This is the secret code between them. The secret code is different for each person, in order to prevent Peng Wenruo from using the secret code to plot against them after learning about the secret code.
Duan Peng stood up slowly and calmly and strode towards Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to advise Duan Peng to be careful, but Duan Peng didn't care at all. It wasn't until he got closer to Gu Xiaotian that he said: "Don't worry, there is no one around. You were hiding behind that big rock just now. I'll look at it." it's your turn."
Gu Xiaotian blushed and stood up, "Am I that bad at hiding?"
Duan Peng shook his head, "Not bad, it's just that your shadow betrayed you."
The two sat there, exchanging information with each other.
Gu Xiaotian walked along the way and didn't see anything strange. Along the way, there were either trees or rocks, and there were no other strange phenomena.
Duan Peng revealed an important piece of information, "I found the place to go out, and Lu Zi'an should have found it too. She was behind me at the time."
Gu Xiaotian asked curiously: "She didn't rush up and fight with you?"
Duan Peng said expressionlessly: "No, but she asked me something."
"What's up?"
"She asked if she would like to be her companion in this secret realm."
When Gu Xiaotian heard this, he was shocked at first, and then became even more confused.
Logically speaking, it is certain that Lu Zi'an and Peng Wen will form an alliance, and Duan Peng is one of their favorites. Lu Zi'an will not know, let alone Peng Wen, that he has some issues with him.
Now, Lu Zi'an has actually sent an alliance invitation to Duan Peng. I really don't know what that girl is thinking.
Could it be that she felt that she and Peng Wen were weak and wanted to find a more reliable partner?
It seems that only this answer is the most reasonable.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "So, you didn't agree to her?"
After all, he is his friend. Gu Xiaotian still knows about Duan Peng. If Duan Peng really agreed to Lu Zi'an, he probably wouldn't be here anymore.
However, Duan Peng shook his head, "I promised her."
Gu Xiaotian, who was originally calm, suddenly jumped up, "You promised her, then she is nearby?"
Gu Xiaotian looked around with vigilance. No matter how hard he calculated, he never expected that Duan Peng would betray him at such a moment!
Duan Peng stood up and pressed Gu Xiaotian's shoulders, signaling Gu Xiaotian to sit down.
Gu Xiaotian was still sitting down, and his Wufeng sword was ready to slash at Duan Peng, but he didn't attack because he thought he was from the same sect, not to mention that Duan Peng sometimes didn't do things according to common sense.
And if he really gets into a fight, there's no telling whether he can beat Duan Peng.
However, Duan Peng then said lightly: "I don't think Lu Zi'an cares about opportunities. She seems to know something."
Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows. He believed in Duan Peng's eyesight. This person could always see some details that others could not see. What's more, Duan Peng's so-called intuition had helped Gu Xiaotian more than once.
But after that, Duan Peng did not continue talking. Because Duan Peng could just feel it, but as to what it was and for what purpose, he had no idea. He had no interaction with Lu Zian at all, and he only came to the conclusion based on the analysis of other signs.
The top priority right now is not to worry about what Lu Zi'an is here for, but to continue to take action. Sitting back and waiting for death is not Gu Xiaotian's style.
Gu Xiaotian and Duan Peng discussed it. Although Duan Peng was a little opposed to taking rash actions without knowing what the options were, he still followed Gu Xiaotian's wish. After all, he knew Gu Xiaotian's character.
With Duan Peng's help, Gu Xiaotian is no longer as cautious as before on this journey. At least he can relax a little.
The two of them soon arrived at the Wangchuan River. Some footprints could still be seen vaguely on the soft land by the river.
Logically speaking, leaving footprints is really not a wise move and will put yourself in danger. Duan Peng knelt down and took a quick look behind him, and realized that someone had deliberately left the footprints.
Judging from the footprints alone, it's really impossible to tell whose footprints it is, but the person who deliberately left the footprints must have wanted others to find him.
The choice now is clear, it’s to find your feet
To find someone in the direction of the footprints, or in the opposite direction of the footprints.
Duan Peng, who is cautious, still chooses to follow the footsteps as always. He has always been cautious in doing things. He only believes in what is happening in front of him and allows him to take risks. If it is not absolutely necessary, he will never go.
But Gu Xiaotian doesn't think so. This guy's character is a bit biased towards the tigers in the mountains, but it's understandable.
After all, in this secret realm, the so-called enemies are nothing more than Peng Wen and Lu Zi'an. Now that Lu Zi'an has formed an alliance with Duan Peng on the road, there is only one Peng Wen left.
Gu Xiaotian said a little sinisterly: "If we are really unlucky and encounter Peng Wen, we will deal with him." As he said this, he wiped his neck.
Duan Peng was speechless. Let's not talk about Peng Wen's strength. Peng Wen had never made a move in the first two rounds. In addition, he could see through Wei Chengshan's tricks at a glance. This Peng Wen's strength was probably unfathomable.
But Gu Xiaotian no longer waited, and went to look for the footprints by himself.
Duan Peng sighed and had no choice but to follow.
Interestingly, after following the footprints for more than ten miles, the footprints were not shallow, but were getting deeper and deeper, as if they were very worried that the people who saw the footprints would not be able to find them. @
Especially after the footprints turned around, they had already turned into the grass. It is logically impossible to leave footprints if they are covered by weeds. However, where the footprints are not there, the weeds in that area are completely covered. Cut it open to reveal the soil inside. Judging from the depth of the footprints on the soil, it must have been a strong step.
The more Duan Peng followed, the more he felt something was wrong, so he pulled Gu Xiaotian and said, "I think there's something wrong with these footprints."
In fact, Gu Xiaotian also discovered it. How could anyone leave clues like this? Are they really not afraid of being discovered?
Even Wen Moyin should not be able to do such a thing. In the long run, it is impossible for anyone in the secret realm to do such a thing. The strength of these people is really not strong enough to defeat more than one dozen without falling behind. No one dares to beat this for sure.
Gu Xiaotian stood there, looking at the footprints, "Are you still following?"
This time it was his turn to hesitate, knowing that this was all too abnormal.
In his mind, he ran through all the possible scenarios.
Peng Wen's palace was extremely deep, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be exposed to the public eye. As for her senior sister Wen Moyin, she would definitely not choose this method. She already had a secret enemy. Wouldn't this seem unnecessary. As for Lu Zi'an, Gu Xiaotian felt that this woman was very suspicious, but she had formed an alliance with Duan Peng not long ago. If she really wanted to lure people over, she probably wouldn't use this method.
Countless thoughts were eliminated in my mind one by one, and in the end I couldn't think of a reason.
Duan Peng was very determined at this time, "It's come to this point. Hey, I'm actually very curious about who spent so much time."
Duan Peng expressed his determination, and Gu Xiaotian also made up his mind. The worst he could do was draw his sword and start a battle, which would just be a good time to test the results of his two days of practice. I have a scar as big as a bowl on my head. At worst, I won’t get this opportunity!
The two of them continued to follow the footprints, and followed the order of the footprints in twists and turns until they came to a more open place. The scene in front of them made them both take a breath.
Gu Xiaotian was surprised: "Is there such a place in this secret realm?"
At this time, what stood in front of them was a large courtyard, which was extremely luxuriously decorated. If it were placed in other capitals, it would only be affordable for wealthy families.
They originally thought that the secret realm was the secret realm, but they did not expect that there was such a compound hidden in the secret realm.
Although Duan Peng was calm, his expression at this moment was also filled with surprise. Maybe he had never thought that there would be such a compound in this secret realm.
At this time, the door of the courtyard was open, and except for the sound of the wind blowing and the breathing of the two people, there was no other sound.
And the footprints stopped abruptly when they reached the gate of this compound.
To enter or not to enter?
Both of them were murmuring in their hearts.
Gu Xiaotian did not enter the courtyard rashly. He walked around first and returned to the entrance of the courtyard after a while. "I walked around and there was nothing strange. I also paid attention and tried my best to eavesdrop on whether there was any movement in the courtyard. , but didn’t hear any movement
. "
Duan Peng looked into the courtyard door and asked: "If there was no movement, why would you leave footprints for people to find? If you were in the courtyard at this time, where do you think you could hide and kill someone after they stepped through the courtyard door? Life?"
Gu Xiaotian took a closer look at the situation in the courtyard. Although he couldn't see everything comprehensively, he could imagine the general appearance of the courtyard. "This courtyard is not suitable for hiding people, but it's hard to tell when you enter the house." .”
There is nothing else in this yard except a few trees. Even if you really want to hide, you can't hide someone.
What's more, there is such a large courtyard in the secret realm. Anyone who enters must be cautious. It is unreasonable to want to sneak attack in the courtyard.
Duan Peng nodded, "Then let's go to the courtyard first. We've already come, but we want to see who it is that went to so much trouble to lure us here."
After saying that, he stepped into the courtyard with a cluster of flames hidden in his palm. After stepping into the courtyard, he looked around a few times to make sure no one was there before slowly extinguishing the flame hidden in his hand.
Gu Xiaotian followed Duan Peng into the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, he saw clearly what the courtyard originally looked like.
Looking at the several houses in the yard, the doors of each house were closed, the windows were closed tightly, and the curtains were drawn, but it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
Now that both of them have come in, they have no intention of retreating. They move forward cautiously, trying to stay as far away from those houses as possible. After all, if they really want to hide, this house is the best place.
It wasn't until the two of them walked into the innermost part of the yard that they discovered that not only was the innermost house more elegant than the surrounding ones, but the door of that house was now wide open.
All the doors are closed, but the door of this house is wide open. Who would believe that there are no ghosts?
The footprints left deliberately, the open courtyard door, and the door opened alone, each piece of information seemed like a string of beads, one link after another.
As for whether this is a trap or whether he sincerely wants people to come, it's hard to say.
Both of them have reached this point, so naturally they have no and no thoughts of leaving.
At this time, the two of them were obviously trapped, and whether they could leave was no longer something they should consider.
Now they just want to know.
Who is here?
