Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 709 The Appearance of Savages

"Wild man?" Mu Qiancheng was taken aback, looking at Chen Ming. He didn’t believe in such things as wild men. He guessed it was more likely to be a hunter.

But then, if it were a hunter, why would it be rumored to be a wild man? Could it be that the person was not wearing clothes and had grown hair on their body? Otherwise, it would be impossible to be mistaken for a wild man.

"That’s right, a wild man. According to the legend, those wild men don’t wear clothes, they only cover themselves with tree bark, and they’re incredibly agile. A few years ago, I heard someone came to this forest to explore and encountered the wild man, got scared half to death, and fell seriously ill afterward."

"Are you sure this rumor is true? Why haven’t I heard of it?" Mu Qiancheng frowned. Logically, if there was such news, it should have been reported. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"You weren’t around here at that time, of course, you wouldn’t know. Moreover, I heard later that some people went into the mountain specifically to look for it but found nothing. They even thought the explorer who claimed to have found the wild man was mentally unstable."

"I see." Mu Qiancheng understood why the story didn’t spread, because those who went later didn’t find the wild man.

"Should we tell the team about this, to prevent them from being scared by the wild man?" Chen Ming asked in a low voice. He personally thought it was better to inform them. Just in case they encounter it, they won’t be frightened.

"Alright, let’s tell them shortly." Mu Qiancheng didn’t oppose. As the team leader, he had more things to consider.

If that wild man really is a hunter, then it’s fine, but what if they aren’t? This can only be confirmed upon encounter.

However, they had already ventured deep into the heart of the forest by now and were probably close to the place where those people settled.

But the forest is so vast, how can they confirm exactly where those people are? It’s unrealistic to let their team search little by little. The area is too big, and if the team members disperse, it would be troublesome if they encounter danger.

While pondering, Mu Qiancheng’s gaze remained fixed on the map. Again and again, he wasn’t even sure how many times he had looked at it, yet he found nothing.

As for Chen Ming, he had already gone to tell the team about the wild man legend.

Finding nothing on the map, Mu Qiancheng decided to put it away. However, at that moment, a strange sound carried by the wind entered his ears, causing Mu Qiancheng’s expression to change as he said, "Everyone, be careful, something is coming towards us."

Upon hearing Mu Qiancheng’s words, the team instantly went on alert. They focused intently, holding their breath, waiting silently. Time ticked by, one minute, two minutes, three minutes.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed, yet there was no sign of anything. The group began to doubt Mu Qiancheng’s earlier words, thinking he might have misheard or been overly cautious.

Clearly, there was nothing there, making everyone worry unnecessarily. Thinking this way, some comrades immediately relaxed, about to ask Mu Qiancheng if he misheard, when suddenly a shadow darted across their line of sight.

"What was that?" The team was startled, searching in all directions for the fleeting shadow.

However, with over a dozen pairs of eyes scanning repeatedly, they found nothing.

"Could it have been some kind of animal?" someone murmured to themselves.

"Unlikely, that thing seemed quite tall. Although I didn’t see it clearly just now, it sort of looked like a person."
