Along the way, Shen Shu followed Chu Yi's side, and the more he walked into the depths of the lock forest, the more intense the inexplicable familiarity in his heart became.

Until she heard the Shadow Guard's report and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the ugly hour had passed, the moon shadow was slanting westward, and the north-south stream was like a winding giant snake, flowing out of the dense forest in the distance.

At the end of the other side of the stream, a narrow valley entrance can be seen.

The shadow guard who came back to report was from near the entrance.

Shen Shu looked at the entrance, frowning slightly.

She always felt that the entrance felt both familiar and strange to her.

"Have you ever explored the valley?" Chu Yi asked.

Shadow Guard: "The entrance to the valley is blocked by a rocky wall that has collapsed, so you can't get inside. ”

Chu Yi's eyes were slightly dark.

He sighed for a few breaths, looked at Shen Shu and asked, "Does the girl know where the Venerable Master lives?" ”

Shen Shu came back to his senses from the distant valley and shook his head honestly.

"I can only see my tutor when he is out of the forest, and I don't know where he lives in the forest."

She said, paused, and with a vague feeling in her mind, pointed to the direction of the downstream of the stream: "I only know...... It leads to the Evergreen Mountain Range, which can be regarded as the exit of the Suoguan Forest, and it shouldn't be over there. ”

When Chu Yi heard this, he gestured to Ying Wei's eyes.

Shadow Guard is about to follow the stream upstream to explore the way-

"Wait." Shen Shu hesitated for a moment, and then instructed: "You only go to the mouth of the forest, if you don't find any marks, turn back first, don't rush into the forest." ”

Hearing this, Ying Wei looked up at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi bowed slightly.

When the shadow guard left, Shen Shu turned his head, pointed to the valley mouth on the opposite bank and said to Chu Yi: "Lord Feng, I want to go there to have a look, is it okay?" ”

Chu Yi looked at Shen Shu's already muddy shoes under his cloak: "I'll take the girl over." ”

Shen Shugang wanted to say that she could-

Suddenly felt a tightness on the side of his waist, and the whole person was lifted up by the man with one hand in the air and swept towards the other side of the stream!

Shen Shu was startled, turned around reflexively, and put her hands on the man's shoulders.

Feeling her movements, Chu Yi stretched out his other hand to support her suspended other half of her body.

This was originally a subconscious action not to let Shen Shu fall, but because of the cloak, it seemed that Shen Shu was deliberately held in his arms.

With a shallow soapy body temperature around her body, and such a situation where her feet were hanging in the air, Shen Shu's whole body froze, and she didn't know how to deal with it at all.

Until she felt her feet hit the ground, she hurriedly let go of the man's shoulders and took a few steps back.

"Thank you, sir." She curtsied.

Chu Yi bowed lightly: "With a show of hands, the girl doesn't have to be polite." ”

After saying this, he walked ahead first and flew towards Taniguchi.

Shen Shu calmed down, and also performed ten smoke steps, following closely.

After a cup of tea, the group arrived at the mouth of the valley.

It wasn't until standing in front of the stone wall at the mouth of the valley that Shen Shu was surprised to find -

Although from a distance, this valley mouth can accommodate two or three people passing side by side.

But in fact, two feet away from the mouth of the valley, there is a corner, and the road behind the corner, between the two cliffs, is extremely narrow, and can only be passed by one person.

At this moment, a pile of boulders is blocked at the narrowest valley mouth.

Even with a man's skills, it is difficult to leap past with light skills.

Shen Shu frowned slightly, and took a few more steps towards the stone wall.

There was a faint, faint smell wafting out of the crack in the stone and burrowing into the tip of her nose!

It's the smell of sulfur after burning!

Shen Shu's heart sank.

She is naturally sensitive to medicinal smells.

Sulfur is not only medicine, it can also be made into gunpowder after special processing!

As far as she knew, the Flying Fire Army led by Daddy was best at using gunpowder to make flying fire bombs and attack the enemy army.

If her guess was correct, this canyon should be an ambush point laid by Daddy in advance!

Use the "Medicine Gong" to lead the trackers into the valley, block the road with boulders, and then attack them with fire to ensure that the enemy has no return!

Thinking of this, Shen Shu reached out and touched the stone wall, and a damp touch came from her fingertips.

She was under the cloak, and quietly twisted the ground with her toes—

The dirt is slightly muddy.

Apparently there was a rain here not long ago.

Shen Shu's heart suddenly changed.

The cliff wall at the mouth of the valley blocked the moonlight, and the rain was just right to cover up the smell of the valley.

It's no wonder that the shadow guards who explored the path didn't find any clues.

"What did the girl find?"

At this moment, Chu Yi's voice came into Shen Shu's ears.

Shen Shu's scalp tightened, and she tried her best to keep her tone calm: "No, it's a dead end." ”

With that, she turned and walked back towards the creek.

Shen Shu walked, her mind was spinning fast-

If Daddy attacks with fire and uses the geographical advantages of this canyon as an ambush, no matter how powerful the other party is, he will inevitably die.

In this game, it seems that Daddy should have won now.

However, if the other party is really wiped out in the valley, I am afraid that Daddy will also invisibly offend people who should not be offended.

That's the most troublesome thing.

What's more, they didn't find any traces of Daddy out of the valley along the way.

After thinking that Daddy led people to ambush the enemy in the valley, he had found another way to leave.

Five full hours have passed, and Daddy is afraid that something will go wrong. The top priority is to find Daddy first before he can act on the opportunity.

Chu Yi looked at Shen Shu's pretended calm back, and his sword eyebrows moved slightly.

He reached out and touched the stone wall, then squatted down and touched the ground, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"Leave someone to check this wall."

Chu Yi finished ordering in a deep voice, took a step, and walked towards Shen Shu.

He had just walked to the stream—

I saw that Shen Shu had already rolled up her cloak, and between the bare stones of the stream, she jumped a few times, but the water was not touched, and she jumped to the opposite bank.

Chu Yi's jaw is slightly tight: ......

Shen Shu, who was standing on the other side of the stream, noticed Chu Yi's gaze on those stones.

When Chu Yi flew over, Shen Shu's expression was calm, and he bent his knees to confess to him.

From childhood to adulthood, she walked with her third brother inside and outside the gates, almost always dressed as men.

Including the third brother, although her family loves her and spoils her, they will not spoil her too much.

If she can do it independently, she is used to doing it herself.

Of course, when she needs help, she will not hesitate to ask for help from someone she trusts.

Now in this dangerous lock forest, Shen Shu knew that he and this man were only temporary allies.

She hadn't forgotten that this man had an extraordinary relationship with the people who were tracking Daddy.

If he meets Daddy later, what will be the reaction of this Lord Feng when he learns about the valley, Shen Shu does not know.

Until then, it is best for her to keep her distance from him as much as possible.

Shen Shu just straightened up, and the shadow guard who had gone upstream to explore the path had already flown back.

He knelt on the ground and reported to Chu Yi: "Master, there is no mark left by Ying Wu ahead. It's just that...... There was something strange about the forest, and the villain seemed to hear the screams of wild beasts. ”
