I didn't bother chasing after Sun Conan and his wife, and turned back to look for Shen Bing. I ran all the way out of the woods, but I didn't find any trace of her. I began to panic, rubbing my nose to persuade myself to calm down, wondering if she ran back to the canyon, or was still in the woods. I listened for a while and felt that it was unlikely that she ran back to the canyon, because the wind was blowing from the west, and the woods were at the east end, so any movement in the canyon would be heard here.
If Shen Bing ran into the canyon, her intense running would surely make a sound, but I couldn't hear any movement, which meant that Shen Bing was still in the woods. So I turned back and went back to the place where I first found Sun Conan and Yi Yumeng, and followed the traces of the weeds that had been trampled. Sure enough, I saw footprints separated not far ahead, and one set of footprints went southwest. These must be Shen Bing's.
I desperately chased the footprints and ran forward. I ran a long way in one breath. I was so tired that I was out of breath, but the footprints were still extending forward. I was very surprised. How fast could she run? I ran so hard, but I couldn't catch up? And when she entered the woods, she had a talisman on her chest to ward off evil spirits. It was impossible for her to be possessed by evil spirits. Besides, with the foundation of Taoism she had learned now, she would not be easily possessed. What was going on
After running forward for a while, I suddenly realized that I was back to the starting point!
I actually went around in circles in the woods!
I looked at the traces on the grass in surprise. Could it be that someone deliberately arranged a clue to lure me in? It seemed so, otherwise Shen Bing would not have gone around in circles to confuse me. I couldn't follow the footprints anymore. Whether Shen Bing flew away or disappeared underground, there was definitely no trace left on the ground.
Just walk straight forward. There is no point in rushing now. If you look slowly, you may find some clues.
The damn rustling sound of the trees is so annoying that I can't hear any other sounds. As I walked, I took out the small white flag and called Lin Mengxi, San Ya and Xia Muchun out. I asked San Ya to hold the flag and search separately in the forest. I cast 9,900 iron armor spells on them, so even if they encounter a magician, they still have room to escape.
The forest seemed endless. I walked for more than an hour but still couldn't see the end. I suspected that this was a ghost wall, but I used the way-clearing spell and burned the golden light talisman along the way, but it didn't seem like it. Now not only could I not find Shen Bing, but I also lost the trace of Sun Conan and Yi Yumeng.
The fog in the forest was getting thicker and thicker, and the flashlight had very low visibility, with a maximum range of two or three meters ahead. In this foggy night, the pressure on my heart was very heavy, and I felt nervous with every step I took, and I might fall into a trap at any time.
The crow stopped calling, but the rustling of the trees continued.
I suddenly felt a chill growing above my head. I looked up and saw nothing but fog. For no apparent reason, a chill crept into my heart.
Suddenly, I heard a scream from the front, which sounded like a woman's voice. My heart was startled and I ran forward faster. Although I ran fast, the thick fog blocked the flashlight, and I was like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere.
At this moment, a small white flag flew over. San Ya poked her head out from it and shouted anxiously, "Sister Lin and Sister Xia are injured. We just returned to the flag. They told you to run away. There is a ghost!" After saying that, the little girl retracted her head.
