  "Oh?" Ran raised an eyebrow.

  Su Xiaoxiao didn’t seem ied iing into a frontation with Ran, and directly said, “We are siblings, raised together. If he’s in danger, I feel it.”

  Ran thought for a moment, then looked into the dense forest. After a short pause, he turned bad chuckled softly, "So Miss Su wants to break the tract?"

  The moment those words left his lips, Su Xiaoxiao's trembling body froze. She could clearly feel the chilling aura behind the words “break the tract.”

  It was like a sword, pointing directly at her forehead.

  “No,” Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied. She calmed herself, aone was no longer sent.

  She withdrew her gaze, looked at Ran, and said, “No matter what happens to my brother now, it’s already too te for me to go back. If we find the clues ooablet, my brht still have a ce of survival.”

  Ran nodded in approval, smiling, "Miss Su is indeed clever!"

  "Alright," Su Xiaoxiao turned and tinued deeper into the forest, "Let’s hurry up. We haven’t found any trace of those two people along the way. They might have already found the stoablet."

  Ran took his hand out of his pocket and smiled, following her, "I’ll follow Miss Su's lead."

  About half an hour ter, relying on Su Xiaoxiao’s memory, they finally found the strange white stoablet. Ran crouched down, hiding behind a dense bush.

  Su Xiaoxiao stood about two to three meters beside him, hiding behind a tree, only her face visible as she kept her eyes fixed on the area around the stoablet.

  They waited quietly for their prey to appear.

  Ran’s cold eyes slowly sed the area around the stoablet. It was indeed as Su Xiaoxiao had described—there the stoablet stood quietly in the ter.

  It was surrounded by piles of dry bones.

  And around the stoablet, there were tless tombs.

  Some of the tombs had scattered ons, mostly spears and harpoons, cold ons typical of warriors.

  It was all se.

  But even stranger was the location itself. This pce was deep within the forest, and while they couldn’t be sure of the exact distance from the edge, it was clearly far.

  Why go to such trouble t people here and bury them?

  Moreover, the soil here was a weird dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood. When they grabbed a handful and held it to their he smell was ing.

  Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

  Clearly, the people from Bck Stoown had lied to them. This pce couldn’t have been revealed by a flood as they cimed.

  The area around the stoablet was ft, a pletely open space with ation. It could almost be said that nothing grew here.

  A flood that relied on terrain wouldn’t have been able to do this, and it definitely wouldn’t have had the power to reach this pce.

  Everything here seemed... man-made.

  Ran slowly smiled, this was getting more iing.

  Su Xiaoxiao’s voice came from behind, filled with urgend ay, "Why haven’t those teared yet?" She was so worried about her brother that she had lost her posure.

  Ran’s gaze swept across the dark red soil and the edge of the forest, before he looked up at the sky.

  The sky remained unged, but too much time had passed.

  After a while, he slowly turned his gaze back to Su Xiaoxiao, who was still looking around, unaware of his attention.

  After some time—

  "Miss Su," Ran suddenly spoke, "I think..." He smiled and said, "Those trobably already been here."

  "Been here? Where?" Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes.

  Raended his hand and poi the white stoablet in the ter of the open space. "If I’m not mistaken, they’re already on it."

  "You mean they’re dead?"

  Ran didn’t respond directly. A strange light flickered in his eyes, but when Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze met his, the light quickly disappeared.

  "I think so," Ran exhaled, turning his head to look at the dead stillness of the stoablet and tombs. He lowered his voice, saying, "Based on the clues I’ve gathered, the stoablet shouldn’t be this quiet."

  Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then nodded, "You’re right. When I came st time, it wasn’t this quiet. Now, it feels like the stoablet is full, resting."

  "Exactly," Ran shrugged, stepping out from the forest first, "So, Miss Su, please hurry," his voice carried over with a slight distortion, "Don’t fet, it’s getting dark."

  This senteruck a chord with Su Xiaoxiao. O got dark, not only would she not know what would happen to her brother, but even she might not survive and walk out of the forest.

  She gritted her teeth and followed him, stepping out of the forest and walking towards the stoablet.

  As they passed tomb after tomb, she tried not to look, not to think about them, but couldn’t suppress the strange and chaotic images and lines fshing in her mind.

  It was like a needle, stabbing into her head, forcibly impnting something.

  The distaween them and the stoablet grew shorter, and Ran slowed his pace, matg Su Xiaoxiao's speed. His gentle eyes gradually began to take on other colors.

  ---

  "Doctor," the Fatty squatted, holding a broken branch with green leaves to shield himself, his small eyes peeking through the gaps. He whispered, "They’ve moved."

  Jiang g, hiding behind a moss-covered boulder, watched Su Xiaoxiao and Ran approach the stoablet step by step, tinuing to observe without revealing himself.

  The Fatty swallowed and turned his head, "Doctor," he lowered his voice, but couldn’t hide his excitement, "You’re amazing! How did you know they wouldn’t wait for us and would go check the stoablet themselves?"

  Ity’s eyes, this wasn’t a wise move, it was like sending twile bodies into danger.

  But it seemed the doctor wasn’t surprised. He didn’t even look at the Fatty and simply replied, "It’s almost dark. They ’t wait any longer."

  The Fatty thought for a moment and responded, "Well, if it were me, I’d wait until dark. At least that way, if something happens, we all go together. But these two just walked straight in, if something goes wrong, isn’t that suicide?"

  Jiang g casually said, "Not necessarily."

  The Fatty froze for a moment, then looked at the doctor, blinking, "Do they have some sort of hidden trump card? Something that save them?"

  Before he finished speaking, the Fatty seemed to think of something and became excited. "Do they have that kind of life-saving white paper?"

  Jiang g shifted his gaze, casting a sidelong look at the Fatty, and after a moment, said, "Whether they have white paper or not, I don’t know. But the one who is sending themselves to die isn’t the two of them, just that silly woman."

  "You think we’re the only ones out here testing the waters?" Jiang g tinued.
