We stood on the edge of the swamp, and in front of us was a large area of water, which was divided by many layers of raised peat, and the whole swamp looked like a broken mirror. The raised layers of peat in the swamp are covered with shrubs. If you look into the distance, you can see some waterlogging resistant trees, such trees are like fish in water in this environment, so they are very large, the trees are intertwined, and from a distance it looks like a forest, but it is very likely that there is only one tree.

Lantern Xiao jumped onto a dead tree and looked forward as best she could, "Could it be that the place we are looking for is in the depths of this swamp?" ”

I also looked forward and nodded, "It looks like this." ”

Lantern Xiao frowned, "What kind of ancestors are you talking about, why did you move to such a ghost place?" ”

I said, "I think they were helpless at the time, and I speculate that they came here to escape the world so that people outside could not find them. And hiding in the depths of the swamp, the swamp itself has become a kind of protective barrier for them. ”

Hearing me say this, Lantern Xiao smiled and said, "This shallow puddle still protects the barrier?" As he spoke, he walked into the swamp with a stride on the bumps.

I shook my head slightly, "Actually, it's not that simple, first of all, although there are some bushes and trees here, but a large number of places are clear at a glance, there is no place to hide, if someone here wants to attack it, the opposite fortification, it is easy to find the enemy's whereabouts." And," I said, picking up a branch and probing the depths of the swamp puddle in front of me, "I think this swamp should be geographically a median swamp, and many years ago, when those ancestors lived here, it was probably a low swamp, and the water level at that time should have been much higher than it is now. ”

Lantern Xiao said: "Isn't it better to attack with a high water level, you can use a boat!" ”

"No," I continued, "in a swamp like this, these puddles vary in depth and have a lot of peat bulges in between, and if you don't know the route by boat, you're probably going to bottom out halfway through!" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded at this time, "According to what you say, our goal is ahead, let's go quickly!" ”

Anadot waved her hand, "I don't think we should be reckless, this area is so big, let's go, which direction should we take?" ”

Lantern Xiao said "hi", "What's there to hesitate about?" No matter what direction you go from here, you have to pass through here anyway, there's no doubt about that. I think we'd better go first! Otherwise, the Yuan family's team should catch up. ”

I agree with Anado's statement, "Don't worry, Lantern Festival, according to my previous experience, I don't think this swamp is as calm as it seems, if there is such a problem, delay the time, now it is going to be dark, once you are trapped in the swamp at night, it is a very dangerous thing." ”

Lantern Xiao is still eager to try, "Then what do you say?" ”

I was also confused as I looked at the scene in front of me, and the three of us stood on the edge of the swamp for a long time without speaking.

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Lantern Xiao walked back again, "Yes, if you don't leave, let's eat first, I'm hungry anyway!" ”

I nodded, "Okay, let's rest in place first, maybe Wenmo will come back to us later." ”

We found a nearby flat area, and Anado and I packed up any equipment we might need later, while Lantern Xiao went around looking for something that could be used to make a fire.

When camping in the wilderness, every time a fire is lit, it always adds a lot of security and convenience. As the only creature in the world that can use fire, fire is of great natural significance to human beings.

We were packing up, and suddenly we heard the shout of Lantern Festival, "Hey! Come and see this! ”

Anado and I hurriedly put down the things in our hands and ran in the direction where Lantern Xiao was, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”

Lantern Xiao pointed to a tree in front of us and said, "I was just looking for some firewood here that can start a fire, but I didn't expect to find this on this tree trunk. ”

We looked around, only to find that there was a figure carved on the trunk of the tree, this figure I have seen many times, every time I see it my mood is extremely complicated, it is the symbol like a little turtle, although this mysterious symbol has confused me so far, but according to the current situation I have, there are only two people left with this symbol, Wenmo or my second uncle.

However, I also noticed that the symbols carved on the trunk of the tree seemed to be different from the few times I had seen them before, and I was not sure what the time was different, but I felt that the symbols on the trunk seemed to have some more lines from memory.

This discovery made my heart move, could it be that this symbol expressed a different meaning this time?

Anador was seeing this for the first time, so she didn't know what it meant.

There is also an arrow below this figure that points in one direction in the swamp.

I looked at the arrow, "Could it be that someone left this message in the hope that we will move in this direction?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, but did not speak. Anado looked carefully at the pattern on the trunk, "Is this the mark left by your boss?" To show you the way. ”

Hearing Anado's words, I suddenly froze, and a thought flashed through my mind, and at the same time, I actually had a sense of déjà vu.

Before I could figure out the source of this feeling, I heard Lantern Xiao say, "No, I don't think so. ”

Anado asked, "Why?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at Anado, and then at me again, "I have a feeling that this symbol was not left by the boss, I think it should be left by your second uncle." ”

"My second uncle?" I leaned in front of the trunk again, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, although this symbol looks very new, it is not just engraved, then it should not be done by Wenmo, then it can only be my second uncle." ”

As soon as I mentioned my second uncle, Anado immediately paid extra attention, "Is this really Qiu Ye's stay?" So he was not far ahead. ”

I don't know why, I just feel a little wrong.

Anador said, "Now that the direction is decided, why don't we set off now, so that we can reach the other side of the swamp before it gets dark." Maybe Qiu is waiting for us there! ”

In fact, Anadot is a very good person, smart, brave and steady, but as soon as she got involved in my second uncle's affairs, she was a little impulsive, and she was still persuading us not to be reckless just now, but she was in a hurry to set off at this time. Could it be true to answer that sentence, love makes a woman's IQ zero.

I still think it's a bit strange that this symbol appears here in this form. Therefore, I didn't respond to Anado's proposal, not only me, but Lantern Xiao also just looked into the depths of the swamp and didn't speak.

Contrary to Anado's situation, he was still remembering the Lantern Festival just now, but he began to hesitate at this time. I think because we went through the same thing, he had the same idea as me at this moment.

Seeing that we didn't make a sound, Anador was a little anxious, "Why don't you speak?" Don't you want to find Zhuoqiuya? ”

I saw that she was a little excited, so I said, "Sister, don't worry, even if this symbol was left by my second uncle, it is not certain that it must be used to show us the direction, because we did not have such an agreement before." ”

Anador immediately said: "Then you can recognize at a glance that this is left by your second uncle, so you have communicated in this way before, right?" If that's the case, it's likely the same situation this time, so you didn't have a chance to exchange information this time. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "We've communicated through this symbol before, but ......"

Before I could finish speaking, Anador took the words, "Isn't this enough, your second uncle must have left a message in this way, even if it wasn't specifically for you to see, it was for later people to see." So I think it's okay to follow the mark left by your second uncle! ”

I didn't know how to explain to Anador for a while, and Lantern Xiao also had a helpless expression on her face.

Just when we were in a dilemma, suddenly, in the jungle across the swamp, a puff of green smoke rose. The green smoke soared upwards and floated very high.

We were very surprised by this sudden situation, and Lantern Xiao said, "I'll go, it won't be on fire!" ”

However, this statement of the Lantern Festival was quickly denied by reality, because this green smoke has remained unchanged and has no tendency to expand at all.

It is precisely for this reason that its appearance has attracted our attention. In the words of the Lantern Festival, this must be someone deliberately setting smoking!

Lantern Festival's words are right, because a normally burning fire cannot produce such a long-lasting green smoke, and only someone may have done it on purpose.

Anador looked at the pillar of smoke in the distance and said, "But who did this?" ”

"This must be someone doing the point, guiding the way." With that, Lantern Xiao ran towards our equipment, and then said while sorting out his equipment, "I think let's go over and have a look." ”

Anador said: "I think we should still follow the mark left by Qiu Ye, I don't know who put this kind of green smoke, so I rush over, maybe I will fall into someone else's trap." Compared to me, I believe in the clues left by Qiu Ye. ”

Lantern Xiao didn't stop, "There's nothing to be afraid of, what can do this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to be an animal, let alone a monster, it can only be a human, if it's a human, I'm afraid of a fart." As he spoke, Lantern Xiao pulled out the pistol on his waist, pulled the bolt, hung up the insurance, and stuffed it into his waist again.
