The rain didn't last long, it stopped after less than two hours, and the man with glasses looked at the mist steaming from the ground with a strange face, scratching his head and feeling a little confused.
"Didn't you say that the rain in the abyss would have no end when it rained? Why did it stop so quickly? Babyface had just woken up, and his sleepiness had not completely subsided, and he was worried that some man-eating beasts would come from somewhere, so he quickly patted his cheeks to keep himself awake.
The man with glasses ignored him, squatted on the ground, touched the stagnant water in the low depression with his hand, and his expression changed from suspicion to horror.
"This ...... This rain is really hot. ”
The babyface was lowering his head to sort out the package, and he didn't see the look of the man with glasses, thinking that he was deliberately playing tricks on himself, and he 'cut' without stubble. When he walked out of the woods with his backpack, his eyes widened.
He didn't have to test the stagnant water on the ground, he could see that the thin layer of white mist floating in the air was obviously the water vapor that had evaporated from the stagnant water.
If the area covered by water vapor is not large, it is not unusual, the problem is that everywhere he can see, there is such a white fog everywhere, and the temperature is significantly higher than when it rains.
"The rain just now was obviously cold, huh?" He also squatted on the ground with his glasses, and tried the stagnant water with his fingers, the water temperature was at least forty degrees higher, which was the temperature of his usual bath water, "What the hell is going on?" I can't be dreaming, am I? ”
A long and two short whistles suddenly sounded in the distance, which was a contact signal for the beard, and the two of them tightened their hearts, temporarily put aside the doubts in front of them, and ran over with their backpacks on their backs.
The bearded man was standing in front of a cave, pulling the ground with a tree branch, and his expression seemed to be a little solemn.
"Brother, what's wrong?" As soon as the man with glasses ran in front of him, he looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice.
"Look at the ground." He didn't raise his beard and pointed to the ground.
The man with glasses and the babyface hurriedly looked down and saw several pairs of somewhat messy footprints disappearing into the mountain road along the dirt road outside the cave entrance, and according to the size of the footprints, it was obvious that they were three men and two women.
The man with glasses stared at it for a long time, but he didn't see any results, and said suspiciously: "Brother, do you know these five people?" ”
The beard glared at him angrily, but the baby face on the side squatted on the ground and looked very carefully, and from time to time his mouth made sounds like 'uh-huh, oh-ah'.
"You see that?" Beard asked.
Babyface nodded a little embarrassedly, pointing to the ground and detailing his findings.
Five people, one of whom wore a pair of sneakers with English letters printed on the soles, that brand of shoes can be said to be the dream of all young people, and it belongs to the top of the sports brand, with a minimum price of five figures per pair. This kind of shoes is generally placed in their own cupboard, and the fact that the owner of the shoe can wear this kind of place means that the family is very wealthy, and it is unlikely that a character with this kind of background will come to the abyss to adventure, unless he comes from a certain supernatural organization that has been passed down for many years, such as the Ghost Pavilion, Shallow Floating Mountain, etc.
There is also a person's shoes at a glance is the style of leather soles, walking a little collapsed, heavy toes and light heels, shoes are estimated not to be their own, so it is very ill-fitting, it should be encountered on the way to some danger, their shoes off.
The remaining man has the largest shoe size, about forty-five, and the sole is flat, this kind of shoe is very slippery on the wetland, not suitable for walking for a long time, but his footprints are very stable at every step, and his strength should be very strong, and he doesn't care if this is an abyss or not, and whether he will encounter danger.
The other two shoe prints were significantly smaller, one of them was the deepest of the five, the sole was harder, it should have been custom-made, and there were stones at the mouth of the cave that she had stepped on. This woman is either a big fat man of two or three hundred pounds, or she has been carrying heavy things for a long time, which may be her weapons and equipment.
"Of the five people, this pair of shoe prints looks the most normal, about thirty-six sizes, and it is also a pair of sneakers, which should be a young girl."
Babyface pointed to one of the pair of shoe prints, ending his first attempt at speculation after entering the abyss.
The bearded man looked at him several times in surprise, seemed to be very satisfied, and nodded: "Yes, the first time you practice, you can see so much information, it seems that what the master said is right, we will have to rely on you in the future." ”
The man with glasses was a little unhappy when he heard this, and pointed to the footprints and said a little unconvinced: "Isn't it the simplest tracking technique, what's there, here a big fist is the last word." ”
The baby-faced man smiled and found a step for the glasses man: "Yes, these little tricks are actually useless, in the final analysis, it depends on strength." ”
The beard snorted coldly, glared at the man with glasses, his expression suddenly became a little complicated, and he was silent for a long time before he said seriously: "We first started by tracking technology, but it has continued to this day, with the development of science and technology, it has been slowly abandoned, and the current criminal investigation methods are actually the epitome of our early years of writing the Zangmen." It's just a pity that the experience accumulated by the ancestors over the years is now useless. ”
His voice and expression were extremely depressed, and there was a sense of frustration that the general trend had gone and he was powerless.
Babyface suddenly straightened his body and said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I will never lose the craftsmanship of our ancestors." I will definitely not be able to catch up with Brother Sun Tong in my life, so I will honestly study what I am doing, and I have to count on you for other things. ”
Sun Tong looked stunned, but he was not stupid, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard that the baby face deliberately raised his position in the words.
"Okay, Tang Qi, I'm a cheap person, I know what kind of virtue I have, I'm not good at tracking, but if you get out of a fight in the future, just leave it to me."
"Okay." The babyface called Tang Qi responded with a smile, and then said to the beard: "Brother, what you just asked me to see should be more than just these five footprints, right?" ”
The beard came back from his stunned stupor, wrinkled his brows and said, "Oh? What else do you see? Let's hear it. ”
Tang Qi didn't twist either, pointed to the ground and said, "This pair of footprints looks the most normal, but in fact they are the most abnormal." ”
Beard's eyes lit up and motioned for him to continue.
"When it rained just now, the wind blew from behind the mountain, and the top of this cave was convex, so it can be judged that there is no rain in our current position, and the ground is only slightly wet, so the footprints are relatively clear, and the footprints in other places can only see a general outline, I think the five of them should have left when the rain was about to stop."
"Yes, I've noticed that, but what else?"
"And ......"
Tang Qi stared at the pair of thirty-six-yard sneaker prints, and after a long while, he asked an irrelevant sentence.
"Brother, is it possible that that legend is true?"
