Chapter 34: Xiaobai's whereabouts

The light in the depths of the woods was very dark, the moonlight was blocked by layers of leaves, and a gust of wind blew, and the faint moonlight shone sparsely on the ground in the woods.

The ground was a mess and covered in blood, and it seemed that a brutal battle had been fought here. The thousand paper cranes folded into the tracer talisman fell in a pool of blood, already soaked in blood.

I watched the thousand paper cranes tremble slightly, as if they were trying to flap their wings and fly, but in the end they weakly drooped their wings, were stained by blood, and became a piece of waste paper.

It seems that the tracer will fall to the ground just now, not because it is invalid, it is just continuing to track Tian Xin's breath. According to my calculations, Tian Xin may have fallen to the ground at one point, and it is very likely that he was seriously injured.

But now that the tracer has been contaminated, it's really ruined. I was depressed, I couldn't have concentrated on making another tracer in this damn place.

After carefully observing the situation around him, it was obvious that Tian Xin was no longer around. It's badly damaged, and it's hard to find any useful clues.

In desperation, I took out the compass from my arms and used the compass to probe the fluctuations of yin qi, which could roughly determine the direction in which Tian Xin left.

But I don't dare to hope too much about the efficacy of the compass, this compass is just a miniature version I made for easy portability, and it is not very powerful.

Moreover, the compass can determine the general direction according to the fluctuations of yin qi at most, and it is impossible to accurately trace Tian Xin's traces, and if I want to determine the path of Tian Xin's departure, I still need to rely on experience to judge.

As soon as the compass was taken out, the pointer on it was turning wildly, which represented the nearby Yin Qi fluctuation disorder. I kept changing directions, adjusting carefully for a few moments before the hands finally stabilized.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and after some tossing, I finally caught the yin qi fluctuations on Tian Xin's body, and basically determined the direction in which she left.

Chasing in the direction of the fluctuations of the residual yin qi, the pointer changes slightly every few meters, and I had to carefully observe the compass and modify my direction at any time.

I was so anxious that I used the compass to slow me down considerably. I walked only a little more than 100 meters, and it took me nearly ten minutes.

As I was about to walk out of the grove, I saw another pool of blood. The compass's hands were turning irregularly again, and I couldn't help but frown, trying to adjust my position to stabilize the compass's hands.

Finding the right direction again, my heart hung in the air. In the direction in which the Yin Qi fluctuations gradually dissipated, a line of bloodstained footprints was left on the ground.

Judging from the size and direction of the footprints, there is a good chance that these footprints were left by Tian Xin, what happened to Tian Xin, and how serious was the injury?

Having a footprint guide saves me a lot of trouble, at least I don't have to look at the needle of the compass at any time to adjust my direction. As long as I followed the footprints, the compass needle didn't change much, which proved that I was looking in the right direction.

But after a few more minutes, I began to feel that something was wrong. I seemed to have come full circle, and I was back in the grove again.

And after walking for so long, the footprints on the ground are still very clear, and there is no tendency to fade. If the blood stains on these footprints were all Tian Xin's blood, it is estimated that her blood would have dried up long ago.

"That's right, I did go back to the grove just now, but it's a bit far from where the blood was first found." After observing my surroundings, I muttered to myself.

The light in the woods was dim, and the breeze was blowing from time to time, and the sound of the shadows and leaves swaying made me feel like the trees and plants were all in the woods, and the whole forest looked particularly eerie.

When the wind blew, the smell of blood filled my nose and made me feel sick. In the dim woods, the footprints were not easy to distinguish, and I almost followed the bloody footprints with my sense of smell.

Suddenly, I stepped on something and almost fell like a. I tried to keep my balance and not let the compass fall to the ground.

Looking down, I seemed to have stepped on a round stone, and when I stepped on it, my foot slipped, and the stone rolled on the ground a few times.

Another gust of wind blew, the branches above the head swayed slightly, and a ray of moonlight swept across the "stone". After seeing the true face of the stone, I suddenly shivered all over my body, and I couldn't help but shiver.

That's a stone, it's clearly a bloody head!

"Damn, I'm scared to death!" I let out a strange cry and took a few steps back.

But something behind me tripped me up, and when I stabilized myself, I found that it was a headless corpse covered in shocking scars.

My heart was pounding, my throat was a little dry, and I was struggling to swallow and spat at the mouth. It's one thing to see a corpse, it's another to be afraid.

After a general observation, the body was supposed to be a male corpse, and the deceased was tall and muscular. But the corpse bleed very little, and the blood stains were not even as much as on Tian Xin's footprints.

Investigating the identity of the deceased is a matter for the police, and my top priority is to find Tian Xin. I didn't dare to linger here, so I stubbornly continued to walk along the trail of blood.

After walking a few steps, I saw another corpse, this corpse was also a male corpse, relatively well preserved, and there was no tragic appearance of a different head.

The body of this male corpse was not very tall, but it was not small, and the deceased must have been a strong man when he was alive. Why did these people die here, could it be that they died at the hands of Tian Xin?

Tian Xin doesn't have the ability to kill, but after being manipulated by resentful spirits, she can no longer be regarded as a normal person, and her strength is not good, I almost died in her hands last night.

The further I went, the more frightened I became, and every few meters I found a male corpse on the ground. The corpses of these men died in different ways, but the only thing they had in common was that they were relatively muscular in size.

My scalp is numb, how can there be so many men in this wilderness where there is no village and no store? They died so strangely that I had to be cautious.

After walking more than ten meters, one of the corpses on the ground suddenly reached out and grabbed my ankle. I was so startled that the compass in my hand almost fell to the ground.

Is there still a living mouth? Looking down, the corpse's skull was clearly deflated, and the person was completely dead, and it was impossible for him to survive.

I gritted my teeth and kicked the corpse a few times before the corpse slowly let go of its hand and finally fell silent.

After relieving myself, I hurriedly held the compass and followed the bloody footprints on the ground and ran forward, this is really not a place to stay for a long time, and the woods are full of strangeness.

Now I have a deep feeling of depression and feel a little out of breath. If a person has been in this gloomy and oppressive environment for a long time, his heart will not be able to bear it, and sooner or later he will collapse.

Following the bloody footprints, I walked out of the grove again. But at this moment, I suddenly realized that the situation was very wrong, and after a few turns of the needle on the compass, it showed that Tian Xin's Yin Qi was fluctuating in the other direction.

Looking down at the incomparably clear bloody footprints on the ground, I was stunned, why did Tian Xin's Yin Qi Yin Qi fluctuations and blood footprints go in different directions?

This is the situation I am most worried about, I am only one person, and I can't go our separate ways when I encounter a fork in the road. If you take the wrong road, you will definitely lose time and won't be able to catch up with Tian Xin.

"The bloody footprints should have been left by Tian Xin, the yin qi fluctuations in this vicinity are too disordered, it is better to follow the bloody footprints first." After a little hesitation, I made my decision.

Now, no matter which direction you pursue, there is a half chance that you will go the wrong way. The efficiency of using the compass is too slow, and if the blood footprints are in the wrong direction, I can still change the direction in time.

A few minutes later, the worst happened, the bloody footprints were gone! This place may be four or five hundred meters away from the grove just now, and the bloody footprints spread here and then disappear into thin air.

"Damn, what about me?" I cursed and patted my head.

I have to admit that it was my mistake. After taking out the compass, the pointer on it didn't react, and no matter how I debugged it, I couldn't catch Tian Xin's yin qi fluctuations.

It's useless to regret, I can only go back the same way in embarrassment, at this time I just want to run faster, run faster, and hope that there will be a chance to catch up with Tian Xin.

The yin qi fluctuations in the air can't be maintained for too long, and I'm worried that after a long delay, I will completely lose Tian Xin's trace. Thinking of Qin Xue's previous warning, my heart became more and more anxious.

"Fanzi, you're here!" I had just run a few steps when I suddenly heard a voice that was all too familiar to me.

I was shocked, and I unconsciously stopped, glanced at the place where the sound came from, and I stood there in a daze.

In the night, I saw Xiaobai slowly approaching me. He smelled of blood on his body, and his whole body looked embarrassed, and he staggered when he walked.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come?" Xiaobai stretched out his hand to me, with a hint of tiredness in his voice.

Seeing him like this, I wanted to rush up and help him. But after noticing his breath, I soured my nose and gritted my teeth and took a few steps back.

There was also a strong death aura on his body, which was the same as the aura emanating from the corpses he had just encountered. Xiaobai is dead, he is dead!

"Xiaobai, how did you become like this? Who hurt you? My voice choked and I yelled at him.

Xiaobai's mouth was cracked, and I could barely see his facial features in the faint moonlight, only a pair of white teeth.

"Nonsense, who else could it be? If you hadn't thrown me in the crematorium's morgue, would I have become like this? Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

My whole body felt like I had been struck by lightning, and my brain became a pile of mush. The reason why Xiaobai became like this, am I the culprit?

From the beginning, I was reluctant to let Xiaobai get involved in this matter, because I was afraid that I would hurt him. Life is really cruel, and it really comes to what I am most afraid of.

It was Lao Hu before, and now it's Xiaobai, who else will it be? I clenched my fists, trying to resist the urge to cry.

To tell you the truth, I'd rather die than my friends being dragged down by me one by one and ending up in a tragic death.

"Why is this happening? Why ......" I took a deep breath, hot tears sliding down the corners of my eyes.

Xiaobai got closer and closer, and kept stretching out his hand to me, not knowing whether he wanted me to help him, or if he wanted to grab me and let me die with him.

"Xiaobai, it's me who can't stand you!" I choked up and stepped back again.

In my heart, Xiaobai is definitely more important than Tian Xin, but he is dead now, and I can't be stopped by him and delay rescuing Tian Xin.
