"Then what do you mean by hiding in the woods and running away when you see us? Are you hiding from the light!?" Xue Pu continued to ask.
"I didn't want to disturb your enjoyment, so I left. Why not? But you came up and attacked me indiscriminately. What's going on?!" Xuequan said in response.
"Is that still my fault?" Xue Pu said with an angry smile.
"Of course, Xue Pu, you have to understand that although you are the baron's steward, I am also a retired member of the military. If I make any mistakes, the military will also hold you accountable!" Xue Quan took the opportunity to accuse.
"Well, of course I understand this, but don't be too proud of Xuequan. Now that the military is protecting you, I really can't do anything to you. But if the matter of the blood jade is finalized, then even if you are a military They probably won't be able to protect you, the retirees from Fang, so you'd better wish for good luck!" Xue Pu said harshly.
Because Xue Fan asked his confidants to inform Xue Quan about the blood jade as quickly as possible. Therefore, Xue Pu has not yet received the news that something has happened to the blood jade. Therefore, there is nothing that can be done about the blood jade at the moment. .
"You don't need to worry about this. My body is almost active. It's time to go back and rest. You should do whatever you should be busy with!" Xuequan knew that Xue Pu still didn't know what happened in Blood Slave City. Therefore, he said calmly to Xue Pu.
"Ha! I hope you can be so leisurely in the future!" Xue Pu said angrily.
"Then I'll lend you some good words!"
At this time, the members of the Baron Guard were following Xue Ming and surrounded him. After Xue Quan said these words, he retreated into the distance and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
Xue Pu watched the blood fountain go away, and stretched out his hand to stop Xue Ming's pursuit.
"You are no match for him, just let me go and meet up with Xue Ke!" After saying this, Xue Pu turned around and walked towards the edge of the pool.
When Xue Ming saw that Xue Pu had said this, he didn't ask who it was, so he took his brothers from the escort team and followed Xue Pu back.
…
At this time, the Blood Horse was moving towards the hidden cave.
Based on the current situation, it was the only place that I was familiar with and suitable for hiding.
However, his perception told him that the Bloodmen of the Baron Guard behind him were also approaching here.
"Should we expose it or not?" A thought arose in Xue Jun's mind.
The reason why he thinks so is that he wants to use the blood bats in the hidden cave and the mutated blood crocodile in the waters leading to the mysterious cave to cause more trouble or casualties to the Baron Guards.
Now Xuejun's heart is full of hatred for the Baron Guards.
It was their arrival that broke the tranquility of Rafa Village and cruelly separated him from his mother and son.
However, there is no turning back when the bow is fired. If they are led into a hidden cave, or even a mysterious cave, Xuejun's own way back will probably be blocked, and he will be forced into a desperate situation.
Although he has prepared a lot of food and drinking water in his storage space, which is enough to last him for a while, if he really wants to live in it, it is not enough, not to mention blood bats and mutant blood crocodiles. It may not be able to stop the Baron Guards.
Because among them, there is a Xuepu existence that even the village chief’s grandpa feels inferior to.
"What should we do?"
Xuejun was thinking as he ran.
At present, the blood horse's perception is spreading to all directions, so the range of detection is not as far as one-way detection.
"Um?"
The perception in front of the Blood Horse suddenly sent back information that a patrol of the Baron Guard appeared not far ahead and was heading towards the Blood Horse.
The baron escorts at the rear are also continuing to search here.
But at this time, the Blood Horse was still one kilometer away from the hidden cave.
"It seems that now we have to get through the water before they find us."
After making this plan, Xue Jun did not hesitate and immediately jumped into the pond next to him. He swam into the pond first and stayed away from the shore to reduce the chance of being discovered.
Xuejun held his breath and swam quickly in the pool, his senses reporting back the surrounding exploration situation in time.
…
Xueke led the Baron Guards to search the surroundings. After obtaining no abnormal results, he continued to let the Baron Guards quickly advance forward to search.
His intuition told him that the figure that his uncle chased would appear here. It would definitely not be too simple, but he had no clue as to the specific reason.
Not long after, Xuek saw a patrol of escorts appearing in front of him.
After quickly joining them, Xuek stepped forward and asked, "Can you find anything unusual?"
The patrol team leader replied: "We have been traveling all the way and everything is normal."
"Really not?" Xue Ke asked suspiciously.
"Really not!" the captain replied truthfully.
Xueke frowned and looked around.
When he saw the pool of water beside him, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be..."
At this moment, Xue Pu led Xue Ming and the members of the Baron Guard who were responsible for the pursuit caught up.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Xue Pu asked when he saw Xue Ke opening his mouth.
"Not yet, Chief Xuepu, have you caught up with that figure?"
Xue Ke came back to his senses and asked Xue Pu respectfully.
"Well, we caught him. It's a blood spring." Xue Pu felt that there was nothing to hide in this matter.
"Blood spring? Then he...is not good!!" Xue Ke first marveled at how it could be a blood spring, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something and immediately shouted.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xue Pu asked confused.
Xue Ming and the members of the escort team also looked at Xue Ke.
After Xue Ke calmed down, he said: "It's definitely not easy for the old man to appear here. Although we don't have many blood warriors in Rafa Village, there are still secret whistles. If he can come here without alerting the secret whistle, it must be There is a reason."
Xue Ke explained to them: "And he suddenly jumped out to attract our attention. This is not a very rational behavior. The reason why he did this..."
"Who is he covering for?" Before Xue Ke could finish speaking, Xue Pu also reacted and spoke first.
"Yes." Xueke nodded.
"As for the current situation, there should be only one Blood Man who can let the old man take cover." Blood Ke continued.
"Xuejun!?" Xue Ming said.
"This is the only answer I can think of at the moment." Xue Ke made it clear.
"I never expected that I would be tricked by that old boy from Xuequan!" Xue Pu said in anger.
"Then where is he? With so many bloods as yours, how could you let a child escape?" Xue Ming pointed out.
Xue Ke frowned. He knew that when Xue Ming said this, he was also accusing him of not doing things well in disguise.
Xue Pu also heard the implication of Xue Ming, but he was also very angry that Xue Ke was useless.
Because, if Xueke's guess is true, then with the number of baron guards they have left here, is it so difficult to catch a child with no strength? If you can't catch it, that's a joke!
Xue Ke saw something wrong in his uncle's eyes, and guessed what he was thinking, and immediately defended: "We have searched all around here, and there is indeed no trace of the Blood Man. If it is really that little bastard, I just thought of it There is a possibility, but I just don’t know if he can do it.”
"What is it?" Xue Pu still somewhat approved of his nephew's intuition.
"It's in this pool of water!" Xueke said.
"That kid is in the water? Impossible!" Xue Ming disagreed with Xue Ke's guess.
"Nothing is impossible. That little bastard can swim. I heard our Xue Feng talk about it." Xue Ke affirmed.
"If he can swim, there is still some possibility." Xue Pu agreed.
Seeing that Xue Pu recognized Xue Ke, Xue Ming didn't say much.
"Ask all the members of the escort team who can swim to search the pool for me to see if the kid is still there!" Xue Pu immediately ordered Xue Ming, because he knew that Xue Ming could swim.
"Yes!" Xue Ming took the order to organize all the members of the escort team who could swim, and then took them into the water to look for traces of Xue Jun.
When Xue Pu saw that Xue Ming and the others were all in the water, he turned to Xue Ke and said, "Xue Ke, take the remaining team members who can't swim and continue forward to see if that kid can escape on the shore ahead!"
"Yes, General Manager Xue Pu, I'll go right away!" After Xue Ke finished speaking, he led the team forward.
…
The blood horse swam very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the boulder platform.
He didn't dare to stay on the platform for fear of being exposed, so he quickly got into the waterfall and climbed towards the hidden cave.
Because of the increased combat power level, the blood horse's climbing speed has accelerated a lot this time.
After entering the cave entrance, Xuejun quickly changed into dry clothes, and then immediately turned on the function of the protective jade pendant to mask the life breath, and headed into the cave.
Xuejun uses his senses to constantly explore the situation in front of the cave and behind him to prevent emergencies.
…
“There’s a discovery here!”
Xue Ke searched along the shore. After walking for a while, he noticed a huge stone platform in the pond. Then, he asked Xue Ming in the water to lead the team to check it out.
On the boulder platform, Xue Ming discovered the traces of water left by Xue Jun, and followed these traces to the waterfall.
Not long after, Xuepu and Xueke, as well as the eighty members of the Baron Guard currently responsible for searching in the small area of Waterfall Mountain, stood on the huge stone platform.
The leader Xue Pu, Xue Ke and Xue Ming were observing everywhere on the boulder platform.
"Have you searched this platform before?" Xue Pu asked.
"After searching, there is nothing special except for some boulders. However, there are many irregular small holes on some boulders, but it is not clear how they were caused." Xue Ming said truthfully.
"Is it a small hole? Is it caused by some martial arts practice?" Xue Ke asked.
Xue Pu also approached the boulders of honeycomb briquettes and observed them, then said: "It's not caused by martial arts, and I can't see anything at the moment, but it's definitely not a natural formation."
