Chapter 2482 (2/2)

White Pearl nodded slightly. Trace knowledge did not only exist in forensic science and criminal investigation. It could also be used by a.s.sa.s.sins, so White Pearl could understand it.

However, the white pearl did not expect that Ji Feng would be able to see through it with just a glance. Furthermore, this was done in a flash of light, and this made her feel very surprised; the longer she spent with Ji Feng, the more she realized how magical he was!

Following Ji Feng's instructions, the white pearl made another mark before continuing on their way.

Following that, they discovered a few more traces, but they weren't as obvious as the ones in front. However, they still couldn't escape Ji Feng's eyes.

”Young Master Ji, we've already walked a long way. If we continue to walk forward, I'm afraid we won't be able to find us when we return to the captain and the others!” White Pearl said.

”I'm fine!”

Ji Feng said, ”There's no signal on the phone. There's also a military communication device. Let's scout ahead.”

Bai Zhu hesitated, ”Young Master Ji, let's rest first. When we came out, Yu Xuan and Lei Lei both warned me to take care of your body, only then will your injuries recover …”

Xiao Yu Xuan and Tong Lei already knew about Ji Feng's injury. However, in front of Ji Feng, they never mentioned it, nor did they ever show any signs of sadness or worry. They only wanted to prevent Ji Feng from being distracted.

However, in private, they warned Bai Zhu to take good care of Ji Feng.

Bai Zhu also did not wish for Ji Feng to be tired, not to mention the fact that Ji Feng had been wounded by a spear and had lost a lot of blood, so he was afraid that his body had not fully recovered yet.

Ji Feng smiled, ”Don't worry, I'm fine. Are you tired? ”

Bai Zhu shook his head, ”I'm not tired, but you …”

”Alright, let's go a bit further ahead. As long as we can find the place where the villagers started to flee, we'll stop, okay?” Ji Feng said gently.

”This... ”Fine.” White Pearl could only nod.

”Don't worry, we should be very close now.” Ji Feng saw that Bai Zhu was still worried, and couldn't help but laugh. ”Think about it, although those villagers frequently enter the mountain, they are only ordinary people. If they were to encounter danger in the mountain, even if they were to escape, how far would they be able to escape?”

”Maybe he'll run far away!” White Pearl said.

”No way!”

Ji Feng shook his head and said, ”Since they are all killed, it means that they cannot outrun the culprit. Furthermore, the culprit also has a weapon, so they will definitely not allow those villagers to escape too far... ”Let's go, I believe it's not far.”

White Pearl had no choice but to accompany him as he continued forward.

However, even though they had walked quite a distance, they could still see the traces on the ground. Bai Zhu raised her hand to look at her watch, it was already late in the night. Just as she was about to urge Ji Feng to stop and rest, she suddenly saw Ji Feng stop.

”Young Master Ji, what's wrong?” White Pearl asked hurriedly.

”We may have taken the wrong road!” Ji Feng bitterly smiled, ”Look, there are no traces of them in front of us.”

When the white ball s.h.i.+ned its flashlight on it, it discovered that the traces were getting fainter and fainter. Any further and there would be nothing left.

Ji Feng said helplessly, ”I'm afraid this trace was left behind by those mountain raiders. We need to go back and find the place with the most traces before we head in another direction …”

”Young Master Ji …”

”Hmm?!”

White Pearl wanted to say something, but Ji Feng suddenly frowned. He held the flashlight in her hand and said in a low voice, ”White Pearl, extinguish the light!”

Hearing this, Bai Zhu turned off the flashlight in tacit understanding. His expression immediately became alert as he asked, ”Young Master Ji …?”

Ji Feng replied in a low voice, ”Lower your voice. I saw a flash of light up ahead.”

”Light?”

White Pearl whispered, ”Could it be that my flashlight shone on something and then reflected back?”

Ji Feng shook his head. ”I don't think so!”

Ji Feng was indeed able to see the white light. Although it only flashed for a brief moment, he was able to keenly perceive that it was definitely not a reflection of the light, as he had personally witnessed the movement of the light.

”There's someone over there!”

Ji Feng lowered his voice, ”White Pearl, you go up to the tree immediately, I'll go take a look!”

Bai Zhu hurriedly said, ”Young Master Ji, I'll go with you …”

”No way!”

Ji Feng shook his head, ”The darkness here won't affect my vision, but you won't. I'm only going to check out the situation and will be back soon.”

Before the white pearl could say anything, Ji Feng said, ”You can stay in the dark and adapt as you please. If anything happens, I'll send you out to ambush me!”
