This row of footprints faces each other alternately on the left and right, and the intervals between each step are almost the same.

Only people who walk upright can leave such footprints. Even the human-like macaques on the island are absolutely unable to do so. Moreover, the old macaque king who is currently being held by the witch Hu has told Wu Liang that the macaques on the island do not

Learn to walk upright.

But what made Wu Liang's scalp numb the most was...

This row of footprints appeared less than half a meter behind him, and spread to the larger and farther gap on the reef on the left!

That is to say, when Wu Liang was talking to the witch Huhu, the owner of this row of footprints was behind Wu Liang, and he could be touched by raising his hand...

If the owner of this row of footprints was holding a sharp weapon and intended to harm him, he could even easily wipe his neck open or give him a fatal blow on the waist. With the current medical conditions, this would be tantamount to declaring death.

His death sentence means that even if Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo come, it will be difficult to bring him back from the door of hell.

"!"

Thinking about this, the chill in Wu Liang's back became even stronger, and a drop of cold sweat already slid down his spine, making him couldn't help but tremble.

This is definitely a problem!

No matter who the owner of the footprints is or what the other person's purpose is, Wu Liang feels extremely uneasy.

Because a person can come up behind him silently and make unfavorable actions to him at any time and at any time without him noticing, he is undoubtedly completely manipulated!

"Wu Taishi, what's wrong with you? What do you have over there?"

The witch Hu noticed Wu Liang's abnormality and subconsciously stopped and asked in surprise across the narrow mezzanine in front of her.

At this moment, she could only see Wu Liang's complex face and side profile. Even so, it was not difficult to judge that Wu Liang must have seen something extraordinary, which made her uncontrollably nervous.

"Something's wrong, please come here first."

Wu Liang did not dare to look away and responded without looking back.

He was still a little scared in his heart, maybe the witch calling to him could make him feel a little more at ease.

However, there is a question that puzzles Wu Liang: the owners of the footprints can come up behind him quietly, so naturally they can leave quietly, so why do they make some noise when they leave?

Get his attention?

This is obviously intentional!

But what exactly is the purpose?

Mentality?

It seems that this is the only possibility...but this possibility can be divided into two situations:

Either the owner of the footprints has a psychological problem, and he likes to break the prey's mentality first, making him fall into uncontrollable fear, and then take care of him;

Or the owner of the footprints can't actually cause him actual harm at all, so he can only choose this method to scare him and make him retreat.

Which situation it is, Wu Liang cannot yet make a judgment...

As for the row of footprints in the sand.

Wu Liang also couldn't understand, because he only saw the footprints leaving him, but not the footprints coming towards him.

That is to say, the owner of the footprints could have left no footprints at all, but left such a row of footprints. There is obviously an intentional element in this, so what does this mean?

Some kind of guidance?

Just as I was pondering like this.

"Wu Taishi?"

Suddenly a faint voice came from my ears.

"well?!"

Wu Liang was looking at the series of footprints in a daze. When he heard the sound, he was frightened and jumped up. He almost stabbed the copper dagger in his hand in excitement.

Fortunately, he regained his senses in the next second, and looked back at the miko who had come to him at some point, but was frightened by his overreaction and took several steps back. He and the old macaque king stroked their chests and inhaled.

He said in a tone of voice: "I was shocked, how did you come here so fast?"

"You just scared me!"

The witch was really angry and funny, "I just walked over like this. I didn't run or jump. I just saw you standing there motionless, so I tried to call you. On the contrary, it was you who heard me call.

You were startled as if you had seen a ghost, what does that have to do with me?"

"My mine."

Wu Liang admitted his mistake straightforwardly, although there was no apology on his face.

"Just now you said something was wrong here, what exactly is wrong?"

The witch Hu didn't bother with him. She leaned out and looked at the slightly wider rock interlayer facing Wu Liang. After looking at it for a long time, she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she had to ask.

"The most wrong thing is that this row of footprints is not mine."

Wu Liang pointed to the footprints in the sand and said.

"It's not yours?"

The witch Hu was stunned when she heard the words. After reacting for a moment, she finally understood what Wu Liang meant. Then her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she asked with a look of surprise, "Who could have left that? Is there still something here?"

Is there anyone else? Did you see that person? Did that person run away when he saw you? "

"I didn't see anything. I heard some noise when I was talking to you just now. When I turned around, I saw this row of footprints."

Wu Liang shook his head helplessly.

"?!"

The miko Hu was stunned again.

He looked at Wu Liang with his eyes wide open and his lips pursed. After being silent for a long time, he finally asked: "Could these footprints be a trick of Wu Taishi to scare me? I have played this kind of trick when I was very young, every time.

It snowed heavily in Japan, so I got up early while the witch mother was still sleeping, walked all the way to the outside of the shrine, then walked backwards, aligning my footprints, and walked back the way I came. Then I hid in the cupboard and waited for the witch mother to wake up.

When he saw the footprints, he thought I had sneaked out again, so he called my name all the way and went out to look for me."

"In your eyes, am I that boring?"

Wu Liang gritted his teeth. Now that we were talking about business, he had no time to argue with the witch.

"I don't think it's boring, it's a loving childishness that can only be shown in front of important people."

Although Miko Hu did not answer directly, she nodded seriously.

"I'll say it again, these footprints were not left by me..."

Wu Liang was a little crazy, but suddenly he felt that there was something wrong with what the witch said. He didn't know whether he was defending his friendship with the witch or mixed with other meanings. He actually used the word "love".

Wu Liang is not that narcissistic, and of course he will not believe that the witch Hu has developed some kind of feelings after just getting along with him for such a short period of time. Moreover, unlike Bai Jingjing and Zhen Mi, Wu Liang has not given anything to the witch Hu these days.

He had a good face, and he didn't tease or tease him, so if it wasn't for Miko Hu's own unique interests, she shouldn't have any good impressions of him at all.

After a pause, Wu Liang recovered his thoughts and said seriously: "In short, this is definitely not a normal phenomenon. Next, we must be more careful, just in case we can no longer move separately."

"promise."

The witch did not continue to talk to Wu Liang about what he had or didn't have, but followed the example of Yang Wanli and others and gave Wu Liang a military salute.

…

With the psychological shadow that just happened.

Although Wu Liang could not determine the identity of the owner of the footprints, nor could he guess the real purpose, he still decided to continue investigating and followed the row of footprints all the way.

Because he is more inclined to think that the row of deliberately left footprints is actually a guide.

Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, following that row of footprints will definitely bring you closer to the truth in the shortest possible time. Fast forwarding until the second shoe hits the ground is better than wandering aimlessly through this group of rocks.

So the two men and the monkey followed the row of footprints and walked straight into the slightly larger gap on the reef on the left.

After entering the gap, the footprints on the ground disappeared inexplicably.

Wu Liang originally thought that if this row of footprints stretched endlessly, he could use it to refute the so-called "childlikeness" called by the witch. After all, no matter how childlike he was, time limited the length of "childlikeness".

However, the rocks here are much shorter.

Wu Liang's visual inspection revealed that the reef was less than two meters long and was only a little higher than his head. If he jumped up, he could see the top of the reef.

at the same time.

This reef is no longer in the shape of a wall like the other reefs outside. Instead, it is quite densely connected and looks like a bunch of broccoli flowers that are tightly packed together.

What makes patients with trypophobia even more ecstatic is that there are far fewer pits hiding strange stone fish on this reef.

Unfortunately, the footprints have now mysteriously disappeared.

Wu Liang had no "shortcut" to take, so he could only take the witch Hu and the old macaque king to continue their aimless exploration.

But before that.

"Don't move around here, I'm going to buy a few... I'll climb up first and take a look."

Wu Liang said this to the witch.

He planned to climb up the reef, which was less than two meters long, and stand on the reef to observe the surrounding situation, because the reefs were all about this height when he looked at them, and standing on the reef would naturally allow him to see farther.
