Chapter 226: Clues
In this way, finally three days later, Lu Ming's feet stepped on a small hill and stepped on a few small sand stones. As far as the eye can see, there are few trees here, mostly gravel and gravel, almost all of which are mixed with yellow sand, and there are not many plants that can grow in this environment. In addition to the hills under my feet, I don't know how far away I can see the mountains again, and in between, there is the Gobi like a subtle wave.
However, Feng Xiangtian, who had been following behind Lu Ming, was extremely surprised, in the past three days, it was actually not peaceful at all, not only did he see a bigger wave of ghost swordsmen, but also saw that there were sword apes chasing and killing sword students, and even two larger sword teams were fighting each other because of a sword without a master......
But I just watched all this, and now in retrospect, before every big thing happened, Lu Ming told everyone the route in advance, if it wasn't for his curiosity and looking back, he couldn't find himself behind or even around, more fierce survival scenes were staged, if it was once or twice, it was just like this, and it has been like this for the past three days.
Standing next to Lu Ming, Zhuo Ligetu overlooked the whole land, but only saw the Gobi that was more desolate than the outside of the Saiwai, but Zhuo Ligetu was even more surprised in his heart, through this period of contact, he found that Lu Ming's vigilance was much higher than his own, and he could premonition in advance that every thorn was in danger, I really don't know how he cultivated to be so alert, after all, he is an outsider!
"Let's go, let's go down and get to that position. Lu Ming said indifferently. Just go down.
Zhuo Ligetu has been accustomed to Lu Ming's character for a long time, but after habitually following him there, he found that he was already halfway up the mountain, there is a small platform here, standing on it, you can still see a large area of the Gobi, no matter what is on it, it will not escape his eyes, but at the same time, it is very hidden, lying on this platform. The people below are looking up at themselves. I can't find any clues, the most important thing is that there are still some weeds here that have long been rare, which can bring more concealment to themselves, and this platform. It's also great for lying down in the sun.
The crowd was really tired. After checking the surroundings. Immediately start meditating, regulate your true qi, and let your body recover quickly.
Lu Ming couldn't stay still. In the past few days, I have seen that many sword students have begun to converge here, and they may not necessarily know the news, but after seeing many people walking this way, they will also follow curiously, so they must grasp the opportunity, so they said: "You rest here, monitor all the movements around you, and I will go to find the missing place to see if there are any possible existences found above." ”
Leng Jian directly grabbed the sword and stood up, and said, "I'll go with you." ”
"No, I don't. ”
"No, I don't. ”
Leng Jian, who had just gotten up, was stunned for a moment, and found that he was going to follow, but there were two voices saying no, the first voice was naturally Lu Ming, but it was followed by Ouyang Luo, who had been silent, just seeing the calmness of the two, Leng Jian smiled bitterly, Lu Ming, this kid will not even be his opponent, how can there be any problem? If he follows, if something really happens, he may also drag Lu Ming back. After all, these days, he has been vigilant about all the movements on his road, and he is very accurate, just by virtue of this, there are many people who want to arrest him, and it is impossible at all, because seeing Lu Ming return here is as familiar as returning home.
Lu Ming naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking, he sneaked down the mountain quietly, his feet were like flying, and his indifferent figure was as fast as a galloping horse, but unlike other people running, Lu Ming ran almost silently, and there was almost no dust on this dry Gobi.
Leng Jian looked up at Lu Ming's gradually smaller back, and he was also shocked in his heart, he really didn't know how he, a loser, had such a wealth of knowledge!
Lu Ming walked and observed the surroundings, the direction of the southwest corner that Jiansheng said, judging from the route he had taken all the way, that is, the place under his feet now, but it was a little unexpected by Lu Ming. As far as the eye can see, the vast land is full of heavy and dead air, as if it is shrouded in night, and nothing can be seen in the distance, and just this Gobi Desert is already endless, so big that it seems to have no boundary.
Lu Ming walked on the Gobi, the sand under his feet was hard and cold, and the traces etched by the years were buried by the fine sand swept by the gusts of wind, and then the next gust of wind would blow away the fine sand, reproducing the original appearance of the Gobi, which made Lu Ming very fortunate for his luck, this is not a desert, otherwise even if there are more traces and clues, they will be buried by the yellow sand.
Lu Ming's indifferent eyes continued to scan the surrounding environment, and the power of the sword marks gradually penetrated out, intertwined with those dead qi and resentment, and at the same time, his brain was spinning rapidly, gradually analyzing the terrain here, and the hills and ravines, and the waves of sand all came to mind.
Gradually, a map with a small range was slowly sorted out by Lu Ming, but in comparison, it was exactly the same as the 300-meter radius of the place where he was.
Within the control of the power of the sword marks, Lu Ming could completely do such accurate scanning and imaging, and it could be directly deeply engraved in his mind.
In this way, Lu Ming walked step by step to the depths of the Gobi, recording the ground situation in every place, and then all the scene fragments in his memory began to be spliced together under his control, and a broad panorama of the region was depicted.
This is not a special function, but Lu Ming's subtle observation can capture every prominent point on the ground, and his memory is not picky, this kind of complex calculation, with the support of the power of the sword mark, is almost a second.
Lu Mingzai carefully examined all these traces, and after more than an hour, a small piece of iron on the ground caught his attention, and after picking it up, he found that this was not an ordinary piece of iron, but a small piece of sword body, and from the traces of breaking on it, it seemed that this sword was shattered by someone with sword qi.
The point is, the material of this sword is enough to reach fifteen forgings!
Although the fifteen-forged sword is not very advanced, and the fighting technique will also leave a hidden danger to the sword itself, but it cannot cover up the forging number of the fifteen-forging itself, and if you want to shatter this sword, the opponent's sword realm must completely override the swordsman holding this sword, judging by the burst marks when it breaks, the other party has already used the power of the peak great sword master at that time.
Although this is the realm controlled by the Sword Hall Organization, it cannot completely prevent outsiders from coming to explore, if there is really a peak great sword master here, among the many sword students, it must be the existence of the absolute king.
Lu Ming frowned, while thinking, his eyes kept scanning the ground, and less than three meters away from the broken sword fragment, he found a footprint, and after probing the hardness of the soil on it with his hand, he found that this footprint had existed for more than a year.
Lu Ming raised his eyes and scanned the past, and found that this generation did have some traces of fighting, and the area was not small, the key was that there were still many blood stains here, and a lot of blood stains.
The color of these blood stains is buried by the light and wind and sand, and it no longer exists, and it is impossible to detect it with the naked eye, even if the Sword Master comes here, he can't find the blood stains at all, but as a killer, he has a natural sensitivity to the smell of blood, even if there is only a trace of blood left, his intuition will constantly remind himself.
But now that he has a sword mark, its power can detect the existence of every trace element in the air, and the sword mark was condensed at the peak of his killer career, it is affected by its own breath, and it is more sensitive to bloody breath.
Lu Ming had been releasing the power of the sword marks, and after seeing this bloodstain, Lu Ming had even imagined in his brain how this person was injured, and what kind of injury could spurt out this bloodstain.
However, Lu Ming didn't care about these, because under the observation of the sword marks, he found that there were pieces of fresh traces in this area, which were very light, but real. It's just that it's still uncertain whether it's a human or a ghost swordsman's footprint, and I've heard from everyone along the way that the sword ape, a creature with a strong spirit, often dresses up as an adult and wears shoes.
So Lu Ming can only call it an object now, and after searching carefully, Lu Ming is even more sure that there is an object coming, and these traces are repeated, indicating that this object will come to explore from time to time, and these new traces are almost the same as these few days according to the time, but they, for the time being, call them first, what are they here to explore?
When you come here, most of them should be inseparable from the Holy Maiden of the Sword Hall!
Lu Ming thought about this, but his face was relaxed, if the other party really came to find news about the Holy Maiden, then he only needed to sit and wait to observe and see what they were looking for, which would bring him a lot of convenience, after all, now he just got such a message, and the specific things are not clear at all.
Based on the experience summarized over the years, it is always much clearer to observe the unknown than to be immersive.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming turned around and walked in the direction he came, during this time, all he needed to do was to accumulate enough physical strength and sword qi.
Lu Ming returned to the resting place, Zhuo Li Getu and the others had cleaned up this area during this time, and set up three simple marching tents, although only tree branches and two small blankets were composed, but they could also shelter from the wind and rain, and used dry firewood to light a small pile of fire, such a fire can almost be compared with charcoal, and there is no smoke, it is obvious that this wild survival experience of this friend outside the Saiwai has a very unique place.
But that's it, a simple but standard camp is built. (To be continued......)
