Although the future is unknown, at least it is safe for now, so a few people feel relieved.

 But when we go further, we can’t help but feel uneasy.

 Not long after walking, they encountered a fork in the road.

Several people looked at Lin Wu in unison.

Lin Wu was about to ask which way to go: "..."

Fine.

Lin Wu knew nothing about both sides, but since someone had passed by before, she tried to see if she could find any traces of the previous people, so she told a few people to look for them together, so that the chance of finding them would be greater.

  I really found it!

“Miss Lin, come here quickly!” Bo Wu suddenly said excitedly.

Lin Wu turned his head.

 Bo Wu squatted in front of the stone wall on the right until he reached a notch.

They all went over and saw a shallow cross mark made with the tip of a knife in the notch.

“This is the mark Jiuye is accustomed to using!” Bo Wudao said.

Lin Wu’s eyes brightened slightly, “Are you right?”

Bo Wu nodded excitedly.

 “Let’s go!” Lin Wu took this road without hesitation.

About ten minutes later, they encountered another fork in the road and found the same sign, so they followed it.

It’s so complicated here that you encounter more and more forks. Some intersections even have four or five different openings. Halfway through, there will be other openings on the stone wall, leading to other directions, like a honeycomb nest. It extends in all directions.

More and more marks were found, and You Yuan asked: "Did he expect that someone would come in to look for him in advance, so he left those marks?"

Lin Wu didn't even think about it: "He is always cautious. Even if he can go out, he will leave a mark so that he can leave next time."

You Yuan asked unexpectedly: "Then, have you memorized the route?"

Lin Wu paused.

"You didn't." You Yuan frowned, "Weren't you very careful in the past and trying to remember the places you walked just in case? This time you relaxed after seeing the mark left by that person?"

 Zheng Yuan and Bo Wusi glanced at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu took out the compass and said, "...I'll start taking notes now." He drew a mark on the wall with his knife.

 You Yuan’s brows were still furrowed.

Recalling his general impression of Bo Yuting along the way, he suddenly asked Bo Wu: "What kind of person is your master?"

Bo Wu was flattered.

This is the first time that Master You Er has paid attention to him so far. He has to answer well!

“My master is naturally wise and mighty, one in a million, outstanding, extremely intelligent…”

You Yuan said calmly: "It doesn't look very good, so it needs to be embellished with so many adjectives."

"?!" Bo Wu hurriedly said, "No, no, no! My master is very nice, but I am short of words! But no matter what, there is one thing you can rest assured as head of You Er. My master definitely cares about Miss Lin. See Miss Lin wanted to catch her at first sight. If Miss Lin wasn't still young, the master would definitely get the certificate first..."

As a result, his words hit You Yuan's minefield.

You Yuan interrupted again coldly: "It's really not that good. Xiaosi is so young, but he actually...is interested in him at the first sight, and is superficial."

 Bo Wu: “?!”

What an injustice!

 That’s not what he meant!

Zheng Yuan, Zhao Fang and Chen Qin quickly lowered their heads to avoid being seen holding back their laughter.

Lin Wu couldn’t stand it anymore: “Second brother!”

You Yuan chuckled.

Lin Wu hurriedly urged him to leave.

With what was said just now, the atmosphere became much lighter. The tensed nerves of several people who had walked for too long and not yet reached the end were slightly relaxed and their spirits were lifted.

However, they followed the marks for more than three hours and still could not see the end. The marks seemed endless and they could not find them all.

 The three of them were even hungry.

Lin Wu estimated that it was already morning, so he asked a few people to rest where they were, eat something, and regain their strength.

 The place where they stopped was at an intersection.

Lin Wu looked at the mark he had just found, then looked at the compass whose direction had changed several times, and called Bo Wu over.

“Are you sure this is also the mark left by Bo Yuting?”

"Of course, Miss Lin, you see, the end is hooked and the carving is slightly deeper. This is Master Jiu's habit. The long carved end of the stone refers to the path that Master Jiu walked." Bo Wu said.

Lin Wu looked at him and thought about it, and said: "But why do I feel that I have seen several marks that are exactly the same as it not long ago, with the same size, length and notches? The marks that Bo Yuting can draw are generally not bad. ?"

Bo Wu said without thinking: "Yes, Master Jiu is familiar with this and can carve it very well. It's not surprising. Besides, the marks found along the way are all in different locations on the stone wall. Even if they are all looking for the same one, they are circling. , and it’s impossible for the location to be different.”

Too.

But Lin Wu still found it strange when he thought about it.

 Because if the person who came in with Boyuting was Jian Chonghe, Jian Chonghe would not be able to stay here for too long, otherwise Bai Jing and Bai Ning who were at the Zhangjiacun B&B at the time would notice his absence.

Judging from this, Jian Chonghe would not have been walking in these passages for so long.     Otherwise, he would not have enough time to go in and out of Blackback Mountain.

 So, something is still wrong.

Lin Wu thought about it, turned around and said to a few people: "You guys rest here, I'll go take a look at another unmarked road."

 You Yuan stood up and said, "I'll accompany you."

 Zheng Yuan also stood up.

Lin Wu refused, "I won't be gone for too long and will be back soon."

"Otherwise, I suspect that something is a little weird here, so I went to explore the unmarked road. But I am alone and can only take one way. Second brother, Zheng Yuan, you can take the other two."

“Bo Wu, take Chen Qin and Zhao and wait here.”

"We have a limit of twenty minutes, and we will meet back when the time comes. If any of us don't come back by then, or none of us come back at all, you can go find us separately. We will leave a mark to show you the way."

After a pause, she added: "Don't get lost. If you encounter too many forks in the road and you are not sure you can go back the way you came, just go back. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to find people behind you, and you may even be in danger and never be found. .”

 You Yuan and Zheng Yuan nodded.

Bo Wu and three others also responded.

Lin Wu stood up and the three of them entered each cave entrance.

 The stone paths here are all the same, quiet and dark, rugged and winding.

Lin Wu carefully observed his surroundings, but he arrived at the end within a few minutes and saw a fork in the road with two branches.

Lin Wu looked at each other and decided to go to the right.

 But before going in, Lin Wu suddenly stopped at an inadvertent glance!

She quickly stepped back, and on the mountain wall below, a cross mark appeared, pointing to the path she was taking!

 She followed what Bo Wu said and determined that it was the mark of Bo Yuting.

However, Bo Yuting never took this road at all. The last mark he left was the fourth road that no one took just now!

 So there is something wrong with this mark!

 But why did Bo Wuhui say that it was undoubtedly the mark left by Bo Yuting?

 Looking back at what I said earlier, I found that the marks I saw from the beginning to now are almost the same. They were indeed made by the same habits and carvings.

But just like what she asked Bo Wu just now, she felt that the marks she saw several times were exactly the same.

 It was just a different location, so I didn’t think much about it.

Lin Wu frowned, her thoughts turning rapidly, and an idea that shocked her quietly emerged.

 Could it be that... they have entered the range where foreign objects from the sky are entrenched? ?

Maybe the marks they saw at the beginning were real, and the subsequent marks were illusions created by extraterrestrial bodies based on the existing marks, but in different locations to confuse them.

 Is that why she thinks what she sees is better?

Lin Wu immediately turned around and went back.

 She didn't walk far and soon reached the original entrance of the cave.

However, as soon as Lin Wu went out, he saw no one!

 She looked around.

 The four paths are correct.

The sign at the fourth intersection is also correct.

Where is that person? ?

 “Bo Wu? Chen Qin? Zhao Fang!”

Lin Wu shouted several times, but there was no response. Only her echo echoed in the stone path, and it was eerily silent.

It seemed as if at this moment, she was the only one left in the stone path of the huge Black Bei Mountain!

Lin Wu waited for a long time, but there was still no response.

 Her heart sank.

 Can't wait here.

Lin Wu turned around, preparing to go to You Yuan or Zheng Yuan first to check on their situation.

However, Lin Wu had only taken half a step when the sound of inappropriate footsteps suddenly sounded in the empty and quiet stone path behind him!

Lin Wu paused, then touched the gun with one hand and held the short knife tightly with the other hand.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer.

Lin Wu closed his eyes and turned around.

 See the person coming into sight at a glance.

But there was no tension as expected, and Lin Wu was stunned for a moment.

 “How, how could it be...you...”
