Ning Xiaofan cautiously touched the front of the camphor tree, and at this time, he didn't dare to rush around behind the tree, and paused slightly.

A breeze blows, and the leaves rustle.

Behind the camphor tree, there was not the slightest movement, and nothing seemed to exist.

Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly, he believed that his eyes were not flowering, the brown shadow flashed behind this camphor tree, he had already arrived in front of the tree, if the brown shadow was a wild animal, it was impossible not to notice it, how could there be no movement?

Ning Xiaofan knows that wild animals have a hidden instinct, but this instinct has a distance limit, once they enter the attack range, wild animals can continue to hide patiently, it is definitely not a wild animal, but a human.

With his mind racing, Ning Xiaofan leaned over and picked up a stone and threw it to the left side of the camphor tree, and the moment the stone was thrown, his figure rushed to the right side

The stone is on the left, and the man is on the right

With a click, the stone fell to the ground, rolled, and stood still, and Ning Xiaofan's figure had already jumped to the right side of the camphor tree, and the dagger was cold, and the attack posture was full

Ning Xiaofan, who was empty behind the camphor tree, was slightly stunned, his eyes were raised, and there was no one on the tree.

No, slip away?

Looking around, the situation behind the camphor tree is clear at a glance, several big trees, there is a huge craggy rock near the stream, and on the other side of the stream, there are also several rocks with strange shapes.

How did that thing slip away? If it slipped, this level is too high?

Ning Xiaofan deliberately stood behind the camphor tree, and looked in the direction where the little goblin was, and soon, he had a retreat route in his heart.

If you are walking by yourself, then you have to retreat diagonally step by step, first hide behind the nearest big tree, then move diagonally behind the rocks, and then use the shield of the rocks to cross the not wide stream and hide behind the rock pile on the opposite side of the stream.

Ning Xiaofan calculated very accurately, and retreated according to the environment and terrain of this route, so that he could skillfully avoid the line of sight.

The question is, since it is "cleverly" avoided with the IQ of a raw animal, can it be done?

Ning Xiaofan felt ridiculous when he thought about it, he was sure that the fleeting brown figure was definitely not a person, but some kind of creature, and the reason for this was on that "brown", to be precise, the brown figure should be brown with long hair.

Although this area is an area of albino animal activity, it does not mean that there are no normal animals, and most of the normal bears, muntjacs, monkeys, and mandrill animals have brown fur.

Soon, Ning Xiaofan made a new discovery, and there were two shallow traces in front of the big tree closest to the camphor tree.

If you look closely, it looks like footprints.

There are a lot of dead leaves under the hesitant tree, a thick layer, these two footprints are just an outline, if you don't pay attention to it, it's really not easy to find.

Visually inspecting the distance between the camphor tree and this big tree, it was about five meters, and Ning Xiaofan walked back and forth to check carefully, and found that there were only two traces of suspected footprints.

Ning Xiaofan was a little frightened, and an image was sketched in his mind: a brown figure leaped out from behind the camphor tree, this jump, it was nearly five meters, his feet fell to the ground, the brown figure stretched out his hand towards the tree, and his figure was dexterous and flashed behind the tree.

With the image that surfaced in Ning Xiaofan's mind, his own hand also turned towards the big tree, and then slowly walked around to the back of the big tree.

The image in my mind continued, the brown figure did not stop behind the big tree, jumped again, four meters horizontally, jumped to the side of the rock, took a step forward, turned into the rock, jumped out again, jumped directly over the three-meter-wide stream, landed on both feet, and took a stride, submerged into the rock pile on the opposite bank......

That's how the brown figure slipped away.

The scene in Ning Xiaofan's mind disappeared, and at this time, he had already come to the side of the jagged rock more than four meters away from the big tree.

At this time, Ning Xiaofan looked at the pile of rocks on the other side of the stream in a trance, and after a long time, he exhaled softly and looked towards the ground on the side of the rock where he stopped.

The traces left at the scene basically coincided with the image that appeared in my mind, there were two clear footprints on the dirt on the side of the rock, one of which had an extra thumb-sized stone in the center, and the stone was sunk into the mud, obviously stepped on.

Ning Xiaofan looked at the stone that appeared in the center of the footprint, his eyes were slightly condensed, the stone was sharp, and there was no blood on it.

Looking at those two footprints again, Ning Xiaofan's brows furrowed even tighter.

Whether it was the suspicious footprints left in front of the tree, or the two clear footprints left on the side of the rock, the unknown creature must be in an upright state

At first glance, these footprints look a bit like they were left by people, but when you look closely, there is a big difference.

The footprints are slightly longer than the feet of an adult, so it can be inferred that the height is not low, and the weight should be about rukg depending on the depth of the marks and the weight of the leap to the ground.

From the clear footprints left under the rocks, it can be seen that the footprints are barefoot, and the soles of the feet are very thick, otherwise there would be blood stains left on the sharp stones that have been stepped on. There are five toes, the big toe and the second toe are significantly larger, the third, fourth, and lesser toes are much smaller and almost negligible, and the big toe and the second toe are bifurcated, as if you don't look closely, as if you only have two toes.

There are not many animals that can stand upright, but there are many of them, bears, monkeys, and mandrills can all stand upright. But the monkey and mandrill footprints are not that big. In terms of body size and weight, the bear's footprints are relatively similar, but compared to the future, the difference is too great, and it is obviously not the bear's paw footprint.

It's not a human, it's not a bear, Ning Xiaofan really can't think of any animal that would leave such human-like, but very weird footprints.

Able to stand upright, brown hair, move quickly, have a certain IQ, plus similar human footprints, if there are orangutans in Shennongjia, Ning Xiaofan may associate them with orangutans, but unfortunately, there is no record of orangutans in Shennongjia, there may be in ancient times, but the species of orangutans has not been found so far.

Then, Ning Xiaofan could only think of one possibility, that is, the legendary wild man was no longer able to explain the signs he had observed.

If it's a wild man, could it have something to do with the weird black shadow you encountered last night?

If it was, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little up and down in his heart, he thought of the feeling of being secretly peeped at, especially the cold, wild gaze, which made him feel a trace of unspeakable danger.

Will you be secretly targeted by savages?

While Ning Xiaofan felt ridiculous, there was a hint of vigilance in his heart

"Xiaofan, what's wrong with you? Did you find something? ”

Behind him, Aunt Xiang's voice came.

Ning Xiaofan turned his head and saw that Aunt Xiang had already walked over.

"Oh, I saw something shaking it just now, I came to take a look, and I didn't find anything, I guess I was dazzled." Ning Xiaofan responded casually and put the dagger away.

Aunt Xiang listened and breathed a sigh of relief: "I saw that you were nervous, and I thought there was any danger, since I didn't find anything, I went back to the camp, and I was about to eat." ”

Ning Xiaofan nodded, and seeing that the little goblin didn't follow, he asked casually, "What about Director Lan?" ”

"I sent her to the camp, there are a lot of people over there, don't worry about what happens, I don't worry about your side, come and have a look."

Ning Xiaofan's heart warmed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but remind: "Aunt Xiang, if there is such a thing in the future, you'd better not come here rashly, this deep mountain and old forest, it's too dangerous to act alone, I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you......"

"Who let you protect it?" Aunt Xiang smiled disapprerovingly: "Don't look at me as a woman, I still have the ability to protect myself, although your little guy is good, it is not necessarily my opponent......"

Ning Xiaofan was stunned when he heard it, it wasn't necessarily an opponent, what did he mean by this?

He couldn't help but look at Aunt Xiang a few times, her eyebrows were picturesque, her skin was as white as jade, her breasts were high, her waist was thin and her buttocks were plump, no matter how much he looked at it, he couldn't see that this gentle and familiar beauty was a hidden master.

Aunt Xiang was looked up and down by him like this, she was slightly uncomfortable, her face turned red, and she couldn't help but say, "Look at what I'm doing?" Not convinced? Do you want to talk to me? ”

Compare notes? Uh, still exempt.

Ning Xiaofan smiled, how could he learn from the familiar beauty in front of him.

The two returned to the camp, and several local employees such as Lao Wang and Xiaoshanzi had already sorted out their lunches, and they also had a lunch box for each person, and they took care of everything, including rice and bread.

After lunch and a break of about half an hour, under the greeting of the guide, everyone set out on the road to the mine again......

The rest of the journey is up the stream, and the surroundings seem to be a little more beautiful than walking through the dense forest. The clear murmuring water of the stream runs through the trees that shade the sky. Occasionally, you can see the craggy rocks jutting out of the stream, as well as the stacked rock waterfalls. From time to time, you can hear the crisp chirping of birds, and the brightly feathered pheasants fluttering by, or one or two muntjac sticking out of the woods, snooping in a daze.

The nature is beautiful, the air is fresh, and everyone is tired along the way, but their mood has become relaxed.

Perhaps because they didn't encounter any great danger, those experts reverted to their old ways, took out their SLR cameras, and took pictures all the way.

However, the more stinky and beautiful goblin didn't ask Ning Xiaofan to take pictures anymore, and he didn't follow him all the time like he had just entered the forest, but walked with Aunt Xiang.

There was a rush of water.

Everyone walked around a huge rock in front of them, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.

What catches your eye is a waterfall up to 100 meters, the waterfall is not wide, but it slopes down from a high place, like a jade belt. The jade belt cascaded down and merged into a clear pool, splashing with water.

In the vicinity of Qingtan, it is a dove forest, at this time it is the end of spring, it is the season of flowering of dove trees, the petals that look like white doves are full of branches, at a glance, a piece of white waves, just like entering a sea of flowers.
