Xiao Ti asked, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this mark?" ”

Yu Yuan pondered: "We deliberately changed the direction just now, it stands to reason that we should not return to the same place, there will be this situation, there are only two possibilities, one is that the mark has been tampered with, and the other is that our sense of direction has deviated." ”

In order to verify whether there was a problem with the mark, Yu ordered someone to bring a brush, dip it in ink and write a ghostly English sentence on the rock.

The people around couldn't understand what she wrote, and they were all at a loss.

Yu Yuanxuan threw the brush to Yeyu, looked at the English on the rock, and nodded with satisfaction.

"In this case, it will be difficult for others to imitate it."

The group continued with torches.

After walking a long way, they saw the string of English that Yu Yuan had written.

Yu Yuanyuan has the ability to remember, and after carefully comparing every detail of the English, it is exactly the same as what she remembers.

Now you can be sure that the mark is okay.

The problem is their sense of direction.

There are rocks everywhere, and they seem to be different, but if you look at them for a long time, you will find that they actually look similar, and it is easy to affect people's perception of direction.

Yu Yuan looked up at the starry sky above.

Perception may appear, but the stars in the sky do not deceive.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Ti and asked, "Do you remember which direction the sun went down from when we came here yesterday?" ”

The sun naturally set from the west, but Xiao Ti knew that this was not what she was asking.

He remembered it a little and replied.

"It's our left."

Yu Yuanyu: "Then we are coming from the north." ”

She pointed to the Big Dipper in the sky and continued, "Its location is north, and we should find a way out as long as we keep going in the direction where it is." ”

Everyone listened a little confused, and didn't understand how she came to this conclusion.

Xiao Ti didn't think much about it, and immediately gave the order to move in the direction where the Big Dipper was located.

The night was deep, and a cold wind was blowing through the cracks between the rocks, making a whirring sound, like a woman's cry at night.

On the way, they also found traces left by wolves, indicating that wolves had been in the vicinity.

Even though they were already tired, everyone still had to cheer up and be careful not to be attacked by wolves again.

This time, Yu Yuanyuan did not take the carriage, and she also chose to ride a horse.

She wore a thick cloak on her body, and every now and then she had to glance up at the stars to make sure she wasn't in the wrong direction.

The Eagle Guard, who was in charge of pathfinding in front of him, suddenly shouted.

"There's no way ahead!"

Yu Yuanxuan immediately drove the horses under him and walked forward with Xiao Ti.

They reached the front of the group, and by the dim starlight, they could see a rocky hill ahead.

If you continue to move forward, you will be dead.

At this time, Wei Xiao also rode over on his horse.

He looked at the rocky hill ahead and smiled.

"Princess Jun, your judgment seems to have been wrong, we didn't see such a hill when we came."

Yu Yuan didn't say anything.

At this time, she also had some doubts about whether she had made a mistake?

Xiao Ti turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the rocky hill, raised his hand and touched the rock wall, and then shouted at Yan Nanguan.

"Torch!"

Yan Nanguan immediately ran over with a torch.

By the light of the fire, Xiao Ti carefully observed the traces on the rock wall, and then squatted down to look at the sand on the ground.

Yu Yuanxuan also jumped off the horse, walked to his side, and asked.

"Did you find anything?"

Xiao Ti: "The sand on the ground must have been newly paved, and someone had been here before, so as not to be discovered, they took sand from elsewhere to cover the traces. ”

Yu Yuan squatted down and took a closer look, and it was true that the color of the sand on the surface was a little different from the sand underneath.

She reached out to pull the sand away from the surface, and saw two deep rut marks underneath.

"This should be the marks left by the carriage, and it should be loaded with something very heavy......

At this point, a guess had already popped up in her mind.

"This can't be the way they transport the stolen silver, right?"

At this time, Wei Xiao also leaned over, he squatted down to carefully check the traces on the ground, and said with a smile.

"Princess Jun, it seems that I have to retract what I just said, your judgment this time should be correct."

Xiao Ti ordered the Eagle Guards to sweep away all the sand and dust on the ground, and Wei Yu was not far behind, and the Sky Wolf Guards under him also joined in the cleanup work.

The sand and dust on the surface were all swept away, and the long rut marks were so clearly displayed in front of everyone.

They followed the rut trail and saw that it stretched to the foot of a rocky hill, where it came to an abrupt end in front of a boulder.

The Eagle Guards and the Celestial Wolf Guards worked together to move the massive rock out of the way.

A deep tunnel then unfolded in front of everyone.

Yan Nanguan led a team into the tunnel, they went to find out the situation first, and the others waited outside.

They didn't have to wait long, Yan Nanguan came back with people, and they all had joy on their faces.

"There is a way out!"

Hearing the news, everyone was in high spirits.

The team methodically entered the tunnel.

The tunnel was just wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to enter.

By the time they passed through the tunnel, the sky was already white.

Yu Yuan looked around and found that this was already the edge of the rock forest, and he could leave here as long as he walked a little further.

At this time, everyone invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

It's time to leave this hellish place!

After exiting the tunnel, the rut marks extend all the way to the road ahead.

There are often cars and horses passing by on this road, and the ruts on the ground are intertwined, and it is difficult to tell who is who.

There was a middle-aged man who was walking forward with Chai He.

He was startled when he saw a large group of people coming out of the rocky forest and shouted in the local dialect.

"How did you get out of this place?"

Only Xiao Ti could understand the Liangzhou dialect.

He also responded in Liangzhou dialect.

"Is there a problem here?"

The middle-aged man was also enthusiastic, and immediately made a big call to him.

Yu Yuanxuan didn't understand a word anyway.

Xiao Ti asked the middle-aged man to give a piece of silver and sent the person away.

He saw that Yu Yuan was looking at him curiously, so he took the initiative to explain.

"The man said just now that the place that trapped us is called the Devil's Cry Forest, where the terrain is complicated, if you are not very familiar with the locals here, it will be difficult to come out again once you enter, and there are wild beasts there at night, which will eat people."

Yu Yuanxuan suddenly remembered: "The group of squires mentioned the Devil Crying Forest before, is this what they are talking about?" ”

Xiao Ti bowed his head: "Well, legend has it that there is a yin wind blowing here all the year round, and you can also hear the cry of female ghosts, so it has the nickname of Ghost Crying Forest." ”
