"Lu Xuan, there are indeed some intermittent black lines here, but what do they mean?"
When Shen Keyin took the sheepskin, she glanced at both sides of the scroll. She did see some black marks on the back, but they were intermittent and appeared quite random. An ordinary person would hardly delve into the secrets hidden behind these marks. So, not only Shen Keyin, but even Lu Xuan hadn't paid much attention.
"Look here. If I'm not mistaken, this darker mass is the entrance to our tunnel. Continue along this path, and you'll find a fork. Then there's another fork... until you reach this darker mass."
It wasn't until Lu Xuan gestured with his index finger that everyone suddenly understood.
This seemingly inconspicuous sheepskin seems to be a simple map.
"Handsome boy, sure. Now your brain is almost as good as our CEO Leng's."
Yin Yichen blinked at Lu Xuan and even put her arm around Leng Mengyao, making Leng Mengyao feel a little embarrassed.
"Lu Xuan, what are these marks on the front of this map? Did Alucia tell you?"
Thinking that his group had finally deciphered the "ghostly talismans" on the back of the sheepskin, Shen Keyin turned the sheepskin over again and began to figure out the pattern on the front.
"Well... the old man himself doesn't seem to know the answer. He just said it was passed down from above. Let's keep it for now. It's already daybreak, and we haven't found Vivian yet, so we can't waste any more time here. We have to hurry."
At this moment, although several people looted the practical supplies in Charlie's tribe, the most important task was still not completed, so Lu Xuan did not dare to delay here for too long.
Since Vivian was not found in Charlie's tribe, there seemed to be only one place left, which was the tribal branch mentioned by Taylor and Aphrodite, and the second black mark marked on the map on the back of the sheepskin.
"Then let's go now. Are we just going to leave this Alusha and the one who fainted on the ground like this?"
When passing by the tied-up Alushia again, Shen Keyin seemed a little worried and pointed at the two people.
"It's okay. I didn't kill him with my sword, which was already a kind act. Leave him here, someone will come to rescue him when the time comes. The success of our plan depends entirely on him."
Lu Xuan didn't care at all. Just as he said, if he didn't need the old man to help him convey his "spirit", the old man might have gone to see the King of Hell.
As for whether the man lying on the ground was dead or alive, Lu Xuan didn't care. It was enough to have this old man "speaking" for him.
The six people passed through the tribe, and Lu Xuan led everyone to the front of the rock wall again and successfully found the entrance to the cave.
Leng Mengyao and Aphrodite lit two more torches. Together with the flashlight in Lu Xuan's hand, the six of them now had three sources of light, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to see the road clearly after entering the tunnel.
"Mengyao, you and Yichen guard the rear, I'll lead the way."
Lu Xuan rearranged the order of the team, then he himself, holding a flashlight and the sheepskin, jumped into the tunnel first.
After confirming that the tunnel was safe again, Lu Xuan waved to the people above.
Taylor, Chen Keyin, Aphrodite, Yin Yichen and Leng Mengyao also entered the deep tunnel one after another according to the predetermined order.
At this time, with the sheepskin map in his hand, Lu Xuan felt much more at ease. He led everyone quickly to the first fork in the road. Lu Xuan followed the instructions on the map, decisively turned to the left, and then continued to move forward along the tunnel.
Chen Keyin was the most timid person in the team, so even though there were fires and lights to guide her, and even though she was in the middle of the team, the fear from the bottom of her heart still lingered like mist.
In stark contrast to Shen Keyin was the fearless Miss Yin. This girl's eyes sparkled with endless curiosity and a desire to explore the world. Deep in the tunnels, even the slightest cracks and subtle shifts in light and shadow easily piqued her interest.
If Lu Xuan hadn't wisely arranged her before Leng Mengyao, with her irrepressible adventurous spirit, Miss Yin would have already broken free from the team and embarked on a journey to find miracles alone...
"Yichen, stop looking and follow the person in front..."
The most miserable one was Leng Mengyao, who had to urge Yin Yichen to hurry up from time to time.
Lu Xuan, who was leading the way, soon came to the second fork in the road. He glanced at the sheepskin map in his hand and chose to go to his left again.
However, the road on the left suddenly became narrower. The road that was originally sixty or seventy centimeters wide was now less than fifty centimeters.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan and his group are all in good shape. If they were replaced by a fat person, like that fat pig, they would probably not be able to pass through here at all.
"What a lousy place this is! Why is it so narrow? They don't know how to widen it. I should have taken the road on the right."
Yin Yichen was originally quite cheerful and was looking around, but now, due to the suddenly narrowing tunnel, the girl started nagging again.
"Okay, the third fork in the road is just ahead. Go right for another hundred meters and we'll be out soon. Everyone, cheer up. I don't know what the situation is out there. Taylor and I will go out and take a look. The four of you stay inside and wait for our news."
When Lu Xuan saw the fork in the road ahead again, he deliberately stopped, turned around and gave a few instructions to the people behind him. After all, they were about to exit the tunnel, and the specific situation outside was still unknown.
"That Alucia rarely comes here. He just said that there are about ten people living here, so we should be careful."
Taylor also asked Alusha in detail about this tribal branch, but did not get more useful information. He only knew that the original number of savages here was large, but even Alusha was not sure how many people were left now. Obviously, the tribal leader was already dead in name only, and the real leader of the Charlie tribe was still Richard.
"Don't worry, we have weapons in our hands, and the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. Even if there are ten or eight of them, it won't be a problem for us."
At this critical moment, Lu Xuan naturally had to boost the team's morale.
When everyone passed the last fork in the road, there was suddenly light at the end of the road ahead. Obviously, the exit indicated on the map was just around the corner.
Lu Xuan, holding a hunting rifle, was the first to rush out of the tunnel exit...
