Chapter 667 - 667 665 Strange Noises

667: Chapter 665: Strange Noises 667: Chapter 665: Strange Noises Chen Yang felt extremely suspicious, so after getting dressed, he immediately strode towards the patch of bushes.

When he reached the spot where the noise had come from, Chen Yang crouched down to examine it closely and found that it was just a simple patch of grass.

There was nothing unusual.

“Did I hear wrong?”

Chen Yang quickly shook his head, he was still very confident in his own body.

It was impossible to have misheard, there definitely had been something here just now!

Chen Yang firmly believed this, so he examined the grass patch even more seriously.

Upon close inspection, he indeed found a spot that looked very strange.

In a hidden corner of the lawn, there was actually a small pit.

The structure of this pit and the soil were very natural, just as if some plant had originally grown there and had been pulled out, leaving behind the kind of hole that would remain.

Seeing this hole, Chen Yang immediately crouched down and touched the soil on the wall of the pit.

He found it still moist, very fresh.

This made Chen Yang even more puzzled.

In the depths of the mountains, human traces were rare, so this was almost impossible to be man-made.

And seeing how clean the hole was, it didn’t seem like it had been disturbed by any animal either.

With the strange pit and the noise from earlier, the situation suddenly became peculiar.

“What exactly is it?”

Chen Yang stood up, scanned the surroundings again, and didn’t find anything.

Seeing that he couldn’t figure out what it was, Chen Yang didn’t stay there any longer and left directly.

Although he was curious, it was more important to return to the camp first.

He had brought Wang Hong and the others into the mountains, and if they noticed his sudden disappearance, wouldn’t they be worried to death?

Chen Yang hurried back to the camp.

Wang Hong and the others had already noticed Chen Yang’s absence, and from their expressions, it was clear that they were indeed anxious.

However, they were relieved the moment they saw Chen Yang return.

They sighed in relief.

“Boss Chen, where have you been?

We thought something had happened to you,” Wang Hong exhaled and stepped forward to ask.

Chen Yang felt a bit apologetic.

“Sorry, I went to the bathroom nearby and didn’t let you know.” Chen Yang casually made up an excuse.

After hearing this, Wang Hong didn’t say much else, just nodded and said everything was fine and then continued to prepare dinner.

Wang Qingyue went to the wooden cabin.

Only He Rui was still glaring angrily at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang gave him a glance and then ignored him, letting him glare all he wanted.

It wasn’t as if he would lose a piece of flesh.

That night, the group spent a peaceful night at the camp, with nothing happening.

The next morning, after they had breakfast, Wang Hong and his companions prepared to start searching for the items they needed.

Since the items Wang Hong and his companions were looking for seemed very mysterious, Chen Yang was wise and did not suggest they go together.

Wang Hong also didn’t intend to bring Chen Yang along; after briefly instructing him, they left.

“Sheesh, searching for herbs so mysteriously, afraid I’ll steal them or what?”

Seeing them walk away, Chen Yang disdainfully shook his head.

Afterward, he didn’t stay at the camp.

Instead, he took a hatchet and some spices and went back to the grassy area where the strange incident had happened the day before.

Yesterday’s incident was really too strange.

Logically speaking, with Chen Yang’s current reflexes and hearing, nearly no animal could escape his watchful eyes.

But yesterday, an unknown creature had managed to slip away right from under his watchful gaze.

Chen Yang’s curiosity was greatly aroused; he was eager to understand what that thing truly was.

Returning to yesterday’s meadow, Chen Yang conducted a thorough inspection once more.

However, except for that pit, there was still no clue to be found in this patch of grass.

He crouched down and touched the pit’s wall with his hand, finding that it had dried already.

“My guess wasn’t wrong, it really did slip away right under my nose.”

Chen Yang squinted his eyes, his gaze shifting towards the direction of the jungle.

Although he hadn’t seen what creature it was yesterday, he had clearly heard the direction in which the creature had slipped away.

After staying in place for a few seconds, Chen Yang got up and walked toward that direction, hoping to find some clues along the mysterious thing’s path of disappearance.

Chen Yang kept walking in the direction of disappearance, but after more than half an hour, he saw no clues or anything of the sort.

There was no discovery of anything strange either.

After walking for over half an hour and finding nothing, Chen Yang gave up.

Continuing this way seemed pointless.

“I might as well gather some herbs, if that thing is active around here, I’m sure I’ll encounter it again.”

Chen Yang scanned his surroundings and then turned back the way he had come.

Once he returned to the stream, he continued walking down along it.

Water sources in the deep mountains are crucial, so many herbs generally grow beside streams.

Thus, searching for medicinal herbs along the stream was the most effortless and effective method.

In this way, Chen Yang spent the entire morning roaming near the stream.

At noon, he casually set up a few traps in the forest, caught a wild chicken, and roasted it to eat.

After eating and drinking his fill, he found a large tree to sleep soundly underneath.

His main task in this mountain trip was to guide the way, not with any specific purpose, so he didn’t have much else to do.

Once he woke up, he took out all the herbs he had gathered that morning, washed them in the stream water, and then directly started alchemy.

With the abundance of herbs in the deep mountains and nothing else to do as a guide, Chen Yang thought of making more alchemy medicines to facilitate future use.

Moreover, before entering the mountains this time, Chen Yang had reviewed the latest edition of the Medicine King’s Sutra.

Many of the latest prescriptions on it had yet to be tried by Chen Yang, and now with herbs everywhere, wasn’t this a perfect opportunity for experimentation?

Chen Yang sat cross-legged under the big tree, continuously making various alchemy pills.

Slightly distracted, the day passed by.

Feeling the surrounding temperature dropping more and more, Chen Yang also stopped the alchemy, looked at the sun setting fast, and took out an upgraded version of the body tempering pill to consume.

Afterward, once his body expelled the impurities and he had cleaned up in the stream, he returned to camp.

When he got back to the camp, he found that Wang Qingyue, Wang Hong, and the others had already returned.

They were gathered in a circle as if discussing something, but they stopped talking as soon as they heard Chen Yang approaching.

And all of them looked over in Chen Yang’s direction.

The others, seeing Chen Yang, showed no particular expressions.

But He Rui, as if shot with gunpowder, confronted Chen Yang with an unpleasant tone, questioning where Chen Yang had been.Chen Yang, who was in a rather good mood originally, frowned immediately upon hearing this.

“What business is it of yours where I went?

What are you exactly?”

“You!” He Rui angrily stood up, “Don’t I need to care?

You run around in these wild mountains; what are we supposed to do if something happens to you?

Don’t you have any sense of teamwork?”

“Paying you one hundred thousand for a day, and you act this irresponsibly?”

He Rui argued vehemently, accusing Chen Yang.

It sounded somewhat reasonable, but Chen Yang was very clear inside, this guy was just looking for trouble.

His thoughts were not so nobly transparent.

If there were any, it would be out of concern that he himself couldn’t find his way out of the mountains, definitely not for Chen Yang.
