Chapter Twenty-Eight: Inner Court Competition (1)
Liu Ding's forehead was already sweating at the moment, and he was too careless just now. A peaceful night, he relaxed his vigilance, which led to the current result, which is all his own problem!
Yang Zixiao saw that Liu Ding's face was not good, and comforted: "Maybe Chen Xu has taken the wrong path, there is no trace of a fight here, you don't have to blame yourself too much! Keep calm! Don't be rash!"
Liu Ding nodded in agreement, but still couldn't let go of it in his heart.
"Look separately, don't go too far. This is a bit strange, and early morning is the time when everyone's vigilance is the weakest. If it is a spirit animal that takes advantage of this, then we should be more careful, no matter what we find, do not act privately. Let's go back to the cave after a pillar and gather!" Yang Zixiao arranged the work, and everyone dispersed and searched separately.
Yang Zixiao went to the east, where there were all one-person-high reeds, and the view was all blocked. Even if the two are not far apart, they can't see anything. No signs of a fight were found along the way. Just when Yang Zixiao looked down for footprints, he suddenly found a pool of blood, and it extended into the distance. Yang Zixiao was shocked in his heart, could it be Chen Xu's bloodstains? Could it be that he had already been killed? Yang Zixiao followed the bloodstains and searched for them in the depths, but just after taking two steps, he suddenly woke up! There were no traces of a fight here, how could there be bloodstains? This was a trap! A bad premonition exploded in his mind!
Yang Zixiao immediately let out a long and two short whistling sounds, which was the signal that had been agreed to let everyone retreat and gather!
Yang Zixiao took the lead in returning to the cave, and found Chen Xu waiting at the entrance of the cave!
"Where have you been? I won't be able to find you when I come back!" Chen Xu asked. When he first returned, he found the cave empty, so he stayed there as he had previously agreed.
Yang Zixiao asked, "Isn't it convenient for you to go to the reeds? Why didn't we find you when we went?"
"When I was done, I found a pool of blood, and after probing the blood for a while, I felt that something was wrong, so I turned back. As a result, you are not here, so you are here!"
Yang Zixiao's heart is terrible! I just hope that those people can turn back in time when they hear their signals!
Wang Dawei, Mo Yanan, and Li Mu all returned safely, but Liu Ding was missing!
"Have you all found blood?" Yang Zixiao asked.
The three of them nodded, if it weren't for Yang Zixiao's howling, it is estimated that the three of them would have followed the bloodstains all the way down. Only now did I suddenly realize that this was actually a trap!
"Which direction did Liu Ding go?" Yang Zixiao was in an extremely heavy mood, he knew that Liu Ding might be more than lucky. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will definitely not give up.
"North!" Mo Yanan said.
"Now listen to me, you four stay in this cave. If you find something abnormal, immediately withdraw to the southeast, this is not far from the Vermilion Bird Courtyard, even if it is a wolf and leopard, you have a good chance of escaping! This is probably a trap they have laid!" After speaking, Yang Zixiao was about to go north.
"Wait, since you know the trap, do you want to go alone?" Wang Dawei stopped in front of Yang Zixiao, "If you want to go, let's go together!"
"I have been in contact with this group of wolves and leopards, it is not very convenient for us to go together, you believe me, I will definitely come back alive! The four of you must not be separated, maybe they want to divert the tiger from the mountain! If you find a wolf and leopard, the four of you will immediately flee to the southeast, and the traps we set up along the way can help you!"
"If it had been before dark, I hadn't come back. You must also leave!" Yang Zixiao paused and said sharply: "Since you recognize me as the leader of the alliance, then you must listen to me!"
Looking at Yang Zixiao's serious expression, knowing that he had made up his mind, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Yang Zixiao turned around and left, halfway through, he suddenly turned around and smiled: "I'm not Lin Miao, and I won't leave you alone to face everything! I'm Yang Zixiao!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zixiao rushed north!
Everyone looked at his distant back, and there were ripples in their hearts, "Maybe he is really stronger than Senior Brother!"
Liu Ding searched all the way to the north, and suddenly found a pool of blood, and he blamed himself incomparably! It was his own negligence that led to Chen Xu's disappearance, and now that he found bloodstains, Liu Ding gritted his teeth, even if it was a corpse, it was a big deal to bury his brother!
Liu Ding followed the blood trail all the way to the depths of the bone forest to the north, because he was constantly looking for blood stains on the way, so the speed was not fast.
However, when Liu Ding saw the wolf and leopard, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap. The bloodstain was not Chen Xu's, if Chen Xu was injured, he would definitely return to the cave, and there was no trace of a fight along the way, he cared too much about it, and did not carefully judge whether it was a trap. Recalling Yang Zixiao's words just now, I hope they didn't fall into the trap like themselves!
Liu Ding and the wolf and leopard fought together, although Liu Ding had just opened the third vein, but after all, he was born and died with Lin Miao. The combat skills are not bad, and in the face of the mid-level and low-level wolves and leopards, the two are on par!
With great effort, Liu Ding killed the wolf and leopard, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. However, just when he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, two more wolves and leopards appeared in the forest! Liu Ding gritted his teeth, and he would pull a cushion on his back if he died! He broke one arm and burned one wolf and leopard to ashes! Looking at the other wolf and leopard rushing over, Liu Ding closed his eyes. After living for so many years, it's time to go underground to accompany the senior brother, he must be very lonely.
Yang Zixiao went all the way to the north, and found blood stains along the way, and secretly felt in his heart: "These spirit beasts are really smart, they will lay such superb traps!"
The reeds and grass had been left behind, the blood stains had disappeared, and Yang Zixiao found traces of a fight and the corpse of a wolf and leopard! Hearing the sound of a fight in the dense forest ahead, Yang Zixiao was overjoyed in his heart, and he came in time!
I saw a claw of spiritual energy grabbing towards Liu Ding, who was covered in blood! Yang Zixiao's fire flashed behind him, and a pair of fire wings flapped, and he instantly sped up and came to Liu Ding's body to hold up the [crack].
Like metal cutting through the rocks, a piercing sound woke up Liu Ding, who was waiting for death! I saw a person in front of him rushing out like lightning, leaving a large black hole in the chest of the wolf and leopard!
Yang Zixiao jumped to Liu Ding, who was in a daze, stretched out his hand to seal the meridians of his left arm, gave him a wave of aura, and then smeared him with ointment, and tore off his coat to wrap him!
"Why are you here to send him to death, this is a trap!" Liu Ding shouted angrily as he looked at Yang Zixiao, who was busy bandaging himself in front of him.
"Didn't you say I was like him, would he do that?" Yang Zixiao said as he bandaged it.
Liu Ding said without a trace of hesitation: "He won't, he will sacrifice me for more lives!"
Yang Zixiao paused for a moment, and then continued to bandage. "So, I'm not like him. I can't be as sane as he is! There are too many shackles in my life, but these are the things that prove that I am a flesh-and-blood person!"
Although Liu Ding rationally felt that Yang Zixiao was too stupid, his heart had been completely melted! He did not hesitate to go into danger for his own sake, so how could he not be moved? Perhaps, as he said, he was a person of flesh and blood, as if such a person was closer, and it seemed that he was really stronger than him! Maybe he would feel gratified!
"We have to leave quickly!If I guessed correctly, there is little pressure on our side, which means that most of the wolves and leopards are concentrated on Mo Yanan's side!" Yang Zixiao looked at Liu Ding, "Can you still run?"
Liu Ding nodded: "I just broke my hand, not my foot, according to what you said, we have to hurry! You do your best, I can keep up!"
Yang Zixiao was also anxious, and he and Liu Ding quickly rushed towards the cave! Because of Liu Ding, Yang Zixiao couldn't use the [Fire Wing] well, and only hoped that they had evacuated!
