It's just that he never had the chance to make friends with Gu Shuo. Therefore, he was very protective of Gu Shuo's friends, Hua Su, Xiang Yuan, You Xinghe, and Shi Ziji, and prepared to look for opportunities from the four of them.
The four Hua Su people were responsible for finding herbs for Chu He, and Yang Yanjian was Chu He's liaison to the Eastern District's handymen, and Yang Yanjian also intended to make friends with the four Hua Su people. So the two sides are getting along very well these days. The afternoon before yesterday, Hua Su and Yang Yanjian were chatting at the Chuanyunfeng Waterfall, saying that after cutting firewood tomorrow, they were going to go to the larch forest in the afternoon to see if there were any herbs.
Luosong Forest is not far from the ferocious beast area, so it is not very dangerous for Hua Su and the four people who are already in the dirty state. Therefore, Yang Yanjian only gave a few warnings but did not take them seriously. But last night, Yang Yanjian took a pot of wine to find Hua Su and four others to contact each other, but found that Hua Su and four others did not come back.
Yang Yanjian waited until midnight, and when Hua Su and the four people didn't come back, he knew something was wrong. Even he didn't dare to sleep in the wild at night, let alone Hua Su, the four people who had just entered the Zang Realm?
So, he came to see Gu Shuo early this morning.
When Gu Shuo heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He had been to the Larch Forest, and there was no big danger. Logically speaking, Hua Su and the four of them would definitely be able to return before dusk. But he hasn't been to the larch forest for several months because the ferocious beasts there are too weak for him. Who knows if there will be another powerful beast in the larch forest in the past few months?
"I gonna go see!"
"Senior Brother Gu, I'll go with you!" Yang Yanjian didn't want to give up this opportunity to make friends with Gu Shuo. Although it was dangerous to go to Luosong Forest, he felt that he should be able to handle it as a ninth-level Zhen realm. What's more, there is Gu Shuo?
"good!"
Gu Shuo didn't think much about it. He hurried to Luosong Forest, returned to the house, picked up the middle-grade long sword, put his shoulder bag on his back, and ran towards the outside of the sect with Yang Yanjian.
Looking at the middle-grade long sword in Gu Shuo's hand, Yang Yanjian's eyes flashed with envy.
The weapons issued to the servants by the sect were all low-grade, while the weapons used by the registered disciples were medium-grade.
More than an hour later, the two people arrived at the larch forest. Gu Shuo stopped and began to look for traces of Hua Su and others. Then he frowned slightly, not that he couldn't find any traces, but that he found quite a few traces. At least three groups of people should enter the larch forest.
Gu Shuo had consciously trained in finding and eliminating traces before, so he discovered the traces quickly. The most important thing is that all he found were traces of entering the larch forest, but no trace of exit. This shows that after entering the larch forest, these three groups of people did not come out.
"Senior Brother Gu, what's wrong?" Seeing Gu Shuo's expression darken, Yang Yanjian couldn't help but become nervous.
"It seems something happened. Let's go!"
Gu Shuo pulled out his long sword and followed the traces into the larch forest. Yang Yanjian also drew his long sword and followed behind nervously:
"Senior Brother Gu, what happened?"
"I found traces of three groups of people entering the larch forest, but no trace of coming out."
Yang Yanjian's expression changed: "You mean, these three groups of people were fighting inside?"
"have no idea!"
The light in the larch forest is dim. Although there is sunshine, it is still full of darkness and dampness. Gu Shuo's heart was filled with gloom. Even if Hua Su and the four of them had an accident in the Luosong Forest at dusk, a whole night had passed and he still didn't know if they were still alive?
Because following the traces was not without purpose, Gu Shuo and the two quickly went deep into the larch forest in one direction. After walking for about three quarters of an hour, Gu Shuo suddenly stopped.
"Senior Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Shuo's eyes fell on a big tree. The big tree looked quite distinctive, with a crooked neck and branches showing teeth and claws, like a dragon.
"Here...have we been here before?"
"Ah?" Yang Yanjian looked at the crooked-neck tree, her Adam's apple squirmed a few times, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out on her forehead, she nodded and said:
"Okay...it seems so!"
Gu Shuo slashed his sword on the trunk of the tree, and then continued walking in the direction he had determined. Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them stood under the crooked neck tree again.
The sword marks on the tree trunk were like a split mouth, laughing at the two of them. Yang Yanjian stuttered:
"Gu Gu Gu Gu... Senior Brother Gu... is this... a formation?"
Gu Shuo frowned and thought for a while, but his brows relaxed: "I don't know, maybe it's the formation, or it's a ghost hitting the wall."
"Ghost, ghost, ghost... ghost hitting the wall?" Yang Yanjian's voice trembled.
"But that's not necessarily a good thing."
"Good...good thing?"
"Yeah!" Gu Shuo nodded: "We are just stuck here now, and our lives are not in danger. Maybe Junior Sister Hua and the others are also like this."
"That's right!" Yang Yanjian couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard that there was no danger to her life, but then she worried: "But if we can't get out, we will still die here."
"It will always get out."
Gu Shuo knelt down and began to carefully search for traces. After a while, he sighed.
The traces were too messy, and the traces left by myself and Yang Yanjian destroyed some of the previous traces. It was too difficult to find useful traces now!
Too difficult, but not impossible!
Gu Shuo patiently searched more carefully. Yang Yanjian was afraid of losing him, so she followed Gu Shuo step by step, and at the same time watched the surroundings vigilantly to protect Gu Shuo. At the same time, he also admired Gu Shuo very much in his heart. He knew that if he were here alone, he would be useless and there would be no other way out except walking blindly. But Gu Shuo was able to find traces.
How did he do that?
Among the messy traces, Gu Shuo finally found traces that did not belong to him, but he was not sure that they were traces of Hua Su and the others. There's not much I can do at this time, I can only follow the traces.
Sure enough, half an hour passed this time and the crooked neck tree was not seen again. But it turned in another circle, because Gu Shuo would leave sword marks wherever he passed. At this time, he was standing in front of the tree where he left sword marks.
"Senior Brother Gu..." At this time, Yang Yanjian seemed to be used to it and became much calmer.
"Don't worry, we are getting closer. Let me look for traces!"
"Senior Brother Gu, I feel a little weird."
While searching for traces, Gu Shuo asked, "What's weird?"
"If this is a formation, we should have been spinning in a circle. It would be difficult to find traces, right?"
"You mean ghosts hitting the wall?" Gu Shuo stopped.
Yang Yanjian's Adam's apple twitched: "I think it should be, and I have been to this larch forest before, and there is no formation at all. How could there be an additional formation suddenly?"
