"That's... Is that? ”

Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

In the perspective of sunglasses, except for the scorching sun hanging in the middle.

On one side, there is also a light blue sun as small as a bean grain.

He was sure that both were suns because they could see a distinct coronal halo.

Moreover, this brightness and visual size have also exceeded the scope of ordinary visual stars.

Taking off his sunglasses, Chen Xuan looked away and covered his eyebrows with one hand, and could vaguely see with the naked eye that there were two clusters of light of different colors shining on the earth.

These two types of sunlight, one strong and one weak, one main and one pair, may be some kind of binary system.

However, Chen Xuan's understanding of astrophysics is limited, and he can only make some superficial judgments based on appearances.

Then he took out the air thermometer.

The air temperature here is 21.4°C, which is several degrees higher than in the forest.

The overall body temperature is relatively comfortable.

After all, the two suns are at different distances, and the atmospheric molecules in the other world absorb solar radiation well, so that the solar thermal energy near the earth is relatively stable.

After a brief observation, Chen Xuan took out his mobile phone and took a video record in airplane mode.

Looking at the time, only about forty minutes have passed since the official departure.

Considering the physical factors, I simply bask in the sun here and rest.

Based on the principle of supplementation of small meals and frequent meals, he ate an energy bar and drank a few sips of water.

It was rare to find such a clearing in the forest, and Chen Xuan decided to explore the surrounding environment.

He took out a previously purchased drone from the storage compartment.

Since there is no network and GPS in the other world, the drone can only fly in manual mode or attitude mode.

A series of functions that rely on GPS and wireless networks will not be available, and only basic flight control operation can be maintained at a certain distance and altitude.

was in the dense forest before, and the probability of blowing up the plane after the release was much higher, so he didn't use it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan released a drone to shoot in the air.

His flight control skills are not very good, and he needs to be assisted by attitude mode.

Even so, the drone after liftoff is still full of dangers, with a big sideways movement from time to time, and the altitude hovers around 200 meters to 350 meters.

Thanks to today's unmanned automatic technology, it is relatively mature.

The captured footage is saved on a memory card and can be viewed later via a wired connection.

After more than ten minutes of tinkering, the drone grazed the edge and fell without danger.

Chen Xuan retrieved the drone, took out the thin and light laptop and connected it with the data cable, and checked the recorded footage.

The shooting of the aerial gimbal is fairly stable, with some shots in all directions.

The average flight altitude of more than 200 meters is equivalent to sixty or seventy floors.

Coupled with the ultra-wide-angle lens, the field of view is still quite wide.

Soon, Chen Xuan made a major discovery.

He saw what could be the boundary of the forest.

The location is easterly, about eight to ten kilometers.

It was as if a section of the forest had been cut off, and areas of vegetation were noticeably sparse.

It's not clear for a moment if it's a river or a border, because the horizon is too far away.

In addition, behind the sparse strip, you can faintly see columns of smoke that are suspected of cooking smoke!

Also due to distance, this part of the wide-angle image is very blurry.

As for the other directions, there are no major discoveries, and there are vast forests in all three directions, and in one direction there are rolling transverse hills.

It can be inferred that the location of the smoke column is the most likely place to have a settlement.

Of course, Chen Xuan could not guarantee the situation there.

Whether you'll encounter a sapient race or a ferocious and savage exotic monster...

Or is it something else?

No one dares to pack a ticket!

But no matter what, he should go, or that sentence, run away if the situation is not right.

"Whew..."

With a sigh of relief, Chen Xuan put everything into the storage compartment.

Again, I determined the orientation to avoid making a mistake, after all, there is still a big difference between the visual reference in the air and on the ground.

……

Four hours later.

Chen Xuan began to rest for the third time, his face was a little blue, and the sides of his forehead were covered with sweat.

There was also a hint of nervousness and wariness on his face.

The time on the sports watch has come to 7:18 p.m.

There is no sign that it will be dark in the other world.

It's just that the big sun in the sky has moved some distance to the west.

The shadows cast on the ground are also elongated.

The smaller Sun moves along a similar trajectory.

It seems that the daily rhythm of the other world is also different from that of the blue star.

The specific law still needs to be explored.

After replacing a new battery, Chen Xuan released the drone again to confirm the direction and correct the errors that may occur during the journey.

After only two or three flights, the drone was visibly damaged.

There are countless traces of abrasion on the casing and impeller, and it may be a problem sooner or later to blow up the machine.

The direction is correct, but there is still a distance from the destination, and the trek in the forest is not easy, the speed is not fast, and the miscalculation of the distance of the wide-angle picture is also partly a reason.

In fact, the location of the sparse zone is much farther than he estimated.

That is, the drone's wide-angle camera imaging quality is better, the weather conditions are clearer, and the reason for the overlooking height can capture the situation there.

In the past four hours, he has only advanced about five or six kilometers.

I didn't encounter poisonous insects and beasts along the way, but I found some things that were not good.

It all started more than an hour ago.

……

Along the way, he found several traces of unidentified biological activity.

For example, a bonfire covered in dirt that burns out for an unknown amount of time.

From the remaining plant ash, Chen Xuan found some charred tibia and fibula.

He didn't ink either, and directly activated [Insight] to check.

The hints I received were terrifying.

[The charred bones of a human female, aged 17 years before her death]

……

Apparently there was a cannibal feast here...

There's a good chance there's a monster nearby!

In addition, he found notched symbols left by sharp objects on some large trees, which seemed to be some kind of guidance.

The hints of these nicks under Insight are:

[A signpost left by the crypt monsters, pointing in the direction of the village]

……

"Monsters..."

"Pointing in the direction of the village..."

"It's really not a peaceful world, what's in the direction of the smoke?!"

"Is it a monster or a human village?"

Chen Xuan could only remain skeptical about this.

In addition, not far from the notch of the symbol, he found a fallen and rotten tree.

A remains covered in green moss were found next to the decaying tree.

The skeleton resembles a human in form, and the word approximation is used because it is distinct from human bones.

For example, it has a small skull, especially the narrow distance from the frontoparietal bone to the mandible.

There are almost no sphenoid bones, but the ethmoid bone in the eye socket is extremely deep, occupying nearly one-third of the bone surface, the pelvis is narrow, and the long bones of the limbs are relatively thin.

The skeleton is generally intact, the whole bone length is less than 110 cm, in other words, plus the soft tissue thickness of 5~8 cm, the height of this skeleton before its death is not more than 120 cm at most.

The rotten ribs were already filled with humus, and a rusted spear was stuck diagonally on it.

It was not a natural death.

When he used Insight, he finally got the answer.

[Inferior monsters, bones left behind by goblin swordsmen]
