listened to Zhao Yan's words. The crowd fell silent. Even Qingchen didn't open his mouth. Just looked at Zhao Yan. Eyes twinkle. It seemed to want to pass through Zhao Yan's calm and waveless face. See something.

It was getting darker and darker. And it's harder to see around in the forest. Fortunately, they were prepared. Bring enough fire folds. didn't plunge everyone into a desperate situation in the dark.

After a long time. Everyone only heard Qingchen speak in a low voice: "Maybe." I should trust him not to hurt us. ”

These words were clearly heard in the silent forest. Just when everyone didn't understand what Qingchen meant by this. Tomorrow, who was standing beside Qingchen, looked up in amazement. Look at Qingchen's face. Jump in the firelight. With a hint of melancholy. And with a hint of happiness. I seem to understand something.

"The landlord. Whether or not to follow the route provided on this strip of cloth. Overnight on the road. "Tomorrow will be the sound. Break the silence. asked.

Qingchen glanced at Tomorrow. Only then did he speak: "Zhao Yan's analysis makes sense. If the other party is trying to kill us. You don't have to go through that much work. He left this strip of cloth. It's just to make us choose. It's about believing in Him. Still is...... Stay in this woods and live in the woods. And then left to fend for itself. ”

"What the landlord meant. It's about believing in this strip of cloth of unknown origin. Mingyue asked.

"Let's go. This is a miasma forest. It's no ordinary jungle. Although you all have the antidote pill given by Huai Jin to protect you temporarily. But I've been here for a long time. No one can say what will happen. Qingchen said. "Luckily, we brought enough candles and fire to walk at night. Let's go now. ”

Qingchen's voice fell. The crowd immediately straightened up. Just like before. Stand in batches around the dust. Follow the pace of dusting. The direction is chosen. Walk towards the front.

Mingyue is the person in charge of intelligence in the Star Picking Building. It is sensitive to all kinds of road maps. So she took that strip of cloth. Compare the route drawn above to show the people the way. Tomorrow will follow Qingchen's side closely. for protection.

Luo Jin carried Zhao Ruofei on his back and followed behind Qingchen. Then came Nightfall and Huai Jin. The two take care of and protect each other. This was followed by Zhao Yan and Yu Tianqi. After Ning Chen was broken.

That's it. A group of 10 people checked the route on the strip of cloth. Each person has a fire fold or candle in his hand. Walking through the dark. They have a fast walk. Whether it's Nightshade, a person with a wounded leg. is still Huai Jin, a weak woman who doesn't know the slightest martial arts. There were no complaints.

Because they all know. The jungle in front of you was dark. But it's only the trees that block the sun. It's not really nightfall yet. Once after nightfall. Deep in the mountains and dense forests like this. The direction of the wind will change. Then they hadn't taken the route they had set before entering the jungle. It will be because of the sudden change in the direction of the wind. And it went down the drain.

I don't know how long I walked. The bright moon suddenly stopped. I looked ahead. I looked at the map in my hand again. Then he turned to Qingchen and said:

"The landlord. The route drawn on the strip of cloth. Only so far. But we haven't fully stepped out yet. The road ahead. I don't know which way to go. ”

Qingchen heard the words. Take the strip of cloth from Mingyue's hand. Let the people raise the fire a little higher. Then he looked around. I couldn't help frowning. Mingyue was right. That's really all the map has to offer. And yet where they are now. Out of the direction they had just come. There are three other directions to choose from......

Just when the crowd was silent. The same sound as before reappeared. Strips of cloth wrapped in pieces of iron fell at Qingchen's feet. There was a strange noise. Let everyone come back from the silence.

"The landlord. It seems that there is another clue. "See you tomorrow. Pick up the strip of cloth from the duster's feet again. Open it and see. But it's the second road map. pointed out the direction they were going to go next.

"The choice has been made. Then keep going. Look at the people behind the scenes. What the hell do you want to do. Qingchen's eyes shrank. So said. Then let Tomorrow hand over the strip of cloth to Mingyue. The group moved on again.

This happened three times. Whenever they come to the end of the clue. When you can't find the direction and the right way. This mysterious piece of iron will appear in time. Wrapped in strips of cloth that had taken them out. Give them clues to get out there.

They had no doubts. This man is hiding from them. Follow them forward. But this line of people. Whether it is martial arts, such as Qingchen and Luo Jin. Or a night death that is excellent at tracking. Or tomorrow or Ningchen, who is good at defense and vigilant...... No trace of this man was found.

It's like. This piece of iron appeared out of thin air. There was no warning. And the man who threw the piece of iron. There was no breath either. Let everyone have to doubt. If it weren't for the fact that this person was so strong in martial arts that he was good at hiding his aura. That's the man. It simply doesn't exist.

The doubts in my heart are getting deeper and deeper. But Qingchen didn't say anything. Others are not easy to ask. Moreover. Up to now. The path they took. There was not a hint of danger. And even in the middle of this dense forest. It also feels not much different from walking on flat ground outside.

Time flies. When everyone looks up. When I saw a bright moon appear in the sky overhead. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Because they know. Finally came out. There are no more leafy trees overhead that block the sun and moonlight. Because they see the sky clearly. and the moon and stars in the sky.

"Finally came out. Looks like this guy really didn't lie to us. We're finally out of this damn miasma forest. Mingyue was the first to speak. There was excitement in his voice.

"I don't know who this person is secretly helping us. This forest is terrible. If there is no way out of him. We may still be spinning in circles. It's also possible that they spent the night inside. Yu Tianqi said. "If only let me know who the people are helping us. I will definitely kowtow and thank you. ”

"Everybody is tired. Find a place to take a break. It's out of the woods. We don't have to rush to the road. Let's get some rest. Qingchen didn't have any opinion on the things that were guiding the way. Rather, it is said.

"There's a clearing in front. Back to the mountain. Wind. I'm going to get some firewood. We'll be there for the night. Nourish your spirits. Hit the road again tomorrow. Ning Chen pointed not far ahead. So said. After getting permission to clean up. Turn away. It's time to pick up branches.

Everyone else was idle. Walked in the direction that Ning Chen had just pointed out. Find a place to sit down. Waiting for Ning Chen to come back.

Qingchen has been since he walked out of the forest. It was very silent. Except for the sentence just now. And he said nothing more. Just took the few strips of cloth that pointed the way from Mingyue's hand. Look closely.

I didn't look closely. Now take a closer look. Qingchen only found the road map on these strips of cloth. It's all drawn in blood. In the midst of this barren forest. No one carries pen, ink, paper, and inkstone with them. Not to mention. The man was still following them in the shadows. Whenever they couldn't find their way, they threw out a strip of cloth. The most convenient is naturally to bite your fingers. Draw such a picture with blood.

Occasionally, a night breeze blows. Qingchen clearly smelled a burst of blood coming from the strip of cloth in his hand. She seemed imaginable. The one who showed them the way when he saw that they had no way out. He immediately drew this road map with his own blood. Because it's not been long since I last received it. The smell of blood on the strip of cloth had not completely dissipated.

"The landlord. What happened to you. What happened. "Huai Jin has been with Qingchen for the longest time. I saw that something was wrong with the dust cleaning for the first time. So he asked sideways.

"It's nothing......" Qingchen shook his head. Staring at the strips of cloth. But there was a throbbing pain in my heart for no apparent reason.

That's when it happened. Qingchen seemed to feel a gaze fall on him. She looked up unexpectedly. Look towards the source of your gaze. saw Zhao Yan's flickering and evasive gaze.

Qingchen's heart moved. remembered what Zhao Yan had said when he refuted her in the forest before. The doubts in my heart suddenly deepened.

Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu are different. Zhao Yan used to be Xiao Yi's secret guard. Every time I get to the surface. All wore human skin masks. When pretending to be Xiao Yat. So Zhao Yan's words have never been much. Commands to the master. I have never objected or refuted it so categorically. But just now......

Just now. She had clearly chosen not to believe the strip of cloth. But Zhao Yan was at that time. Tell her. The route drawn on this strip of cloth is credible. And so swearingly. And for good reason. She couldn't believe it. And it turns out. Zhao Yan's speculation is correct. This guy who shows them the way behind the scenes. It really didn't lead them into another desperate situation. Instead, he walked out with them successfully.

But. Why is Zhao Yan so sure that this cloth strip is credible. Why was he so sure they were going along the line on the strip of cloth? You will definitely be able to come out.

Unless...... He knew something. Or...... He knew where the strip came from.

Moment. Thoughts are surging in my head. The world is spinning. Countless thoughts came out of Qingchen's heart. The truth that seems to have been touched, but no matter how hard you try, there is still a layer of truth. Just like that, in front of her. A stone's throw away. But out of reach.

Because. All doubts. All the incomprehension. In the end, it all became a name. Yat Siu.

Zhao Yan is Xiao Yi's secret guard. Xiao Yat uses people's means and abilities. She believes. can endure in the enemy country for ten years without attacking. can put a light smoke green willow under Xiao Ling's nose that specializes in inquiring about information. This mind and ability. How is it mundane?

So. It is impossible for Zhao Yan to betray Xiao Yi. So the various behaviors that Zhao Yan is showing now. Isn't it all related to Xiao Yat. Zhao Yan firmly believed in the route proposed by this guide. It shows that Zhao Yan knows who this person is. Knowing that there will be such a thing. Also stated...... This person. It could be Yat Sha.

After figuring out a few things. Dust removal is no longer evasive. Look directly at Zhao Yan. I sighed in my heart. When I was in the capital of southern Xinjiang. The last time she and Xiao Yat met. She felt that Xiao Yat had something to hide from her. Now...... It's also time to talk to Zhao Yan.
