Chapter 35: The Pursuit
"No one has seen her leave. ”
One of the attackers looked at the scene in the room with a grim expression, then gritted his teeth and said:
"And the bed in the guest room was deliberately arranged as if someone was lying in the bed, and she obviously had a premonition that we might come to her. ”
That is to say...... She actually understands the true origin of this Qi core!"
When the attackers and his party hurried to the hotel where Su Mu was staying in a sudden realization, it was obvious that the building was already empty. Only the futon that pretended to be mocked by everyone was aware of it.
However, the black-robed spellcaster who was the leader of the crowd was indeed beyond imagination calm.
Even if he let the clue escape from his eyes again, he still remained sober enough, and still made an emotionless judgment again in an unhurried tone:
"Well, she's just a bard, after all, and can't go to the distant city of Maz alone. ”
"Whether she is traveling with her target or joining another caravan herself, she will not leave too quickly after all, unable to use her power. ”
"And if we set out at once, and search for her along the trade route, we will be able to ...... See her again!"
......
However, contrary to the expectations of the black-robed man, Su Mu, who had set foot on the trade road again at this moment, did not take the caravan as a girl.
Instead, he directly took off his disguise and was speeding at the speed of a small-character fifth-order warrior.
Although in the long run, in the face of a long road that is still thousands of miles away, if Su Mu keeps his original appearance, he will inevitably be more vulnerable to the threat of the attackers.
But just at this moment, since Su Mu had already exposed the appearance of the girl, and all the attackers were temporarily left behind by him.
Then at this moment, Su Mu's best choice was to speed up.
Directly ordered the raiders who followed him to completely lose his trace, and only after they were completely out of the range of the raiders' search could they secretly join an ordinary caravan again.
Then you can darken the ...... of Chen Cang Continue in the direction of Maz City!
......
And Su Mu's operation really made the pursuers feel at a loss.
From the time Su Mu took advantage of the time difference to leave the town, to the time when the attackers discovered the source of the Qi core and started in pursuit, it was only two or three hours away.
But until the sun had completely set, the blood moon on the horizon hung high in the sky.
The attackers, who were in quick pursuit, had already used their fastest speed to pursue several times the length of the time difference.
Along the way, however, the attackers did not find the girl.
Even among these caravans along the way, they rarely saw even women.
It's like the girl named Su Yan, since the moment she left the small town of Baru, she disappeared into this trade road out of thin air.
"No, the last caravan we met had left town before noon. If the girl was really just a bard, she would have been in one of the previous caravanserais. ”
After some pursuit, the black-robed spellcaster seemed to have finally sensed the strangeness of the matter.
And from the perspective of this world, the moment the black-robed man just noticed this matter, the first possibility that flashed through his mind was:
"That extremely delicate looking girl, she seems to be a warrior herself!"
With the possibility of getting closer to the truth, it once again became the premise of the black-robed man's thinking, and the black-robed man also decisively changed their pursuit plan once again.
I saw a team of more than a dozen people, and immediately turned into two groups of people with a similar number.
Among them, the group with heavy weapons continued to search carefully along the trade routes, not missing any of the merchant teams encountered along the way.
The other team, which was obviously more dexterous and lightweight, directly ignored all the caravans and chased them all into the distance as fast as everyone could.
And in this batch, the black-robed man who was obviously the caster of the spell did not hesitate to put himself into the team of rapid pursuit.
It seems that the black-robed man, who is the caster, is not worried about his physical weakness at all.
Even if someone looks closely, they will be more and more surprised to find:
If it weren't for the fact that the black-robed man was always vaguely waiting for his companion on the way forward, those light swordsmen who were known for their sharpness might not have been able to keep up with the speed of the black-robed man at all.
As for this black-robed spellcaster, the reason why he was able to be so fast.
In fact, it happened to be the first magic Su Mu had seen since he came to this world...... The so-called speed blessing magic called "Mountain Village Yonghuai"!
......
After the change of plan, the attackers and their party really improved their efficiency.
When the blood moon of Sen Ran was once again engulfed by the rising sun, a new day began again on the trade road.
The black-robed people who were in charge of the rapid pursuit, after galloping all night, had actually caught up with the process of Su Mu's escape and successfully arrived at Su Mu's location at this time.
However, the strange thing is that when the pursuers finally caught up with Su Mu, they didn't seem to notice Su Mu's existence, and they didn't notice any strangeness at all.
Even when they hurriedly passed by Su Mu, they didn't even stay at Su Mu for too long, and then hurriedly looked at other places.
And the reason for all this is because...... At this time, Su Mu not only did not change back into women's clothes, but even mixed into the team of a certain merchant again.
When the four variables of gender, identity, speed, and outnumbering are constantly changed by Su Mu, no matter how meticulous the black-robed man's mind is, he still gives Su Mu a vacancy that he can take advantage of.
And to investigate in more detail, the black-robed people are also handed over to the slow and meticulous group.
Therefore, even if the distance between Su Mu and the forerunners was only a few meters at the shortest, Su Mu was so successful again that he disappeared from under the eyes of the pursuers again.
Even because Su Mu was completely unnoticed by anyone at this time.
So when the black-robed party crossed Su Mu, Su Mu took the opportunity to carefully observe how the black-robed man was using magic as a spellcaster.
and the magic of this world...... What kind of perspective should we look at?
......
In fact, up to now, compared with Su Mu's daily progress in fighting skills, Su Mu's exploration of magic is still at the stage of painting cats and tigers.
Even though it was a battle in the saline-alkali wilderness, Su Mu successfully captured the trick of casting magic.
But about the principles of the core of magic, the correspondence between each poem and its effect, and even the magic itself, how to perform it to the fullest.
All this, Su Mu is still extremely dazed.
That's why Su Mu is now so urgent, wanting to ...... from the black-robed man Learn more tricks in using magic!
