grab him.
A snake with black and white stripes!
Elise warrior kept her mouth small and tried not to make a sound, but there was still fear on her face. If it weren't for Lin Zichen's reminder, she might have stepped on this snake!
Moreover, the snake's head is triangular, and you can tell it is a venomous snake at a glance. They do not have serum to treat snake venom, and if they are bitten by a venomous snake, they will be doomed.
"Brother Tony, this..." Elise looked at the venomous snake struggling fiercely in Lin Zichen's hand, her pretty face turned pale.
Holding the venomous snake seven inches, Lin Zichen looked at the venomous snake in his hand with interest. This forest was really getting more and more interesting. He knew the species of the venomous snake in his hand, the King Cobra, and its lifespan can reach 20 years.
For more than five years, its venom is five times that of a cobra! Millions of people have been bitten to death by king cobras in the world!
But Lin Zichen knew that the King Cobra branch is in Asia, but Greece is Europe. Logically speaking, this poisonous snake should not appear in this forest.
"Haha, it seems that we had snake meat soup tonight." Lin Zichen smiled slightly, and then took out a bag from nowhere in Elise's frightened eyes, threw the king cobra in, and then tied it around his waist.
superior.
"Eat!" Elise said to Lin Zichen with a pale face: "Brother Tony, that's a poisonous snake!"
"The meat of venomous snakes is the most delicious. I'll cook it for you when you get home." Lin Zichen smiled slightly and teased Elise.
Seeing Lin Zichen's eyes, Elise quickly turned her head away, thinking to herself: "Even if it's the food cooked by Brother Tony, I will never eat it!"
Girls have a natural fear of snakes, and Elise is no exception.
A king cobra was discovered in this forest, and Lin Zichen suddenly had a feeling that he might see a tiger or a lion here!
Although this feeling was strange, the idea lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be dissipated.
The two people walked deep into Lin Zichen again, and on the way, they found many corpses, some of which had become mummies, and some of which had turned into piles of bones.
"It's really an interesting place." Looking at a white skeleton leaning against a rock, Lin Zichen smiled inwardly. From the first corpse they saw, Lin Zi realized that something was wrong. Most of these people were killed by the same beast.
Killed, because the scratch marks on them are almost the same, and the bodies of these people all have the same features, there are only scratch marks, no bite marks.
Since they were all killed by the same kind of wild beast, why didn't they eat these people, instead they just abandoned the bodies in the forest.
Is it because human flesh doesn’t taste good? Lin Zichen has never eaten it, so naturally he doesn’t know what it tastes like. But in front of wild beasts, whether they are humans or animals, they should be food. And what’s even weirder is that in this forest, except for
Except for some small insects and small reptiles such as lizards, there was not even a bird!
"Brother Tony, be careful!" Just as Lin Zichen was thinking, Elise's voice broke into his ears. When he looked up, Lin Zichen saw a huge black shadow rushing towards him.
