Chapter 40: The Digital Forces' Lab
As soon as Jiang He and Lu Mingfeng entered the forest, they felt the temperature difference was very large. The sunlight from the sky passed through the leaves and shone through, without adding any warmth. Not only that, the air was also mixed with a strong smell of decay, which made people feel nauseous.
"What do you think? Could something have really happened to Erniu?" Jiang He said as he walked. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and some tree roots protruded from the ground and had grown as high as a person's knee.
"Impossible." Lu Mingfeng said, "It is possible that Erniu did not enter the forest at all. I know Youhui, he would not let a child take risks. If my guess is correct, the child should be sleeping under his own bed now." Lu Mingfeng analyzed.
Jiang He turned around and smiled, "It's rare to hear you talk so much today. It's really rare."
Lu Mingfeng glanced around and said, "Youhui and the others probably didn't take this road. Let's take another one."
Jiang He also observed the traces on the ground. There were indeed no footprints. He stood on a boulder half a person's height and looked down. "There seems to be some traces of being trampled on the west side. Let's go over there."
"Okay." Lu Mingfeng immediately changed direction, and the two of them soon came to a lush jungle. The sun here could not shine down, so the surrounding brightness had obviously decreased.
"Jiang He, come here and take a look." Lu Mingfeng shouted in the direction of Jiang He.
Jiang He walked over and saw that there were many broken tree trunks, some even broken into several pieces. There were several dark holes on the ground, which looked like the scene of the traps being destroyed. Moreover, these traps seemed to have been set for a long time. "It seems that the fish are about to take the bait."
"Youhui and the others should be going in this direction. Let's follow them." Lu Mingfeng said as he walked inside first.
Jiang He followed him, and after they walked for a distance, they saw Lu Mingfeng suddenly stop. Jiang He also stopped with Lu Mingfeng, and looked in the direction Lu Mingfeng pointed. He found several dead animals lying on the ground, their bodies already stiff.
The two carefully checked them. Jiang He frowned. The bodies of the animals in front of him looked very strange. The skin was almost attached to the skeleton, as if something had sucked their blood and thrown them away. There was also a destroyed trap next to them. "Strange, how could this happen?"
Jiang He saw the corpse of this animal and it reminded him of something in a horror novel he had read before. He was quite unfamiliar with this world. Since he could use a corpse to revive, did that mean there were other things here?
Maybe it was just his own random thoughts. There were many kinds of animals that suck blood in this world, such as vampire bats. This thing gets blood from animals. But how could this thing appear here?
"What's wrong?" Jiang He's abnormality quickly attracted Lu Mingfeng's attention.
"I don't know either. I always feel that things might be a little troublesome." Jiang He said with some annoyance.
"What's the meaning?"
