Chapter 1252: Brother Zhou, I'm sorry
Lu Yao, Guan Chinese and the others gathered together and quickly moved forward, among the four people, Guan Chinese was good at tracking techniques, and with him, the team's travel speed was also much faster.
After about half an hour of chasing, traces of a fight gradually appeared on the ground, but, judging from the traces of these fights, the situation seemed to be gradually developing in a bad direction.
"Master Lu, the situation may have developed in a direction we don't want to see, do you have any plans next?" Guan Chinese squatted down to check the traces left on the ground, looked solemn, glanced at Lu Yao, and asked.
"Brother Guan, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the fifth brother and the sixth brother should be chased by these people in a direction they envisioned, if the four of us chase together, obviously the speed can't keep up, it is better for me and Fourth Brother Du to take the first step, and strive to find the fifth brother and the sixth brother before them, so maybe we still have room for maneuver!" Lu Yao said what he thought.
"Well, it looks like that's all I can do now!" Guan Chinese thought about it and felt that Lu Yao's proposal was the best choice at present, and there was no pretension.
The four reached an agreement and quickly divided the labor, Lu Yao and Du Tao took the lead, and Guan Chinese and Lu Yan continued to move forward while making marks along the way.
Soon after Lu Yao and Du Tao set off, Lu Yan had just finished making a mark and was about to get up and chase forward, when suddenly, Guan Chinese stopped her and asked, "Seventh sister, what do you think of the strength of the four of them?" ”
"Big brother, why do you ask that?" Lu Yan asked puzzled.
"Don't ask, answer me first!" Guan Chinese said lightly.
Lu Yan groaned for a moment and replied, "Among the four, Lu Yao seems to be the youngest, but in fact, his strength should be the highest and unfathomable. ”
"Big brother, you may not know that Lu Yao is not only amazing in martial arts, but he also has a deep study of alchemy and mechanism techniques, if it weren't for him along the way, I'm afraid we wouldn't have found you so quickly!"
"Oh?"
"He's also proficient in mechanics and alchemy?"
"Oh no, oh no!"
Suddenly, Guan Chinese's face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to explain, his figure turned into a lightning bolt and galloped forward quickly.
Although Lu Yan didn't understand why Guan Chinese had these problems, let alone what he meant by the last sentence that was bad, she still chased after it as quickly as possible.
In this way, a chase drama in the fog was staged.
……
……
"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, we are also acting on orders, so we have to wronged you for a while!"
Two figures flickered on a boulder on the outskirts of Tiger Roaring Ridge closest to the mountain pass, and on a towering tree behind them, a man was tied to a specially treated rope.
At this moment, although the two people succeeded, there was not the slightest smugness in their expressions, but there was obvious apology, and even one of the shorter men did not dare to look directly at the man who was bound.
"Brother Zhou, we will definitely do our best to complete this mission, but you may not know that we have another very important thing to do while completing the task, and you must not allow you to stop this matter, please be aggrieved here for a while, and when the matter is done, we will naturally let the four of you leave!" A man said apologetically.
At this moment, the man who was tied up slowly raised his head and glanced at the two people opposite, there was no slightest emotional fluctuation in his expression, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Okay, I remember you!"
At this time, only the three of them were here, if Lu Yao, Lan Jing or Lan Wenwen were any one present, they would be able to recognize these three people at a glance as Guan Xuewen, Chen Bingxin and Zhou Xiang, who were the first group of pathfinders, and it was none other than Lan Jing's senior brother Zhou Xiang who was tied to the book.
"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry!" Chen Bingxin was the man who was a little shorter, at this moment, he slowly looked up at Zhou Xiang, who was not angry and arrogant, and said in a stammering voice: "My formation will not hurt you in the slightest, you will suffer here for a while, and when our brother finishes his business, he will come back and let you go!" ”
"Sixth brother, hurry up, we don't have much time!" Guan Xuewen on the side urged.
When the words fell, I saw Chen Bingxin take out a small white cloth bag from behind him, quickly took out a few talismans from it and pasted them on Zhou Xiang's body, and then took out a few pieces of carved jade with a very delicate and strange shape and put them around him, after doing all this, Zhou Xiang only saw a faint purple mist in front of him, and then, all the scenery in front of him changed, and he couldn't even see his feet.
No one expected that such a thing would happen here, Lu Yao and Du Tao were still chasing after each other.
Suddenly, Lu Yao stopped abruptly.
His eyes looked at a boulder on the right like eagle eyes, and a hint of suspicion flashed across his face.
"Master Lu, what's wrong?" Du Tao didn't understand why Lu Yao stopped, turned around and asked.
"It's nothing, I just think it's a little weird here, it seems to have a very familiar smell!" Lu Yao's expression changed uncertainly, and he said lightly.
"Familiar smell?" Du Tao asked: "There is nothing here but this big rock, is there still a ghost?" ”
"Maybe I'm feeling wrong!" Lu Yao paused and said, "Forget it, let's hurry!" ”
After Lu Yao finished speaking, he rushed out with an arrow step, but he ran out of half a mile, and from time to time he looked back in the direction he had before.
……
……
In this way, after chasing for almost a quarter of an hour, finally, Lu Yao and Du Tao saw two real figures, and Du Tao shouted directly: "Fifth brother, sixth brother, is it you?" ”
"Fourth brother, is that you?"
The two figures in front of them visibly slowed down and responded.
Hearing this answer, Du Tao's face was overjoyed, he glanced at Lu Yao, and said, "It's really them, let's hurry up!" ”
After that, Du Tao rushed out directly, but Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, and then chased after him.
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, are you all right?" After Du Tao caught up with the two, he asked with concern.
"We're fine, why are you here?" Guan Xuewen glanced at the two of them, his expression was full of joy, but he still asked.
"You have been gone for so long and have not been seen, the eldest brother and I came out to look for you, and then I met Lu Gongzi and the seventh sister who also came, and saw the traces of the fight on the ground, I am afraid that something will happen to you, I and Lu Gongzi will take the first step, as long as you are okay!" Du Tao said in one breath.
"We're fine, it's just that we're in some trouble and we're delayed!" Guan Xuewen replied.
Lu Yao saw that the brothers had finished speaking, glanced at Guan Xuewen and Chen Bingxin, and said, "What about Brother Zhou?" ”
"That's right, fifth brother, sixth brother, didn't you set off with Zhou Gongzi, why didn't you see Zhou Gongzi?" Du Tao also found that Zhou Xiang was not there at this time and asked.
"This ......" "We ......"
Du Tao saw that Guan Xuewen and Chen Bingxin were both stumbling and did not have a clear answer, and asked: "What happened to you, you guys are talking!" ”
"Fourth brother, Master Lu, don't worry!" Guan Xuewen looked at Lu Yao and said, "We came to explore the road and encountered a strange thing, and we caught up with curiosity for a while, but I didn't know how to do it, and suddenly there was a strange fog, and the two of us and Zhou Gongzi were separated!" ”
"Separated?"
"Yes, we're scattered in the fog!"
"Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and find it!" Du Tao saw that Lu Yao's face became ugly, and hurriedly said: "Lu Gongzi, don't worry, Zhou Gongzi's cultivation is profound, there shouldn't be anything, we will go to him now, I believe we can definitely find him!" ”
"Hmm!"
Lu Yao said lightly, turned around and ran out towards Lu Fei when he came.
However, not long after running out, I met Guan Chinese and Lu Yan head-on.
"Master Lu, why are you running back?" Lu Yan was puzzled and asked.
"Brother Zhou and they are separated, I felt a familiar smell when I passed by a boulder before, I want to go back and see it again!" Lu Yao didn't hide it and replied.
"Zhou Gongzi is separated?"
"Hmm!"
Lu Yao was just about to leave, but he was pulled by Guan Chinese and said, "Young Master Lu, you can't go back like this!" ”
"And what do you mean?" Lu Yao asked.
"Although I am not familiar with Zhou Gongzi, but what I am best at is tracking, under normal circumstances, I can remember the unique smell of that person when I meet someone for the first time, along the way, although I also found the breath left by Zhou Gongzi, but I think Zhou Gongzi should not be behind us, in order to find Zhou Gongzi as soon as possible, I think we should go forward, not backward!"
While Guan Chinese was speaking, Du Tao, Guan Xuewen and Chen Bingxin also chased after him.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
"Fifth and sixth, what the hell is going on, why did you get separated from Zhou Gongzi?" Guan Chinese answered, and then asked.
Guan Xuewen said the previous words again.
"Does the strange thing you are talking about have a faint scent of jasmine on it?" After listening to Chinese, he hurriedly asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, ever since I encountered it, I asked for a faint smell of jasmine!" Guan Xuewen nodded again and again.
"That's right, this should be what we're looking for this time!" Guan Chinese is amazing.
"Is this the thing?"
Lu Yao was puzzled.
"Yes, this strange smell was mentioned in the last distress signal sent by the expedition, and I think we should be about to find it!" Guan Chinese nodded and said.
"Then what are we waiting for, keep chasing, maybe if we find it, we will be able to find Zhou Gongzi!" Guan Xuewen and Du Tao said in unison.
"Chase!"
Guan Chinese quickly made a decision, and he, Guan Xuewen, Du Tao, and Chen Bingxin continued to chase forward, and no one even looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao didn't catch up, but stood in place with a solemn expression.
