It took a long time for the two of them to convince themselves that the scene in front of them was indeed not an illusion.

"What the hell is going on?" Zheng Xiaofeng said incredulously.

The lemming's death was rather bizarre, its head barely shaped, and it had many jagged wounds, as if it had been chewed up by something, and had become a pulp. Zheng Xiaofeng hurriedly opened his backpack and went to look at the other lemmings, and found that without exception, they all became like this.

The inside of the backpack was completely red with blood, and the blood showed no signs of clotting, and it felt like they had just died.

"I'm stupid." Zheng Xiaofeng said.

Cheng Ruxue's expression was like eating a bitter melon, and she asked, "Why did they die?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng is difficult to explain, this scene is indeed too bizarre, you must know that the position of the backpack has never moved, and there is no sign of the zipper opening, which makes it difficult for Zheng Xiaofeng to convince himself that some beast has appeared to cause this.

"Is it cannibalism?" Zheng Xiaofeng tried to say, "Rodents do have a natural tendency to kill each other, but it only happens in special circumstances, and if they kill each other...... You'll survive, right? ”

Cheng Ruxue didn't know much about biology, so she could only speculate according to her own thoughts, and said, "That's not a beast, it's not cannibalism, what can it be?" Could it be that there are still ghosts? ”

Of course, this is a nonsense, even if there are really ghosts, I have never seen anyone's ghosts attack lemmings, so the question is, is it a human? But once someone approached, it was impossible for the two of them to go unnoticed. And what mentally normal person would come over and chew up the lemming's head, and then go back to his clothes to hide his merit and fame, isn't this purely sick?

Maybe this neuropathy is Xu Qingyun, this is the only possibility that makes sense.

So the more elusive it is, the more outrageous it becomes.

Zheng Xiaofeng hesitated, got up and looked at the big tree again, there was no abnormal trace of the position where the backpack was placed just now, and the snow was very flat, indicating that if anything was close, it could only be a light skill that would step on the snow without a trace.

Maybe...... Something coming down from a tree again? The two of them had a similar experience when they were in Tarim Mountain before, and at that time, Liu Bushuai's girlfriend suddenly disappeared, and half of his face appeared in the pot after a while.

Thinking about it, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, but the trees were not dense, and the situation above could easily be seen, and there was indeed nothing abnormal.

The two of them are really confused.

"It feels like we can only convince ourselves that they are indeed killing each other." Zheng Xiaofeng spread his hands and said helplessly, Cheng Ruxue laughed and said, "This seems to be the most reasonable explanation at present." ”

The two of them had no choice but to sit down again, trying to tell themselves not to think about the things that were not in the background, after all, no matter what happened, filling their stomachs was always the most important thing. The current situation also has an advantage, that is, the lemmings are more convenient to deal with, and the decapitation and peeling are all things that can be done in one go.

It took about an hour for the two men to finish disposing of a dozen lemmings, raising a fire, skewering them into meat skewers from branches, and roasting them. The smell of meat soon spread again, but this time, the two of them seemed less appetizing.

It can even be said that the mood is a little depressed now.

In any case, this bizarre incident still made the two of them want to think uncontrollably, the meat was cooked, and the two of them ate it in small bites, and they didn't feel solid no matter how they ate.

How to describe it, this feels like eating a steamed bun that has been chewed, the key is that they don't know who the steamed bun is by, or what is chewing it, which is more likely to arouse people's rich imagination, and all kinds of weird and even disgusting ideas come out of their heads for a while.

Being in danger for a long time, the two of them have developed very sensitive nerves, and anything strange will make them very, extremely uncomfortable. After eating for a while, Cheng Ruxue suddenly remembered the traces of the palm thunder again, and now that she thinks about it, she suddenly feels that things are probably not so simple.

Cheng Ruxue said: "Xiao Feng, have you ever wondered why Dong Que and them released the palm thunder?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's to leave a mark, or maybe it's to encounter some prey and accidentally hit it while hunting." ”

Cheng Ruxue's face was solemn, put down the meat in her hand, and said, "I thought so before, but now that I think about it, it seems that something is wrong." You think, if it's to leave a mark, they can choose to use a knife to carve or leave a marker, so why do they have to use mana? As for hunting, I'm afraid it's even more impossible, didn't Dong Que say that the spells of any of their doors don't have much effect on living beings, even if that's the case, Sun Wei's psychic skills can strengthen physical fitness, and the speed is enough to keep up with any animal, so why use palm thunder? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned at the same moment, including Cheng Ruxue herself, who really realized the mystery hidden in her words at this moment.

"It has no effect on living beings", so does it mean that they are not living creatures at all?

Or maybe there's a ghost or something like that?!

"it...... Isn't it......" Zheng Xiaofeng couldn't help but say, Cheng Ruxue was also made to shudder by her own thoughts, if this is the case, then the next situation will immediately become different, and they may have to be prepared to encounter the unexpected at any time.

Moreover, what will be the situation of the four people of any gate now, they must reconsider.

The two of them were silent for a long time with pale faces, and finally Zheng Xiaofeng spoke first: "It shouldn't be so outrageous...... This is an island, not a tomb, if we can even encounter supernatural events here, is our luck too much back? ”

Cheng Ruxue sighed, she didn't intend to have such a fluke mentality, she gritted her teeth, and still said her judgment.

"What if...... There's really a tomb here......

Zheng Xiaofeng was taken aback, and said dumbfounded: "You mean?!" What do you mean...... We happened to come to the place that the ancient books say?! ”

Cheng Ruxue shrugged: "Although the possibility is very small, since it is the two of us...... It shouldn't be strange what happened. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng was speechless for a while, to be honest, it wasn't that he couldn't think of this section, but he didn't dare to think about it at all. But when Cheng Ruxue said this and rethought these things, Zheng Xiaofeng immediately realized that what she said was completely possible, and it was very likely.

The direction of the ocean circulation, especially the ocean circulation of the Arctic Ocean, has been roughly unchanged day and night for thousands of years, and it has been proved that the passage of ocean currents through this sea area is a high-frequency event, otherwise they would not have come to the same island as Dong Quede and others.

So what if the immortal messenger holding the scorpion banner also relied on the ocean circulation to find that ancient civilization?

In ancient times, when science and technology were backward, navigation must not have been advanced, and perhaps the control effect of ocean circulation on ships was higher than that of the crew itself.

And there is another detail, that is, the ancient book does not record the specific route of this trip, so is there such a possibility, that is, the scorpion messenger also suffered a shipwreck that year.

If you don't know the route, of course you can't record it.

This is like a set of computer programs, input the same variables, then obviously will get the same output, for this matter, the input is the same shipwreck, the calculation process is the ocean circulation, then the output is naturally - Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue came to the ancient country they wanted to go to by mistake.

Obviously, this is just a thin inference, but it is really possible.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid their current situation is not very optimistic." Zheng Xiaofeng said with a straight face, and the two of them were not interested in eating anymore for a while.

Cheng Ruxue said: "I can only hope that our idea is wrong." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng sneered bitterly, muttered for dozens of seconds, and quickly made a set of preset arrangements in his brain according to the current situation.

"I think there are two things that we need to do right now." Zheng Xiaofeng said, "First, it is to confirm as soon as possible whether there is really an ancient civilization here, only by confirming this, can we make reasonable preparations and arrangements for the next action, and second, it is to find Dong Que's whereabouts as soon as possible, it cannot be ruled out that they are now experiencing a life and death crisis, and they are in urgent need of our help." ”

Cheng Ruxue nodded and agreed very much, and if you want to achieve these two things, the way is undoubtedly the same, that is, the two of them have to investigate whether there are any clues around.

The first direction that Zheng Xiaofeng could think of was of course the location where the backpack was parked before, and the two of them walked under the tree again and observed more carefully.

It's a pity that there is still nothing to discover, Zheng Xiaofeng is unwilling, and the two of them take the tree as the center and spread into the distance little by little.

Snow is still snow, woods are still woods, it feels like this is really just a natural world, before they thought that the light of the polar night was not too dim, there was moonlight and aurora, it didn't affect anything at all, but now they immediately felt how unfriendly this dim is, everything is half-clear in the eyes, and it always takes several glances to confirm whether there is anything in the end.

Zheng Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel upset, he knew this, it was better to be comfortable floating on the sea all the time.

At this time, Cheng Ruxue suddenly screamed, as if she had discovered something on her side.

Zheng Xiaofeng hurriedly ran over, it was more than ten meters away from the place where the backpack was staying, Cheng Ruxue froze there, stretched out her hand, and motioned for Zheng Xiaofeng to look at the ground.

When Zheng Xiaofeng saw it, his expression was shocked on the spot.

On the snow, a series of footprints appeared out of thin air, only four or five meters before stopping, and there was no continuation around there, and the shape of the footprints was also extremely outrageous, the size was very small, the shape of the five fingers was distinct, at first glance it looked like a baby left.

"Damn, isn't it? Don't tell me it's freezing here, and there can still be children? Zheng Xiaofeng was very surprised.

Cheng Ruxue also reacted for a while before relieving herself and asked, "Could it be some primate similar to a human?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng shook his head, signaling where he knew the answer, but at this moment, an extremely subtle and imperceptible voice seemed to float into the ears of the two people from a long distance.

"Hee-hee-hee...... Hahahaha......"

"Hee-hee...... Hahaha......"

At first glance, it sounds like a child's laughter.

The two of them went numb in an instant, and the sound was so fucking sudden.

It's just these two bursts, and then the sound stops, it sounds ethereal, it feels faint, although it's laughter, but in such darkness, it's really creepy, what is it like in a horror movie, what the sound is like, generally in horror movies, the appearance of children is not a good omen.

The two of them took a few steps back uncontrollably, shaking their heads back and forth to look, but the sound came from that direction, and they didn't feel it clear at all, and the two of them looked at it for a long time and found nothing.

"Your uncle's ...... Is that really a child's laughter......" Zheng Xiaofeng asked without confidence, and Cheng Ruxue replied in the same tone: "How can I be sure...... But it does sound like ah......"

The endless woods became eerie in an instant, and children could pop up in such a ghost place? Ghosts don't believe it.

Unless that's a ghost in itself.
