Mu Fengchun's sudden words made everyone feel frightened, but rather than frightened, they were more filled with doubt and confusion.
"Mulao'er, could it be that you are too sensitive? We gathered the Five Elements Pearls just to resurrect Wu Fan. We have never been instructed by anyone." You Ya said.
"That's right, but don't you think that all these actions seem random, but in fact they are very logical?" Mu Fengchun said in a deep voice: "Because little friend Wufan is a person of the five elements, I want to resurrect him This is the only method we know now! And since we made up our minds to collect the five spirit beads, there seems to be no clue along the way, but in fact, at the critical moment, there are people who will give us clues!"
Youya is extremely smart. After listening to these explanations, she naturally understood the meaning of the words. Just as Mu Fengchun said, it seems that every time you reach a dead end, the next moment the fog barrier is lifted, the dark willows and flowers will suddenly become clear.
"Then what should we do? If we are really being plotted...will we continue to collect the five spirit beads or not?" Youya looked a little tangled and felt uneasy in her heart. If Mu Fengchun's guess was true, once they After gathering all the five spirit beads, I am afraid that the person behind the scenes will show up and snatch him away before he can save Wu Fan.
"Of course it has to continue... If little friend Wu Fan hadn't come to the rescue back then, I might still be trapped in Shichuan Kingdom in fear all day long, not knowing how to survive! Although I never do anything that I'm not sure of, this time Even if it is to repay the kindness of little friend Wu Fan, I will take a gamble! Even if I risk my life, I will not hesitate!"
While the few people were talking, they did not stop at their feet. It was difficult to go down the mountain in the dark, but they walked cautiously, and before dawn, they arrived in front of the main vein of the chaotic dragon elephant at the bottom of the mountain.
After walking all night and having to be on guard at all times, everyone was naturally exhausted both physically and mentally. At this time, the sky was getting brighter and the main road was in full view. They took a short break to recharge their batteries and prepare to deal with the crisis of the mysterious man in white that Qin Ming said would appear at some unknown time...
This main road was unobstructed, and the group of people walked faster than before. It didn't take long to travel several miles, and the scenery in front of them was a bit more lush, not as desolate as the place they came from.
"Little liar, look over there!" Although Yu Siling is not reliable, her eyes are good. As she was walking quickly, she noticed something strange around her and shouted hurriedly.
Mu Fengchun looked towards the direction that Yu Siling was pointing, and saw that the weeds there were pressing down on both sides. There were two sets of footprints, one shallow and one deep, on the ground. It was obvious that someone had passed by here before, and he felt something bad in his heart.
"Senior Mu, golden...golden aura!" Wu Hao looked at the two sets of footprints, his face suddenly startled. There was a very obvious golden aura in the slightly deeper footprints, which was much richer than what he had seen in Qingyang Mountain before. Presumably this footprint should not be left for too long.
"It seems... we are still a step late!" Mu Fengchun looked solemn, then sighed, pointed to the slightly shallower footprints, and said tentatively: "Little friend Wu Hao, what can you tell from these footprints? question?"
When Wu Hao heard this, he held his breath and concentrated. After thinking for a while, he stood up, shook his head and said: "Senior Mu, forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't see anything..."
Mu Fengchun nodded, feeling much more relaxed. He had always been worried that Yuan Hua was attracted to the man in white because of the attraction between the spirit beads. Since Wu Hao said that he had not found anything, which meant that the slightly shallower footprints did not contain the spirit beads, he was relieved. worry.
Although it is impossible to deduce more based on the footprints alone, its direction is completely based on the main line calculated by Mu Fengchun. Although it is not known why the person led Yuan Hua to the Moon Viewing Altar, it is very likely that it was the right direction. Unfavorable fate!
Although they only planned to intercept him halfway at first, they did not expect sudden changes! Now the longer the time drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. There is no way for a few people to think more about it. They can only bite the bullet and rush to the Moon Viewing Altar!
…
As we walked deeper, the two sets of footprints suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and there were no traces around. The edge of the open space in front of us was surrounded by mountains, and there was no other way out. Although the two men might have climbed up the rock, they looked up and saw that the surrounding mountains were smooth and steep, making it completely impossible to climb up, which really confused them.
After finally getting an idea, he lost his target again. Mu Fengchun was cursing and stamping his feet angrily.
"Then...Senior Mu...what should we do now?" Wu Hao asked in a low voice when he saw that Mu Fengchun was angry.
"Go back the way you came!" Mu Fengchun gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "I still don't believe I can't catch you today!"
The footprints he had left when he arrived had been trampled by everyone. Wu Hao thought that he might be able to save a lot of energy if he took a shortcut in the direction of the golden spiritual energy, so he concentrated on feeling the direction of the golden spiritual energy. However, no matter how he felt it, he could no longer feel it. It is impossible to feel the presence of any golden aura from the footprints.
Logically speaking, if they follow the footprints, the golden spiritual energy will only become stronger and stronger. Even if they come a step late, it will only dissipate slightly. It is completely impossible for them to disappear without a trace. Wu Hao thought that he was out of it. What's the problem? He quickly asked Mu Fengchun for help.
Mu Fengchun was stunned when he heard this. He lowered his head and looked at his feet. Then his face suddenly darkened and he whispered: "It's broken! We fell into someone else's trap!"
"Trap?" Everyone immediately became alert after hearing this, but no threat was found.
"Little liar, are you too sensitive?" Yu Siling imitated Youya's tone.
Mu Fengchun didn't have the intention to joke now. He pointed at the two sets of footprints at the end and said, "Look carefully at these footprints. Are there any differences?"
"Senior Mu, I think this footprint is exactly the same as what we saw for the first time, but for some reason... I can't feel a trace of golden spiritual energy at all..." Wu Hao frowned.
"The footprints are one deep and one shallow. The shallow ones are heavier in front and lighter in the back, and the deeper ones are heavier on both sides. There is indeed nothing unusual about it." You Ya observed particularly carefully.
Huang Qilin glanced at the ground inadvertently, frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Three sets of footprints?"
"Alas! Huang Mumu is still very observant! You are right, there are not two sets of footprints, but three sets! It's all because I was careless and was deceived!" Mu Fengchun said with a bitter smile.
He pointed to the slightly deeper set of footprints and explained: "Although this set of footprints looks correct, it was left by the person who followed after stepping on the footprints of the person who preceded it, so there are only traces of one person left. . However... although the size and strength of the two people's footprints are the same, and they imitate very similar, if you look closely, you will find something strange in them!"
"What's strange?"
"Mud!" Mu Fengchun said calmly: "If someone passes by this kind of dirt road, the mud will inevitably fly away, and some mud will be picked up by the force of walking and fall into the footprints. And this last person acted too cautiously, fearing that he would not be able to completely cover the people in front of him. The footprints move very slowly, so that there is no excess soil lifted up by the heels and falling into the footprints, which makes the slightly deeper footprints very clean, and even the marks on the soles are very clear!"
After hearing Mu Fengchun's explanation, the onlookers suddenly became enlightened. After observing before and after, they found that it was indeed the case.
"Senior! Let's get out of here quickly while no one is noticing!" Wu Hao said and was about to get up and leave.
"Haha! Although I don't know who and for what purpose, since they have gone through so much trouble to bring us here, I'm afraid it's not as simple as leaving easily." Following Mu Fengchun's wry laughter, only the sound of the entrance was heard. Suddenly a huge boulder fell, completely trapping them in the cliff.
Although this place is quite spacious, it is surrounded by towering cliffs as tall as clouds, and the cliffs are extremely smooth, making it difficult to exert any effort.
"Lolgan Hand! Can you break this boulder to let us out?" Yu Siling asked after searching for a week but couldn't find any way out, so she could only knock on the stone.
"Let me give it a try..."
"Little friend Wu Hao! Don't listen to her!" Seeing Wu Hao rolling up his sleeves and about to take action, Mu Fengchun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "The rock wall here seems to be hard, but in fact it is densely covered with cracks. If it is damaged, it will cause the mountain wall to collapse, and even if it looks like a strong dragon or a dragon, it will probably bury us alive under it in the end, turning it into a dragon burial ground!"
After hearing Mu Fengchun's words, Wu Hao quickly withdrew the lava technique. He was so nervous that he didn't even know how to place his hands. In the end, he had to stand stiffly with his arms folded.
…
"Wood Spirit! Get up! Wood Spirit! Live!"
Anyway, he was trapped, so Mu Fengchun simply tried the wood spirit technique, but no matter how he ordered, he didn't get any response even if he yelled at the end of his throat, and he was still a little downcast. Because the last few times he used the Wood Spirit were at the critical moment of life and death, he even thought about letting a few people attack him to activate the Wood Spirit technique, but when he spoke, he was afraid that the Wood Spirit Pearl would not be activated and would injure himself instead. Half dead, I simply stopped fussing and thought about whether there was any other feasible way.
"After struggling for a long time, I didn't even see a hair on the little bald donkey, but I was trapped in this damn place! It's really unlucky..." After thinking for a long time, Mu Fengchun couldn't think of any way to avoid disturbing the rock wall. He opened the gap and complained with a frown. I thought to myself that I had been choked by cold water along the way. Not long ago, I was almost buried in the underground chamber of Jinsha Temple, and now I was blocked by a cliff again.
"Ouch!" Thinking of this, Mu Fengchun suddenly slapped his head, and then his expression changed and he burst out laughing, making a few people around him look surprised.
"The little liar doesn't even have a fever, why is he so crazy all of a sudden?" Yu Siling touched Mu Fengchun's forehead and muttered.
"Haha, what do you think this is?" Mu Fengchun turned around mysteriously, only to see green light flashing on his back, and a green back armor quietly appeared.
