Chapter 127: Chapter 121: Mysterious Shadow_3

Moreover, the entire path was covered in dense vegetation; in some places, even sunlight couldn’t penetrate. The forest floor was blanketed with a thick layer of dead leaves that had accumulated over the years.

Checking the GPS, it took the pair two hours just to cover one-third of the distance.

Fortunately, they had already climbed over the highest peak before, and now they were on the descent. Moreover, the vegetation became sparser and they could see the long-lost sunlight again.

After about another hour, Lin Yang suddenly heard rustling noises in the forest and immediately stopped, protecting Yue’er behind him.

At that moment, a yellowish-brown figure flashed by not far from them.

When Lin Yang looked towards the source of the noise, the yellowish-brown shadow seemed to notice them as well. It stopped its rapid movement through the woods and started to move closer to their direction.

Lin Yang took a careful look and was shocked; the animal in the distance was predominantly yellow-grey-brown and its size and appearance were somewhat similar to a wolf’s, only smaller.

Seeing this, he drew a short knife from his waist.

"What’s wrong, Brother Yang?" Seeing Lin Yang stop and the tense expression on his face, she asked in confusion.

Lin Yang gestured with his eyes towards the wild wolf-like animal in the distance and whispered, "There’s a wolf."

Yue’er followed his gaze and also spotted the animal.

"It’s a fox!"

After her exclamation, the girl quickly took out her phone and started taking photos, which completely baffled Lin Yang.

Sister, even if it’s not a wolf, but a wild fox,

Shouldn’t you be scared? Why are you taking photos? What kind of thought process is this?

Watching Lin Yang tense up beside her, Yue’er couldn’t help but laugh, "Haha, it’s a Fire Fox, very gentle and also very timid."

"I can’t miss this, I need to take more photos before it runs away," she said as she changed angles and continued to snap several more pictures.

Perhaps believing the two ’Horror upright apes’ in front of it were acting too strange, the Fire Fox stayed for just over ten seconds before swiftly running away.

Seeing this, Lin Yang’s face turned red with embarrassment, feeling foolish for the misunderstanding despite having done extensive research the night before.

As the Fire Fox disappeared into the forest, the two of them continued on their way.

Although they were now descending, the path wasn’t significantly easier than the climb up. Some slopes were steep and a careless step could lead to a fall into a valley.

But fortunately, Lin Yang now had extraordinary physical strength, easily leading the way down the mountain.

He had thought Yue’er would find the trek too difficult, but to his surprise, after several hours on the mountain path, she didn’t complain at all, instead, she seemed completely relaxed.

Especially after capturing the photo of the Fire Fox, she had been chirping nonstop, wondering if they could encounter other wild animals or the like.

When Lin Yang heard this, he felt a tightness in his rear, realizing that in her eyes these wild beasts were no different than kittens and puppies.

The two walked on for a while.

They now found themselves deep in a valley between two mountain peaks, with the faint sound of running water coming from ahead.

Lin Yang took out his phone to check their current location; they were about a third of the way from the wild lake and estimated they would arrive by noon.

After arriving here, there was another thing that surprised him: there had been signal all along, whether at the base of the mountain or in the deep mountains at this moment, so he felt very secure about the path they were taking.

The two continued walking for a short distance, and sure enough, a clear stream appeared before them.

"Alright, let’s rest for a bit before we set off again," Lin Yang said as he took off his backpack and began to take out the high-calorie food they had prepared earlier.

"Wow, such clear stream water,"

Yue’er saw the stream that had appeared in front of them, happily ran up close, and squatted down on a cobblestone.

"Okay, let’s eat something first," Lin Yang said as he tossed a piece of chocolate to her.

The young girl had been in an excited state all the way here, and it was the same now; she took out her phone and started snapping away.

Ah, women ~

"Brother Yang, look, there are fish in this stream!" Yue’er suddenly exclaimed, pointing at a spot on the water and calling out with joy.

Lin Yang also became interested.

The stream in front of them was no wider than two meters at its broadest part, and the water was only deep enough to barely cover an ankle in many places. It was so clear that one could easily see to the bottom. He hadn’t expected fish to be in such a small water flow, but since their main goal was to fish, he got up and walked over when he heard there were fish.

Indeed, following the direction Yue’er was pointing, a group of about a dozen fish the size of fingers were swimming joyously in the water.

Perhaps because he got too close, the school of fish suddenly scattered and hid in the crevices between stones.

Lin Yang glanced at them and lost interest; these were just small fry, which they had caught before, and the surface area of the water here was too small to fish in anyway.

"Eh, what’s that?"

Yue’er seemed to have spotted something new, staring at an object that kept moving on the water’s surface and speaking out.

But the next second, she jumped back with a pale face, terrified.

"Ah, it’s a snake!"

After saying this, she hurriedly hid behind Lin Yang.

Lin Yang almost laughed out when he saw a snake about forty to fifty centimeters long on the water’s surface.

This snake had a round head and light-colored patterns distributed along its body. As someone who often went fishing outdoors, he recognized at a glance that this was a common non-toxic water snake.

He shook his head as he looked at Yue’er hiding behind him. Just now, when the rare Fire Fox appeared, she wasn’t the slightest bit scared, yet now she was petrified by a water snake.

Indeed, snakes are a woman’s natural enemy.

"It’s okay, it’s just a water snake, it’s not poisonous," Lin Yang patted her hand that was still clutching his arm, trying to comfort her.

Due to the appearance of this water snake, Yue’er kept her distance from the stream, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing down at her feet as if afraid that the same water snake would crawl over.

With this little incident, she was reluctant to stay here any longer, and after quickly eating some food, the two set off again.
