Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 68: End Title
Everyone suddenly slowed their breathing, and sank their heads into the tall weeds.
The terrain on both sides of this mountain trail is upward. If people on the trail do not deliberately search, it is difficult to find lurkers hidden in the heights.
Through the grass, Xia Fan could vaguely see the figure of two men-they were carrying oil lamps, walking in one after the other. There was neither a bow nor a hound behind him, but a long sword and axe were pinned to his waist. From this posture, we can know that the visitor is definitely not going up the mountain to hunt or gather medicine.
Judging from their skills, the two may have a little bit of work, but the level is estimated to be higher than that of ordinary people. He was vigilant, looking around, but the night was not only a cover for the prey, but also for the hunters. It would be too difficult to see through the vast darkness in the mountains with two pairs of eyes alone.
Just like that, they quickly passed the hidden location of Xia Fan and others, and walked deep into the mountain.
"Aren't we following?" Wang Renzhi couldn't help asking when the light of the oil lamp went further and further, until it disappeared.
"No, we don't follow, we just follow the guide." Xia Fan resolutely shook his head, "Professional work should be done by professional people. Now the other party has finally revealed its tail, in case they are disturbed. , I’m afraid that there will never be a second chance. We must guarantee a success."
"Professional work is done by professional people?" Wang Renzhi sipped his lips and tasted, "That's a good thing. I don't see that you are quite experienced in this kind of thing."
"It's not just a gentleman." Shangguan Cai added.
"That... I think Brother Xia is still quite upright." Only Wei Wushuang was always on Xia Fan's side.
Good brother, you deserve to be the one who accompany me through the exam.
Xia Fan estimated the time in his heart, and stood up about a quarter of an hour later, "It's almost done, do you remember the gestures I taught you?"
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
He took out the prepared oil lamp, lit it, and walked in the forefront.
The others followed.
Although it’s more concealed if you don’t turn on the lights, the speed will also be slowed down a lot. Besides, walking the mountain road in an environment where you can’t see your fingers is inherently dangerous—the uneven ground is easy to get on your feet and get caught in the shadows. The snakes and insects are also a threat.
This is also the reason why he decided to let Li take on the task of tracking.
With a middleman, they can extend the distance much longer. Even if the lights are in their hands and the noise is constant, they will not attract the attention of the target.
And the woods after dark, for the fox demon, just returned to the home court.
Let alone ordinary people, even an alchemist who has experienced many battles may not be able to detect that he is being targeted by a fox.
After a while, Xia Fan found a mark left by Li: She tied white cloth strips between the low branches to indicate the direction of the target.
"Go here."
It didn’t take long for them to find that they had deviated from the usual uphill road and were trapped in the dense forest. If there is no imprint guide, getting lost is just a matter of minutes.
At this time, there is no visible ground under the feet, it is full of thick fallen leaves and bushes. In order to make it easier to move, the group had to shorten the corners of the robe and use a wooden sword to remove the branches in front of them.
Xia Fan suddenly felt that it would be better to equip herself with an extra gold and iron sword.
"These two guys really have a problem." Wang Renzhi scolded, "What kind of horrible road I chose! I am afraid that no one has been here at all."
"Not necessarily." Shangguan Cai took off a broken short branch and placed it in front of her eyes and looked around carefully. "From the point of view of the fracture, someone came here a week ago, and there are still a lot of people... "
"What do many people say?"
"Aren't you claiming to be the top ten in the exam?"
"Then...the test is Alchemy, which has nothing to do with magic."
"It's alright." Shangguan Cai dropped the short branch. "It's okay to tell you. This is a common judgment method used by military scouts. If there is a small group of men and horses marching in the forest, the more the number, the more the branches are broken. The more frequent it is. Because people cannot always keep a straight line forward, you will inevitably encounter more things."
"So there is such a reason." Wang Renzhi was surprised, "Then...Have you killed anyone?"
Shangguan Cai cast a glance at him, "Of course."
Wang Renzhi couldn't help but was taken aback, "Really killed?"
"Is it normal for you to die and live on the battlefield? What's all the fuss about. You don't think that the border of Daqi is as stable as a mountain, do you?"
He couldn't help but walk two steps slowly, pulling away from the opponent.
Shangguan Cai couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean, did you never kill anyone?"
"Of course not!" Wang Renzhi retorted loudly, and then suddenly covered his mouth, "Why do you think so?"
"Of course you are the second son of the Wang family." She sneered, "There is nothing to hide, a place like the Wang family is so powerful, how can it be that the hands are covered with blood. Of course, I am not interested in blaming you, this world is the way it is. So."
"I admit that I have bullied others and provoke a lot of girls, but you said murder is something like--"
"Shh!" Xia Fan suddenly made a quiet gesture, and at the same time extinguished the oil lamp in his hand.
The three of them shut up and crouched down.
"What's the situation?"
"They stopped."
The mark on a tree became two white lines crossing.
This means that the target stops moving forward and hides in place.
"Oh, anti-reconnaissance?" Shangguan Cai raised her eyebrows. "These two people are also a bit experienced-but nothing more~ IndoMTL.com~ If you lose track of the target and move forward quickly, then Will be looked upright by the other party.
"Do you think they are not doing enough?"
"Of course, if it were me, one person would go forward and one person would stay behind. If there are many people, you can also conduct a reverse search. Unprofessional teams like ours are found to be inevitable."
Xia Fan was stunned, who just said that he was not a gentleman.
Clearly speaking, she is more professional than herself.
Another quarter of an hour later, the flash appeared again.
"Okay, let's continue. They started to move again."
just walking and stopping like this for about an hour, an old stone gate half-hidden between the mountain walls appeared in front of the four.
The inside of the stone gate is pitch black, like the mouth of a giant beast. Standing at the door, you can feel the gusts of wind blowing from the inside. Judging from the stone walls covered with cracks and moss, this building has existed for quite a long time.
"Around Gaoshan County...Is there still such a thing?" Wei Wushuang swallowed.
And Xia Fan's expression is solemn, the "grotto" that Hu Huairen said should be here. The answer he was looking for was why the frequency of evil and evil showed periodic changes, and it was also in it in all likelihood.
"There are only two results, either you can't get the answer, or the answer is difficult for you to accept. Either way, it's worse than not knowing."
Li's words came to my ears.
But in fact, he wanted to say that Li was wrong.
For him, not knowing is the worst result.
That means that he will be fooled by this world forever.
"Next, let us see what the magistrate wants to hide." Xia Fan raised the oil lamp and walked into the stone gate first.
