Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 508 Where is this?
Southern Xinjiang is a large area, not much smaller than the Central Plains, but the place is full of valleys and lush vegetation, and there is not much suitable arable land. In addition, snakes, insects, rats and ants are everywhere. It is no wonder that people in Southern Xinjiang always covet the Central Plains.

Theoretically, you can reach Southern Xinjiang by going west or south from Qingyang Town, but going west will lead you into a maze forest.

This forest extends all the way from southern Xinjiang. As the name suggests, it is basically like a maze. Even locals cannot get out if they go too deep into it, let alone outsiders.

If Ning Xian'er and the others really went to the West, they would probably run into it headfirst. By then, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, it would be useless if you can't get out.

Yang Yiyi didn't know the local situation, nor did she know what Wu Shaoyi was worried about, so she immediately asked the waiter:
“Is there a group of people from Southern Xinjiang passing by?”

"People from Southern Xinjiang? I've never seen them. They usually don't come to Qingyang Town. Most of them are active at the border."

Compared to Ning Xianer and the others, the people from southern Xinjiang walked more covertly. After asking a few more questions, and seeing that the waiter really couldn't remember anything useful, he had to give up.

At this time, Qin Yan, who had just separated, came back again. Yang Yiyi quickly asked her to sit down and drink porridge.

However, Qin Yan didn't seem to be in the mood to eat. She sat at the table and whispered:
"I asked some local thieves about it, and they said they saw my eldest brother and a group of people passing by Qingyang Town before."

The Sixteenth Village had good relations with thieves from many places, and Zhou Yuxuan was often seen outside, so many people knew him. So when he appeared in this area, he was recognized immediately.

"Headed west?"

"Why do you think it went west? The thieves said it went south."

"Ah? But the waiter just told us that he saw a group of gangsters heading west with murderous intent."

This sentence also confused Qin Yan.

There are people from the Sixteenth Village in Ning Xianer's team, and they will definitely ask the local thieves if they have seen Zhou Yuxuan. In fact, when Qin Yan was asking about this, the local thieves also said that someone from the Sixteenth Village had asked about it not long ago.

This is strange. Knowing that Zhou Yuxuan was heading south, why did Ning Xianer chase him westward?
"I guess Miss Ning might be planning to take a shortcut to block the enemy. The heroes around her might split up into several groups on the way, trying to block the people from Southern Xinjiang before they return to Southern Xinjiang."

Wu Shaoyi's guess made sense. After all, it was better to go around and block the enemy in front than to chase him from behind.

"But where should we go to catch up with them?"

Ning Xianer can divide her troops into several groups, but Yang Yiyi and her group only have three people. If they go in the wrong direction, they may not be able to catch up.

Wu Shaoyi thought for a moment and said:
"Let's go west as well. Compared to the people from Southern Xinjiang who are trying to hide their whereabouts and are hard to figure out, Lady Ning and her team are more conspicuous and easier to track."

This is indeed true. People from Southern Xinjiang will inevitably hide their heads and show their tails when they are in the Central Plains. This time he was lucky because a thief secretly noticed Zhou Yuxuan in the Southern Xinjiang team. He may not be so lucky next time. He will probably lose them if he follows them.

Qin Yan actually wanted to go southwest to chase Zhou Yuxuan, but she had to admit that Wu Shaoyi was right.

She was so concerned that she was anxious, otherwise she wouldn't have dragged her body, which was not yet fully recovered, to follow him.

Wu Shaoyi also knew this. Seeing Qin Yan was very hesitant, she added:
"Anyway, let's go to the fishing village the waiter mentioned and ask. If it's hard to catch them, we can turn south."

Yang Yiyi remained the same, not thinking about anything.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

After a quick breakfast, the three of them set out again, leaving Qingyang Town and heading west along the road.

Although they had no means of transportation, the three of them all had martial arts skills. Wu Shaoyi, who was most likely to be a hindrance, used his internal force to propel his wheelchair, and ran faster than he could with light martial arts, so the three of them found the fishing village mentioned by the waiter with basically no effort.

The village was not big, with only a few hundred people. When entering the village, you could see fishing nets hanging out in the sun in every household, which was obviously a place for fishing. Yang Yiyi and her friends arrived at the right time. As soon as they entered the village, they saw an old man driving a donkey cart ready to leave the village. The cart was full of fruits, vegetables and fresh fish, and they knew at a glance that they were sending them to the city.

"Wait a minute, old man. We have something to ask you."

When he went up to ask, it turned out to be Old Yang, who delivered vegetables to the city every day. It was he who told the waiter that he saw with his own eyes a large group of gangsters passing by the village entrance.

It's a good thing that we were able to find the witness so easily, but the witness's information was very similar to what the waiter said, with only slight differences in details.

Moreover, when talking about this incident, the old man was really scared. He lit his pipe tremblingly while talking about it to calm himself down.

After all, they are just ordinary people living an honest life. When they go out, they see hundreds of martial artists passing by with weapons in their hands, and they all look murderous. It would be strange if they were not scared.

Probably because Yang Yiyi and the other three were all women, and they were all pretty good-looking, and didn't look like ferocious monsters, so the old man was less guarded and told them everything when asked.

Finally, he added:
"Go further west and you will reach the Lost Forest. The three ladies must not go in. It is easy to get in but difficult to get out."

"Thank you, old man. We know."

What can I do if I arrive at the place but don’t find out more information?
Keep chasing.

Fortunately, only two days had passed, and it hadn't rained during those two days, so the footprints and other things were still preserved.

Yang Yiyi and the others left the fishing village and followed the direction the old man pointed. Along the way, they saw many footprints left in the wild, which could barely be considered as signposts to point the way.

Wu Shaoyi specially brought a map from home, which clearly marked the location of the Lost Forest, which was a bit far away from them.

The three of them had a brief discussion and continued to follow the footprints for a while, and then took a look outside the maze forest.

If Ning Xian'er and the others have entered the Lost Forest, then we will turn south. If not, then continue chasing them and ask around in the next town.

With a map in hand and it being broad daylight, the sun was very clear and it was not difficult to identify the direction. There were also footprints on the road serving as clues and guidance. Logically, there should be no problem in following the path.

However, even though there shouldn't be any problems, there were still problems.

Yang Yiyi looked at the treetops that blocked out the sun and sighed:
"Where is this..."

Originally, they followed the footprints and entered a sparse forest. Wu Shaoyi looked at the map and confirmed that they should be quite far away from the Lost Forest, so the three of them continued to follow the footprints.

However, they went deeper and deeper without realizing it. When they discovered it, there was no longer the surging river around them, nor any farmland or official roads. There were only dense bushes and lush trees.

The treetops are so large that they almost block out the sun, as if the sky has suddenly become cloudy.

At this time, Qin Yan came down from the tree:
"We are heading in the right direction, but the map shows..."

"This wood is not marked on the map."

Wu Shaoyi was also confused holding the map.

I was clearly following the map and didn't get lost, so where did this dense forest come from?

What’s even worse is that the three of them immediately realized that they couldn’t get out.
