Chapter 1529 (1/2)
Looking at Lin Zichen's plain face, Elise was cold in her heart. Although she knew that the former would not harm her, Lin Zichen's expression when observing the corpse was really scary.
In Alice's eyes, a corpse was the most terrible thing she had ever encountered, but in Lin Zichen's eyes, it was like grass on the roadside. That indifference made Lin Zichen, who was used to her usual state, feel strange.
Elise is naturally able to capture emotional sensitivity. It is precisely because of this inexplicable talent that she feels that Lin Zichen will not hurt her. Just like when Elise met Athena, at the first sight of their meeting, Elise thought Athena was a trustworthy person. Lin Zichen felt the same way to her. Otherwise, how could she get along so closely with a person she didn't know for two days?
But today, after seeing the other side of Lin Zichen, Alice felt more and more that this man was not simple, at least not what she saw on the surface, which was not all of Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen didn't notice that Elise was wrong. At this time, his attention was on the mummy in the tree. Carefully check the corpse in front of him. Although the corpse can't distinguish the appearance of a person because of time, Lin Zichen finds that the person must have encountered something terrible before he died through the subtle changes in the muscles on his face.
His face was full of fear. Although the realization was vague, he still couldn't escape Lin Zichen's eyes. The clothes of the corpse were torn and ragged, and there were traces of being grabbed by sharp claws on the body. Judging from the above traces, it was a large beast that killed the man, because the scratches on his body were very deep, which could not be caused by ordinary animals.
”Is it really a tiger?” Lin Zichen frowned slightly. The range of beasts that can cause such scars is very small. Cheetahs, tigers, bears, these animals can, and wolves are not excluded, but wolves are reluctant to cause such damage.
After checking the corpse, Lin Zichen stood up and looked at the flowers and plants around him. His mind carefully checked the surroundings. There were no signs of fighting, let alone the presence of wild animals.
Although the scale of this forest is small, it is not small. It only takes a few days to cover up the traces of wild animals, not to mention that this man has been dead for so long.
”Brother Tony.” When Elise saw that Lin Zichen had finished the inspection, her voice revealed some fear: ”brother Tony, do we want to go back?”
Elise finally realized the seriousness of the problem. It seems that mother-in-law ina is right. There are really terrible beasts in here!
”Hehe, don't worry, I will protect you.” Lin Zichen smiled at Elise, and then took advantage of Elise's inattention and secretly used genuine Qi to protect Elise's body to ensure her safety.
”Brother Tony, do you think that beast will suddenly appear?” Elise tried not to look at the dried corpse in the tree and ran to linzichen. Only by his side, Elise would feel safe.
Looking at Elise like a chicken seeking protection, Lin Zichen couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, when she came, the woman was still vowing. Unexpectedly, a mummy made her flinch.
Of course, it's not Alice's fault. It's good that Alice, who grew up spoiled from childhood, can summon up the courage not to run around. At least she doesn't add trouble to Lin Zichen.
”This is the edge of the forest. Wild animals shouldn't haunt here.” Lin Zichen thought for a while and comforted, ”and there are many suspicious places here.”
”Suspicious place?” Elise was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly asked, ”what's suspicious?”
Seeing that Elise paid attention to herself, Lin Zichen smiled. In order to alleviate the fear in Elise's heart, he did it on purpose, and Elise didn't live up to her expectations. She was smart enough not to think about the body again.
”Why do you say beasts hunt?” Lin Zichen took a look at the surrounding environment and asked while planning the way forward.
”Of course, to fill your stomach.” Alice subconsciously replied, ”if it weren't for hunger, the beast wouldn't hunt.”
”You're right. Beasts hunt to fill their stomachs, but this man hasn't been eaten.” Lin Zichen smiled, looked at Elise's puzzled eyes and said, ”this man's body has dried up and has been dead for some time in the world. From the traces on his body, we know that he was secretly attacked and died by wild animals, but why didn't the wild animals eat him?”
Lin Zichen is right. Ordinary beasts will not take the initiative to attack humans, whether tigers or other beasts. Only when there is no way out will they attack humans.
Of course, this will rule out some wild animals who are grumpy and like to attack humans. If the wild animals in the forest liked to attack humans, they would not shrink in the forest and would have gone out to attack humans long ago.
It was because of this that Lin Zichen judged that the beasts in it didn't like to attack humans, and they didn't kill because of lack of food.
”Will it be because this man entered the territory of the beast?” Elise immediately remembered what she saw on TV. When something invaded the territory, the beast would be angry and kill the thing that broke into the territory, whether human or other animals.
”This is not impossible.” Lin Zichen nodded and then said, ”but not everyone has invaded the territory of wild animals. What's more, there should be people with strong wild survival ability among these people. They will try to avoid the territory of these wild animals to protect themselves.”
