Chapter 619: Battle Traces
Zeng Jian caught Chen Fan's eyes and hurriedly said, "It won't be delayed for too long, there is a small valley not far ahead, and the valley is full of detoxifying herbs, anyway, you are not sure where that friend is now, we can find it while walking." ”
"Okay!" Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "If I go to the valley and still can't find my friend, I can only go on the road alone, and you can carry this kid back when the time comes." ”
"Thank you!" Zeng Jianke cast a grateful look at Chen Fan, and without saying a word, he picked up Nizhu and ran forward, while Chen Fan reluctantly followed behind him.
It took the two of them nearly half an hour to walk into a small valley deep in the basin, which was a semi-arc-shaped structure, flanked by rocks and strange rocks, but not as desolate as outside, and the stone walls and crevices were full of herbs and unknown plants, quite lush.
The herb Zeng Jian was looking for was on the stone wall of the valley, and after he entered the medicine valley, he immediately put the person down, pointed to the steep wall nearly thirty meters above the ground and said, "I'll climb up first to find it, please look at Nizhu for me." ”
Chen Fan looked at the unconscious young man, his cheeks had already turned purple and blue, and he knew that if he couldn't detoxify quickly, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to last much longer, so he had to nod and say, "Move faster." ”
"Don't worry, I'll be down soon!" Zeng Jianjian climbed along the steep wall, and there were many vines growing in the cracks of the stones, and Zeng Jian grabbed these vines and flew upward, and his movements were not slow, and it only took a very short time to climb to the steep top.
Chen Fan looked around, looking around for clues that might be Zhou Tao's whereabouts, but after looking for most of the circle, Chen Fan still didn't find any traces left by Zhou Tao, and couldn't help but feel lost in his heart, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "Could it be that the prophet is lying to me?" Or was this kid unlucky enough to die in the monster's mouth before I could get there? ”
Thinking so in his heart, Chen Fan was a little anxious.
Although he has always been very indifferent, he can't sit idly by and ignore his friends and family, this may be Chen Fan's only weakness, and now that Zhou Tao's life and death are unknown, it is normal for Chen Fan to feel depressed.
Not long after, Zeng Jian had already grabbed a handful of dark green leaves, slid down directly from the cliff end, and rushed to Nizhu after landing on the ground, while stuffing the leaves into his mouth and chewing them, coating these chewed young leaves on Nizhu's wounds, but his mouth said indistinctly, "It's really strange, there is a cave on the steep wall, it seems to have been smashed out by someone, I have been here several times, and I have never seen this cave before." ”
"Where?" Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Zeng Jian.
Zeng Jian spit out his mouth full of bitter herbs, and pointed to the place on the cliff where he had just climbed, "Climb twenty meters up." ”
"I'll take a look!"
Chen Fan didn't say a word, he immediately stomped his feet vigorously, his body flew towards the end of the cliff, and in a few breaths, he had already climbed to the stone wall twenty or thirty meters above the ground, inserted his hands deeply into the stone wall, and his eyes searched along the rocky stone wall, and sure enough, he soon found a small stone crack covered by vines.
The stone crack is not a pure natural formation, around the stone crevice, Chen Fan found some traces of man-made destruction, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly flew out with his strength, and easily jumped to the edge of the stone crevice.
Chen Fan quickly squeezed into the crack in the stone, squinted his eyes and glanced around, the scene in the cave was unobstructed, in this small space, Chen Fan found a tattered shirt, the shirt was covered with black spots and blood stains, and the cuffs were torn into strips of rags, the smell of blood was very strong, presumably it had just been replaced not long ago.
"It's Zhou Tao!"
A thought poured out in his heart, Chen Fan's Gujing Wubo's face suddenly filled with a hint of joy, and he quickly threw away his shirt and continued to search, but except for the bloody shirt, there were no items in the cave, and when he was hesitating, Chen Fan heard Zeng Jian's shout from under the steep wall, "You are still here, come down, I found a dagger nearby!" ”
Chen Fan hurriedly drilled out of the crack in the stone, and at a glance, he saw Zeng Jianzheng under the steep wall holding a bloody dagger and waving it vigorously below, "There is blood on this dagger!" ”
Chen Fan's eyes flashed, and he immediately jumped off the mountain wall in a flying column, took the dagger from Zeng Jian's hand and looked at it, and the excitement beating in his eyes became even stronger.
This dagger has three edges, and the material used to create it is also from another world, which is exactly the same as the military thorn structure used by the military in Yunxi City, and it is obviously the one that Zhou Tao has always carried on his body.
"My friend should be around here, I must find the person immediately, you guys retreat into the stone crevice and hide first!" Chen Fan quickly put away the military thorn and turned back to Zeng Jian.
Zeng Jian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, out of this valley, you will go to the core area of the poisonous spider's nest, where the poisonous fire tarantula is particularly powerful, you are not familiar with the terrain, it is better to take me, I can give you some help if necessary." ”
Chen Fan thought about it quickly, now he can only exert a small half of his combat power, if he encounters a monster with a third-level combat power, it is almost a dead end, and it is good to have someone familiar with the terrain to lead the way.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan pointed to the young man Nizhu who was unconscious on the ground, "Then what should he do?" ”
"It's okay, I can carry him on my back!" The Miao people value love and righteousness, and will never abandon their own people, Zeng Jian untied a rope on his body as he spoke, tied the unconscious Nizhu to his back, and signaled to Chen Fan that he could go.
Although he found the military thorn left by Zhou Tao, but the grass and trees around here are dense, and there are not too many clues left to search, Chen Fan first scattered with Zeng Jian, and searched in a fan shape along the area where the military thorn was found, tossing for more than half an hour, Zeng Jian finally had some gains, and hurriedly shouted to Chen Fan,
"Come and see, there are traces of a battle here!"
Chen Fan immediately ran to the place where the shouting came from, and soon, a huge cone-shaped ice shuttle appeared in front of him, and the area near the ice pick was a mess, full of trees and rocks that had been washed away by the air current, and some residual blood stains could be seen on the ground, and some traces of being scorched by the poisonous fire.
The earth was cracked, there were collapsed tree trunks and rocks everywhere, and some places were filled with ice chips, but under the shallow pit formed by the explosion, there was an extremely strange smell of fire poison, which obviously came from the monster that had fought with Zhou Tao!
"Your friend should have fought a poisonous tarantula!" Zeng Jian pointed to a mess of the ground and the ice chips on the ground that had not yet melted, and said in a shocked voice.
"Where is the lair of the fire tarantula? Take me there! Chen Fan narrowed his gaze tightly, looking at the shallow pits that exploded on the ground, and his tone became more and more cold.
Such a large-scale battle almost encompasses an area of 100 meters, which shows that the combat power of the poisonous fire tarantula is by no means simple, at least it is also a second-level peak combat power of a foreign beast.
If Zhou Tao was in his heyday, he would naturally not be afraid of monsters of this level, but Chen Fan was sure that he had been injured, and the remaining bloodstains on the ground proved that Zhou Tao, who was seriously injured, obviously couldn't face a monster of this level alone!
