"During the tracking process just now, if there is no one in the team who can smell the smell, or if I haven't tracked the smell, is there any other way to track it?"

While continuing to explore along the river, Yu Yueming did not waste time and seized the opportunity to ask his seniors for advice.

"That smell is still within the scope of human beings' smell. Moreover, after experiencing some dungeons, veterans can basically train their own way of investigating. I will explain this in detail after the dungeon. This dungeon may be difficult for you novices, but it is still acceptable for veterans."

Lin Qiushuang explained, and took out a bottle from her bag at the same time.

"Actually, I have prepared this and equipped with lumino reagents. Although the previous search and rescue team failed to track blood stains, using this can at least allow us to follow the blood stains to the riverside. However, with your sense of smell, this is useless."

This is well prepared, but is this available in ordinary search and rescue equipment? Yu Yueming asked in confusion.

"I prepared it myself." Lin Qiushuang didn't explain much.

"What about after crossing the river?" Qi Yuanze also asked, "You can't use this reagent after crossing the river, right?"

"You can still smell the smell, but that is the worst. After all, people's sense of smell is not keen. Generally, we rely on experience to observe. For example, we just moved forward based on the residual smell, and the luxuriance of the plants on that path is somewhat abnormal. The plants have traces of recent growth, the branches and leaves are very new, and there are differences from the plants next to them."

"In other words, the man actually chose a road without any obstacles to escape. After he passed, the plants and trees grew out for some reason and covered the road. All we need to do is to observe this?"

Yu Yueming recalled and found that this makes sense: in the man's self-report, he was running away at the time, so he had to choose a path he could take, and the road with prosperous plants and trees was obviously not suitable for humans to pass.

"The reason for the growth of plants may be related to the sacred tree or its variation. In addition, the man turned into no plant growth around the tree, and the color of the trunk and the characteristics of the trees are also different from other trees around. These are clues that can be used to judge its abnormality."

"What is the normal way to do after discovering the abnormality?" Yu Yueming asked, and looked at Qi Yuanze next to him.

Anyway, it is probably not the correct answer to just slashing with a knife.

"..." Lin Qiushuang was silent for a moment, "I can see what you want to say, but there are indeed many veterans who will attack directly, but I don't recommend that novices do this."

Are they really so reckless? Yu Yueming was also silent.

"Normality, we will try to communicate first." Lin Qiushuang added, "However, after encountering this kind of monster, most of the results will start a war, so many people are more willing to take the lead. If you make a mistake, you will find a way to remedy it."

It’s not unreasonable. Yu Yueming thought, then suddenly sniffed and smelled the faint breath of the sacred tree fruit.

At the same time, Lin Qiushuang also spoke.

"Look, there are signs of heavy objects moving on the river beach in front."

She pointed to the strips on the gravel-covered river beach, reminding the newbies.

"According to the previous clues, the target has become a tree-like monster. Do you see these traces very much like the drag of the tree roots?"

Lin Qiushuang patiently pointed out the less obvious traces to the newcomers, and at the same time taught them how to judge which side is the direction of the goal based on the depth of the traces.

"The opportunity is rare. Do you want to try to track forward yourself?"

This was indeed a good exercise opportunity, and both novices nodded happily. So, this time Lin Qiushuang was placed behind the team, and Qi Yuanze took a knife to open the way in front.

Yu Yueming did not use smell this time, but based on previous teachings, he tried to use vision to judge the traces of the target's walking.

Under the premise of being clearly guided, he soon noticed the differences Lin Qiushuang mentioned before: at the location where the traces disappeared, the plants were obviously higher than the surrounding area, and the stems and leaves of those plants were brighter green, and the tangled vines were also brand new green. There was a significant difference from the bushes next to which were mixed with many dry branches and broken leaves.

Qi Yuanze was not very skillful in waving the knife and communicating with Lin Qiushuang about the skills of using the knife.

Yu Yueming did not follow the path he cut open this time. He was like a real wild animal, drilling into the dense bushes and trying to find a suitable place to stay.

The thick fur easily helped him block the branches and leaves that were enough to cut through human skin, and the memories of the body in the depths of his mind slowly emerged. These advantages allowed him to quickly adapt to the movements in the wild, making his movements that seemed clumsy at the beginning quickly become agile. Although he did not dare to run in such dense bushes, ordinary walking was no longer difficult for him.

After walking for about twenty minutes, a tree with the same shape as the previous dead tree appeared in front of them.

The two stopped outside the attack range of the dead tree vines.

——

"Since you said you want to communicate first..." Yu Yueming took a look at it, and estimated that there was about ten meters between them and the dead tree, so he chose to increase the volume and shouted, "Hello! Can you hear it?"

He waited for a while, but the dead tree in front of him did not react at all.

"I remember you mentioned before that NPC doesn't understand what you said, right? Let me try it." Qi Yuanze took over this task and used his hand to compare the shape of a trumpet in front of him, "Ms. Wenle—? Can you hear it—?"

After a while, there was no reaction from the dead tree.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but look back at Lin Qiushuang who was following behind. But the other party just stood leisurely behind them without giving any suggestion.

Qi Yuanze touched his chin seriously: "I still think that slashing first is the correct communication model."

Yu Yueming glanced at him: I have made a mistake just now, why is this person still thinking about going up recklessly?

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately changed his subject after the next sentence, and looked at him with great anticipation: "It's time for you to show off. Dog, come on!"

Yu Yueming:???

He showed his fangs with a bad expression: Brother, I will give you a chance to reorganize your language.

Qi Yuanze spoke again without changing his face: "Brother Yu, please demonstrate how we should communicate correctly."

This person is really good at changing the situation, but is it necessary to act like this? Yu Yueming was speechless, and he really couldn't figure out the character of this teammate.

However, after all, the task of finding Wenle has nothing to do with Qi Yuanze. At the critical moment, he should indeed deal with it himself.

Although he knew that NPC could not understand his words, Yu Yueming still shouted out his identity and purpose with the idea that it would be no harm to practice.

"Ms. Wenle! Can you hear it? We are the search and rescue workers invited by your sister Wenjing to find you and Mr. Cui Chengjie!"
