This valley is not big, Xu He and Senior Brother Yan went out to inspect just now, and they didn't go very far, it stands to reason that if there was really an accident here just now, it would be impossible for the two of them not to be unaware.

Moreover, near this bonfire, there is no trace of a fight, everything is still the same as when they left, but there are two people missing, Xiaoliu and Qi'an.

Xiao Liu and Qi An are not ordinary people, a Fengfu realm, a Shentang realm, and they all have life-saving things on their bodies, even if they meet a demon beast that has given birth to a demon pill, it will not be that both of them will be taken away quietly without any resistance.

Xu He looked around, thinking to himself, and his heart was full of doubts.

Senior Brother Yan next to him didn't know if he had noticed this, but his brows were furrowed, and his expression was full of anxiety.

"Senior Brother Xu, you stay here, I'll go take a look elsewhere. Senior Brother Yan saw that there was no Qi'an and the two nearby, so he prepared to go to a farther place to find them.

Xu He grabbed him, and wanted to express the doubts and speculations in his heart, but after his eyes touched the anxiety in Senior Brother Yan's eyes, the words that came to his mouth suddenly became a little unspeakable. After a little silence, he said, "I'll go with my senior brother." ”

Senior Brother Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "It's okay." ”

This valley is not big, and it didn't take long for the two of them to turn around, but there was not the slightest clue to find it. It was as if Xiaoliu and Qi'an had disappeared from this valley out of thin air.

The anxiety on Senior Brother Yan's face between his eyebrows gradually became a little more suspicious.

After Xu He saw the change in the expression on Senior Brother Yan's face, he knew that he had probably already reacted, so he carefully opened his mouth and asked, "Senior Brother Yan, do we still want to look for it again?"

Senior Brother Yan glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you also think that they are likely to be the valley they left by themselves?"

Xu He nodded: "If it is really a demon beast that appears, it is impossible to leave no trace at all." ”

Senior Brother Yan frowned, and after being silent for a long time, he asked in a deep voice, "Is it possible that they suddenly discovered something, and then left without sending us a signal in a hurry?"

When Xu He heard this, his eyes swept over the look on his face, and although he didn't agree in his heart, he still nodded.

He was worried that if he said it was impossible, Senior Brother Yan would blame himself for the reason why Qi An and the others left quietly. After all, the conversation around the bonfire before could be said to be very unpleasant between Qi An and Senior Brother Yan.

"Then let's look for it again, and look at the hills on both sides. If you still don't find it, go back to the valley first, and wait until tomorrow morning. After Senior Brother Yan was silent for a moment, he decided to try to find it again.

Xu Hezi will not object.

The two went up to the hills on both sides of the valley, and they searched all the way, and after half an hour, they reached the top of the mountain. On the other side of the hill is a great river.

The river is wide and turbulent.

On both sides of the river, willow trees are overgrown. Probably because of the abundance of water, each of the willow trees flourished, and the long willow was as thick as a woman's long hair.

When they first arrived in this valley, they had been to this river.

Standing on the top of the mountain at this time, under the darkness, they could not see the situation of the big river at the foot of the mountain, but the sound of the river rushing was sent to their ears with the wind, and they heard it very clearly.

Xu He followed Senior Brother Yan to search around the mountain, but still didn't find anything. When he was hesitating to continue the search, his eyes inadvertently swept over the foot of the mountain, and suddenly, something in his vision lit up slightly.

He was stunned for a moment, and then looked closely, but he no longer saw the light just now. Xu He felt strange that in this secret realm, there was never moonlight at night. Without moonlight, there is naturally no reflection. Where did the light come from?

Or was he wrong?

"What's wrong?" Senior Brother Yan, who had gained nothing, turned around and saw Xu He standing there motionless, as if staring at the foot of the mountain in a daze, and immediately asked.

Xu He retracted his gaze, hesitating to say what he wasn't sure he had seen just now.

After hesitating for a moment, he didn't mention the light he had just seen, but said, "Let's go over there and look for it?"

Senior Brother Yan immediately agreed.

The two of them went all the way down through the dense forest, and as they got closer to the foot of the mountain, the forest gradually began to fog. The mist was moist, dripping on the face, and in the cold, there seemed to be a slight wisp of yin that was not very obvious.

Both of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them was aware.

Soon, we reached the bottom of the mountain. The sound of the rushing river became louder. The fog is also thicker. All over the body, they have been wet with mist, and their hair is sticky on their sideburns, which is very uncomfortable.

The willow trees were so luxuriant, in the darkness and fog that only a faint shadow could be seen, as if a giant beast was crouching and guarding the river.

Senior Brother Yan remembered the whereabouts of Qi'an and Xiaoliu, although he had vaguely sensed that the fog around him was a little cold, but he still didn't pay attention to it, and as soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he immediately began to search for Qi'an and their whereabouts along the river.

Xu He stood in place and did not move immediately. His eyes looked around vigilantly, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Senior Brother Xu, come here!" Suddenly, Senior Brother Yan, who had already walked away for some distance, suddenly shouted.

Xu He hurriedly ran over, only to see Senior Brother Yan holding a piece of rag in his hand. Looking at the color of the fabric and the patterns on it, it seems to be somewhat similar to the clothes that Xiao Liu is wearing today.

"Doesn't it look like the material of the clothes that Xiao Liu is wearing today?" Senior Brother Yan took the fabric and looked at Xu He and asked.

Xu He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's a little similar." ”

"Hurry up and look around here to see if there are any other clues!" Senior Brother Yan was slightly excited.

Xu He was also a little excited, and when he heard this, he immediately looked for it around here. Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to find another piece of material not far away, which was also torn off my clothes, and it was the same as the previous piece of material.

"It must be Xiaoliu them!" Senior Brother Yan took the material and said firmly.

Xu He searched around here again, and suddenly found that under a willow tree on the shore, there seemed to be something, which fell in the grass on the ground, revealing a small horn.

He walked over and picked it up and saw that it was a piece of broken jade.

Xu He took this broken jade, and immediately thought of the little light he saw in a trance on the mountain before, could it be that this broken jade came out?

"Senior brother, come and take a look at this. Xu He called Senior Brother Yan over, and then handed him the broken jade.

After Senior Brother Yan looked at it carefully, he frowned and said, "It's a bit like the jade pendant hanging on Qi An's body." After speaking, he immediately asked, "Where did you find it?"

Xu He pointed to the grass on the shore and said, "It's right there." ”

Senior Brother Yan immediately went over, looked at it carefully, and soon found a footprint on the bank, looking at the direction of the footprint, it seemed to be going to the river.

But what are they going to do in the river?

Senior Brother Yan raised his eyes, his gaze followed the surface of the river, through the dense mist, and wanted to fall to the other side of the river.

However, the night was too dark and the fog was too thick to see anything.

"They may have crossed the river!" Senior Brother Yan said in a deep voice after thinking about it.

Xu He also felt that this was very likely, but what were they doing crossing the river at this time?

Xu He wrinkled his brows and thought for a moment, then looked at Senior Brother Yan, who was silently squatting on the shore and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked, "Then should we go with us?"

Senior Brother Yan was silent.

Seeing this, Xu He didn't bother, and stood quietly behind, thinking about what Qi An and Xiao Liu suddenly left the valley for this night? Was it really because of the unhappiness with Senior Brother Yan before? Or was it just like Senior Brother Yan said, they found something temporarily?

Suddenly, a wind burst out and whined.

The mist surged, rolling those slender willow branches, squirming and moving.

At this moment, the willow branches of the two willow trees beside Senior Brother Yan, who were squatting on the shore, all moved, silently, but extremely quickly surrounded Senior Brother Yan.

The dense willow branches were overwhelming, and before the two of them could react, they had already wrapped Senior Brother Yan tightly.

"Senior Brother Yan!" Xu He exclaimed, the sword moved at will, and countless fragments of sword light, like pieces of lancets, quickly cut towards those willow branches.

Those willow branches broke as soon as they touched the sword light, but they were not less, but even more and more.

At this time, all the other willows moved.

Countless slender wickers, like long whips, swung towards Xu He. Xu He had no choice but to dodge while taking out his sword to resist. For a while, he was tired of coping, and it was difficult to take care of Senior Brother Yan, who was surrounded by wickers.

About a stick of incense later, another gust of wind blew.

After a surge of fog around them, the wickers suddenly all retracted and returned to their previous appearance.

Xu He stood in place a little panting, his long sword in his hand, and he didn't dare to put it away for the time being. While keeping an eye on those willow trees with vigilant eyes, he shouted, "Senior Brother Yan, how are you?"

The voice fell, but there was no response.

Xu He's heart chuckled, and when he turned his head, where was Senior Brother Yan on the shore.

A sense of foreboding suddenly came over me.

He hurriedly looked around, and in the thick mist, there was indeed no trace of Senior Brother Yan. He was still a little unwilling, and shouted twice, but there was no movement except the sound of water.

Senior Brother Yan just disappeared!

Xu He was shocked in his heart, and wanted to stay here to find out what had just happened. But then I thought about it, Senior Brother Yan of the Divine Hall Realm had no power to resist in the situation just now, and he disappeared without even a trace of movement, what could he do with a Fengfu Realm!

After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran up the hill.

You can't stay in this place any longer!

After running back into the valley in one go, Xu He sat down by the still burning bonfire, and in less than an hour and a half, he was left alone with the original four people. The other three just vanished into thin air. Xu He was shocked and frightened in his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He sat there for a long time, and the turbulent waves in his heart finally calmed down, and after some thought, he decided to go to the river after dawn tomorrow. If you still don't find anything by then, be sure to get out of here before dark.

It is still unclear whether Naqi'an and Xiaoliu went to the river by themselves or what happened, but at present, it may not be safe in this valley.

It's just that it's late at night, and I'm afraid it's even more unsafe outside.

Therefore, Xu He can only be in this valley for one night.
