Those who died in there were probably not fools and would not have taken the wrong turn. However, they had already gone astray without realizing it. If they wanted to go back, they would probably have the same fate as those dead bodies.
We sat on the ground helplessly. It would be better to be trapped here than to meet a ghost. Either it dies or we die. Even if we die, it's better to die quickly. But now, we are starving to death here. That's not a good feeling.
Lu Fei and Wang Zijun were no longer in the mood to argue. They turned their heads to look at the fork in the road beside them, wondering which way to go. Qu Mo and Shen Bing were both looking at me. Whenever they encountered a problem, they regarded me as their backbone. Although I was honored, I was also very sad. I had no solution.
I touched my nose and thought about it, then chanted a summoning spell to call the little white flag back. It came in from a fork on the left, which once again confirmed that we had indeed taken the wrong road.
He called Lin Mengxi and asked her if the path that Xiao Baiqi had taken was the right one. But Lin Mengxi shook her head and said, "I don't know. Xiao Baiqi clearly smelled the scent of the vampire, but he kept going around in the fork in the road and couldn't get to the front."
My heart sank again. Ghosts are not omnipotent, and they can get lost. I asked her to go back to the little white flag and continue to search forward. We followed behind this time. Because the little white flag can smell the scent of vampires, it knows where the correct path is. If we try a few more times, maybe we can find it.
But this idea still failed. I wandered in the forked road for half the night. When I looked at the watch, it was already six in the morning, and I still couldn't get on the right road. Suddenly, I thought of another way, which was to look for skulls underground. At first, I thought there would be skulls in every forked road, but looking at the complicated roads, how many skulls would it take? Besides, the other forked roads were designed according to the tail, not the main trunk, so there was no need to spend so much effort.
Among the five of us, only Lu Fei and I brought daggers. This time I brought the military bayonet I brought back when I retired from the army. It was very sharp. If the ground was covered with dust, it would be like piercing tofu. However, we were all on a fork in the road, and we could feel with our hands that some of the ground was mud and some was stone, and the distribution was extremely uneven. But I was still worried and dug a few times with the military bayonet, but there was nothing underneath.
We went in along the forks and eventually walked through all the forks and found the skull. This surprised us all. Could it be that there were traps in the cave specifically to trap people, and there was no correct path in any of the traps
When they were all confused, I suddenly slapped my head and got goose bumps on my back, and then I knew what was going on.
Shen Bing blinked her big dark eyes and asked, "Are you possessed?"
I pointed to the ground and said, "Look, we have been to this place more than once. There are traces of digging left. However, someone covered up the small hole we just dug!"
They were all stunned when they heard me, and all shone their flashlights at the ground I pointed to. The lights converged, very bright, and there were traces of movement on the soil on the ground, and the marks were very fresh, which meant that it had been dug not long ago. They all looked up at me in surprise. It turned out that we were digging in front and someone was burying the soil behind us. The flashlight was not very bright, and if you didn't look carefully, you would never notice this situation.
Lu Fei gave me a thumbs up and cursed through gritted teeth: "Is that bastard playing tricks on us?" He walked out of the intersection with a flashlight and looked outside.
Wang Zijun frowned and asked, "How do you know it was done by a human? Who can avoid getting lost in here? The only one who can escape our eyes and ears is a ghost!"
I told him that it was unlikely to be a ghost, because the evil spirit here basically made it impossible for ghosts to survive. It was estimated that there was only one blood ghost. The blood ghost was also injured, and it was afraid that we would find it at this time, so how could it dare to provoke us
We came up with a solution to this problem, marking each fork in the road we passed, carving marks with a dagger, so that we would not go wrong. When we exited from a fork in the road, we were all dumbfounded when we looked at the other forks. Every fork had the same mark on the stone wall, and we didn't know which one was ours.
