Not only Lin Xiaofeng heard the sound, Ling Qiangwei, Xun Chen, and Gandade ran out together with his hound.
In the camp, except for the shining flames, there was no figure of Jue Chen at all.
Everyone fell silent.
The flame kept shining.
Lin Xiaofeng's face darkened and he looked around warily.
"Where's the Jue Chen people?"
Xun Chen glanced at it.
"I don't know." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head: "I just came out and it was already like this. Did you see anything?"
"No." Ling Qiangwei's face was solemn: "Me too, I saw a fire when I came out, but there was no sign of Jue Chen."
"Could it be that he saw something and chased him out?" Xun Chen suggested.
"How is that possible?" Ling Qiangwei said: "That monk can only talk a little bit. He can't even defeat Gandade, so how can he chase other people?"
"Could it be that he was captured by something?" Gandard couldn't help but asked.
Hunters like them have heard many horrific legends.
Lin Xiaofeng frowned: "It's unlikely. Jue Chen may not be able to beat you, but in terms of his ability to escape, even I can't touch the corner of his clothes."
"Wait and see, maybe he saw something and followed him to take a look."
After Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, no one felt sleepy.
Everyone gathered around the campfire and looked around cautiously.
But the surroundings were deathly silent, with no movement at all.
The sky soon became dimly bright.
Only then did Lin Xiaofeng really start to worry about Jue Chen's safety.
At first, Lin Xiaofeng was not too worried.
According to his understanding of Jue Chen, even if he was going to do something, he would still say hello to them.
Or maybe it's really an urgent matter and it's been time to come back after such a long time.
"It seems that something unexpected happened to him." Ling Qiangwei couldn't help but sigh.
Although Ling Qiangwei mocked Juechen on weekdays, it didn't mean she felt better.
Anyway, we walked together for five days in the heavily snowy Daxinganling Mountains.
"You guys wait here, I'll search nearby to see if there are any clues." Lin Xiaofeng could not remain indifferent to Jue Chen's disappearance.
Not to mention that it was impossible for the master to let me take Juechen out to gain experience, and I had a part of the responsibility to take good care of him.
More importantly, for such a long time, Juechen and I have been through thick and thin together.
Even if he dies, Lin Xiaofeng still has to see Jue Chen's body, so that he can feel at ease, right?
"Are you looking for it alone?" Ling Qiangwei asked.
Gandade hugged the hound and said, "Brother Lin and I will go together. You two will stay in the camp and wait for us."
Gandade has rich experience in the Greater Khingan Mountains. Without him, Lin Xiaofeng would probably get lost or even be unable to return to the camp.
"Yeah." Xun Chen said, "Be careful and come back before dark."
Lin Xiaofeng and Gandade walked out of the camp together and looked for Jue Chen.
There was no news for a whole day.
Not even any footprints were seen.
The sky is getting dark.
Lin Xiaofeng and Gandade also returned to the camp.
"How's it going? Do you have any clues?"
Ling Qiangwei and Xun Chen, who were waiting in the camp, stepped forward.
Lin Xiaofeng had disappointment in his eyes and shook his head: "Let's continue looking tomorrow."
Xun Chen couldn't help but said: "Lin Guizhi, I know you have a good relationship with Juechen, and we also want to find him as soon as possible."
Lin Xiaofeng raised his head and guessed something. His voice became colder and he looked at Xun Chen: "What do you want to say?"
Xun Chen said: "I think we should focus on completing the mission first. Maybe when we are looking for that temple, we can meet Jue Chen by chance?"
"Xun Chen." Ling Qiangwei couldn't help but speak: "Doing this doesn't mean abandoning your companions?"
"How could it be abandoned?" Xun Chen said: "We are members of the Demon Catching Bureau and have also been awarded military ranks. Since we are soldiers, completing the mission should be the first factor. What's more, Jue Chen has disappeared for a whole day. Who knows?
Is he already dead?"
Ling Qiangwei said without hesitation: "I don't agree!"
"I am the commander of this operation." Lin Xiaofeng said with a cold face, "We must find clues about Jue Chen."
Xun Chen couldn't help but persuade: "Commander Lin, I know you have a good relationship with Jue Chen, but..."
"It's not just Juechen. When we go out to perform tasks, we are friends who share the same hardships. Even if you disappear, I will do the same." Lin Xiaofeng said firmly.
Xun Chen shook his head slightly: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything, so as not to become a bad person."
In fact, Lin Xiaofeng can understand Xun Chen's approach.
Not only Xun Chen, but also Lin Xiaofeng felt that Jue Chen's life or death was uncertain at this time.
Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for Xun Chen to propose completing the task first.
But it is impossible for Lin Xiaofeng to do that.
After four people and one dog had eaten.
Lin Xiaofeng said: "Miss Ling, one person is missing now. Three people keeping vigil at night consumes too much energy. You have to do your part. I hope you understand."
Ling Qiangwei nodded: "Of course, you didn't ask me to keep vigil in the past few days, so it was you who took care of me."
Unexpectedly, Gandade said: "Brother Lin, Sister Ling, I will just keep watch all night."
"You?" Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Gandade: "You don't want to sleep?"
"It's okay, I'm young and my body can handle it." Gandade nodded.
Lin Xiaofeng glared at him: "I still don't know what you are thinking? Just four people taking turns on duty."
Gandard is a particularly honest type of person.
After giving his grandfather money to treat his illness, Gandade always wanted to repay them.
Just take away the snow aspect.
When we were on the road before, the five of us usually took turns walking at the front. After all, that was the most labor-intensive job.
But Gandade kept walking with his head down every time, and Lin Xiaofeng had to remind him every time before he retreated to the back.
"Everyone, go to bed early. I'll be on duty first." Lin Xiaofeng said, "I can't sleep now either."
After the three of them entered the tent and went to sleep, Lin Xiaofeng lit a cigarette and took a long drag.
He was in a very bad mood at this time.
With Jue Chen's life and death uncertain, Lin Xiaofeng wanted to find the boy quickly, but he didn't have the slightest clue.
"Hey." Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, took out a bottle of white wine, took a sip, and warmed himself up.
Everyone watches for two and a half hours.
Soon, it was Xun Chen's turn.
Lin Xiaofeng also entered the tent and slept.
However, he was not deeply asleep. Even if he was sleeping, the slightest sound could wake him up.
After all, the disappearance of that boy Jue Chen is too weird.
I don't know how long it took.
Outside the tent, another person's scream suddenly came.
Ling Qiangwei's voice.
Lin Xiaofeng suddenly opened his eyes.
He rushed out at extremely fast speed.
But just like yesterday, except for the burning fire outside, there was no trace of Ling Qiangwei.
