Mowgli stopped, gasping for air.

Although he has been exercising hard, he does not have an adequate supply of nutrients, and his physical condition is far from excellent. Judging from the experience of his previous life, speaking of fourteen years old, his physical fitness is the appearance of eleven or twelve years old, and being able to run five or six miles of mountain roads in one breath is already his limit.

He carefully found a hiding place and hid in it to rest. It was still the frontier of the Empire, and although there were not many soldiers on the defensive, patrols often passed by. The patrol team has many people with dog and bird lives, and can find subtle clues from the ground and the sky. The reason why Wuji chose the dense mountains and forests to escape was because he was afraid of being seen by those soldiers who could fly.

However, he could not avoid being discovered by the patrols on the ground, and could only hope that his fate was good enough to escape far enough before they found out.

He didn't know how far he had to run to be safe, and he didn't know if there was real safety, he just ran forward.

At this point, he no longer knew where to go—his sneaky preparations were limited and not sufficient—he only knew to look at the sun and keep running in a southeasterly direction. It is said that the Purple Moon Forest is just behind Tangshan, and it is said that the Demon Kingdom is in the Purple Moon Forest.

Tangshan doesn't look very tall, but Wuji has rested three times, and the main peak of Tangshan seems to be still so far away, and it is not much closer.

Mowgli is not impatient. Wangshan ran a dead horse, the mountain road was never a smooth road, he walked with difficulty, and the soldiers of the empire walked with the same difficulty. He chose the mountain road, and chose the difficult mountain road as much as possible, for a more important reason: he was worried that Yin Xuan would chase after him. Yin Xuan had more than twenty centaur knights around him, if he was on flat ground, no matter how fast he ran, these centaur knights could quickly catch up with him, but in the mountains, these centaur knights couldn't get up fast at all.

When he was resting, he was not idle, pricking up his ears and listening carefully to every move around him, while his eyes were wide open, staring at the trees and trees around him. He thought it was strange that until now, he had not seen the shadow of the old man and the beautiful boy, and their speed seemed to be faster than he expected.

"What the hell are these two guys doing?" Wuji muttered to himself, crawled out of his hiding place, looked around, identified the main peak of Tangshan, and continued to move forward.

......

Yin Xuan jumped out of the carriage and looked at the half-old carriage on the side of the road, feeling a little bad.

He doesn't care about Wuji, he is just a man who doesn't know what to do, and it is just a matter of raising his hand to take his life, and he doesn't need to do it himself. His target is the guy who gives Mowgli the silver medal. Silver medals are not an ordinary thing, at least they can only be possessed by county-level temples. There are priests from county-level temples who have arrived in Crouching Tiger Town, but the government and shrine in Crouching Tiger Town have not received any news, which in itself is a bit unusual.

Now, he saw the carriage, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for. The other party took the lead and entered the mountain forest, which frustrated his hopes of quickly achieving his goal.

Linghu Minzhi also got out of the car, and Zhao Hu ran over diligently and opened the car door. Linghu Minzhi stood at the door of the car, quickly glanced at it, and then walked to the old horse pulling the cart, opened the horse's ears, looked at it, and chuckled.

"What did you find?" Yin Xuan walked over, put his hands behind his back, and stood beside Ling Hu Minzhi.

"It was a horse bought at a nearby horse market. Ling Hu Minzhi tilted his head slightly, looking respectful but not too out of place. "The other party was cautious and did not leave anything that might expose him. ”

Yin Xuan frowned: "Then what should I do?"

"It doesn't matter, no matter how shrewd he is, he can't be without a trace. Linghu Minzhi called Du Yu to his side and pointed to the carriage. "Can you smell some?"

Du Yu walked to the carriage, looked closely, sniffed the door handle first, and then climbed into the carriage on tiptoe. After sniffing carefully under the car window for a while, he returned to Ling Hu Minzhi's side. "Two people. An old man, who may not be in good health, smells of medicine. There was also a young man, probably a young woman, no more than fourteen years old. ”

Yin Xuan frowned, and there was some doubt in his eyes. "You can even smell age?"

Du Yu's face was slightly red: "General, women usually come to Tianqi at the age of fourteen. After coming to Tianqi, the body odor will change. This woman has a pure body odor, so the subordinates can be sure that she is not more than fourteen years old. ”

Yin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Ling Hu Minzhi smiled: "How long have they been gone?"

"No more than two hours. ”

"Can you catch up?"

"Yes. Du Yu thought for a moment and said, "However, it is best to catch up within an hour." Thirty miles away, there is a waterfall, called Hupao Spring, which has a large amount of water and flows to the other side of the mountain. Once they cross the mountain stream, I may not be able to track them. ”

Linghu Minzhi turned his gaze to Yin Xuan, Yin Xuan thought for a while, and immediately nodded. "Gai Qing, you go with them, and if you see the target, spare his life. Zhao Hu, Du Yu, a few of you are familiar with the terrain, follow Gai Qing together. ”

Zhao Hu and Du Yu didn't dare to slack off, responded loudly, and then followed Gai Qing to leave the official road and rushed into the mountains and forests.

Yin Xuan twisted his neck, stretched out his arm, raised his head and looked around, and chuckled: "I don't know what the origin of these two people is, it's worth it for Lao Tzu to do it himself." I haven't been active for a few days, and I'm itching all over. Minzhi, otherwise, let's just go to the Purple Moon Forest, slaughter a few demon cubs, and loosen our muscles. ”

Ling Hu Minzhi smiled and said nothing, Yin Xuan saw it, and shrugged his shoulders a little boringly.

......

Wuji's fingers clasped a stone crack, and his body was tightly pressed against the stone wall that was warmed by the setting sun, but his back was cold for a while.

He had just heard a tiger roar from the opposite hillside.

This tiger roar is very familiar, it is none other than Zhao Hu. He could even hear the bloodthirsty excitement in the roar of the tiger. He knew what Zhao Hu's mood would be now, but he didn't expect Zhao Hu to chase after him so quickly.

The original man is the original person, no matter how tenacious he is, his physical strength cannot be compared with a mutant like Zhao Hu. Even the fastest runner is not worth mentioning in front of animals. Even on such a mountainous terrain, Zhao Hu's speed far surpassed him.

Damn, it's really ghostly. Wuji scolded viciously, looked around, gritted his teeth, and continued to climb up despite the sore arm. He had already heard the sound of rushing water, and if he could jump into the water before Zhao Hu and the others caught up, he might be able to go down the river and escape.
