Chapter 1549 Extraneous Branches
"Has anyone noticed, which direction did the wolf howl come from last night?"
After setting off, Zhang Zian asked the elves.
The elves looked at me and I looked at you, all shaking their heads. Richard wanted to express his opinion, but the blind man was the least likely to know, so Zhang Zian pinched its mouth in advance.
"I can only hear the general direction."
Laocha raised his claws and pointed to the front side, drawing an angle of about 45 degrees to 60 degrees.
This is also understandable, the wolf howl was too abrupt, when they were fully on alert to deal with the coyote pack, when they heard the wolf howl suddenly, they had no time to carefully distinguish the direction of the howl.
This vast forest covers a wide area, with many plains and few mountains. In the silent night, the sound of howling can be heard far away. The sound waves are repeatedly divided and reflected among the thick trees. It is also difficult to determine the exact source of the sound.
The point is, that wolf only howled once. If it howled a few more times, it might be possible to narrow the range.
Zhang Zian looked down at the phone, and the light group representing the elves was also within that area, maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed an abnormal situation. The light group representing the elves seemed to be dimmer than before.
He rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look. It seemed that it was indeed dim, but it might also be due to a visual error. After all, the weather was dark the first few days after entering the forest, and the screen of the phone was bright. The weather is fine, the surroundings are bright, but the screen of the mobile phone appears dark. He has always adjusted the brightness of the mobile phone to a fixed level.
In addition, the size of the light cluster seems to have shrunk.
It's a pity that he didn't take any screenshots at the beginning, so he couldn't be sure with the naked eye.
Is this newly-appeared elf finally about to disappear?
I remember that when π appeared in the Binhai University library, the light group representing it was weakening and dimming at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. At one time, Zhang Zian felt that it was too late to help it find the book it wanted. Tips and help from others, with a little luck, finally brought the book to it before it disappeared completely.
In the process of capturing other elves, they did not encounter such a tight time, because they were all captured within a short time after they appeared, unlike the situation of this new elf.
This newly emerged elf has persisted for several days,
In a sense, this should mean that it is very powerful, and the obsession in its heart is also very deep, but even so, its power is weakening after all, is it about to fail?
Zhang Zian felt a little pity, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't just run wildly towards its location in the forest just because it might disappear soon, that would be too dangerous.
Judging by the very slow dimming speed of the light cluster, there is still a long time before it disappears completely.
Similar to yesterday, Femus walked in front, π brandished a wooden stick and followed closely behind, other elves walked around casually, Richard squatted on the backpack, his mouth was not idle for a moment.
The burn on the Spotted Owl's wings is almost completely healed, and fine fluff has begun to grow on the new pink flesh, at least it won't affect its hunting anymore, so Zhang Zian doesn't need to feed it jerky anymore, but it still He was still squatting on the backpack, maybe because he thought it would be nice to get a free ride.
The situation of the deer and the head deer is similar. After yesterday's frightening night, the deer dare not leave without authorization, and the distance behind them is even closer.
Zhang Zian was walking forward step by step, when Femas suddenly stopped and said, "It smells like a cat again."
He hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, don't care, there are cats if there are cats, just treat it as a pet cat brought by a homeless man and get lost."
"The smell is very fresh this time." Femas added, "and...the smell of blood."
Zhang Zian and the elves were taken aback when they heard this.
Concerned about the safety of the cat clan, Fina went to the vicinity of Femas and smelled it. Judging from its solemn expression, Femas was right, and the bloody smell came from the cats, not from the cats' prey.
"What a cat! Who dared to hurt these proletarian cats who are actively pursuing progress?" Vladimir clenched his fist and said angrily.
In Vladimir's view, cats brought into the forest by homeless people have nothing and cannot enjoy the superior life of domestic cats in the city. They naturally have the potential to become meowists, and they are worthy of development. Ever since it heard that there are homeless cats in the forest, it has been thinking about how to unite these cats to establish a branch of the Redwood Forest. As a result, these cats were surrounded by reactionary forces, trying to kill the fire of meowism in its cradle. Great?
Zhang Zian didn't want to be nosy at first, at least he had to wait until the main matter was resolved, and if he had time, he would think about why the domestic cat appeared deep in the forest. However, looking at it now, both Fina and Vladimir are interested in finding out, after all, they are compatriots who share weal and woe.
Comparing his heart to his heart, if he finds that innocent humans are injured or dead in the forest, he can't ignore it, so he will volunteer to take on the task of finding Megan.
"Could it be that the cat met a coyote or... a wolf?" Lao Cha said cautiously, because of what happened last night, the first thing he thought of was these two beasts.
Zhang Zian nodded, "It's possible. But the problem is... there are trees everywhere in the forest. If a cat encounters a wolf or a coyote, even if it can't beat it, won't it go up the tree to escape? Wolves and coyotes are not the same. It will climb the tree, and the cat should be safe hiding in the tree."
This question is reasonable.
There are almost no snakes in the redwood forest, and there are only a few kinds of beasts that cats may encounter, and most of them cannot climb trees.
"Could it be that he was murdered by a North American lynx, puma or eagle?" Old Cha said again.
Zhang Zian scanned the surrounding environment, "The nearby forests are too dense to be suitable for eagles to fly, and the other two are difficult to judge."
"Guessing and guessing, it's better to go and see."
As Fina said, she turned a corner following the scent and walked in another direction.
Old Cha also nodded, "It's useless to talk, so it's better to go and have a look."
It is impossible for everyone to let Fina go by herself, they can only follow behind.
Zhang Zian secretly sighed, although Fei Masi pointed out that the smell is fresh, but who knows how much more miles he will have to walk for it?
He had no choice but to follow.
After following the smell for about half an hour, the smell of blood became more and more obvious. Of course, Zhang Zian couldn't smell it. Make a sound to remind them to run slower.
Fina finally stopped, in front of a dead cat.
