Volume II, Lost in the Sand Sea Chapter 163, Tracking

"Lord Sock, that guy ran away!" The other guard shouted, raised his rifle and fired a few shots at the black thin man who was running in the distance, but there were stout trees everywhere, and the black thin man was hiding between the trunks, and all the bullets hit the trees.

The black thin man ran fast in front, always picking the thick part of the trunk, and this guard also saw that this man's previous injuries were all pretended, and he was not shot at all.

"Lord Thorke!" The guard was a little anxious, shouted a few more words to Sock behind him, and was about to chase after him with his gun, but was stopped by Soke.

"Stop chasing, wait for Lord Barlow and them to come over."

"But he ran away! If you don't chase it, it's too late! "The guard looked very young, and he looked very impatient between his eyebrows.

If the black thin man runs away, it's all his responsibility.

"It's fine." Thork gritted his toothpick and patted the young guard on the shoulder, reached for his gun, and fired a few shots into the woods where the thin black man had fled, and threw the gun back into the young guard's hand.

"Wait."

On the other side, Chen Tao and the others had just walked out not far when gunshots rang out behind them, and everyone's faces changed, and they all picked up their guns and ran back.

"What's going on?" Chen Tao looked at this dense forest vigilantly, and wondered in his heart, could it be that Ou Rankke and the others left here could not be ambushed?

For soon returned to the place where they were separated, at this time Soke was sullenly biting the toothpick in his mouth, and the young guard on the side was holding a gun in his arms, his head was lowered on his chest, as if he had done something wrong, and when he saw Chen Tao and Balohad coming, his head couldn't help but lower lower.

"What's going on?" Balohad asked Sock.

"The man ran away!" Sok looked depressed, gritting his toothpick and looking at Balohad with a strange expression.

"How can you let him run away!" Haozi asked on the side.

"Run, run, I heard gunshots just now, Brother Sock, are you okay?" Chen Tao was also a little anxious, coming out of the maca maze, their losses were already not small, and Chen Tao didn't want anyone to die or be injured.

"We're fine, thank you, Brother Chen Tao." Soke smiled at Chen Tao, turned his head and asked Balohard, "Lord Ballow, I don't understand, why did you let him go?" ”

Balohad didn't speak, looked into the depths of the dense forest in the distance and smiled,

"I said it would be useful to keep him."

"Could it be....... Did you let him go on purpose? Chen Tao looked at it a little incomprehensibly.

"En......." Ballohad nodded, "This matter is thanks to Miss Ye Rong." ”

"Ye Rong?" Chen Tao looked at Ye Rong beside him suspiciously, and said in his heart that this girl is really unpredictable, when did she hook up with Balohad again?

"Actually, it's nothing........ Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ye Rong was a little embarrassed and said, "Look at this!" ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a small instrument from her pocket, the size of a slap.

"This is the location tracker I brought, when I gave him water before, I quietly put the tracker on his body, you see......."

Ye Rong put the screen of the location tracker in front of everyone's eyes.

When the program opened its eyes and looked closely, it was full of dense small grids and numbers, and at this time, a small flickering red dot was moving slowly on it at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"He knows our whereabouts, and after he escapes, he will definitely go to Bruno and report to them, and if we follow him, we will be able to find Bruno and them." Ye Rong pointed to the small red dot on the display screen.

"Bruno is more familiar with this place than I am, and if we just keep looking blindly, it's hard to find them before sunrise, and with this man leading the way, we'll be much faster." Balohad nodded.

"I see, Lord Barlow is wise!" That's when Sock understood.

When Balohard patted him on the shoulder and asked him to let go of the black thin man, he had been hesitating, but fortunately he was not impulsive, but listened to Balohard's way to let the man go, otherwise it would really be a big deal for them.

"He's going in that direction!" Ye Rong looked at the screen of the location tracker and stretched out her hand in one direction, "This person is very cunning, and he is still going around in circles." ”

"It's okay, just let him run, let's not startle the snake."

With a wave of his hand, Balohad set off again in the same direction they had returned, but the pace was deliberately slowed down.

Chen Tao followed Ye Rong and watched the changes on the location tracker with her. Although Chen Tao couldn't understand it, he had only come out somewhat, and those squares and numbers should be the geographical location of the black thin man.

Judging from the instrument, after the black finger ran out, he first stopped in one place for a while, probably hiding behind a certain magic willow to see if Sok had chased after him.

After that, according to the display on the instrument, this person did not go directly to O'Rank, Bruno and others, but wandered around here for a long time, and the route he took looked chaotic and winding, but Chen Tao saw clearly on the instrument that this person was gradually moving away from them.

Chen Tao looked at the little red dot on the instrument, and said in his heart that this black thin man was really cunning, and he really didn't look at him wrong before. He was circling around in this way, on the one hand, to get rid of the pursuers behind, and on the other hand, to keep an eye on whether anyone was following.

Ye Rong looked at the instrument while pointing out the direction to everyone, quietly approaching the direction of the black thin man's escape, and deliberately kept a certain distance from him.

At this time, everyone had already walked far in the Forest of the Dead, and it was dark late in the northwest, and although the sun had set in the west, it had not set so quickly.

In addition to watching out for the person who escaped, everyone also had to watch out for danger in the Forest of the Dead.

There was a deathly silence around me, so quiet that I could even hear my own heartbeat.

"Taozi, don't you think this place is a little too quiet, it's a little scary to be quiet." Haozi also carried a gun, and asked in a suppressed voice by Chen Tao's side, as if he didn't even dare to speak loudly now.

"You found out too?" Chen Tao nodded in response, "It's too quiet....... It's as if it didn't exist. ”

It stands to reason that although this is a desert, it was once an oasis, and no matter how desolate it is, there should always be a desert-specific creature such as snakes, insects, lizards, etc.

Not to mention snakes, not even desert ants can be seen.

"That man, he's changed direction again!" Ye Rong's voice suddenly came.

"The old fox of Tern's Ou Rank, even his subordinates are not good birds." Sock muttered as he spoke.

"I don't think it's appropriate, if this guy is running around, then aren't we being led into the ditch by a headless fly?" Chen Tao asked Balohad with a worried face, "Are you sure he is going in the right direction?" ”

"Don't worry, that guy will definitely go to Eurank." Balohad nodded, and said with an affirmative look in his eyes: "Bruno, these people are very strange, I don't know what kind of method they use. We've captured O'Rank's men alive before and taken them far away from him, but these people are telepathic, and no matter where you take them, his men will always find Orank, like ants returning home. ”

"That's really evil!" Chen Tao was also a little surprised: "I heard that Tatunan is an extremely mythical country, and it knows a lot of magical magic and witchcraft, which is really unimaginable."

"I've thought about these questions, the generations have changed, and Tatunaan is no longer there, but many of the legendary witchcraft and miracles are true. It's a pity that many witch spells are in the hands of the great wizard, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know about them. And over time, many of the methods have disappeared along with Tatunaan. Ballohad looked solemn, and in his heart, Tatunaan was everything.

The sun had sunk to the western horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun had stained the sky a blood-red red like a blooming orange-red rose.

The little red dot on the instrument is also faster than before. Chen Tao and Balohad followed closely behind him, always maintaining a certain distance. Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger, and the Forest of the Dead was still so quiet that it seemed like some had fallen into eternal silence here.

In the Forest of the Dead, the strange canopy of large and small trees above their heads blocked most of the sunlight, and Chen Tao and the others walked below, and their vision was basically blocked by the trunks of different thicknesses. As the sun goes lower and lower, the surrounding light gradually becomes dim, and visibility is very limited.

Balohad had everyone light their torches, and small dots of light lit up in the dark Forest of the Necronomins, and from a distance, they looked like jumping ghost fires swaying in the air. The crowd lined up in a long line, shuttling in pairs and in pairs through the dimly lit forest of the dead, like a few meters long insect scurrying across the sand.

"Oh no, he's running!" Ye Rong, who was holding the location tracker, suddenly screamed, and the torch jumped to see her, reflecting her delicate face.

Hearing Ye Rong's shout, Chen Tao hurriedly looked at the instrument screen in her hand.

At this time, the speed of the small red dot in the screen is significantly faster, and the speed is amazing.

"Did he find us?" Chen Tao's face changed, and he turned his head to look at Balohard. It was no darker than the day, and the light of their torches was so conspicuous in the darkness that it was not surprising that they were discovered by that man.

"No, probably not, there is still some distance between us, and besides, there are so many trees in the Forest of the Dead that he can't see ours. Unless......." Balohad looked at the fast-moving red dot on the screen and said, "That man doesn't have a torch, he shouldn't be so fast in the dark, unless there are two possibilities......."

"What is possible?" Haozi asked on the side.

Balohard looked at the crowd: "One possibility is that he has already found Bruno and O'Rank, but according to the time, their positions cannot be so close." Then there's another possibility......."

Balohad visioned for a week, and the hand holding the torch tightened: "Something terrible may have happened in the Forest of the Dead, that man is in danger and he is fleeing for his life!" ”
