"Father, why are you here?" Li Deyang was slightly taken aback when he saw the old man at the door, and then quickly stepped forward to help him unload the plaid bag from his shoulders.

"So heavy? What's on the head here?"

The old man didn't speak, but looked suspiciously at Lin Qiye and the others walking out of the house, then looked away, lowered his voice and asked:

"Deyang, what are those four people here for?"

Li Deyang was taken aback, "It's just a group of tourists who were going to enter the forest, but I persuaded them to go back, what's wrong?"

The old man shook his head, "It's nothing... By the way, these are winter clothes brought for you, you can wear them after washing."

"dad!!"

The little girl at the side threw herself into Li Deyang's arms, a bright smile appeared on her red face.

"Hey, my little Tingting!" A smile also appeared on Li Deyang's face. He bent down to pick up the little girl, and began to rub her face with his bearded chin. ?”

"Yes!" The little girl said while hiding Li Deyang's stubble with a smile.

Li Deyang glanced at the clothes in the cloth bag, and sighed, "I said, Dad, I have clothes here, why did you bring so many here from all the way?"

"Yes? You have nothing but this military coat!" The old man snorted, "Your heating is not working well, and you are reluctant to buy clothes. I won't bring them here for you. How will you spend this winter?" "

Li Deyang hugged the little girl and smiled helplessly.

"I asked you to find a decent job in the city a long time ago. Let's not talk about how much you can earn. At least you can live warmly in winter, right? Maybe you can meet a good woman who can take care of you when you get old. Xiaoting can also have a stepmother..." The old man murmured while putting his luggage on the table.

"I'm so old, what kind of wife do I need? I'm fine here." Li Deyang waved his hand.

"What's good?" The old man glared at him.

Li Deyang pretended to cough twice, then changed the subject, "You guys came all the way here, is the hotel booked?"

"It's booked, it's at the...Happy Hotel not far from you."

Li Deyang frowned, "Why don't you order a better one? Come to such a remote place?"

"Just stay overnight, why do you want to be so easy?" The old man said confidently, "It's close to you, and it's convenient when you go back at night. If Xiaoting misses you tomorrow, she can come here again."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say."

The old man packed up his things, took out a few more bundles of vegetables and meat from the bag, and walked quickly towards the door, "Sit here, I'll make you some dinner..."

Li Deyang hugged the little girl, looked at the old man's stubborn back, smiled wryly and shook his head.

……

"Did you remember everything?" Lin Qiye asked.

"take note of it."

An Qingyu pushed his glasses, "It's not wrong, the edge of that map matches the outer edge of the forest we just passed, that is the map of this forest area, but I have to go back and study the meaning of some marks inside. ..."

"No, wait a minute." The corner of Baili Fatty's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at An Qingyu as if he was looking at a monster. "In such a short few minutes just now, you have already written down that map?"

"It doesn't take a few minutes." An Qingyu said lightly, "A dozen seconds is enough."

Baili Fatty: ...

Listen, is this human?

"I thought the direct method you mentioned was to beat them down and torture them." An Qingyu looked at Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye's eyelids twitched, "Everyone is a night watchman, so I wouldn't use such extreme methods... My original intention was to find out the way to the stronghold first, and then find opportunities to steal some clues. The map is hanging on the blackboard."

"Speaking of which, this night watchman team is indeed a bit too miserable." Baili Pangpang sighed, "There are only two people in total, and they still live in such a remote place..."

"In Anta County, where the population is small and the popularity is weak, generally there will not be too powerful 'mysteries', at most they are the little ones in the 'Zhan' or 'Pool' realm, and a team of two is indeed enough. It's gone." Cao Yuan said.

"Since this is the case, why is there such a powerful 'mystery' this time?"

"I don't know." Lin Qiye shook his head, "This 'mysterious' came out of the primeval forest at first, it should be that some variables appeared in the forest... The specific reason, we have to investigate by ourselves."

Cao Yuan nodded, "Now that the equipment is complete and the clues have been obtained, what's next..."

Lin Qiye hummed and looked up.

The dim yellow sunset gradually sank, and there were more and more shadows in the continuous mountain forest ahead. This vast virgin forest located on the border of the fog wall began to be eroded by darkness little by little.

"It's time to enter the forest."

……

The road to the forest was smoother than Lin Qiye imagined.

This place is not like Jinnan Mountain. The roads are rugged and the terrain varies greatly. At least on the periphery of this primeval forest, the terrain is relatively flat.

When I first entered the forest, the surrounding trees were neither dense nor tall. The original trees here were cut down once when the county town was being developed, and the later ones were newly planted.

The four of them carried heavy hiking bags, and with flashlights, they walked through it little by little.

For them, it can be done faster, but there is no need for this right now. This place is no longer the Jinnan Mountain where they trained before, but a vast virgin forest. It is impossible to pass through within the time, but it will consume a lot of physical strength and food.

And in this primeval forest, there are mysterious dormants in the "Sichuan" and even "Sea" realms. They must keep themselves in the best condition at all times to deal with dangers that may occur at any time.

"Is this direction?" Lin Qiye turned to look at An Qingyu behind him.

An Qingyu nodded, "Well, it's in this direction, but it needs to go deeper, and about three hours further forward, there is an abandoned forest farm, where the 'mysterious' traces of ants were found for the first time , right there."

"Abandoned forest farm?" Baili Pangpang asked suspiciously, "Since it is abandoned, how could anyone go there? How did you find the trace?"

Cao Yuan, who was walking in front of him, was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and gave Baili Pangpang a weird look.

"What do you see me doing?" Baili Pangpang asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing." Cao Yuan shook his head, "Although your brain is not working well, it seems that you can always pay attention to some strange things..."
