Ye Zhao kept staring at that place until he could see no more traces, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He supported his body with his palms and moved back a few times, and then leaned against the tree behind him.

He raised his right hand and glanced at the dagger that had been clenched tightly. He wondered if it was a psychological effect. After the dagger was soaked in the monster's blood, it seemed to be brighter.

After shaking off the remaining blood, Ye Zhao put the dagger back into his coat pocket, then took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt, used it as a bandage, tightly tied the wound on his waist, and wrapped his coat again.

Looking at the smudges on his body, he snorted and frowned in disgust: Going to the pharmacy can actually do this...

Lord Ye, who had just had a fight with the monster, had an episode of cleanliness, and now he just wanted to take a good bath.

He endured the dull pain of the wound and stood up, turned around in the depression, and found the scabbard and mobile phone that had fallen off before, but the wine he just bought was not here, it was probably dropped on the street in front of the pharmacy superior.

Fortunately, the quality of the phone was good. Ye Zhao swiped the screen and it turned on. He thought for a while, then called up Xia Zhiming's number and dialed it.

☆、Chapter25

As soon as the phone rang twice, the phone was connected. Xia Zhiming was probably worried about Ye Zhao because of the case, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? My right eyelid. I danced for a long time!"

Ye Zhao was stunned by him for a moment, and then calmly said "um", "I have a little trouble here, are you free to pick me up now?"

"Little trouble? Wait a minute." Xia Zhiming shouted at someone over there, "Lend me the car and pick up Ye Zhao!"

Luo Xiaochen's voice came faintly, "Ah? Okay, what's wrong with Ye Zhao? Let's go together."

Ye Zhao was pressing on his waist, and the movement just now pulled at the wound, where the pain was getting worse and worse as his heart throbbed. He moved to the nearest tree and leaned against it, and heard Xia Zhiming ask, "Where are you now? We'll go over there."

Supporting the tree and looking around, Ye Zhao saw a winding stream about ten meters away from him. It seemed to flow down the mountain all the way. Next to the stream, there happened to be a half-human-height sculpture in the shape of a toad. of Black Stone.

Looking over from Ye Zhao, can only see the side of the toad-shaped stone sculpture. If remember correctly, the name of this stream is engraved on the front base of the stone sculpture. Several years ago, Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan came to climb here. Shan, took a picture when passed by this toad rock.

"I'm at Frogling." Ye Zhao replied with a look back.

"Where??" Xia Zhiming was probably shocked, and confirmed it again, "Frog Ridge?! You mean the frog Ridge at the western border of H City?"

"Um."

Luo Xiaochen was also shocked over there. He leaned over to the phone and said, "Damn, Ye Zhao, are you still interested in visiting Frog Ridge at this time?! No one went there a year ago. You can't think of it?"

Ye Zhao: "..."

There was no more nonsense over there. After a while, I could vaguely hear Xia Zhiming say "You drive!", followed by the sound of the door opening and closing, he brought the phone to his ear again, and said to Ye Zhao, "Let's get in. The car is on its way, but it may take more than two hours at the earliest. Can you wait? What trouble did you encounter there?"

The standing posture is really not good for the wound. No matter how much Ye Zhao disliked the wet ground, he had to sit down against the tree and leaned his head against the rough tree. The uneven hard skin made the back of his head uncomfortable. Holding the phone, he briefly narrated what had happened before, in a succinct manner, no more than two sentences in total, and his tone was as calm as ever, except for a frown in the middle due to the pain of the wound, and even his expression did not change.

But Xia Zhiming couldn't be so calm. Hearing Ye Zhao finished speaking, he paused for three seconds, and was about to roar: "...You actually told me that such a terrible thing is a little trouble?! Are you really calm or not? Nervous?!"

He tilted his head away from the phone, and when Xia Zhiming finished roaring, Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows and moved closer to the phone: "I'm sure it's not a nerve problem. Anyway, it's resolved now, and I'm still alive and well, right?"

Xia Zhiming was rendered powerless by him.

Someone talking with him can divert his attention and relieve the pain in his waist. Ye Zhao's rare words became more and more, "Do you remember, in the stack of photos you showed me last time, you said those footprints were very problematic, just It's like that person is being carried by something. When this monster brought me here, it was biting with its teeth. If that person is also being held in this way, as long as the biting position is a little higher, the foot can be touched On the ground, let alone that person is over 1.9 meters tall."

Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's true... There were no traces of footprints in the past, most likely because the victim's height was average, and the length of the foot was naturally hanging down, so it was impossible to touch the ground. According to what you said, I only saw a pair of eyes, and I was dragged to a dark place before I had time to respond. When the monster left, there was an extra door out of thin air, which may be something like a passage, so that the victims are likely to be In some remote places, he was taken to another place by the monster in the same way, and then—" He said, his voice lowered, and he probably felt a little embarrassed.
