There is a thick canopy overhead, so you can't see the moon and stars in the sky. The woods are even more terrifying at night, and in the darkness by the fire, strange movements can often be heard. Seeing this, the three of them tried to keep the flames of the fire in a stable state.

"Lao Zhao, show me the picture you drawn!" Zhang Xiaohu took the copied map in his hand, and carefully examined it by the light of the fire, it was indeed a map, the mountains, rivers, and forests were clearly depicted, but there was no text marked on it, and it looked clueless.

"Could this be a map of this world?" Zhao Zixuan asked.

"No, it won't! I've seen another map that depicts the situation of the world, and there are many detailed records of many places, and the mountains and rivers in it, the geography and terrain are completely different from this one. Zhang Xiaohu carefully put away this picture, although he didn't know where this picture was depicted, but to be able to put so much thought into designing this facility here, just for this picture, it is conceivable that it must be very precious.

"Alas! I'm so worried we're missing out on a lot of time again this time! Zhang Xiaohu said worriedly.

Zhao Zixuan said with relief: "Lao Zhang, don't think about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" We'll find out when we go back tomorrow at dawn. He took some jerky from his backpack, placed it beside the fire, heated it up, and soon the smell wafted away.

"People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry!" Zhao Zixuan handed the heated jerky to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Eat something first, after tossing for most of the day, my stomach has already protested with me." ”

The three of them were eating jerky when there was a sudden noise from the hole around them, as if something was crawling from the bottom up.

The sound was not loud, but in this dark forest, it was unusually clear, and all three of them were stunned.

"Lao Zhang, did you hear that?" Zhao Zixuan nervously picked up the Mauser gun and stared intently at the entrance of the cave.

"I heard it, not your hallucination." Zhang Xiaohu pulled out his Wuzi treasure knife and got up to hide on the side of the stone cave. Master Wang took out the iron rod he was carrying with him and hid on the other side.

No matter what comes out in a while, as long as it is not a person, what greets him is the thunderous means of the three of them.

Time flies in this moment, a few minutes like a century.

The flames flickered, the wood crackled, and a strange roar rang out from the depths of the forest, adding to the tension.

The dark entrance of the cave is like a gate to hell, and it feels like a lot of evil ghosts will rush out at any moment.

One hand! Yes, a hand came out of the hole, and waved it slightly, and a nice voice sounded from inside, "Is there anyone outside?" I'm coming out! ”

This sudden sound shocked all three of Zhang Xiaohu. The three of them saw a man in white clothes and pants slowly crawl out of the hole, sit down by the fire generously, grab a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth.

"Hmmm! It smells so good! It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious! The man ate a piece of roast meat, and his face was full of intoxication, and his mouth kept praising it.

Zhang Xiaohu and the three of them were like stone sculptures, looking at this mysterious man, they saw that he had no beard at all, a bald head, and an extremely ordinary face, which belonged to the kind that could not be found if he was lost in the crowd, but his eyes revealed a deep light, miserable white skin, no trace of blood at all, and the whole person looked very strange. The trio had absolutely no idea what to do.

"Haha!" The man looked at the stunned three people and laughed, "Why don't you come and sit down?" Isn't it a little surprised to see me! ”

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Master Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

"Huh! How are you! Why are you here again? The man didn't answer directly, but asked Master Wang a question.

"Have you seen me?" Master Wang was surprised, he didn't know many people in this world, and even many people in Nanmu Village didn't know him, why did this man ask like this when he saw him.

"You've changed! Not bad! This time your life field is much better than last time. Last time your magnetic field was very weak, and it felt like you were going to do something bad, we couldn't help but take action and control your negative emotions, life is precious, don't give up casually! Now it looks like you've been doing well lately! The magnetic field has returned to normal. ”

"You saved me last time?" Master Wang said in his heart, no wonder he was originally bent on death, but suddenly he didn't have that kind of thought, he didn't know why, but now it seems that this person saved himself.

"I can't save you, it's still you who can save you, there must be something in your heart that you can't let go of and can't let go, so you don't have to thank me."

"I couldn't have found you!" Master Wang asked, he had been in that room for a long time, but he didn't find anyone.

"Haha! Your mind is not on me, and of course you can't see me! The man rummaged through the trio's backpacks and said in disappointment, "Why didn't you bring that kind of thing called wine?" I was so disappointed! ”

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Zhang Xiaohu put away the knife, walked in front of the man, and asked solemnly.

"What's the matter

Is it a tie? I'm not a human, I'm not a ghost, and I'm not a threat to you, I'm just smelling the smell of your food and coming out to get some passers-by! The man looked at Zhang Xiaohu with a smile and said, "You look bald!" That's how it should be, right? The more things you have on the outside, the more complicated your thinking is, and the more you can't find your heart! Haha, I'm talking too much again! ”

Zhang Xiaohu felt that this person was in front of him, but he couldn't see through him more and more.

"Your knife is good, do you want to know where it came from?" The man said mysteriously.

Zhang Xiaohu said suspiciously: "You know! ”

The man smiled and replied, "Of course I do!" Suddenly, his face changed, and he said to himself impatiently: "Okay, I know, I'll go back!" He stood up, looked at the surprised three, and smiled again: "My words are a bit too much, I have to go back." ”

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said: "Wait! Can you tell me what's going on in this world? ”

"What's wrong with the world?" The man asked, "Isn't it good?" Take things as they come! Listen to me, find a place to live well, and don't always think about going back! There's a saying, yes! Call curiosity to kill the cat! The man didn't know where to take out a square metal box, and said to the three of them: "You have an old saying that 'meeting is fate'!" I ate your food just now, and I don't want to give you something, so I don't want to go. ”

Zhang Xiaohu was just about to continue questioning, when he saw that the man disappeared into the darkness without any warning.

"Holy! We've got a ghost this time! Zhao Zixuan opened his mouth in surprise, he couldn't believe it, a man mysteriously appeared a few minutes ago, and disappeared a few minutes later.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the metal box in his hand, this metal box didn't look very big, about the size of a stationery box, he opened it with a gentle push, and inside was a neatly placed silver ball, he checked it, a total of 48, it was the kind of silver ball that Chenyi gave himself a protector before.

He seemed to have some clarity about the identity of this mysterious man, either the Yelang people or the group of missing mysterious people that Chen Yi had described. But why is he here? Could it be that there is another organ below?

As he pondered whether to go down again, the forest suddenly lit up, and the sunlight pierced the tree cover like a thousand sharp swords, and the light returned to the world, and a new day began.

"It's dawn, it's time for us to go back!" Zhao Zixuan began to pack up his backpack, and suddenly shouted: "Damn, our food is all gone, it must have been taken by that guy just now!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly, it seemed that the three of them were going hungry on the way back.
