Chapter 230: Lost in the Illusion

Fang Wuxian thought of the footsteps that he had been ignoring, and realized that those people were not simply lost because of the fog, but that there was something wrong with this place, and it was very likely that after a certain range, the sound would not be able to be transmitted.

For example, at this moment, he couldn't hear the slightest sound of Zhang Xiaoxiao and other large troops behind him.

"Team Liu, can you hear me?" Fang Wuxian immediately started the experiment, and sure enough, there was no response behind him. But he knew that the large army was still in place and did not move.

What to do? Go catch up with that squad or go back the way you came?

Fang Wuxian made a decision after a little hesitation. At this time, he was only about 100 meters away from the lost team, and it would take him less than half a minute to catch up with him by running two steps, and it would not be too late to turn back to find the large army at that time. But if he turns back at this time, God knows where this lost team will go.

Fang Wuxian quickly chased forward, but as he ran, he suddenly found that the team had changed direction and had turned outward to the other side of him, still more than a hundred meters away from him.

What a plane!

Fang Wuxian didn't want to chase any further, because the smell of the large army had become very faint, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to accurately locate the location of the large army if he ran another hundred meters.

Fang Wuxian stopped and shouted twice at the lost team, expecting that the distance of more than 100 meters would be heard by the other party. It's a pity that the other party didn't stop moving in one direction, and the speed was not slow, and soon disappeared from his sense of smell.

Fang Wuxian had no choice but to turn around and run in the direction of the large army. After running for more than 100 meters, a large group of vague figures suddenly appeared not far in front, which was the appearance of a large army. He cursed "it", and he already understood why those squads were lost in the thick fog.

It is very likely that the lost squads, like him, saw this fake "big army".

With his super sense of smell, Fang Wuxian could clearly judge that the "big army" in front of him might be an illusion, maybe it was a projection, or maybe it was something he didn't know why, in short, this "big army" didn't exist at all.

The real large army remained in place.

Since he could judge that this "big army" was fake, Fang Wuxian did not plan to catch up. Otherwise, it is inevitable that they will be completely abducted like those lost squads. He used his super sense of smell to determine the location of the real team and ran back quickly.

The process of returning was not all smooth sailing, and when Fang Wuxian ran more than 100 meters, he not only found another "big force" again to lure him to change directions, but also realized that he had run away from the direction he was originally going to run.

People's sense of direction is due to the presence of references. People with a strong sense of direction can judge the position and direction by the sun, the moon, the buildings they see, and the habits they experience. However, people with a weak sense of direction, once the environment changes slightly, they may even give birth to the illusion that the sun is coming out of the west.

In the dense fog, you can't see the sun, moon and stars, you can't see the huge mountain reference, and if you don't carefully observe the yin and yang sides of the tree, no matter how strong the sense of direction is, it is difficult to judge the south, east, west, and northwest. After Fang Wuxian led the wolf extermination team into the dense fog, he only needed to follow the route taken by the wolves, and he didn't need to deliberately distinguish the direction, and he really didn't think about bothering to make a judgment.

But Fang Wuxian did not track the wolves at this time, but wanted to return to the large army. With the large army standing still as a reference, he soon realized that he had gone astray.

"How did you go astray?"

"Obviously, I have determined the direction of the large army in my heart, and I am going straight!"

Fang Wuxian had doubts in his heart, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind: "Ghost hitting the wall".

"That's right, this must be a ghost hitting the wall, otherwise I should have been able to catch up with the lost team just now, and they wouldn't have changed direction suddenly."

Fang Wuxian wasn't too worried about those people who were lost before, because everyone was an elite with loaded guns, even if they were lost, it would be okay, as soon as the sun came out tomorrow morning and the fog cleared, presumably those people had the ability to return to the city alone.

But at this time, thinking of "ghosts hitting the wall", thinking of the "false army" appearing in the dense fog, Fang Wuxian was a little scared. He is not afraid of the so-called "ghosts", but he is worried that those lost teammates will encounter more unpredictable dangers.

I had to go back quickly and tell Zhang Xiaoxiao and Liu Zhenyuan what I saw.

Fang Wuxian no longer ran back with his head down, but used his nose to completely lock the direction of the large army, and after two deviations from the direction, he finally appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, just ten minutes after he left, Zhang Xiaoxiao was checking the traces of the wolves walking, and was about to lead a large army to march.

Fang Wuxian didn't disturb the army's morale in front of everyone, but just dragged Zhang Xiaoxiao and Liu Zhenyuan to a tree and told them what they had experienced and speculated, and the three of them fell silent at the same time.

Liu Zhenyuan was the first to speak: "Is there really a ghost?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "The gentleman is righteous in his heart, how are ghosts and gods to me?" ”

Liu Zhenyuan muttered in a low voice: "You are just a woman, not a gentleman......"

Fang Wuxian tugged at Liu Zhenyuan's arm and diverted his words: "There is nothing to be afraid of when the ghosts and gods arrive, I am sure to take everyone out." It's just that I'm worried about the lost brethren now. ”

"Don't worry, they can't go down with the shadow, and even if they really can't find a way out, tomorrow the sun will come out and the fog will be fine. The top priority is to continue to track the wolves, and our task of eliminating the wolves is complete, and when the time comes, we will take the initiative whether to wait or go out. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao gave full play to the decision-making role of the leader at this time, waved her hand, and moved towards the goal without fear.

This time, in order to prevent any more people from getting separated, Zhang Xiaoxiao asked everyone to move forward like a blind man with the belt of the person in front of him. From time to time, he also reported the number from beginning to end, although the speed was a little slow, but the momentum of the march did not decrease but increased, and there was no incident of getting lost.

After about half an hour of walking, Fang Wuxie's body suddenly shook, and Zhang Xiaoxiao, who stopped his clothes, asked, "What did you find?" ”

Fang Wuxian took the flashlight and shone it on his face, and the light barely passed through the thick fog, reflecting his helpless expression: "Seeing my expression, guess what happened?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao gave him a blank look, but no one could see it in the thick fog. Liu Zhenyuan behind her smiled and said, "Brother, aren't you chasing after you?" Do you want to replace me? ”

This sentence has the meaning of taking responsibility for Fang Wuxie, which is to tell these people around me who can hear: When it comes to tracking techniques, this Fang Su is not as good as me, and it is all my business to catch up with Song Xianming before, and it has nothing to do with him.

Although most of these people on this trip knew that the real master of the tracking technique was Fang Su, Liu Zhenyuan's responsibility still made Fang Wuxie's heart feel a little warm. He smiled: "You don't need Team Liu to make a move, you have already arrived at the wolf lair." ”

"Arrived?" Zhang Xiaoxiao felt that this guy must be joking, he was so relaxed when he arrived at the wolf den, it was funny.

Fang Wuxian squatted down, the flashlight looked forward, lay on the ground and looked at it carefully for a long time, and affirmed: "It's indeed here, but we may not need to make a move." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Zhenyuan was about to step forward, but was stopped by Fang Wuxie.

"Brother, you are my own brother." Fang Wuxian pushed him back and said, "Don't you think, we have been going up the mountain just now, and this is already a cliff, and the wolves have jumped from here. ”

"Wolf jumping off a cliff, what are you kidding!" Liu Zhenyuan said so, but he carefully took a strong flashlight and shone it under his feet, and found that it was really black in front of him, and he tentatively reached out on his stomach, and the cold breath did seem to come from under the cliff.

Liu Zhenyuan looked around carefully, and sure enough, he found the footprints of the wolves leading straight to the edge of the cliff. Although I don't believe that the wolf will take the initiative to jump off the cliff, but thinking of the ghost hitting the wall and the phantom shadow in the thick fog, if it weren't for the innocent way in front of me, everyone would have plunged down the cliff.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhenyuan trembled in his heart. I thought: It's bad, the big army is innocent here, and there is no danger along the way. But will those lost teams fall off the cliff and die without a place to be buried?

Liu Zhenyuan thought of this, Zhang Xiaoxiao, who led the team, also thought of it, and Fang Wuxian also thought of it, and the three of them sighed in unison.

"What now? Can you go back and track those people again? Liu Zhenyuan asked quietly.

Fang Wuxian nodded, and immediately thought that the two of them couldn't see it, so he said in a low voice: "Yes, but if the large army follows over, the marching speed must be too slow, in case something happens, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Liu Zhenyuan said: "Let's take a group of people back to rescue, and the others will be on standby." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "No, Fang Su and I will go to the rescue, Captain Liu will lead the large army to stand by again, if we don't come back, just wait until tomorrow when the fog clears, and then find a way to find us." ”

"You're the captain, you have to stay and lead the team."

There is not much danger in following the army and standing by in place, but there are too many unpredictable dangers in returning to rescue the lost brothers. Liu Zhenyuan usually has a hippie smile, but when he encounters dangerous things, he still has responsibility.

"Even if a small team goes back, it can't be too fast. He can't go back alone without taking care of it. If two people go back, of course, they must choose someone with higher martial arts. ”

The hidden meaning in Zhang Xiaoxiao's words is: Your Liu Zhenyuan's martial arts are not as high as mine, and you can't help if you go.

Being looked down upon by a woman like this, Liu Zhenyuan was so angry in his heart, rolled up his arms and sleeves and said, "Come on, let me see Captain Zhang's kung fu." ”

Fang Wuxian didn't want to go the same way with Zhang Xiaoxiao, because his eyebrows would swell and hurt from time to time when he was with Zhang Xiaoxiao. He was just about to propose that Liu Zhenyuan go back with him, but Zhang Xiaoxiao had already made a final decision: "I am the supreme leader, what I am talking about is the order, do you want to disobey the order?" ”

In the team conducting the war, obedience to the order is the first place, especially this order has no obvious wrong tendency, Liu Zhenyuan can only obey.

In order to prevent the two from getting separated when they were running, Fang Wuxian helplessly opened Xiaoxiao's hand and broke into the fog together.
