Chapter 348: Deliberately
"We can't get out!" Dai Yi became a little emotional because of his nervousness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I used to follow the marks marked in advance, so that I would not be disoriented again and again and smoothly through the misty forest, but now that the marks are gone, we can't get out!" The thin old man felt that he couldn't stand everyone, and he knew that he had no way out, and the thin old man also looked down on life and death, but his heart was full of guilt for everyone. has always been full of confidence, but now the thin old man has a low head, and he no longer dares to look at everyone.
"Here, your carved dragon jade pendant ......" The thin old man took out the piece of jade from his arms, handed it to the sword washing scholar in person, and said in a low mood, "Since I can't take you out, I can't take this piece of jade under my hands." Sure enough, you still said that you have to live to be able to enjoy Baoyu. Now I'm trapped in the forest, and I'm almost not far from death!"
The sword washing scholar didn't say a word, whether it was advice or comfort, but his face was still so indifferent, and he took the jade pendant that belonged to him with one hand.
"Hey, what about my silver ticket?!" Seeing that the thin old man who picked the door took the initiative to hand over the priceless jade pei, Allah, who was standing in front of the right side of the sword washing scholar, asked for the guide fee he had contributed before. Regardless of whether he lives or dies, the silver ticket of the thousand taels is his own or his own, and he must take it away when he dies.
"You silver ticket ......" The thin old man's confused eyes looked at a ruthless insincerity, his hands instinctively protected his chest, and under the palm of his hand was the silver ticket of several thousand taels. Although facing life and death, the old man still had a glimmer of hope in his heart that he could live. As long as he can get out of this forest alive, the large amount of silver tickets he still carries in his arms is enough for him to live well, and the thin old man does not want to return the silver tickets.
"What?!, don't give it yet......" Wuzhen's eyes widened and he glared angrily, and his mouth was full of cruel words.
"You promised that as long as I succeeded in leading you over the Dead Mountain, the silver ticket would be mine. Now, I have fulfilled my original promise, of course this silver ticket is mine, what reason do you have to come back to me again!" The thin old man stretched out his palms to protect his silver ticket, and said very reasonably.
"You ......!" Since Wuzhen was dumbfounded, no matter how much Wuzhen tried to quibble, but the thin old man was also telling the truth, and Wuzhen could only hold back the fire he wanted to spill back to his heart again.
"Okay! now is not the time to argue about money!" Ling Feng roared solemnly, not glancing at Ling Feng or the thin old man, but cautiously and slowly walked to the big tree behind the thin old man, carefully studying the thick trunk of the big tree, wanting to see what the "crime scene" where the mark disappeared looked like and what the mystery was.
"How is this place marked like this?!" Ling Feng asked curiously as he carefully touched the trunk of the big tree that could be seen clearly with one hand.
"Well, my mark used to be clearly engraved on the trunk of the tree, but now it's so scratched that I can't see it clearly. The thin old man turned around and walked over to Ling Feng, discussing the marks on the trunk with Ling Feng.
"You don't just have a mark, do you!?In this fog, you will at least have a mark every other distance, otherwise how can you walk out step by step!" Zhao Hu took a small step earlier, came to Ling Feng's side, looked at the scratched marks on the trunk, and asked the thin old man with a reminding tone.
"Of course not!" replied the thin old man, without even thinking about it. "The route I had taken successfully through the forest was not a straight line, so I marked each tree with directions: straight ahead and I marked a straight arrow, left and I marked an arrow to the left, and the same is true for the other directions. Then follow the correct direction for fifteen steps, and I will mark the next mark until I am out of the forest. But now I couldn't tell which direction the mark on the tree was pointing in, so I couldn't go any further. The thin old man explained in detail the importance of the direction of the road.
"How can you be sure that there is a mark you made on this tree, and you have already walked fifteen steps from the previous mark?" Dai Yi didn't count his steps carefully along the way, but wanted to hear what the thin old man had to say.
"Well, we've walked a hundred and fifty steps since we entered the forest. The nine marks that passed ahead were all normal, but this is the case here!" replied the thin old man very clearly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the scratches on this trunk are obviously man-made, more like someone with a sharp dagger in their hands!" Ling Feng touched the scratches on the trunk with his palm, and reasoned according to his thoughts.
"Man-made scratches?!Ling Feng, how are you so sure?!" Feng Wuchang, who had been guarding his position, became a little puzzled after hearing Ling Feng's inference, and the other people were also confused.
"The trunk is not only thick, but also tight, as is the bark. Again, this is a foggy forest, and it is unlikely that the average large animal will survive in such a forest because there is not enough food here. As far as I know, no animal has a claw that is so sharp. Moreover, it is impossible for an animal to have such a clear purpose to claw on the trunk of a tree just enough to cover the mark. With all that said, I'm sure it's all deliberate. He has only one purpose, that is, not to let the treasure hunters who come into the forest successfully out of the forest. Ling Feng reasoned very rigorously.
"No, it should not be allowed to let any of the teams behind leave the forest alive!" the indifferent sword washing scholar added at this time, and everyone felt even more desperate after hearing it.
"Supreme, there is one thing you said wrong...... the thin old man looked at Ling Feng very seriously and said seriously, "The reason why it is dangerous to lose your way in this forest is not because you are trapped inside. It is because there is indeed an animal in this forest that we ordinary people are difficult to hostile, it is not only fast, but also violent. Because they don't have enough food sources, they sometimes eat the weaker ones of their kind. Occasionally, a few treasure hunters pass through the forest, and that's a rare delicacy for them. Now we're lost, maybe they're already staring at us somewhere, waiting for us all to disperse, and then they're ...... in groups."
"Don't, don't say it...... The more I hear from you, the more panicked my heart becomes, and now it's better to think of other ways to get out while the danger is still coming and the sky is not completely dark!" )
