When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

The deep forest was filled with fog, and even the tall trees were almost swallowed by the fog.

Although we should try our best to find the scattered people and bring them to a relatively safe place, it is extremely difficult to find the scattered people in the deep forest because they are too scattered and the fog is heavy.

Compared to looking for the elusive person, Lin Lezhi's side is more important.

Fearing that the fog was too heavy and difficult to tell the direction, and also in order to return as quickly as possible, the few people did not dare to leave too far from the place where the snakes appeared.

But if you get too close, snakes will inevitably hide in the fog.

After all, not everyone in the same industry has the ability to protect themselves.

After they walked for who knows how many miles, there were finally no signs of snakes around.

Confirmed there were no snakes nearby.

Jiang Lian'an lowered his eyes, and walked forward with an apologetic look in his eyes and said, "The village head and his wife entrusted Qiao Ying to my care, but I failed to take good care of Qiao Ying. I must go back to find Qiao Ying. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go to Master Lin's place."

Qingchuan said with understanding in his eyes: "Jiang Guitan is a trustworthy person. Go quickly. We will look for Brother Lezhi."

"Thank you." Jiang Lian'an bowed and said in a very serious tone: "The forest is very foggy and full of snakes. It is not suitable to walk around. I will come back to meet you guys when the fog clears tomorrow. If I cannot come back tomorrow, please leave the island as soon as possible to avoid being hurt. You guys must be careful and take care."

"Yeah, the same goes for Detective Jiang. You must be more careful."

Qingchuan also nodded and saluted.

Jiang Lian'an nodded slightly, then turned around and disappeared into the mist.

When Jiang Lian'an disappeared, Liu Yunhe immediately raised his foot and said, "I'll go back to find him now. Young Master, Brother Qingchuan, you must be more careful."

Just as Liu Yunhe was about to leave, Xiao Yihuo walked up to him and blocked his way.

After a moment's surprise, Liu Yunhe immediately understood Xiao Yihuo's thoughts, and his eyes darkened.

"Son..."

"I'll go look for him, you stay and protect Qingchuan and everyone else."

"Can……"

"The fog is getting thicker, so we shouldn't stay too long. If there are snakes coming here after I leave, leave quickly and don't stay here."

"..."

Seeing this, Qingchuan stepped forward and whispered, "Be careful in everything, don't worry about us, and come back safely."

Liu Yunhe knew that no one could go against the prince's decision.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yunhe feels even more useless.

His own life was of no value, but there was an infestation of snakes over there, and he didn't want to put the prince in danger.

Can……

He also understood that every moment was crucial, a matter of life and death.

In terms of skills, he cannot compare to the prince.

At the speed at which the fog is spreading now, the only one who can reach Lin Lezhi before the fog completely engulfs the forest is the prince.

He didn't want the prince to be in danger, nor did he want Lin Lezhi to die.

If he had not been lazy in practicing martial arts on weekdays, the prince would not have to put himself in danger at this moment.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunhe tightened his fists at his sides, his eyes full of worry and self-blame.

"I will ensure my own safety, and I will be back as soon as possible."

Xiao Yihuo saw Liu Yunhe's self-blame and smiled calmly. It was just one sentence, but it made people believe it from the bottom of their hearts.

"Okay, Sir, go ahead and don't worry. I will protect Brother Qingchuan and everyone else."

"Ah."

After Xiao Yihuo nodded in response, he reached the top of the tree in a few quick and light steps. At the place where he landed, even the branches and leaves of the tree only shook slightly.

Xiao Yihuo looked at the treetops that were almost swallowed by the fog. His eyes were no longer as relaxed as before, but became gloomy.

Soon, the figure disappeared into the mist.

Lin Lezhi stood straight in the small circle of fire, his body a little stiff.

These snakes move quickly and will pounce on you if you are distracted for a moment.

I couldn't move my body much. As the torch gradually burned out, the remaining temperature was not enough to resist the cold, and my hands gradually became cold.

Lin Lezhi squatted upright, his eyes fixed on the snake in front of him. He quickly glanced at the ground and picked up all the usable torches.

Lin Lezhi didn't dare to breathe. He held his breath and concentrated, keeping a retreating posture and slowly moving towards the Hundred Bone Pit.

In this deep forest with visibility less than five meters and overgrown weeds, every step is very dangerous. There are also many snakes climbing up the surrounding trees, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Looking at the white snakes everywhere and the weeds that made noises from time to time, Lin Lezhi swallowed involuntarily, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead due to nervousness.

To be honest, if all these snakes pounced on me, I would be dead.

really.

Acting cool and acting like a hero will cost you your life.

But if it were Ji Hang, he would definitely do so.

There is no reason, and there is no choice.

As Lin Lezhi moved, the snakes surrounding him also spit out their tongues, turned towards the location where Lin Lezhi was moving, and slowly approached.

These snakes were also wary of him and kept a certain distance, as if they were waiting for the torches in his hands to be completely extinguished.

No.

At this speed, the torch in his hand wouldn't be able to reach the Hundred Bone Pit.

Lin Lezhi simply made up his mind, untied the safety knot around his waist and put it in his arms, then took off his outer clothes, lit them with the torch that was almost burned out, then covered himself with them, crouched down, and ran towards the Hundred Bone Pit at an extremely fast speed.

Although the burning scalding clothes drove away the surrounding snakes and brought a bit of warmth to the gradually cooling body, the area close to the fire source also felt a real burning sensation.

Just when the fire was about to burn out completely, Lin Lezhi finally ran to the Bone Pit and covered the dying fire with a pile of wooden boards made from the trees he had just cut down.

But maybe the fire was too small, not enough to ignite the remaining trees, and the white snake followed closely.

What to do now.

Lin Lezhi was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling, and he kept moving backwards.

Suddenly, a snake swooped over with its fangs bared.

Lin Lezhi stepped back, swung the sword in his hand vigorously, and cut the flying snake into two pieces.

But such an action undoubtedly angered the group of snakes. They all spit out their tongues and crawled quickly towards Lin Lezhi, making a rustling sound in the grass.

His eyes fell on the wooden boards that had not caught fire. He probably thought that the newly cut wood contained too much water, so it was difficult to ignite easily. Also, because he had been backing away, he was already some distance away from the woodpile.

Lin Lezhi clenched his fists, took out the tinder from his arms, bit open the lid and blew open the tinder, then threw it towards the woodpile without hesitation.

Whether it works or not depends on this one.

but……

God did not favor me.

Because Lin Lezhi was concentrating on the snake when he was retreating, he didn't notice that he had retreated to the edge of the pit. When he threw it out, the soil that had been thrown away had little support.

The soil became loose, his feet slipped, and Lin Lezhi fell into the pit.

Immediately, a piercing pain came from the previously injured shoulder.

Because of this, the tinderbox was thrown off by an inch and failed to hit the pile of wood.

They say there is always a way out, but that may be false. It seems... God is not on my side.

It seems like my life is really going to end here.

Lin Lezhi sat up, frowning in pain and covering his shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
