After Xu Jianguo returned to the space, he went straight into the house. Wen Sitian was sitting on the kang sewing a mattress. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she looked up.
"Huh? Jianguo, why did you come back so soon?" Wen Sitian asked as she pinned the needle and thread on the mattress.
"Well, I came back to tell you that the situation in the mountains is a bit complicated, so I won't be back to stay tonight. I'll prepare some things and leave later." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Ah? Is there any danger?" Wen Sitian asked worriedly.
"No, because we are still some distance away from our destination, I have to travel overnight. Don't worry!" Xu Jianguo hugged Wen Sitian and said.
"Well... okay, you must be careful and come back early." Wen Sitian said.
"Yeah, I know!" After saying that, Xu Jianguo held Wen Sitian's face and kissed her hard.
When Xu Jianguo returned to the edge of Mihun Pond from the space again, there was a big mountaineering bag behind him.
At his waist, an object with a cold metallic luster appeared. It was the black iron dagger he had obtained through bartering at the space pawnshop.
The dagger is about 30 centimeters long, double-edged, and hidden in a leather scabbard.
The dagger is completely black, and when light shines on it, it reflects a faint dark blue light. The material of the handle looks like wood but is not, and it has beautiful patterns on it.
Xu Jianguo tried it in the space and found that ordinary objects were vulnerable to its sharp blade. He tried wood and iron, and even found a porcelain bowl, but after one cut, all the objects were as smooth as tofu, and the cut was as smooth as jade, without even a burr.
Standing in the woods of Mihun Pond, Xu Jianguo called up the map in his mind, selected a direction and set off.
Mihun Pond is located in a primeval forest with various trees intertwined with each other. There is no trace of human activity and no roads to follow, but this does not affect Xu Jianguo's speed of movement at all. He moves and jumps in the forest like a cheetah.
About an hour later, Xu Jianguo came to an open area in the forest. Not far in front of him was a natural lake.
Xu Jianguo came to a big tree by the lake, took out a military water bottle from his backpack and took a sip. He tried to call the system and tried to store and retrieve things from the space, but there was no response at all.
Although the system had already given him a heads-up in advance, he still felt a little nervous. After all, his most important relatives were still in the space. If he couldn't go back, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Xu Jianguo pulled up the map in his mind and found that he had completed one-fifth of the journey, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"It seems that this talent skill does not rely on the system and space. I should get more of it if I have the chance in the future." Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
Standing next to the big tree, Xu Jianguo looked at the lake not far away. The lake was quite large and stretched as far as the eye could see.
Thick fog covered the surface of the water, and some long-withered trees could be vaguely seen standing in the water, giving people a feeling of desolation and death.
Xu Jianguo rested by the lake for ten minutes and gradually discovered something wrong.
First of all, this is a primeval forest, which should be rich in flora and fauna, but he did not hear a single insect or bird chirping.
Secondly, he stood in the open area by the lake, but could not feel any air movement, that is, there was no wind, and the lake was calm, as if it were a pool of stagnant water.
In his previous life, Xu Jianguo once heard the captain of his yacht say that in the ocean near the earth's equator, there is an area of sea called the doldrums, where people cannot feel any wind, exactly the same as the lake where he is now.
Xu Jianguo felt a little uneasy, so he didn't stay any longer. After putting the water bottle into his backpack, he chose the nearest direction to avoid the lake from the map in his mind and set off.
Shortly after he left, a ripple suddenly appeared on the originally silent lake surface, and the fog above the water began to churn and swept towards the surrounding shores at an extremely fast speed. In less than a minute, the place where Xu Jianguo had rested before was swallowed up by the thick fog.
Xu Jianguo, who was far away from the lake, seemed to feel something. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the strange lake. He saw that the lake that he could see just now was now hidden in the thick fog.
The uneasy feeling in Xu Jianguo's heart became stronger, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. He used the Taiyi Youlong Zhendian and rushed towards the distance.
But before he ran far, Xu Jianguo felt a strong vibration under his feet, and then a huge noise came from the thick fog in the direction of the lake behind him.
The sound was so sharp and piercing that even Xu Jianguo, who was standing one or two kilometers away, could not resist it and hurriedly covered his ears with his hands.
But even so, he still felt as if his brain was hit by a sledgehammer. His head was splitting with pain, and he squatted down involuntarily, looking at the lake in the distance.
But the next scene seemed to make him forget the pain in his brain, and he stood there in a daze.
I saw a huge, blurry figure emerging from the thick fog of the lake in the distance. The figure was completely black, and it actually flashed a metallic luster under the reflection of the sunlight.
"This... a python? A dragon?" Xu Jianguo muttered to himself.
From the figure, it can be seen that this figure is very similar to a snake, but it is much larger than a snake. Even the anaconda he had seen in his previous life can only be regarded as an earthworm in front of this unknown creature.
Just as Xu Jianguo was in a daze, the figure in the thick fog suddenly began to rise, and then a huge snake-like head emerged from the thick fog, looking down at the surroundings of the lake like a king.
Xu Jianguo estimated with his eyes that based on its currently visible body alone, the length of this guy was more than 50 meters. If its entire body was revealed, it would most likely be more than 100 meters long.
"Rustle, rustle"
Xu Jianguo, who was still observing the figure in the lake, suddenly heard a series of strange noises coming from the woods behind him, and the noises were getting closer and closer to him.
Xu Jianguo didn't dare to stay for long. He chose a tall tree next to him, climbed up in a few steps, then hid himself among the leaves and observed secretly.
