As a clear hawk cry sounded, Yang Lin, who had been about to study the formula for monkey wine, immediately scrambled out of the cave.
He looked up and saw the figure of Peng Baobao circling above a mountain peak not far from him.
"Did it discover something?"
With this thought, Yang Lin immediately initiated a visual share.
The next second, a perspective from Peng Baobao appeared before his eyes.
The first thing that greeted his sight was a mountain peak covered by trees and white snow.
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing particularly unusual.
Only when Yang Lin zoomed in did a faint, white figure appear there.
"It's him!"
With just one glance, Yang Lin recognized the white figure as the "wild man" who had previously appeared in the cameras of Teacher Xiao Liang and others.
He had thought it would take some effort to find this "wild man," but he didn't expect Peng Baobao to locate him so quickly.
Thinking this, he immediately took out a walkie-talkie from his backpack.
"Captain Li, I've found the creature that resembles the wild man."
"I'll head over there first. You can track my location and follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changhai, in a forest an unknown distance away, immediately received the message.
Upon receiving Yang Lin's communication, the other members of the rescue team became excited.
"That's great! Director Yang is indeed reliable."
"In such a large area, he found the wild man so quickly."
"We need to hurry, otherwise Director Yang might not be a match for the wild man alone, and he might get captured too."
"That's unlikely, right?"
"Isn't it rumored that there's a female wild man who abducts people for marriage? I'm worried that if we're late, Teacher Xiao Liang and Director Yang might meet misfortune."
"Then we really need to speed up."
...
While the rescue team members were heading towards Yang Lin's location, Yang Lin himself was already running towards the adjacent mountain peak in the direction provided by Peng Baobao.
For ordinary people, the primeval jungle that was impossible to navigate was like flat ground for Yang Lin.
He walked where there was a path, climbed trees where there was no path, and even scaled sheer cliffs where there were no trees.
At this moment, he was wilder than the wild man.
He covered in more than ten minutes a distance that would take ordinary people half an hour or even an hour.
After entering the area where the wild man had been discovered, he also found some other clues along the way.
A hiking shoe that seemed to belong to an unlucky member of the production crew, a backpack containing water and food, and a wallet full of identification documents.
Opening the wallet, a familiar fox-like face appeared before him.
"Good heavens, even his ID was left here. What on earth happened then?"
At this point, Yang Lin was finally certain that Teacher Xiao Liang and the others were indeed in this area.
And it was highly likely connected to the mysterious creature resembling the wild man.
"I hope that wild man is a vegetarian."
While praying that Teacher Xiao Liang and the others were safe, Yang Lin continued to search in the previous direction.
After walking for a few more minutes, a bamboo forest covered in snow appeared before Yang Lin's eyes.
At a glance, Yang Lin was captivated by the bamboo forest.
He had never seen black bamboo in his life. Apart from the leaves, the entire trunk was black.
"Is this purple bamboo that's so dark it looks black?"
After some research, Yang Lin reached this conclusion. But just as he was about to look closer, he suddenly felt like he had stepped on something soft.
When he moved his foot away, a clump of dirty matter made of various plant fibers appeared before him.
"Could this be the legendary wild man's droppings?"
"But why does it feel a bit like panda dung?"
To verify, Yang Lin casually picked up a branch and poked it.
Soon, a large amount of undigested food residue was revealed before him.
Most of it was plant roots, with a small portion of unknown wild fruits.
As he looked, Yang Lin's brows furrowed.
"This wild man really is a vegetarian."
Just as he reached this conclusion, a faint sound came from the bamboo forest nearby.
Hearing the sound, Yang Lin immediately turned his head, and the next moment, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. It was none other than the white wild man he had seen before.
The wild man clearly realized he had been discovered by Yang Lin and bolted into the forest.
Seeing this, Yang Lin chased after it without a second thought.
Perhaps due to living in this mountain forest for years, the wild man ran incredibly fast, but Yang Lin was not far behind.
As time passed, Yang Lin could even see the wild man's back.
At first glance, this wild man was at least three meters tall, powerfully built, and muscular.
While called a wild man, it looked more like a yeti from some anime or cartoon.
No wonder Teacher Xiao Liang and the others were so terrified when they encountered it.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Yang Lin felt the surrounding light dimming.
Before long, a slope completely obscured by vegetation appeared before him.
Before Yang Lin could react, the white wild man plunged headfirst into a grass nest and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the bottomless grass nest before him, even with his courage, Yang Lin hesitated for a moment.
"Could this be the wild man's lair?"
As this thought popped into his mind, something next to the grass nest caught his attention.
Picking it up, he realized it was a mobile phone.
The moment he saw the phone, he knew he had found the right place. Teacher Xiao Liang and the others had definitely been captured by that wild man and brought to its lair.
For a moment, a lot of bloody scenes flashed through his mind.
He couldn't help but shudder. He dared not think further.
"No, I have to go in and take a look. It's only been less than two days, they shouldn't have been eaten yet."
As he spoke, Yang Lin grabbed a bamboo rat from the nearby bamboo forest.
"Little brother rat, I'll have to trouble you this time."
"Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bamboo rat, which was in hibernation, was thrown into the grass nest.
At the same time, a shared view appeared before Yang Lin.
At first, it was a dark passage.
But as the bamboo rat crawled forward, the light gradually brightened.
After the bamboo rat had crawled for dozens of meters, a verdant valley appeared before Yang Lin.
The valley was like another world, with fragrant grass and falling blossoms. For some reason, a passage from a textbook came to Yang Lin's mind.
