Chapter 10: Speculation

"What's wrong with you? Did Yaming make some mistake again?" asked curiously, as he left for a while, and when he came back again, he saw the posture of several people and saw the posture of several people. Although it was an unintentional question, it hit the center of the problem. In fact, it is not difficult to see the situation that appeared, Ziyuan was condescending, Yayue followed behind, while Zuo Congrong and Yaming had a look of shame that they had done something wrong, and whoever saw it knew that the two of them must have done something with a conscience.

"You're here just in time, let's discuss the next route planning. Seeing a few people coming back, Zi Yuan left Zuo Congrong and Ya Ming, and turned back to Mingzhu and the others.

"Hmm, didn't you already plan the route when you were in Moni Town, why do you still have to plan it?" asked Kamio incomprehensibly when he heard Shion's opinion.

"Thanks to our incompetent minister, we seem to be lost in the current situation. Aster sighed and said weakly.

"Lost, it's impossible, we're going all the way north, and we're all equipped with a compass, even if he chooses the wrong path, he won't all follow him and get lost, right?" Indeed, in order to prevent Lu from getting separated halfway like last time, or not having the tools to discern the direction after being separated, Shion deliberately purchased everyone's necessary supplies for the field, and the route plan was already formulated on the day of the rest in Moni Town, even if Yamin couldn't figure out the direction alone, he wouldn't trap everyone into it.

"Then let me ask you, has anyone else on your road seen a compass?" Shion questioned.

"This ......" everyone looked at each other for a long time, and then closed their mouths after half-talking.

As the strongest martial artist here, Kamio has always been tasked with overcoming obstacles and blazing a trail, and he has no time or energy to take care of other issues. Not to mention Zuo Congrong, he has always relied on intuition and instinct to act, and he has no habit and plan to look at the compass at all. Although Lan Feng has always been cautious, he has never had a position in front of the eldest lady. He didn't even look at the compass when he was walking around the eldest lady. And Mingzhu and Yayue, in this kind of dense forest that has not opened up a road, are basically no different from ordinary people, just rushing to make the two of them tired, where do they have the energy to think about anything else, naturally they haven't seen it.

"Don't we trust Jamin, who knew that this would happen!"

Of course, everyone will definitely not say the reason why they haven't seen it, basically except for the god tail, the rest of the people don't have any decent reasons. Since he couldn't say it, he could only throw the black cauldron on Yamin's back again, and Mingzhu shrewdly threw the key to Yaming's side.

"Has Sister Ziyuan ever seen the compass?" As soon as Mingzhu's voice fell, a discordant voice came to everyone's ears. Who is so desperate to ask such a mindless question, everyone looked back curiously, and saw that Zuo Congrong, who was still kneeling there, looked curious, as if he was waiting for Ziyuan's answer, needless to say, this is the thing that asked.

"Whew, so it's only me and Yaming who have corrected the course, right?" Ziyuan seemed to ignore Zuo Congrong. As if answering him specifically, after a long breath, he told this fact.

"......" None of the people spoke, and nodded together very obediently.

"As far as I'm concerned. I don't think there's anything wrong with the route led by Jamin, and I've seen the compass a few times along the way, and Yaming didn't miss it. Aster excused Jamin.

"Well, in that case, we shouldn't have gotten lost, right?" Lan Feng wondered. Since Yaming and Shion, the two most reliable people, said that there was no problem. That could be wrong.

"It may be that our compass has a problem at the same time, and everyone takes out the compass and compares it. Is it a problem with the instrument. Shion suggested to everyone.

......

"Ah Rong, where is your compass?" The seven people surrounded the city, and they had already taken out the compass, but seeing that only six arms were stretched out, Shenwei observed for a while, and asked Zuo Congrong.

"That...... , I don't know where to put it. Zuo Congrong said embarrassedly.

"Forget it, leave him alone, six is enough. Aster said. I don't know if Lu Dao is relieving Zuo Congrong, or if he has completely lost his expectations and confidence in Zuo Congrong.

"Isn't that all right? Mingzhu said, staring at the compass with the six hands exactly the same.

"Whew, I'll just say, how could my route plan go wrong. Yamin let out a long sigh of relief and said with relief.

"Since there is no problem with the compass, then why do you still say that you are lost?" Mingzhu asked curiously. The four people in the previous naturally knew the reason, but Mingzhu and the others had been running to pick fruits in the distance, where did they know the current situation.

"Look at this position. Shion unfolded the map and pointed to the mountain range where everyone was supposed to be on the map.

"This ...... , how is it possible!" Lan Feng looked at it carefully and shouted in a lost voice. Although they are all children of aristocratic families, they only have some theoretical understanding of the mountains that survive in the wild, but it is still no problem to look at something as simple as a map. According to the scale, I must have reached the foot of the mountain the day before yesterday, and since I still haven't seen the shadow of the mountain after two days, there is really no reason to explain it except to get lost.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with all of our compasses?" Mingzhu guessed in confusion.

"There are several possibilities. Ziyuan said to a few people seriously.

"What else is possible?" the remaining six asked in unison.

"It's possible that I strayed into the territory of some magical beast and was interfered with. Then there's the environmental problem, where the magnetic field is disturbed. There is also a kind of ...... "Ziyuan sold Guan Zi suddenly stopped talking and began to arouse everyone's curiosity.

"What else?" asked eagerly, as they pricked up their ears curiously, for fear of missing something important.

"And ...... Ghosts!"

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

"Ha Lu Ha ......" accompanied by the poignant three female screams, Zi Yuan was so bad that he let go of Da Lu and laughed. Zuo Congrong and Ya Ming, on the other hand, were pale-faced, feeling powerless for such a prank, and at the same time deeply feeling stupid for their serious attitude.

Even if there is no horror story told, but shouting the word "ghost" so loudly is still easy for people to have a conditioned reflex, and the scene in front of them is: Lan Feng and Mingzhu hugged each other tightly, and at the same time their eyes were closed, and two of the three screams came from the mouths of these two, and it was really embarrassing for Lan Feng, who was so scared that he even made out the movements of women...... And the god tail, who has always been cheerful and masculine in his manners and dress, was frightened like this, and was directly stuck in Zuo Congrong's arms, no need to ask, the screams of the remaining one person were hers, which made several people unexpectedly see the more feminine side of the god tail. Only Yayue was a little unexpected, and among the seven, only Yayue looked the weakest, and as a result, except for the mischievous master's Shion, this girl was the only one who still kept her sanity and was not frightened.

"Hehe, it's still my family Yayue who is strong. Seeing his sister so competitive, Yaming patted her on the shoulder proudly and complimented. But this shot doesn't matter, Yayue, who was originally standing very upright, suddenly fell down softly, and was actually scared and fainted......

......

"Okay, no kidding, it's still a question just now. I think the most likely thing we're doing right now is that we've fallen for illusion. After the prank, everyone gathered together again, and Shion said to everyone.

"Illusion, is it possible, when was it calculated?" As a martial artist, he didn't know much about the affairs of the magic department, let alone the rare kind of spiritual magic in the magic department, Yaming asked with a frown.

"Probably before we entered the town of Moni, we were already targeted. Shion said semi-certainly.

“...... You mean, when we were on an escort mission, we encountered a subsidence on the way?" thought for a moment, and Kamio confirmed to Shion.

"That's right. At that time, when I went out, I didn't see anything, I didn't feel anything, if it was a human factor, it would definitely leave a clue, a fluctuation in ability, or a residual breath of magic. Now that I think about it, only illusions can cause such an effect. Aster speculated.

"But isn't there a natural factor?" Mingzhu wondered. As far as the effect is concerned, although the degree of coincidence is very high, it does not exclude the cause of natural factors.

"It may indeed be a natural factor, but don't you think it's too much of a coincidence, as if you deliberately didn't want to threaten human safety. Aster Road.

"But isn't it a bit far-fetched to connect the previous events with the current situation in this way?" Masaki held up the notebook in her hand.

"Before, Ah Rong also said that there is a sense of danger, and Ah Rong's feeling has always been very accurate. Kamio interjected.

"What Ah Rong said can't be the ground, right?" Mingzhu asked, turning his head to the left.

"Of course not, I said that it is something that may pose a threat to us, I also think there is a problem, it should be a ghost caused by someone, and I also agree with Sister Ziyuan's statement, we had better consider these two things together. Being questioned like this, Zuo Congrong retorted a little uncontrollably.

"Alas, what a trouble, I lost two of my first adventures in the forest. It's good this time, but I actually lost all the people in ......" Mingzhu said lazily.

"I can't stand it after I've only been lost twice, I've been lost three times!" Zuo Congrong shouted in the depths of his heart. Rather than getting lost near the town of Moni, I was lost in the depths of the forest. But for those who don't have a compass, they can only be regarded as deserving to be lost, if they hadn't happened to meet a few of the eldest brothers, it is estimated that by now, he is still wandering in the depths of the forest, right? But then again, even if he is still wandering, at least his magic circuit cannot be completely destroyed like now...... (To be continued......)
