C350 Mystery

Everyone followed what Zhang Jingxuan had said. They didn't want to waste any more time. They quickly followed the mark that Zhang Jingxuan had left and went back down to the bottom of the valley.

When they saw the cylindrical tree leaf that Zhang Jingxuan had inserted into the ground the previous time, they didn't know what to feel in their hearts.

The leaf could not walk on its own. Since they did not return to their original position, then the leaf must have been moved here by something.

In other words, there had always been someone or something lurking here. They were monitoring everyone. Then, before they walked out of the dense forest, he placed the marked leaf at a suitable location so that everyone would think that they had really returned to the place where they had set off.

Was this action to scare everyone away?

Or was it to separate them from the group and explore the area as Cao Qianwan had said earlier?

What kind of ghostly figure could this person be to make Zhang Jingxuan, Wong Beiming, and the others not notice him? Even Ke Lianguo, whose eyes and ears were many times more sensitive than ordinary people, could not sense him.

Everyone understood this point and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Fortunately, Lee Huanqing stopped Zhang Jingxuan from acting alone just now. Otherwise, who knew what kind of situation would occur. Under such circumstances, everyone being together was a great comfort.

Since they knew that there was someone or something behind this, although they were afraid of this ghost-like skill, but as long as it wasn't a ghost, these few fellows who feared nothing but ghosts wouldn't have such heavy pressure.

Let's do it again. This time, everyone displayed their respective abilities. As long as they looked after each other, it would be fine.

Entering the dense forest again, the red trees and yellow leaves were all so familiar. It was only because each and every one of them looked so similar that it was no wonder that everyone was unable to find the right direction as they walked. About seventy to eighty feet into the forest, Zhang Jingxuan did not look at the road ahead. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the golden leaves in front of him.

Ke Lianguo could not help but worry. Could it be that the enemy had been hiding above the leaf? No wonder he could not see the enemy through the leaf, but how could the enemy not make a sound?

Wong Beiming probably thought that he was old and did not have good eyesight. He was too lazy to think about it. At this moment, half of his energy was focused on taking care of the people around him. Once there was any sign of trouble, he could go up and save them, so as to prevent this brat from being careless.

Hee Jinfeng's eyes were firm. He looked forward and was mumbling something.

Cao Qianwan walked and walked. He lifted his head to look and lowered his head to draw something in his palm.

After taking a few more steps, Cao Qianwan raised his head and saw Zhang Jingxuan looking at him. He had a smile on his face. The two of them looked at each other, and Zhang Jingxuan nodded. Cao Qianwan understood and shouted, "Stop!" The whole team suddenly stopped.

Cao Qianwan knew that Zhang Jingxuan had also discovered the mystery, but it seemed like Zhang Jingxuan wanted him to say it, so he did not need to be polite.

"Everyone, just now I briefly analyzed the route we took for the first and second time. Assuming that everything has a pattern to follow, we will follow the same path twice. Then, according to the final destination, we will be able to get a rough trajectory. In other words, we thought that we were moving forward in a straight line. But in reality, as we walked, we made a huge arc, and not only was we unable to pass through the forest, in fact, we couldn't even get close to the core of the dense forest before we turned around and left. Look! "

Cao Qianwan pointed at the golden leaves on the top of his finger. "What are you looking at? Aren't these leaves the same?" Hee Jinfeng asked.

"Yes, I think the mystery lies in these golden leaves. Pay attention to the tips of these leaves, are they all pointing in the same direction? And this direction always seems straight and slightly outwards with a specific angle. Under the blood-red tree trunk and the golden shining leaves, the tips of these leaves are like a potential road sign. In fact, we have always been influenced by them, moving forward according to their directions. Then, without realizing it, we took a detour, and we will never be able to reach the place we want to go."

Everyone endured the dazzling light and looked at the leaves. Indeed, it was as Cao Qianwan had said. The veins and tips of each leaf extended in a direction that was slightly slanted to the side.

"Mr. Cao, you are really amazing! Then let's correct it. Maybe we will be able to reach the place we thought of, right?" Hee Jinfeng said, rubbing his fists because he could finally find the right path.

"That should be the case." Cao Qianwan nodded with a reserved look, feeling grateful that Zhang Jingxuan had given him the credit. It seemed that Zhang Jingxuan had thought of this before him, and it just so happened that he had thought of it as well. As a ruler, there was no need to compete with his ministers for credit. It seemed like he had really chosen the right person.

Everyone followed Cao Qianwan's method and changed the route. They deliberately moved forward at a small angle according to the direction pointed by the leaves. Sure enough, there seemed to be some difference this time. After walking for a distance, everyone felt the difference. Because the giant blood-red trees standing in front of them were clearly getting thicker and thicker.

It was imaginable that the closer they went to the center, the longer they saw the giant blood red trees. The giant trees in the periphery were their children and grandchildren.

The growth of the giant trees indirectly proved that everyone's path was right this time. Everyone had a trace of excitement on their faces, but at the same time, they also had some seriousness.

Since they had chosen the right path, it meant that the mystery was about to be unraveled. This time, what would welcome them?

The so-called homesickness was perhaps this kind of feeling. Because you don't know what you are about to face?

"Children don't know each other, where do they come from?"

This was already something worth smiling about. What he was afraid of was that his family, who he hadn't heard from for a long time, had already discovered the separation between Yin and Yang. His former childhood friend, Shan Youhai, had sworn an oath that his lover had already married into a woman. The little stream that he longed to revisit had already turned into a smelly ditch. It was impossible to guard against such a thing.

Therefore, it was hard to calm one's heart when one was in a close relationship with the village.

However, no matter what was waiting for you in front, it was not a reason for you to turn around and leave. Only by bravely moving forward and accepting everything that happened is a life that does not escape.

The giant trees in front of them were as thick as trees that three people could not even wrap their arms around. Ke Lianguo suddenly made a stop gesture, and everyone instantly stopped.
