Chapter 15 Tracking

The two of them had made up their minds, and they quietly fell behind the three of them that night.

All three of them are dressed in black. The wind blows the snow with long hair and shawl, the eyebrows fly obliquely, and between the looks, the eyes are shining, and they are very sharp. Although Ouyang Hu is not tall, he is strong and powerful, and his big head is carried on his shoulders, which increases his might. He walked briskly, looking back from time to time, looking very anxious. Ouyang He is in stark contrast to Ouyang Hu, it is simply a bamboo pole, swaying left and right when he walks, falling behind slowly, elegant and funny.

The three of them traveled west along the shore of Xianyue Lake, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, passed through the jade bamboo forest, turned north, and gradually came to the famous local natural wonder - the red maple forest. The three of them stopped, looked around for a while, and then entered the maple forest one after another.

Ye Chong hid in the grass and was about to get up to chase after him, but was pulled back by Han Xue. I only heard her whisper, "Wait a little longer." As he spoke, he pointed to the red maple forest. Ye Chong was shocked, and looked at her fingers, only to see that the forest was quiet, except for the flying fireflies and the dark light floating, but there was nothing, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Han Xue with a look of surprise.

Han Xue said softly: "Don't worry, these old foxes are afraid that we won't be able to keep up, and they will come out to pick us up again in a while." ”

Ye Chong's heart moved, he turned his head to look at the red maple forest, and muttered, "You said they would go and return?"

Han Xue smiled faintly, undeniable.

The two of them hid in the grass and looked at the red maple forest, and sure enough, in less than five minutes or so, the top of the red maple forest trembled slightly, and the three figures jumped down.

Ye Chong fixed his eyes and saw that it was the three of them who were blown by the wind and snow, and couldn't help but gasp, sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "If it weren't for Xue'er's cleverness, I'm afraid that I would have fallen into their way, and with the methods of these people, whether they can escape today is just an unknown number?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, reached out and grabbed Han Xue's palm, and held it tightly in his hand.

The three of them glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and glanced around a few times before turning around and sneaking into the forest.

Chong Xue and the two glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and quietly got up and followed, but as soon as they dived into the forest, they found that the jungle was full of fallen leaves, branches were vertical and horizontal, and the three of them were already nowhere to go.

Han Xue stomped her foot, turned her head to look at Ye Chong and said, "What should I do?"

Ye Chong smiled slightly, pulled Han Xue to sit under a maple tree, closed his eyes and listened.

He listened quietly, and found that the entire forest suddenly disappeared, and three silver-white skeletal bloodline people were flying in the dark night sky, moving rapidly in the direction of Guyang Mountain, and said in his heart: "Can these three people also be like me?" Then he suddenly realized, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid: "These three people must be flying on trees, but tonight the wind is calm, and the forest has no sound at all, and it can't be imaged, so there is a sense of emptiness in the sky." At the moment, he listened carefully, and sure enough, he found that every time the three of them jumped, a gray-white tree shadow flashed under their feet, which was obviously caused by the force of the downward step shaking the tree, but the force of the downward step was very small, and the shadow of the tree was extremely weak, and it was not easy to be noticed.

Ye Chong figured out this section, and was just about to inform Han Xue of the whereabouts of the three of them, but found that another bloodline person flew over silently from far and near. It's just that this person is extremely skillful, and there is no shadow of a tree under his feet. The man flew to the top of Ye Chong's head and stopped, his body swayed slightly, and he was stepping on a branch, looking around. Ye Chong hurriedly signaled Han Xue to silence, secretly raised his eyes and looked up, but he didn't know that the top of the tree was empty, and then quietly changed a few angles to observe, the top of the tree was still empty, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly muttered: "The person in the sound image obviously exists, why can't I see it?" At this time, the bloodline man seemed to be aware, and looked down, because the tree was silent and could not be imaged, it seemed to be looking directly at him. Ye Chong hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Han Xue's mouth, held his breath, and waited. Fortunately, it was pitch black in the forest, and there were branches and leaves to cover it, and the bloodline man looked down for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he spread his body and flew in the direction of the three of them who were blown by the wind and snow.

Ye Chong let out a long sigh of relief, slowly let go of Han Xue's mouth, remembering that the person's eyes were sharp just now, and his face was murderous, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Han Xue whispered, "Did you find anything?"

Ye Chong immediately repeated what had just happened.

Han Xue said: "How is this possible? If this is the case, then wouldn't he be able to kill whoever he wants." Speaking of this, the two of them seemed to remember something, looked at each other together, and exclaimed in unison: "Shadow Swordsman!?"

Ye Chong groaned: "No wonder people in the martial arts say that they haven't seen him, it turns out that he is invisible. ”

Han Xue said: "Fortunately, you can hear him, this is called a magic one foot high, and the road is one foot high." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Chong, with great admiration.

Ye Chong smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go over first, and wait for the opportunity when the time comes." ”

Fearing that the shadow swordsman and his allies would find out, the two of them walked cautiously along the forest path and walked straight for about half an hour before arriving at the foot of Guyang Mountain. Ye Chong listened attentively, and found that there were eleven people in the air about seven or eight meters high not far away, and in addition to the three people who were blowing the wind and snow, there were eight more people, obviously hiding on the maple tree, waiting for the arrival of the spirit rhino messenger.

Ye Chong carefully inspected the terrain and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It turned out that near this area, it was the place where he used to play when he was a child, and there happened to be a cave halfway up the mountain where those people were hiding. At that moment, he pulled Han Xue from the flank of Guyang Mountain and quietly touched the cave.

Although Guyang Mountain is not high, it is overgrown with weeds, and it is not easy to climb, and when approaching the entrance of the cave, in order not to be noticed, it is necessary to crawl forward. When the two of them climbed to the entrance of the cave, they were already sweating profusely, and there was a lot of dew at night on the mountain, and they were very wet and uncomfortable. Han Xue saw Ye Chong looking around, and with a flick of a brush in the grass, a swarthy hole was revealed, and she was overjoyed, and said secretly: "If he didn't know such a secret place, where would others find it?"

As soon as Chong Xue and the others hid in the cave, they heard that there was a strange thing outside, as if some animal had crawled over. The two of them looked at each other, and they were secretly frightened in their hearts. Ye Chong said secretly: "Damn! This cave has not been visited for a long time, so it won't be made for the Snake King." ”

I heard the animal crawl near the entrance of the cave and stopped, touching the grass as if looking for something.

This time, Ye Chong heard clearly, it turned out that this animal was not a poisonous snake, but a living person. I could only hear that the man groped for a while, and suddenly froze, and the blood veins in his eyes were unusually clear. Ye Chong followed his eyes and found that the place he was concerned about was where Fengxue and the others were hiding. The man looked at it for a moment, then put his right hand to his lips and learned the call of an owl in Uluru. The cry was lonely and strange, and when heard in the quiet night, it added to the eerie and terrifying feeling. After a while, but three more people crawled over to the right. One of them whispered a few words to the owl man, then moved lightly to his side, looked down, and for a moment, his eyes were also clear and excited, and then he said a few words to himself, and his right fist was slightly clenched, and he seemed confident. It's just that they don't speak Chinese, and they can't understand it at all.

Han Xue whispered in Ye Chong's ear: "These people are Japanese, they seem to have come for the Spirit Rhino Messenger, and the one who asked was their leader, it seems to be called 'Shangnin'." ”

Ye Chong was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "Could it be a Japanese ninja?" He usually likes to explore secrets and hunt for curiosities, and he has read some books about ninjas. Ninjas were born in the Edo period of Japan and are specially trained special combat killers. Their organization was huge and complex, and their actions were secretive, and the supreme commander called them "Shangnin". The martial arts are even more varied, vicious and vicious, among which the hidden arts, poison techniques and hidden weapons are known as the three unique ninjutsu, which are quite unique.

Ye Chong gently brushed away the weeds on the edge of the cave, and found that the four people outside the cave were all wearing hooded masks, wearing dark blue suits, with a short knife stuck in their backs, lying in the grass and looking down. Although he had never seen a real ninja, it seemed from the description in the book that it was a ninja. I couldn't help but muttered to myself: "It seems that the Spirit Rhino Messenger has come to the world, it is not a major secret, even the Japanese ninjas from far away have come to join in the fun, but I am afraid that the people who come tonight will definitely not only see this." "I wanted to look around right now, but the entrance of the cave restricted my vision, and it was difficult to understand the surrounding situation. Han Xue found that these people thought they were secretive, their butts were facing them, and they were honestly lying under the entrance of the cave, feeling funny and scared.

The four ninjas lie under the entrance of the cave and must remove the weeds before they can peek at the wind blowing the snow and the others. The cave where Chong Xue and the two were hiding was condescending, half a meter higher than them, but they could have an unobstructed view. Directly below the entrance to the cave was originally a pond called Xiaojing Lake. Ye Chong often took his friends here to play in the water, but by this time it had already dried up and turned into an uneven, rocky and empty field. Wind blowing snow and others formed a circle and hid in the surrounding maple forest, with a great tendency to catch them all. How do you know that "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind", and I don't know how many careerists are peeping at the side and eyeing the tiger.
