Chapter 175: Clues
The four of them followed the footprints on the ground and walked in the northeast direction, and sure enough, they found a lot of clues along the way.
"Look at the grass over there!" said Spirited Away, pointing to a low bush in front of her, "It's neatly grown on both sides, and it's crooked here!"
"Well, it looks like someone has stepped on it. Bai Yunduoduo glanced at it and agreed.
"After walking for so long, it's good that we didn't find the wrong direction!" Yunxia breathed a sigh of relief, walking behind a few people, firmly following.
The four of them walked through the low grass, and a swamp appeared in front of them.
"Huh?" Bai Yunduo looked left and right, and found that the footprints had disappeared here, and wondered, "Strange, did they burrow into the ground?"
Su Wan took a step forward in the evening, and there were only dense reeds growing around the marshland, and no other suspicious places were found.
Spirited Away broke off a reed and poked at the soft swampy ground: "This dirty place can live in people, and you can't be bitten to death by mosquitoes?"
"Are there mosquitoes here?" Yunxia immediately looked around, and suddenly let out a scream.
"Ahhh
With Yunxia's screams, the three of them turned around and saw Yunxia fall to the ground with a "snap", covered with a lot of mud.
"Are you alright?" Spirited Away pulled Yunxia up with concern and helped her pat the mud off her clothes, "Did you step on a stone?"
"Like...... It looks like I've tripped over something!" Yunxia said with a little pain in her elbow.
"Is it ......?" said Bai Yunduo, who looked up sharply, "Is it a snake?"
"Ahhh!!h
"What?snake?ahhhh
……
In the end, it was a girl, and they were all afraid of snakes, and when they were reminded by the white clouds, the four of them let out bursts of screams and hugged each other.
"Ahhhh
Spirited Away suddenly felt a sleek object on the soles of her feet, and immediately ran away with her hands dancing, her face flushed, and her reaction was very intense.
"Where, where?" the other three were also startled and retreated.
The place where they were standing just now was vacant, and the four of them realized that there was indeed a long snake-shaped object on the ground—a hemp rope.
……
It turned out to be a false alarm!
"It turned out to be hemp rope!" Bai Yunduo's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"How can there be such a thing as hemp rope in the wilderness?" Su Wanwan looked at the hemp rope hidden in the reeds and said curiously.
This hemp rope looks very strong, and it is much thicker than the one Su Wanwan bought in the store.
"Huh!" Bai Yunduoduo squatted down, picked up the hemp rope on the ground, and pulled it, and found that the hemp rope was surprisingly long.
I searched for one end of the hemp rope, pushed away the layers of reeds, and finally found a strong hemp rope tied to a thick tree.
"This ......" Yunxia looked at the hemp rope hesitantly and said, "Why do I think someone deliberately tied it?"
"Pull down the other end and you'll know!"
Su Wanwan had already guessed the function of this hemp rope in her heart, and searched next to the big tree, and sure enough, she found a simple bamboo raft not far away, which confirmed her guess.
"Bamboo raft?" Yunxia watched Su Wanwan pull the bamboo raft out, very strange, and said, "Is there a river here, how can there be a bamboo raft?"
"Oh oh! I see!" Bai Yunduo suddenly realized, patted his head, and said, "They must have placed it on the swamp on a bamboo raft, and then pulled this hemp rope over!"
Spirited Away and Yunxia seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and their faces were blank.
"Come and help, this bamboo raft is a bit heavy!" The bamboo raft was a little big, and Su Wanwan pulled for a while, but he was tired, so he hurriedly beckoned others to come over to help.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Only then did the three of them react, helped pull the bamboo raft to the reeds, and threw it on the swamp with a "bang".
……
The four of them sat on a bamboo raft and pulled the hemp rope together, so that they could safely pass through this swamp.
Jumping off the bamboo raft, the four of them saw a bamboo raft hidden in the reeds next to them, and it could be seen that the group of people should have left in a hurry, and half of the bamboo raft was still exposed, and there was no time to cover it.
Wasting a lot of time in the swamp, the four of them picked up their spirits and continued to walk......
"Oops, there's blood here!" Yunxia suddenly let out a scream, then her body trembled, and she subconsciously clenched the bow and arrow in her hand and leaned in the direction of the three of them.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just the effect in the game, you think of it as ketchup, red and sweet!" Bai Yunduo patted Yunxia's shoulder and comforted.
Su Wanwan squatted beside the bushes, and sure enough, she saw a few leaves stained with a little blood, reached out and picked one of the leaves, and put it in front of her eyes to carefully identify it, these blood were not completely coagulated, and they were a little sticky.
"The blood hasn't coagulated, people shouldn't have gone far!" Su Wanwan stood up and analyzed, "The direction we are chasing is right, go!
