Dusk is approaching, and on the west side of the fertile soil of Kawahira, the orange-red sunset slowly sinks toward the horizon. Lu Ping and his group were walking among a small forest, their stomachs making a series of rumbling sounds.
The four of them stopped, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked around.
"Just say it when you're hungry, why do you have to hold on?" Mo Lin said.
"There seems to be nothing to eat here." Fang Yizhu said after looking around.
They were preying on random prey along the way. Because we were walking in inaccessible mountains and wild areas, we didn’t feel any inconvenience. But once they entered the realm of Chuanping, this method of foraging became awkward. Chuanping District has been developed and there is not much wild land left. People are widely and densely distributed, leaving animals with an extreme lack of living space. At present, the few people hiding and walking are only in a small forest beside the road. The trees are neatly arranged and it can be seen that they are artificially cultivated. There is no game living in this forest.
"Look there." Lu Ping pointed with his hand. On the treetops above, several unknown birds rested on the branches, which Lu Ping regarded as a satisfying meal, and were already eager to try it.
"Don't be hasty, don't be hasty. If you punch out, people will be paying attention for miles around." Mo Lin hurriedly pressed down Lu Ping's outstretched hand.
"I'll do it." Fang Yizhu said, getting closer and looking at the branches. Suddenly he raised his hand and made four consecutive sounds. Four birds had fallen down, and the remaining two had fallen. Three of them flew away in fright, but it wasn't much of a movement.
"Not bad. Just one for each person." Mo Lin praised, ran forward and picked up the four birds.
"Let's find some space to tidy up." Fang Yizhu said.
"There is the sound of water here." Lu Ping pointed in the direction.
"Go over and take a look." Fang Yizhu said and went in the direction pointed by Lu Ping, and the other three followed. They had long since stopped paying attention to where the three or two birds that they had scared away when hunting birds flew.
The four of them walked to the edge of the grove, and sure enough they saw a creek that was neither wide nor deep running through the edge of the woods. Mo Lin stopped the three people who were about to go out. He looked at the area with a professional look and observed the area for a few minutes before turning around and nodding towards the three people.
No one laughed at Mo Lin for being careful. When they came out of the woods, they immediately started to divide their work: Lu Ping collected materials to build a fire, Fang Yizhu took care of a few birds, Ling Ziyan went to the stream to get water, and Mo Lin continued to watch the left and right with vigilance—— A village could be seen upstream of the stream, but it was quite far away. Molin paid attention to it for a long time, but never saw anyone coming this way.
After a while, everyone had finished their work. The plucked and washed birds had been dressed and put on the fire. The smell of meat was wafting. Mo Lin finally relaxed some of his vigilance and came over while swallowing his saliva.
"I bet you are looking at which one is the biggest right now." Fang Yizhu said.
"Shit." Molin dismissed it, "Are you sure you can make it? You have to weigh it with your hands. The portion is the most reliable."
"Then do you think which one is heavier, bones or meat?" Fang Yizhu said.
"I won't guess! I won't bet with you! You can go wash your hands." Mo Lin looked fed up.
Ling Ziyan, who was cooking the bird meat, lowered her head and smiled silently. Fang Yizhu, helpless, just walked towards the river, only to see Lu Ping, who had just washed his hands, standing by the river, staring at the clear stream in a daze.
"What are you looking at?" Fang Yizhu immediately came up. Although chatting with Lu Ping would be boring, it was still better than Mo Lin's current attitude towards him.
"There seems to be someone under the water." Lu Ping said, pointing to the water surface he was looking at.
"Are you kidding?" Fang Yizhu didn't immediately become alert. The stream was too shallow, probably no bigger than a person's ankles. The sand and rocks at the bottom were visible at a glance, not even a single small fish. Anyone? Where do people hide?
It is precisely because of this that Lu Ping himself is not sure. But with his hearing, he could really sense the sound of the soul coming from the bottom of the water, which had a similar rhythm to the flow of the stream.
Fang Yizhu immediately became serious after seeing the uncertain but definitely not childish expression on Lu Ping's face. He is much more knowledgeable than Lu Ping. It seems impossible to hide in such shallow water, but cultivators have all kinds of superpowers. Even the Zhou family of Nantian Academy, who have extensive knowledge of the past and present, dare not say that they have seen all the superpowers in the world. Is there really one? It is not known what means can be used to hide under the shallow cement sand.
"Are you sure you sensed it? Are you still there now?" Fang Yizhu said hurriedly.
Lu Ping nodded.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's just fight!" Fang Yizhu yelled while rushing backwards.
Lu Ping raised his fist and was about to swing it out, but suddenly stopped mid-air.
"What's going on?" Fang Yizhu, who was already a few places behind him, asked hurriedly, and Mo Lin and Ling Ziyan hurriedly came over.
"Gone again." Lu Ping turned around and said in confusion.
Several people looked at each other, and suddenly, Mo Lin quickly swept back with an arrow.
how? The other three people were all shocked. Then they saw that Mo Lin had already turned around and rushed towards the fire to catch the largest bird among them. At the same time, he turned around and looked at the three of them very warily. One glance.
"Is Lu Ping such a boring person?" Fang Yizhu looked helpless.
"Lu Ping can't, but you are very suspicious." Mo Lin had already grabbed the largest one in his hand, and then said with some relief.
Fang Yizhu ignored him and turned to look at Lu Ping, who shook his head when he saw him. He made several more confirmations, and found out that he could no longer detect the sound of the power of soul at the bottom of the river.
"Just in case, it's better to leave here quickly." Fang Yizhu said, and Lu Ping nodded.
"Are you two really fake?" Mo Lin had already eaten at this time. Looking at the expressions of the two of them, he finally believed that this was not a trick to compete for food, but that there was a real situation.
"Eat while walking." Fang Yizhu said. Ling Ziyan had already brought the other three birds over and gave one to each of Lu Ping and Fang Yizhu, but she kept the smallest one for herself.
"Look at me." Fang Yizhu glared at Mo Lin.
"After the bird is cooked, it seems to have become very small..." Mo Lin had already eaten three times, five times, five times and two times, and was complaining about her unfilled stomach.
No one paid attention to him. The three of them were already eating and walking back into the woods. Mo Lin, who was left behind, was not a blind foodie. He quickly dealt with all the traces left by the four here. After a while, he followed into the woods.
Night fell unknowingly, and it was especially dark in the woods. It was quiet all around. The four of them were walking in the forest, and the sound of broken branches and dead leaves suddenly became noisy.
This sound made Mo Lin feel very uneasy, and he sped up a few steps and rushed to the side of several people.
"What happened before?" he asked.
"I heard powerful voices at the bottom of the river at first, but then they suddenly disappeared," Lu Ping said. He no longer doubted that there was someone. If there was someone, how could he disappear so cleanly and completely in that moment?
"What do you think it is?" Mo Lin asked Xiang Fang Yizhu. Although he despised this person as a person, after dealing with him for this period of time, he knew that Fang Yizhu still had some knowledge and experience.
"I think some kind of supernatural power must have fallen there." Fang Yizhu said.
"It's such a coincidence that the customization ended just after it was discovered?" Molin said. The only ones that can keep the power of soul running after breaking away from the control of the cultivator are customized abilities.
"If it's not a coincidence, then it's troublesome. It means that the other party noticed the exposure and took the initiative to stop the superpower." Fang Yizhu said, "We only came up with that place on the spur of the moment. It is impossible for the other party to be there in advance. Arrangement. Therefore, our actions must have been watched early on!"
Although he likes to argue with Fang Yizhu, so he is quite confident in his own ability, but Mo Lin has to admit that Fang Yizhu's analysis is very reasonable. It is very possible that the other party discovered their whereabouts despite his careful vigilance.
Who is he?
What means were used?
Where are you now?
Mo Lin looked around and saw only the mottled tree shadows in the darkness.
