The forest floor was full of withered yellow fallen leaves, and a thick pile had accumulated, and when I stepped on it, I immediately sank into it.

Chen Yuan squatted down and observed, these fallen leaves were estimated to be at least five centimeters thick, and I don't know how many years they had accumulated.

Immersion in it, as if entering an ancient primeval forest, a distant atmosphere permeates the forest, making people feel vicissitudes and ancient.

Step by step, Chen Yuan and the two dogs moved forward cautiously, not letting their guard down at every step.

The more you walk through the forest, the darker it gets, and the surrounding trees seem to grow taller and taller, and the broad foliage completely obscures the sun's rays overhead, and not even a trace of it can be cast.

There was silence in the woods, no birds or insects, no sound at all, except for the slight sound of them stepping on fallen leaves.

"Shell, have you ever seen a forest like this in your hometown?" Such an atmosphere was too oppressive and tense, Chen Yuan simply asked.

Shell shook his head and said, "No, this forest is a little weird, it seems that there is no animal, but these trees are common tree species." ”

Chen Yuan nodded, indeed, this is a subtropical broad-leaved forest, there is nothing unusual, that is, the trees have grown taller and denser, but this forest is similar to a primeval forest at a glance, it is well preserved, there is no trace of man-made destruction, and it is understandable that the trees can grow so tall.

"Maybe it's because the sun doesn't shine in, so there are no living animals in the forest." Chen Yuan guessed.

The shells didn't know why, and their group moved slowly and carefully, and in the dark woods, I don't know how long it took, and even when the evolved Daha and Du Gao's footsteps began to slow down, a light finally appeared in front of them.

"Master, look." The shell standing on Chen Yuan's shoulder was the first to discover this.

Chen Yuanlian looked ahead, and there was a faint light shining on the blackened ground in front of him, although this light was almost invisible, it looked so bright in the eyes of transparency.

The two dogs were the first to bark and gallop towards the light, and Chen Yuan also followed quickly, a few steps away from a distance of ten meters.

The light became denser and brighter, and Chen Yuan, who had just come out of the darkness, could hardly stand this sudden change, and he had to cover his eyes with his arms temporarily.

After getting used to it, I put my arm down and looked around, still in the woods, but the terrain here is much wider, the trees have become much more sparse, and the sunlight in the sky is spilling down through the gaps between the branches and leaves, falling on the gray ground, mottled and swaying with the shaking of the leaves, giving people a sense of vitality.

Looking back, the forest I had just walked through was still dark, and I couldn't see the end.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, if there was still such a Black Forest next, then he could only choose to turn back, after all, this forest was too secretive.

After a little rest, Chen Yuan continued to walk forward with the two dogs.

After a few steps, the two dogs stopped, Chen Yuan also stopped, Daha barked, and then took the lead in running to the left, Chen Yuan and Du Gao followed.

After running a kilometer quickly, passing through the bushes and a small forest, and crossing a few rocks, Daha stopped in front, and Chen Yuan also stepped over the rocks in a few steps, and swept the scene in front at a glance.

Not far ahead, about fifty meters away from him, there was a small stream that was gurgling, and because of the tranquility of the surroundings, the sound of the stream flowing was very clear.

This creek is not large, and the sides are all smooth flat stones, pale yellow, with a shallow layer of sand and pebbles on the top, and the surrounding red flowers and green leaves, when the breeze blows, there are red flowers falling into the stream, and slowly flowing down with the stream.

The fragrance of flowers is faint and fills the air.

It's a peaceful and beautiful landscape.

However, Chen Yuan's eyes only glanced at the stream and stopped looking, because he saw a gray dress beside a goose-yellow stream rock beside the stream.

The gray color was hidden in the surrounding sand and stones, which was not very conspicuous, but Chen Yuan still saw it at first sight.

He stepped out and slowly walked over there, walking nearly ten meters, Chen Yuan finally saw clearly that it was a piece of clothing worn on a person, and a person fell on the side of the sand and stones.

Although the air is filled with a faint and pleasant smell of flowers, it still can't hide a disgusting stench.

The closer we got to the fallen gray figure, the more pronounced the stench became, and there was no doubt that the stench was coming from the person, who was dead.

It was not the first time Chen Yuan had seen a dead person, on the night when the kittens in Ning City were killed, he didn't know how many he had seen, but they were all bitten to death directly, but the dead man he met today was dead for an unknown number of days, at least his body was already stinking and smelly.

Glancing around, he didn't find anything abnormal, Chen Yuan walked over slowly, came to the stream, stood on the stream rock, picked up a branch next to him, turned the person over, and a more pungent stench suddenly came, Chen Yuan couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

He looked closely, and the face of this corpse was faintly recognizable, it was a middle-aged man, not tall, but very strong.

The man also had a shotgun in his hand.

Flipping down, Chen Yuan's eyes shrank slightly, and he saw that on the left chest of the corpse, there was a hole in the clothes, and he used a branch to open this hole and look inside, and saw a black hole.

Chen Yuan endured the feeling of nausea, stretched out his hand to tear the opening wider, and suddenly the scene on his chest was clearly presented under his eyes.

There was a hole in the heart, and it was hollow, and the heart had been taken out.

Chen Yuan carefully examined the wound, his eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly, the outer skin of this heart is relatively intact, and there is no trace of blood, obviously the murderer used a very powerful and precise tool to directly take out the middle-aged man's heart.

After a slight inspection of the other parts, no wounds were found, and Chen Yuan confirmed that the fatal wound of the corpse was this cut.

Who did it?

Chen Yuan was puzzled, what kind of tool could be used to cause such a complete wound, and this middle-aged man knew at a glance that he was an ordinary farmer, if there was such a tool, then the price would be high, and the cost of spending such a price was just to kill such a farmer.

And it's in this place where almost no one comes.

There is absolutely no need for this.

Chen Yuan could only turn his thoughts to other possibilities, and since he met the kitten, his mind had broadened a lot.

Looking at the surrounding scene, and thinking of the mysterious Black Forest he had just passed through and the extinct but suddenly appeared Babbitt giant panda, Chen Yuan couldn't help but attribute the murderer to some mysterious creature.
