The two bodies are missing!!!
When he confirmed that this was the place where he had ambushed the two criminals, but the two bodies were missing, Lu Xuan found it difficult to accept it for a while. He even thought that he might have remembered the wrong place where the bodies were dumped, and wandered around searching for a long time.
But after seeing the drag marks with his own eyes, Lu Xuan had to accept the fact.
The two bodies really disappeared...
Lu Xuan followed the traces of the body being dragged westward with a vigilant look, but found that the traces of the body being dragged turned in the opposite direction of the beach through the gaps in the bushes.
"Lu Xuan, it's obvious that someone has been here. Even the bushes have been destroyed."
The sharp-eyed and careful Leng Mengyao quickly noticed the dragging marks on the ground.
The bushes showed signs of being destroyed from east to west, and the pushing and pulling marks on the mud were even more clearly visible. However, after the marks turned from the bushes to the depths of the jungle, they became blurred and almost completely invisible.
"The soil here is hard, so it's not easy to leave traces. But if we search for it ourselves, we should be able to find it... We found it, and it's been dragged over here!"
Lu Xuan bent down, half-squatted, and carefully examined the marks on the ground with his head down. Finally, he found some clues.
The dragging tracks left the bushes and went deeper into the jungle.
"Lu Xuan, it seems that the mark is gone again..."
The two followed the traces all the way to the depths of the jungle...but the dragging marks on the ground disappeared inexplicably.
Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and saw confusion and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"Lu Xuan, you said this body has been stranded on a deserted island. Who would want it? Could it be that it was dragged away by some wild beast?"
After a moment's silence, Leng Mengyao frowned and asked a question that Lu Xuan was also confused about, and at the same time, put forward a hypothesis.
Lu Xuan nodded, agreeing with Leng Mengyao's point of view. After all, this was a deserted island. There was no use for humans to have the body. Unless they were starving to the point of cannibalism, no one would want the body.
The only possibility is that the corpse was spotted by wolves, tigers and leopards, who dragged it away and found a safe and secluded place to eat it.
But there's a saying that goes, "If they're alive, we'll have to see their bodies; if they're dead, we'll have to see their bodies." It was practically impossible to expect these two to come back alive, but even if they were torn to pieces by wolves and tigers, at least some bones would have been left. This was inexplicably gone, like they'd vanished into thin air. It was simply unbelievable.
"Let's look for it again. Look up and down, left and right. Don't stray too far from me."
Holding the harpoon, Lu Xuan continued to explore deeper into the jungle with Leng Mengyao. The search range even expanded to the treetops... There might be some animals like leopards that like to drag food up the trees.
But after searching for another ten minutes, they still found no trace of anything. It was as if the two bodies had vanished from the face of the earth, truly becoming "no trace left".
"Forget it, let's stop looking. I've never been here before, so let's not rush in. We can't stay here for long. Let's go back to the shore, get some Impatiens, and then return the way we came."
The two of them were busy but found nothing. The deeper they went into the jungle, the more scared Lu Xuan felt.
Looking around, the dense vegetation is like a tangled thought, with vines entwined and branches intertwined, forming an insurmountable natural barrier; the ground underfoot is slippery and muddy; the air is filled with the mixed smell of soil and rotten leaves; from time to time, the low hum of unknown creatures can be heard in the jungle, making people feel chilly.
The sunlight here becomes stingy and weak, and can only barely penetrate the layers of green, casting mottled light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness to this already dim jungle.
As the saying goes, fear comes from the unknown. This inexplicable fear, coupled with this strange and gloomy environment, makes people feel even more uneasy and fearful.
Although he really wanted to find out where the two bodies had gone, even if it meant just seeing a single skeleton, Lu Xuan also understood that wandering around in the jungle without a clue was not only pointless but also prone to encountering unknown dangers. So, after some consideration, Lu Xuan decided to abandon his exploration and return the same way.
In the face of safety, everything else becomes less important.
"good……"
Even Lu Xuan, a man, felt a little uneasy at this moment, not to mention Leng Mengyao who grew up in the city. The girl's face turned pale and even her voice changed.
When she heard Lu Xuan asking her to return the same way, she stood there for a long time before uttering a word tremblingly, then turned around and started walking back tremblingly.
"Watch your steps and go back the way you came."
Seeing the girl so scared, Lu Xuan quickened his pace and chased after her, trying to comfort her with a few words.
“Okay…Okay…”
Leng Mengyao was still very nervous. At this moment, the usually cold and aloof female president was completely like a little girl who urgently needed adult protection.
"Hold my hand and keep your eyes on the road. Just keep going straight and you'll see the beach soon."
Lu Xuan took the initiative to reach out and grab Leng Mengyao's right hand. What Lu Xuan didn't expect was that this cold female president not only did not resist at all, but instead held his left hand tightly.
But Lu Xuan felt that the girl's hands were cold, and it was obvious that she was really scared.
The two of them walked hand in hand towards the direction of the sound of waves. Although Leng Mengyao was still nervous, her steps were much faster. Lu Xuan could see that this girl now had only one idea, which was to get away from this jungle full of unknowns as soon as possible.
"Lu... Lu Xuan, seal, mark... there is a mark here..."
After walking a few steps, Leng Mengyao, who had been looking down at the ground, suddenly pointed at the soil on the ground excitedly and shouted.
Lu Xuan immediately looked down in the direction of Leng Mengyao's finger and saw traces of dragging.
"Heading west...why don't you wait here and I'll go take a look."
At this moment, Lu Xuan actually wanted to leave this broken place as soon as possible, but he had finally discovered a clue, and he would be unwilling to give up just like that.
"I...I'll go with you..."
When Leng Mengyao heard Lu Xuan ask him to stay alone, she immediately shook her head like a rattle. It was obvious that what she feared most at the moment wasn't the two missing bodies, nor the creepy, gloomy jungle, but being left alone.
"Okay, follow me and watch your step!"
"Ah~~~ Lu Xuan..."
Before Lu Xuan finished speaking, he found that his feet were empty, and then he fell down with Leng Mengyao...
