【Tuyan】Sword goes slant

No one answered An Yan's words, and the last ray of sunlight was also absorbed by the forest, leaving only the darkness flooding up from the sky.

An Yan took advantage of the opportunity and threw the light stick in his hand, and the red light drew an arc and fell on the soft soil, making a slight pop.

Then there was a dead silence.Under the light, An Yan saw that there was nothing there.

It seems like a difficult guy to deal with... An Yan took a deep breath, gently took out his two guns, and slowly stepped back against the tree behind him.He closed his eyes, with cold sweat dripping from his face, his expression did not relax because no one appeared, but became more and more nervous.

Because there was no one, it meant that the naked eyes that had been staring at him secretly all the time came from something other than people.

An Yan opened his eyes, and the surrounding scenery clearly appeared in his mind.The ancient trees are towering, the grass is luxuriant, the leaves are swaying, and occasionally one or two late-returning forest birds flutter over the branches.

Still nothing suspicious.An Yan frowned, thinking that this is not right.

He subconsciously hung the gun shield on the protective cover. Although he hasn't felt any hostility from the owner of that line of sight yet, it's good to be just in case.

The long confrontation lasted for a full 10 minutes. An Yan didn't dare to move, and leaned against the tree in a defensive posture, maintaining a state of being able to fight back at any time.

Finally, as if giving up, that line of sight disappeared.

An Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of the gun at once, leaning against the tree trunk and dripping with sweat.

This is not the first time he has encountered such an uncontrollable crisis situation. Compared with his performance a year ago, his performance is much better. It is a pity that Shen Tu is not around, so he cannot see this growth.

After calming down a little, An Yan took a few steps to pick up the light stick, and was about to move on, but his eyes were attracted by the things on the ground.

Suspicious in his heart, he bent down to bring the light source closer to the ground, and took a closer look. The deep concave part in the soil was obviously a footprint of a person.

An Yan was startled. Looking at the size of the footprint and the thickness of the footprint sunk into the soil, a guess gradually emerged in his mind.

In order to prove this conjecture, he searched around along the footprints, and as expected, he found several coherent messy footprints.

"Shen Tu..." An Yan muttered.Yes, this footprint is too similar to Shen Tu's.

Seeing something familiar in an unfamiliar environment all of a sudden, An Yan shook his head. After a while, he squatted down solemnly and reached out to grab the soft mud near the footprints.

Judging from the soil quality and the air condition in the forest, it should have just rained here, the ground is very wet, the mud smells of fishy tide, and the color is dark black.

An Yan smelled it, but there was nothing special about it.But soon, he discovered something strange.

He put down the fluorescent stick, picked up some damp soil with both hands, rubbed them together, and then opened his palms to look, and sure enough, he found something extraordinary in the soil.

It was finely divided, tiny particles like stardust, the size of a sesame seed, exuding a crystal clear color under the fluorescent light. If you observe carefully, you can even see these particles shimmering slightly.

It's worm eggs.

An Yan patted the soil off his hands, picked up some of the soil with the fluorescent stick and rubbed it, and found that almost the entire soil here was full of unhatched insect eggs.

An Yan was dripping with cold sweat, and quickly integrated the information he got in his mind.

There are footprints of Shen Tu on the ground, and the soil is full of unknown insect eggs, and there are things that even his eyes cannot see are dormant nearby.

Ten seconds later, An Yan bit his lower lip, carefully recalled the pattern of Shen Tu's footprints, and came to the conclusion that Shen Tu had experienced a battle here.

However, there was no obvious smell of blood, and there were no traces of an overly violent fight. Maybe it was a sneak attack, or maybe a brief confrontation. In short, Shen Tu shouldn't be in too much danger.

Thinking of this, An Yan felt a little relieved, and looked at his watch, it had already been delayed for almost four or ten minutes.

He thought about it, and decided to continue on the same path. If he found traces of Shen Tu here, it would prove that he did not go in the wrong direction, and it would be considered a good thing.

It's just that on the next road, An Yan was full of 12 points of energy throughout the whole process, always guarding against the unknown crisis hidden by the darkness and deep woods.

After walking for more than an hour, An Yan vaguely heard the sound of the gurgling stream coming from the front. The air here was cooler than before, full of the tide of dripping water.

An Yan walked forward following the sound of the water, turned around a rock wall, and a clear lake suddenly came into view.

"There is such a big lake in this place?" An Yan was a little surprised, and walked around the lake, but found nothing unusual.

He raised the light stick high and threw it across the lake. The light stick flashed in the air and sank into the water with a crash.

The darkness quickly swallowed up the light, An Yan couldn't see what was on the other three sides of the lake, and the night was dark and windy, so he could only give up.

He thought for a while and decided to refresh himself by the lake.

The place where Shentu disappeared marked on the satellite map is not very far away, but unfortunately that place is across the lake.And this lake is definitely not as ordinary as it looks on the surface. After all, ordinary lakes don't have even the slightest trace on the satellite map.

An Yan's water quality is not particularly good, so he dare not go into the water late at night without preparation.

After making a decision, An Yan dug out the things Rachel had prepared from his bag, found a blanket and spread it on the floor, went to the lake to wash in the water, then took off his coat to cover his body, and lay down hastily.

After a day of running around and constant high tension, An Yan soon fell asleep.

This time, he slept extremely soundly, and even had a dream, in which he saw Shen Tu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The other party was standing in front of a tower, but An Yan couldn't recognize what kind of tower it was. He just saw him, and ran to the other party's side happily, extending his hand to greet him.

Shen Tu turned his head in response, with a flat face and distant eyes, and softly called: "An Yan."

An Yan felt that Shen Tu's expression was a bit weird, just about to say what's wrong with you, but the next second the situation suddenly changed, Shen Tu raised his left hand and grasped something in the air.The bandages on his hands were gone, and the scars on the back of his hands that looked like the imprint of Shentu were bursting out with blue light.

An Yan was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Shen Tu!"

A huge force suddenly struck, dragging him and Shen Tu into the air at the same time, An Yan struggled desperately, but couldn't break free.

An invisible force tightly strangled his throat, and a drowning-like suffocation surged up frantically.

Then An Yan's eyes widened, and he watched in shock as the tower behind Shen Tu suddenly collapsed, and a white mist that covered the sky and the sun burst out from inside, and the mist quickly engulfed Shen Tu.

"Shen Tu!!"

He woke up from the dream with shortness of breath and sweating profusely, unable to recover from the real sense of suffocation and fear for a long time.
