Chapter 267: Tracking the Trail
The man in black didn't seem to be worried about his tricks, and said casually: "Then you stand up and take a look, this place is not far from the place just now, I believe you can tell it, if you can't, then you have no value in existence." β
Zhang Anhe smiled humbly: "Thank you, I will definitely be able to help you, and please let me live later!" β
As he spoke, he propped his hands on the ground, slowly propped up his upper body, and then stood up.
The man in black looked at him indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you help me find Ling Jiuqiu, I will let you live, otherwise, your fate is only death." β
"I understand!"
Zhang Anhe nodded, then turned his eyes around, observing the direction he was in at this time.
The Spirit Sea Realm martial artist's observation and memory were extremely strong, and he soon found the location he was in before he fell unconscious through a few trees with somewhat iconic formsβnot far away from a few dozen meters away.
According to the arrangement of the trees, he quickly determined the direction in his mind, and thus remembered the direction that Ling Jiuqiu had left at that time.
"It's over there, Ling Jiuqiu left from that direction, if I haven't been in a coma for a long time, Ling Jiuqiu should be not far ahead."
Zhang Anhe pointed in a certain direction.
As soon as the words fell.
The man in black slapped his left hand on his shoulder, making him tremble with fright, almost thinking that the other party was going to kill him.
But immediately, the slightly hoarse and indifferent voice of the man in black sounded in his ears again.
"Don't make any extra moves, relax your body, or I won't hesitate to kill you."
After speaking, the man in black jumped up with his body in his hand, jumped on a thick branch, and jumped forward in the forest.
β¦β¦
"Bang!"
A black shadow flickered rapidly through the forest, rubbing against the clusters of dense foliage, making a slight sound from time to time, like the sound of a breeze blowing through the foliage.
The man in black carried Zhang Anhe's body and quietly moved forward, and the eyes of the two searched the surroundings from time to time for all possible traces.
Soon, they made a discovery.
It was a large cloud of dark red blood, as if it had been sprayed out of a broken water pipe, and a burst of brain shot at the earth and branches.
The man in black jumped down with Zhang Anhe's body and observed for a while in front of the bloodstains.
"Judging from this large-scale spraying of bloodstains, it must be a sharp weapon that cuts off a certain organ of the demon beast, causing the blood vessels to break and spray out the traces, most likely to be directly decapitated, it is possible to form such a bloodstain, then the attacker must be a human being, not a demon beast fighting each other."
"The blood has no temperature, but it has not completely coagulated, which means that the other party has not gone far, at most he has only left for a few minutes."
"It's probably Ling Jiuqiu."
"It's just that, where did the corpse of the demon beast go? Even if Ling Jiuqiu's body happened to be swallowed by other demon beasts within a few minutes of leaving, at least a little bit of body or scraps of meat would be left. β
"Why is there no trace at all?"
After the man in black quickly finished his analysis, such doubts popped up in his mind.
But no one gave him an answer.
He didn't plan to dig deeper.
After continuing to observe the surrounding traces for a while, he saw a small patch of low grass that had been cut off by a sharp weapon, and a few less obvious footprints.
"Completely ignoring the cleanup of traces, there is simply no concept of survival in the wild, is it true that the academy does not teach this knowledge now? Or is it that this guy Ling Jiuqiu prides himself on being extremely talented and thinks that he can crush everything with his strength, so he doesn't care about these common sense? β
"But, anyway, it's just right for me to get the job done."
The black-clothed man sneered in his heart, jumped on the branch with Zhang Anhe's body, and observed the movement traces on the ground for a while, before continuing to jump forward.
In fact, Ling Jiuqiu didn't have the common sense of survival in the wild, but felt that in this controlled trial area, there was no need to deliberately hide his tracks, and it was impossible for demon beasts to find him with these traces anyway.
Of course, even if the demon beast can really take the initiative to send it to the door with traces, it will make Jiuqiu happier, so that it will be easier and more convenient to hunt.
As for the other students who participated in the trial, basically no one would deliberately look for the traces of others based on the traces.
Therefore, Ling Jiuqiu didn't plan to hide his whereabouts at all, he just moved around the mountains at will, hunting demon beasts one after another.
Sometimes it's as leisurely as a walk.
From time to time, he is running fast in the running body.
Because of this, although he sometimes leaves a visible footprint, he also sometimes moves his way through the jungle silently, leaving no trace.
This also makes the progress of the pursuit of the man in black frequently blocked.
"Damn, there's no trace of it again."
"Where the hell did this kid go? There are no footprints, not even a single sound of battle, am I chasing in the wrong direction? β
The man in black stopped, carrying Zhang Anhe's body and standing on a thick branch, his eyes searched carefully on the ground, trying to find possible footprints, but nothing was found.
He knew that the man had been chased and lost.
Since sneaking into the trial area yesterday afternoon, it has been searching for most of the day now, and this time it was finally so close to Ling Jiuqiu, and it was only a few minutes away from catching the other party, but as a result, he was now chased and lost by himself.
This made him feel bad.
He glanced at Zhang Anhe and said coldly: "Tell me, what else are you worth?" β
The cold voice was like the biting cold wind of winter, as if it was blowing directly into Zhang Anhe's bone marrow, making him tremble all over, and his body instantly stiffened.
Zhang Anhe sensed the other party's killing intent.
He understood that if he didn't have any use value in the future, he would immediately be killed mercilessly by this black-clothed man with innate realm strength.
And his value is to help the other party find Ling Jiuqiu's whereabouts.
However, where should he go to find Ling Jiuqiu?
Although he also knew that even if he helped the other party find Ling Jiuqiu, he might not have a chance to survive, but it was much better to have a little hope of survival than to be sent to death directly.
Zhang Anhe's thoughts were spinning wildly, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, I am very familiar with Ling Jiuqiu, and I know a lot of his habits, if I find some footprints, I will definitely be able to see if it was left by Ling Jiuqiu." β
"Although I can't help adults find Ling Jiuqiu for the time being, I can determine whether the other party is Ling Jiuqiu through footprints and some traces of life, so as not to find the wrong target for adults, so I ......"
Before he finished his words, he felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
"Useless stuff."
The man in black glanced at Zhang Anhe's body coldly, found a place to bury it, and then randomly chose a direction to move forward and continue to trace Ling Jiuqiu's whereabouts.
