"What's wrong?"

Stepping on the back branch, Chiba stopped beside Hirohiko and asked again.

"Wait, Chiba, I'll take a look at ......"

At this time, Hirohiko frowned, stretched out his hand and stroked the unusually thick branch a few times, almost holding his breath.

Definitely...... Something's up!

In this case, there is no need to think about it, Hirohiko must have discovered something, and now that they are in pursuit, if they find something that they want to stop, something that Hirohiko wants to stop and investigate carefully, there must be something about their current target, Tutai.

Obviously, the footprints left by the earth platform have changed.

And looking at Hirohiko's serious appearance, this kind of change is probably not a good change.

Could it be that the traces are gone?

Looking at Hirohiko's appearance, Chiba's eyes wrinkled suddenly, and he thought of a situation that he absolutely did not want to see.

Now they don't know the destination of Tutai, they don't know his specific direction, and they are still in such a large forest that is easy to get lost, he can easily change direction and get rid of them, if he loses his traces and can't track them, then to find him, there are many variables, and the success rate of chasing and killing can be said to plummet.

I'm afraid, they can only choose to give up tracking, and send a signal to Yukina, find a place to gather, and continue to carry out the fate change plan at the risk of the increase in variables that the intelligence is known to Yun Yin.

In other words, they have spent so much effort, from the beginning of the battle between the two forces of Iwain and Yunyin, they have done useless work now, wasted their physical strength and chakra, and even lost some quite serious injuries.

That is to say, their annihilation plan has completely failed, and they will bear the consequences of all the failure of the plan that they do not want to see, which not only wastes time, but also further leads to the incompleteness of the physical state, coupled with the various risks of the intelligence being known by Yun Yin, the success rate of the plan to change fate is also sharply reduced.

It's better to choose to leave at that time!

This trace, although very shallow, is also well disguised...... But, that's right, it's a footprint!

Hirohiko's eyes seemed to turn slightly, and the dark green marks on the branches between his fingers and under the palms of his hands were faintly visible.

This trace, if it weren't for a closer look, no, if it weren't for his insight ability to write the wheel of the three-hooked jade, if it were other ninjas, even if it was a senior tracking ninja, most of them would have to ignore the past.

This trace has almost been integrated into the environment on this trunk, the trunk is in the shade, the branches have shown a unique dark color in the shade, and there are some bryophytes that like to grow in dark and damp places, and even mushrooms have grown on the branches and trunks. It presents a dark or dark green environmental base color, and this pale green, or dark green, can be said to be out of place at all.

It can't be compared to the obvious footprints of the broken branches at Chiba's feet now.

However, it was indeed a footprint, or someone stepped on it.

And this pale green or dark green is obviously the same color as the traces left before the earthen platform.

It's a footprint, for sure!

Like the footprints of the broken branches, they are the footprints of the left foot.

Other words......

Thinking of this, Hirohiko had completely figured it out, and he also judged the situation from the traces, he took a slight breath, looked at Chiba who frowned, and said, "Here, maybe that Yun Yin has set up a suspicious array." ”

"Suspicious?"

Hearing this, Chiba was stunned, but her heart was relieved for no reason.

It's not that the traces are gone.

"Well, apart from here, here, at the root of the branches, there is a footprint, well hidden. ”

As he spoke, Hirohiko pointed to the broken footprints at Chiba's feet, and then to the very shallow dark green in front of his own feet leaning against the trunk of the tree, which was only slightly brighter than the dark tone at the junction of the trunk and the branches.

Is this dark green a footprint?

Looking in the direction Hirohiko was pointing, Chiba squatted down and took a closer look, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Of course, he didn't doubt Hirohiko, he believed in Hirohiko's tracking ability, but this dark green color was too well hidden, and he couldn't tell that it was a footprint at all.

So I was a little surprised.

"The footprints of the clouds?"

Thinking about it, Chiba said in his mouth.

"Yes, and it's both left foot, and it's certain that two people came out of this branch. ”

Hirohiko nodded.

"In other words, here, that Yun Yin has separated into an entity clone like a shadow clone, so the suspicion array is there, right?"

Chiba reacted quickly and said without thinking.

It's a good idea to use a physical clone to forge a footprint to confuse the person tracking it, in a hurry.

It's also something that the captain of a stealth mission team can think of!

And in his heart, such a thought flashed through him, and this situation is very reasonable.

"Yes, then, he went in two directions, one over there......" Hirohiko nodded, pointing diagonally to his right, then pointing in the direction they were heading before, and said, "There is another, it's over there." ”

In other words, the main body and the physical clone of the Tutai, one went to the direction we were originally heading, that is, the direction he had been running in a straight line, and the other went to our right, diagonally forward, which happened to be a roundabout direction.

Looking at the distribution of footprints, I am afraid that he split the physical clone in the air when the previous branch jumped up, and then stepped on the location of the two footprints at the same time or one after the other, starting from this branch, one forward, one diagonally to the right......

So it seems that his intentions ......

Thinking of this, Chiba frowned and said, "What do you mean......"

"His body may have gone from the right side, but it could also be his trap, and his obvious footprints are the direction in which his body goes, whether it is in front of him or diagonally to the right......"

Hearing Chiba's words, Hirohiko frowned, a trace of helplessness flashed on Poker's face, and he spoke.

"It's very likely that both. ”

Chiba interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, and he knew exactly what Hirohiko was going to say next.

"That's right, that's his suspicion. Moreover, I couldn't see much more from these footprints, except that he separated into physical clones, one went forward, and the other went to our right side. ”

Hirohiko said helplessly: "And if it's an entity clone, no matter which direction we go, there will be a row of footprints waiting for us to follow, and I can't find out in time whether the footprints are ontological or ......."

In a hurry, this trick is also very clever!

And in his helpless heart, he couldn't help but flash such a thought, obviously that Yun Yin separated the entity clone at this time, which was a very clever move.

But at this moment, his thoughts flashed, and before he finished speaking, Chiba stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

"No, no, let's go the same way!"
