Chapter 174: In Sight

However, I saw that several high mountains had already appeared in the field of vision ahead, the mountains were white, the top of the mountain was hidden in the clouds, and the surrounding dense forests were surrounded, and from a distance, it was full of the atmosphere of the Jedi secret realm, which was awe-inspiring.

"Uncle Quan, isn't that just a salty mountain?" I asked.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"Then should we find a place to deal with it today and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning?" The goal is already in sight, in fact, I am also anxious, but I only proposed it because of the weather.

"Straight up the mountain." But he said so.

"Huh? Why? "I was surprised.

He turned his head to look at me with those big blank eyes, and said lightly, "I'm the guide." ”

One sentence immediately choked me upside down. That's right, since you have found someone else to be your guide, what people say is right, where are there so many problems?

I looked back at Yue Ningmei and the three of them helplessly, and saw that they were all smiling, and they were all in the mood of watching the excitement.

However, this Uncle Quan speaks like we made telegrams in those days, and he cherished words like gold. For most of the day, no matter how much guidance I had, he never gave me more than four words at most. To put it simply, this is probably an art of speaking.

I was thinking that I was unlucky, and Uncle Quan said, "Get off the horse." Then he tumbled off his horse, and tied it to a tree beside him, taking only his burden and carrying it on his back.

I looked ahead, although there was no decent road, but I felt that I could ride a horse for a while, but I had just been choked, and I would definitely not be so unremembered, so I immediately did it obediently. It looks like we're going to hike the mountain from here.

As soon as the five of them took a few steps forward, Uncle Quan suddenly raised his hand to stop us. I just wanted to ask a habitual question, but when I saw him frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something intently, I didn't dare to disturb him, and I was silent.

I saw him freeze there for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly said, "Someone is coming!" ”

It's still a short four words, but it's so weighty that we are all shocked when we hear it, and we all look back at where we came.

But as far as the eye can see, there is only the vast forest sea, how can you see any half of a figure?

But since Uncle Quan said so, there must be no fake, we don't dare to move a little, we are all holding our breath and concentrating, and we are all on guard!

Sure enough, only two or three minutes later, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, echoing through the mountains and dense forests, and it was heard even more clearly. Such a mess, there must be not just one or two people, but a group of people!

We looked at each other, and we were all a little puzzled, wondering if this person was friend or foe, or just passers-by? In this sparsely populated deep mountain, it is too unimaginable to have such a large group of people passing by.

Rui Wei saw my thoughts and said, "Anyway, let's avoid it for a while." "A few of us immediately entered the forest next to us, hid our bodies in the shade of the grass and trees, and only slightly leaned out, observing the movement of the road.

When the first figure appeared from the end of my sight, my heart sank.

The people of Hanfeng Village do not have uniform clothing, but because most of them are wrapped in animal skin jackets, they are mainly in earthy yellow tones. The people who came were all dressed in gray, and they were obviously not Qiu Weilong's subordinates.

Of course, I am familiar with this large number of gray-clothed people, and they are the minions of our old enemy, the Diggers!

Of course, they had seen these people, and they looked at me at the time, and there was a hesitant look on their faces.

I believe that what we are thinking of at this time is the same person, Daddy Yan!

At the beginning, I knew my father's reasoning, hoping that he would persuade the Digging Troupe not to hinder me from solving the mystery of the Blood Rock Furnace. But whether Dad really figured out the pros and cons of this, and even if he figured it out, whether he could manipulate the movements of the digging group well are all uncertain factors.

Along the way, we have not avoided some big cities with the eyes of the digging group, and we have been observing their positions, and we have always been safe. It's going to make a move early, and now they suddenly appear when they are only the last leg away, what is the purpose of the bottom?

Is it to snatch the Blood Rock Furnace again? Or is it for Yue Ningmei? I couldn't help but look at Yue Ningmei, who was not far away, but I saw that she was just looking at the group of people gradually approaching, and there was no special expression on her face.

In fact, I believe that she has already been mentally prepared for this, if it is inevitable to fight against the water, the only person present who needs to stay out of the matter is this Uncle Quan.

So I turned my head and whispered to Uncle Quan: "I'm afraid these people are not well-intentioned, in order to prevent you from accidentally hurting you later, you better avoid it as soon as possible." ”

But anyone who sees such a large group of people and horses pressing over majestically will definitely be nervous and frightened, and if they can retreat with their whole body, they will not be able to ask for it. But when Uncle Quan, who had always been cold and indifferent, heard me say this, he said without hesitation: "No." ”

This answer caught me off guard. What does "no" mean? Is it not possible for us to confront the person who came, or to leave him alone?

"Aren't you going up the mountain? Let's go. For the first time in his life, he had said such a long sentence.

But these people ...... "I don't think this uncle understands our current situation."

"Follow me!" He said in an unquestioning tone.

I looked at him dumbfounded, a little unsure of what to say, but Wang Shaoting pulled me and said, "Listen to my eldest brother, Uncle Quan grew up in this mountain when he was a child, and it must be right to listen to him." ”

"And what about those pursuers in the back?" I asked.

He took out a few projectiles the size of a dragon's eye from his sleeve and said, "It's not enough to kill them, but it's still okay to keep them from seeing where we're going." ”

I glanced at Rui Wei and Yue Ningmei, and they also agreed, so I also nodded and said, "Okay, then do it!" ”

So, under the leadership of Uncle Quan, we walked around the forest for a while, and saw that the team had stopped outside the forest, and heard someone say: "There are horses here, they should have entered the mountain from here!" ”

Seeing that I was about to turn a ridge in front of me, I nodded to Wang Shaoting, he took out the slingshot from his sleeve, put the projectile steady, and let go of his hand after it was full, and the three projectiles emitted three black streamers, flying straight in the direction of the forest.

This hand is Wang Shaoting's stunt. I've also seen his slingshot, which is made of privet wood and ripened deer tendons, and is tough and elastic, and if you switch to iron pellets, the lethality at close range is quite large.

Under the influence of his father, this guy learned to make gunpowder bombs from sulfur, saltpeter and some things originally used for alchemy, although the power of the explosion is not great, but when combined with some other things, it often has miraculous effects, such as Daddy's drug.

Now he was not using a drug, but something else that would emit a lot of white smoke when it burned, the same one I used to confuse the guards at Yue Yao Villa and take the opportunity to pass through the Creek Stone Tepe.

"Bang bang bang" three times, three projectiles flew into the forest, exploded one after another, smoke rose, and after a while, the group of people was already hidden in the smoke, only the neighing of horses and the shouts of people could be heard.

And we took this opportunity to follow Uncle Quan quickly towards the depths of the forest. (To be continued.) )
