What is it?

Jiang Yao's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly stepped forward carefully, squatted down, pushed aside the grass and looked inside, and found that the leaves of the grass were dripping with a few drops of pale yellow dry stains, which were faintly glowing in the dim environment.

"It's ...... Traces left by the powerful fluorescent agent?" Jiang Yao observed for a moment, but his heart was full of suspicions. "How can industrial reagents appear in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"Ah...... Speaking of which, my brother seemed to have a fluorescent agent on him that day, which seemed to be used in his project. Zhou Wentao also came over, pointed to the residue on the grass and said to Jiang Yao. "This ...... Could it be my brother's stay?"

"It doesn't seem to have rained in the mountains these days, and it's possible that the traces left at that time can be preserved to this day. Tao Tao glanced at the fluorescent dots on the ground a few times and said. "But after all, it's been a few days, and the traces are very faint, I'm afraid it can't be used as a clue. ”

"If I want to restore the traces, I have a way. After listening to the words of the two, the white pheasant remembered something, and quickly flipped up the "Baibao Backpack" and took out a box of silver powdery things from it.

"This is 'Returning Shadow Powder', as long as it is sprinkled on the ground a little, it can show the traces that have been left in a week in a short period of time, and now that the time has not passed, maybe it can really restore the imprint left by Zhou Wenhai and them at that time. ”

As he spoke, the white pheasant reached out and grabbed a small pinch of silver powder from the box, and gently sprinkled it into the grass dripping with fluorescent agent, and after a while, the faint fluorescent traces on the ground gradually brightened, only to see the mottled light points connected into an intermittent straight line, spreading to the depths of the forest;

"Wow, what is this? so amazing!?"

Seeing such a novelty, Zhou Wentao couldn't help but come to the white pheasant's side and look at the small box for a long time, Jiang Yao saw this for fear that he would ask something he shouldn't ask, so he quickly opened the topic:

"Uh...... Well, I guess these footprints should have been left by Brother Wen Hai and them at that time, right? But there's a strange place......

"Is it?, what's strange?" When Zhou Wentao, who had thick lines, heard this, he couldn't care less about being curious about the powder, and hurriedly asked.

"Judging from these footprints, it seems that there were four people who entered the forest at that time, but at that time, there should only be two bodyguards, Akui and Lao Qi, who were around Brother Wen Hai, to ......" Jiang Yao pointed to the footprints on both sides of the "fluorescent line", and said with a positive color. "In that case, whose footprints are there?"

"Could it be left by the police officers who were investigating at that time?" Zhou Wentao thought for a while and said.

"Probably not. The white pheasant said, crouching down to take a closer look at the footprints. "The traces of the 'Shadow Return' will reveal the depth of the traces according to the distance of time, and these footprints and fluorescent agents are the same shade, so they should be left at the same time. ”

"That's easy, let's follow these traces, maybe we can find the location of Zhou Wenhai's accident at that time...... As long as these traces continue. ”

Halfway through his words, he suddenly raised his head and looked faintly at the dark and oppressive dense forest.

"But beware of the woods, which are trickier than I thought. ”

"It's because ...... The monster that fled into the woods before?" Jiang Yao asked.

"More than that. Tao Tao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yao. "Haven't you noticed that this forest is too quiet?"

Jiang Yao was stunned, and then realized the reason why he felt uncomfortable with the forest in front of him before. It's too quiet, indeed...... It was unusually quiet, there was not even a trace of the insects and birds that are common in the mountains and forests, it was like a dead silence in the world of the dead.

"All in all...... Let's go and see first, my 'Shadow Powder' won't last long, I'm afraid we'll have to hurry......" said the white pheasant, caressing the diamond stud earrings on her earlobes thoughtfully, staring into the depths of the forest, not knowing what to think.

Everyone understood, and then set off, and the group carefully followed the footprints that appeared on the ground, and began to go deeper and deeper into this gloomy dense forest.

The fog of the early morning has not yet dissipated, and the towering trees rise straight into the sky, quietly covering the sun with dense canopies, even in the daytime, it also gives people a sense of depression covered by dark clouds, not to mention the dead silence in the ears, the deeper you go into the forest area, the more uncomfortable it is, it is like a realistic version of the "Silent Hill".

"I heard you say before, the deep mountains and old forests are generally the cultivation grounds of demons, are there also in this forest?"

Jiang Yao looked at Zhou Wentao, who was chatting with the white pheasant in front of him, deliberately slowed down, walked to the gluttony behind the palace and asked in a whisper.

"At least not yet, but ......," Gluttony said calmly, glancing around. "But I don't think even if there were demons here, they probably wouldn't be there now. ”

"Why?"

"Hehe, who would cultivate in the forest with miasma?"

"Miasma......? Is that monster nearby?" Jiang Yao immediately became nervous and turned his head to look back.

"I can't say, the miasma breath is very weak, and I can't discern the direction specifically, but this miasma is enough to cause harm to living things. Tao Tao said, retracting his gaze from a distance, and finally fell on Jiang Yao.

"But for you who have the power of Zhurong, you shouldn't have to worry about being eroded by the miasma, but you have to watch the kid in front of you, it's okay if you're around, if it's too far away from you, I'm afraid it will be affected by the miasma. ”

Jiang Yao didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded and planned to run to Zhou Wentao's side, but found that the two people in front of him suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yao ran forward and found that the hillside in front of him had collapsed, and the continuous fluorescent agent and footprints also came to an abrupt end at the end of the front.

"Oops...... The traces are covered by mountain soil, and now even if it is a "shadow fan", there is no way to do it. ”

The white pheasant's face was solemn, and his eyes scanned back and forth around, but unfortunately the area of the mountain landslide was not small, and there were no footprints and fluorescent agents in the sight, and under the influence of the landslide, the trees in front of him were crooked, but two forks were accidentally revealed, one left and one right, extending to the depths of the unknown fog.

"What should I do? Which way to go?"

Zhou Wentao spread his hands and looked at Jiang Yao in embarrassment, as if he was waiting for him to make an idea, and Jiang Yao was also confused at this time, so he could only continue to pass his gaze for help to the gluttony behind him, but he saw that the other party was staring intently at the dense forest in front of him, frowning slightly.

Jiang Yao turned his head and looked at the gluttonous line of sight, and suddenly found that a corner of the dense forest in the distance seemed to be faintly bulging a bag of soil, and it was gradually expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What is that?

Jiang Yao rubbed his eyes, looked carefully again, and this time he finally found that the dirt bag was not expanding, but approaching them at a rapid speed, and with the more and more obvious vibrations of the ground, everyone reacted at that moment.

"Not good!!"

At the moment when the two of them fell to the ground, the dirt bag finally rushed in front of everyone, only to see a black shadow flying out of the dirt bag, stabbing at Zhou Wentao's original location like a sharp arrow, and passing by the two people who had dodged away.

"Bang ——!!"

The dirt mixed with the stones was torn apart in the deafening sound of blowing, and they smashed on Jiang Zhou's body one after another, Jiang Yao endured the severe pain and pulled Zhou Wentao to get up, and suddenly smelled a foul smell coming from behind, and when he turned around, he was facing a pair of vicious vertical pupils glowing with fluorescent green light, and suddenly a bone-chilling chill jumped from his head to the soles of his feet.

I saw that the monster in front of me looked like a human being, its slender and huge body was covered with fine black scales, and its limbs were only four fingers although they looked like humans, and it was prostrate on the ground like a lizard; It's just that Jiang Yao quickly noticed that the right half of the other party's body seemed to have a scar from the explosion, which reminded him of last night's car bombing, but the speed of healing of this injury was incomprehensible to him.

"Uh-huh, ah——!hh

Zhou Wentao looked at the behemoth in front of him that was twice as large as him, and suddenly his legs were weak in fright, and he almost sat on the ground again, but fortunately, Jiang Yao reacted in time, picked up Zhou Wentao with his backhand and jumped back, once again being able to dodge the sharp flying claws of the monster.

"Boom—"

The body of the monster in the air was stunned, but he was unwilling to stop there, and he turned his head and was about to bite Jiang Yao and the two with his mouth open, but as soon as he turned his head, the monster's head and neck suddenly folded forward strangely, and with a crisp "click" sound, the monster suddenly couldn't support it and fell to the ground.

"Let's go!"

The gluttonous figure fell from the monster's side, and it was obviously him who stepped on the monster's neck earlier. Jiang Yao came back to his senses, hurriedly pulled up Zhou Wentao, bypassed the monster under the cover of gluttony, and ran wildly towards the fork in the road in front of him with the white pheasant, but after only a few steps, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of "click" behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the monster whose neck should have been broken actually twisted his neck again, and his whole head turned behind him at 180 degrees, staring fiercely at Jiang Yao and others behind.

"I'll go! This thing can't die if its neck is broken?!" Zhou Wentao was shocked, but this was not the time to be shocked, only to see that the monster's body turned around and pounced on everyone again!

"Pound!!"

With a loud bang, the monster's body suddenly froze in the middle of the process, and then flew sideways like a cannonball, overwhelming the surrounding trees in an instant.

"I'll hold it off, you run. The gluttonous who kicked the monster stood behind everyone, and the original indifferent look on his face had long disappeared, while Jiang Yao noticed that there seemed to be a black mist lingering around the ankles of the glutton, and it seemed that the previous two feet had also attracted the miasma on the monster's body.

"Gluttony, ...... your feet!?" Jiang Yao was startled, and subconsciously stopped his steps, but was dragged by the white pheasant.

"Listen to him, hurry up!" said the white pheasant. "We can only be a burden here, he will be fine!"

"Bang ——!" another loud bang rose into the sky, and the gluttonous third kick had already beckoned to the monster, Jiang Yao only felt that the black shadow flashed in front of him, and the gluttonous figure was mixed with the flying dust and the shadow of the monster entangled in it. Jiang Yao gritted his teeth, but decided to follow the gluttonous warning, and then pulled up the soulless Zhou Wentao, and rushed into the fork in the road ahead along the instructions of the white pheasant.

The grappling in the forest continued, but it didn't last long, and after a few moments, the monster's roar began to weaken and eventually fell silent.

"Tsk, I can't see that this kid is running quite fast, and he will disappear after a while......"

Tao Tao kicked away the remains of the monster on the ground, looked up at the direction Jiang Yao left, and smiled slightly, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, his body suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and looked at the misty forest behind him, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

I saw a slender figure like a ghost, slowly appearing in the mist.
