When the professor noticed what was hidden under the banyan tree, he went straight to the bottom of the tree like a demon, and Anne had no choice but to follow the professor. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Kansa and Stern behind couldn't react for a while, but they also followed closely behind, and then slowly they also walked into this root maze, at first everyone went well, Anne and Stern are very experienced in this naturally formed root maze, and they have not lost their direction at all. The four of them naturally divided into a group of Professor Anne, who used a compass to determine the direction from the roots of the tree, followed by Kansa and Stern.

Kansa himself felt that he was encroaching on the territory of the tree god, and kept chanting strange spells with his hands folded all the way, and tried to stumble along the way without touching the roots of the tree.

Stern saw that he could no longer act like the usual master of the jungle, so he followed him closely, pulling him by the hand from time to time to prevent him from getting separated.

Of course, in order to maintain everyone's safety, his eyes never left the two teammates in front of him, he has become accustomed to this pattern, and he is afraid of losing everyone.

At last, however, he noticed that there was one man missing—young Donnie, who, since the professor had been burrowing into the roots of the tree without saying a word, had only hurried out to Downey, and had not noticed him again since he heard his footsteps coming up. By the time he noticed that Donnie hadn't followed, he had been in the root maze for about half an hour.

Stern had always thought that Downey was the best person to control in this archaeological expedition team, because he was young, simple, and full of American adventurist ideals, but he still lacked a little training, so most of the time he followed the team and had no opinions.

And this kind of ordeal is exactly what Stern does not lack, he has experienced too much. He only hoped that everyone in the team would not have any accidents, but now it has backfired - Donnie is gone! Without hesitation, he loudly called out to the professor in front of him, saying that Donnie had fallen behind.

The professor, who had been walking in front, heard the sergeant calling him, and finally stopped, sweating profusely and panting, and Anne on the side also stopped and noticed his strangeness: "Professor, what happened to you just now?" I feel like there's something wrong with you. Did you just see something? ”

The professor had a look like he had just woken up from a dream, and his eyes wandered and he said to Anne, "I...... I do not know...... Why, I felt that there was a boulder we were looking for under the banyan tree, and then I couldn't help but go in the direction of the banyan tree, but I found that the closer I got to the banyan tree, the more I couldn't control my consciousness, as if I was being manipulated by something...... I couldn't stop until I heard Stern's voice that I felt the invisible force leave me! ”

"What's going on? Could it be that this big banyan tree is really a tree god? The professor looked at Anne as he said this, as if he had begun to doubt his own judgment.

Anne didn't notice the banyan tree when she was on the ground, and when the professor suddenly stood up and walked forward, she just followed closely behind, thinking that he had discovered something, but she didn't expect it to be such a strange situation.

So he comforted him: "That's not necessarily, maybe you are too obsessed with finding the clues of that ancient road this time, so you have lost your mind a little." But leave it alone, Stern says Donnie is behind and we have to go back and find him first. ”

"Ah...... What the? Downey is gone? The professor reacted.

"Yes, Stern said we didn't notice him while you kept walking towards the banyan tree, and it wasn't until Stern realized that Donnie wasn't following him."

With that, Professor Morrill walked back to Sergeant Stern and asked him what was the matter.

Stern also replied with a blank face: "I don't know this very well, Donnie was behind us before entering the Air Roots Labyrinth." I hurriedly called him when I noticed that you were suddenly walking towards the banyan tree, and I didn't notice him since I made sure he had followed. ”

"Can you be sure when he got separated from us?" The professor continued.

"The only thing I'm sure of is that when I followed you after I worshipped the sacred tree in Kansa, I found that Donnie hadn't followed. It's very likely that they fell behind in the root maze and got separated from us. So what's the matter with you, Professor, and why are you so in such a hurry to move forward? ”

"I'll tell you later, the most important thing now is to find Donnie."

Then the professor looked around, and realized that this place could indeed get lost like an irregular labyrinth if he was a little inattentive.

They walked back and called Donnie's name in an attempt to get a response, but there was silence throughout the labyrinth, except for the occasional birdsong from the treetops. Stern looked at the current watch and said that it was about 10 o'clock when they came across the banyan tree, which means that Donnie might have been lost with them in about two hours.

I shouted for half an hour while looking for it, and there was still no news from Donnie. The professor felt that such a blind search was not a solution, and that he had to find a way to find out where Downey might have gotten lost.

The professor knew that Downey was not one to wait for rescue, presumably looking for them himself, or finding another way. So Stern came up with a way to let the professor and Anne go directly to the main trunk of the banyan tree to wait for Downey first, and he and Kansa went back to find someone, and if Downey was not on the periphery of the maze, he would find the professor to meet.

Both the professor and Anne agreed, so Stern and Kansa ground roots went back to the periphery of the maze, searched several times, and found no trace of Donnie, so they had to return to the root maze again, hoping to find some clues. At this moment, Stern found the arrow mark and the knot made by Donnie, and he judged that Downey had left it, so he quickly followed the marker all the way, only to find that after a long detour, the arrow mark was gone......

Stern wondered what was going on, could it be that something had happened?

Just as he was in front of the arrow, Kansa suddenly tugged at his arm and whispered to Stern in a trembling voice, saying that there seemed to be someone behind him......
