In the afternoon of August, the sun is still scorching, and the weather is unusually hot, and even the wind is sultry if it is exposed to the sun.

This kind of weather is even more uncomfortable than the scorching heat of June and July.

But that's only outside the shade of the trees.

The shade in the Snake Ridge is very shady, and more than 150 big men, plus twenty or thirty hunting dogs, are scattered, searching all over the mountains, and most of the mountains have been searched.

No one is tired, no one feels hot, no one needs to rest.

Everyone was in good spirits, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm for the big game.

Ba Xin led two hounds and walked unhurriedly at the front of the mountain search team.

He knew he wasn't far from his prey.

He wants to enjoy the excitement and excitement before he catches his prey.

The moment of catching the prey is naturally the most refreshing and enjoyable, but the chase and fight before that are also fun.

He had already faintly smelled the breath of his prey, and he even hoped that Hei Wuya and the others would be more cunning and stubborn, so as to increase the difficulty and excitement of his hunt.

Is the top master who was evaluated by some of his subordinates as "I'm afraid not to lose to the prince" also in this team?

I wonder if he can meet this mysterious supreme master and compete with him?

It's been a long time since he's met a comparable master.

When he was young, Sha Jue may be able to compete with him, but Sha Jue is now over fifty years old, although he is still a first-class master, his brain is becoming more and more shrewd and cunning, and his scheming is becoming more and more unfathomable, but in terms of physical condition, he has passed his peak, and he cannot be compared with him when he is young.

His body and spirit are in a state of "seeking defeat alone".

He longed for a life-or-death, hearty battle.

He followed the hound's footsteps, and looked around, was the legendary top master peering at him somewhere?

Suddenly, a guard hurriedly ran over from behind and shouted: "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness Eighth has brought dozens of guards into the mountain, saying that he was bored in the mansion and wanted to search the mountain with the prince and help the prince." ”

Help? Ba Xin sneered in his heart, just with the waste of Badian?

However, the deeper you go, the more complicated the environment becomes, the more inconvenient your actions become, and dozens of more people search the mountains, which is not a bad thing.

And he also wanted to see how much material Bardian and his men had.

So he said, "Let them go into the mountains." Sue them not to interfere with the actions of this king. ”

He can only mobilize about 200 people now, of which forty or fifty people have to stay on the periphery to guard the mountain, and only one hundred and fifty or sixty people really go into the mountain to search.

The guard who reported the news quickly ran back, and after conveying Ba Xin's order to Ba Dian, he pointed in one direction: "Eighth Highness, there are fewer people over there, if Eighth Highness doesn't mind, please ask Eighth Highness to help search over there." ”

None of the hounds searched that way, proving that there had been no one there lately.

His Royal Highness wants to help, of course, he can only go where to help.

Badian faintly heard the guard's disapproval, and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, but he didn't care, and said to his opponent: "Go over there and search, move quickly, don't pull the hind legs of the seventh brother." ”

So he ran over there with forty or fifty guards.

Ba Xin's guards looked at this group of people with contempt in their eyes.

His Royal Highness Eighth just came to Iron Banner Town to watch the performance, but he brought so many personal soldiers over, for fear that he would be assassinated?

It's really unplanted!

In fact, the guard's mockery was really right, and Bardian was afraid that something would happen to him, so he brought so many people over.

Because there was no news of the secret roster, Badian had always been worried about which Fei magnate would fall into the hands of the fame, and the other party did not know when he would attack him, so he brought his most trusted close to Iron Banner Town just in case.

Not only that, but as Qiu Guhan expected, he also had a secret residence in Iron Banner Town.

This secret residence is actually also the family of a young general of Fei Guo, but the whole family of this young general is his cronies, and that house is a secret base he installed in Iron Banner Town.

The family never had direct contact with him, and rarely contacted him, and any information was transmitted in a tortuous way, and no one knew the secrets of this family.

Badian endured his anger and marched forward with a group of men.

Basically, there is no "search", that is, to stay away from Ba Xin's people at a relatively fast speed, and then keep drilling into the depths of Snake Ridge, hoping to meet Feng Xiangkong and others soon.

Several of Badian's henchmen already knew about his deal with Shang Guo's spies, and while shocked, there was no other way than to fully support the master, so they worked very hard to lead people to the depths.

Qiu Guhan is the one who runs at the front and rushes the fastest.

He had to rush in front of Ba Xin's people to contact Yin Jiu Kill and the others.

Fortunately, he is acting alone, and he doesn't need to search the mountains, he just needs to avoid other people, just move forward, and the speed is also very fast.

After running for a long time, he finally moved away from the others and also reached the depths of the mountain.

The light here is already dim.

He slowed down and carefully observed as he advanced, hoping to find the marks left by Yin Jiu Kill and the others.

Yin Jiu Kill is so cunning, he should know that he will find a way to come to save people, so Yin Jiu Kill should leave some marks in the mountain that only his own people can understand.

Hei Wuya likes to work on the inconspicuous things around conspicuous landmarks, so Qiu Guhan focuses on finding those things that are very conspicuous and easy to remember, and then looking for markers near them.

But he was disappointed.

He found a number of conspicuous markers, stone piles or large trees, but found no signs in the vicinity.

Then he pinched his face and smiled helplessly.

Yin Jiu Kill and the others took Feng Xiangkong to escape too late, how could they leave marks for him all over the mountains?

There is no mark, there are people everywhere, how can he find and contact Yin Jiu Killing?

As he went deeper, he put his fingers in his mouth and "chirp-chirp-" and learned to chirp.

He didn't think it was useful to learn bird calls, but since he couldn't call people out loud, he could only learn a few bird calls to vent his frustration.

Boom! A pine cone hit him on the head.

He touched his head and looked around: "Who hit me?" ”

Is it a squirrel? He looked up and saw a few squirrels skimming through the branches overhead, which was very cute.

"I'll hold you if you hit me again—" He glared at the squirrels.

"They didn't hit it." A gossamer voice came to his ears.

He was taken aback: "Here comes the dead? ”

In his opinion, Yin Jiu Kill is a dead person, but it looks a little better than ordinary dead and living people.

A man covered his face, as if suddenly growing out of a big tree, came out from behind a big tree: "What are you going to do?" ”

Even if this person covered his face, Qiu Guhan knew at a glance that it was Yin Jiu who killed him.

The temperament of Yin Nine Killing, which will turn into a black mist and dissipate at any time, is too suitable for this dark and gloomy environment, if it is night, it must be no different from a ghost.

It's a good thing to meet Yin Jiu Kill like this, but Qiu Gu has a cold face and no greetings: "I temporarily cooperate with Badian ......"

He spoke quickly about his dealings and plans with Badian.

After hearing this, Yin Jiu Kill immediately understood what to do, turned around and left: "You come with me." ”
