189. Go deep into the forest

Lin Xi sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and slowly warmed up the dried Yuan Force, and when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he was already full of stars.

The pain in his body had been relieved a lot, and Lin Xi caught a glimpse of Tang Yao on the side, who was closing his eyes and meditating.

Not wanting to disturb him, Lin Xi stood up as softly as possible, but Tang Yao seemed to be only meditating shallowly, and woke up at the slightest movement.

"Xiaoxi, how do you feel when you wake up?" Tang Yao opened his eyes, looked at Lin Xi and said with a smile.

"It's ok. Lin Xi looked at the arm that had returned to its normal color and nodded.

"Xiaoxi, set up a tent and rest, I'll keep vigil tonight. Tang Yao continued.

Lin Xi hesitated, she felt that Tang Yao had been on guard for half the night, and the rest of the time should be her turn, but Tang Yao seemed to see Lin Xi's thoughts, and said indifferently: "What's polite to me, your injury is important, rest first, it's your turn to keep vigil tomorrow." ”

Lin Xi suddenly felt a feeling of being cared for, so she smiled softly, intoxicated Tang Yao, and suddenly had a little playful taste: "After that, you will keep vigil." ”

Tang Yao couldn't react, and agreed dumbly: "Well, well, okay." ”

Lin Xi was silent, set up the tent, and then went into the tent to rest peacefully.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone in the woodland, Lin Xi walked out of the tent, and at this time, Tang Yao was eating dry food, looking at the ground intently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiaoxi, you eat some dry food first. Then we'd better go right away. Tang Yao saw Lin Xi come out and said seriously.

"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Lin Xi asked with some confusion.

"I've been thinking. How the hell did that old man from yesterday know where we are? Tang Yao took a bite of the jerky in his hand, took a sip of water and continued: "There were too many things yesterday that I didn't think about it, and now it seems that it should be ashes." ”

"Ashes?" Lin Xi took out his share from the storage ring and ate it in small bites.

"Well, this is actually a very common and effective alchemy product, it looks like a piece of leather glue, sticking to the heart of a person. If the heart stops beating, the rubber will break and the ashes will drift out. It can be smelled from hundreds of miles away through the special powder, and it is a very practical thing to hunt and kill. Tang Yao explained.

"The general duration of this kind of columbarium is three days. After three days, it will dissipate on its own. So, if it's really ashes, we shouldn't be safe yet. Tang Yao said solemnly: "This time, the Li family sent a sixth-order summoner, if it is next time, then I am afraid it will not be something we can deal with at all." ”

"Then let's go. Lin Xi wiped his mouth and said.

"Well, in fact, there is another way, we will rush back to the Tang family now. Then the Li family would never dare to come to the Tang family to arrest people. Tang Yao thought for a while and continued: "It's just that this is also a certain risk, if I figured it out last night and rushed home overnight, it should be fine." But now that this sixth-order summoner has not communicated with the family, I am afraid that they also know that something is wrong, and I am afraid that the other party is already in the Seven Star Forest now. ”

"So now there are two ways, one is for us to go back to the Tang family directly, but maybe we will run into the people of the Li family, and the other way is to go to the depths of the forest, if they want to search, they will definitely search from the outside to the inside, but they don't dare to go too deep into the forest, but this method we may have to run into high-level monsters. Tang Yao stretched out his hands, finished the plan, and then looked at Lin Xi, as if waiting for the other party's choice.

"Ask me?" Lin Xi asked with an eyebrow.

"Well, I'd like to hear your opinion. Tang Yao nodded.

Lin Xi thought for a while, then took out a gold coin from the storage ring, muttered something in his mouth, didn't know what he was talking about, then threw it up, caught it with his hand, looked at it and said happily: "Let's go to the forest!"

Tang Yao's face was speechless, he didn't remember that Lin Xi had such a childish side!

"Okay, let's go to the forest, it's not my personality to look back anyway. Tang Yao nodded and made a decision.

On the other side, Li Soul did not return to the Li family to give them a bad guess, so a meeting of elders was held early the next morning.

Li Soul is not Li Fang's waste, he is also a very powerful combat force in the family, so his disappearance has to be taken seriously by the Li family.

If you want to see people alive or die, the Li family immediately sent three eighth-order elders to the Seven Star Forest, which was almost no different from what Tang Yao expected, but Tang Yao ignored one factor.

Seven-Star Forest, this place is very close to Flower City, there are three eighth-order martial artists to the Seven-Star Forest, how can the Tang family not pay attention?

So the Tang family immediately stopped these three people, and still relied on the other party's good words to say that they would not let them leave, and they had to wait until the Tang family summoned the Li family and confirmed that these three people were indeed from the Li family, and they came to find their missing young master and elder.

That's it, the Tang family also sent a few people to spy on them secretly to see if they had any other movements.

So, after such a long delay, when the three physically and mentally exhausted elders of the Li family really started searching, it was already mid-noon, and when they found the place where Li Soul died, they didn't find his body at all, leaving only a bloodstain on the ground, as well as almost torn clothes.

Li Soul's corpse was naturally eaten as a snack by the monsters in the forest, as for the death knight, it was definitely not on the monsters' recipes, but after the death knight died, its body would slowly vaporize and dissipate, turning into a ball of dead air, so there was nothing left at all.

And the three members of the Li family also knew his identity through the fragments of clothes left by Li Soul and the storage ring on the ground.

The storage ring was forgotten by Lin Xi and Tang Yao yesterday, because one was busy and the other was busy shy, so they didn't expect this stubble at all.

But Tang Yao and the others escaped by mistake because they were "busy", and the Li family's storage ring has a special mark, through which the Li family can find it even if it is far away, and it can be regarded as a unique part of the Li family.

So, although they found Li Soul's body, they couldn't find Tang Yao and the others who had gone deep into the forest, and they returned to Li's house under the fatigue of being followed.

Probably, the murderer has long since left the forest, right? (To be continued......)
