Chapter 138 Disappearing Footprints
At this time, there were bursts of noisy sounds around us, and our nerves were tense for a while, but when we heard the sound clearly, we breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed to be the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, accompanied by bursts of insects, and occasionally a few shrill screams of wild cats, just like a baby crying.
Seeing that the riverbed was finally alive, I was immediately relieved. This was a beautiful night.
However, Ma Rulong beside him did not look relaxed at all.
When I saw his look, I didn't dare to relax. Could it be that there was some murderous intention hidden in this place?
After continuing to drive for a while under the moonlight, the white fog finally dissipated completely, and our eyes could now clearly see the surrounding environment.
Compared with the previous river bed, the environment in front of us has undergone earth-shaking changes. Looking from a distance, we can see clusters of huge bushes.
There was also a strong earthy smell and weeds were everywhere.
The weeds on one of the roads fell to one side, as if someone had stepped on them not long ago!
"Be careful. The area of these bushes is larger than the old forests in the Northeast. This kind of place is the most dangerous, and the smell of soil is too strong, which will cover up the scent of many wild animals." Wang Yuanchao said to me and the fat man.
I nodded. These bushes were indeed exaggeratedly big. Looking from where we were standing, some bushes were so tall that they almost covered the moon in the sky. I really rarely see such huge bushes.
If there is any wild beast hiding in a place like this, we won't be able to find it at all.
Along the way, there are gradually more and more weeds and some low trees around. Walking here really gives the illusion of entering a primeval forest.
"Look at the ground, where did all this dirt come from?" the fat man said, grabbing a handful of dirt.
I squatted down and took a look, and found that we seemed to have been walking up diagonally from just now. The ground was not flat soil, but silt piled up layer by layer.
However, the silt seemed to be very compacted. I took out my engineer shovel and shoveled it, and found that the silt was not soft, and it would take some effort to shovel it off.
"The road we walked was very clean before, but so much silt has accumulated in this place. It is possible that before the Yellow River dried up, the river water kept washing the silt to this place, and it took many years to create such a forest!"
I thought about it and said.
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Just like when dams were built in rural areas in the past, the trees at the end of the river often grew the most luxuriantly. That was because the water flow kept washing fertilizer and soil to the end, providing a good environment for the trees.
living environment.
I suddenly thought, so this is the end of the Yellow River?
At this moment, Ma Rulong picked up the telescope and kept observing the forest without speaking.
On the contrary, I felt a little uneasy. My guess was probably correct. If Ma Rulong still decided to move forward, it would prove that we had found the location of the dragon's tail in "Thirty-two Words of Yu".
Moreover, the location of the Water Dragon Burial is definitely not far from us. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become a little nervous.
"Keep going forward, keep the previous formation, you two are exploring the way ahead!"
Ma Rulong pointed at the fat man and Wang Yuanchao and said.
"Oh shit."
I couldn't help but curse secretly, this old guy is still using us as cannon fodder at this time.
I thought that after several battles, Ma Rulong's attitude towards us would change, but now I realize that I was overthinking it.
In his eyes, we are the ones who stepped on the thunder.
Among us, the man in the suit is the most agile. It is actually the best choice to let him explore the road ahead. Although Wang Yuanchao's detective skills are good, but with the burden of the fat man, once they encounter any situation, both of them will be trapped.
into danger.
"You don't have to go."
Ma Rulong glanced at me and said calmly.
"Sorry, I never hide behind my friends like girls." I walked towards Wang Yuanchao and Fatty coldly.
"Whatever you want."
The man in the suit whistled and then said with a smile.
Kathleen glanced at me, but she didn't speak.
I felt a little chill in my heart. Who are these guys? They are just like cold-blooded animals. Even when Xiang Hu died before, they just treated it as if it was a dead dog, and did not show any sadness at all.
And Kathleen, a little girl who looks like she is underage, except for saving me before, is even more ruthless than Ma Rulong in other aspects!
I can see now that she will only save me when things go her way, just for fun. But if I really encounter any serious danger, she will definitely leave me alone, that's for sure.
The three of us walked in front. Wang Yuanchao walked very slowly, making us stop and observe carefully from time to time.
At this moment we had completely entered the bush, and the insects around us were making ridiculous noises, which affected our judgment of danger to a certain extent.
There were small pools of water everywhere under my feet, and water dripped on my face from time to time. It seemed that this place was extremely humid.
"Be careful, you can't find the footprints of the people in front at all, and we don't know where they came from, and you can't smell the smell of blood." Wang Yuanchao suddenly waved his hand, his brows filled with solemnity.
The quieter it is, the more likely it is to hide murderous intent!
Anyone who goes hunting in the mountains all year round knows this truth, and we are no exception.
I looked at those small pools, and suddenly something flashed through my mind. It seemed that someone had mentioned water to me before, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
After digging through the pile of bushes, we found a quagmire in front of us. There was more water here, and the entire land seemed to be soaked in water.
We wanted to take a detour from other places, but found that there were thorny bushes on both sides and this was the only way we could go.
"Hurry over there, what's the ink stain on?"
The man in a suit cursed fiercely from behind.
"My back hurts when I stand and talk. Fatty, I wish you a son without a penis and a daughter with a long penis..." the fat man muttered in a low voice.
I found a stone and threw it into the quagmire to see how high the water splashed.
Fortunately, the splash was not big.
"It's almost one meter deep here. There should be no problem in terms of safety. Just be careful. In this way, Fatty and I will go there first. You, Yuan Chao, keep an eye on the back and alert us immediately if there is any danger."
I thought about it and said.
"Fatty man and I will go over there! You watch from behind." Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said, then stepped into the quagmire first.
"No, Wang Yuanchao, you are not kind. Why didn't you let Dingdang stay with you and leave Fatty on the shore?" The fat man suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he widened his eyes and shouted.
However, this guy only said a few words and quickly followed Wang Yuanchao into the water.
I looked at it with a telescope and found that the quagmire was not small, it was more than a hundred meters long.
Wait, water?
