Chapter 56 Differences

We stood on the edge of the swamp, and in front of us was a large area of ​​water. Many raised peat layers divided the water surface. The entire swamp looked like a broken mirror. There were many shrubs growing on the raised peat layers in the swamp. If you look into the distance, you can see some water-resistant trees. Such tree species are like fish in water in this environment, so they all grow very huge, with the trees mixed in roots, and look like a forest from a distance, but it is very likely that there is only one tree.

Lantern Festival jumped onto a dead tree and looked forward as much as possible, "Can we be looking for a place deep in this swamp?"

I also looked forward and nodded, "It looks like this."

Yuanxiao frowned, "What kind of ancestors do you think of these? Why did you move to such a ghost place?"

I said, "I think they were helpless at that time. I guess they came here to avoid the world and let the people outside find them. And hiding deep in the swamp, the swamp itself became a protective barrier for them."

After hearing what I said, Yuanxiao smiled and said, "Just this shallow puddle still protects the barrier?" As he said that, he walked in along the bulges in the swamp.

I shook my head gently, "Actually it's not that simple. First of all, although there are some bushes and trees here, there are a lot of places to see and there is no place to hide. If someone here wants to attack, the enemy's whereabouts will be easily discovered on the fortifications on the opposite side. Moreover, "As I said, I picked up a branch and explored the depth of the swamp puddle in front of me. "I think this swamp should be a medium swamp from a geographical point of view. As I was born many years ago, when those ancestors lived here, the swamp at that time was probably still a low swamp, and the water level at that time should be much higher than now."

Yuanxiao said: "Isn't it better to attack with a high water level? You can use a boat!"

"No," I continued: "The puddles are different in depth in places like swamps, and there are many peat layers in the middle. If you use a boat, if you are not familiar with the route, you may reach the bottom halfway through the road!"

Lantern Festival nodded, "According to what you said, our goal is ahead, let's go quickly!"

Anado waved his hand, "I think we should not be reckless. This area is so big, so we just go, which direction should we go?"

Yuanxiao said "Hi" and said, "What's the hesitation about? No matter what direction it is in the future, you have to pass through here anyway. It's no doubt about this. I think we'd better leave first! Otherwise, the team of the Yuan family should catch up."

But I agree with Anado's statement, "Don't be anxious at Lantern Festival. Based on my previous experience, I think this swamp is not as calm as it seems. If there is such a problem, it will take time and it will be dark now. Once you are trapped in the swamp at night, it will be very dangerous."

Lantern Festival is still eager to try, "What do you think you will do?"

I looked at the scene in front of me and felt a little confused. The three of us stood by the swamp and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Yuanxiao walked back and walked back, "Okay, if you don't leave, let's have a meal first, I'm hungry anyway!"

I nodded, "Okay, let's rest on the spot first. Maybe Wen Mo will come back to find us later."

We found a piece of flat land nearby, and Annaduo and I packed up the equipment we might use later, while Lantern Festival went around to find something that could be used to make fire.

Whenever a fire is raised in the wild, it will always add a lot of security and convenience. As the only creature in the world who can use fire, fire is of great significance to humans.

We were packing up when we suddenly heard the shout of Lantern Festival, "Hey! Come and see this!"

Annaduo and I quickly put down our things and ran towards the direction where Lantern Festival was, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Lanxiao pointed to a tree in front of us and said to us: "I just wanted to find some firewood here that can cause fire, but I didn't expect to find this on this trunk."

When we looked around, we found that there was a figure engraved on the trunk. I have seen this figure many times. Every time I saw it, my mood was extremely complicated. It was the symbol similar to the little turtle. Although this mysterious symbol still confused me, according to what I have mastered now, only two people left behind, Wen Mo or my second uncle.

However, I also found that the symbols engraved on the trunk seemed to be different from those I had seen before. As for the time, I was not sure, but based on my memory, I felt that the symbols on the trunk seemed to have more lines.

This discovery made my heart move. Could it be that this symbol expresses a different meaning this time?

This is the first time Anadu has seen this, so he is not sure about the meaning of it.

There is also an arrow below this figure pointing in a direction in the swamp.

I looked at the direction of the arrow, "Can someone leave this message and hope we will move in this direction?"

Yuanxiao nodded but didn't say anything. Annaduo looked carefully at the pattern on the tree trunk, "Is this the mark left by your boss? To guide you."

When I heard Anaduo's words, I was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed through my mind. At the same time, I actually felt a sense of familiarity.

Before I could figure out the source of this feeling, I heard Yuanxiao say, "No, I don't think so."

Anado asked, "Why?"

Yuanxiao looked at Annaduo, then looked at me again, "I have a feeling that this symbol was not left by the boss, I think it should be left by your second uncle."

"My second uncle?" I leaned over to the front of the trunk again, looked carefully, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Although this symbol looks very new, it was not just carved. It should not be what Wen Mo did, so it can only be my second uncle."

As soon as my second uncle was mentioned, Annaduo immediately paid special attention, "Is this really the one left by Qiu Ye? So he is not far ahead."

I don't know why, but I just think something is wrong.

Anado said, "Since the direction has been determined, should we set out now? In this way, we can reach the other side of the swamp before dark. Maybe Qiu is waiting for us there too!"

In fact, An Naduo is very good at all. She is smart, brave and steady. But when she gets involved in my second uncle's affairs, she is a little impulsive. She was just trying to advise us not to be reckless, but at this time she was eager to set off. Could it be that true that love makes a woman's IQ zero.

I still think that this symbol appears here in this form, which is a bit strange. So, I did not respond to Anaduo's proposal. It was not just me, but Lanxiao also just looked into the depths of the swamp and didn't say anything.

In contrast to Anaduo's situation, he remembered the Lantern Festival when he set out, but he began to hesitate at this moment. I think that because we have experienced the same things, at this moment, he had the same idea as me.

Seeing that we didn't say anything, Anaduo was a little anxious, "Why don't you talk? Don't you want to find Zhuoqiu?"

Seeing that she was a little excited, I said, "Sister, don't worry. Even if this symbol is left by my second uncle, it is not certain that it must be used to point us in the direction, because we did not have such an agreement before."

Annaduo immediately said: "Then you can recognize that this is your second uncle left at a glance. So, have you communicated in this way before? If that's the case, it's very likely that this time the same situation will still be the same, so you don't have the opportunity to exchange information this time."

I thought for a while and said, "We did communicate through this symbol before, but..."

Before I could finish speaking, Anaduo took the words, "That's all. Your second uncle must have left the information in this way. Even if it was not for you to see it specifically, it was left for those who came later. So I think there is no problem following the marks left by your second uncle!"

I didn't know how to explain to An Naduo for a moment, and Lanxiao also had a helpless expression on her face.

Just when we were in a dilemma, suddenly, a stream of blue smoke rose in the jungle opposite the swamp. The blue smoke rose up and floated very high.

We were very surprised by the sudden appearance of the situation. Yuanxiao said, "I'm going, it's not that it's on fire!"

However, the statement of Lantern Festival was quickly denied by reality, because the green smoke has remained unchanged and there is no trend of expansion.

It is also true that its appearance attracted our attention. In the words of Lantern Festival, it must be someone who deliberately smoked!

Yuanxiao's words are right, because a normal burning fire cannot produce such lasting blue smoke, and only someone may do it on purpose.

Anado looked at Yanzhu in the distance and said, "But who did this?"

"This must be someone who is setting up a fixed point and guiding the direction." As he said that, Yuanxiao ran towards our equipment, and then said while sorting out his own equipment: "I think we'd better go over and take a look."

Anado said, "I think we should follow the marks left by Qiu Ye. If you don't know who put this kind of green smoke, you will go there rashly, and maybe you will fall into someone else's trap. Compared to me, I believe more about the clues left by Qiu Ye."
