Chapter 109 A Recording Pen
After half a day of hard labor and much shoveling, the hole was twice its original size, but nothing was dug up. Just when everyone felt they were wasting their energy, a rabbit suddenly darted out and ran away. This unexpected scene startled everyone.
"So it was just a rabbit, then we have nothing to worry about." Gu Fan said, patting his heart, honestly admitting that he had been scared as well. After all, everyone had been worried about uncovering some creature.
With everything alright, everyone packed up and embarked on the sixth day of their journey, continuing to chat and laugh along the way as if they had forgotten about the terrifying rumors.
This was what Gu Fan had also hoped for: that everyone would travel with a lighter heart rather than live in fear every day. But not everyone could forget the image of a creature, its limbs resembling a human’s, recorded by the video camera, at least Gu Fan couldn’t.
"An ogre? Do they really exist in this world? Why hasn’t it been reported?" Gu Fan wondered and shook his head in bitter amusement. Even if ogres or some such creatures did exist, to avoid unnecessary panic, they wouldn’t be casually reported.
"Damn, it looks like this journey is more dangerous than I thought, I still don’t even know who the enemy is?" As Gu Fan pondered this, he suddenly spotted a dead wolf lying not far away, torn apart.
Not only did Gu Fan see it, but everyone else did too. Lu Yi couldn’t help but exclaim, "What’s going on? Has the wolf become starved and mad, resorting to cannibalism among its pack?"
At this time, Professor Luo and Ouyang Jin were walking and discussing, marking something on the map. Curious, Gu Fan approached to greet them and find out what they were doing.
Professor Luo and Ouyang Jin were estimating their route and current location. They took out a small notebook to document the journey of the past few days, jotting down everything they had seen such as some distinct features of the hills for future reference.
To find the ancient Qian Ye Kingdom, they had to fully understand the exact location indicated on the ancient map. To understand the ancient map, they had to try to merge it with the modern map. As of now, they were still finding it difficult, so they had to take it one step at a time.
If they were lucky enough, they might find the landmarks indicated on the ancient map, which would help them to decipher the ancient map easily. Of course, there were other methods, but this was the only one that Gu Fan could think of at the moment.
