Because he was injured, simply rushing on the road was very stressful for Li Yi.
He could only move slowly, while carefully observing his surroundings.
After all, he had known nothing about the neighborhood since he left home.
Fortunately, this place is not too far from Maple Leaf County. If we walk in a straight line, it is only a few kilometers away.
Although he was unlikely to walk in a straight line and would try to take more remote paths to avoid being noticed, he didn't expect it.
He wasn't the only one with this idea.
The moment he got off the car and started moving forward, nobles from all directions began to move towards Maple Leaf County.
And his location happened to be the only way for the Frankie family to pass.
It should be said that the Sulota family is indeed very intimidating to these noble allies.
Even when they knew that Ying had left Sulota's house, these people did not dare to take the road unscrupulously.
Instead, they all chose the more remote paths to move forward.
If Li Yi had known that this was the case, he would probably have chosen the high road without hesitation.
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
By the time I noticed the sound of horse hooves in the distance, it was already too late to avoid it.
A menacing group of men and horses loomed in the jungle, and soon appeared on the path Li Yi was walking on.
The two sides met just like that.
And at the moment they met, both parties stopped in unison.
Li Yi really didn't expect it.
Even though I was walking on such a remote road, I still encountered such a group of people.
The team from the Fo Langji family were full of vigilance.
Because they think so too.
I've just walked along the path, can I still meet people?
What's going on with this guy?
There was an awkward and vigilant atmosphere on the field for a moment.
The embarrassment belongs to Li Yi, and the vigilance belongs to the people on the opposite side.
In the end, it was Li Yi who broke the silence first.
After all, it seems that the two sides are standing and confronting each other without any embarrassment.
"You...are you going to Maple Leaf County?"
With just one sentence, the Franji family on the opposite side immediately felt like a formidable enemy.
Almost the moment he finished speaking, Li Yi heard an unclear sound of a machine being pulled from behind the carriage.
It was a long-range weapon named after the family - the Fo Lang Machine Crossbow.
It is an automatic crossbow that can fire continuously.
It has strong lethality in short and medium distance encounters.
This voice made Li Yi feel uneasy. Fortunately, he had already covered his face tightly to ensure that no one would see it.
Therefore, even if the expression on his face changes, it can be guaranteed that the other party will not see any flaws.
After calming down for a while, Li Yi's voice seemed so calm as he explained.
"Don't be nervous. I'm a mountaineer nearby. If you need directions, I can help."
Having said this, he glanced around and said.
"But it seems that you are well prepared, so just pretend that I don't exist."
After saying this, he had no intention of leaving, but stood there waiting for the other party's response.
His move actually made the people of the Franji family who were originally wary feel a little more at ease.
In addition, the man in front of me is indeed dressed as a mountain man who walks in the mountains all year round.
The mountains and forests near Maple Leaf County are densely wooded, overgrown with weeds, and full of wild beasts and various insects. It would have been easy for someone to be accidentally bitten if he hadn't been dressed as fully armed as the man in front of him.
Thinking of this, the nervous look on the leader's face relaxed.
After carefully looking at the person opposite, they were sure that the other person did not recognize them, and then nodded and motioned for everyone to put down their weapons.
"It's okay, we're leaving now."
After saying this obviously perfunctory statement, he turned around and signaled to everyone, ignoring Li Yi, and the group left in a grand manner.
When the sound of horse hooves gradually became quieter, Li Yi's expression suddenly changed. If he was not injured, it would be best to leave as soon as possible.
After all, no one knows whether those people will suddenly change their minds and come back to kill him.
But the injuries on his body meant that he couldn't run too fast.
Anyway, it is bound to be impossible to outrun the horse.
So Li Yi made an extremely correct decision.
He turned over and jumped directly into the nearby ditch.
It was a huge crack between the mountains. I don't know if it was formed naturally or for some other reason.
Because the environment here is humid and the temperature is relatively high, there are dense jungle weeds nearby, the kind that are as tall as two people. As long as you dig in, you are guaranteed to find them.
Of course, Li Yi also took certain risks.
Because no one knows how deep the trench is.
Some of them look bottomless, but if you really jump in, you will find that no one is lying deep.
And some that seem to be able to see the bottom at a glance, but when you jump in, you will find yourself falling rapidly.
That's a big deal!
Fortunately, Li Yi was quite lucky. He jumped into a nearby ditch and soon touched the solid bottom of the ditch.
This made him feel at ease all of a sudden.
He adjusted his posture, held his breath, and completely submerged his body into the ditch grass. Ignoring the itching on the weeds and the mosquitoes that kept burrowing into his arms, he began to wait patiently.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard again not far away.
Compared to before, there were obviously fewer people coming this time.
It may be that the members of the Franji family believe that it does not take too many people to silence someone.
He's just an ordinary mountain man. It doesn't take many people to know about him.
In fact, the act of going and returning this time was just the whim of the leader Fo Langji.
That is a person who has strong confidence in his own ideas.
Curtis was initially disapproving of Li Yi's move.
Because Li Yi's outfit was disguised according to his suggestion.
He didn't think there would be any flaws in it.
And the expression on that person's face clearly showed that he believed this statement.
Until the sound of horse hooves sounded unbridled again, the sound of trampling hit Curtis in the face like a slap in the face, making him feel a little embarrassed.
The sound didn't stop at all, and went straight into the distance.
It seemed that they didn't believe that the "mountain people" they met just now dared to stay where they were.
However, this situation did not last long, and Li Yi had no intention of taking the opportunity to escape immediately, but maintained his current posture.
It wasn't until almost an hour later that the sound of horse hooves was heard again from the direction he came from!
But this time, it was accompanied by the discussion of the pursuing duo.
"Hey, tell me, is this a ghost? The person obviously didn't go far, why can't we find him?"
"How do I know how to do this? But let's leave it to the boss to deal with the headache!"
"But we didn't find anyone!"
"...That's not simple. Just say that the person has been killed."
"Wait a minute."
When they got nearby, the man who had previously answered suddenly said.
It can be heard that the man's voice is very close, because the two of them barely cover up.
Li Yi could even hear the breathing of the horses close at hand.
"You actually got it right! These people actually come back again and again."
Curtis looked a little surprised. He didn't understand what went wrong.
Obviously the outfit he suggested was perfect.
Li Yi ignored him, but tried his best to hold his breath while raising his ears to listen for the sound.
At this time one of them said.
"What are you looking for? Wait, you didn't think that the person just now would be hiding around here, did you?"
"I can't tell for sure, and isn't that person's clothing suitable for walking in the grass?"
The other person answered while rummaging through the nearby grass, making a rustling sound.
"I don't think it's possible. Don't look at what's around here. The ground is cracking!"
Upon hearing this, the man's rummaging stopped.
"...That's right. No normal person would choose to hide in a place like this. But where did the people go?"
"I guess it's not the direction we came from, right?"
Yes, I am heading in the same direction as you.
Li Yi replied in his heart, while also thinking about another thing about the other party's mobile phone.
Earthquake? What is that?
It didn't take long for him to realize what the "earth cracking" the other party was talking about was.
