320 Found It (2)

There was a little dirt on it. It was still fresh.

Along the way, Thirty Thousand would show Mo Yuan any wild fruits he saw to see if they were poisonous. If they weren’t, he would pick some.

No one ate, except for him.

After entering the fog, he did not dare to run around again. He had already finished his stockpile. If this was the first time they had pa.s.sed through, the core would not be here.

Shen Yijia inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was blowing into her ear.

Whoosh.

She shuddered and jumped onto Song Jingchen’s body. Her legs wrapped tightly around his waist and she buried her face in his neck.

Song Jingchen almost lost his balance because of her sudden actions. He took a few steps back to stabilize himself.

Realizing their posture, his ears burned. He coughed dryly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s a ghost!” Shen Yijia’s voice was low, and Song Jingchen could only hear her breathing.

Song Jingchen was stunned. He guessed that she was mistaken. He found it funny. She wasn’t afraid of the wild wolves, but she was actually afraid of something illusory.

And she herself…

Song Jingchen retracted his thoughts and patted Shen Yijia’s back to comfort her. “We must have been distracted by this fog, so we’ve been circling around.”

“Really?” Shen Yijia asked in a m.u.f.fled voice.

“Really.” Song Jingchen’s voice was firm.

Shen Yijia raised her head and carefully looked behind her. Then, she looked around. There were only trees in the fog.

Meeting Song Jingchen’s half-smile, Shen Yijia felt a little embarra.s.sed. She jumped down from him and tugged at her ears. “Then where should we go now?”

Song Jingchen frowned and pondered. He had a guess, but he still had to verify it.

He said, “Let’s try walking again.”

This time, Song Jingchen walked in front. At regular intervals, he would mark a direction on the tree trunks they pa.s.sed.

Shen Yijia followed closely behind him. Seeing him like this, she forgot to imagine anything out of curiosity.

After walking for nearly an hour.

“Hubby, look.”

The withered tree appeared in front of them again.

Shen Yijia was not afraid now, but her head was filled with question marks. They had clearly been walking forward.

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and became even more curious about the thing behind the parchment. He walked to the withered tree and looked at the mark he had made. He said in a low voice, “It should be a smokescreen.”

As a child, he had seen people perform tricks and read such books out of curiosity.

The so-called magic trick was actually a diversionary tactic, but it was relatively superficial.

Deeper illusions could even be used in formations.

The thick fog narrowed their field of vision. They thought they had been moving forward, but they were actually circling.

This seemed simple, but people would always feel fear towards the unknown. The fear in their hearts would mess up their thoughts, and they could only be trapped in the end.

This should be the reason why there were no ferocious beasts here.

“Huh?” Shen Yijia was stunned. In her previous life, she lived in seclusion. Otherwise, she would have known that there was something called magic.

Song Jingchen explained his guess. Seeing that Shen Yijia was frowning, he rubbed her head in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Think about it slowly in the future. Let’s go out first.”

Shen Yijia nodded meekly.

Looking at Mo Yuan and Thirty Thousand’s expressions, she knew that they were the same as her. They still didn’t know much, so Shen Yijia felt better.

It wasn’t that she was too stupid, but that her beautiful husband was too smart.

This time, Song Jingchen didn’t insist on making marks. He walked in a general direction for a while and stopped.

Shen Yijia saw him close his eyes and think for a moment. He turned in another direction. In short, in Shen Yijia’s opinion, the path he took was full of twists and turns.

However, after repeating this a few times, the thick fog around them became fainter and fainter until it disappeared.

Shen Yijia felt that the veil covering her eyes had been lifted. It felt great.

After leaving the fog, the few of them ate some simple rations to fill their stomachs before continuing their journey.

Of course, Shen Yijia ate the jerky that Song Jingchen had prepared in advance.

Shen Yijia often ate alone along the way. She no longer knew what embarra.s.sment was. As she ate, she would occasionally stuff a few pieces into Song Jingchen’s mouth.

This place was very close to the place marked by the route. After walking for less than an hour…

Looking at the scene in front of her, Shen Yijia was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t the cave she had imagined, nor was it like in the book. She imagined that there would be a rock mountain in front of them, and when they found the mechanism, a secret door would appear.
