4. The Sacred Tree (I)
The scaly face appeared in everyone's dreams. After Yang Xiaoqi finished speaking, I immediately understood what he meant.
Is this a coincidence? I don't know, maybe there is something unknown behind us that has been doing something to us.
Thinking of this, I snapped my gaze at the flying mirror. He is a ghost hunter, the best of these people, and the one who knows the most about metaphysics among us. And he was tricked, and he showed the same unease as we did.
From this, it is conceivable that things are completely beyond our comprehension.
It was still dark, but there was still silence all around. The campfire was lit up a small area, and we didn't have the energy to make it any longer.
I looked at the crowd and said, "Isn't it just a dream?" Let's not think about it so much, let's discuss what to do next. ”。
After I finished speaking, I asked Ayumi to take out the map, which was drawn by Ayumi and Qi Yuying themselves according to the secret records on the ghost marks. How can the authenticity not be substantially verified, but for us there is nothing left.
According to the map show, we are still on the outskirts of Yinyang Island at this time. And that space-time turbulence is in the middle of this island, and we still have a long way to go.
Ayumi tells us about tomorrow's route. "It's densely wooded, and it's easy to get lost when the bushes block the view," she said. Let's light a cigarette ball tomorrow morning and try to see if we can get a response from Qi Yuying. If they can find out, we can say that they are already halfway there. ”。
Her meaning was clear, to bring the two teams together first. The rest will only be said at that time.
"They didn't respond, or they were all killed. That...... What are we going to do? Scar poured cold water on everyone.
Ayumi said: "I believe that with Qi Yuying's mind, it will not die so easily. However, what you say also makes sense, and we need to be prepared for both. She thought for a moment and continued, "So be it. Tomorrow we get up in the morning to light a fire and smoke balls, if no one responds before noon. Let's go first. ”。
"How do you set the direction? It's impossible for us to see this kind of place if we keep going around in circles. I asked.
Feijing patted me on the shoulder and said slowly, "Don't worry about this, as long as we leave marks along the way." Another way, we can climb the tree tomorrow to have a look, and find a larger object as a reference, which can also prevent us from taking a detour. ”,
When I fly the mirror, I get the person who is consistent with everyone. There's no way around it, it's better than walking with our heads bored. After saying some more specific details, everyone continued to rest.
There was no word that night.
The next day, I woke up just after dawn. Looking at the watch, I only rested for four hours, during which I didn't dream again, I rested very well, and I was much more energetic when I got up.
I found a remote place to distribute water, and when I returned to the group, the flying mirror had already started preparing the smoke balls.
The yellow plume of smoke from the smoke ball rose into the sky. It's a shame that there is no wind in the jungle, otherwise the smoke will be blown away.
Scar and I prepared breakfast. Half an hour later, everyone began to wake up one after another. During the meal, Ayumi finally said something that the team was likely to be watched. As I expected, no one felt the slightest hint of surprise, and everyone listened quietly to Ayumi's words.
"I'm sure everyone feels it, and our team has been watched by someone who can't see it," she said. There's nothing we can do about it because I don't think it's something we can deal with right now. I propose to pretend that I don't know anything about this for the time being, and wait until I meet up with Qi Yuying and the others. ”。
"Then why do you say it now?" I didn't answer the question.
"Quite simply, I woke up this morning to find that the feeling of being stared at was gone. I want to .......". Before she finished speaking, Yang Xiaoqi suddenly grabbed her shoulder, and we were all taken aback.
"Don't say anything, help me get that can." Ayumi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reflected.
We all know that Yang Xiaoqi's action is telling us that the invisible man has appeared again.
We stopped talking about the Invisible Man. Feijing changed the topic and asked us to look for a tree to find a reference after eating, and prepare for the second hand that Qi Yuying and they did not respond.
He gave this job to me and Yang Xiaoqi.
After eating, I rested for a while, but I discussed the highest point around with Yang Xiaoqi.
The trees here are actually not very tall, and the tallest ones are only a dozen meters, which does not expand our horizons very well.
Yang Xiaoqi pointed to a huge tree canopy in the distance and said, "You guys wait for me here, and Zhang Xin and I will go to that tree to have a look." ”。
The two of us had a compass, a walkie-talkie, binoculars, a rope, a safety buckle, a dagger pinned to our waists, and a medical bag on our backs, and he had a machete on the side to open the way. Then, he began to walk towards the huge canopy.
The tree was not far from our camp in a straight line, but because of the dense bushes, we sometimes had to walk around the road, and by the time we reached the foot of the tall canopy, it was already an hour before we had set out.
As I got closer, I realized how huge the tree was, and it was hard for me to estimate its height, let alone its species.
"What kind of tree is this? Will there be any danger?" I asked Yang Xiaoqi.
"Don't worry, my ability to climb trees is still very good. Wait a minute, you'll just wait down there, and I'll just go up myself. He said nonchalantly.
But I didn't think so in my heart, so I asked Yang Xiaoqi carefully: "Do you think this tree is a man-eating tree?" This head is almost fine."
He laughed and said I had watched too many movies.
Hearing him say this, I blushed and felt that my thoughts were a little ridiculous.
He moved his hands and feet and began to prepare to climb the tree. The tree is not difficult to climb, the trunk is full of vines, even people who can't climb trees can go up.
He wears cut-resistant gloves that protect his palms from vines and are no less dexterous than climbing gloves. It's also very cheap, thirty-eight dollars a pair in the hardware store.
Yang Xiaoqi nodded to me, hung a walkie-talkie and rope on his waist and began to climb towards it, he was very fast, and in less than ten minutes he had gone up to the bottom of the canopy.
I smoked a cigarette underneath and held the walkie-talkie in my hand, looking up at him from time to time. Soon, he stopped at a branch.
I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but I heard a sudden sound from the walkie-talkie in my hand.
"There's something in the tree, come up." Yang Xiaoqi's eager voice sounded over the walkie-talkie.
