"Don't you think about who is responsible for this?"
Feng Feng walked behind, chopping the thorns on the side, gritting his teeth.
"If you hadn't insisted on walking faster this morning, I wouldn't have only eaten one bun!"
"It's at least noon now, aren't you hungry?"
And he didn't just not eat for one morning, he didn't eat for two days!
"Then you are really not picky..." Jin Shile retorted as he walked forward.
The force in his hand that was chopping the thorns suddenly eased, and a large open space appeared in front of him, as well as a passage leading to the scene.
Jin Shile suddenly felt happy and had a sense of enlightenment.
But after seeing the situation ahead clearly, he looked panicked: "Old Four! There's someone ahead!"
"What!"
Feng Feng walked closer and saw traces of trampling and clearing the way ahead.
Countless broken bushes lay on the ground.
Feng Feng's expression was serious: "Are we going to collide so soon?"
They had been traveling for the entire morning and were not in the best condition for fighting.
But I can’t care about that now!
Feng Feng put down his backpack, his eyes serious: "Prepare for battle... Wait, are we missing something?"
"Shh, keep your voice down!" Don't let the person in front of you discover you.
Jin Shile tiptoed past Feng Feng and moved forward.
Now they are in the dark and the other party is in the light.
And judging from how narrow the road was after it was opened, the enemy didn't have many people.
There are three of them, so their chances of winning are still very good.
Wait, three people?
Feng Feng turned back in fear: "Where's the boss?"
Jin was equally horrified: "Where's the boss?!"
"You finally realized that I'm gone..." A voice came faintly from behind.
Mai Xuan stood behind them expressionlessly, not at all moved by the two men's sudden awakening of conscience.
It's been so long since I last saw him, and you only remember him now?
He gets angry when he talks about this.
Mai Xuan brushed off the leaves on his head, his tone full of complaints:
"I kept shouting at you to stop, but you kept chopping away so fast I couldn't stop you!"
He had no choice but to keep chasing.
The two of them were chatting animatedly...
"Shh!" The two men said with serious expressions, "Don't talk yet, there are people in front!"
“Is there someone in front?!”
Mai Xuan straightened his body alertly, then relaxed instantly after seeing the road ahead clearly.
"How is that possible? There's no trace of anyone else on the ground..."
Feng Feng looked at him as if he were a fool: "The ground is full of traces of human activity, and you say there are no traces?"
"These are the traces we left just now." Mai Xuan replied as a matter of course.
"What?!" The two looked at Mai Xuan in shock.
Mai Xuan lost confidence because of the two of them.
After taking another closer look, he was still very sure: "This is the place we just came to."
"Does this tree look familiar to you?"
He walked over to a tree and knocked.
"We used several different weapons to chop down this tree in order to test its resilience."
Feng Feng went forward and observed carefully, and came to a conclusion that he couldn't believe.
“Really…”
The depth and order of the marks were exactly the same as those they had left before.
So... they've come full circle and are back to where they started?!
So shameful!
Feng Feng and Jin Shile covered their faces in frustration.
With so many clues, how come they didn't notice it just now?!
Although Mai Xuan was exhausted and out of breath, he laughed out of anger now:
"I just realized that the direction we were heading was wrong, and I wanted to ask you to stop..."
"Don't you have any sense of direction?"
The imaginary enemy no longer existed, and the two relaxed.
Hearing this, Jin Shile cried out in injustice: "I've never been far away before, how can I tell if my sense of direction is good?"
The most he could remember was the route to each of his schools.
Feng Feng was silent for a moment: "I thought I had a good sense of direction."
Now it seems that I was wrong...
He couldn't even imagine how he would be laughed at if the people in the guild knew what he had done today!
Mai Xuan was speechless: "...Then how dare you two walk ahead?"
"Now isn't the time to blame each other, is it?" Jin Shile grabbed his hair in frustration. "The problem now is that we're lost!"
"There are so many trees here, and it's hard to tell which is denser in the south and sparser in the north. How about we cut down a tree and use its growth rings to determine the direction?"
He looked at the various trees on the roadside. The thinnest ones were thicker than his waist.
It seems that cutting down trees is a big project.
"We can't just have to check the direction once. We can't just run with the stake in our arms, right?"
Feng Feng flatly rejected the proposal.
"Oh!" the two sighed.
I did a lot of research before coming here and knew a lot of ways to confirm the direction, but none of them were easy to get.
Survival in the wilderness is more difficult than they imagined.
If it really doesn't work, they can just stay where they are. At least the water they have can last them for another day.
"Who said we were lost?"
A voice like the sound of nature brought the two back to their senses.
Mai Xuan took out a piece of paper with dense markings on it and smiled proudly.
"I was walking slowly just now because I was drawing a map. If you had listened to me, we would have walked out of this forest long ago!"
Feng Feng took the paper and looked at it. The markings on it were very professional, allowing him to understand the meaning of each marking at a glance.
He lowered his jaw in shock and looked up. "You can actually draw a map? And you even brought a pen and paper?"
Everyone brought everything with them.
It seems that he is carrying a lifeline, a flashlight... It's so ordinary.
