Chapter 414: Companion
While in town, Chen Yimin met a team heading to the Death Forest. At their invitation, he decided to go with them.
After all, listening to what Sang Guo said, this place is quite scary. If we travel together, we can explore the real situation here.
When I came to the Death Forest, I heard that no one who entered the Death Forest had ever returned.
The Death Forest is also called a forbidden area by the locals, and it took them a lot of effort to reach the edge of the Death Forest.
It really is called the Forest of Death, Chen Yimin thought to himself.
This forest seemed to be full of magic, giving people a feeling of oppression. Pu Que felt uncomfortable, but when he looked at Shen Yangke beside him, his face was filled with longing.
There are four people who came to the Death Forest this time. One is the archaeologist Ji Xi, another is Pu Que who is most yearning for this kind of legendary place, and the others are Shen Yangke and Chen Yimin.
Chen Yimin came to this strange team purely by accident. He met them on the road and discovered that they were coming here.
They invited Chen Yimin to go to the Forest of Death together.
Just by looking at the Death Forest, Ji Xi felt an indescribable depression in his heart, and the fanaticism in his heart became even deeper.
He had a premonition that if he could walk out of the Death Forest this time, he would become a leader in the archaeological world.
Just looking at it, you can see that it is full of secrets.
"It's so beautiful here." Ji Xi couldn't suppress his inner desire to enter the forest.
Pu Que stopped him and glanced at the others: "I just read my fortune and this trip to the forest is more dangerous than good. I want to withdraw..."
Looking at the Death Forest, Shen Yangke felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. He shook his head and said, "I must go to this place."
Shen Yangke felt that something was calling him, so he had to go no matter what. Ji Xi was also attracted to the Forest of Death at this time.
Chen Yimin came here specifically for the Death Forest, so naturally he was unwilling to withdraw rashly.
The minority obeys the majority, and what's more, they came together, so naturally they should leave together.
Now that the other three disagreed, Pu Que had no choice but to go, but the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Pu Que made up his mind, and he followed the two of them all over the country for many years.
You've seen all kinds of dangers, so why would you be afraid of a forest like this?
Chen Yimin pursed his lips and asked about their affairs calmly: "I see that you seem to have a very good relationship?"
Pu Que was a simple man. He nodded and looked at the road ahead. "We are travel enthusiasts. We met during a trip. Shen Yangke saved me, and I have been following him ever since."
Chen Yimin nodded and looked at Ji Xi who was walking in front. His eyes were full of enthusiasm and he seemed to like this place.
"What about him?"
Pu Que frowned even more, "He...he is a madman. He has become obsessed with archaeology. He heard that there is Satan's tomb here, so he came here specially."
Satan...
Isn’t that a legendary mythical figure?
"So, I say he is a lunatic." Pu Que added, "But don't underestimate him, he is still very powerful."
Thinking of the tortoise shell copper coin that Pu Que had been holding, Chen Yimin couldn't help but ask him curiously: "Can your tortoise shell copper coin really calculate something?"
Pu Que was a little unhappy: "You can question me, but you are not allowed to question my fortune-telling ability!"
He has studied this for more than ten years and is quite famous in the industry.
Chen Yimin nodded and stopped talking. He had just joined the team and didn't have much say, so he just had to go with the flow.
The Death Forest is a place where no one has set foot all year round, and everything here is in its most primitive state.
The tall and lush trees blocked out all the sunlight, with only a few spots of sunlight visible through the gaps between the leaves. The forest was overgrown with weeds, which reached their waists. The three of them walked through it with difficulty.
I don’t know how long I have been walking, but Pu Que felt that he was exhausted. He was born fat, and although he exercised regularly, he couldn’t stand this.
He was breathing heavily, sweat dripping down his round cheeks.
Pu Que waved his hand and sat down with his back against the tree.
"It's not going to work anymore, Brother Shen, let's take a break."
Shen Yangke's handsome brows furrowed slightly. He felt that this place was too dangerous and the weeds were too deep. He didn't know what would pop up next.
Chen Yimin was also staring at the surroundings with caution. Ever since he came in, he always had a creepy feeling. He felt that someone was staring at him in the dark, but when he looked over, everything seemed normal.
Chen Yimin began to feel irritated inexplicably, and when that feeling came to his mind, he froze. He had never been such an irritable person before. No, something was wrong here.
"We can't do this here. The grass is too deep and something could happen easily." Ji Xi looked around, stepped over the weeds and pulled Pu Que up .
Pu Que knew it in his heart, but his physical strength didn't keep up. He had been walking for four or five hours and didn't know when it would end.
"Let's take a five-minute break. If we can't get out, we'll have to find a place to rest." Shen Yangke licked his dry lips and looked at the endless weeds.
The four of them sat close together with their backs against a big tree, and a small flat area of one square meter was cleared in front of them.
"Brother Shen, I regret it."
Pu Que looked at the compass in his hand. It had been malfunctioning since he came in.
Ji Xi buried his head, his eyes gleaming, "Maybe it's the magnetic field here that caused our compass to malfunction."
This kind of thing is very common, and they have experienced it many times. Pu Que knew it in his heart, but he didn't know why he was particularly panicked this time.
Chen Yimin said to him: "Don't worry too much, we can find a way."
Chen Yimin had a good impression of the little fat guy. After all, it was he who asked him to join them so that they could take care of him along the way.
Although the other two people looked unhappy, they did not refuse, but just tacitly agreed that he was in the team.
During the whole journey, the two of them also treated him as if he didn't exist and ignored him. Only Pu Que was alone, fearing that he would be lonely and afraid, so he made a special trip to walk with him and talked to him from time to time.
Pu Que is a good person, Chen Yimin can feel it, so he only shows his kindness to him.
But Pu Que was not comforted at all and he remained silent.
Shen Yangke also patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will definitely find the secret of the Death Forest this time. When we get out, we may become a celebrity."
Pu Que lowered his voice, fear in his eyes: "Brother Shen, Ji Xi, Chen Yimin, didn't you notice?"
