Chapter 1737: Maybe not a circle

If they went wrong the first time, it was an accident, and then the second time it happened, no one would think it was weird.
Even Tan Kai's face, who had previously disapproved of this, couldn't help but darken, his head was covered with cold sweat.
"This... how is this possible..."
The look of Bairentu could not help being unusual. He scanned the huge woods with a blank face and muttered, "The snowy mountain forest where I fled was bigger than here, and the terrain was even more complicated. Lost..."
"We are obviously going forward, how come we are in circles?!"
Kang Jinlong frowned and said in a deep voice, but couldn't figure out the reason.
"Captain He, what do you think is...what is going on?!"
Tan Kai couldn't help but asked Lin Yu.
"I do not know either……"
Lin Yu shook his head lightly, looking at the depths of the woods with scorching eyes, thoughtfully, as if he couldn't understand for a while, what was the mystery in it.
"What's the matter, it must be that his sense of direction has been deviated, and he didn't lead the way!"
Baili suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "This time I am here to lead the way. I have just noticed the characteristics of these trees. The south-facing side is different from the north-facing side. Follow me, it must be no problem!"
He said he walked toward the depths of the woods with his head held up.
Everyone glanced at each other, then their eyes fell on Lin Yu and asked what Lin Yu meant.
"Follow him again!"
Lin Yu said in a deep voice, and then took the initiative to follow.
"I'll see how you lead the way!"
Bai Rentu glanced at Baili coldly, was extremely unconvinced, and turned around to follow.
When everyone saw this, they quickly followed. They all wanted to turn on the flashlights, but Baili stopped them, fearing that too many beams would interfere with his judgment.
As Baili walked, he carefully observed the lines of the trees on both sides to prevent mistakes, so he walked very slowly.
Jiaomu Jiao still insisted on engraving numbers on the trunk, but this time it changed the form of numbers and used the Chinese characters "one, two, three, four, five".
When he was engraving, he occasionally saw some scars on the trunk with similar marks. It may be that other people strayed into the forest and couldn't get out, so they chose the same way of marking the way.
However, the scars on the trees are relatively old and can be seen for a relatively long time.
"Captain He, now we have gone back to the origin twice, wasting two or three hours!"
Tan Kai walked quickly to Lin Yu's side, lowered his head and said solemnly, "It means that the distance between us and Ling Xiao may have increased..."
At this time, Tan Kai suddenly realized that compared to their inability to get out of the woods, the more serious thing was that the distance between them and Ling Xiao was getting bigger and bigger with time!
"Yeah, Captain He, if we continue to consume it like this, I'm afraid Ling Xiao will already have contact with the people of the Xuanwu Elephant!"
Ji Xun also frowned and said with great concern.
"This is not necessarily true!"
Lin Yu scanned the dark woods and said in a deep voice, "You think, when we came in just now, we saw the dead old forest rangers and the footsteps on the ground. This also means that the way Ling Xiao and the others walked, There won’t be too much deviation from us. Just imagine, if we can’t go out, can they definitely go out all at once?!"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Tan Kai and Ji Xun's expressions were lifted.
Yes indeed!
The weirdness of this forest is not specifically aimed at them. If they can't get out, then Ling Xiao and the others might not get out either!
Even if Ling Xiao came early and tried a lot, they would spend a lot of time going out!
So at least as of now, the gap between everyone is still not big!
"But, we walked so many circles and didn't find their footprints?!"
Tan Kai frowned and said worriedly, "All the footprints we have seen are those we have stepped on before!"
"Yes, if they are also going around in circles, they must have already stepped on them, but why didn't we find them?!"
Ji Xun also suddenly recovered.
Lin Yu frowned and said solemnly, "Perhaps, they are not in a circle with us!"
"Not a circle?!"
Tan Kai and Ji Xun couldn't help but change slightly, their expressions a little puzzled.
"I seem to have seen some clues!"
Lin Yu squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, glanced around sharply, and said in a deep voice, "But I'm not sure yet!"
Tan Kai and Ji Xun's eyes lit up when they heard the sound, their expressions were excited, but they didn't dare to speak for fear of affecting Lin Yu.
After they walked all the way for about fifty minutes, Bai Rentu who was walking in front suddenly said coldly, "Come back! We are back again!"
Everyone changed their expressions when they heard the sound. They suddenly looked up and saw that the front was densely covered with footprints they had stepped on, and the bark of the tree was also stripped. One of the trees was written with the number "1". .
Everyone trembled in their hearts, their expressions depressed.
But the previous sense of horror was gone, just a helpless disappointment sigh.
"This is where we first found the stele!"
Jiao Mu Jiao shook his expression when he saw the number he had carved, and glanced left and right, and said anxiously, "Look, the stone tablet is still there!"
"This is the way you lead!"
Bai Rentu gave a cold voice, and sneered at Baili, "It's nothing more than that, on the contrary, it wastes more time!"
Baili's expression was extremely gloomy, and his eyes kept changing, obviously a little surprised.
Tan Kai frowned and glanced around with a flashlight, then his expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously, "Look, what's that in front of me?!"
