Chapter 208: The Secret of Saving Lives
The group immediately became alert upon hearing this, observing their surroundings while quickly retreating to Han Yi’s side.
"Han Yi, what did you find?" Yan Xiao didn’t see any suspicious objects, so he asked Han Yi.
Han Yi looked ahead pensively. The distant army was getting further away. The speed of the soldiers was naturally fast, and with Han Yi’s group delayed, they had fallen quite a distance behind the troops.
"This place is too clean," Han Yi observed, staring ahead, "There are no bushes, no trees, and no wildlife; not even the usual snakes and rodents in the grass. And look—"
Han Yi pointed towards the spot Yan Xiao had just stepped on, continuing, "All this grass is of a single species, with no other plants mixed in."
Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian didn’t understand at first, but it was Hao Boming beside them who reacted first, unable to stop himself from exclaiming.
In such a primitive mountain range, where human footprints are rare, one would expect to find a dense thicket of miscellaneous trees. The appearance of a large expanse of grassland was strange enough, and yet there was only one type of grass covering it?
Even artificial turf couldn’t be so meticulously clean that no other plants would be mixed in. The natural phenomenon is for various wild plants to grow intermixed together.
This was why Han Yi said: it was too clean.
Everyone felt their hair stand on end, a cold sweat breaking out on their backs!
