Chen Ying lowered her voice and said, "General Lang deliberately emphasized that the sound of water is strange, which shows that you are very impressed by this matter, one of them. Second, you should have come to Devil Cry Ridge this time to be prepared, that is, there must be veterans among you who are used to finding your way in the wild. And as long as you are a veteran, you will definitely follow the water source to find a destination. Combining these two points, I can deduce that you are likely to have been led astray by the sound of water when you were looking for a water source. ”

Whether you're setting up camp or surviving in the wilderness, water is a top priority. Since King Kang's village is in this dense forest, it must be built near the water source, which is why Pei Shu and the others must find the source of the sound of water.

Lang Tingyu couldn't help but nod his head, and wanted to say something more, but Pei Shu opened his mouth first: "Go in." ”

Lang Tingyu immediately closed his mouth and led everyone towards the forest.

"Follow me." Ye Qing's voice came, right next to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying nodded, and suddenly asked, "Is your injury even worse?" ”

Along the way, Ye Qing never mentioned the issue of injury, and Chen Ying was inevitably a little worried.

"Okay." Ye Qingman replied indifferently.

Her complexion was no different from usual, and she couldn't see that she was injured, Pei Jiajun's wound medicine seemed to be quite effective.

Chen Ying pondered as she stepped into the forest.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the rain in the forest seems to be different from the outside, when it falls on the hat, it will make a wet and heavy "pop" sound, and the air is also sticky and greasy, which reminds Chen Ying of Huangmeitian in the south in his previous life.

The sound of the water is faint, as if it is in the east at one time, and it seems to be in the west at the same time, so that people can't hear the distance at all.

"It's weird." Chen Ying whispered to herself, and immediately raised her head and looked around.

At some point, a mist rose in the forest, and the dense woods were mixed with large shrubs, and the thick vines stretched across the ground, and the weeds were everywhere, and the view was obscured by the heavy greenery, and it was impossible to reach far.

She followed the group, and the further she went, the wetter the rain became, except for the rustling of the rain, the only sound of heavy breathing and the sound of boots sinking deep into the mud, and the fog seemed to be thicker than before.

"Is it the same in the morning?" Chen Ying asked, lifting the hat up, the rain flowing down the edge into the back of her neck, she thought that her clothes should have been damp.

Ye Qing walked aside silently, knowing that Chen Ying was not asking her this question.

Sure enough, a mellow voice then sounded: "It's the same." ”

Pei Shu replied, turning his head to look behind him.

The team walked a little loosely, and he couldn't see Lang Tingyu who was behind, but the other party's voice came from the fog, and it sounded like urging the backward people to go faster.

He turned around and continued to move forward, saying, "We will not take care of the water source this time, and we plan to go due north." If it still doesn't work, you have to ask the third master for help. ”

There was inevitably a bit of ridicule in his tone, but Chen Ying found that his expression was actually solemn.

"I probably won't be able to help much." Chen Ying said very self-knowingly.

She wasn't good at exploring the wilderness, and there were already a lot of traces left in the forest, such as a big tree with a red scarf tied to it. This shows that they have been to these places during the day.

"When you see the red scarf, you go elsewhere." Pei Shu said in a deep voice.

It is also common sense that you can't walk again where you have walked.

However, even if you change the direction in a new direction, you will always come across a tree that is almost the same after walking a short distance, some with sword marks on it, and some of it is not.

This does not bode well.

These markers, which must have been left by the expedition team during the day, have reappeared, suggesting that they are still circling around a certain place.

Chen Ying had a hunch that they should soon go back to their original path.

Half an hour later, her hunch came true.

Looking at the several big trees in front of him tied together with red scarves, Lang Tingyu pulled out his sword and thrust it into the ground: "Grass, this place is really weird!" ”

They had already walked out of the woods, and the view from the outside was very clear, and there was no fog at all. The fog seemed to be restrained by something invisible, and it only moved in the forest, but the outside of the forest was unaffected.

Chen Ying took out a water bladder from his waist, drank two sips of water, and then walked in front of Pei Shu, pointed to the woods in front of him and said, "The air in this forest is very humid, I guess there may be water underground." ”

Fog can only be formed under extremely high relative humidity, and Chen Ying's judgment is derived from this.

Pei Shu didn't speak.

He was also drinking water.

It's just that his posture of drinking water is much more bold than Chen Ying's, people don't drink water at all, but raise the water bladder and pour it directly into his mouth, which really makes Chen Ying see what a cow drink is.

After pouring the water, Pei Shu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and asked, "Did you see anything?" ”

Although he also had some luck before, he knew in his heart that half of the trip was going to run in vain, after all, they had turned around in the forest three times in the morning, and they all came back, and now it was a trip for nothing, so he regarded this as letting Chen Ying get familiar with the terrain.

Chen Ying was still looking at the woods, frowning and said, "The visibility inside is too low, and it's raining at the moment, so it's very difficult to identify the direction." ”

At this point, she retracted her gaze and made a suggestion to Pei Shu: "Check it when the weather is clear, it will definitely be better." ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Ye Qing suddenly interjected.

This sentence was said abruptly, and it came from the mouth of Ye Nuxia, who has never liked to say much, Chen Ying was quite surprised, Pei Shu seemed to be surprised, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Ye Qing looked up at the sky.

It seemed like she only did when she thought about it.

After looking at the sky for a while, she shook her head at Pei Shu: "I can't tell, guess." ”

Pei Shu had a choked expression on his face.

Chen Ying was thoughtful, turned her gaze to the woods in front of her again, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Ye Nuxia......"

"Ye Qing." The leaf-style phrase reappeared, signaling Chen Ying to call him by his name.

Chen Ying immediately understood, and said with kindness: "Ye Qing, do you want to say that this place looks like some kind of formation?" Or is it the kind of artificial trick that is set up to cover the eyes? ”

Pei Shu's face did not move, but his heart was sinking.

He had long felt that this forest was strange, if this was really a formation laid out by someone, he was afraid that it would be difficult to crack for a while, because they didn't bring anyone who knew Qimen Dunjia on this trip, and there were a lot of martial arts masters. But it is difficult for martial arts masters to play any role in such a maze.

Pei Shu's eyes drooped slightly, and his face became cold.

If he can't find out the truth about this other village, the task assigned by Emperor Yuan Jia will not be completed, and one of the purposes of his request to the Criminal Department will be frustrated.
