Xiao Yan and the others didn't know what was going on behind them, so they walked along the official road for a short distance by themselves, looked left and right, and there were still undulating mountains around them, and they were a little dazed in their hearts, not knowing where they were going next.

The tunzi who was ten miles away from the city, now looking at the surrounding situation, Xiao Yan was somewhat clear in his heart. Ten miles east of Shanhaiguan, there is no Yanshan Mountain Range, unless it is some mountain depression, the terrain is flat, otherwise there is no such endless plain here. In other words, if it is really a tunzi, I am afraid that it will be in the gaps of the mountains on both sides, and there are not many of them, so that Luo Rong did not elaborate. Presumably, in this vicinity, you can roughly know the specific location by asking a random villager.

It's just that at this time, Xiao Yan just can't find someone to inquire, and the chasing soldiers behind him are imminent, if he finds a random person to ask here, maybe this villager will be found by the people behind. At that time, I'm afraid those scholars will follow, and even if Xiao Yan finds that tunzi, he will still inevitably flee.

As a trialist, he knows very well where his physical strength lies, and if he wants to maintain enough combat condition, 24-hour uninterrupted escape is already the limit. He had to get enough rest in the shortest amount of time, and in addition to the pursuers behind him, he also had to take into account that there was a demon waiting for them in front of the squad.

After making a new judgment, Xiao Yan immediately said that it was best for the three of them to leave the official road and enter the surrounding mountains and mountains, no matter what, they had to get rid of the pursuers behind first. If you continue to walk on such a path, you will only push yourself into a corner and will not be able to extricate yourself.

As for which is more suitable for the left and right mountains, in this regard. Calristo is an expert.

"You can't go to the right. Over this hill. It could well be the beach, a place we don't shy away. Another point is that there will be a lot of sea breeze blowing from the sea at this time, and our breath is likely to be exposed without us knowing. So, entering the taller hills first will not only give you plenty of room to move, but you will also avoid being spotted by those behind you, so that you can continue to chase us. ”

Xiao Yan nodded. Turning his head to look at the hill on the right, he vaguely heard that there seemed to be some unclear bells, which should be the bells of a temple, but he didn't expect that in a fortress like Shanhaiguan, there would be a temple in Weishenme.

Without much thought, the men took a few steps backwards after covering up a trace of their walking, and then quickly climbed up a large rock along a dry river. Follow the methods of Calisto and Lecaon. After cleaning his body again, Xiao Yan followed closely behind Laikaon. Walked into the bushes in the mountains.

About ten minutes later, the middle-aged man and his disciple passed under this mountain rock, and the traces of Laikaon had disappeared just now, and now, they were even more nowhere to be seen. Looking at his surroundings, the middle-aged man took a special look at the huge rock, but Calristo's disguised Hull traces had cleared the middle-aged man's findings.

After thinking about it, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at his disciples and said, "Gan Yu, you take two junior disciples to the beach to take a look, these people are suddenly silent, there is always something wrong, you must be cautious, if there is a problem, don't deal with it without authorization, rush back and tell me." ”

A young man wearing a scholar's crown answered, turned his head and shouted a few times, then pulled the reins and ran to the right with his two junior disciples from a fork in front of the official road.

"Master, aren't we going forward?"

"Wait a little longer, wait for Gan Yu to come back, and then we will go, the road ahead is long, and there is no hurry."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, walked to a bluestone on the side of the road, sat down, took out a book casually, ignored it, and read it silently. With the master as an example, the other students also dismounted, and each found an open space, or debated the scriptures, or recited, or studied, and after a while, they began to have fun for themselves.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan and the others did not dare to stop at all, and quickly climbed along several dry rivers towards the top of the mountain. The surrounding spring color is not very strong, the bees have already begun to buzz, and occasionally some small red and white flowers bloom, and the whole space is very calm. The sound of the breathing of all three people seemed to constantly disturb this calm, making the surroundings messy and shattered.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Calisto stopped abruptly and whispered, "No. ”

Xiao Yan asked, "What?" ”

"Quiet, this place is too quiet, not at all like an environment next to a fortress."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and also realized that something was wrong. Theoretically, in the mountains in the spring, maintaining such a quiet environment means that there must be a very fierce animal around, because of such an animal deterrence, so there is no sound of birds or other small animals running and squirping.

However, this place is only ten miles away from Shanhaiguan, and ordinary tigers will not take the initiative to approach the human fortress so closely. If there were really tigers, most of the defenders of Shanhaiguan would also take the initiative to attack and wipe them out, so the inference of large beasts of prey is not tenable here.

The three men stopped, and at this time they were standing halfway up the hillside, and the wind blowing from the sea made the shrubs on the hillside sway, like the waves of land, making a brushing sound. The view is beautiful, but it's unusually quiet.

Laikaon sniffed hard, frowned, and said, "The taste is not right, there is something strange in this wind." ”

Xiao Yan doesn't have a nose as sensitive as Laikaon, and no matter how high his mental attributes are, the range of his nose's analysis can't be expanded immediately. Looking at Laikaon's appearance, Xiao Yan asked, "What's so special?" ”

"It's different from the smell of the sea, although it has been reduced a lot here, but believe me, there is a terrible smell in the place, this smell is more like the smell of corpses."

"Corpses?"

Xiao Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong, there were a large number of corpses near a fortress, which was not a normal phenomenon. If a fortress can't even control the range of ten miles around itself and can't detect it, then the name of the first level in the world will not exist for a long time. Assuming that Lecaon was right, it would only prove that the bodies were likely to have appeared suddenly within a day or two, or rather, somewhere by the sea, a sudden mass of people died within a day or two.

Xiao Yan glanced at Calisto, the female trialist was lowering her eyes, as if she had done nothing, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "That's right, at least 30 or more corpses, about 3 kilometers away from here, to be exact, if we had just gone to the right, we would have been able to see those corpses now." ”

Xiao Yan was quiet for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Mutant life?" ”

Although it was a doubt, he didn't have any doubts in his heart, looking at the white flagella on the guards in the carriage and horse shop in Shanhaiguan, Xiao Yan already knew that the demon-controlled mutant was accelerating the infection. Of course, it can also be understood that the demon's suppression of these mutants has decreased, causing these mutants to begin to appear rapidly over the course of a few days.

If the guards in the carriage and horse shop start to be quickly infected, then outside this fortress, the possibility of the tunzi that also belongs to the demon stronghold being quickly infected is naturally 100%, and there is no need to make more inferences.

"What now?"

Calisto looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Let's go back to the original way?" Or continue along this mountain range? The first one can make it easier for us to get the answer, while the latter one can at least give us some time to rest. ”

Xiao Yan frowned and said, "That tunzi should have a big problem by now, the death of dozens of people means that our clues may be interrupted there, even if it is pointless to go back now." ”

Looking in the direction of the seaside, Xiao Yan continued: "On the contrary, I am more interested in this hillside being so quiet, maybe we can find new clues from here, so, take a break and move on, but still be vigilant." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly faintly heard the sound of the bell ringing again on the mountain beam close to the Great Wall behind him, and this sound was constantly washed on the hillside with the sea breeze, and Xiao Yan vaguely saw that among those bushes, there seemed to be a zigzag space.

"Five minutes, let's take a five-minute break, and then we're going right away, and that bush in front of us, I think should make us discover."

Xiao Yan sat down as he spoke, moving his numb right hand, his arms had not recovered until now from the bow he had drawn, and as for the injured right hand, it was even more throbbing because of blood loss. Although Xiao Yan had already made a simple bandage while walking with the clean cotton cloth in his backpack just now, at present, such a bandaging was of little significance to a deep incision like a bowstring.

It may seem uneconomical to waste a healing potion for one hand, but then again, if one hand is not able to move flexibly at the beginning of the battle, it may cost you your life.

Xiao Yan's judgment of these things was more direct, so without being reminded by Lycaon, he had already taken out a bottle of potion from his backpack and poured it on his hand through the cotton cloth, and the severe pain suddenly hit, making the corners of his eyes jump involuntarily.

Turning his head to look at Calisto, Xiao Yan asked in a low voice, "How is your spiritual attribute now?" ”

"Normal, energy is returning, and I'm ready for a new fight if you need to."

"Good phenomenon," Xiao Yan said, "Then, the Shijie Tree should have stopped punishing you a long time ago, where is your backpack?" ”

Calristo was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Just now, you were holding that bottle of potion just now, if the Shijie Tree still keeps the punishment for you, you won't be able to save that bottle of potion." (To be continued......)
