Chapter 667 Gunshots
In the misty wind, Xiaolong and I were like two blind men. No matter how hard we tried to open our eyes and sense the surroundings, it was all in vain.
However, the next moment, my heart was shocked because I suddenly heard a footstep coming from the northeast of us.
The footsteps were very faint, almost inaudible in the howling wind, but I still caught them.
I tightly grasped the handle of the short knife at my waist, and slowly reached into my pocket with my other hand, grabbing a demon-repelling talisman. As long as there was a slight movement in the mist, I would not hesitate at all. Biqu Pavilion
But then, I suddenly frowned.
Because the footsteps that just came out suddenly disappeared!
"No, it's not disappeared, but the owner of the footsteps stopped and stopped in the mist!"
This thought made me very surprised. Because I was too nervous, even the hand holding the handle of the knife broke out in a layer of cold sweat.
"Wuwuwu!..."
The howling wind was like a ghost crying at this moment, howling non-stop, and the rolling mist was like a white veil covering our eyes, leaving us with only the rolling white.
But in the next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the mist.
After seeing this hand, I was startled and almost subconsciously drew my sword. The little warrior beside me even uttered a cry of surprise and raised his gun to shoot.
But the next moment, a familiar voice suddenly came out.
"Who!"
This voice was also full of fear, and it was obvious that he was also scared.
"Xiao Li?" I pressed the gun in Xiao Long's hand and whispered, "I am Zhang Qianyu!"
"Captain Zhang?" Xiao Li's voice clearly had a hint of surprise. Then, in the rolling fog, Xiao Li and Xiao Fan broke through the fog together and walked out with a "whoosh".
"Why are you here?" Xiaolong looked suspicious. After a series of events, everyone was extremely nervous. Even though he saw the faces of the two people, Xiaolong did not put down his gun. Instead, he pointed the gun at them calmly.
Moreover, our groups were all going in different directions. Logically, it was impossible for us to meet. Therefore, Xiaolong and I were both highly alert.
"I don't know either." Xiao Li shook his head and said, "We were originally planning to go back and meet up with everyone by the fire, but Junior Brother Fan and I seemed to have lost our way. We walked for a long time but couldn't get back. Then... we heard footsteps."
Xiao Fan behind Xiao Li also nodded and said, "We thought we had encountered something dirty and were about to take action after finding it, but we didn't expect it to be Captain Zhang."
I frowned when I heard that. Before, I heard the footsteps of the two first, and then they should have heard the voices of Xiao Long and me, but they didn't determine the specific location, so the footsteps of the two disappeared instantly. At that moment, the two should have been sensing the location of Xiao Long and me.
"Are you also lost?" Xiao Long was relieved when he heard that.
"What do you mean? You and Captain Zhang also..." Xiao Li and Xiao Fan were shocked. They obviously didn't expect that they were not the only ones trapped.
Xiao Long whispered, "We can't find the way back, but didn't you go north? How did you end up here?"
"Yes, we went north. Isn't this north?" Xiao Li looked at me and asked, "Captain Zhang, which direction did you go?"
"West!" I whispered.
"West?" Xiao Li frowned. "West and north, there is a possibility of meeting, but... are we going in the wrong direction, or are you going in the wrong direction?"
This question is crucial. If we are going in the wrong direction, then we can continue to go in the direction that Xiao Li and Xiao Fan remember, so that we can go back. But if Xiao Li and Xiao Fan are going in the wrong direction, then we can also go back in our direction.
But what if... we all go in the wrong direction?
In this foggy deep forest, if there is no reference, it is normal to take a detour. If both of our teams take a detour, then we are very likely to be farther and farther away from the fire.
"In my memory..." I pondered for a moment, then pointed in the direction in front of me and said, "We should be able to go back if we go this way."
The direction I pointed to was the east, but Xiao Li and Xiao Fan shook their heads and said, "Captain Zhang, you remembered it wrong, we should go the other way."
Xiao Li and Xiao Fan went north, so they should go south to go back, while Xiao Long and I went west, so we should go east to go back.
But now, I said east, and Xiao Li and Xiao Fan obviously wanted to go south. Regardless of whether the east and south we said were accurate, just talking about the direction, the four of us had a disagreement.
"How about we go first according to what Captain Zhang said?" Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Li and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
"We can try." Xiao Li nodded.
"Okay, let's go." After I finished speaking, I took the lead and walked forward. The three of us immediately followed closely.
However, after the four of us had walked for more than ten minutes, the campfire still did not appear. At this moment, I was shocked and basically confirmed that my direction was wrong.
"This time we will go south." Xiao Li said, I nodded, and then the four of us started to walk south again.
This time, we walked for a longer time, nearly 20 minutes, but let alone the campfire, we didn't even find the Yizhuang.
"We... won't be trapped here to death, right?" Xiaolong looked frustrated and sat down on the ground.
"We can only wait until dawn!" I whispered.
"What if the fog still doesn't dissipate after dawn?" Xiao Li asked.
I shook my head when I heard that: "We can only wait and see. If the fog really doesn't dissipate, we can only think of another way."
In fact, I have a way to dispel the fog here at this time, that is to release the Yang Wu Lei.
But releasing the Yang Wu Lei consumes too much energy. We haven't rested well during this period of time. In addition, we are about to hatch the Yin land, so we must conserve our strength. Using the Yang Wu Lei to dispel the fog is a bit too much. It seems to be no different from using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.
Just when we were all standing there in a daze, all of a sudden, we heard a loud bang. When
Xiaolong heard the loud bang, he was shocked and stood up in a flash, saying in surprise, "It was a gunshot!"
