I can see the marks left on the trees. `

Obviously, the other party regards the trunk as a target, and from this, he can naturally fix his position lightly.

It turns out that the man didn't land at the bottom of the cliff when he descended!

I suddenly understood why.

He landed directly from the cliff face, using tools and with the help of a tree trunk, farther away from where we had landed.

In this way, because of the different locations, the deep ditch was narrowly avoided.

He really has a plan!

I can deduce from the traces on the trees that his actions confirm my initial suspicions about him.

Presumably, the tsundere boy had the same thoughts in his heart as me, so he specially reminded me to let me see the marks on the tree.

However, new questions then surfaced.

Based on the information I have now, I will definitely analyze it so that I can clarify my thinking.

When I look at the deep valley in front of me, I don't just have to use the adjective "inaccessible"!

No one is going to break in, okay!

Who would put so much effort into coming down from the top of a cliff at the risk of falling?

Before coming down, you had to walk in the dark cave passage for so long.

If it weren't for the fact that I was tracking that guy, I believe that even if I had taken a fork in the road with the tsundere boy in the cave and strayed into this area, I would have returned the same way and left as far as I could.

That's the right choice.

That guy was able to prepare before he descended, which meant he had at least been to this place before.

A look of confusion flashed in my eyes. With his hand still pressed on the mark on the trunk of the tree, he looked back at the tsundere boy and asked, "What is the origin of that person?" ”

"He's been here before, is there any reason to come here again?"

I looked at the tsundere boy. There was a little anticipation in his eyes.

I would definitely like to hear an answer from him.

Because every time I encounter something, the young master always knows more than me.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed this time, and he didn't know why.

He just looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoling, your question can be asked when we catch him." ”

When I think about it, he was right!

Well, take a deep breath. I sorted out my bags casually, looked at the tsundere boy and said, "Let's go ahead and hurry." ”

I glanced at the misty woods, retracted my gaze, and said, "Since he's all in the valley." Always follow the route. ”

I paused, then said, "Let's go into the woods." ”

The boy nodded, and he walked ahead of me, and I followed. `

It's like walking in the mountains before. We kept the same pace and habits as we were.

I've walked around the mountains with the tsundere boy more than once. From outside Suzhou to the present, after several experiences, there is a tacit understanding between the two people.

Now, the boy and I walked to the other side of the woods, opposite the cliff where we descended.

As for the deep ditch where we fell, the dead leaves and branches that had been hidden on it were now destroyed, because I had landed with him.

We ignore this!

I didn't want to be as insidious as the guy who walked by before. Disguise it above to confuse those who come after.

Just let it go, even if someone is behind it. We don't want to do the same thing for a while.

It may be that the shadow left by the previous scene is too deep.

The boy and I magically agreed on this, and we didn't say a word to each other.

The forest was so large that I walked with the boy for about a quarter of an hour without seeing the edge.

Looking ahead, there is still a dense forest with fog, but it seems that the further you go, the thicker the fog becomes.

Something is wrong!

Doubts flashed in my heart, but the pace of the tsundere boy never stopped, and I naturally had to follow him on.

There is no road in the forest, so you can only follow your own feelings.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound from the place where the soles of the feet were stepping.

I was stunned, and the young man in front of me suddenly turned around and changed his expression in an instant, and suddenly he took a step back and stretched out his arm.

I was held hostage by him, and I jumped up and landed on a tall tree beside me.

The probe looked under the tree, so dangerous!

The position I just walked collapsed!!

There was obviously a large pit in the ground.

A familiar scene appeared, and my whole person was not good.

My heart beat faster, I stared in horror at the pit in the ground, and stood on the tree for a few seconds before I looked at the boy in surprise.

My gaze swept over the big pit at the bottom again, looked sideways at the boy and asked, "How is it the same handwriting?" ”

Could it be from the same people?!

Look at the style of the trap on the ground, just like the one we encountered before, it was completely defenseless, it was simply inadvertent.

If it weren't for the tsundere boy's quick reaction and quick judgment, I might have fallen just now.

The problem is that he gets ahead of me.

It seemed to me that while walking in the woods, I barely heard him stepping on fallen leaves.

I was a little shocked by this discovery, could it be that when he walked, he still used his internal strength? Is it deliberately lightened to settle down?!

This gap is beyond my reach!

Unlike the last time he and I had been walking along the path in the forest, this time we had no road in front of us, and we were walking completely according to our feelings, to the other side of the forest. `com

The only thing that prompted me to make a judgment was the cliffs behind me that were gradually blocked by the dense forest.

The farther you go, the smaller the cliff becomes.

There is no way to take a fork in the road, because there is no road at all, and all parts of the forest are covered with dead branches and fallen leaves.

However, the pit in front of us is still a trap that we are familiar with!

I relied on the tsundere teenager's quick reaction time and time again to catch me and dodge. Otherwise, I would definitely fall into that big pit, and I will definitely not be able to avoid it on my own strength.

I can't imagine that in less than half an hour. He saved me twice!

When I remembered what I had encountered in the misty forest, I knew that there was a very deep pit underneath, and if I fell, I would have to hang up the lottery.

Wrong! A thought crossed my mind.

It's the same trap of the Misty Forest, and the last time I remember walking through that forest, it was hard to see the road clearly.

The problem is that as far as we can see now, it seems that the center point of the fog is not where we are right now.

But the pitfalls have already appeared in advance. Could it be that more traps await us ahead?

Thinking about this, I frowned and couldn't say a word.

The boy turned to me and asked, "Xiaoling." You coward and scared silly again? How many times have you met this, are you still so scared? ”

I shook my head and whispered the question I had just thought to the tsundere boy.

He showed a sudden expression, looked at the corners of my mouth and said, "What are you afraid of." Lord is here. will keep you safe. ”

"Even if you are a little unlucky and fall into the pit, the master will definitely fish you out, is it not possible?"

I glared at him, lowered my head and muttered for a moment.

Although he often didn't like what he said, I knew that he might be better than I thought, and I decided to believe him.

From climbing the rock wall to descending the stone cliff. From going to the cave to saving my life from falling into a deep ditch, the tsundere boy did exactly what he said. You've always kept me safe!

I don't think there's any reason not to trust him!

I know it's different from the trap I encountered when I was in danger outside Suzhou.

None of what we encounter in the mountains in this area is set up in the corners for the purpose of catching wild beasts.

It is purely to prevent strangers from breaking in, and it itself acts as a deterrent.

The area around the Misty Forest is reasonable, but what is it for?

The guy who had escaped from the alien camp was bent on rushing here, and there was bound to be something very attractive to him ahead.

I thought in my head, as if I was approaching that point.

The barrier in front of the truth is like the mist in the woods.

Once the clouds are cleared, I believe the answer is definitely waiting!

But when I think about it, I saw a trap, and it was still easy for people to have bad associations.

The tsundere boy looked at me and added: "Xiaoling, you don't have to be afraid, the more traps there are, the more you are not far from unraveling the mystery." ”

I glanced at him, but thought of it with me.

"I'm as curious as you are," the boy said as he winked at me and hugged his elbows, "I want to see what it means for them to get a trap." ”

The young man looked down at me after thinking about it and said, "Xiaoling, it's safer for me to take you away." ”

"Young Master, you have to be careful no matter what," I paused and sighed, "in case we fall into a trap, it's better than the Misty Forest." ”

I said depressedly: "Although the Misty Forest is remote, there are still people who will pass by, but there are really only birds flying and beasts walking here!" ”

"Don't worry, I know."

The young man smiled at me and said, "Xiaoling, hurry up and go." ”

He held me hostage, and just like that time, he leaped through the woods, landing again and again on the trees.

It seems that he is going to use the same method and go straight out of this forest.

Beside him, as he moved through the woods, I closed my mouth in recognition and said nothing.

I know that this way is a huge test for the body, so don't disturb the people around you.

The guard walked out of the inn lobby, passed near the wooden staircase, and saw the young man of the inn talking to the cook.

They seem to be discussing something.

The guard was very powerful, and it turned out that the cook of the inn had relatives living in the town, and he had come to look for him today, and he was going to go and have a look.

I heard that he was old, and the cook was worried that he was living alone in case there was something important to do.

The guards glanced at each other, and then one of them lowered his voice and said to his companion, "What we ate just now was made by the chef of this inn." ”

"We've never seen the same food when we're on the street, have you seen it in a restaurant?"

The companion shook his head and said, "The method is quite fresh. ”

After thinking about it, he said in a serious tone: "I once followed the Lord to the Flame Country to do a mission, and I tasted a similar meal over there, if you think about it carefully, it is a bit similar. ”

"The Flame Country, is the Flame Country that Bai Ziyao, the King of Dongping, rebelled against?"

"Or else?" His companion gave him a strange look and muttered, "Is there a second Flame Country?" ”

"The Lord sent a team of our men and horses, and they have been stationed in Dongping City, I don't know what the situation is over there?"

"Hey, you're still worried about this, take care of the things in front of you for the time being, and you have to leave tomorrow morning."

The two of them talked a few words on the side of the stairs, and the words were very soft, deliberately lowering their voices.

The young man standing outside the large kitchen in the backyard followed the direction they had left and glanced at their backs towards the wooden staircase.

After a moment, he turned his head and continued to talk to the cook.

After a few moments, the guard went upstairs and went back to his own room.

The conversation outside the big kitchen also came to an end, and Master Ding insisted on going because he was not worried about his relative.

The young man hurriedly told him, "Master Ding, you must come back before dawn tomorrow morning!" ”

"Otherwise, if the guests order food before leaving, we will be embarrassed to snub people."

The cook nodded and said, "Don't worry, you will be back before dawn." ”

He took a few steps, thought about it, and felt that he had to be a little safer.

The cook looked at the young man and said, "There are still some prepared snacks in the big kitchen, in case the guests get up early tomorrow morning and have to hurry, you can warm them up." ”

The young man agreed, and watched the cook leave the inn.

He turned back into the lobby on the ground floor of the inn and cleaned up the empty dishes and chopsticks on the table.

When the guard returned to the house, the two of them were talking.

Because I ate that bowl of steaming stewed hemp food, my temporary sleepiness was driven away, and I had no intention of resting at all.

Chatting and chatting, it was time to talk about the dishes ordered by the aliens in the restaurant when it was dark.

"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't eat a few bites, and I have to leave tomorrow morning, it's a pity."

The companion sat at the table, looked at the guard, shook his head, and said, "I didn't expect that in the small town of Nanhua, the business of the restaurant would be like that." ”

"It's because it's in the north of the town, it's next to the market, and there are a lot of people coming and going!"

"Earlier, the innkeeper said that he also brought a bowl of food to the lord, but we didn't hear the lord talk about this."

"Don't take care of it, we must be waiting for news at this time, didn't our people go to the mountains?" The companion lowered his voice and paused, "There may be news tonight." ”

"The signals have been sent."

The two people who explored the mountains will at least come back with a message, whether they have found a trace or not.

The guard looked at his companion suspiciously and asked, "You say, did that little junior sister really run away to the mountains?" ”

The fog ahead was still thick, and from where we had stayed, it was even worse than when we first entered the woods
