Chapter 9: The Third Line of Pursuits
Among the killers, the lone wolf stood up: "It's okay, it's better than now, spinning around like a swarm of headless flies, the catcher is coming, let's go, let's go to the place where the songworm said first." ”
"Brothers, let's go. ”
......
The killers didn't know that a day ago, the head of the Zhang family sent four good hands, plus three good hands from each of the six elders, Zhang Yanjie, the third elders, and the sixth elders led the team, and a search team of twenty-five people set off in a mighty way. But they soon lost their way, and by the tenth day, they had been wandering around Pingshan Lake for three days, but like the previous killer five, they were at a loss and had no clue, in their opinion, Xiuniang's mother and son seemed to have completely disappeared, and there was no trace at all.
However, the Zhang family team did not know that their actions had attracted the attention of another underground force, that is, the remnants of the Ma family! The Ma family used to be the overlord of the Pingyuan Gorge, and they had controlled the Pingyuan Gorge for three generations, and from the third generation onwards, they finally came out of the Dao powerhouse, and in a place like the Pingyuan Gorge, it was simply a desperate strength.
It's a pity that they are too inflated, and only a strong person who has entered the Tao has come out, and they began to be lawless and do whatever they want, not only in the fish and meat township, bullying the people, but also arrogantly suppressing other families, and finally forced out a Zhang Shaojie, swallowed the bitter fruit of losing the master and being driven out of his homeland.
However, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the descendants of the Ma family in the Plains Gorge are indeed gone, but the branches that are not in the Plains Gorge are all hidden, and the seven years of female ambush have made the Ma family help a big loss, and many of the good players who used to take refuge in the Ma family have sought another job. But the vitality of the Ma family has really recovered, after all, the three generations of the Ma family have controlled Pingyuan Gorge, and the heritage is not deep, although most of them have gone, but there are still some left, and these people are real diehards.
Coupled with the fact that the new generation has been given seven years of growth time, the Ma family has re-pulled out an elite team with the remnants of the branches, diehards and a new generation of young people as the backbone. Although the Ma family's accumulation over the years will not quickly pile up the Dao powerhouses, it is no problem to pile up a team composed of spiritual cultivators above level five.
So as soon as they heard that the Zhang family had sent a team composed of fifth-level and above experts, the Ma family immediately reacted and sent a seventh-grade leader to lead the team, bringing eight sixth-level experts to inquire about the news first, and a nine-person team composed of the Ma family's experts also set off.
This number is very particular, the Zhang family sent twenty-five people, the strength is unknown, the reason is unknown. The Ma family naturally couldn't come out of the nest, in order to find out what the Zhang family planned to do, the number of people naturally couldn't be too small, so they sent nine people, three people to form a team, advance in three ways, and could gather at any time. If the Zhang family is not grouped properly, they may be eaten a little bit, even if they are grouped properly, they are few and have strong motivation, and they can leave at any time if they want to.
In this way, the three teams of people all intervened in the matter, and Xiuniang and Zhang Xiaoheng inexplicably became the target of public criticism.
......
Twelve days have passed since the beginning of the escape, and the Killer Five have finally lost the trace of the mother and son again.
The Songworm's spirit worm floated in the air, a strange insect the size of a human head, looking like a large fly, but without wings. It can fly without wings, and if you look closely, the way it flies is purely floating. In front of the spirit insects, several strange insects that were several sizes smaller flew around, and their voices were also strange, some buzzing, some squeaking, and some chirping.
In the end, those strange insects flew away one after another, and Naruto clenched his fist and put away the spirit insects, which did not reach the level of initiation, and could not maintain the existence of the spirit for a long time.
"How's that? is there a direction?" asked the scholar Wang Ticket.
Songworm shook his head: "I can't find it, the range of the beast avoidance spirit incense ends here, lone wolf, civet, can your beast spirit body smell anything?"
The lone wolf also shook his head: "Not at all, even if you said the beast-avoiding spiritual incense, our spirit body has no reaction at all, neither annoying nor evading." Do you know what's going on?"
The scholar Wang Piao thought for a while and said, "Could it be that that woman is a spiritual material master herself?"
Naruto frowned, "Is this possible? she's just a woman." ”
Wang Piao said: "Think about it carefully, if it weren't for the fact that the mother and son had enough value, why did the head of the Zhang family want their lives, and the reward was quite low." ”
Naruto sneered, "For the sake of a spiritual material master, unless she has a complete inheritance, how can she be so valuable?"
Wang Ticket nodded: "So, there is another possibility, this mother and son have been preparing for a long time to escape, so there is more than one means." Even if we don't talk about the spirit itself, there are many ways to perceive our existence or change the way we hide it when we can't find it. ”
"Let's not talk about these methods, there is a simplest trick to make Lingxiang stop here. When the king said this, he kept silent.
The big fat who had never spoken among the five people said anxiously: "What way? Lao Wang, don't be like this all the time, eat half of what you say and vomit half of it!"
Wang Piao glanced at Da Fat lightly, and was not angry, and said calmly: "Hide on the spot." ”
"......" Wang Piao looked helplessly at the big fat who immediately began to look around: "I'm just saying this, there are songworms, who can hide it?
Moreover, if you haven't reached the level of entering the Dao or above, how can the invisibility technique be so easy to appear? If you really have a stealth technique, not to mention entering the Dao, at least a seventh-grade spiritual cultivator, such a person can deal with a dozen or so sixth-level people, and they can run away?
No matter how stupid the big fat is, he understands it, and the king ticket is just an analogy, so he scratches his head: "Isn't this what you said...... So you say, what now? I can't find anyone again. ”
Suddenly, the civet cat, who had been silent, spoke: "This is the path they should take." ”
The civet cat is a young man with a small age and sharp eyes, he was born in a family of hunters, because of a dispute with people when selling prey, he accidentally beat people to death, and since then he has embarked on the road of escape, fled to the Plains Gorge to incarnate the rivers and lakes spiritual cultivation. This person has a tough heart, he has never given up cultivation, now he is twenty-three years old, he has cultivated to the sixth level, if he can enter the seventh rank within a year, maybe there is a chance to enter the Tao before the age of thirty, and the Dragon Sect to obtain the status of a disciple of the Sword Outer Gate.
The lone wolf asked, "Oh, why?" Because of the spirit body of the same kind of beast, the lone wolf and the civet cat seem to have always had a good relationship, and the king ticket is too scholarly, the songworm is too gloomy, and the big fat is too stupid.
The civet replied, "A woman with a child, and a hidden beast all the way. It is said that the children are injured, and they cannot go up the tree, but they can walk on the tree, but they can't walk, they can't get into the grass, and it is inevitable that it will leave traces, so in fact, there are not many paths they can choose, except for the road we came on, only this meadow, and the right road over there. ”
Wang Piao nodded: "I understand, walk over the grass again, there is a stream, a woman with a child, it is impossible to walk by water, it is definitely not far." So, do you think they're going down the right path?"
Shaking his head, the civet said, "It's inaccessible here, have you ever wondered how this road came about?" ”
The king was shocked: "Could it be ......?"
"That's right. The civet nodded and stretched out his hand to point to a tree in front of him: "This road was not built by humans at all, it should be because many wild beasts, even demon beasts, passed by, so there is a road here." And this meadow should also be a place where wild beasts often haunt, they come here, walk the meadow is to drink water, and walk this way is to go back to the beast's den. ”
Everyone looked at the place where he pointed and saw that there were three paw prints engraved on the tree, which were not the paw prints of the mountain tiger, it must be some kind of demon beast, which was the mark of the territory!
The civet said: "So, we have two choices, whether they go by water, or go to the beast's den to become food. ”
"You're right, if it's a den over there, then they have a good chance of going by water. Wang Piao is as good as a stream, and he doesn't mind whether there is sarcasm in the words of the civet cat: "Civet, can you recognize what that paw print left behind?"
A solemn look appeared on the face of the civet: "That's the paw print of the swift tiger, there is a possibility of a demon beast among this tiger beast, it is smaller than the average tiger, and its agility is not inferior to that of the cheetah, but the claws are particularly hard, and this tiger is not a solitary tiger, but a tiger living in groups, not an ordinary beast at all." ”
"If they are targeted, let alone the mother and son, even if it is us, it is a very dangerous thing. The civet said solemnly: "They must have found the Xunbu Tiger, even if it is to avoid the beast spirit incense, they don't dare to put it in the beast's den in a grand manner, which will cause the beasts to be uneasy and make them more dangerous." So, they closed the spirit sachet here. ”
Wang Piao sighed: "Moreover, it is really powerful enough to calmly cover up the traces and leave, if they find the Xunbu Tiger Beast's den, in order to avoid the Xunbu Tiger, they took the waterway, it will be logical." ”
"Well, in that case. The lone wolf said, "Then let's go." ”
Again, the lone wolf spoke, and the final word was reached.
