Chapter 221: Uninvited Guest
In the process of approaching the Purple Bamboo Forest, Fengyun adopted a series of methods to conceal his whereabouts and prevent the enemy from discovering his existence.
He wanted to gather more information.
In the distance, although with the help of the Snake God's Vision, he obtained a lot of first-hand information, but for some situations, he still did not understand and needed to get close to reconnoitre.
Besides, now was not the best time for him to attack the enemy, at least before he did, to meet the witch to find out the situation and see if they could cooperate with each other.
In order to maximize his destructive power, accurate and detailed intelligence and cooperation with friendly forces are very important.
As for how to meet the witch, Fengyun is not worried.
Previously, Mulanozhi had already told him about the secret passage to the Baicao Tribe, and he had personally walked through it, so there was no problem at all in sneaking into the Baicao tribe.
Of course, he may have to take some risks.
Now, outside the Purple Bamboo Forest is already the world of the Black Crow King and his men.
However, Fengyun was not worried that the secret passage would be discovered by the Crow King, and even he and his men would deliberately avoid it.
Knife ants are very fierce, and once they invade its territory, they will attack regardless of whether you are a Razor or not.
Besides, the Crow King didn't know that the anthill of the sword ants was a secret passage, so there was no need to fight them for this purpose and grab the territory, anyway, the place was big, and there was no place to stay.
Approaching the anthill, Fengyun found that his prediction was correct, there was no one around it at all, and there was no sign of anyone coming.
Fengyun still didn't rush over immediately, but looked around, and even finally urged the eye of the snake god.
He didn't dare to be careless.
The witch and Magnoirie would tell him the secret passage out of trust in him. He can't afford to live up to that trust.
What's more, this secret passage is too important for the Baicao tribe, especially the Baicao tribe at this moment.
Now it and its reinforcements can compete with the army led by the Raven King, and a large part of the reason is that the existence of the Purple Bamboo Forest has slowed down the enemy's pace.
If the Raven King knew about the existence of the secret passage, he would definitely choose to infiltrate the Baicao tribe from it.
In this battle. The Baicao tribe and its reinforcements were already at a disadvantage, and if they were infiltrated by the enemy, a surprise sneak attack from the inside would definitely be defeated.
After confirming that there was indeed no one around, Fengyun took out the medicinal powder that Mulanozhi gave him and sprinkled some on his body, trying not to let it fall to the ground.
If the powder falls on the spot, it is easy to leave traces and may leak the location of the secret passage. In addition, Magnozhi's medicinal powder for him is relatively small, so he needs to use it sparingly.
With the help of medicinal powder, he successfully deceived the ant colony, and Fengyun came to the opening of the anthill, that is, the mouth of the secret passage, but before entering the secret passage, he deliberately looked around.
He came to the secret passage and made his way quickly. After a short time, they came to the other end of the secret passage.
Before opening the secret door. Fengyun listened attentively first, but did not find any suspicious sounds, and then walked out.
Fengyun looked around and found that the surroundings were very quiet, and there were hardly any people to be seen.
He nodded, everyone should have gone to fight the people of the Raven King.
Suddenly he frowned.
He found that he had a problem.
He entered the Hundred Grass Tribe through a secret passage in preparation for meeting the witch. How to meet her now became a problem for him.
Of course, he could go directly to her, and he believed that it would not be difficult for him to find her, but that would pose a very big problem.
How to eliminate the suspicions of the reinforcements of the Baicao tribe and most of the people of the Baicao tribe about him, he appeared so suddenly. It's so suspicious.
What's even worse is that there are spies planted by the Raven King among the reinforcements, and they will definitely find a way to tell him this suspicion.
After he learned about it, would he suspect that the Baicao tribe had a secret passage to connect with the outside world?
Once he suspects, even if he can't think of the secret passage mouth hiding in the anthill, he will definitely increase the search and patrol efforts, and it will be much more difficult to enter and exit through the secret passage, and he will have to take a lot of risks.
After thinking about it, he didn't find a way to get the best of both worlds.
After some weighing, Fengyun decided to sneak into the witch's residence first, and if she came back to rest, he could see her.
Even if she didn't come back, he could wait until the evening to look for her.
After Fengyun entered the small building where the witch lived, he didn't have anything to do, so he didn't feel a little bored, so he opened the leather scrolls where the drawings were drawn and looked at them.
The Wind and Cloud Skin Scroll not only records the contents related to medicinal herbs and medicine, but also some other contents, including the origin of the Baicao tribe.
After reading it, Fengyun realized that the Baicao tribe was not the native tribe of Lei Ze, but an outsider.
It was originally founded by a woman from out of town, but unfortunately, he didn't see much about this woman, the ancestor of the Baicao tribe.
Where did she come from, what was her identity before coming to Razor, and why did she come to Razor...... There is no record of it, but it is said that her medical skills are very good.
In Fengyun's opinion, she should be deliberately covering up her past.
What supports his suspicion is that, in addition to the above unreasonableness, there is also a very strong evidence,
In the scrolls, her face is always blurred, not too old, the drawings have been eroded, and the characters who are on the picture at the same time as her are clearly recognizable.
The only reasonable explanation for this is that she did it on purpose.
This couldn't help but make Fengyun curious about the ancestor of the Baicao Tribe, but it was just curiosity.
What she wanted to do was her business, he was just an outsider.
Besides, even if he knew the truth, what could he do to meet her?
She didn't know how many years she had been dead, and now I'm afraid the bones didn't exist.
The leather scroll that records the ancestor of the Baicao tribe was re-rolled, tied up, put it back in its original place, and picked up the other scrolls to continue reading.
However, after discovering that the content was about the Baicao tribe, he would mostly put them back in their place and select some scrolls that recorded herbs and medical techniques to read.
He was looking at these scrolls to pass the time, and if he had been reading the content about the Baicao tribe, he would inevitably feel that some of them were snooping on his privacy.
Compared with words, pictures can carry much less information and are more intuitive, so they can see Fengyun very quickly.
Before he knew it, he had already looked at almost half of the scrolls on the shelf.
Just as he had finished reading the contents of a picture scroll, tied it up, and put it back in its place, and was about to go to get a new one, he suddenly heard a movement from the direction of the door, as if someone was about to open it.
"The witch is back?"
Fengyun was overjoyed and was about to walk outside the house, but he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the place where the leather scroll was placed.
He wanted to see if they were any different from before.
He looked at the leather scroll without the consent of his master.
Although the witch had told him that he could see them, it was not good to take them without informing the owner.
"It's fine. ”
Fengyun nodded, showing a satisfied expression.
At the beginning of taking the scroll, he thought of this problem, and paid special attention to it, leaving no flaws.
Fengyun walked out of the room quickly, ready to say hello to the witch, but when he saw her clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
It was not right to say that she was wrong, it should be him, because it was not a witch who entered the room, but a man.
Fengyun's eyesight is very good, and he can see his appearance very clearly with just one face.
is about forty years old, his facial features are very ordinary, he belongs to the kind that is thrown into the crowd, it is difficult to find out, the only thing that impresses Fengyun is his eyes, which are gray, revealing a gloomy coldness.
"Who are you?"
Fengyun's eyes immediately turned cold.
Although he didn't stay in the Baicao tribe for a long time, the tribe was not big, and most people, even if they hadn't spoken, he had seen it, but in his impression, there was no existence of this middle-aged man.
He was still quite confident in his memory, and if he had actually seen him, he would have remembered him.
However, for the sake of prudence, he did not attack him immediately, in case he was really from the Baicao tribe, it would not be good to hurt him.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
Instead of answering Fengyun's question, the middle-aged man asked him a rhetorical question.
In the process, he also sneaked a glance at the door.
"He shouldn't be from the Baicao Tribe. ”
Fengyun had been paying attention to the other party's every move, and it was naturally impossible for his small action to escape his eyes, and it also made him more and more sure that the middle-aged man who stole into the witch's residence should have nothing to do with the Baicao tribe.
The way he peeked at the door, it was obvious that he wanted to make sure what was going on at the door and make it easier to escape.
If he was from the Baicao tribe, why would he think about escaping in the first place?
This is the base camp of the Baicao tribe, and he should be the one who should be afraid.
"Who the hell are you?"
Fengyun's eyes became colder, and his tone became stern, and he made a posture of attacking.
"I ...... I...... I'm looking for the witch Mu Qiuxia. She's not here, so I'll go first. ”
The middle-aged man opened the door and retreated as he walked.
"You lie. I know who you really are. ”
Fengyun looked at the middle-aged man with a hint of banter in his eyes.
"What?"
The middle-aged man was startled, and subconsciously took out a sharp bone knife from his arms, staring at the wind and clouds, his eyes showing a fierce light.
"Don't be nervous. You and I are the same, we both work for the same person. If I'm not mistaken, you're here to find out the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest, right?"
Fengyun raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, but the banter in the depths of his eyes became stronger. (To be continued.) )
