“Follow me, he’s in the northwest direction.” Yu Su took the lead and walked into the valley, reaching out to catch the falling talisman.
The others followed closely behind.
As they walked towards the northwest direction, they came across a forest. The trees were at least a few decades old, and they were all thick and broad.
“They got separated near here.” Wen Hao frowned and looked at the dense forest.
There was no main road in the forest. The only path left was also made by humans. If one was not careful, they would get lost.
After the few of them walked for a while, Yu Su used the talisman paper to divine again.
This time, it pointed northeast.
After a few twists and turns, Yu Su stopped in front of a cave. The cave was very small and only allowed one person to pass through at a time.
There were weeds in front of the cave.
Near the cave, there was also a snake circling, flicking its tongue at Yu Su and the others.
“There’s a snake! Be careful.” Xiao Han was originally walking behind, but when he saw the black snake that was as thick as a human hand, he immediately stood in front of Yu Su to stop it.
The black snake circled in front of the cave for a while before disappearing into the depths of the forest.
Wen Hao first walked forward to scout the way and knocked on the nearby grass with his stick. After confirming that there were no more snakes, he let everyone enter the cave.
When she walked into the cave, Yu Su noticed the footprints at the entrance.
“More than one person was here.” She knelt down and studied the footprints.
Xiao Han protected her by her side and illuminated the vicinity of the cave with his flashlight. She could vaguely see the situation inside.
The environment of the cave was dry, and the temperature was lower than outside. The soil under their feet was also dry.
Yu Su’s expression was serious. “Let’s walk further in. He might be here. Everyone, be careful. There might be bats in the cave.”
Gu Chen was experienced. At this moment, he had already lit the torch on his belt and handed another one to Wen Hao.
Coupled with the one in Xiao Han’s hand, the cave could almost be fully illuminated now. It was not as dark as before.
“Let’s walk further in.” Wen Hao raised the torch and strode forward in anxiety.
After walking for 20 meters, he paused for a moment, then raised the torch and ran in with large strides.
“I see him. He’s inside.” Wen Hao’s voice was excited.
The few of them quickened their pace and walked in. Before long, they saw a corpse lying on its side against the wall of the cave.
Because of the low temperature, it had not rotted yet.
“It’s him!” Wen Hao’s eyes were red as he walked towards his comrade. Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes as he said to Yu Su, “Thank you. If not for you, we don’t know when we would have found him.”
It was not that they had never been to this vicinity before, but they did not discover this hidden cave. They had even looked for many metaphysical masters, but they still could not find any traces of him.
He did not expect a popular female celebrity like Yu Su to have such strong metaphysical abilities.
“It’s nothing. This is also something 1 should contribute.” Yu Su walked over and observed the nearby footprints. “Someone should have been in the cave before. Does he have something important on him?”
If not for the fact that he had something on him, the enemy would not have tracked him here.
Wen Hao shook his head. “It should have been taken away.”
His comrade had an important piece of information that should have been handed over to the higher-ups after this battle, but he had been surrounded by the enemy. The information had probably been plundered.
Wen Hao sent a message to the higher-ups and sent a helicopter to pick up his comrade. After receiving an affirmative reply, he looked up and realized that Yu Su was still divining with the copper coins.
She threw the three copper coins on the ground.
Yu Su said to Wen Hao, “The thing is still on him. Search his upper body.”
When Wen Hao heard this, his entire body trembled. He looked at the corpse of his comrade in disbelief. He knew best how cunning the enemy was this time.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for a comrade to preserve information.
Wen Hao did not delay any longer. He unbuttoned his comrade’s clothes and searched carefully.
But he didn’t find anything.
Yu Su’s gaze was sharp. “Take a look at the wound on his arm.”
Wen Hao immediately removed the gauze on his arm.
The gauze was almost like it was just left on the wound, and it fell off with a tug. The enemy should have searched it long ago.
The gauze was removed, revealing the wound.
It was a ten-centimeter-long wound that was dripping with blood. One could even see flesh and blood.
“It’s inside the wound. You can see it if you cut it open,” Yu Su said quickly with a frown.
Wen Hao took out a small knife that he carried with him and cut it in. He found a thin chip near the bone.
The moment he received the chip, Wen Hao closed his eyes and cried.
The 1.9-meter-tall man cried in the cave. He could almost imagine his comrade stabbing the chip into his flesh at the last moment of his life..
