Chapter 32: The Hunter and the Prey

As the sky darkens, the mottled shadows of the trees begin to lengthen and fade, as if they will soon blend in with their surroundings.

The aura of the forest began to become dangerous, and in the dim, unseen depths of the forest, something seemed to be stirring.

Mu Yan smelled this danger, but still didn't stop.

He ran hard, his brows furrowed, his mental power carefully scanning every piece of land he passed.

Time was of the essence for him, and he had planned to search the entire southern side of the mountain before it was completely dark, but now it seemed that there was no way to complete it.

It seems that I can only make do with the choice. He thought to himself.

Click...... Da Da Da ......

A dead branch was trampled in two, and a section buried deep in the earth rolled forward with a small pebble next to it, and then crossed a small parabola and fell off the cliff.

Mu Yan's footsteps stopped, and he lowered his head and looked down.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the distance in front of him was a 10,000-meter-high cliff, and the dim sky rendered it as deep as an abyss.

The dense woods behind him tightly covered this death boundary, even if it was in broad daylight, from the inside, it would not have been possible to imagine that there would be a cliff outside, if it weren't for Mu Yan's spiritual power, he would have already swept over this area, and at this time, I am afraid that he would have already fallen off the cliff and died!

Tsk, it's okay, barely make do with it...... Mu Yan said secretly in his heart, although his expression still looked a little dissatisfied, he still turned around and walked into the woods.

He naturally knew about the fact that they were always followed by a person.

He had sensed something was wrong when the fire was lit in the first camp, and if it were someone else, he would not have noticed the abnormality in the face of this cold fire, but as a wizard, he could still easily detect the fire element active under the fire when he used magic to make a fire.

Apparently someone had been here before them, and had only been gone for almost half a day!

However, the location of this cave is only known to the people of the Demon Punishment Society, and the last exploration team in the Society had already returned the day before yesterday! It was obviously impossible for someone from that squad to use this fire.

Mu Yan, who discovered the abnormality, immediately became alert and began to think carefully about all possibilities.

After he showed the possibility of the monster Neiying, the third-party forces, and the Kiyoki Daochang, he decided to go outside to investigate in person, after all, if the other party's target was really them, then there would definitely be some traces nearby.

So that night, taking advantage of Chi Xu, Sui changed the two disciples to set up a guard post, and he hid in the shadows and carefully explored the surroundings.

I don't know if I don't look closely, but when I look closely, I really find something useful.

The man acted cautiously, leaving nothing around that might reveal his identity, and leaving the cave without taking the safe route marked on the map, choosing to leave the forest.

Judging by the traces, it looks like a passerby who stumbled upon this place, used it as a temporary place to stay, rested for the night, and left the next day.

In fact, this explanation is also reasonable, the location of this mountain is still within the safe range of Luojiazhuang, and there are often hunters nearby.

It stands to reason that disguise himself for this role has minimized the risk of exposing himself, but that person may not have expected that Mu Yan, a wizard, a pseudo-Taoist, a part-time doctor, a third-rate cook, and an apprentice alchemist, would do his first job when he entered the amusement park, and he was a hunter......

Others can only see the direction in which the person left when they look at the traces, but Mu Yan can easily see the person's height, body shape, weight, and familiarity with the forest when he looks at the traces.

It was clear that the man was very unfamiliar with the forest, and it could even be said that he was completely unfamiliar with the forest, as can be seen from the five small craters that appeared in succession in the man's path.

At a distance of almost 200 meters, he can be trampled down five times by the roots of the tree! Mu Yan felt that this couldn't even be explained by being unfamiliar with the forest, this was completely stupid!

Through the length from the pit to the root of the tree, as well as the depth of the pit, the height and weight of the man were also speculated - this is a man with an iron head who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs more than 90 kilograms.

With this height, this weight, Toutie is still a fool......

Kindness...... Vaguely, it seems to coincide with a familiar image.

Next, in order to confirm this, Mu Yan deliberately changed his speed quickly and slowly on the way to the journey, and from time to time he deviated from the safe route to hunt, and finally inadvertently scanned the figure squatting on the tree.

Sure enough, it's the guy who claims to be invincible!

After confirming that it was Mo Wuving, Mu Yan relieved himself, but he didn't mean to lead the team to encircle and suppress him, after all, that guy was also a member of the Demon Punishment Society, and more importantly, he couldn't be a monster as a tourist.

This means that although the malice he showed was obvious, this malice was not aimed at the Demon Society, it was probably only for Mu Yan!

If this is the case, at this time, leading the team to encircle and suppress him, just relying on the identity of Elder Li Zhongyun's disciple can save him from a catastrophe, the disciples of the team will not be killed, and Mu Yan will not have a chance to kill unless he kills all the people here.

After all, these disciples were just hinted at by him, not controlled, and they were likely to wake up when they touched the bottom line!

For this kind of malicious person, just give him a lesson and finish it, this is not Mu Yan's style.

Eliminating all unstable factors and stifling all potential threats is his way of doing things.

Therefore, Mu Yan didn't tell the disciples all the way that there was a Mo Wushu behind him.

Because if Mo Wuwu's target was really himself, then it would be absolutely impossible for him to appear when all the disciples were there, after all, those disciples would not allow Mu Yan to kill him, and they would not allow him to harm Mu Yan.

They are a barrier between Mu Yan and him, with this barrier, none of them can help anyone!

This can also explain why Mo Wushu has been following behind them:

He was waiting for an opportunity, a chance for Mu Yan to be alone! Like a tiger stalking in the grass to hunt, patiently following its prey, waiting for the chance of the prey to be left alone!

However, who said that Mu Yan was not also waiting for such an opportunity?

……

Carefully arranging the last trap, Mu Yan took out a small carving knife made of monster ribs, soaked it in a small porcelain bottle for a while, and then took it out and engraved a spell on the trigger of the trap.

To deal with Mo Wuving, of course Mu Yan didn't mean to go up directly and have a hard anal with him, after all, not to mention his tendons and flesh and the identity of Elder Li Zhongyun's disciple, he was a martyr, and Mu Yan had to be cautious when dealing with him.

Besides, he's still a mage, so why do you have to pick up a staff against a guy who is obviously a warrior?

He had been running around the mountains all afternoon, just to find a suitable place to prepare, but he couldn't find a satisfactory place until it was dark.

Because the magic arrays in the Harry Potter world are scarce, and the ones he knows are not yet capable of being arranged, so he has to use the trap knowledge he learned in the world of the Three Little Pigs with some spells to make traps.

It's just that such a trap has strict requirements for the terrain, so he kept picking and choosing, and finally reluctantly chose this barely qualified place.

Everything was arranged, Mu Yan recited the spell lightly, and the spells on the traps around him emitted a burst of ghostly light, and then blocked the trap, and then hidden.

Get!

Mu Yan moved his lower body bones, took out a smoked pork intestine from the pocket where the Traceless Stretching Charm was applied, and bit it off, chewing it happily and walking down the mountain.

Although he was acting alone this afternoon, he had never worried that Mo Wushu would take advantage of this time to make a move on him.

Ever since he knew that Mo Wushu was following them, he would hunt more prey every time, and the meat he roasted out was so much that the disciples couldn't eat it all.

In order to leave something to eat for Mo Wudi.

He believed that with Mo Wu's invincible character, he would definitely go to the place where they had stayed to check the traces after they left! When the time comes, he will find that he has not finished the food and thrown it aside.

Although with his caution, he would not have touched these barbecues at first, but he couldn't be cautious all the time, especially after two days of following him, he found that the other party didn't notice him at all!

As long as he tastes the first bite, then he will never let go of the next barbecue!

Mu Yan is very confident in his barbecue skills, just kidding, Hufflepuff kitchen practiced, have you ever heard of magic barbecue?

Everyone who has heard of it knows that it is best not to eat magic food made by chefs who don't have a chef certificate issued by the Ministry of Magic, because there is probably something strange in it!

Mu Yan didn't put anything else, but put a medicine that could make his barbecue smell more fragrant and make people feel peaceful, which was non-toxic and harmless, and trustworthy.

Of course, in the end, this time it was different, he put three times as many laxatives in it, and this dose was enough to make people pull into the night! Those small white pills that were given to the disciples when they parted in the afternoon were the antidote, but it was a pity that Mo Wushu didn't have this opportunity, and now at this time, he must have enjoyed this unforgettable night in a nearby corner!

Mu Yan smiled with satisfaction, with Mo Wu's invincible character, he was played like this, he would definitely come to trouble him tomorrow, and at that time, Mo Wudi, who was no longer in peak condition, would face him who had already prepared...... It's impossible to lose no matter how you think about it!

It feels like a bit of a bully! He hummed a little song and walked briskly, following the traces, and soon found the disciples who were camped at the foot of the mountain.

All the disciples sat at the edge of the forest to rest, and the four of them stood guard in four directions, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mu Yan coming from the forest.

Without Mu Yan, they didn't dare to light a fire at night, for fear of attracting some monsters, after all, this was in the Lion Camel Mountain, and fire was still too dangerous for something with a strong human atmosphere.
