Chapter 127 - 121: Mysterious Shadow_3
Chapter 127: Chapter 121: Mysterious Shadow_3Moreover, the entire path was covered in dense vegetation; in some places, even sunlight couldn’t penetrate. The forest floor was blanketed with a thick layer of dead leaves that had accumulated over the years.
Checking the GPS, it took the pair two hours just to cover one-third of the distance.
Fortunately, they had already climbed over the highest peak before, and now they were on the descent. Moreover, the vegetation became sparser and they could see the long-lost sunlight again.
After about another hour, Lin Yang suddenly heard rustling noises in the forest and immediately stopped, protecting Yue’er behind him.
At that moment, a yellowish-brown figure flashed by not far from them.
When Lin Yang looked towards the source of the noise, the yellowish-brown shadow seemed to notice them as well. It stopped its rapid movement through the woods and started to move closer to their direction.
Lin Yang took a careful look and was shocked; the animal in the distance was predominantly yellow-grey-brown and its size and appearance were somewhat similar to a wolf’s, only smaller.
Seeing this, he drew a short knife from his waist.
"What’s wrong, Brother Yang?" Seeing Lin Yang stop and the tense expression on his face, she asked in confusion.
Lin Yang gestured with his eyes towards the wild wolf-like animal in the distance and whispered, "There’s a wolf."
Yue’er followed his gaze and also spotted the animal.
"It’s a fox!"
After her exclamation, the girl quickly took out her phone and started taking photos, which completely baffled Lin Yang.
Sister, even if it’s not a wolf, but a wild fox,
Shouldn’t you be scared? Why are you taking photos? What kind of thought process is this?
Watching Lin Yang tense up beside her, Yue’er couldn’t help but laugh, "Haha, it’s a Fire Fox, very gentle and also very timid."
"I can’t miss this, I need to take more photos before it runs away," she said as she changed angles and continued to snap several more pictures.
Perhaps believing the two ’Horror upright apes’ in front of it were acting too strange, the Fire Fox stayed for just over ten seconds before swiftly running away.
Seeing this, Lin Yang’s face turned red with embarrassment, feeling foolish for the misunderstanding despite having done extensive re
After saying this, she hurriedly hid behind Lin Yang.
Lin Yang almost laughed out when he saw a snake about forty to fifty centimeters long on the water’s surface.
This snake had a round head and light-colored patterns distributed along its body. As someone who often went fishing outdoors, he recognized at a glance that this was a common non-toxic water snake.
He shook his head as he looked at Yue’er hiding behind him. Just now, when the rare Fire Fox appeared, she wasn’t the slightest bit scared, yet now she was petrified by a water snake.
Indeed, snakes are a woman’s natural enemy.
"It’s okay, it’s just a water snake, it’s not poisonous," Lin Yang patted her hand that was still clutching his arm, trying to comfort her.
Due to the appearance of this water snake, Yue’er kept her distance from the stream, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing down at her feet as if afraid that the same water snake would crawl over.
With this little incident, she was reluctant to stay here any longer, and after quickly eating some food, the two set off again.
