Chapter 117, The Trap
"Is this where the car accident happened?" Feng Yao looked around, and there didn't seem to be anything strange.
Zheng Wenli took the two of them to a place not far from the town. Beyond that, there was a forest surrounding the road.
Looking forward from the car, the view here is not as vast as before, and there is an inexplicable sense of depression from here.
"Right ahead, there is a fallen tree with traces of being hit by a car," Zheng Wenli said.
The three of them walked to the place Zheng Wenli mentioned.
"This" he didn't know what to say when he saw the scene in front of him.
A small piece of forest here has been cut down.
Feng Yao also felt strange, why at this time?Is it a coincidence?
Lingling remained silent and carefully observed the surrounding traces.
"When were the trees here cut down?" Zheng Wenli looked at this small forest with a question mark on his face.
Only the small area closest to the road was cut down, and everything else was intact. Isn't this a bit strange? When they walked over just now, they hadn't noticed that all the trees here had been cut down, and the marks on each stump were still new. It looked like they had just been cut down not long ago.
Lingling looked at Zheng Wenli with complicated eyes. She always felt like this man was acting for them. While the two were still paying attention to when the trees here were cut down, Lingling walked alone into the woods on the other side of the road.
She lingered next to a big tree, while repeatedly observing the marks on the surrounding trees.
At this time, Lingling found some clues and alerted the snake. She very cautiously reached out and touched the traces on the tree.
There was a scratch mark of different shades on the tree. The scratch mark was very hidden, as if someone had done something to it. Until Lingling looked above her head, at first glance, she saw an obvious scratch on the branch above.
Then Lingling looked down at the ground again, and saw a very shallow trace on the grass that had not been erased.
At this time, Lingling took out a pack of powder from her backpack. This is the demon hunting powder used when hunting demons. It can be used to reveal the faded traces.
Open the demon-seeking powder and sprinkle it evenly on the inconspicuous marks.
Suddenly a human-like footprint appeared on the ground, and the demon-seeking powder gave off a faint light. This footprint has no sole texture or smooth outline, and looks like the footprints of a barefoot person.
Lingling took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the footprints, and then took a picture of the marks on the tree.
The light from the flash attracted the attention of Feng Yao and Zheng Wenli.
The two of them saw Lingling on the other side of the road and walked over to check.
Lingling also told the two people about the situation here.
"This is the trace I found here, come and take a look." Lingling said to the two of them.
Feng Yao and Zheng Wenli came over to check the traces Lingling mentioned.
The moment he saw the traces, Zheng Wenli was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very calm look.
"The wood has just been cut here. Is it normal for there to be footprints?" There was a trace of concealment in his tone.
All his words and deeds were noticed by careful Lingling.
Feng Yao also nodded, thinking this was normal.
Then Lingling didn't speak, just turned her gaze to the branches above her head.
Feng Yao also followed Lingling's gaze and looked at the top of his head, and immediately saw the scratches on it.
"What is that?" Feng Yao pointed out the scratches on the branches above his head? Zheng Wenli followed Feng Yao's gaze and was not too surprised when he saw the scratches on them. He just sighed that these two young people came from the city and had never seen the world. "Those seem to be scratches left by birds when they stay on the branches. It's nothing to make a fuss about." He said disapprovingly.
Feng Yao has been dealing with demons for two and a half years, if not three could tell at a glance that it must not be an ordinary bird or beast that left such scratches on the thigh-thick tree trunk.
What is this Zheng Wenli hiding? "Um, I'm a little anxious. I'll go and take a moment first." Zheng Wenli suddenly said to Feng Yao.
"Shall I accompany you?" Feng Yao said.
"No, I drank too much water this morning. I'll be right back." He refused.
Feng Yao nodded and paid attention to this.
Watching his back enter the deep woods, Lingling said:
"Go and see what he is doing. You didn't see him drinking water at all this morning. There must be something wrong with him!"
"Leave you here? In this wilderness," Feng Yao said with some worry.
"Don't worry about me, this is still a safe world. Even if there are monsters, I can barely cope with it." Lingling said.
"If you don't follow, you will disappear!" Lingling said hurriedly.
"Why are you running so far to pee?" Feng Yao also felt that something was wrong.
Then a silver star swirl appeared in front of Feng Yao, and the dimensional door was opened.
The sleepy little dragon girl came out of the dimensional space with a resentful look on her face, like a child who was angry about getting out of bed. "Little Dragon Girl, protect Lingling!" Feng Yao said to Little Dragon Girl and then turned around and disappeared.
He then ran the Shadow Star Vortex, turning into a flowing shadow and quietly following Zheng Wenli.
Zheng Wenli is just a strong ordinary person, and Feng Yao can easily keep up with him using his shadow power.
Feng Yao merged with his shadow and followed behind him. He didn't notice anything unusual and continued to move forward.
At this time, Lingling could no longer see his figure. Even though it was the morning sun, the depths of the forest were still full of desolation and gloom.
Lingling was attracted by the cute little dragon girl. She was floating in the air like a little mascot. She was much smaller than Lingling and very cute.
"Yin~" Xiao Longnu made a pleasant and ethereal sound.
Lingling didn't understand what it was saying, so she had no choice but to watch it hovering next to her. Feng Yao followed the shadow behind Zheng Wenli, and he stopped in front of a clump of lush grass.
Then he looked downcast and raised his head to face the big tree.
"I brought you the magician you want. Please let my brother go." He was pleading in his tone.
"!!!"
After Feng Yao heard this, he felt that his CPU was about to burn out. "Jie Jie!!"
"Very good, that man has a special aroma, and that little girl is not bad either, just right to my taste." came a penetrating voice.
"Your brother is deep in the woods. You will be in for a surprise when you go there~" a voice coming from somewhere said almost frantically.
"I hope you won't lie to me!" Zheng Wenli gritted his teeth and said into the air.
Feng Yao was shocked and scolded Zheng Wenli thousands of times in his heart.
I didn't expect that he would sell them to the monster he called him. The car accident was just a trap set for them. What he did was disgusting! He continued to walk deeper, but Feng Yao did not choose to follow him, but instead followed the aura just now.
That aura made Feng Yao feel a little bit of danger. Fortunately, he left Little Dragon Girl with Lingling. There shouldn't be any danger with Little Dragon Girl in Lingling.
He can now go looking for the monster with peace of mind.
