Chapter 167 Finding a Way in the Jungle

Blue Thread Grass is one of the main materials for making advanced recovery potions. It has a very good recovery effect. It is very popular among adventurers. This herb is only found in the Misty Jungle and has not been found anywhere else. So the price is not bad.

Under the guidance of Christine, Lin Li walked to the place where the blue line grass originally grew, but there was no trace of the blue line grass anymore.

"Those that are easier to collect have all been collected." Christine said as she continued to move in one direction.

When they came in, there were still some people walking. There was a path. But as Christine continued to move forward, they had completely entered a place that no one had explored. Just as Lin Li said. It was really difficult to walk.

To avoid any accidents, Lin Li had marked the route beforehand. Because Christine seemed a little unintelligent, Lin Li was afraid that she was unreliable.

After Christine came in, she kept looking around. Lin Li couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you can still find that place?"

Christine said as she searched carefully, "I've been making marks since I found myself lost. As long as I can find one of the marks, I can find the location."

"Damn, shouldn't you have started marking when you came in?"

"Don't worry, I remember clearly that I was heading in this direction."

"What kind of mark is it? Let me help you find it."

"It's a five-pointed star drawn with one stroke, and the biggest angle is the direction of travel. I carved them all on the trees."

The road was too difficult to travel on, so Lin Li had no choice but to take out his sword and use physical force to clear the way.

As time went by, Christine became more and more anxious because she still couldn't find any mark.

Lin Li looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Can't you find it?"

Kristen lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Maybe, maybe, maybe, I went in the wrong direction."

"Damn, I knew you were unreliable."

Lin Li had no choice but to return along the path he had marked and returned to the place where the blue grass grew at the beginning.

"Think carefully about it. Which direction did you go at that time?"

Kristen looked around and said uncertainly, "Maybe this way."

"Let's go, what else do you want?"

The two began to explore in that direction again.

Two hours later, Lin Li and Christine returned to the place where the blue grass grew.

At this time, Christine lowered her head to her chest and didn't dare to look at Lin Li at all.

"It's no use lowering your head. Just lift your chest with your hands and you can feed yourself. Change the direction and keep looking."

Half a day later, the two returned to the place where the blue line grass grew. With this as the center, they had already explored several directions nearby, but they did not find the marks Christine had made at that time. However, they did find a few blue line grasses.

"How long did you walk before you realized you were lost?"

"It should be no more than an hour... I think."

Lin Li looked left and right at the jungle. There must be something wrong here. Logically speaking, Christine should not have gone far as she was looking for blue grass while moving forward in less than an hour.

Lin Li suddenly thought of a possibility, so he said to Christine: "Let's search again in the direction we started from."

"This time, keep your head down and walk as if you were looking for bluegrass."

The blue line grass is very short, only about one foot high, with long and thin leaves and a blue line in the middle. It is mixed in the jungle full of weeds, and you have to bend down and look carefully to find it.

Walking with your head down is different from walking with your head up. The perception of direction will be biased. And in this jungle, the bias will be even stronger.

So Christine walked ahead with her head down, looking for bluegrass, while Lin followed behind, watching her.

Wow, you don't know until you see it, you'll be shocked. Christine thought she was moving forward, but she actually didn't know where she was going. If Lin Li hadn't marked the way along the way, she wouldn't be able to find her way back now.

After walking for almost an hour, they still couldn't find the mark. Then they went back and tried again in the same way. This time they reached another place.

Lin Li was so tired of complaining about Christine's sense of direction that she even went astray on the road she just walked.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Li stared at her fiercely, while Christine lowered her head and said nothing.

Lin Li finally sighed.

"You've been here for so long, and you're still alive. It's a miracle."

Kristen replied in a very low voice: "I used to have a teammate. But then she went back to her hometown to get married. That's when I started to be alone."

"Let's go back to where the bluegrass grows and camp tonight. We'll start looking tomorrow morning. Be prepared to search this direction thoroughly. God knows where you went at that time."

Fortunately, there was a general direction. Lin Li and Christine were also lucky enough to finally find the five-pointed star mark left behind in the afternoon of the second day.

When Christine saw the mark, she breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was wandering in the misty jungle for three days before I discovered the underground ruins by chance."

"How dare you say that? It's only an hour's walk. All you need to do is mark the path and then explore back slowly, step by step. Yet you can go further and further. You can stay in there for days. You're lucky to be able to get out."

Lin Li and Christine followed the markings and moved forward. As they went deeper and deeper into the jungle, some monsters appeared one after another. However, with their current strength, these monsters were just food for the people.

After walking for a while in the direction of the mark, Lin Li still didn't see the mark. He immediately felt something was wrong, so he quickly pulled Christine back to find the mark and walked again. In the end, he found that a short distance could lead to two different locations.

Lin Li finally understood why Christine had been wandering for several days. It was because Lin Li found that there was a natural maze here. After going deep into it, his sense of direction was completely messed up. Even if there were signs to point the way, he would still go to the wrong place.

The point is that many places look similar, and the visible distance is also very short.

This greatly increased the difficulty of finding the way for the two of them. They even found that there were several marks next to a certain mark, so Lin Li didn't know which mark to follow.

In the end, it became a matter of not walking in the direction of the mark, but looking for the next mark every time you reach a mark.

It took Christine three days. This time, the two of them spent a week. Finally, they saw the entrance to the underground ruins that Christine mentioned.
