Chapter 037: Tracking (Second Update)
Seeing the back of the man with the hood and covering himself, Mo Fei immediately thought of the person he had seen talking to Shao Minghui last night.
Who is this man, and how could he stay here?
When the man left through the door, Mo Fei returned to Shao Minghui's bedroom, and quickly examined the stepping bed, only finding gaps in the stone slabs under its four corners, indicating that it was indeed a movable mechanism.
Obviously, if the Shark Emperor Zhu was really hidden in this Linchun Pavilion, it must be in the secret room under this stepping bed. But the thing that activated the mechanism was too tightly hidden, and Mo Fei had been meticulous enough in his previous exploration, but he still found nothing.
How do I open it?
Do you stay here and find a way to open the trap, or do you keep up with the cloaked guy?
Murphy hesitated for a moment before exiting the room, ready to chase the mysterious man.
After all, this is the cultivation realm, and the mechanism may not need to be transmitted by physical force, it is also likely to be a spell-controlled mechanism, and there may be no way to open it in the room.
Murphy returned to the study, jumped out of the back window, quickly climbed up the wall for another part, then hooked the eaves of the verandah, like a horizontal bar athlete, swinged half a circle, and pushed upward, and then turned onto the roof.
He leaned low over to the front roof and looked down. Linchun Pavilion is more than 20 meters high, the view is excellent, in front of him is a sparkling small lake, along the shore of smoke willows, three or two beautiful girls on the shore, but Mo Fei at this time has no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery, his eyes immediately locked on a hurried figure.
Following the direction he was heading, Mo Fei saw a carriage parked on the willow **. He took out the clairvoyant mirror and opened it to look over, but saw that the carriage had no decoration at all, and it looked extremely low-key.
The Zique Palace station is very large, and it is not surprising that mortals need a carriage to travel, but the man in the cloak can walk two or three meters away with every step, obviously he has some cultivation, and the speed of the carriage may not be as fast as his walking.
Covering your tracks?
Murphy became more and more interested in this strange creature, but instead of immediately chasing it, he swept his eyes around the scene, built a model with the "World Replicator" module, generated a map, and estimated the route of the carriage, and then climbed down unhurriedly, and then plunged into a small road, and ran wildly.
A moment later, Mo Fei stood on top of a very tall cedar tree, photographed himself with a second shadow charm, and his eyes followed a carriage, and after turning into a bend, he tapped the branch on his toes and landed leisurely towards the second fork.
After several forks, Mo Fei had already seen the destination of the carriage, which should be the south gate of the Zique Palace station, which was quite remote and closed all the year round, and after going out, it was the mountain behind Jinguang Peak, and it should reach the outside of Yixian Town all the way down.
In fact, it was precisely because it went all the way out that Mo Fei dared to follow, if the carriage drove to the deeper part of the inner courtyard, where there were likely to be high-ranking monks, he would have given up directly.
At this time, the carriage was about to reach the doorway where the inner courtyard met the outer courtyard, and Mo Fei could no longer follow, but it was not very far from the gap he had found. After only a little thought, Mo Fei immediately turned around, returned to the outer courtyard through the gap, removed his invisible talisman effect, went straight to the Foreign Affairs Hall, took on the task of helping people run errands at random, and went down the mountain from the west gate.
After only walking down a few dozen meters along the mountain road, out of the sight of the disciples on the mountain, he jumped off the road and walked through the bushes and weeds in the direction of the south gate.
With the expected time for the carriage to arrive at the south gate should be faster than his own, Mo Fei did not hesitate to activate a magic talisman and a golden armor talisman, the former to speed up, and the latter to avoid being scratched by the grass and trees during the rapid run. Then he ran like a humanoid beast through the mountains and forests.
More than ten minutes later, the mountain behind Jinguang Peak. Mo Fei hid among the branches of a pine tree, his eyes followed a figure, the man had already removed his hood at this time, revealing the face of a man in his thirties, his round face was a little fat, and his two thick eyebrows were almost connected, looking a little honest.
Mo Fei had already estimated this person's cultivation at this time, and at most it was the Tongmai realm. Without divine thoughts, he naturally does not have that kind of mysterious and mysterious sense of crisis, so he will not be noticed by observing it from such a distance.
The other party is very cautious, but the anti-tracking ability is very average, and he has changed several routes along the way without getting rid of Murphy's surveillance. But Mo Fei also did not have the certainty of effectively defeating the other party, so he did not do anything for a while, just waiting for the opportunity.
After a long while, the man finally stopped, and came to a rock wall covered with vines, and Mo Fei was puzzled, but he saw that he lifted the vines open, and the man suddenly burrowed into them, and disappeared.
Mo Fei was stunned, "Cave?"
Hidden in a tree and waiting for a cup of tea, the man did not come out again, Mo Fei was worried that the cave had another exit, did not dare to delay more, came to the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that there was no ambush with the "heart ripples" of the spiritual power layer, he took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and crushed it, and then lifted the vine and tiptoed into the cave.
The jade talisman was left by Lingwen, and she could get the news after pinching it, which was originally used as a signal for the completion of the task, but in essence, Mo Fei had already made up his mind to use it as a summoning high-level thugs, and at this time he hadn't gotten the Shark Emperor Bead, and Lingwen was going to be angry after coming over, but he didn't care.
It was pitch black in the cave, and Mo Fei's eyes couldn't see anything for a while, his body tensed, and he moved his steps inch by inch.
There was a "snap" sound ahead, it seemed that there were water droplets hitting the rocks, and two fireballs suddenly appeared, Mo Fei was stunned, but he heard the sound of "roar!", the earth trembled, and an object carried the sound of breaking the air and attacked.
In the darkness, Mo Fei could only see the two fireballs approaching rapidly, and he knew that it was not good, so he stepped back suddenly, and at the same time, his right hand summoned a magic weapon sword from the storage ring, raised it and stabbed it forward.
"Ding!" suddenly, Mo Fei only felt a huge force coming from the sword, his arm was numb from the shock, and he almost couldn't hold the hilt of the sword, and the long sword seemed to be held up by something, pushing him to accelerate and retreat, knocking the vines behind him away, and falling out of the hole.
As soon as he arrived outside the cave, Mo Fei rolled his body, got up, and a black shadow swept out in front of him, landing more than two feet away. Mo Fei looked at it, but was taken aback, "Puppet?"
It was a tiger composed of a large piece of wood and some kind of black metal, more than three meters long, a tail like a knotted steel whip, and its eyes were like two coals of fire, still burning, which were the two fireballs that Mo Fei had seen. It stared at Murphy, pacing gracefully, like a true beastmaster examining his prey.
No wonder there is no reaction to the ripples of the heart, a puppet naturally has no heartbeat.
Mo Fei stared at his opponent, and he didn't know if this guy would climb a tree, and with such a strange thought in his heart, a voice suddenly came from the cave: "Ah Da, bite him to death!"
