Chapter 19: Tracking the Spirit (Part II)

At this time, a lump of fallen grass attracted Wang Xingguo's attention, which had deviated from the path and forked out from the side of the path, Wang Xingguo made a stop gesture to stop the team, he looked up at the weather, the weather was still very good, the coffin mountain in the distance seemed to be silently looking at these people who had broken into the forbidden land, thinking about how to deal with these uninvited guests, there was no wind in the sky, the sun hanging in the sky released all its power viciously, the sun was fierce, it was a good thing, it could dispel the fog, Such good weather can only last for two or three days at most, so Wang Xingguo decided to leave here before night.

"Did you find out?" Wang Xingguo looked at the traces of lodging in the grass with some doubts, and then looked at the path, this path was hard and left no traces, Wang Xingguo was a little undecided, did he find another way and walked from the grass.

"Hmm...... There is no ......" Chen Badai followed behind Wang Xingguo, looked around, and was surrounded by tall grass, except for the high coffin mountain and stone wall, he could only see the sun in the cloudless sky.

"Sherpas!" Wang Xingguo called the Sherpa at the end of the line.

"I didn't see it either." Everyone followed Wang Xingguo along the way, although Wang Xingguo asked everyone to broaden their horizons as much as possible, but after entering the Ghost Gate, the grass was high and low, and the sight was obstructed, coupled with the complex terrain and the pressure of following the team, everyone's vision became more and more focused on the previous person, and they didn't even take a few more glances at the outside world.

"Okay......" Wang Xingguo muttered in his heart, this was also a little beyond his expectations, five pairs of eyes are now equivalent to four pairs, but they can't be blamed, after all, none of them have experienced search training, and under the drive of nervousness, it is inevitable that they will not be focused.

"At least for now, the situation is still under control." Wang Xingguo could only comfort himself in this way, but where the dead man went still caused some trouble, he thought about it, and traced the past along the trails of the fallen grass.

"Keep up, keep up with the ......" Chen Badai greeted him back, he followed Wang Xingguo closely, behind him was Xia Ruobing, after the Sherpa was broken, Mr. Min was in front of him, maybe it was the instinctive drive of people in the crisis, or maybe it was the reason why Wang Xingguo repeatedly emphasized that the team was not allowed to disperse, at least for now, their team is still very close, and the good weather has also helped them a lot, so that they will not be unable to find their teammates after turning two corners like last time.

It seems that this dead man really found another way, Wang Xingguo tracked along the fallen grass for more than 100 meters, and in front of him was a stone wall more than two meters high, and the fallen grass stopped here.

"Is that wrong?" Xia Ruobing looked at it, she didn't believe that dead people could climb this stone wall, she looked around, and estimated whether it would be bypassed from the side.

This stone wall is the remains left on the grassy slope by the mountain range, estimated to be hundreds of meters long, as if a knife was cut in the grass, some places are hidden in the tall grass, and some places are abrupt in the low grass, Wang Xingguo looked closer, scraped something from the stone wall with his fingernails, and in the strong sunlight, the thing he scraped out exuded a faint amber luster.

"Sherpas, come up and get a sample." Wang Xingguo shouted, and looked up along the stone wall again, under the sunlight, the amber luster left a trace on the stone wall, and behind a stone near the top of the stone wall, there was a piece of blue that seemed to be shaking.

"Did you catch up?!" Wang Xingguo suppressed his excitement and gestured backwards.

"How?" Xia Ruobing saw Wang Xingguo's solemn expression, and asked in a low voice.

"I'll go up and have a look......" Wang Xingguo thought for a while, and without waiting for Sherpa to come up, he climbed the stone wall.

Two or three meters high is nothing for Wang Xingguo, not to mention that this stone wall is not so smooth that there is no place for footholding, Wang Xingguo quickly climbed to the place where he saw shaking things, but this is not what he imagined, Wang Xingguo carefully took off this piece of blue cloth less than ten centimeters square with his hands, which is the mark left by the sharp stone when the dead man crawled over here.

Wang Xingguo was puzzled, how could a dead stiff person pass through this barrier? Recalling what Wu Lao said, he once held Boss Yan's hand, it was soft, is there really a dead person in the world? Crawled through here yourself? Wang Xingguo touched the nearby stone again, it felt very smooth, slightly tilted his head From another angle, there was a thin layer of things on the stone that exuded a faint amber luster, similar to grease but it didn't seem to be, but Wang Xingguo was sure that these smooth things helped the corpse to cross the stone wall from here.

Wang Xingguo raised his eyes again, searching for things in the distance, about 300 meters away, what caught his eye was a large area of colorful shrouds, there was no wind at all today, those shrouds were lying lifeless on the grass and low trees, lifeless.

Xia Ruobing saw that Wang Xingguo hadn't spoken, and looked up anxiously and asked, "What did you see above?" ”

"Sherpas, have you collected your samples?" Wang Xingguo didn't answer Xia Ruobing's words and asked.

"That's it!" Sherpa replied as he sealed the ziplock tape, labeled it, and placed the sample in a storage bag.

"I think you should all come up and have a look......" Wang Xingguo searched again, confirming that there was no body from yesterday as far as his eyes could see, but the cloth in his hand told him that he had passed through here, and perhaps had merged into the ranks of those ancestors at this time.

Xia Ruobing was the first to climb the stone wall with the help of Chen Badai, and when she raised her eyes, she was dumbfounded.

"This ...... This ...... "Xia Ruobing is incredible, the shroud hundreds of meters away has red, dark blue, and other colors, mostly white, but how can there be so many man-made objects in this no-man's land?!

When Sherpa and the others climbed up, they were shocked by what they saw, and in this area that could not be said to be large, at least a thousand shrouds of different colors could be seen at a glance!

"Last time...... Not so much. Mr. Min said incredulously.

"Last time we were in fog, we couldn't see clearly." Chen Badai explained.

"The corpse must have passed through here." Wang Xingguo stood on the stone wall and searched, finding traces of the corpse passing through the grass, which ran straight towards the location of the shroud.

"Are you sure?!" Sherpa was a little unconvinced, and according to his judgment, he should have caught up a long time ago at this time.

They had been tracking for several kilometers, and at this time they were almost at the bottom of the funnel, and the bottom of the funnel happened to be the gathering place of the shroud, Wang Xingguo looked up at the weather, the sun was still very fierce, and it seemed that everything on the ground was going to burn, and there was no need to worry about the interference of the fog for the time being. Wang Xingguo planned to adjust the plan, since he had arrived here, tracking the corpse was still fruitless, so he would take the search for the remains of the expedition as the first task.

"Definitely, yes, because I found this on the stone wall." Wang Xingguo pinched the piece of cloth and said, handed it to Sherpa, who quickly took out another ziplock plastic bag and packed the cloth.

"Near the bushes over there, where we found the tent, let's go." Wang Xingguo said.

"What time is it?" Mr. Min suddenly remembered this question.

"Well, time doesn't matter...... Not long after entering the ghost gate, Wang Xingguo looked at his watch, the watch had stopped, it was about eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock at this time, they had been tracking for more than three hours, and they couldn't say that they found nothing, but it was still far from expected.

"Wait, I'll take a few pictures." Sherpa pulled out the antique film machine, which had no electronic components at all, it was completely manual, he found a good angle on the stone wall, his eyes were on the camera frame, he pressed the shooting button, he heard a "click", he was relieved, the camera was working here.

Sherpa took a few more photos, and Mr. Min looked at the shroud covering the mountains and suddenly felt a burst of heart palpitations.
