Unconsciously, Chen Yin had gone very deep into this strange forest.

To make matters worse, he has completely lost his sense of direction.

The surrounding vegetation is no less dense than the primeval forests on Earth. In such lush vegetation, many survival techniques have lost their effectiveness.

The canopy formed by the leaves completely obscures the sun. It was the time when the afternoon sun was at its strongest, but under this canopy, there was no direct sunlight at all. On this gloomy ground, only sparse weeds are desperately stretching their leaves to collect scattered sunlight.

But his hell is my heaven. Life here is so hard for the weeds that every time the sun rises, they have to start stocking up on carbohydrates that will last the night. But for fungi, it's a paradise. On the ground and on the trees, from time to time, you can see clusters of gorgeous mushrooms popping up.

Whenever he sees these fungi, Chen Yin will carefully avoid them. Nature's common sense tells us that the more showy the mushroom, the more poisonous it tends to be. When poisonous mushrooms clump into sheets, the concentration of their spores can also be incredibly high. Chen Yin didn't dare to bet on whether the spores of these mushrooms were poisonous or not, in case he inhaled enough lethal doses......

But comparatively speaking, the danger of mushrooms is nothing, because it is visible. What bothers Chen Yin is the danger that he can't see, such as the direction he has lost.

In this primeval forest, conventional methods of discerning directions have lost their purpose.

In fact, all the ways to find the direction are based on the sun. Determine the direction by identifying the different effects of different lighting times. For example, in elementary school nature classes, we will teach the density of tree canopies, the density of growth rings, and the moss on the shady side of stones. This typical way of discerning direction is, in the final analysis, dependent on the sun.

But in fact, except for stone moss, the other two methods have no use value.

Individual trees are very difficult to find in forests, and the branches of non-independent trees grow in a more space-free direction rather than a longer light direction.

Not to mention the annual ring method, Chen Yin did not bring a saw, and sawing may not be accurate, because the annual ring pattern of different heights is different.

The accuracy of observing mosses on stones is very high, because bryophytes cannot do without water, and only in places where there is no light on the shady side will the water not evaporate so quickly, and bryophytes can reproduce.

Having said that, Chen Yin couldn't find a stone at all! Not to mention the large moss-growing stones, not even the small ones!

The thick humus on the ground hides everything.

Chen Yin, who was forced to be helpless, even used the belt method to climb the canopy, and if he climbed up the branches, he would not be able to support Chen Yin's weight...... But even so, Chen Yin still can't directly observe the position of the sun. The canopy of the upper layer is so thick that the layers of leaves block all direct sunlight.

After coming down from the tree, Chen Yin gave up identifying the direction and prepared to follow his memory path back.

There were footprints on the ground, and there were broken branches and leaves in the bushes, Chen Yin thought that he should be able to find them, but he really thought highly of his wayfinding ability. Maybe it's just a meter off, maybe less, but no matter what, as he walked, Chen Yin suddenly found that he couldn't find any traces!

Ahead is a reckless primeval jungle, and so is the rear.

Chen Yin must find a place with less dense foliage, or a taller tree, to confirm the position of the sun, otherwise this strange forest will become more and more dangerous when the sun goes down.

The boots felt soft on the thick dead leaves on the ground, like stepping on a carpet of special material. As the center of gravity of the body moves, the dead branches and fallen leaves under your feet will make a fine cracking sound, and the breath is filled with the smell of grass and trees......

The Great Pyramid of Halstone found that in the early stage, Chen Yin followed Professor Joshua in such a primeval forest to find clues of civilization.

Inexplicably, Chen Yin suddenly had a sense of being on the earth.

Maybe it was because of the change in mentality, Chen Yin's anxious heart gradually settled down in this forest full of nature, and his chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.

Seem......

…… The bark of the tree also grows moss.

I searched around, and sure enough, I found a huge tree with moss growing at its roots.

After circling around the tree and carefully comparing the density of moss, Chen Yin determined a coordinate. Then he found a few mossy trees to repeat, and after getting the same result, Chen Yin finally determined the direction.

Recall the scene when you stepped on the mound, with the forest on the left and the plateau on the right...... The sun was on the left-hand side of the sky, and it was about just after noon...... Then the plateau is in the north of the forest.

Chen Yin cut two long parachute lines from the parachute, tied them together with a hunter's knot, hung one end on his belt and threw the other end on the ground, and moved sideways towards the previously determined north.

Soon, the paracord that fell to the ground was pulled in a straight line behind him, and such an important reference was formed. As long as he continues to move in the direction of this line, then Chen Yin does not have to stop and re-identify the direction.

Walking towards the north, after about an hour, there was still a dense primeval forest in front of me.

It seems that he hasn't gone far when he came, but now Chen Yin has the illusion that he can't get out.

And the most worrying thing is that the terrain under his feet has changed a little, although the change is not big, Chen Yin can still feel that his physical exertion has become faster, it seems to be ...... Uphill?

The unchanging scenery around Chen Yin gave Chen Yin the illusion that he was still standing still, and he stopped several times to reconfirm the direction, but each time the result told Chen Yin that the current direction was accurate.

So, what went wrong?

Chen Yin rethought it and felt that it might be a problem with the terrain in the forest. Perhaps, the edge of the forest is curved, and the place where Chen Yin entered was already deep into the forest. Or there is a more reliable explanation, which is that Chen Yin's judgment of the direction is not particularly accurate, especially the position of the sun in the sky.

Although basically whichever side of the sun is, which side is the south. But in the middle of the day, except at noon, the position of the sun is not necessarily due south. Chen Yin didn't know how many hours a day there was on this planet, but he just made a rough estimate of how far the sun's position would be based on the twenty-four hours on Earth to determine the direction represented by the sun's position.

Maybe the forest on the left hand side was not due south, but now if you go in the direction of due north, you may get out of a long diagonal line, resulting in the illusion that you will never be able to get out of the forest, and maybe you are not far from the edge of the forest now.

If this is the case, the day on this planet is longer than on Earth, and it is precisely because of the difference in time that Chen Yin's judgment is wrong.

According to the error in the judgment, Chen Yin adjusted the direction of progress slightly, a little east, according to the theory, this little deviation will allow him to get out of this forest faster.

But the surrounding forests are thicker.

Gradually, the surrounding plants began to change a little.

The strange and hideous plants began to multiply, and the humus on the ground became more and more sticky, like the stinking mud in a swamp, and it smelled strange.

There were always doubts in Chen Yin's heart, until an ugly and hideous huge thorn bush blocked Chen Yin's way, and the doubts in his heart reached its peak.

Always thought to be in the right direction......

…… Is it really correct?
