Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 26 The Invisible Man

Lao Yan took out his camera and took a photo of the footprints, then said with a sullen face that the footprints appeared too strange, and he had to be careful next time.

I looked at the footprints and said slowly after a while, "Look, do these prints look like green leather rubber shoes?"

Lao Yan slapped his head: "Don't say it, it really looks alike, so it seems that the person walking past is really a person?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, anyway, I haven't heard of any zongzi wearing rubber shoes, but if this thing is human, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to deal with than zongzi.

Lao Yan's excited face immediately became sluggish, he breathed out and said that he could only take a step forward, at least people are afraid of guns.

I nodded, that's all I can do now.

"Chang'an, why haven't you come back, kid?"

Company Commander Chen suddenly yelled, Lao Yan glanced at him, then shook his head and said that Lao Chen didn't know when he would change his bad temper.

I had no choice but to explain that Company Commander Chen was afraid that something would happen to me because of my father's last wish, and told him not to worry about it.

Lao Yan shrugged off the footprints and waved his hands: "How can I not know his temper? Come on, you go first, and he won't come to me for a fight. By the way, don't tell anyone about finding the footprints." , During this period of time, they are probably scared out of their wits, so don't make any more fuss."

I nodded, seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lao Yan, so I returned to Company Commander Chen. He stared at Lao Yan vigilantly, and then asked me what Lao Yan asked me to do in the past.

"It's nothing, just to study the water source." I made an excuse at random, but Company Commander Chen obviously didn't believe it, so I couldn't help it if I didn't say anything. In the end, I just sighed, which gave me a sense of proportion.

We rested for almost two hours before Lao Yan came to let us start again.

"Where is the water source?" Company Commander Chen frowned. We are running out of drinking water, and if we don't replenish it, we probably won't last for two days.

Lao Yan pulled his arm along the direction of the dry river bed, and said that it should be in the upper reaches of the river bed, but he didn't know how far it was, so he had to walk around to see.

I saw that the direction was wrong, and Lao Yan explained that it is important to find water now, and it is enough to find the water source and then go back.

Company Commander Chen didn't speak any more, and the poisonous snake was even more silent.

I couldn't help but feel a headache. The atmosphere has been like this since I came out of the tomb. They still can't get over that hurdle in their hearts, but the more this time, the less we can have internal conflicts!
So I patted the poisonous snake on the shoulder, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Maybe we can find Professor Yu by walking along the river bed. He must be slower than us by himself."

The poisonous snake nodded noncommittally, and Lianchang Chen sneered and said that he still doesn't know if Yu Chengze is a human or a ghost?Don't find him when the whole army is wiped out.

"Old Chen, you are not interesting." Lao Yan frowned and said, "Accidents can happen in the desert at any time. It doesn't matter if you and I are at odds, but don't lose the chain at a critical moment."

Company Commander Chen snorted, but didn't say anything, and everyone fell silent again.

I shrugged helplessly, and didn't try to persuade them anymore, after all, Company Commander Chen and the poisonous snake didn't accept such weird things as well as I did.

Lao Yan didn't say anything anymore, and walked in the first place silently.

But I noticed that he was looking for something along the way, walking very slowly, and stopping from time to time to take pictures with the camera on the ground, but when I looked over, there was nothing but sand in the places he took pictures...

I was a little curious, and just about to go up and ask, Company Commander Chen grabbed my arm: "Tell me honestly, boy, are you interested in those things?"

I rubbed my head, smiled and said, "You also know my father..."

"That's why your father died!" Company Commander Chen growled, causing the poisonous snakes beside him to glance at him.

I fell silent for a moment, what he said was right, if my father didn't understand this aspect, he might still be alive and well now.

Chen Lianchang sighed and said: "Chang'an, I also know a little about your family's affairs, maybe you will inevitably walk on this road in the future, but if you have other choices, I hope you think about it carefully, and live a lifetime in peace and stability. It's a blessing!"

Listening to Company Commander Chen's words, I took a deep breath: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life."

He glanced at me, then patted my shoulder, pointed at Lao Yan's figure and said, "You go."

I hummed, and took two quick steps to catch up with Lao Yan in front of me.

I knew in my heart that the reason why Company Commander Chen told me so much was because he understood my thoughts. Even though the things in that aspect were terrifying, they were inexplicably attractive to me.

Ever since I entered the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, I seemed to be fascinated by these things. When my father passed away, I followed Company Commander Chen to the army, and I would study them from time to time.I thought I had nothing to do with all of this, but the appearance of Lao Yan made my mind active.

After catching up with Lao Yan, he glanced at me, and then smiled: "What are you doing with me, aren't you afraid that Lao Chen will grab your ears?"

"He won't." I said casually, "What are you looking for along the way?"

Lao Yan's face was a bit tangled, and it took him a long time to change the subject bluntly, asking me if I felt that the past two days were too peaceful?
"Couldn't you be calmer?" I shrugged. "It's not calm after all. Didn't I just find that weird footprint."

Lao Yan nodded, and then he still had a troubled expression on his face, saying that he always felt that something was wrong, and asked me to be more careful next time.

"Do you think that footprint belongs to Yu Chengze?" I asked suddenly.

Lao Yan was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Your boy is indeed a bit of a ghost. After seeing the footprints, I thought about it. Apart from us, he is the only one on this road, but if it is him, it is too unbelievable..."

But I disagree, if it was Yu Chengze, he should avoid us, there is no reason to attract our attention.

Lao Yan exhaled, and felt that what I said was reasonable, but his tangled expression did not improve.

We walked along the riverbed for a day, and in the evening we camped on a flat place near the riverbed. I shared a tent with Viper, and Lao Yan shared a tent with Company Commander Chen.

Company Commander Chen was not happy at first, but Lao Yan dragged him and said he had something to discuss, so he sneaked in with a dark face.

The poisonous snake and I were sitting outside the tent, muttering, what does Old Yan want to talk behind our backs?

The poisonous snake said blankly: "The conflict between them must be solved. I suspect that the company commander was fooled by Lao Yan, otherwise the reaction would not be so big."

It made sense to me, I figured that Lao Yan didn't even explain the danger of this trip clearly, otherwise Company Commander Chen wouldn't let me come.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a heated argument in the tent. Company Commander Chen yelled for a long time, but was finally persuaded by Lao Yan.

I smiled at the poisonous snake, and he pointed to the river bed not far away and asked me, can we really find the water source if we walk this way?
I was about to say something, but I heard a strange movement, as if something passed between us.

I lowered my head and looked in the middle, my scalp suddenly went numb.

Another footprint!
But this time I couldn't hide it, because the footprints appeared strangely beside the poisonous snake. One second the poisonous snake was still talking to me, and the next second there were several strings of footprints between us, stretching forward go……

I watched the footprints stretch little by little, and then suddenly disappeared, and my face suddenly turned pale.

The poisonous snake was not much better, he slammed aside, raised his gun and fired two shots, but they all missed.

"what happened?"

Lao Yan and Company Commander Chen ran over, and the former asked with a sullen face, but he didn't need me to answer, he had already seen the footprints on the ground, and his face suddenly changed.

I told him about the appearance of the footprints, and he immediately took out the camera from his bag and compared them with the photos he took before, and then nodded at me: "It's the same one."

"What do you mean is the same? You have discovered it before." Company Commander Chen exploded.

I hurriedly said that we didn't take it seriously at the time, and I didn't expect it to appear again.

Company Commander Chen naturally didn't believe it. If Lao Yan didn't take it seriously, how could Lao Yan take pictures?But he didn't say anything, just looked at the footprints with a sullen face.

Lao Yan took a picture of the newly appeared footprints, and said with a bad face: "It seems that thing has followed us."

Our hearts sank when we heard this. It can be said that this thing passed between me and the poisonous snake. The poisonous snake's reaction was fast enough, but... the bullet still missed. Can this still be a human?
Lao Yan and I looked at each other, and both became suspicious of the previous speculation. If it was a human, how could it have such a weird ability? If it wasn't a human, what would it be?
