As soon as I finished speaking, Li Lili immediately glared at me angrily, and the old cannon and the old gray echoed loudly. Ah Mei leaned in my ear and said, "Tell me honestly, what the hell are you trying to do?" ”

I said softly, "There are people in this world who think they can do anything. I'm just giving people an opportunity to understand how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. ”

Ah Mei said, "They won't be bad, right?" ”

I said, "You can rest assured. These two people couldn't even see the face of the archmage. Who are you the archmage who can see you if you want to? ”

Ah Mei said, "You are too bad, this is public revenge." ”

After Najie came out of the forest, all the members of the expedition team had already packed their bags and were preparing to follow him. Najie packed up his things, covered the fire that had long been extinguished with dirt, and then led everyone on the road.

Along the way, Najie just walked in front with his head down, without saying a word.

Since what happened in the morning was witnessed by everyone, almost everyone in the team was still nervous. Although the morning events have subsided for the time being, everyone knows that this is not the end of the matter. Everyone walked indifferently, not knowing what kind of ending awaited everyone.

After passing through a forest, there is a small canyon. Walking out of the canyon, the people in the expedition team felt a little tired, and some people suggested taking a break and eating some dry food to replenish their physical strength by the way.

During the break, everyone noticed that there was one person missing. Kuroko is gone. Under inquiry, Huangfu said that he saw a sunspot when he turned the corner just now, and the sunspot said that it would be convenient, and then he caught up. Since the resting place was only two or three hundred meters away from the place where Huangfu last saw the sunspot, everyone didn't care, and found a place to sit down and eat dry food.

Until everyone finished eating dry food and felt that they had almost rested, the sunspots had not yet appeared. The first thing that feels inappropriate is Ruoyu, after all, Kuroko is her assistant, so she will naturally pay more attention. She asked everyone to stop for a moment and asked Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao to go back and find out what was going on.

Najie looked up at the sky and asked everyone to move faster, because there was too much delay along the way, and if it was delayed, it would not be possible to catch up with it today.

Ruoyu thinks that safety comes first, and it is important to find the sunspot first. As long as nothing happens, it's a big deal that everyone camps for another night, and it doesn't matter if you arrive at your destination a day late.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xiao soon returned, saying that they had been finding the canyon and had not seen the sunspot. Only then did everyone realize that something might have happened. Ruoyu found the emperor and carefully asked him about the last time he and Kuroko met. Huangfu said that he was walking at the back when he saw Kuroko, who was walking a little ahead, stop. He asked Kuroko why he didn't leave? Kuroko said to make it easier and let him go first. Kuroko said that he would catch up in a while. Huangfu said that this was the situation at that time.

When Najie heard this, his face changed, and he said that there was a very dangerous forest on the side, and they would not dare to enter that place easily. If an outsider falls in, it will be difficult to get out. If this sunspot gets into that forest alone, it's going to be a big problem.

Najie's words made everyone listen to them, and their hearts were lifted. Everyone walked back to the place where the emperor said that they had last seen Kuroko, and shouted Kuroko's name loudly one by one.

In the valley, everyone's shouts came and went, but there was no response from Kuroko.

Soon, Najie found Kuroko's backpack. Kuroko's backpack was placed squarely on a rock behind a bush at the edge of the forest, and it looked like Kuroko had put it himself. There were several footprints on the ground leading to the forest, but the forest was covered with thick moss, and Kuroko's footprints had lost their traces.

Najie stopped the people who were about to enter the forest and said, "You don't know what is going on inside, so breaking in like this will only make more people fall in and not be able to get out." ”

After discussion, most of the members of the investigation team stayed outside, and Na Jie, Li Lili, Lao Pao, and I were divided into two groups to search in the advanced forest. Najie took Li Lili in a group, and Lao Pao and I in a group. When I entered the forest, Ah Mei insisted on going with me. I said, "There's danger inside, just wait outside!" Ah Mei said, "It's because of danger that I must be with you." I don't want to go through that kind of worry. ”

I was very moved to see Ah Mei's determined look. We left our backpacks outside the forest, stuffed only a few compressed biscuits in our pockets, each carried a water bottle, and then each of us took a light just in case. I took a compass, carried a machete, and walked in front, Ah Mei followed behind me, and the old cannon walked at the end with a bundle of climbing ropes on his back.

The forest was eerie, and there was not a single sound. The ground was thick with moss, mixed with countless colorful mushrooms of all sizes. The trees in the forest grow almost identical, making it difficult to orient themselves in them. I took out my compass and tried to determine the location first. But the compass loses its role here. I could only let the old cannon start to put up the climbing line from the last place where we could see the exit of the forest, which served as a signpost to lead us back.

We're searching all the way. Ah Mei and I walked in front, and the old cannon put a rope in the back, speechless all the way. Fortunately, the forest is very flat, so it is not difficult to walk. After walking for a while, we didn't notice any traces of anyone left. I stopped, I felt that Kuroko couldn't have gone too far alone in a place like this. Unless there is some animal or something to drive it. And along the way, there were no traces of animals. This is enough to prove that Kuroko has never been to this area at all. We should stop moving forward and look in another direction. I was about to tell my sister what I thought, when something hit me on the back. I instinctively turned around, pulled Ah Mei behind me, and said, "Be careful! ”

I opened my mouth and was suddenly surprised to find that I couldn't hear my own voice. I turned my head to look at Ah Mei, and saw that Ah Mei's mouth was moving rapidly, but there was no sound. From the stunned expression on her face and the direction of her fingers, I noticed that it was a dead branch that had just struck me, and the old cannon a few meters away looked frightened, and was opening his mouth wide as if he was trying to shout. But I couldn't hear a sound. But from the old gun's demeanor, I knew that something must have happened to him, and the dead branch that hit me just now was the old gunner's cry for help in a hurry.

I took Ah Mei in one hand and threw myself towards the old cannon. I saw that the old cannon was leaning against a big tree with his back, and his legs had been entangled in a moss-like vine, and these vines were slowly wrapping around the old cannon's waist.
