There are a total of 20 characters in the Bohai Palace's dragon hunting, which means that there are 19 nodes. And when the eighteenth magnet pillar was discovered, Chen Ziyang knew that she was already very close to this underground palace, as long as she found the last magnet pillar, and then walked to the last direction in the dragon hunting method, then that was the entrance to the Bohai Palace.

But at this time, Li Lin gathered everyone together and told them that the remaining dry food had reached the return cordon they had set before. If a few people don't get up and walk back now, then it is very likely that they will not be able to walk out of the mountains.

Although everyone in the team knew that this could happen, when they actually faced a shortage of food and had to turn back, everyone had a different feeling in their hearts. Chen Ziyang could see that except for the three of them and Wang Ming, the others had already had the idea of returning, because after all, they were in an employment relationship, so they couldn't work hard.

Wang Ming also saw this, there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, he didn't know what to do at this time, he might not find anything if he continued to move forward, and he might even take the lives of several people or even himself. But at the same time, it is possible to save his sister. If they return the same way, a few people can retreat, but Wang Lele may never wake up.

Seeing Wang Ming's embarrassment, Chen Ziyang knew that he should find a way to persuade these people to continue to seize the last opportunity, and he had to find a way to persuade them, otherwise, even if the people in the team continued to move forward, they would not be able to go far. And under the effect of this mentality, it is likely that it will not be long before this team will fall apart.

So Chen Ziyang said to everyone: "Actually, our supplies can still support us to continue to walk forward for a few more days." Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Li Lin's eyes showed a trace of incomprehension, so Chen Ziyang explained:

"Li Lin's calculation is not wrong, but I think he ignored a few points, when you calculate the warning line of our rations, it is calculated according to how many days it took us when we came, and how many days it will take when we go back, although it is safe, but in fact it is biased.

When we come, we need to dig out these magnet pillars one by one in order to judge the direction of progress, but when we go back, we don't need to do these jobs, so not only in terms of physical strength but also in time, it will shorten the time by a few days.

At the same time, when we came, we had to follow the established route in the dragon hunt, and when we went back, we could choose a better direction to go down the mountain, and even find the nearest village through GPS, which was not limited by the road at all, so we could still save a few days of time. Combined, I think we can continue to move forward for at least five days. ”

After Chen Ziyang said this, he turned his gaze to Li Lin, which meant that he hoped to get Li Lin's confirmation, and at the same time, several other people also looked at Li Lin. After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Li Lin nodded slightly, and then took out his small notebook, still calculating on it.

After a while, Li Lin finished the calculation, and then looked at the data in the book and said to everyone: "What Mr. Chen said is not wrong, it is that I did not think about it well before, and removed the two factors that Mr. Chen said, if you add that we take into account the distance we go back, most of them are downhill roads, which are easier to walk and more energy-saving, I estimate that we can walk forward for at least another 7 to 8 days."

And if you take into account the last few days, you only need to keep everyone half-full, then it is not impossible to move forward for another ten days. As soon as Li Lin finished speaking, Chen Ziyang obviously felt that the trace of nervousness and vigilance in everyone's eyes disappeared, and it seemed that everyone agreed with this statement.

At the same time, Chen Ziyang saw Wang Ming cast a grateful glance at him. After all, as far as Chen Ziyang is concerned, Wang Lele actually has nothing to do with him, Chen Ziyang came this time completely to help, one has no money, and the other has no interests. Wang Ming was already very moved, and Chen Ziyang stepped forward at this time, and solved the problem of the team's futility, so Wang Ming's impression of him at this time was extremely good.

Because it was almost dark, the team found a sheltered col near the eighteenth magnet pillar and rested. After these days of running-in, the team has already formed a tacit understanding, Zhang San and Li Si went out to sentry, Chen Ziyang and Wang Ming dug a snow pit for everyone to put sleeping bags.

The other four followed Li Lin to the neighborhood to cut down some dead branches to make a fire, and at the same time to see if they could find any clues of wild things, or find some other things to eat. When it was dark, the four people who had gone out came back with firewood, set up a small fire, put a small iron pot on it, poured snow into it, and boiled water to drink.

Several of them took out two compressed biscuits and roasted them around the fire, a method they had stumbled upon in the last few days. Although it is said that compressed biscuits can be used directly, they are baked on the fire. The compressed biscuits have a stronger aroma and a mushy flavor mixed with them, making people taste like they are eating barbecue.

These days, everyone eats like this every night. The fire-baked biscuits tasted exceptionally delicious, and Li Lin didn't approve of this way of eating, he was afraid that this taste could attract the wild bears around him, but there were no accidents for several days, so he stopped insisting.

Seeing that everyone was relatively dull at dinner, Chen Ziyang thought of a story about wild black bears, so he told everyone: "Li Lin is always afraid that if we bake this biscuit, it will attract wild bears, so I will tell you a story about wild bears that happened in my house."

In Linhai City, wild bears are called bear blind by us, I don't know why it is called so, anyway, since I was a child, I heard that the bear blind bear is blind, so I got used to it, it seemed to be more than nine years at that time, when I was only a few years old, in the mountains around Linhai City, there are still occasional wild black bears, unlike now, these things are basically extinct.

Once, one of my neighbors went to the mountains to pick mushrooms during this season, but he met a blind bear in a small forest, and he was so frightened that he didn't know whether to turn around and run away, or whether to fight this blind bear to the death, but at this time, he remembered the way we talked about when we met a blind bear.

That is, lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, don't move, in this way, the bear blind man will think that you are a dead man, according to the old people, this bear blind man is very particular about eating, absolutely does not eat dead things, it will only eat after it hunts the living creatures, and only eats fresh food.

So when this man thought of this, he quickly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, covering his head with both hands, burying his face deep in the soil, and not daring to move. But how did he know that this method of dealing with the blind bear was only half of what people said, that is, the blind bear did not eat the food that had already died.

However, when he sees a prey on the ground playing dead, he will come up to confirm whether the prey is really dead or playing dead. So the blind bear walked up to the man, touching and touching, but fortunately the man continued to play dead on the ground and did not do anything else.

But then the blind bear licked his ass, and the bear's tongue was full of barbs, and this one licked all the flesh off his buttocks, and even half of his buttocks even showed the pelvis inside, and I don't know where this neighbor of my house got the courage, and under this severe pain, he still did not move, nor did he scream, so then the blind bear left.

Luckily picked up a life for him, and then this half of the ass never grew again, if he walked in front, you see his ass is a drum, one side flat, and he walks with a limp, which is very interesting. Later, there was a ......"

Before Chen Ziyang's story was finished, Zhang San and Li Si, who were stationed nearby, came back to take over. It was Li Lin and Du Zifeng who were on guard in the first half of the night, so the two of them walked out, Chen Ziyang looked at Zhang San and Li Si's expressions, and felt that the two of them seemed to have something to say but couldn't say, so he asked the two of them carefully if there was anything wrong.

Zhang San and Li Si glanced at each other, and then Zhang San said: "In the past two days, the two of us feel as if someone is following us, but there are no actual clues, so we didn't tell you, but today this feeling is particularly strong, so just now the two of us combined, while we were on the sentry, we searched a distance of two kilometers on the way to us."

But I still didn't find any clues, I don't know if it was a human or a wild animal following us, or if it was just an illusion between the two of us. ”

After listening to Zhang San and Li Si's words, Chen Ziyang was a little excited at first, thinking that they had found clues to Lin Xueping's team, but after listening to the words of the two people, Chen Ziyang was disappointed again, even these two people with such rich combat experience searched the distance of two kilometers outward, and found no suspicious traces, it seems that it may really be the illusion of two people.

After telling everyone that they should be vigilant at night in the future, several people got into their sleeping bags and fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei were woken up, and it was their turn to sentry in the second half of the night today. Because of Zhang San and Li Si's previous reminders, the two of them were very energetic.

Chen Ziyang stood against a tree to save his physical strength, Yang Lei simply climbed to a nearby tree and lay down obliquely at the branch, which was not only very hidden, but also had a larger range of observation.

Just when the day was about to dawn, the sleepy and groggy Chen Ziyang was hit in the face by a snow ball, which frightened him, and when he looked up, the person who threw the snow ball just now was Yang Lei. I saw Yang Lei covering his mouth with one hand, and with the other hand, he motioned vigorously for him to climb to the tree, while pointing in a direction in the distance.

Chen Ziyang looked in the direction that Yang Lei pointed, but his vision was blocked by a few trees, so he hung the Uzi submachine gun behind him and climbed towards the trees carefully, not daring to make the slightest sound in the middle. When Chen Ziyang climbed to the thick branch where Yang Lei was, he looked in the direction he pointed.

When climbing the tree, Chen Ziyang thought that Yang Lei might have discovered Lin Xueping's team, or found some wild animals or something, but what he never expected was that following the direction Yang Lei pointed, he actually saw a child.

This little child is really dazzling in this ice and snow, because this child is not wearing anything, only wearing a big red belly pocket of ancient times, in a white, it looks very eye-catching, this child is jumping in the snowdrift, bending down from time to time to find something in the snowdrift.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lei was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close, and he quietly asked in Chen Ziyang's ear, "Er Yang, what is this?" This child in the ice and snow has so little clothes, he didn't freeze to death, there is not even a family in this hundred miles, where did this child come from? Did we encounter a ghost? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this isn't a ghost, this kid should be a mallet doll." Chen Ziyang looked at this strange picture, thought for a while and replied.

"Mallet dolls? You mean ginseng essence! ”

"That's right, legend has it that if the wild ginseng grows to seven or eight hundred years, it will transform into a human form, and it will also walk on its own, and in our eyes, it will turn into a human form.

It is said that if you want to catch this mallet, there is no other way to do it, so you can only tie him with a red rope, and after tying it with a red rope, this ginseng will not be able to run. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, don't you have a red thread on your body, hurry up and tie it up, these hundreds of years old wild ginseng can't be sold for a sky-high price!"

"You know money, this thing that has grown into a fine for hundreds of years, can you bear to stew it in soup? Let's do a good deed every day, give it a warning, tell him that there is someone around here, don't let him be caught by others. ”

After Chen Ziyang finished speaking, he put his two hands next to his mouth and shouted loudly at the ginseng doll: "Down the mountain......"

Chen Ziyang once heard the old man say that the ginseng dolls living in the deep mountains and old forests often hear these shouts, if they hear this sentence, they will know that there are people nearby, so they will hide, and they don't know whether this legend is true or false, but Chen Ziyang saw that after he shouted this sentence, the red dot in the white snow disappeared.

The shouting woke everyone up, and Chen Ziyang didn't say anything to them, just to get them up. So the team walked towards the last magnet pillar in Yang Lei's sigh.

What Chen Ziyang didn't see was that just after they set off, the ginseng doll in the snow appeared again, showing a smile in the direction Chen Ziyang was walking.
