Everyone looked in the direction Yan Min pointed, and sure enough, they found a few black objects not far away. They were burnt charcoal. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused there, Jiang He let Xiao Hei out.
"Hiss..." Xiao Hei made some noises of excitement as soon as he was released from the space. Jiang He pressed its head into his arms.
"Did you hear any sound just now?" Liu Xianwen looked back and found Jiang He and Lu Feng standing at the back, looking at him seriously, which made him wonder if he had heard it wrong.
"No? Is there?" Yan Min blinked innocently.
"No?" Liu Xianwen asked suspiciously.
"No, did you hear it wrong? Uncle Yang, did you hear anything?" Yan Min shook his head, and then asked Yang Xin, who was only focusing on checking the traces on the ground.
"What?" Yang Xin was interrupted and asked curiously.
"Maybe I really heard it wrong." Liu Xianwen turned around and said to his other companions, "Let's hurry up, otherwise who knows what that group of people will do." Then he led the people forward, leaving Jiang He and Yan Min to breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Xiao Hei who had climbed up the tree next to him and said, "Don't make any noise when there are many people around, do you know? Wait a minute, go to the front and see who is over there? Remember not to let them find you."
"Is it often dangerous?" Yan Min was still a little worried about Xiao Hei's safety. After all, there were trees everywhere here. It would be a big loss if he fell and died.
"Don't worry, Xiao Hei used to live in the forest. Although the terrain here is different, the environment is similar. Don't worry." Jiang He said with a smile. Yan Min looked over and found that Xiao Hei was holding his head high with a very proud expression, which made her feel that she had worried for nothing.
By the time the three of them caught up with Liu Xianwen, the team in front stopped again. It turned out that the root of a banyan tree went straight through the middle of the path. If they wanted to get past it, they had to take a detour. But this method obviously didn't work because there were many deep pits of varying sizes on both sides, and it was pitch black. Fortunately, the people who came were all quite skilled, and they were able to climb over it with the help of their strength.
"Look, there are scratches here, and they're quite fresh. Could it be one of those three people?" Yan Min just turned over and saw a scratch on the side of the banyan tree. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, so miserable!"
"Why do you care about him? People die for money, birds die for food. Since they haven't found this place, they should know that accidents might happen." Jiang He had no sympathy or contempt for these people. He just wanted to take the things that his parents protected.
"That's right." Yan Min nodded.
"Bang, bang!" Not long after they turned over, two gunshots were heard, accompanied by the screams of countless birds.
"Get down quickly." Lu Xifeng reacted quickly and shouted to the people in front of him. He then hugged Jiang He and lay directly on the ground, waiting for the gunshots to stop.
"Bang, bang, bang... bang, bang!" The gunshots never stopped. The woods were completely silent except for the sound of birds flying by and the occasional scream of a human being: "Help... snake... python... ah..."
As soon as Jiang He heard it, he knew that he was talking about Xiao Hei. Just as he was about to stand up, he was held down by Lu Feng, "Don't move, Xiao Hei is not alive, look at the top of his head..."
Jiang He followed his line of sight and looked up, and then he saw a black tail retracted into the leaves. He could only mutter quietly, "I was almost scared to death by it."
