Parting is always painful, but there is nothing to be done.

Waving goodbye to Tucker and the others, the four of them still headed in the direction of sunset.

Eating and sleeping in the open, hard work, not full of joy, sightseeing trip.

The giant rat was wounded and let Tucker take it away.

Given the walk, stop, stop, and go, the situation did not improve until it was close to the destination.

The map he held turned over and over again, and he was already familiar with it.

Just climb a few hills to reach your destination, and I feel a little happy.

Step into a wooded field.

In fact, it cannot be called a forest, because due to the harsh environment, most of the trees have long since withered.

The departure of fallen leaves is the sorrow of the trees.

The bare trunk of the tree stands abruptly.

Overgrown with weeds, most of them grow on trees.

The grass was piled up like a tomb.

Mark noticed that weeds could faintly show the remains of some animals' feces.

This is not to investigate the environment, and naturally it is not to study what kind of animal feces are drowned.

However, through the study of feces, it is possible to distinguish the food structure of these animals and their physical condition.

(Obviously, this negligence led to the neglect of guarding against the awesomeness of these animals, and then added a lot of suffering, but that's for later.) ）

After entering the jungle, the heavens kept shaking their faces, so that the depths of the jungle were extremely gloomy.

The black, crooked branches, like ghosts in the depths of the darkness, twist their bodies and leap out at any time.

The trunk of the tree was covered with inexplicable strains and spots, like a leper covered in scabies, hideous and terrifying.

The deeper you go, the occasional sight of the remains of some corpses.

Most of the wreckage was decomposed and inedible.

The amount of information that can be provided is not much, just because it is a source of energy, and whatever can be used has long been consumed as food.

Losing Clark's team, extremely dull.

If he were in the party, he might have dressed up as a witch and used a tree branch as a broom to run around the jungle.

Occasionally jump out and scare others into laughter.

Obviously, none of the four had his sense of humor.

It's easy to get lost in the jungle, and the dead wood is roughly the same shape, so you can't tell whether it's growing towards the sun or facing north.

Although it can be identified by the wooden wheel, the mecha has a pointing device on it, so it can save more time.

The sky was getting overcast, and the valley was quiet and secluded.

Mark and his entourage slowed down and beware of the unexpected.

"Ho~ There is a sound of water running ahead." Hearing the murmuring of water ahead, Laurena was overjoyed.

"I'm going to check it out!" Without waiting for everyone to agree, Lorenna sped up and went to investigate.

The beauty-loving woman ** is clean, especially if she can't take a bath for half a month, the taste is really "ecstatic".

Sniffing his armpits, Mark was almost stinking with the smell of sweat.

How nice it would be to have a bathtub filled with warm water, be in the middle of a bubble pile, listen to soft music, and sip half a glass of red wine!

Obviously, in such an environment, it is absolutely wishful thinking.

Even if you think about it, it's good.

This strange thought made Mark smile slightly.

Valen did not say hello, and followed in the footsteps of the princess and went to take care of it.

It is indeed not safe for a girl to go alone.

It was getting late, and the team stopped advancing.

After finding a high ground and vacating the site, the two prepare to camp.

Wait for Valen and Laurena to return.

"I'm going to get some firewood and scout around." Wang Qiang packed his bags, put on his knives, and prepared to go.

"Well, be careful! Notify you if there is a situation. Mark admonished.

Trees are precious, even though they have become dead wood.

Preserve this only property as much as possible or leave it to future generations, so Wang Qiang does not cut down the trunk of the tree behind him, but picks up the dead branches.

After setting up the tent, Mark dug a pit where he could make a fire and piled stones around it to avoid starting a fire.

There was a rustling sound in the distance, which startled Mark.

When I looked up, I saw a scarlet cloak, which was as good as fire.

Lorenna rushed to the scene and cheered:

"Great! There is a small stream in front where you can get water for drinking. "Eyes wandering, bright eyes and bright teeth.

Valen followed, holding his weapon, looking left and right, looking on alert at all times.

After returning to the camp, he dismantled his defenses.

Set up a fire, and everyone enjoyed the comfort brought by the firelight.

After dinner (in fact, just a little food, just a good stomach), snuggle up to the fire, and look at the flames.

The firewood burns branches, makes a "beep" popping sound, and sparks splash everywhere.

Wang Qiangxiang sat by the fire, silent, bowed his head and played with a piece of tree branches, and scratched on the ground alone.

Feeling that everyone was dull and boring, Laurena said loudly, "I'm going to be alone for a while." ”

After saying that, get up and leave.

The meaning is very simple, in this way to warn the three of them not to follow her closely.

Mark and Wang Qiang both understood what she meant, and they were busy with their own things.

Perhaps out of loyalty, he still wanted to protect her.

Valen pretended to be deaf.

Got up and followed, and was held down by Mark.

"What are you doing?" Glaring at him, he was about to have a seizure.

"Women have their own difficulties. Is it possible that everything must be followed? ”

"Oh!" Hearing the overtones, he shouted in the direction that Lorena had walked out, "Princess, don't go too far!" ”

It's a pity that Lorenna deliberately avoided it and didn't respond.

"Mark!"

Wang Qiang's painting had already been completed, and he looked at himself and asked bluntly: "What do you think this symbol represents?" ”

When I looked over, I saw that the symbols he drew were a little familiar, but I couldn't remember them for a while, so I had to shake my head: "I've seen it, but I can't say what it means." ”

Uninterested in the topic the two were discussing, Valen rubbed his hands together and paced back and forth, occasionally looking in the direction of Lorenna's departure.

The two studied for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason.

"Strong, why did you suddenly draw such a strange symbol?"

A trace of confusion flashed in his black eyes, and he immediately regained his former calm, Wang Qiang opened his mouth and said: "These are not my imaginations out of thin air, when I was just collecting firewood, I found that some tree poles were engraved with this mark. ”

After studying the symbols again, I couldn't think of any meaning, so I could only bow my head and think about it.

Wang Qiang was silent, constantly fiddling with the branches in his hands.

Their heads raced, racking their brains to figure out what the symbols meant.

For the discussion between the two, Valen was absent-minded.

This is not what he cares about, so he naturally sits still and looks into the distance from time to time.

"Goo~"

Maybe the food is uncomfortable today, so that the stomach is like a river and a sea, and it is gurgling.

Holding down his abdomen, a colic pain hit him, and a cold sweat broke out.

"Cut~ Human beings are delicate, and if the food is slightly uncomfortable, it will be difficult to digest." Hearing the protest in Mark's belly, Valen's face was full of disdain.

Covering his lower abdomen, he couldn't argue, and rushed out.

Just looking for a hidden place, so that you can spend thousands of miles.

He walked along, ran in small steps, and after making sure that the location was good, he squatted down......

After a period of "uproar", the whole person suddenly felt relaxed.

The feeling of refreshment penetrates deep into the bone marrow and reaches the tail vertebrae, which is a relief.

"Appeal ......"

With a long sigh, Mark shook his head and secretly praised, what a fucking comfort!

Then, slowly get up, and after fiddling clean, you have to turn around.

Suddenly, I heard the murmuring of the stream ahead......

The night is as cool as water, and the moon is in the sky.

In a bay stream, a white body, naked, facing himself.

Make a bowl with your hand, pick up a handful of clear springs, like a sweet rain, and pour it down.

The hair is like a waterfall, swaying lightly with the body.

The stream was like a rain, meandering down from its high forehead.

With his eyes closed, the spring flows down his lips to his neck, and after sweeping his collarbone, it forms a trickle on his chest, sticking to his waist and his long white legs, converging in the stream.

The moonlight is bright, and the light is reflected on the torso.

The limbs are well-proportioned and graceful, like a Venus, and cannot be desecrated.

At present, it is difficult for Mark to move.

After a long conflict, he bit his lip and was about to leave.

"Smack!"

Broken branches under your feet!

"Who?"
