Their horses are still more than ten miles away on the mountain road, but fortunately they are out. They can't run fast in the crowded tunnel, and they can still show off their skills on the mountain road outside.
Fortunately, the physical fitness of ability users is much better than others, and even if they are not Sai Juechen, they are not slow in running.
What's more, in addition to Jing Hexuan, an alien with extremely fast teleportation speed, there are also Zhang Xing and Shi Lingyao, who are also among the fastest among Sai Juechen ability users.
They helped each other in pairs. It took nearly two sticks of incense to travel and returned to the place where they left their horses almost in the blink of an eye.
Several horses were chewing branches leisurely, making a crunching sound.
Jiang Heng was still frightened and looked back: "Those animals aren't chasing you, are they?"
Shi Lingyao shook his head: "This distance is not beyond the range that I can control. Those mutated animals have not broken through the obstacles I set."
Hearing this, Jiang Heng asked her with concern: "Can you still maintain energy output at such a distance? Can you handle it?"
She nodded: "It's not a big problem. After we left a certain distance just now, those mutated animals stopped scratching frantically and have now left one after another and returned to the cave."
Xiaoxiao looked astonished: "That's right! Zombies will give up pursuit after being away from people for a period of time when they can't track their breath. I think these mutated animals are the same!"
Lin Yan also looked like he just remembered: "Hey! It's because these mutated animals came suddenly. In the panic, I didn't think of this trait. Then we don't have to run for our lives in a hurry."
Li Yue nodded: "We can check the surrounding area first to see if there is anything strange about the environment."
He looked around and raised his own question: "If there were really so many people living in this cave, there should be some traces left."
Everyone agreed with this proposal.
Come all come.
Now that the anomaly has been discovered, there is no reason to go back empty-handed.
Jiang Heng asked everyone: "Then we will work separately?"
Shi Lingyao shook his head and said, "No, the situation is not clear right now. This forest is too big and everyone is spread out. If we enter the range that mutated animals can sense and provoke them to scratch again, I want to inform you that it will be too late." .”
Lin Yan nodded in agreement: "That's right! Since the cave can live in people, it means there must be a passage that can be walked openly, at least where people can stretch their bodies and walk? Anyway, it will definitely not be that short crack!"
Shi Lingyao glanced at him.
Lin Yan blinked with a blank look on his face and asked, "What's the matter, Doctor Shi?"
Li Yue chuckled softly: "This is the first time I see you thinking so clearly and analyzing very rationally. You are very powerful!"
Lin Yan: "?"
Is this praising him or scolding him?
Seeing that he was about to curse when he reacted, Shi Lingyao quickly interrupted his prepared momentum and said to everyone: "Lin Yan is right. There must be other places to enter the cave. Those mutated animals might have something to do with it." They will also come out from there, and if we spread out, we will be easily defeated one by one."
Jiang Heng nodded and said, "I didn't think enough about it."
Then they turned around and went back.
Only this time, instead of heading in a straight line towards the target, we went sideways to the foot of the mountain on the other side.
This took a lot of time.
Nothing unusual was discovered along the way.
The wind picked up, making the already cold weather even harsher.
The icy wind passed through the forest, was cut by the towering trees, and turned into a whip hitting everyone's face from all directions, causing the hems of clothes to fly messily.
The air is moist and cold, and every breath turns into white mist, which grows and dissipates again.
The tall tree trunks have been tightly wrapped in frost, and the branches are still hung with crystalline ice edges. At first glance, the branches and ice edges are intertwined, and the trees look like they are arrogant.
The snow that has not yet melted pressed on the branches, blooming a series of snow bells, and when the cold wind blew, these snow bells sang a deep and long tune.
Lin Yan rubbed his arms: "Thankfully it's daytime. If you go into the forest at night and hear this noise, wouldn't you be frightened to pee?"
Zhang Xing sneered: "If you're scared right now, just say so. You still have to wait until night."
Lin Yan glared angrily: "Do you want to fight with me?"
Zhang Xingjian danced in a swish manner: "There is a man! He is afraid of ghosts! He is afraid of ghosts! He is afraid of ghosts!"
Shi Bao, who was on the white tiger's back, chuckled, imitating his example: "He's afraid of ghosts!"
Lin Yan turned his head, deliberately glared at Shi Bao with a fierce look on his face, and pointed at him: "Be careful, little one!"
Xiaoxiao was amused and laughed: "Wow! There are actually grown men bullying children!"
Shi Bao nodded politely: "Shi Bao is a child!"
In anger, Lin Yan turned around and beat Zhang Xing.
The two of them quickly got into a fight, but they did not forget to exercise caution and did not make much noise.
Shi Lingyao was speechless for a moment: "Could it be that the two you brought are professional opera singers."
Jing Hexuan, as their boss, expressed his disgrace and boldly pushed the blame: "No, they have been your subordinates for a long time."
Shi Lingyao: "?"
Lin Yan: "Boss! You are so cruel, boss!"
Everyone else was amused.
Only Jiang Heng didn't seem to be very interested. He just smiled in agreement with a worried look on his face, always alert to his surroundings.
Xiaoxiao noticed his emotions and comforted him: "Zhai Master, don't worry. Didn't City Master Shi say that she can pay attention to the movements of those mutated animals? We are all vigilant about the surroundings."
Jiang Heng smiled bitterly: "I just think it's my fault for bringing everyone to this dangerous situation today. When I came alone that day, I didn't encounter this group of mutated animals. It may also be because I didn't go in-depth at that time..."
"I didn't know the extent of the danger, so I brought everyone here rashly. Fortunately, everyone is very powerful, so there were no casualties. Otherwise, I don't know how to face everyone."
Shi Lingyao was still exploring the surrounding environment carefully. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Come on, you just like to take responsibility for yourself. Who can predict such an accident?"
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are also searching for the truth, and we all came here voluntarily."
Lin Yan, who was fighting fiercely over there, didn't forget to interrupt: "Don't underestimate us, Master Jiang!"
As a result of being distracted and interrupting, Zhang Xing punched him hard. He let out a cry of pain and immediately turned his head to fight back.
The originally peaceful and mysterious ice and snow forest was disturbed by these two idiots and turned into a storybook world in a children's bedtime story.
Jing Hexuan walked beside her and whispered: "We have to hurry up, the snow is likely to fall heavily."
The trees in this forest are densely packed, and the branches are criss-crossed with each other. The tiny snowflakes do not fall down much, making people forget that it is still snowing outside.
It’s just that everyone has been living in this cold apocalypse for more than two years, and has gradually become able to analyze the changes in the weather. Judging from the humidity and coldness in the air, there will be a heavy snowfall next.
