Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Strange Woods
Entering the valley, Lin Xi found that the visibility inside was only about two meters, and there seemed to be magnetic field interference inside, the compass could not play a role at all, the electronic instruments brought in were also out of order, and the communication equipment had no signal, let alone what GPS was used.
It can be said that there is really no way to discern the direction here.
Professor Liu had to instruct everyone to move slowly and in a straight line, check the direction of walking every five minutes, and always pay attention to the road under their feet and the surrounding environment.
Because Professor Liu and Professor Bai have field archaeological experience among the six people, these two people took the lead, with Professor Bai in front and Professor Liu in the back.
Liu Xin naturally followed behind Professor Liu, and Lin Xi, as a protector, also followed behind Liu Xin. After Chen Lin and Hu Yuecheng broke off, Hu Yuecheng followed behind.
The group walked forward cautiously, but fortunately, with a visibility of about two meters, the six people could still see each other, otherwise they would not be able to see the fear of their companions. In this way, stumbling and stopping, we went straight for about two hours, and we reached a grove of deciduous broad-leaved forests and coniferous forests, which were still verdant in October.
But strangely, the rumor that the canyon is full of fog seems to be just a rumor, because from this forest, the fog has disappeared, but there is still nothing to be seen as far as the eye can see, as if the whole world is left with this forest.
Because there was no fog, everyone untied the ropes and walked together, walking towards the woods.
The woods were quiet, no insects, no birds, no beasts, except for the fluttering of leaves when the wind blew through the trees, there was not a single sound, it was a quiet with a dead air of vitality.
There was always a sense of uneasiness in this quietness, which grew wider and more with the slight sounds of the crowd as they walked, but the six of them could not find out where this uneasiness came from.
Lin Xi thought, this is really weird, how can a place with lush vegetation not have a single animal? But even if you can't figure it out, this is the case, there is not even a single bird in the sky above the woods, and there is no trace of the beast in the slightest, so it is certain that there is no threat of beasts in this wood.
And this situation is even more disturbing.
There are no beasts, one is that this forest is not a suitable environment for them to live, and the other is that there are more dangerous things in the woods than beasts.
Looking at the surroundings, the first one is obviously impossible, then the second one.
So, what's in the woods? What is it that makes even beasts feel dangerous and reluctant to move? Unknown creature or unknown power?
Everyone vaguely felt that this was very likely to have something to do with the legend of the small country and the mysterious box, and they couldn't help but dissipate some uneasiness and become nervous and excited, especially the two professors.
Because after all, no matter what they find, the two of them can be said to be the first. couldn't help but glance at each other, secretly quickened their pace, and the rest of the people quickly followed.
The forest was very large, and although I could see things after walking in, it was still easy to get lost, so Professor Liu led the way to the north according to the canopy.
Since the six of them entered the canyon from the south side of Rift Sky Mountain, it is assumed that the end of the map is in the middle, so everyone has been heading north.
