If it was an accident that they went wrong the first time, anyone would think it was strange if it happened the second time.
Even Tan Kai, who had previously been disapproving of this, could not help but his face flickering in and out, and his head was covered in cold sweat.
"This...how is this possible..."
Bairentu's expression could not help but have a strange look on his face. He glanced at the huge forest with a blank look on his face and murmured, "The snowy mountain forest where I fled was even bigger than here, and the terrain was more complicated. In the end, I still didn't
I have lost my direction..."
"We are obviously moving forward, how could we go in circles?!"
Kang Jinlong frowned and said in a deep voice, unable to figure out the reason.
"Captain He, what do you think... is going on?!"
Tan Kai couldn't help but asked Lin Yu.
"I don't know either……"
Lin Yu shook his head gently, looking into the depths of the woods with burning eyes, thoughtful, as if he couldn't figure out for a moment what strange mystery there was.
"What's going on? It must be that his sense of direction is wrong and he didn't lead the way well!"
Baili suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "I will lead the way this time. I just noticed the characteristics of these trees. There is a difference between the south-facing side and the north-facing side. Follow me and you will be fine!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the depths of the woods with his head held high.
Everyone looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on Lin Yu, asking what Lin Yu meant.
"Follow him again!"
Lin Yu said in a deep voice, and then took the initiative to follow him.
"Let me see how you lead the way!"
Bairentu glanced at Baili coldly, feeling extremely unconvinced, and turned around to follow him.
When everyone saw this, they quickly followed. They all wanted to turn on the flashlights, but Baili stopped him, fearing that too much light would interfere with his judgment.
As Baili walked, he carefully observed the texture of the trees on both sides to prevent mistakes, so he walked extremely slowly.
Jiaomujiao still insisted on carving numbers on the tree trunks, but this time he changed the form of the numbers and used Chinese characters like "one, two, three, four, five".
When he was carving words, he would occasionally see scars on the tree trunks that looked like marks. It might be that other people had mistakenly entered the forest and were unable to get out, so they chose the same way to mark the path.
However, the scars on the trees are relatively old, which shows that they are relatively old.
"Captain He, we have walked back to the starting point twice now and wasted two or three hours!"
Tan Kai quickly followed Lin Yu, lowered his head and said solemnly, "This means that the distance between us and Ling Xiao may have become wider and wider..."
At this time, Tan Kai suddenly realized that compared to the fact that they could not get out of the woods, what was more serious was that the distance between them and Ling Xiao was getting wider and wider as time passed!
"Yes, Captain He, if we continue to waste our time like this, I'm afraid Ling Xiao will have already come into contact with Xuanwu Xiang's people!"
Ji Xun also frowned and said with great concern.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Lin Yu said in a deep voice while scanning the dark woods, "Just think, when we came in just now, we saw the dead old forest ranger and the footsteps on the ground. This also means that the path Ling Xiao and the others took,
There won’t be much deviation from the path we are taking. Just imagine, if we can’t get out, will they be able to get out at once?!”
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Tan Kai and Ji Xun's expressions perked up.
yes!
The weirdness in this forest is not specifically for them. If they can't get out, then Ling Xiao and others may not be able to get out either!
Even if Ling Xiao and the others came early, tried many times, and walked out, I'm afraid it would still take a huge amount of time!
So at least as of now, the gap between everyone is still not big!
"But, we have walked around so many times, but we haven't found any of their footprints?!"
Tan Kai frowned and said worriedly, "All the footprints we see are those we have stepped on before!"
"Yes, if they are also going around in circles, they must have made a lot of footprints, but why didn't we notice it?!"
Ji Xun suddenly came back to his senses at this time.
Lin Yu frowned and said solemnly, "Maybe they are not following us in a circle!"
"Not a circle?!"
The expressions of Tan Kai and Ji Xun could not help but change slightly, and they looked a little confused.
"I seem to have seen some clues!"
Lin Yu squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, glanced around sharply, and said in a deep voice, "But I'm not sure yet!"
Tan Kai and Ji Xun's eyes lit up when they heard the sound, and they looked excited, but they did not dare to speak for fear of affecting Lin Yu.
After they walked along for about fifty minutes, Bai Rentu, who was walking in front, suddenly said coldly, "We're back! We're walking back again!"
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the sound, and they looked up suddenly. They saw that the front was densely covered with footprints that they had stepped on, and the bark on the trees had also been peeled off. One of the trees had the number "1" written on it.
.
Everyone's heart trembled and their expressions were dejected.
However, the previous feeling of panic was no longer there, just a sigh of helpless disappointment.
"This is where we first found the stone tablet!"
Jiaomu Jiao's expression perked up when he saw the numbers he had carved. He glanced left and right and said urgently, "Look, the stone tablet is still there!"
"This is the way you lead!"
Bairentu made a cold sound and sneered at Baili, "It's nothing more than that. It wastes even more time!"
Baili's expression was extremely dark, his eyes kept changing, and he was obviously a little surprised.
Tan Kai frowned tightly and glanced around with a flashlight. Then his expression suddenly changed and he said urgently, "Look, what is that in front of you?!"
