After Wu Sheng swung a piece of fake lightning to strike the tree, he immediately put away the Sky Thieving Rope and prepared to leave the cave. In the explosion of lightning hitting the wood, he had completely determined the direction and angle of the tunnel. There was no need to go through this place.
When I turned around and came out, I caught a glimpse of some clothes on the ground. I picked them up and looked at them. They were very ordinary and there was nothing left. I simply threw them on the firewood and burned them.
Wu Sheng seized the time to get out of the cave and began to climb over the mountain. Judging from the sound of rolling stones and the explosion of fake lightning hitting the wood, he concluded that the exit of the cave was on the opposite side of the mountain.
Zhufeng was sneaky all the way, and most of the people who came to meet him were Mai. His Silver Moon Bow was a magical weapon. Under the surprise attack, even the masters of Void Refining couldn't dodge. Mai had probably been attacked, otherwise he wouldn't have burrowed into the ground. To escape, you must catch up while he is injured, otherwise you may not be his opponent when he recovers!
Within a few ups and downs, Wu Sheng reached the top of the mountain. With the silver-moon bow in hand, Wu Sheng jumped onto a big tree and looked in the predicted direction, looking for the entrance to the cave.
He looked around for a moment, but couldn't find his target. After thinking for a while, Wu Sheng saw a hidden route down the mountain and descended from it.
Behind boulders, on big trees, under cracks in the ground...
Wu Sheng was cautiously guarding against counterattacks that might come at any time, and gradually approached the foot of the mountain. He lay on the bulge of a cliff and looked down, but he never saw a trace of Zhufeng and Mai. Looking at the dense forest ravine ahead, there was light smoke floating in the darkness, which was the gathering of miasma. It will reach its peak around dawn. If Mai and Zhufeng want to escape, the most likely escape direction is here. If they don't pursue them now, it will be dawn.
Wu Sheng no longer hesitated and jumped down. As soon as he landed, he discovered the col behind him. . This mountain col is just below the bulging cliff. It is blocked by most of the cliff and cannot be seen from above.
And in the gap on the left side of the mountain col, Wu Sheng saw the exit of the cave.
At this moment, there was no one under the mountain col. There were only some messy footprints, all pointing to the dense forest ahead where the miasma was gathering.
Wu Sheng followed the footprints into the dense forest and chased them for more than ten feet. The footprints disappeared. Wu Sheng jumped on the tree and walked around, but found no trace.
Lost it!
After thinking for a moment, Wu Sheng returned to the place where the footprints disappeared, lit a fire on his fingertips, and carefully examined several messy and sparse footprints. After examining them for a while, he found that there was something wrong with these footprints, they were too clear.
Even if Taoist Mai is injured by his own True Essence Arrow, he will not leave any footprints when he walks. Even if he is injured to the point of being unable to move and is carried by Zhufeng, the same is true. Zhufeng's cultivation is fully capable of walking. No trace of snow.
Looking more carefully, Wu Sheng suddenly saw clearly that these were not the footprints of two people, but three people, one of whom was wearing cloth shoes, one was wearing mango shoes, and the other was barefoot without shoes.
Who could the other one be?
I don't have time to think about this problem in detail. It's good to know that there are three people on the other side. This is very important. Now that I am fighting against three people, I need to be more careful.
Following the footprints backwards, Wu Sheng returned to the foot of the mountain. Since the footprints were forged, it meant that the other party did not escape and was probably hiding in a cave. He flicked a few stones toward the hole's exit. The stones contained strong real energy. If they were struck in, they should be able to detect whether there was anyone hiding inside.
There was no response after the stone was hit. Wu Sheng speculated that maybe there was another fork inside?
Wu Sheng gritted his teeth and simply got in. He took out the Feihong Sword and struck forward continuously. He transformed into a magic shield and put it on his head. Although this thing has no spirituality and can be broken with one blow, it can fight for himself. precious response time.
I just went all the way in, and I didn't see any forks in the tunnel until I got back into the cave.
Wu Sheng returned to the mountain col. He was a little anxious. Although the target of the three living people was obvious, it was really difficult to find them in this deep mountain and old forest. Once they lost their direction for more than an hour, they could basically be declared missed.
He simply lit a few more bonfires to brightly illuminate the mountain col, and used the light to re-examine the footprints.
There was nothing wrong with the footprints, but he suddenly noticed fallen leaves piled up on the other side of the col.
Wu Sheng smiled, walked over quietly, and gently blew away the pile of fallen leaves. Another small hole appeared under the fallen leaves. It looked like it was newly dug, and the pile of soil next to it was still fresh and moist.
Wu Sheng lit a torch and threw it in. It illuminated a depth of about two feet, making it difficult to see clearly further inside.
When did Mai learn to dig a hole in the ground? This hole is played very quickly! Or maybe the third person is good at drilling holes?
The direction of the cave is still through the mountain, but the one just now was in the north-south direction, and now this one is in the east-west direction. But the mountains are oriented east-west, one after another, endless, and it is difficult to find an exit - people can keep digging, or they can open sideways at any time.
Looking up at these hills, although they are not high in the strict sense, the shortest ones are more than ten feet tall. It is impossible to dig down from the top.
Time was running out, Wu Sheng didn't have time to think too much, so he used the method just now, using the Feihong Sword to open the way, holding the inner alchemy shield on his head, and got in with a waist.
The first few feet went smoothly, but after going five or six feet deep, a lot of soft soil piled up in front. Mai and others must have piled the soil behind when they dug the hole.
The soil was very wet and turned into mud by underground water, so Wu Sheng had to start digging. He used the Feihong Sword as a chisel and the Inner Alchemy Shield as a shovel to dig down the dirt accumulated in front of him, send it into the Thieving Sky Rope, and "squirm" it away behind him.
If he continues at this speed, Wu Sheng will definitely catch up with the three people in front of Mai. They will dig new holes as fast as digging old soil by themselves.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the sound of excavation was heard ahead. The movement of Wu Sheng chasing after him was also noticed by Mai and the others, and there was a rush of noise from the front.
Listening to the hustle and bustle in front of him, the first thing Wu Sheng recognized was Zhufeng, who sounded very familiar, especially his words yesterday, "Taoist Master Mai? Never heard of it." The words were still ringing in his ears. Unfortunately, he denied it too simply. No hesitation, no even thinking, the acting was so bad!
Another voice quickly evoked his memories, and it turned out to be Mai!
Wu Sheng was very excited: With Mai's cultivation and arrogance, since she ran away in such an embarrassing manner, it meant that she was seriously injured!
As for the other voice, Wu Sheng also felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
The front suddenly became empty, and the soil was dug out. Wu Sheng suddenly saw a deep hole in front of him, and at the opposite end, three people were digging.
There was no time to think about where the dirt went. Wu Sheng shook his hand and threw a fake lightning strike wood. He picked up the Silver Moon Bow in his hand and shot out a true essence arrow!
