Chapter 20: Onward, Into the Cave
The next day, Yu Tang continued to walk towards the cave under the guidance of Ah Fu. At noon, Yu Tang climbed a tree and saw the cave from a distance. He checked his bearings, and was about to return to the ground, when he saw a point of light flashing in the distance.
"Captain, you said that we should carpet search this place and find a high school student, is he really that dangerous?" A stunned young man in a brand-new military uniform fiddled with the saber that glittered in the sunlight and asked the middle-aged man next to him.
"I've been in the army for so many years, and I've never seen such an anxious tone from above. You also saw the mobilization meeting late last night, this is a situation where you have to leave by yourself if you can't find anyone. The fact that so many people were transferred to carry out this task under such an urgent situation on the front line shows that this person is by no means simple. However, we are not fuel-efficient lamps either. The middle-aged man comforted the young man on his lips, but he was still very scared in his heart. He had read the relevant reports and knew that they were facing a man who could stand up to a special forces squad on his own. So this time, as the vanguard, they are just doing reconnaissance work, once they find Yu Tang's traces, they only need to report to their superiors and keep track of them, and when the time comes, there will naturally be people from the army to clean him up.
The young man hurriedly put away his saber and followed the captain's footsteps as he walked quickly through the forest.
After the previous battle, Yu Tang immediately became alert when he saw this abnormal situation. He gently climbed down the tree, with
The dirt covered up the charcoal that he had burned out from the fire last night, and then cleaned up all the footprints around him that might have exposed his whereabouts, and tied a few pieces of wood under his shoes, and raised his shoes to avoid leaving shoe prints on the ground. After doing this, Yu Tang clapped his hands with satisfaction and left this place.
The more Yu Tang walked, the clearer he felt that the quiet forest from yesterday had become more and more noisy at this moment, and the sounds of various animals from afar were getting more and more, and they were getting closer and closer to him. He finally realized that there might be a lot of people looking for him. The key to the time is likely to have been exposed.
Yu Tang turned his head and said to Ah Fu, "Ah Fu, thank you for bringing me here, go back to your master." Ah Fu shook his head as if he didn't understand, and it wasn't until he saw Yu Tang make a gesture to go back that it nodded in understanding, jumped away from Yu Tang's shoulder, and ran flexibly towards the way it came.
"The key to time, activation." Yu Tang thought silently in his heart, and in the next second, he disappeared into the void.
"Captain, I've made a discovery!" Stunned Qing found traces of burial in the place where Yu Tang rested last night, so he picked up the soil and found the buried charcoal.
"Are there no footprints at the scene?" The captain hurried over.
"Report, no findings." Stunned Qing scratched his head, and seemed to be very puzzled by this phenomenon.
"It shouldn't be...... How can a high school student know how to hide his footprints, and look at what he buried, even you can't deceive him, and it is impossible to hide his whereabouts perfectly. Unless...... He jumps up the trees like a monkey. The captain touched his bald head and muttered to himself.
When he heard this, he immediately climbed the tree, but he didn't find any traces on the tree.
The two froze in place.
"That could be some gliding device he used......"
The smooth reflection of the trunk of the tree removed the light of wisdom above him.
"I guess ......"
“……”
"Judging by my years of experience...... It may not be human," the captain squeezed out a smile that seemed to be crying but not crying. Stunned, Qing also sat down in place, "This Nima is impossible, does he really have no legs?" ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At this moment, Yu Tang was flashing quickly in the dense forest, completely unaware of the doubts of these two people. At the moment, his speed was unusually fast, and there was no trace of him. He stopped several times to rest in the trees and look around, but this time, he found nothing. The people searching for him seemed to be one with the forest, and no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find anyone.
A few hours later, Yu Tang came to the entrance of the cave.
There was a fog around the entrance to the cave, making it difficult to see what was inside. As soon as Yu Tang wanted to move forward, he heard a "hissing" sound. Yu Tang's footsteps paused, and the next second he suddenly retreated.
Not far from the entrance of the cave, there were silver-gray snakes everywhere.
"I*" Even though Yu Tang had personally experienced all kinds of hellish scenes and experienced all kinds of tragic battles, at this moment the innate control of humans over this creature still dominated him. The serpents stood up when they heard the voice. Dozens of pairs of brown eyes stared at Yu Tang.
But in the next second, they lost their target. In a short time, the snakes disappeared into nothingness, leaving only a patch of snake blood.
"Huhu...... It turns out that the Key to Time is also effective for other creatures. Yu Tang entered the cave ** and gasped for breath. Using the Key of Time for a long time consumed a lot of his physical strength and energy. The last time he was able to kill all the retreating special forces, in addition to anger, there was also some element of luck. When the special forces retreated, they still retreated in a certain formation, and did not scatter and flee, which could indeed greatly delay the process of their pursuit for ordinary pursuers, but for Yu Tang, holding together meant that he did not have to be distracted to chase and kill enemies in all directions, which reduced the difficulty of his pursuit.
After trimming for a moment, Yu Tang stood up and looked around. The cave did not contain what he wanted, as the old man had said, but there was nothing but the slick walls.
"Could it be...... Did this old man lie to me? There's no reason for that. There should be another mystery in this cave. Yu Tang thought like this, and looked at the smooth stone wall with his eyes, but he couldn't find the mystery here for a while.
After a few hours, the sky had completely darkened, and the cave had become invisible, and Yu Tang's search was forced to stop. Feeling the tiredness coming from his body, Yu Tang decided to spend the night in the cave tonight. His eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness, and after making a decision, he found a recessed corner in the cave and lay down in it. The night in the cave was not as cool as he thought, but it was a little warm, and in this warm environment, Yu Tang quickly fell asleep.
"What do you say?! So many people searched this small place, and still couldn't find a high school student?! Holding the red phone in his hand, the consul's voice came with a hint of dissatisfaction and surprise. The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't dare to bear the anger from the supreme consul, so he could only use his future to promise the commander that he would find Yu Tang in one day at most, otherwise, he would immediately take off his military uniform and return to his hometown!
"Li Dong, what about the traces that your soldiers found that are suspected to have lived in Yu Tang? Send me the location, now, right away! After the consul hung up the phone, the officer named Liu Neng wiped the cold sweat on his head, immediately dialed the phone number of the team leader, and rushed to the location of the search captain Li Dong and the others with a team of trace verification experts.
