Chapter 212 Pathfinder
"Oh?" Chenran raised his eyebrows.
Su Xiaoxiao had no interest in getting entangled with Chenran and said straightforwardly: "We are brothers and sisters. We grew up together. I can feel that he is in danger."
Chenran thought for a moment, then looked into the depths of the forest. After a moment, he turned back and whispered with a smile: "So Miss Su wants to break the contract?"
As soon as these two words were spoken, Su Xiaoxiao's trembling body immediately stopped moving. She could clearly feel the chill behind the two words "broken contract".
It's like a sword pointed at the center of one's eyebrows.
"No," Su Xiaoxiao replied immediately. She calmed down and her next words were not so urgent.
She withdrew her gaze, looked at Chenran, and then said: "No matter how my brother is doing now, it's too late for me to go back. If I can find the clues on the stone plate, my brother may still have a chance to survive."
Chenran nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "Miss Su is indeed smart!"
"Okay," Su Xiaoxiao turned around and continued heading deeper into the forest, "Let's hurry up and hurry up. We didn't find any trace of those two people along the way. They may have found the stone plate."
Chenran withdrew his hand from his pocket and followed with a smile, "It's all up to Miss Su's arrangement."
After walking for about half an hour, relying on Su Xiaoxiao's memory, they finally found the strange white stone plate. They squatted down and hid behind a dense bush.
Su Xiaoxiao was about two or three meters away from him, hiding behind a tree, with only half of his face exposed and staring at the stone plate.
The two of them waited quietly for their prey to take the bait.
Chenran's cold eyes slowly swept around the stone plate. Indeed, it was similar to what Su Xiaoxiao had described to him before. The stone plate stood quietly in the center.
It was piled with dead bones.
There are countless graves surrounding the stone plate.
There are scattered weapons around some tombs, all cold weapons such as harpoons and spears. The people buried in these tombs seem to be warriors.
So weird
But what's even weirder is the location itself. It's deep in the forest. They can't be sure how far it is from the edge, but it's still some distance away.
Why go to all the trouble to bring people here and bury them?
Moreover, the soil here showed a strange dark red color, as if it had been soaked in a large amount of blood. Grab a handful and put it on the tip of your nose, and the feedback feedback is disgusting.
Chenran narrowed his eyes slightly.
Obviously, the guys in Blackstone Town lied to them. There is no way this place was washed out by a flash flood.
The flat river near the stone plate is a completely open land without any vegetation. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no grass growing on it.
It is impossible to do this if you need to rely on the mountain torrents of the terrain, let alone have the energy to rush here.
Everything here seems artificial.
Chenran slowly grinned, it was getting more and more interesting.
Su Xiaoxiao's voice came over, full of urgency and uneasiness, "Why haven't those two people shown up yet?" She was so worried about her brother that she lost her sense of proportion.
Chenran's eyes swept along the edge of the dark red soil and forest, and after a while, he looked up at the sky again.
The sky is still dark, but too much time has passed.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Chenran turned his head and focused his gaze on Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao was still looking around without paying attention.
After a while——
"Miss Su," Chenran suddenly said, "I think" he smiled and said, "I'm afraid those two people have already been here."
"Have you been here? Where are you?" Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide.
Chenran stretched out a hand and tapped the white stone plate in the center of the clearing. "If I guess correctly, they are on it."
"You mean they're dead?"
Chen Ran was noncommittal, a strange light flashed in his eyes, but when Su Xiaoxiao's eyes touched his eyes, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"I think so," Chenran exhaled, turned to look at the deathly silent stone plate and the tomb, and lowered his voice and said, "According to the clues I have learned before, this stone plate should not be so quiet."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, it wasn't so quiet when I came here last time. The stone plate now seems to be full and resting."
"That's right," Chenran shrugged and walked out of the forest first, "So Miss Su, please hurry up," his voice came over, slightly distorted, "Don't forget, it's getting dark soon."
This sentence hit Su Xiaoxiao's weakness. Once it gets dark, not to mention what will happen to her brother, even she herself may not be able to walk out of the forest alive.
She gritted her teeth, then walked out of the forest, followed Chenran, and walked towards the stone plate.
Passing one tomb after another, she tried not to look or think about it, but she just couldn't stop it. Various weird and messy patterns and lines began to flash through her mind.
It was like an awl was piercing her head, forcefully instilling something into it.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the stone plate. Chenran gradually slowed down and kept moving at the same speed as Su Xiaoxiao. His gentle eyes slowly filled with other colors.
"Doctor," the fat man stuck his buttocks out, holding up a broken branch with green leaves as a cover, and looking out through the gap with a pair of small eyes, he whispered: "They have taken action."
Jiang Cheng hid behind a large moss-covered stone and continued to observe calmly as he watched Su Xiaoxiao and Chenran approach the stone plate step by step.
The fat man swallowed and turned his head. "Doctor," he lowered his voice, but there was a hint of surprise in his voice, "You are so amazing! How do you know that they can't wait for us and will look at the stone plate by themselves?"
From the fat man's point of view, this is not wise, it is tantamount to two crispy bodies getting into a fight.
But the doctor didn't seem to be surprised. He didn't even look at the fat man and simply replied: "It's getting dark and they can't afford to wait."
The fat man thought for a while and replied: "Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely wait. At worst, we will finish playing together after dark, and these two people will just go there like this. If something goes wrong, won't they die?"
Jiang Cheng said casually, "That's not necessarily true,"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the doctor, blinked, and said, "Do they have any trump cards that they haven't revealed yet? One that can save their lives?"
Before he finished speaking, the fat man seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly: "Do they have that kind of life-saving white paper in their hands?"
Jiang Cheng withdrew his gaze, looked sideways at the fat man, and said after a while: "I don't know if there is a blank paper, but it's not two people who died, just that stupid woman."
"Do you think we are the only ones who are here to explore the road?" Jiang Cheng continued.
