From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 241 Mist
There are piles of rocks and dense jungle, and big trees that are much taller than an adult's waist can be seen everywhere in this forest.

The treetops are so lush and green that it is difficult for the light from the scorching sun in the sky to actually fall.

After crossing the MacLehose Trail and entering the boundless jungle, Jiang Yao had no specific destination in mind, so he just went wherever the jungle was dense or the terrain was dangerous.

It is true that every inch of land in Hong Kong is worth a lot of money, but the mountains and forests on the Saigon side have never been developed and have always maintained a pristine appearance.

Jiang Yao had been in the forest for less than half an hour when he lost his way. He didn't remember how to get back to the previous mountain road.

It is actually not surprising that this situation occurs.

After all, in such a dense jungle where there are no normal paths at all, as long as there are no areas with obvious features, walking around, everything looks basically the same in all directions.

"Before entering this forest, I left a spiritual imprint specially, and I can still clearly sense it."

"If I just want to escape from this forest, I just need to follow the direction of the spiritual mark and keep moving forward."

"It's a pity that I came all this way to come here, my purpose must not be just to take a tour in the mountains and forests of Saigon."

Before he knew it, Jiang Yao had been running around in the mountains and forests for several hours.

Frowning slightly, he sensed the location of the spiritual mark and muttered to himself.

On the Sai Kung section of the MacLehose Trail, there is a boundary marker with a different number at regular intervals.

Generally speaking, people can know their approximate location by looking at the numbers on the boundary markers.

The location where Jiang Yao crossed the boundary marker on the mountain road and entered the forest was not chosen randomly.

The file on the Saigon missing persons case that Huang Minghua brought to him only contained general information and was not detailed, but the file recorded the approximate locations of nearly half of the people who disappeared inexplicably before the incident.

Although the locations of these people before they disappeared were scattered in a disorderly manner and not concentrated in a certain area, after statistical analysis, we can still see something.

Where Jiang Yao went into the forest, a total of seven or eight people disappeared in that area.

"If there is something strange about this forest, then logically speaking, there should be something unusual about me running around in it for so long."

"But now, although I have lost my way, it is just a normal state. With the spiritual imprint I left behind, I can get out of trouble at any time."

"Could it be that those guys who disappeared inexplicably in this forest did not encounter any abnormalities, but simply got lost and could not get out of the forest, which led to them being trapped and died here?"

Jiang Yao shook his head, looked helpless, and looked around.

After running around in the mountains and forests for so long, he didn't see any large or ferocious wild beasts.

However, there is no shortage of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains and forests.

This kind of weather in July and August is when snakes are active. Although these creatures may be a little threatening to ordinary people, in Jiang Yao's eyes, that's all.

With his current physical strength, ordinary venomous snakes cannot even bite through his skin.

Pulling out his cell phone, he checked the time.

He ran to Sai Kung early in the morning. When he crossed the MacLehose Trail and entered the mountains and forests, it was just after ten o'clock in the morning. Before he knew it, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.

As for cell phone signals and the like, they are definitely gone in the mountains and forests.

If an ordinary person were to fall into his current situation, there is a high probability that he would not be able to get out. Whether he could escape and survive would all depend on luck.

"Among those who disappeared in the mountains and forests of Saigon, there should be quite a few who simply got lost and were trapped and died."

"But what about the police colleague that Huang Minghua mentioned who had been missing for eight years and had luckily escaped from the jungle of Sai Kung?"

"He can't have any storage space. What does he eat and drink when he is trapped in this forest?"

"Eight years have passed, why didn't he age? After he was rescued and sent to the hospital for treatment, why did he age so quickly and die in just three days?"

Sitting under a big tree, Jiang Yao's brows were furrowed into a straight line.

In this matter, he didn't think Huang Minghua would lie to him.

After all, if he was interested, he could have found out some information about the case through other channels instead of Huang Minghua.

It would do Huang Minghua no good at all to make up some unfounded and bizarre cases to fool himself, unless he was tired of living and wanted to die, otherwise, he simply didn't have the courage to do so.

“There is something really strange about this forest in Saigon.”

"The reason why I haven't noticed anything unusual is probably because I haven't been in this jungle for too long."

"Although the file shows that dozens of people have disappeared in this forest, this number has accumulated over the years. If we really average it out per year, the number of people who disappear here every year is probably no more than ten."

"Among them, there should be quite a few who disappeared due to normal reasons. As for those who disappeared inexplicably like that police colleague, I estimate that there are only about three to five people who disappeared every year."

"Based on this situation, the anomalies in the forest may only occur occasionally, and will not exist forever like the strange domain."

"Otherwise, people often come here to hike. If something unusual happens as soon as they cross the boundary marker and step into the jungle, the number of people who have disappeared inexplicably must be more than just this few."

……

After running around in the mountains and forests for such a long time, Jiang Yao's stomach was empty and he was already feeling a little hungry.

While his mind was racing, he took out food such as bread and cans from the storage space and began to devour them.

Naturally, he would check the information recorded on the light curtain panel from time to time.

It's a pity that there was no change at all. It seemed that he was just lost. If he didn't encounter any abnormal situation, there would be no possibility for him to encounter a disaster.

Although Jiang Yao was a little depressed about this situation, he could understand it.

After all, he is no longer the weak ordinary person he was when he just awakened the golden finger.

With the strength he possessed, if he had encountered a disaster so easily, he would not have specially looked up those abnormal things files and then came to Saigon.

"With such a large forest, if an abnormal situation only occurs occasionally, unless I stay here every day, the chance of me encountering it is too low."

"If the facts are really as I guessed, is there any point for me to continue staying here?"

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Yao leaned against the trunk of the big tree behind him.

Inadvertently, this thought came into his mind, and he looked helpless and sighed.

"I've come all this way, but I didn't gain anything. I'm not willing to go back like this!"

"How about staying in this jungle for a while longer?"

"Whether it's demons or ghosts, generally speaking, they prefer to appear at night." "It's already past three in the afternoon. If I wait a few more hours, it will be dark. When it's night, the chances of me encountering something unusual should be much higher."

……

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yao stood up.

Too lazy to continue running around in the mountains and forests, he took a deep breath and started practicing the Wild Dragon Fist.

This place is rarely visited by people, so no matter how shocking the noise he makes when practicing the Wild Dragon Fist, he is not worried about being seen.

Compared to the vast lawn at home, the terrain here was much more complicated, with trees standing in disorder around it, creating some obstacles for him and making it difficult for him to use his fists and feet.

At Kai Tak Airport, a flight from Kyoto to Hong Kong had just landed after falling from the sky.

The cabin door opened, and Mr. Zhou, wearing a pair of sunglasses, puffed out his chest and strode out.

Old Liu, who was with him last time, was not with him. With him were two big men in black who looked like bodyguards.

A few days ago, he spoke to Jiang Yao on the phone.

On the phone, the original owner of the century-old wild ginseng that he had mentioned to Jiang Yao was sent to prison for a few days on a trumped-up charge.

Today, the man finally surrendered and handed the wild ginseng to Master Zhou.

Considering that this person was so tactful, Master Zhou not only cleared his name, but also gave him three hundred yuan and a banner.

After getting the things, he didn't delay at all and directly booked a plane ticket to Hong Kong.

Last time, he learned the first one or two moves of the Tiger Evil Training Form from Jiang Yao.

Just by practicing casually, he can already truly feel the great benefits brought by this kung fu.

That is, after getting up every day, he would practice those two moves for about ten minutes. Now, he no longer has sore waist and pain in his legs.

Not only has his body become stronger, but when he plays games with girls, he can now last for several minutes, instead of thirty seconds at most without the help of drugs.

Now that he has truly felt the benefits brought by those two basic moves, he naturally wants to learn all the subsequent moves as long as there is a chance.

Before boarding the plane, he actually called Jiang Yao.

Unfortunately, it kept telling the user that they were out of service area and the call could not be connected.

After getting off the plane, he picked up his cell phone and started dialing again.

"What on earth is this Jiang Yaozu up to?"

"I flew here from Kyoto to send him wild ginseng, but I couldn't get through to him on the phone."

Once again returning empty-handed, Master Zhou was in a bad mood, with a dissatisfied look on his face, and muttered a few words.

With his network of contacts, he naturally has many acquaintances in Hong Kong besides Jiang Yao.

Not to mention other people, just take Brother Xiang Shi as an example. If Mr. Zhou gives him a call, he will definitely come quickly.

"Forget it, let's go directly to Mong Kok!"

Unable to get through to Jiang Yao's call, he frowned and thought for a while.

Then he waved his hand, called out to his two bodyguards, and strode out of the airport.

Since he came to deliver wild ginseng to Jiang Yao, he was too lazy to trouble anyone else.

The soldier under Jiang Yao had been hanging around in Mong Kok, so he naturally knew about this.

Since he couldn't get through to Jiang Yao on the phone, Mr. Zhou naturally had to go find Bingzai.

After walking out of the airport lobby, several people hailed a taxi and headed straight towards Mong Kok.

Saigon, in the jungle.

When practicing Wild Dragon Fist, without enough tonics to replenish the energy consumed, Jiang Yao had no choice but to eat large amounts of food to avoid being starving and having his eyes turn black with hunger.

Although he stored a lot of food in his one cubic meter storage space, that kind of fast food was fine for satisfying hunger, but the effect of replenishing the energy consumed while practicing martial arts was very general.

After practicing the Wild Dragon Fist for just over an hour, Jiang Yao stopped practicing.

Feeling a little tired, he leaned against the trunk of a big tree and took a short nap. Without knowing when, he fell into a deep sleep.

"There's fog in the forest? What time is it now?"

Jiang Yao stretched and looked around with a puzzled look on his face.

During the day, visibility in the forest is very poor. At night, there is fog all around, and the dense crowns of the big trees above prevent the moonlight from penetrating.

Jiang Yao, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, could easily adapt to the darkness, but with his eyesight, it was difficult for him to see clearly what was happening ten meters away.

It was not until he suddenly had an idea and attached the energy and blood power he gained from practicing the Wild Dragon Fist to his eyes that his vision became wider and he could barely see some scenes twenty or thirty meters away.

He picked up his phone and wanted to check the time. He didn't know whether the phone was out of battery or affected by some other unknown factors, but the screen was completely black and could not display anything.

The quartz watch on his wrist also stopped moving inexplicably.

"What's going on? Is it because of the disorder of the internal magnetic field?"

"So, I just took a nap. Is there really something unusual happening in this forest?"

Jiang Yao, who had just woken up from his sleep and was still a little dazed, suddenly started and stood up with a bang.

With his eyes slightly closed, he first sensed the mental imprints he had left behind.

Before entering the forest, the spiritual imprint he left on those shop owners seemed to have been forcibly severed for some reason, and he could no longer detect any trace of it.

Opening his eyes, he looked around.

There are still tall trees and jagged rocks everywhere, but in the thick night and fog, Jiang Yao feels that what he sees seems strange and unreal.

"Who..." Suddenly, he seemed to see a dark shadow flash by near a bush not far away.
With a light shout, Jiang Yao rushed towards the bush as fast as lightning.

He burst out at full speed and in just a moment, he had crossed a distance of more than 20 meters and appeared near the bushes.

Just now, he clearly saw a figure with a backpack disappearing behind the bushes, but now, he searched carefully several times, front and back, left and right, and he didn't see any people, let alone small animals.
