Chapter 497 Returning to the original place
Jiang Chen and his group walked carefully in the smoke, and suddenly heard the familiar sound of breaking through the air again.
"Whoosh!"
At the same time as the voice sounded, a shadow rushed out of the fog and attacked Bao Xiaorui directly.
"careful."
The smoke here was thick and the visibility was too low. Almost when they discovered something unusual, the shadow came so close to Bao Xiaorui that many people present did not react. Even the person involved, Bao Xiaorui, was stunned.
land.
At this critical moment, a ray of sword light arrived first, directly facing the shadow.
Jiang Chen turned around and saw that the person wielding the knife was none other than Ling Yuebin, who was next to Bao Xiaorui. He saw that he had swung the machete in his hand and struck the incoming shadow with great precision.
But what is surprising is that the shadow turned around strangely in mid-air and disappeared into the smoke again.
Only then did others react.
"Just now......"
They all just saw a black shadow rushing out of the smoke. Before they could see clearly, the black shadow disappeared into the smoke again.
"I didn't see clearly what the black shadow was. When I saw it attacking, I raised my knife and faced it. I didn't expect it to escape," Ling Yuebin said.
"Brother Ling, thank you so much." Xu Yushu quickly thanked Ling Yuebin. It seemed that his previous choice was the right one. It was indeed extremely safe to be with Ling Yuebin.
"It's okay. Everyone, you must pay more attention. The reaction of that creature is too fast."
After Ling Yuebin finished speaking, everyone cheered up again and walked forward.
Perhaps Ling Yuebin's actions just now scared the creature in the mist, but the creature did not appear again during the rest of the trip, which surprised several people.
Moreover, these people never encountered any living creatures or were attacked again.
So, after a while.
"Eh? Why do I feel something is wrong?" Hu Tai said with some surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't tell what's wrong, I just feel a little weird."
"What's weird? It's weird that we walked for so long and didn't encounter anything." Xu Yushu replied.
Everyone nodded in agreement to Xu Yushu's words.
Except for the initial attack they encountered, they didn't find anything unusual. Their journey was so peaceful.
"Is there nothing down here? Isn't it too peaceful?"
Xu Yushu continued to chatter, completely forgetting how frightened he was when he was attacked by that creature.
Just when he was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by another voice.
"Huh? What is this?" Fu Pengcheng, who was walking on one side, suddenly spoke.
Fu Pengcheng suddenly felt as if his feet had kicked something while he was walking. Under the confused eyes of several people, he knelt down and picked up something from the ground.
"This is... gauze?"
What Fu Pengcheng picked up from the ground was a piece of blood-stained gauze. After taking a look at it, he handed the gauze to a few curious people.
"Is it really gauze? The blood stains on it haven't dried yet. Is there anyone else here?"
When the gauze was handed to Yu Han's hand, she spoke directly.
"There is no one else. This piece of gauze is the gauze I used to bandage Ning Chun before. You can see from the blood stains on it that there are two wounds."
"I'm sure this piece of gauze was on Ning Chun's body before."
"Ah, it turned out to be the gauze that Miss Ning used before. I thought it was someone else..."
This sentence was only spoken halfway before he stopped. At this time, everyone present was stunned.
They had been rushing straight ahead, how could they encounter the gauze thrown behind them?
A bad feeling came into everyone's mind.
"I was just telling you why I always felt a little weird before. It turns out that we are back to where we were before." After Hu Tai finished speaking, he walked out of the crowd and walked towards the cliff, and then went back along the cliff to search. Soon after
He discovered the rope hanging from above.
After a while, Hu Tai returned to where everyone was and told others what he had discovered.
"We're really back where we started."
"How is it possible? We have been heading forward along the cliff, how could we have returned to the starting point?" Several people exclaimed.
"You guys think, could it be that there is just such a big place under Hell Bay, and we have already gone around in a circle?"
"That won't happen." Ling Yuebin analyzed calmly, "Judging from the topography of Hell Bay, there can't be such a big place down here."
"It should be that the strange environment down here affected our perception and judgment, which made us turn back."
After listening to Ling Yuebin's words, Hu Tai suddenly asked.
"Then what should we do? We can't just draw a circle here, right?"
"Let's change the direction." Ling Yuebin rubbed his forehead, then pointed in the opposite direction to the cliff and said, "We have always walked along the cliff before, let's go in this direction this time."
"good!"
Everyone once again formed a row and walked towards the direction pointed by Ling Yuebin.
Since the creature in the smoke did not appear again, the group of them hurried on a lot faster.
Soon, the group saw the marks they had made before, and they returned to the place where they found the gauze.
"how so?"
"We were walking with our backs to the cliff, and we actually walked back the same way?"
"What a hell."
As soon as the word "ghost" was uttered, a sense of fear suddenly arose in the hearts of several people present.
At this point, everyone turned their attention to Ling Yuebin, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Yuebin pondered for a moment and then said.
"Everyone, I don't have a good solution for this situation. All the instruments here have failed, so we can only rely on ourselves to explore the path bit by bit."
"But, Brother Ling, no matter how we go, we will eventually come back here. How can we explore the road?"
"Conventional methods will definitely not work." Ling Yuebin said, "Judging from the current situation, we can only divide into two teams to explore the way."
"Split into two? Then how do we split?"
Everyone present turned to look at Ling Yuebin.
