Chapter 687 Unidentified
"No... this is not a human footprint. Look at the footprint, it is round and barefoot. You can still see the clawprint, which looks like some kind of primate, but it does not look like an orangutan monkey. If you guessed correctly, the footprint was left not long ago." Jiang Lilisi asked.
"Can it be something like orangutan monkey?" Ye Haoxuan asked in confusion. Although the footprints in front of him were a little shallow, they could be vaguely seen with two feet, not humans. They were only primates. But what else could primates walk with two feet?
What's more, the footprints are relatively large. If you don't look carefully, you will definitely think that they were left by an adult. They will definitely not be the footprints of a monkey, because the little thing has never walked in such a regular manner, and its feet are not so big.
"I just measured it, it's not an orangutan, but I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was left behind." Jiang Lili frowned.
Ye Haoxuan's expression became solemn. Jiang Lili is a biologist and knows the characteristics and appearance of most creatures. If she doesn't even know what is left behind, then this thing is really not simple.
"Is it the mountain god the villagers call?" Jiang Lili asked in surprise.
"It's not impossible." Ye Haoxuan smiled and said, "There must be no god in this world. It is very likely that it is a rare primate. Occasionally, people see it, so they regard it as a god. If you have the chance to study it another day, let's go."
Jiang Lili nodded, she put away her things and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain with Ye Haoxuan.
There is nothing in the mountain god temple, and there is not even a divine elephant inside. There is nothing but an Eight Immortals table in the main hall that offers the "position of the mountain god" except that.
There was nothing in the temple, but a trace of doubt surged in Ye Haoxuan's heart. The footprints of unknown origin just now made him feel a little confused. He always felt that there were some unknown things in this rare Western mountain.
After bypassing the mountain god temple, the road ahead is even more difficult to walk. Strictly speaking, there is no road ahead, because the villagers are usually very respectful of the so-called mountain gods on this mountain. They almost never come except worshiping each year, and there are even fewer people to the top of the west mountain, so the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk.
Ye Haoxuan kept waving his sickle and chopping away the dead branches and thorns in front of him. After all, the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain.
There was no strange thing along the way. Look at the time, it was already noon. The two of them grabbed the mountain for a morning and were already exhausted. Ye Haoxuan's physical fitness was good, but nothing was fine. Jiang Lili was sweating. Her white shirt was soaked in her sweat, which made Ye Haoxuan, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but glance at some places that shouldn't have looked at.
When the two of them came, they prepared compressed biscuits and ate a few casually. These biscuits were military biscuits specially prepared by their superiors. Although they didn't taste very good, they tasted hungry. They only ate one piece and then drank some water and felt full in their stomachs.
However, the two of them consumed a lot of energy. After eating the biscuits, Ye Haoxuan took out some dried rabbit meat and handed it to Jiang Lili. The two of them ate it together.
This morning, Abao's mother specially prepared to give these air-dried rabbit meat to the two of them. Since Niu Niu was going to school, she did not come to see Ye Haoxuan off.
"The villagers are very nice to you." Jiang Lili smiled.
"The people here are simple and honest. As long as you treat them a little nicer, they will be grateful." Ye Haoxuan smiled.
After eating, the two of them rested on the spot. Although with Ye Haoxuan's physique, catching this mountain road was nothing, Jiang Lili couldn't bear it. It was estimated that the road she walked in a year was not as much as today.
So she finished her meal and leaned on the tree and went for lunch.
Ye Haoxuan took advantage of her chance to sleep and looked around.
The two of them are now on the top of the mountain. Although nothing has appeared along the way, Ye Haoxuan has an intuition. He still vaguely feels that something is wrong here, but he can't remember what is wrong. He just feels that there must be something wrong here.
After Ye Haoxuan walked to a big tree, he solved his physiological problems. He saw that it was getting late and was about to go back and wake up Jiang Lili, his heart was shocked. In his perception, a black shadow flashed by.
Ye Haoxuan secretly cried out because the place where the black shadow was was where Jiang Lili rested. He quickly turned around and rushed towards the place where Jiang Lili was.
Almost at the same time, Jiang Lili, who was resting on the side, exclaimed with endless fear in her voice.
"Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang..." Ye Haoxuan rushed to Jiang Lili's side as fast as possible.
Jiang Lili was half sitting on the ground, her face pale without a trace of blood. She looked ahead in horror, and there was nothing in front of her.
She was obviously frightened, so Ye Haoxuan quickly took out the golden needle and stabbed several acupoints on her body. Only then did Jiang Lili come to her senses.
"Sister Jiang, what's wrong? What did you see just now?" Ye Haoxuan asked nervously.
"I, I don't know, it seems to be a person, his speed is extremely fast, sweeping past the treetops in front of me." Jiang Lili said in amazement.
"People? On the treetops?" Ye Haoxuan's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, he is on the treetops. His speed is too fast. I only saw a shadow." Jiang Lili's face was not covered with blood.
Ye Haoxuan frowned, and his powerful perception suddenly came out everywhere, and the surrounding area of several feet in a radius covered his perception, but his perception was empty and there was no one there.
"Xiao Ye, I definitely didn't look at it." Jiang Lili's face returned to a little rosy. She calmed down and stood up.
"Sister Jiang, I know you didn't see it. There was indeed someone just now." Ye Haoxuan nodded.
"This is not a normal person." Jiang Lili said.
"I know." Ye Haoxuan said silently, jokingly, if he was a normal person, could he walk on the treetops? Do you think this is a martial arts novel that can fly over the eaves and walls?
In this world, you do have the ability to lighten your body, but it is absolutely impossible to fly over the eaves and walls like on TV.
Even at the top of this world, the Heavenly Level Warriors cannot do it. They just run very fast, their physical functions are far higher than ordinary people, floating on the treetops? Unless they are ghosts.
"Sister Jiang, let's go back. I feel that there may be danger here." Ye Haoxuan said.
"No, no, I think we are almost finding the source of the virus. The person... or something just now must be related to this matter." Jiang Lili shook her head and said.
"Of course I know this. I will go to the mountain myself tomorrow to find out this matter. You will be in danger." Ye Haoxuan said.
"I'm not afraid." Jiang Lili shook her head and said, "Xiao Ye, I know you are not an ordinary person, but this matter is the business of the entire team. I can't let you take risks alone. Besides, some things are my strengths. If I follow you, the source will be found soon."
"I know Sister Jiang, but you have also seen what happened just now. Strictly speaking, this matter has already produced a normal person's ability." Ye Haoxuan said.
"Of course I know, because my work is quite special, I might as well reveal some things to you. In fact, there are many things that ordinary people cannot see in their lifetime in their biotechnology research institute. I am not afraid. I just want to find out the source quickly, and then... after returning to the capital, I can ask you to treat my son." Jiang Lili said seriously.
"Sister Jiang, don't worry, your son will be fine." Ye Haoxuan smiled bitterly. This woman was quite hard-working.
"Xiao Ye, although I believe in your medical skills, you have never been a father. You don't know that children are the flesh of parents. My relationship with my husband has always been bad. The only thing I have now is my child. I really don't want him to suffer for a day."
The first time he heard Jiang Lili mention her relationship with her husband, Ye Haoxuan felt a little touched, but now he is thousands of miles away, and there is no way for Jiang Lili's children.
He only comforted him: "Sister Jiang, don't worry. I have already told the people in the clinic before that Mr. Yu will delay the child's pain. It's okay. I will definitely return to the capital within half a month."
Ye Haoxuan does have to return to the capital within half a month, because Chen Ruoxi's booking days are close to each other, and in fact he is more anxious than Jiang Lili.
But what happened just now was too strange. If Jiang Lili followed, he was afraid that he would be distracted. It would be a trivial matter to let the man run away. If Jiang Lili makes a mistake, it would be something he would not want to see.
In fact, Jiang Lili strictly speaking has another identity. Her superficial identity is from the Huaxia Biotechnology Research Institute, but she has a special identity, which is unknown.
China has a vast land and a wide range of things. Some special creatures are something that normal people will never see in their lifetime, but Jiang Lili’s job is to study these things.
If the "person" just now hadn't been too weird, she wouldn't have been so shocked.
"It's still early, we're exploring the road here. If it doesn't work, we're going back and making plans, okay?" Jiang Lili said.
Looking at the time, it was indeed early, Ye Haoxuan had to nod helplessly.
"That person just now went in that direction, let's go over and take a look." Jiang Lili pointed to the west.
The two are now at the top of the West Mountain. When they are walking west, they are cliffs. Below the cliff is an endless sea of forests. A few dozen miles behind the West Mountain is an original and primitive forest. The two are walking along the mountain road and reaching the edge of the cliff, but nothing suspicious is found.
