After a bottle of strange beast blood arrived, in the next few days, Ye Qingyi and the others could not find any trace of the two elders. It seems that from that day on, the two elders deliberately avoided them. The Strange Beast Forest is vast, and no matter how much they search, there are always only a limited number of places they can find. Besides, the elders' feet are much better than they are.

After a few days of finding nothing, Ye Qingyi immediately said: "Let's search in groups." Work in pairs and divide into groups of ten. Remember to leave a swastika where you searched. If you encounter danger, first look for someone close to you to deal with it. If you find the whereabouts of the elders, don't startle them, send one person to keep an eye on them, and the other person will report the news. ”

The crowd nodded and scattered. Ye Qingyi and Mu Zhenyan were in a group, she did not blindly search in the jungle, but took out a sheepskin map. beckoned Mu Zhenyan to come over and take a look, "Senior brother, do you remember what locations we searched for in the past few days?" ”

Mu Zhenyan stepped forward to look at the map, he pondered for a while, and said, "In the territory of the Giant Toucan Eagle in the south, the two elders will definitely not retreat. We searched both paths in the southeast and found no traces. But the fork in the road where the two paths converge has not yet been searched. and the southwest of the three major roads have all been searched. ”

"It's a little weird. The location of the cave to the south, where we first found the two elders, is approaching the southern end of the map. There is no road ahead. If the two elders were to go, the southeast and southwest directions would definitely be the closest. But we didn't find any traces in these two directions, could it be that we still have to search the fork in the road in the southeast? Ye Qingyi frowned slightly, and there was a strange but indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Possibly. Let's take a look. Being said by Ye Qingyi, Mu Zhenyan also felt that something was wrong.

The two walked towards the fork in the road in a southeasterly direction. The forks lead to three trails. From the outside, the three trails are almost identical, and there is no difference between them. Ye Qingyi chose one at random and walked inside. After walking less than one or two hundred meters, Ye Qingyi suddenly stopped, "Senior brother, look at the ground." ”

On the ground, messy footprints are intertwined. The footprints are large and sink deep into them. Not like the footprints of children of their age, but of adults. Strangely, in the intricate pile of footprints, Ye Qingyi's sharp eyes found traces of blood that had not yet dried up.

"It's... Bloodstain? Mu Zhenyan's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked at Ye Qingyi. Ye Qingyi nodded at him.

Both of their faces became solemn, and there was no guarantee that anyone else would come in the Strange Beast Forest except them. But judging from the bloodstains, the road in front of them must have been passed by injured people!

But what exactly was it that hurt me?

Mu Zhenyan subconsciously pulled Ye Qingyi's arm and protected her behind him. Ye Qingyi raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, his heart was warm, and he suddenly felt that Mu Zhenyan's back was tough and good-looking. She touched her chin, and then thought of teasing her, who was always calm and calm.

So, Ye Qingyi stepped forward and took Mu Zhenyan's hand.

Mu Zhenyan was stunned at first, and when he was sure that Ye Qingyi took the initiative to hold his hand, he slowly turned red from his neck to the tip of his ears. But he didn't shake off Ye Qingyi, nor did he speak.

It was Ye Qingyi who discovered the change in Mu Zhenyan almost instantly. Her eyes widened in surprise, and then she laughed out loud.

Her senior brother, it can't be so shy! In the past, Mu Zhenyan was very comfortable touching her head and hugging her, but I didn't expect that this time she took the initiative to hold hands and her face could be so red.
