The fat man chuckled, "A team with mixed feelings. Now the fat man is very doubtful whether we can really find the Bronze Gate in the future."
Wu Xie looked at the pale lake full of ice and exhaled a white breath, "Go back and wait, he will definitely come back."
The two returned to the Lama Temple with guns in hand, closed the wooden board, and went up to the second floor. They saw Zhang Haixing standing at the window with half of his body leaning out, carefully observing the window lattice.
When Feng saw the two people coming in, he quickly came over to greet them with an uneasy look on his face and asked in a low voice: "Where is Mr. Bai?"
"Bai Ci has returned to Kangbalo. We can't leave tonight. We have to wait for him depending on the situation." Wu Xie raised his chin toward the window, "What is she looking at there?"
Feng turned his head and looked over, an imperceptible darkness flashing through his eyes, "Miss Zhang was checking to see if the black shadow that flew away before left any clues."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Haixing turned around and waved to them, "Feng, come and see what kind of animal scratches these are."
Wu Xie and the others followed him and asked curiously: "What did you find?"
"The claw marks of sharp beasts." Zhang Haixing pointed to a wooden board on the window lattice.
There are two sets of very clear paw prints on the wooden board, which are slightly smaller than human handprints. Each set has four, three are longer than the front and one is shorter than the back. The shape is scattered and gathered, and the two ends are sharp, like two clusters of knife flowers.
Carved deeply into the wood.
The pineapple lattice wood used in the construction of this lama temple has been specially treated and has extraordinary toughness and strength. Even if you scratch it with a knife, it will take a lot of effort to make such a deep mark.
The fat man stretched out his arm, stretched his fingers and traced the direction of the claw marks. The tips of the five fingers were aligned together and he retracted them. Then he raised his little finger to the side and stared at the four fingers aligned thoughtfully.
Within a few seconds, I heard him hiss, "Oh my God, do you think this mark looks familiar? Where do we usually see similar marks like this?"
Wu Xie also made gestures with his hands as he did, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, "There are only four toes, and the only ones we usually see are...chicken feet!"
The fat man snapped his fingers proudly, "That's right, if it weren't for chicken feet for this special trace, I would not eat sweet and sour chicken feet for a year."
Zhang Haixing gave him a speechless look, "Who cares whether you eat chicken feet or not? Open your eyes and take a look. Have you ever seen chicken feet as big as a human hand? Those must be fucking phoenix claws."
The fat man looked at Zhang Haixing with disdain, with a hopeless expression on her face, "Fat Master, I just said this shape looks like a chicken foot, I didn't say it is a chicken foot."
"Even a long-tailed pheasant cannot fly to such a high-altitude snowfield. In my opinion, such a big mark must be a large eagle or some other raptor."
"Are you right, Comrade Dung?" The fat man pulled Feng, associate professor of animal science, to prove it to him.
Feng was already immune to his nonsensical name. He nodded and said: "These are indeed the claw marks left by eagles or falcons. They are the only ones that can fly freely on the snowy plateau. But apart from this trace, there are no traces left."
Otherwise, I can analyze more detailed information."
Zhang Haixing ignored the fat man's scowling eyes and said: "Looking at the paw prints, that raptor must be quite big. The only ones that can grow to such a size and be domesticated in cold areas are spears."
Falcon, also known as Haidongqing in the folk saying."
"Domesticated?" Wu Xie grasped the key point of her words and said suspiciously, "Ignore whether this bird is a sea turtle or not, how do you know it is domesticated?"
Zhang Haixing sneered and explained calmly, "Bai Ci quickly broke the window and jumped into the lake after hearing what Hai Dongqing was doing. It was impossible for Hai Dongqing to go into the water. Assuming that his goal was to catch Hai Dongqing, then there was no way he could
You have to jump into the icy lake."
"So that sea turtle must have been domesticated and flew here to report the news to Bai Ci." Zhang Haixing said with certainty.
Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other and felt that what she said seemed to make sense.
So, Bai Ci saw Hai Dongqing flying in mid-air when the window was broken. If it was a gyrfalcon domesticated by the Kangbalo people, then he would definitely be able to recognize it as a messenger falcon.
, the messenger falcon lost something in the water, so Bai Ci chased the thing and jumped in.
Bai Ci was concerned about the safety of the Kangbalo people. After receiving the message, he immediately used a method unknown to Wu Xie and others to go directly to Kangbalo from a secret route in the ice lake.
This is what makes Zhang Haixing very dissatisfied. She feels that Bai Ci has hidden too much from them. Since they are a team and their goals are the same, any channel information should be shared.
"We will rest here temporarily tonight and set off early tomorrow morning." Zhang Haixing patted Feng on the shoulder and said, "This time your star map will come in handy."
Wu Xie frowned, "You mean, we can't wait for Bai Ci?"
Zhang Haixing sneered, "I am the leader of this team. He who leaves the team without authorization has no regard for everyone's safety and mission. There is no need for us to wait for him."
"Even if you are an old woman, you have a lot to do. Why, when I go back to my home, I still have to report to you." The fat man said displeased.
Zhang Haixing was angry at first, but then immediately reacted. His suspicious eyes turned around Wu Xie and Fatty, and he probed: "How long have you known each other? What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into you? Is it worthy of you two to defend him like this?"
"
The fat man reacted quickly, and immediately rolled his eyes disdainfully at Zhang Haixing, "Just because of his face, I find him pleasing to the eye, fat man. Why, besides, he was so naive before we set off."
The bodyguards you hired with the money haven’t really worked yet, so we can’t let the money go down the drain.”
Zhang Haixing didn't care whether the fat man left or not. The focus she wanted to pay attention to was Wu Xie. She looked directly at Wu Xie with a hint of threat in her tone, "Whether Bai Ci comes back tomorrow or not, we have to set off. You
You know, although it is inconvenient to take you away, it is not very difficult for me."
"After all, we still have to cooperate, and I don't want to make things too ugly." Zhang Haixing glanced at the fat man with an arrogant expression, "As for this noisy fat man, I have plenty of means to shut him up forever."
Hearing what she said, Wu Xie suddenly turned cold and pulled out the pistol on his waist, "You can try it!"
Before the fat man put down the gun on his back, he threw it in his hand to pull the bolt and load it. The muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at Zhang Haixing. He raised his eyebrows and said with an angry look, "You want to cause trouble, right? Then let's see if your arrow is fast.
