"I'm here, where's the machete?"

Su Wanwan pushed aside the bushes and walked to the place where the machete was found, only to see Jiuyou squatting on the ground with his back to him, lifting a dirty thing from the rotten leaves on the ground!

"Hey, why did this machete break in two?" Su Wanwan took a closer look, this dirty thing was a machete, and it could be clearly seen that the machete had a wooden handle that could be held with one hand and an iron knife surface, the knife surface was wide on one side and narrow on the other, although a lot of dirt was glued to the narrow side, the sharp knife edge could still be seen!

It's just that the machete that Jiuyou picked up was not complete, and there was a corner missing from the iron knife......

John's Machete (Quest Item)

Introduction: This is the beloved machete of villager John, who usually loves it and never leaves it!

……

After reading the introduction, Su Wanwan felt that something had happened to this John!

Jiuyou stood up, walked forward with the mutilated mutilated machete, and after passing through a low bush, he stopped, then glanced at the surrounding trees, and said, "I have observed, there are many kinds of trees in the Xiling Canyon, and most of them are suitable for firewood ......"

"Look at this!" Jiuyou said, taking a few steps forward, pointing to the branches of a large tree beside him, "Most of the branches in this area have traces of being cut down, and the texture of the cut surface matches the gap of this machete, here is where John often chops wood!"

Su Wan reached out and touched the broken part of this branch before the evening, and it was really very flat, not like the natural fracture of the branch!

"It's so wooded that you can collect a few loads of firewood, so why would John go to two remote places, the Saipan River and the Nine Springs Lake?"

"This is not clear!" Jiuyou shook his head and said, "This requires us to go to those two places and find clues before we can know!"

"En!" Su Wanwan nodded, her eyes glanced at Jiuyou's hand, "This machete is missing a corner, I'll look for it again!"

"Don't look for it, it's right here for me!" Jiuyou took out another piece of iron from his backpack and compared it to the broken part of the machete, and sure enough, the broken part could fit each other, it was from the same machete!

Jiuyou put the machete into his backpack and suggested, "Let's go to Jiuxing Lake first!

Su Wanwan also has this intention, after all, Jiuxing Lake is just a lake, and the Saipan River is a large river that crosses the Xiling Canyon, with an extremely wide range, and it will be more troublesome to find!

"Without further ado, let's go!"

……

Jiuxing Lake is a circular lake, the water is crystal clear, the surface of the lake is sparkling, and occasionally a few small fish swim up to the surface and spit out strings of bubbles.

Jiuxing Lake is surrounded by lush trees, the most striking of which is the low-hanging willow trees on the lake's edge.

Su Wanwan was fascinated at a glance! I didn't expect to see such a beautiful scenery in the game!

"You can see the bottom at a glance here, and it should be quick to find!" Jiuyou glanced at Jiuxing Lake and said loudly, "The lake changes with the rainy season, the water level is high and low, and the soil by the lake is not solid, be careful when looking for it!"

"Got it!" Su Wanwan raised his eyes to look at the lake, sure enough, the ground by the lake was dark, and if he looked closely, it turned out to be soft silt, if he was not careful, it was really possible that the soles of his feet would slip into the lake.

As soon as Su Wanwan took two steps, she saw a lot of golden flowers growing in the grass by the lake, several of which had dark red dots on them, and then took a closer look, where are the dots on the flowers, which are simply coagulated blood!

"Come on, I've found blood!"

Jiuyou hadn't gone far before he heard the shouting and immediately rushed back.

Picking up the grass near the flowers, the two found that the grass was even more bloodstained!

"There are a lot of blood stains!" Su Wanwan couldn't help but sigh when she found that from the grass on the east side to the edge of Jiuxing Lake, the grass was stained with a little blood all the way.

Jiuyou took the lead in walking to the edge of Jiuxing Lake, only to see messy footprints and a little blood seeping into the soil in a clearing by the lake!

Jiuyou cautiously walked along the surface of the lake, stretched out his hand and made a gesture on one of the footprints, and said, "This footprint is wide, it should be John's footprint!"

"It seems that John has been injured on the way to Jiuxing Lake!" Su Wanwan sighed.

"That's not the same!" Jiuyou shook his head, washed his right hand stuck to the mud in the lake, and said, "It may also be attacked here, and then left injured!"

"What do you say?" asked Su Wanwan.

"Look at this footprint, it's messy...... "Jiuyou pointed to the messy footprints on the ground and guessed, "Maybe John was tired of chopping wood and was thirsty, so he came to this Nine Star Lake to drink water to quench his thirst......"

"There is some truth to this speculation......" Su Wanwan touched her chin, her eyes rolled, what Jiuyou said was not impossible.

Jiuyou continued to speculate: "The situation must have been very chaotic at that time, John was about to drink water, and was attacked unsuspectingly, so the footprints by the lake were very messy, and there were traces of John's blood......!

"Hey, wait...... Wait......"

Su Wanwan listened and listened, feeling that this version of speculation had begun to deviate from normal thinking, and hurriedly interrupted Jiuyou's words.

"What's wrong?, what's wrong?" Jiuyou immediately stopped.

"If you guess that John was attacked by the lake, then no matter whether it was a human or an animal that attacked him, there would always be footprints or something!" Su Wanwan expressed his doubts, pointed to the footprints on the ground, and said, "However, you see that there are only John's footprints here, so it can't be that he is idle and attacks himself!"

"Eh!" In front of the powerful evidence, Jiuyou was speechless.

"Moreover, the three hunters also said that the woodcutters in their village all came to the Xiling Gorge to cut wood, and we just guessed that this footprint was John's!

Jiuyou's eyelids drooped, thanks to Su Wanwan's reminder, why didn't he think of this just now!

"And ......"

Jiuyou was stunned, raised his head, and continued to listen.

"And these bloodstains!" Su Wanwan looked at the bloodstains in the grass, "It doesn't have to be John's blood!"

Jiuyou's eyes lit up, indeed, if a normal person had shed so much blood, he would have fainted to the ground a long time ago, and he could still walk around and leave?

……

Jiuyou was still thinking about other possibilities in his heart, and Su Wanwan suddenly had a happy face: "Jiu Jiu has found the rag!" (To be continued.) )
