074 Tracking
In the former place of the salt department, all the thatched houses have been demolished, all the thatched grass and branches have been hastily burned by the stream, and the ground has long since grown lush weeds, and the whole settlement is no different from the surrounding jungle, as if no one has ever lived here.
However, the general Limu brought by Gongzi Yinglou quickly found traces of Yan Shan after pulling it out in the weeds.
He pointed to the tree that surrounded his mother's backyard and said, "Childe, this is a different tree with a salt department, they should have been away for more than a month." ”
Gongzi Yinglou slowly circled around the different tree, and then said with a little annoyance: "Hmph, I actually ran away!" ”
He was annoyed not that someone from the salt department had run away, but that the lost divine soldier was difficult to find.
He didn't pay attention to the dozens of people in the salt department, he came here just to find the divine soldiers, and now that the people are gone, who is he looking for to ask the clues of the divine soldiers?
He stood there thinking for a while with a gloomy face, and then ordered loudly: "All the squads, send four people out to search, first search the area within the half-day trip, and once you find the traces of wild boar-like beasts, report immediately." General Limu, you work hard, take the remaining ten people, build a tree house here, and we will settle down here first. ”
Under his order, fifty soldiers immediately divided into ten teams of four people, and quickly searched around, while the remaining ten people skillfully built a tree house under the leadership of Limu, and it didn't take long for a simple big tree house enough to accommodate more than ten people to be built, and the inside of the tree house was already covered with a layer of hay and a circle of animal skins.
At this time, Gongzi Yinglou did not forget to kindly explain to the young man sent by Cangwu to guide the way: "You take a rest here first, wait a while, and when the other tree houses are built, you can just pick one to live in." ”
After saying that, he hugged the young and beautiful girl and lowered his head into the simple big tree house.
This Xue Manbu is worthy of being the majority of the Southern Barbarians, and the "soldiers" it has trained are incomparable to the young and strong of ordinary small tribes, they are not only good at building temporary tree houses, hunting, and searching for the traces of strange beasts.
In less than half a day, a team of soldiers hurried back, ran to the outside of the tree house of Gongzi Yinglou, and said loudly: "Report, Gongzi, due east, I found the footprints of the strange beast mountain paste and the traces left by Sheng. ”
"Oh!"
Gongzi Yinglou's voice soon sounded, and he swooped out of the tree house, and said with a little surprise: "What did Katsu leave behind?" ”
The person who looked like the squad leader hurriedly took out a piece of cotton cloth with black and brown blood stains from his belt, and handed it to Gongzi Yinglou, and then explained: "This is the realm of the barbarian natives, and this kind of cotton cloth could not have appeared in the first place, there is only one possibility, this is from Sheng's clothes." ”
Gongzi Yinglou took the piece of cloth, looked at it carefully, and then nodded and said: "Well, yes, this should have fallen from Sheng's clothes, very good, your team, take a credit." Quick, light the wolf smoke, recall all squads. ”
When the squad leader heard this, he excitedly said yes, and then he gathered all the squad members, and gathered a large pile of dead branches in the open space in the camp, and at this time, someone had already lit the fire, he directly picked up the most vigorous firewood from the fire and stuffed it under the dead branches, and soon, the dead branches burned, he looked at the fire, and ordered people to pull several handfuls of grass to cover the fire, and the fire immediately came out of the billowing wolf smoke.
At this time, General Nalimu and the young and beautiful girl had also come out of their respective tree houses, but they did not speak, they just stood behind Gongzi Yinglou, looking at the billowing wolf smoke, waiting silently.
This wolf smoke rose into the air, even if people from more than ten miles away could see it, the people from other teams naturally saw it.
In less than an hour, a group of people came out of the woods one after another, and it was obvious that they were running all the way back from their panting appearance.
Gongzi Yinglou stood there with his hands in his hands, and when all the teams had arrived, he said majestically: "What else have you found?" ”
One of the squad leaders immediately arched his hand and said: "Report, there is a bamboo forest in the south-west direction, where we found traces left by the iron-eating beast, and the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest obviously have traces of being dug up, because we are afraid that the iron-eating beast will suddenly appear, we did not dare to go deep into the bamboo forest." ”
Gongzi Yinglou nodded slightly, and then said decisively: "Don't worry about the bamboo forest first, let's go to the place where we found the victory first, and everyone, come with me." ”
With that, he hurried due east, and the soldiers spontaneously divided into two groups, ran ahead of him, and quickly made a way for him.
Within an hour, Gongzi Yinglou led people to the oak forest where the wild boar king was located.
At this time, the huge pit trap dug by Zhao Hao and others had already been filled in by him, and outside the wild boar forest, there were obviously footprints left by the mountain paste of strange beasts, and the bones of Gongzi Sheng and his men were also scattered by him near the footprints of the mountain paste everywhere, of course, these still need to be found.
Gongzi Yinglou came to the footprints of a mountain ointment, squatted down, pulled out the weeds, and carefully identified them, and then said to Fu Hu, who was also squatting down on the side: "General Limu, look, this should be the footprints of the strange beast mountain ointment, right?" ”
Limu nodded slightly and said, "Well, this footprint is obviously larger and deeper than the footprints of other wild boar-like beasts, it should be mountain paste." ”
How did they know that these footprints were all carved by Zhao Hao with a wooden stake that was similar to the shape of a mountain paste hoof, and then pressed them on the ground one by one!
Gongzi Yinglou had already judged that there was a mountain paste here, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless, he stood up with a solemn face, pulled out the divine sword, and whispered: "General Limu, why don't we go in first and kill the mountain paste and then slowly search for the divine soldier?" ”
When Limu heard this, he hurriedly stood up, pulled out his divine knife, and said loudly: "It's just a mountain ointment, why do you need Gongzi to do it, Gongzi, you wait here, I'll hunt the mountain paste for you." ”
With that, he strode towards the oak forest with his sword.
That momentum is indeed like a master with a strength of more than 10,000 catties.
It's a pity that there is no mountain paste in the oak forest, only a row of footprints, stretching to the other end of the valley, and finally disappearing into the stream.
Limu searched the entire oak forest, but found nothing, so he had to return to Gongzi Yinglou, and said with regret on his face: "This mountain paste seems to have run away, and there is no trace of it in the woods, but there is a row of footprints that obviously extend from the other end, all the way out of the woods, and finally disappear into the stream." ”
When Gongzi Yinglou heard this, he was slightly surprised: "Oh, ran away? Forget it, everyone obeyed the order, immediately launched a search around, and searched for me carefully. ”
When the soldiers heard this, they quickly dispersed and searched carefully among the wild grasses outside the oak forest.
Soon, they found more than a dozen broken bones, but unfortunately, nothing else was found, not even a single rotting animal skin skirt.
Gongzi Yinglou naturally didn't believe that Pan's divine soldiers would run away on their own legs, so he immediately ordered all the soldiers to go into the oak forest and search carefully.
It's a pity that I searched until it was dark, but I still didn't find anything.
This seems to show that Gongzi Sheng and his party were killed by the Alien Beast Mountain Paste before they broke into the oak forest!
But what about the Divine Soldiers?
Can the alien beast mountain paste even take away the divine soldiers?
This is obviously impossible!
He stood there and thought for a while, then looked at the sky again, and then reluctantly ordered: "Everyone, follow me back to the camp." ”
