The group walked along the rancid, locust-infested banks to the mouth of the river downstream.
They had come from the shoreline, so the distance was not very far, and it wasn't long before they saw the sea in the leaves of the trees, and they were a little excited.
"There should be an estuary ahead, so be careful."
Fang Jinyan did not forget to remind them again.
"Well, we know."
Everyone knows it's not a game, so they take it seriously.
So everyone suppressed some excitement and quickened their pace to rush forward.
Soon, they saw an open estuary delta with a flat meadow and a golden sand at the edge "Don't worry, let's go and investigate first."
This time it was not Fang Jinyan who spoke, but Zhu Pingzhi.
In this team, Fang Jinyan is not the only one who is more cautious, in fact, driven by Fang Jinyan, everyone has cultivated a more vigilant consciousness, and now even if there is no Fang Jinyan to remind them, they themselves will remind each other to be vigilant.
They are not stupid, and they don't always need to be reminded by Fang Jinyan to understand.
Although most of the time, there is no major danger, but they do not dare to relax easily.
"Looks like some muntjac is grazing over there."
Zheng Chen said after hiding behind the bushes and observing for a while.
"Yes, it's the same one we caught last time on Rubber Ridge."
Zhao Lan also said.
Rubber Ridge is the name they took for a place, on the hill across the volcanic lake, where they first discovered the rubber groves.
"The captain said that where they appear, there are probably predators hidden, and we need to be vigilant."
Zhou Rong also said with a serious face.
Experiences like this are indeed what Fang Jinyan said before, in fact, they are all very simple truths, and you can understand them when you think about them, but ordinary people don't have such awareness, and now they are preliminarily cultivated.
Fang Jinyan was naturally very happy about this, he had no intention of showing off his skills, his companions could realize for themselves that it was best to be sad, to be honest, if they always needed him to remind them to realize, then sooner or later something would go wrong.
They clenched their weapons in tacit agreement and quietly pushed forward.
They approached the muntjac who were drinking and grazing by the river, and did not let them notice.
"Kill them, eat barbecue later" Zhou Rong whispered, among all the game animal meat, the taste of venison is the best, at least roasted, the bison is too old, the leopard meat is a little sour, the mutton has a strong smell, and the rabbit meat has no texture "Don't worry, I feel like there's something wrong with them."
Fang Jinyan frowned and said.
"What's wrong, that big one walks with a little lameness, is it injured" Zhou Rong observed it and found it.
"Yes, it's clearly injured in its right thigh, and you notice that the wound, that part of the injury, is mostly caused during the predation."
"In other words, it has been preyed upon, whether it is a crocodile or a leopard or something," the crowd said in amazement.
"Neither, it's supposed to be human."
Fang Jinyan gave an even more surprising answer.
"How can there be humans around here?"
"How do you know, maybe it was a beast bite, maybe it's not necessarily it."
The crowd hurriedly asked, unaware that they seemed to be more frightened of humans than wild beasts.
"If you look closely at the wound, there's clearly a piece of stuff stuck in it, and if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a broken arrow."
Fang Jinyan said.
"Where can you see clearly, the distance is too far, our eyesight can't compare with you" Zhou Rong and the others stared at each other for a long time, and finally said helplessly.
"Trust me, I can't be mistaken."
Fang Jinyan said.
"Then what are we going to do now," Zhao Lan asked.
"Sneak around and take a look, and maybe you'll be able to spot something else."
Fang Jinyan said.
"Okay."
After a while, Fang Jinyan walked quickly to a low banyan tree and said, "Look here. ” "The branch is broken, and the fracture is extremely smooth, and it looks like it should have been cut with an axe or a knife."
Zhou Rong immediately understood.
"And there are no broken branches around, apparently they have been taken away."

Zheng Chen also added analysis.
"There's also a break over there, which should have been cut by them."
Zhu Pingzhi reminded.
"That's right, they should have someone injured, so they need to make a stretcher out of a tree branch and carry it back."
Fang Jinyan looked around and said.
"How do you see that?"
the crowd asked in amazement.
"Look here, there's clearly blood here."
Fang Jinyan pointed to a stone and said.
"Why don't you know it's not the blood shed after the prey is killed," Zhou Rong said unconvinced after repeated defeats.
"Because this blood stain is not dripping, but left when the wound is bandaged, it should be that the wound of the injured person is too large to stop the bleeding at all, and then the blood stain seeps down, and this fiber filament is proof, it has a clear curvature, and it is obviously the fiber of artificial fabric."
Fang Jinyan said with his fingers twisting a thin line like a hair from the bloodstains.
The thread has been dyed dark red.
"It's scary, what the hell happened to them," Liu Yun asked.
"I can't judge this now, but the wound is so big, there are generally two possibilities, one is attacked by a beast, and the other is injured by a human weapon."
Fang Jinyan shook his head and said.
"In other words, there are not only other victims here, but also more than one group of people," Zhao Lan Zhou Qi said with a frown.
"Yes."
Fang Jinyan replied in the affirmative.
"Then should we retreat immediately now, or should we go to find out their whereabouts," Zheng Chen hurriedly said.
His mentality is different from others, most of the others are more jealous, although he is also a little jealous, but more importantly, he still wants to find his girlfriend, so he actually prefers the latter "Of course it's to investigate, we can't hide from them for the rest of our lives."
Fang Jinyan said.
"That's right, and we've managed to find this place where we can dry salt, and it's a shame to go like this."
Zhu Qianqian said.
"Captain, I think about it, since they are also human beings, then they must also eat salt, if they really live nearby, most of them will also be here to dry salt, we can find out," Zhou Rong said suddenly.
"You're right, we'll go find out right away."
Fang Jinyan nodded and said.
"If we really find it, what should we do instead of robbing it," Zhu Pingzhi asked.
"If we weren't forced to do so, we wouldn't have to find conflict with other humans.
It depends on the situation, if we can, we can trade with them, we can also rent their salt pans, which will save us a lot of effort, of course, if they are not very friendly, we can only resort to other methods.
Fang Jinyan said. t1706231537:
