Chapter 128: No Trace
"Big brother!"
"Young master!"
Everyone on the top of the cliff was shocked when they saw Xu Chen and Yang Xun hugging each other and falling.
As soon as the screams fell, someone grabbed the rope and jumped down.
On the young man's side, he didn't know martial arts, his movements were not as young as the black face, the cliff was smooth, and the young man who jumped off the cliff desperately couldn't borrow strength on the rocks at all, so he had to hold on to it and fall down like a free fall.
On the other hand, the black-faced young man just pulled the rope in his hand, his head down, his limbs spread, his clothes fluttering, light as a swallow, facing the whistling mountain wind, falling down quickly.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan said anxiously: "I don't know what danger is under the cliff, Xiao Xinzi, you also go down to help!"
"Okay!" Hao Xin didn't think much about it, found another rope, tied it and jumped down.
Immediately, Shen Yuan looked at Chai Qi on the side again, and said: "The cliff here is only more than a hundred zhang from the ground, Yang Xun's kung fu is also good, and the eldest brother has a lot of pills on him, even if he falls off the cliff, it will be a big problem." However, the black shadow that fought with the eldest brother just now must be a fierce beast, since there will be fierce beasts on the cliff, I am afraid that the valley is not safe, and I am not at ease when Xiao Xinzi goes alone. ”
Chai Qi is not stupid, Shen Yuan said so much, it was nothing more than to convey to him the meaning that Xu Chen would have no worries even if he fell off the cliff.
Compared with the teenagers, Chai Qi, who is a martial artist, can only be regarded as a person who hovers on the edge of the core in Xu Chen's group. Almost all rely on Xu Chen's personal charm to envelop such an unruly guy, and now Xu Chen is in danger, life and death are uncertain, Shen Yuan, as the leader of the eldest brother's guard, does not dare to be careless.
When Chai Qi heard this, he smiled, and then he also found a rope and jumped down as well.
As soon as Chai Qi left, Shen Yuan suddenly felt light, and immediately, the worry about the eldest brother in his heart surged again.
"The others stay on it, and no one is allowed to leave without my orders!"
The last time the eldest brother faced the cultivator who was found alone, everyone was asleep at that time, and when they woke up, everything was over, but now this situation was something that the teenagers had never expected and never experienced.
The plan has really come to this moment of implementation, especially when it was so simple to talk about it casually?
The teenagers used to hide behind their eldest brother, thinking that the world was nothing more than that. Now that the eldest brother is in danger, Shen Yuan suddenly feels the pressure, and he just hopes that the eldest brother can return safely as soon as possible and end this anxious wait as soon as possible.
……
The sun is gradually turning west, the night is about to fall, there is no daylight in the mountains, and it is not ordinary to find traces of people in the dense forest.
There was movement on the rope, but the boy who jumped down first was pulled up, and as soon as he reached the top of the cliff, the young man sat down on the ground, panting heavily, and he had lost the slightest strength.
"How is it?" As Shen Yuan asked, the eyes of everyone on the top of the cliff all turned around.
The young man shook his head with difficulty, and replied weakly: "No...... Didn't see ......."
"How is it possible?" Shen Yuan said hurriedly: "How many places have you found? What about Xiao Xinzi? What about Chai Qi?
Shen Yuan asked several questions one after another, he knew how much equipment the eldest brother had, as he said to Chai Qi just now, it was not just words of comfort.
This cliff is only more than a hundred zhang from the ground, even if the eldest brother falls, at most he will be seriously injured, and the eldest brother with the elixir on his body, as long as he still has a breath, then there will be nothing.
What's more, there is also a master Yang Xun who has built a foundation next to the eldest brother, with the light skills of the master of building the foundation, what is this cliff of more than 100 zhang?
Even if there are fierce beasts at the bottom of the cliff, how can the hands and thunder on the eldest brother be vegetarians? It's just that in these few hours, there was no explosion of hands and thunder at the bottom of the cliff......
"I didn't ...... There were no beasts down there, just a low bush. Sure enough, the boy said.
"Then how can you not find it? If the eldest brother is fine, will he still wander around?"
"Where are you looking? Have you searched all the cliff bottoms?"
Shen Yuan was asking, the rope moved again, Hao Xin jumped out, and the black-faced boy and Chai Qi followed.
"Brother Yuan, no!" Hao Xin heard Shen Yuan's question, and said with great confusion: "After we went down to the bottom of the cliff, we found that there was no trace of heavy objects falling to the ground on the side of the bushes at the bottom of the cliff!"
"Not only that, there is no trace of any animal activity!" Chai Qi continued.
"If it is taken away by a wild beast as a prey, it is impossible not to leave the slightest trace, we have carefully investigated, not to mention bloodstains, not even broken clothes, not even the severed rope, and there is no smell of big brother in the air......"
Listening to the words of a few people, Shen Yuan's mood was a little lighter, Hao Xin studied under Hao Zhutou, and he didn't have the ability to search for traces, after building the foundation, his sense of smell was even more sensitive than that of a hound, and there was no trace of a big brother up and down, but it was not a bad thing.
"Could it be...... Big Brother didn't fall off the cliff? or ...... Just didn't fall to the bottom of the cliff?" Shen Yuan muttered to himself, then raised his head and asked the three of them, "What are the places on the cliffs?
"No!" The black-faced young man was also confused, and said in a deep voice: "This cliff is only more than a hundred zhang, and the width is no more than a few zhang, all covered by vines. ”
"Moreover, since the young master and the two are safe and sound, I have been searching for a few hours, and it is impossible that there is no sound for help. ”
"This ......"
In fact, this is also the most confused place for Shen Yuan, it stands to reason that the eldest brother obviously has so much equipment on him, as long as it is not bad luck, he loses his breath in an instant, or the two of them lose consciousness, then it is impossible to have no reaction. Even in a dangerous place, it is impossible not to send the slightest distress signal, and the sound of the explosion of the hand grenade is enough to be heard far away in this quiet valley.
There is not the slightest trace of wild beasts at the bottom of the cliff, so where did the eldest brother go?
"Have you found out the black shadow that fought with the eldest brother just now?" Shen Yuan remembered that when he leaned over just now, he saw the black shadow that was several feet long in the clouds and mist.
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
"I don't know what it is! But when I came up, I saw that there was a small hole one foot square hidden in the tea trees that the eldest brother said. ”
"What? Cave?
Even if there are really snakes and insects, it is impossible to drag two adults into it at the same time, not to mention that even if the eldest brother and them are really dragged in, it is impossible for the tea tree at the entrance of the cave not to leave some broken clothes. ”
"So, big brother, they disappeared inexplicably?" Shen Yuan didn't want to believe this conclusion, but the information he got now had to make him make such a conjecture.
"No matter! stay and set up camp, and continue to look for it tomorrow!"
Shen Yuan was reluctant to give up, and it was naturally impossible for the teenagers to give up.
"You, now immediately go to the place where the horse was hidden just now and let the five people over there come over, and let them send one more person to report to the fourth brother immediately!"
"Yes!" The person who was pointed out by Shen Yuan was only in an urgent situation, and after receiving the order, he didn't care that the sky was getting dark, so he turned his head and plunged into the mountains and forests.
Fortunately, along the way, Xu Chen and the others overcame thorns and thorns to open the path wide enough, and most of the traps on the road were plowed through.
"You two, you are not allowed to leave half a step until the matter is over!" said Shen Yuan, who glanced at the two guides coldly.
The teenagers had all seen blood, and their bodies were somewhat stained with murderous aura, and the two guides nodded in cringe when they saw Shen Yuan's indifferent face.
Shen Yuan was making arrangements here, but the black-faced young man walked towards the two Yang Xun guards who came with him, and ordered, "You two stay here and look for the young master with them." I must go back to Hulu Valley immediately, after a long time, Zhang Kejiang will definitely find out. ”
"Okay!" Although Xiao Si is young, his status on Yang Xun's side is obviously much higher than that of these two guards.
"Brother Shen, you're going to be there here!" said the black-faced young man at Shen Yuan.
"You want to leave?" Shen Yuan frowned.
The black-faced young man knew the worry in the other party's heart, so he took a few steps forward and whispered a few words in Shen Yuan's ear.
"Okay, be careful all the way!" Shen Yuan listened, and his brows suddenly stretched.
……
This time, the black-faced young man set off alone, more than twice as fast as when he came, and on the way, he saw the young man who was also sent back to report the news, and he didn't stop to see him, and rushed straight to the camp in Hulu Valley.
Inside and outside the gourd valley, there is calm.
In the past six days, the official and military battalions outside the city have not launched a single battle for some reason, and have only cared about training soldiers and horses in the camp. And the rebels in the gourd valley also had no intention of going out of the city to fight.
This was a common thing, and the rebels were now based on a favorable location and had ample backups. There was no need to rush to fight at all, but it was the actions of the officers and soldiers outside the city that made Zhang Kejiang feel very puzzled.
What also puzzled him was that in the past six days, he had not seen Yang Xun once. When I went to visit Yang Xun's residence every day, I was stopped by the guards outside the door, saying that Yang Xun was studying military strategies and it was inconvenient to meet guests.
Yang Xun's arrogance, Zhang Kejiang has encountered it many times these days, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but now that time has passed, Zhang Kejiang will inevitably be suspicious in his heart.
It's not that he didn't think about the possibility that Yang Xun was not in Hulu Valley, but as he thought before, Yang Xun couldn't be stupid enough to go back to Quanzhou alone, even if he wasn't in Hulu Valley, it was estimated that at most he wouldn't go to the mountains to hunt and find a few game.
On the outermost city wall of Hulu Valley, Zhang Kejiang completed his daily inspection and was about to go back, when one of Yang Xun's personal guards ran and said, "Lord Zhang, the young master is invited!"
"Oh?" Zhang Kejiang was puzzled, but he didn't refuse.
When I came to Yang Xun's residence, I saw a qiē normal.
Zhang Kejiang stood outside the door for a moment, still not noticing the slightest abnormality, so he walked straight in.
When I came to the living room, I saw a black-faced boy waiting in the hall.
"Master Zhang later, the young master will come in a moment!" The black-faced young man was still as indifferent as usual.
Zhang Kejiang didn't realize that he was there, but after sitting down, he still kept an eye on it, and Zhang Kejiang just smiled at the tea served by the black-faced young man, put it on the desk, and never took a sip.
"I wonder when Brother Yang will come?" After waiting for a while, Zhang Kejiang gradually became impatient, so he asked.
The black-faced young man stood in place, and said softly with a depressed expression: "When, I also want to know when the young master will come back......
"What?"
They are all masters, and the voice of the black-faced young man is not loud, but Zhang Kejiang can't hear it.
Zhang Kejiang, who stood up in shock, was about to move, but suddenly it was dark in front of him!
"You ......"
Before he could say anything, Zhang Kejiang fell to the ground.
