To tell the truth, the forest park in winter, there is really nothing fun, the climate in our north is not as good as the south, although it is already the beginning of spring, but the weather in February, the park is still bare, except for the occasional evergreen tree species, it is really monotonous, and those who come here to do a bonfire party, it is really time to punish it, in winter, the weather is dry and dry, if the bonfire is not played, that is, the parents and villagers of Jiangdong City are invited to participate in the bonfire party.

Li and I first went all the way to the remains of the campfire. Tian Xinfan was running around the burnt firewood here boredly, and when he saw me coming, he immediately raised his hand to greet me.

"I said Lao Tian, how long have you been here? What did you find? As I spoke, I first observed the bonfire that had long since been extinguished. The campfire had apparently been extinguished naturally without treatment, and some of the soot had been blown away on the ground around it.

"I said, sir, if you want to find something in these bonfires, I advise you to forget it, I have looked carefully before, there is no trace of human extinguishing at all, it is all naturally burned out. The footprints around here are very messy, and they have been searched before we arrived, and the footprints are even more messy, and it is almost impossible to find any clues from here. Or, with my skills, I can't find clues here, if only Sarutobi Sasuke was here. With that guy's skills, it's not that hard to track people down here. Tian Xinfan's tone fell.

"Sarutobi Sasuke? I thought it was made up, but if you tell me this, I'll believe it, and tell others, they must think you've seen too much Naruto. While responding to Tian Xinfan, he tried to find any clues nearby.

"Leader, why don't we go directly to the place where our team found the strange tree?" Li Jiaxin listened to the two of us, listened inexplicably, and asked me about the next itinerary.

"Don't worry, the things found on the side of Dong Jiu are quite far away from yours, I think it is very likely that they encountered something here at the bonfire, which frightened them and began to flee in all directions, but don't you think it's strange, since it's an escape, why don't you flee in the direction of the park gate, but instead flee to the depths?" Finger, pointing in the direction we came, "In this direction, something has appeared that scares them, and there is more than one." If it was just one or two, a dozen of them could have bypassed one or two things and ran away, or confronted, after all, these were all students with strong blood. ”

"Lao Tian, raise your salary, you guys study on the ground nearby to see if there are any blood stains or something." I commanded, and tapped my hand on the small bottle in my breast pocket, "Little poem, cover my eyes, I want to see if there is anything strange here." ”

A pair of small hands stretched out from the small porcelain vase and covered my eyes, and the world in front of me immediately changed. To be honest, at that moment, I was really taken aback because the problem in front of me was even more serious than I thought. Forests and other places, vegetation is luxuriant, although it is often shaded and will condense some yin energy, but because of its own vitality, yang and yin energy can be reconciled, and even slightly overshadow yin energy, but this forest is completely different, as far as the eye can see, all are filled with faint black smoke, that is, yin qi is undoubted.

Such a heavy yin qi is definitely not naturally formed, I didn't come to the forest park to play before, at that time I felt that it was all full of vitality, even if my heavenly and human destiny was not fully awakened before, but I saw a few ghosts with the blind man, and I still remember the feeling of yin qi around me very clearly.

"Boss, I found this, you see." Tian Xinfan shouted, feeling a dead leaf came over, I took the dead leaf and looked at it, only to see that in the middle of the dead leaf, there was a small piece of dripping yellow-green things with my hand to touch, it felt a little sticky, and when I smelled it with my nose, there was an obvious smell of plants.

"Lao Tian, what do you think this thing is? I feel like it's a very ordinary natural gum, what's so strange? "I handed the leaves back to Tian Xinfan.

"In terms of taste and feel, I also think this is like natural gum, but head, do you feel that the shape of this drop of gum is not quite right?" Tian Xinfan pointed the leaves to me, "Gums are relatively viscous, even if they fall from a height, they are mostly a small ball, and this drop of gum gives me the feeling that it is more like water or something dripping onto the ground." ”

"Oh?" I took the leaf and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed the shape that only appeared when a liquid like water dripped down. "You mean, this thing wasn't originally a gum, it just became a gum after it dripped off? That's a bit of a stretch. I handed the leaf to Lee, who was on the side, "Put it away and go back and let them do a chemical analysis to see what exactly is on it." ”

"Yes!" Li gave a salute, took the leaves, and then glanced at the ground to our right, "Leader, there seem to be a lot of these things over there." ”

I listened to Li's words and immediately got in the direction he said with Tian Xinfan. Sure enough, there were a lot of dead branches and leaves on the ground that were stained with this gum, but they had been trampled on in a mess. I didn't go and collect the things piece by piece, but I just looked at a rough shape, and those strange gum dots seemed to form an arc, which, judging by the relatively well-preserved sections, was at least one hundred and twenty degrees.

"Boss, I see, someone threw these things out from here." Tian Xinfan measured a few times on the ground with his feet, stood on a point, took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed it and poured it on his ten-character gun, and then waved his hand and shook it horizontally, and the water droplets were immediately thrown out and fell to the ground, faintly overlapping with those gum dots on the ground.

"So, somebody is throwing a jar of gum here? It always feels a little weird.

"Sniffing" A small breeze blew, and Li Jiaxin suddenly sniffed as if he was smelling something. Immediately, he walked over to the fire, crouched down, continued to sniffle, and then picked up a piece of wood that had been scattered outside the campfire and had not been burned. The piece of wood was about the thickness of a wrist and three inches long, and after Li Jiaxin picked it up, he sniffed it vigorously, "Leader, I feel like I have found a treasure, do you think this piece of wood will be the legendary agarwood?" So saying, he gave me the wood as if it were a treasure.

I took the wood and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a very peculiar fragrance on this piece of wood. It smelled good, but it wasn't the scent of any kind of wood I knew. On the cross-section of the wood, it is not the kind of growth rings of ordinary tree sections, but a bit like an orange that has been cut horizontally, with a circle on the outside and a white spot in the middle.

"Pack it in a vacuum bag, and it's best not to let this thing come into contact with the air." I threw the wood to Li for a raise, and asked for mineral water from Tian Xinfan to wash my hands, "Some plants produce hallucinogenic substances when burned, such as cactus toxin and hallucinogenic mushrooms, etc., this is also brought back for analysis, I hope it is the culprit of this incident." ”

Li Jiaxin listened to my words, and his originally excited face immediately collapsed, agarwood is worth a lot of money, but hallucinogens may be fatal.

After the initial investigation around the campfire, I asked Tian Xinfan to stay here and guard it, so that no one would come to destroy this place again, and then followed the mark with Li Jiaxin and walked towards the place where he had found the humanoid dwarf tree before. This way, we walked relatively slowly, and on the way, in addition to looking for signs, we also checked for anything strange along the way. Closer to the campfire, there were many footprints and messy, and after walking out for a while, it was much better, but still no valuable clues were found. It wasn't until Lee told me that it was coming soon, and I finally found something on the side of the "road" that had been stepped on.

It was a drop of gum that was similar to that of the campfire, sprinkled along the way next to the "road" that had been stepped on, and it looked as if someone was deliberately carrying a gum bag to soak, dripping along the way, and it became a line. "Li raise, I have a feeling that even if there is no signpost you made, we can still find the thing you found before." Where does the gum come from, that's a very simple question, from the tree. I always felt that there was a connection between the humanoid dwarf tree and the gum.

As we walked along, the shape of the gum droplets began to change, at first as a dropping and sputtering shape, and gradually, into dots. And after dripping along the gum for three to five minutes, I saw the human-shaped dwarf tree in Li Jiaxin's mouth.

Seeing this thing up close is even more shocking than what you see in the photo, the head of the humanoid head is completely covered with something like a wicker on the head, and it makes people's hearts hairy. "Have you ever pushed aside the wicker-like stuff?"

"No, leader, before we came out, the white team told us that as long as we encounter something strange, don't rush closer, report first, safety first. It looked weird, so we just made a report, and no one dared to go up and touch it. There have been too many things recently, and so many brothers have died, and we don't dare to mess around. ”

Haven't you touched it? That's best, my gut tells me that there's a great danger in this thing.
