Chapter 69 Adventures in Snake Valley (05)

Agui was stunned for a moment, and after carefully looking at the surrounding situation, his expression changed: "This...we have been here before!"

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyi sighed, "Yeah, we're in trouble."

"What do you mean? Have you been here?" Li Siming looked around, no matter how he looked, it was strange.

"It's just that the direction is different. We have come here from different directions. This rocky hillock is strange." Si Xuanyi pointed to one direction, "Over there, we came in that way before, and it was when we first entered here , take a closer look."

Not only Li Siming, but Liang Rong and Ma Zhong also focused their attention on that side. After a closer look, they found the clues. The big rocks looked familiar. Li Siming frowned and rushed over desperately. After the jump, it was there, and there were still some muddy footprints on it, which they left behind.

"How could this be?" Liang Rong said solemnly, "Could it be that we have turned back unknowingly?"

"It's not considered turning back, but we are indeed going in circles here, and this rocky hill seems... to be a circle!" Si Xuanyi took a deep breath and tried to calm down his already agitated heart.

"No..." Liang Rong also rushed over to check the stones, "We are not lost, but were tricked by these stones." She pointed to the stones and said, "This is the road we took, That's right, I remember very clearly, at least as far as we can see, we walked in a straight line, and the turning happened unconsciously, it is unlikely to be formed naturally, it may be... artificially designed, so this should be Not exactly a mudslide."

"Human wages? How could anyone come here? In the barren mountains and wild mountains, no one has been here for hundreds of years." Ma Zhong didn't quite believe what she said.

"It's really impossible. How could there be someone here..." Speaking of this, Si Xuanyi stopped suddenly. He suddenly thought of the things that Agui said just now, the descendants of the ancient Dian kingdom?is it possible?Could it be that they did this stone formation?
Li Siming and Liang Rong had already returned, and none of the three spoke. They also thought of this question, did people from the ancient Dian Kingdom really come here?Isn't that all a legend?Of course, these have not been confirmed, everything is just speculation and inference, if they want to solve this problem, they must find out as soon as possible whether this place is artificially set.

"I don't quite believe it." Li Siming said, "If so, how did James and the others get there?"

"Yes, look for the mark. If they can pass here successfully, there must be a mark nearby." Si Xuanyi patted his thigh, "Ah Gui, hurry up."

Agui nodded and immediately started searching. In fact, they had already searched the area and found nothing of value. Now they just searched again, and this time they expanded the scope of the search.

Jumping up and down on the rocks is very exhausting, but the only advantage is that it is clear at a glance whether there are snakes on the bare rocks. It is much safer than the grass and piles of rotting leaves. It took them nearly an hour to find the next mark. Judging from the direction of the guidance, it is still the depths of the Chaos Formation. At the same time, they also found that this is the place where they started to go back unknowingly before. direction.

"Although we have found the direction, it's still unknown whether we can go out. It's getting dark, so it's really troublesome." Si Xuanyi looked at the jungle that had begun to darken and shook his head gently, "It's too much to spend the night in this kind of place." It's dangerous."

"We have to get through it. Let's find a place to stay. Don't wait until it's completely dark." Liang Rong said.

Si Xuanyi nodded: "Ah Gui, find a suitable place."

It was difficult to find a campsite in this canyon full of poisonous snakes. Now they are trapped in a stone circle. This place is really not suitable for rest. After searching for more than an hour, they barely found one or two boulders. The gap formed by leaning together is quite spacious inside, at least it can accommodate all of them to get in. Agui lit a bonfire outside the gap, which is considered their campsite tonight.

"This place is good." Li Siming tried the soil layer inside with a bayonet, and it was soft enough to dig. "It can be enlarged." After he finished speaking, he took off his helmet and used it as a tool to dig the soil. Others rushed over to help when they saw it. , who doesn't want a comfortable place to sleep, it's ten thousand times better to be in a hole than to be outside.

In this way, they dug a large enough hole here with the help of torch lighting. Although the soil inside was loose and damp, it was safe enough, which was more important than anything else.

The excavated soil was piled up in the gap at the entrance to form a barrier, with ventilation holes on it, and several straw bales were used to plug it, so as to prevent things from crawling in and maintain air circulation. At the outermost point of the hole, Agui A small fire was set up for lighting, and after a few people ate something, they lay down on the ground covered with thick withered grass and prepared to go to bed. The space was relatively closed, and Si Xuanyi only arranged for a sentry, who changed every two hours. Keep an eye out for movement outside while watching the campfire.

Agui said that the smell of smoke from the campfire could cover the smell on their bodies, and there were snakes everywhere, so it was unlikely that anything would attack them.

The first shift is Ma Zhong. The reason why he is assigned to be the first to be on duty is that this guy is lazy and stupid. He will always be in a sleep state when he wakes up after falling asleep. What role can it play? Everyone in the first shift will not sleep too much, and two hours will pass quickly, so it should not be difficult for him to complete this task while he is awake.

Ma Zhong sat on the edge of the fire with his gun in his hand and stared at the gaps piled up with mud. This is a boring task, but it is also a task that is life-threatening for everyone. Playing a certain role in the team is not just a cook and a drag, but he has been unable to achieve his goal all the time, and he is also very helpless.

In fact, guarding is a very tedious job, and here we can only watch a gap. Ma Zhong soon became sleepy. In order not to let himself fall asleep, he started smoking. The seized cigarettes were not many, and everyone only shared one or two. Only, now there is only half of his hand left, and he will be fine after smoking. He can only keep pinching his thigh to wake himself up, but in the end he still fell asleep, but he couldn't sleep well because of something in his heart. In a daze, he seemed to hear some voices, and woke up immediately. When he raised his head again, he found that the soil on the gap had been parted at some point, and a big black hand was stretching out from the outside. Come in……
