Chapter 748: A Dead Breath
"If it were me, I would definitely take advantage of the location to attack and kill the pursuing assassins, and only after inflicting heavy damage on the assassins can I have a chance of survival. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Le Sheng was stunned, as if she was a little surprised by Li Luo's death, and asked blankly, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Li Luo smiled bitterly and said, "We can only try our luck and see if God can help us." ”
"This!?"
Li Luo replied helplessly: "The mountain is hundreds of miles in radius, it is not big, it is not small, although I can guess the road they chose to enter the mountain, it depends on the will of heaven whether they can find it." ”
Le Sheng snorted and replied softly: "Just do your best, Lingfeng is reckless, planting bitter fruits for the Wanhua Courtyard, and I can't complain about others." ”
Li Luo's expression was cold, he discerned the direction of the wind, and said indifferently: "Let's go, after entering the mountain, you have to follow me closely, remember not to be alone." ”
The two of them said no more and walked towards the belly of the mountain. Although Li Luo and Zhai Liaoyu learned some methods of tracking and finding traces, they were only scratching the surface, but fortunately, they relied on their thoughts and speculated on the way of Wanhua Courtyard into the mountain, and stopped and stopped, hoping to meet the person who escaped from King An's Mansion as soon as possible.
The night was deep, the sky was clear, and the stars were dotted. Li Luo climbed a dangerous peak, looking around, if he could see the fire at night, maybe it could be the traces left by his predecessors.
Le Shang sat quietly beside Li Luo, looking around, the verdant eyes were also shrouded in the hazy night, I couldn't see it really, I could only see the shadows of the mountains in the distance, it seemed that someone was waiting for Li Luo and Le Shang, and there was a chill in my heart for no reason.
Li Luo calmed down, as if he had turned into a rock, and he didn't move for a minute. Le Shang squatted for a long time, and was just about to get up, when suddenly Li Luo shouted: "There seems to be a smell of smoke and dust in the wind." ”
Le Sheng was shocked and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
Li Luo carefully distinguished for a moment, pointed to the southwest depths of the mountain, and said in a condensed voice: "Over there!" ”
Le Shang looked in the direction Li Luo pointed, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, so he sniffed hard, but he didn't smell any smoke.
Li Luochang took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Instead of sitting down, it's better to go over there and take a look, go." With that, the two of them jumped down the mountain and hid themselves to the southwest corner of the mountain.
The road in the mountains is not very far from the peak, but it takes a long time to walk.
Li Luo and the two were silent and ran with their heads buried in their heads. In the early morning of the next day, the valley lit up, and the scenery seen along the way was very beautiful, with ancient trees and strange stones lining up left and right, and the humidity in the forest was still a little heavy, but the air was very fresh, and the smell was intoxicating.
The morning light spreads through the dense forest branches and leaves overhead, and there is some psychedelic beauty.
It's just that Li Luo and Le Sheng had no intention of lingering here, carefully checking all over the forest to see if there would be any clues.
"There's a footprint here!" Leshang whispered.
Li Luo flashed over, and sure enough, there were half footprints on the ground, and the traces of stepping on them were still very new, and they must have stayed here for the past few days.
Li Luo's heart was relieved, he took a long breath, glanced at Le Sheng approvingly, didn't say much, and followed him.
As long as you see a trace, it is much easier to track it, and you don't have to wander around in the forest without a clue.
After walking forward for an hour, Li Luo and Le Sheng suddenly stopped, this time not only Li Luo smelled the smell of smoke and dust, but also Le Sheng smelled it clearly.
The two glanced at each other, stepped up their steps and floated over quietly.
Turning a mountain cliff, Li Luo stabilized his figure, Le Sheng glanced ahead, exclaimed, and hurriedly covered his mouth, looking at the valley not far away in shock.
It is a relatively flat valley with a stream in front of the valley with rice paddies and a small village with dozens of families on the side of the hill.
Originally, when I suddenly saw such a village in the mountains, it must have been very peaceful and peaceful, but at this time, it was almost the same as the Abi Hell.
None of the houses on the hillside were left intact, all of them were staggered and dilapidated, and some of them were eroded by the flames, blackened and withered.
Le Shang turned his head to look at Li Luo, Li Luo's face was not different, but his eyebrows raised involuntarily.
Le Shang gritted his teeth and swept out of the village not far away.
Li Luo swept his eyes, the valley was very quiet, the quiet was a little weird, he couldn't hear the barking of chickens and dogs, and he couldn't see any living creatures, so he followed behind Le Sheng unhurriedly, concentrating on vigilance.
When he got closer, Le Xiang's eyes were red, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "These thieves! ”
There were no people in the valley, and there were no dead bodies, but everywhere they passed, whether it was chickens and ducks, or hunting dogs guarding the yards, even cattle and sheep could not escape, and they were all killed on the spot.
The smell of blood is very strong, and it also has the smell of livestock, maybe the valley is not airtight, and it has not dissipated at this time, which makes people sick to their stomachs.
Although I didn't see the corpses of the villagers, just looking at the situation in front of me, it must have been more than lucky.
Le Shang was sad, she was originally cold, but she didn't know why she was with Li Luo these days, and her mood seemed to have regressed a lot, and she was prone to turbulence.
"There's blood here, they're coming this way." On the left side of the valley, Li Luo called softly.
Le Sheng suppressed the hatred in her heart, leaned over, and did not check the bloodstains in Li Luo's mouth, but looked at Li Luo intently, and asked astringently, "Are you all like this?" ”
Li Luo sighed secretly and said lightly: "The opportunity is fleeting, we can't help but be sad on the battlefield, if we want to save people, we don't have time to think nonsense." After that, he stopped looking at the sad and indignant look in Le Xiang's eyes, and chased him away.
This is a very narrow valley in the southwest hinterland of the mountain, with cliffs on both sides, and it seems that a large mountain has been broken through and meandered away by the achievements of heaven and earth.
At the end of the valley is also a cliff, more than 100 zhang high, up and down are hideous rocks, if it is a man, even an ape can hardly settle, it is a place of death.
At the end of the canyon, under the broken wall.
At the bottom of the cliff is a natural karst cave, and the stream flows out of the stone cave smartly, which is somewhat similar to the valley where Li Luo and Le Sheng live in Ping Mountain. However, the cave here is much higher, about two feet up and down, and the entrance of the cave is dark, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.
Outside the stone cave, there were eight black-clothed masked people, wrapped in black cloth from head to toe, unable to see their appearances, and dozens of embarrassed civilians were lying at their feet, looking at the clothes as if they were villagers in the village behind them.
One of them was richly dressed, with a rich face, and his hair was gray, but now his hair was in a disheveled bun, and he was draped over his shoulders, and his expression was not so alarmed, and his waist was very straight, and he was quite proud.
