Chapter 68: Tail title

Everyone suddenly slowed their breathing, and sank their heads into the tall

weeds.

The terrain on both sides of this mountain road is upward. If people in the

road do not deliberately search, it is difficult to find the 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 another. There was neither a bow nor

a hound behind him, but a 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.

From the point of view of skill, the two may have a little bit of effort, but

the level is estimated to be higher than ordinary people. He was vigilant and

kept 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 darkness in the

mountains with two pairs of eyes alone.

Just like this, 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, just follow the leader." Xia Fan resolutely shook his

head. "Professional work should be done by professional people. Now the other

party has finally revealed his tail. In case they are disturbed, I am afraid

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 it. "That's a good thing. I don't see that you are quite

experienced in such things as the end."

"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 there, 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.

Others followed.

Although it is more concealed if the lights are not turned on, the speed of

progress will also be slowed down a lot. Moreover, walking a mountain road in

an environment where you can't see your fingers is dangerous-uneven ground is

easy to lick your feet, and snakes and worms entangled in the dark. It is also

a threat.

This is also the reason why he decided to let Li undertake 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.

Not to mention 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 was no visible ground under the feet, it was 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 pull away 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 roads are you choosing! I'm afraid 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 at it carefully. "From the perspective 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 a top ten exam?"

"Then...the test is Alchemy, which has nothing to do with magic."

"Okay." 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 advancing in the forest, the more the number of people, the

number of times the branches are broken. The more often. Because people cannot

always keep a straight line forward, you will inevitably encounter more things

on your left and right."

"So there is such a reason." Wang Renzhi was surprised, "Then...Have you

killed anyone?"

Shangguan Cai glanced 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 the border of Daqi is as stable as a mountain, do you?"

He couldn't help but walk two steps slowly, and pulled a little distance from

the opponent.

Shangguan Cai couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean? Could it be that you

haven't killed anyone?"

"Of course not!" Wang Renzhi retorted loudly, and then slammed his mouth, "Why

do you think so?"

"Naturally, 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 that there is no

blood on both hands. Of course, I am not interested in blaming you. This is

the case in this world. "

"I admit that I have bullied others and provoke a lot of girls, but you said

killing people—"

"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 that's all. U U Reading

If you rush forward because you lose your tracking target at this time, you

will be seen by the opponent.

"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 too 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 around 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 looked solemn, the "grotto" Hu Huairen said should be here. The

answer he was looking for was why the frequency of evil and scourges showed

periodic changes, and it was also included in all likelihood.

"There are only two kinds of results, either you can't get the answer, or you

can't accept the answer. 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.
