"Then, what is that..."
Although the two strange hand bone worms had been eliminated by Lu Jing and Xia Huai, Li Zongjie's heart was still pounding. It took him a while to speak again and asked in a trembling voice.
"Well... you can think of it as a ferocious beast that is unique to this place," Lu Jing said, "but you don't have to worry too much, their number is very small, and it will be difficult for you to encounter them again in the future. .”
Li Zongjie's eyes widened. Although he had always lived in the countryside and had never seen much of the world, he knew that Lu Jing was talking nonsense.
What kind of wild beast could grow into such a terrifying shape, and even get into a person's stomach, then break open and come out.
Having said this, Li Zongjie looked at his two fellow countrymen again.
And his second uncle Li Fu was already checking the bodies of the two of them. After a moment, he shook his head with a sad look on his face.
Li Zongjie was not surprised by this result, because no one could survive after his stomach was opened, not to mention that he had just taken a look and found that the stomachs of the eight-fingered man and the white-haired old man were already empty. All the organs and intestines were gone, eaten away by the hand bone worms.
"My condolences." Lu Jing also sighed.
This matter tonight was obviously directed at them, and Li Fu and others were the ones affected.
The other party knew that Lu Jing and Xia Huai were escorting the black knife, and they must be very vigilant, so they did not let the hand bone insects attack directly, but hid in the group of herb collectors.
And this group of herb collectors are all real herb collectors.
Even with Lu Jing's eyesight, he couldn't find anything wrong with them. When he and Xia Huai relaxed their vigilance in the middle of the night, those hand bone worms would sneak out from the stomachs of the eight-fingered man and the white-haired old man. It has the effect of taking the enemy off guard.
Although in terms of the final result, it is no different from going up and killing someone directly.
With red eyes, Li Fu hastily wrapped the bodies of the two fellow villagers in straw mats.
He didn't plan to take the two of them back, not because he thought the bodies were too heavy to carry, but mainly because the state of death was really too tragic, and he couldn't bear to let their families see them and be further stimulated.
So I agreed with my nephew and planned to go back and claim that I was collecting medicine when I slipped and fell off a cliff.
He saw that Li Zongjie seemed to have a lot of questions, and wanted to ask Lu and Xia again, but he took the initiative to stop the latter and advised, "Zongjie, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. Since Xia doesn’t want to say anything, they must have their intentions.”
Li Zongjie had always listened to Li Fu's words. He knew that he could survive tonight. First, he relied on Lu and Xia, and secondly, he relied on his second uncle. If the latter hadn't blocked his mouth in time, the bone worm in his hand would probably have died. I don't mind getting rid of him first, and then causing trouble for Lu Jing and Xia Huai.
So he stopped pestering Lu Jing.
Seeing that the heavy rain outside was getting lighter and lighter, Lu Jing and Xia Huai packed their bags and prepared to continue on their way.
But before going out, Lu Jing stopped again and called Li Zongjie over, "If you want to practice martial arts in the future, you can go to Qinglong Mountain in Ju County, Yuzhou and find a guy named Ge Ping. Well, just follow He said I asked you to come."
"My dear friend, you are..."
"Lu Jing, Wujiang Lu Jing."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he ignored the shocked uncle and nephew Li Fu and walked out of the temple gate with Xia Huai.
The two of them didn't wait for daylight and continued to move forward under the cover of night. However, this time Lu Jing did not take the lonely road and instead rushed towards the nearest county town.
The dry food they had on them had all been used up in the mountain temple and needed to be replenished. In addition, they had been traveling in the wild these days and had not had much rest or hot baths.
Although with their martial arts skills, they would not be bothered by this kind of thing.
But Lu Jing didn't want to work too hard. Of course, the most important thing was that his previous plan didn't work. They were careful enough, but they were still found easily. In this case, why did they still go into the mountains?
"You said Mr. Ji's people have a way to track us?"
Xia Huai said while having breakfast with Lu Jing in the restaurant.
Lu Dingding nodded, "That guy can travel in a fugue, but it's not yet the time for him to travel in a fugue, so I'm more inclined to think that he found us by some other means."
"What means?"
"Well, first of all, it is of course some strange or strange object with positioning function. If that is the case, then it will be useless no matter where we hide, but I personally think this possibility is very small.
"Because Shao Jian Guo secretly sent his henchmen to bring us the knife. Very few people know that the knife is in our hands."
"rational."
"The greater possibility is that there is something on us that they can track." Lu Jing picked up a small steamed bun and continued.
Xia Huai thought for a while, "But most of the things we carry are ours, so there should be no problem."
"Yes, so there are only two things that are really suspicious."
Xia Huai quietly waited for Lu Jing's next words.
"First, it's the knife itself. This is also the thing I think is most likely to be tracked." Lu Jing said.
"I got this knife from a guy named Ruan. He is a descendant of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace. When I first met him, he deceived a group of demons into Xiayi County and planned to use them to Sword refining.
"At first I thought Mr. Ji gave him this knife simply to win over him. After all, Mr. Ji is rebelling now and would definitely like to have as many allies as possible. If he can't win over the righteous way, he will of course turn to the evil way. On the head.
"However, later I heard that this sword was stolen in Sitianjian, and I realized that Mr. Ji also valued this sword very much. Maybe he lent it to Ruan just to let the descendants of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace help him refine the sword and make it perfect. No matter how much you take it for yourself, you can avoid getting your hands dirty.
"In this case, of course he is also very likely to have some tricks on this knife. How can he find this knife so that it will not be hidden by Ruan in the future."
"Your speculation is indeed the most likely." Xia Huai also said. After a pause, she asked again, "Is there another possibility?"
"Um?"
"You just said there are two things."
"Hmm... There is also the possibility that someone has tampered with the paper frog." Lu Jing spread his hands, "These are the only two things on us that came from outside."
"But doesn't that paper frog belong to Shaojian Guo?"
"I'm talking about Young Supervisor Guo." Lu Jing said, "Maybe it's because I'm more accustomed to judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. Anyway, when I first received this job, I doubted whether it was directed and acted by Guo Shouhuai. To bring out the spies in Sitian Prison.
"Because it seems like he is capable of using us as bait."
