Laura walked over to the fire and sat down, Whitman looked at her, and said, "You rest here for a while, and I'll go ahead and explore the way." ”

"Okay, stay safe." Laura nodded.

Whitman pulled the sleeve to load the bullet, nodded at Laura, and walked forward. It soon disappeared from Laura's sight.

Not long after he was gone, Laura heard a familiar voice.

"Laura!"

"Sue!"

Laura suddenly stood up excitedly, and when she turned her head, she saw Su Bai hurriedly walking over.

"Sue!"

The girl couldn't help but rush forward and threw herself into Su Bai's arms.

"Laura, it's okay. I'm here, it's fine. ”

Su Bai put his arm around Laura with one hand, and caressed the girl's back with the other, comforting softly.

Soon, the girl calmed down and got up from Su Bai's arms, her brown eyes staring at his face in a daze.

"It's okay Laura." Su Bai was comforted and asked, "What happened?" ”

Laura shook her head, her voice confused and confused: "I don't know. When I woke up, you, Sanmantha, and the man named Matthias were gone. I tried to go to you, but I was attacked by a wolf. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Su Bai's arm: "Su, I'm so scared!" Please don't leave me. ”

"I won't leave your Laura, don't worry. I will never leave you again. ”

Su Bai didn't expect that this short moment of separation would make this strong girl react so violently. It seems that the girl already sees him as an object of dependence in her heart, even more than she depends on Rose.

He didn't know if this change was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Alright, it's going to be okay Laura." Su Bai patiently calmed the girl's emotions, and her voice was soft, "Let's go and sit down over there." ”

He helped the girl towards the fire.

Laura kept holding his hand, as if fearing that he would suddenly disappear again.

After sitting down by the fire, Su Bai glanced at the three wolf corpses not far away and said, "Laura, what happened?" ”

"Where did you just go?" Laura asked nervously.

"I'll go back and get something." Su Bai explained, "Before I left, I told Sanmantha that I would be back soon. But our previous camp seems to have been visited by some kind of animal, and I haven't found anything useful. It was also getting late, so I rushed back immediately. What's going on here? ”

"I don't know, I don't know Sue." The girl shook her head, "Sanmantha and the man named Matthias were gone when I woke up, and I don't know where they went. ”

"Maybe they found something, so they went and looked at it first." Su Bai guessed, "Don't worry Laura, they are more familiar with this neighborhood than we do, especially Matthias, he should know very well which places are safe and dangerous nearby." ”

"I hope so." Laura could only nod, and then added, "By the way, Reyes and the others arrived just now, but now they are all going to find Sanmantha and them." Whitman and I stayed, but he also went ahead to find his way. ”

"Really? That couldn't be better. Su Bai looked surprised, "Since they are looking for it, then we don't have to worry." There are so many of them, they will definitely be able to find Sanmantha. ”

Laura hummed softly, then tried to stand up, "Let's go find Whitman now, and then go and meet Rose." ”

"Don't worry, Laura." Su Bai pressed the girl's shoulder to sit down, and persuaded her, "It's not early now, it's raining again, and there are wild wolves nearby." Let's rest here for the night now and wait until tomorrow morning before we leave. Maybe Dr. Whitman will be back in a moment. ”

Laura hesitated, but thought that Whitman had a gun in his hand and should be able to protect himself. Besides, the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, so he nodded: "Okay then." ”

Su Bai sat beside the girl for a while, then stood up and said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll see if the venison we brought before is still there." ”

They didn't bring anything with them when they set off, but they did bring food. Wrap some roasted venison in that piece of deerskin and bring it to your body.

"Found it."

He found the packet of venison on the bench made of wooden planks, and next to the venison lay a notebook.

"Looks like Sanmantha didn't take this with them when they left."

Sitting back by the fire with the venison and notebook, Su Bai glanced at the small pot of water burning on the fire, and poured the venison directly into it.

"Cooking a pot of venison soup should taste good, but there is no seasoning." Su Bai said with a smile, "But let's also return to nature, nutritious and healthy." ”

Laura next to her couldn't help laughing, and her mood relaxed a lot.

"By the way, I found this, it seems to have been left by Sanmantha."

Su Bai handed the notebook to Laura.

Curious, Laura opened it, closed the notebook after reading it, and said, "This is Sanmantha's diary, which contains descriptions of the Sun Queen and Yamatai, but I think it's completely different from what she imagined before. ”

"What's different?" Su Bai asked suspiciously.

The girl shook her head, put the notebook on the ground beside her, put her hands on her knees, rested her chin on her arms and looked at the flames in front of her, and said softly, "Sanmantha is of Toei descent, and seems to be a descendant of Queen Himiko. The story she told us before is a ...... that has been passed down in her family to this day."

"Descendants of the Queen?" Su Bai pretended to be surprised, "I really didn't expect that there would be a descendant of the queen in our expedition team looking for the traces left by Queen Himiko." If this is the site of the former Yamatai Empire, then haven't we come to Sanmantha's hometown? ”

Laura smiled lightly, and then said, "Actually, Sanmantha didn't take this story seriously, she always thought it was just a story. If we do find the evidence, then this story will become true history. ”

"That should be a good thing for Sanmantha." Su Bai shrugged, "Being able to prove the identity of my ancestor, and it is still so legendary." ”

"Maybe......" muttered Laura.

After snuggling up and resting for the night, the next morning, the sky cleared up unexpectedly.

"It seems that the climate in this place is really only sunny in the morning, and the rest of the time it is rainy." Su Bai sighed, turned his head to look at Laura, who was wearing the bomber jacket and carrying a bow and arrows beside him, and said with a smile, "Laura, are you ready?" We're leaving. ”

Laura nodded, "Let's go, Sue." ”

The two left the camp and walked up the stone steps into the woods ahead.

They hadn't gone far before they saw a stone lantern glowing orange with a candle flame not far away. Next to the stone lantern is a dilapidated wooden door, and behind it is a wooden bridge over a small river, or stream.
