The five people soon arrived near the Tushen Creek.
The sound of running water gradually came from the front of the dense jungle, and a winding stream lay in front of them.
Ye Wuwen looked around the stream and said, "I don't seem to see any marks left here.
Let's search up and down the stream to see where the marks were left.
You may not be very clear about the markings, so let me draw them for you to see. " As Ye Wuwen spoke, he knelt down and used the gravel on the ground to draw a long and narrow leaf on the soil.
A leaf not only has a leaf surface, but also a petiole.
A vein in the middle divides the leaf into left and right halves.
Ye Wuwen pointed to the leaf he drew and said, "Look at the leaf I drew, the direction of the petiole represents the direction they are traveling.
Generally speaking, patterns are carved on tree trunks, slightly above the visual field.
After all, when walking in the jungle, most people pay more attention to the situation under their feet and rarely look at areas higher than their field of vision.
This also reduces the chance of our marks being noticed by others.
If the direction of the petiole points directly upward, it means that they are moving towards due north based on this carved object.
If the petiole points downward, it means that they have gone to the south.
The left is the west and the right is naturally the east.
Of course, there are four directions: southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, which all correspond to it.
And the veins on the leaves are also very particular.
Like me, if there is only one vein in the middle, it means that the situation is extremely critical and that help is urgently needed.
With one more vein, the severity of the situation decreases by one point.
There are four veins in total, divided on the left and right leaves.
If all four veins are present, it means that their situation is very safe.
After all, being able to carefully draw all four leaf veins is enough to show that it is relatively easy to depict a person's state at that time. " After hearing Ye Wuwen's explanation, Ye Li understood the meaning of the hunting team's mark.
After Ye Wuwen explained, he threw away the gravel in his hand, then stood up and said, "Okay, you guys, open your eyes and look carefully at the trees next to the stream to see where this mark is engraved.
According to my understanding of the fourth brother, the mark he carved was definitely on the tree along the stream. " After the four of them nodded, they split up to search nearby.
Soon, a call came from Elder Ning.
When other people heard the noise, they quickly moved closer.
Ye Li saw Elder Ning standing in front of a big tree, and a little above his head, there was indeed a small leaf pattern carved there.
Everyone hurriedly walked in and took a look.
The leaves were carved horizontally on the tree, and the direction of the petiole was pointing to the left, which represented due west.
Ye Wuwen looked around and said, "As far as I know, the other side of the creek is due west.
They must have waded across the creek from here to the other side.
Let's follow the signs and catch up."
Ye Li looked at the leaves.
All four veins were there, indicating that the hunting team had not encountered any abnormalities.
Following the guidance of the leaves, they waded through the stream and continued westward.
Soon after, they saw a second leaf mark, pointing to the northwest.
After looking at it, Ye Wuwen said: "Well, it is indeed the direction to the maze.
Let's follow it and have a look."
Following the route's guidance, the group quickly shuttled through the mountain forest, constantly finding leaf marks one after another, and soon came to a cliff.
When Ye Li saw that there seemed to be no road here, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.
Ye Wuwu stood on the edge of the cliff, looked at Ye Li who was full of doubts, and said, "Ye Li, come here and take a look."
Ye Li hurriedly walked over and stood on the edge of the cliff.
Suddenly, a huge cave appeared under the cliff, which stunned Ye Li.
This cave lies completely flat on the ground and is at least two thousand meters wide.
The staggered stone paths below and caves extending in all directions extend deep into the ground.
The bottom of the cave is not completely hollow, so Ye Li doesn't know how deep the underground cave is.

Looking at Ye Li's shocked face, Ye Wuwu smiled slightly and said: "Ye Li, this is the maze.
Look at the path next to it, that's where you go down. " Ye Wuwu pointed outside the cliff, and Ye Li saw that there was a stone path protruding from the outside of the cliff, leading directly to the maze cave at the bottom of the cliff along the surrounding rock walls.
"Third Grandpa, is this maze formed naturally or man-made?"
Ye Li looked at the huge cave under the cliff and couldn't help but ask.
Ye Wuwen replied: "I don't know either.
I remember asking my grandfather when I was a child whether this pit was dug by man or if it was natural.
My grandfather also answered my question just like I am answering you now. .
Because this huge cave was formed no one knows how many years ago.
The inside looks both natural and artificially excavated, so no one can tell its origin.
Moreover, the inside of this cave is even larger than the entrance.
The part hidden underground is like a huge jar, and the belly is much wider than the mouth of the jar. " Hearing Ye Wuwen's words, Ye Li nodded and looked at the huge cave below.
"Third Grandpa, has anyone been to the deepest part of this cave?
I heard you said before that this is a dead end."
Ye Li asked.
Ye Wuwen nodded, then shook his head and said: "No one actually knows how deep this cave is, but it is indeed a dead end.
Because when we go down to a certain depth, the bottom becomes a world of magma, and we can't go any deeper. .
The cubs of the earth lin demon are only equivalent to ordinary earth demon beasts.
They are not yet capable of walking through magma, so we say it is a dead end.
If there really is a cub of the Earth Lin Demon, and it runs into this maze again, then sooner or later we, the people gathered from all directions, will block it inside. " As Ye Wuwen spoke, he looked down at the cave, and his brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.
Ye Li followed Ye Wuwen's gaze and saw another group of people entering the maze area from another direction near the cave below, and rushed into the cave before them.
"It seems like a lot of people have been attracted here.
The group of people just now looked like they were from the Zhong family in Dongshan City."
Elder Shan next to him also saw this situation and said to everyone.
Ye Wuwen nodded and said: "Yes, they are indeed from the Zhong family, so it seems that the fourth brother must have gone in.
If they were sure that the Tulin Demon was inside, he would never be willing to go in later than the others.
It seems that we have to go deep inside to find them.
We just hope that they will not encounter danger inside.
After all, there will be various monsters in the maze at any time, and it is not so easy to explore. " dd1805291:
