Trees are dead, but people are alive.

Although the "gatekeeper" informed the approximate location of these people, it did not mean that these people would stand there stupidly and wait for Yang Ji.

What Yang Ji had to consider was that from Tieguan Mountain to here, these evil masters might have left in advance.

"Look again, hopefully these people are still here. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

It is impossible for the gatekeeper to give him a second chance, and Yang Ji knows in his heart that if he fails this time, it will basically mean that the deal between him and the gatekeeper is over.

"Drink!"

"Where ......"

Yang Ji was leaving, and suddenly, a faint sound came from the wind.

"Someone!"

Yang Ji's sleeves shook, and he stepped hard under his feet, shooting out like a swift arrow, a few flashes, along the undulating mountains and forests, towards the place where the wind came.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Ji hadn't approached yet, and suddenly, the dense foliage parted, and a long arrow galloped and went straight to Yang Ji's door.

"Huh?"

Yang Ji's eyes were slightly startled, but his reaction was not slow at all, and the two fingers of his right hand were stretched out, and when the tip of the arrow went straight to the door, he was firmly clamped.

"Shot, shot! hahaha......"

The canopies of the trees were intertwined, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the figures could not be seen clearly, but there was a loud laugh from not far away, mixed with a burst of applause.

"Humph!"

Yang Ji's eyes were slightly angry, he didn't want to think about it, his right hand shook backhand, and with a whoosh, the long arrow shot back the same way and disappeared into the dense woods.

Far away. Only a slight "duh" sound was heard, and then there was silence, and all the sounds were as if they were choking their necks, quietly.

"Whoa!"

Yang Ji's body was like a light swallow, and he flew down from the treetops immediately. Parting the dense leaves, he fell to the ground.

In the cold mountains, what appeared in front of Yang Ji was a small group of people dressed in black or gray, looking like slaves, handymen, bodyguards, and housekeepers.

They carried bows and arrows on their backs, and they had rabbits, roe deer, a rock deer, and a fat wild boar hanging from their bodies, as if they were out on a safari.

The long arrow that Yang Ji shot back was right in front of them. Almost clinging to his clothes, he shot between the crotch of the butler-like man.

The arrow clearly frightened them a lot. The crowd looked slightly panicked.

"Hunting?"

Yang Ji frowned. Looking at their dress, they obviously don't look like some kind of evil masters. However, Yang Ji didn't dare to be careless, Chen Shien and Jiang Jianqing were the best examples.

No one knows if these people will hide in these people.

"Senior brother!"

Unexpectedly, the first greeting was this group of hunters. The middle-aged housekeeper, who was slightly fat, looked at the clothes on Yang Ji's body and bowed respectfully.

"Senior brother!"

Seeing this, the others also saluted, their eyes faintly fearful.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yang Ji raised his head and said sharply, with no expression on his face.

"Back to Senior Brother, from our nearby town. My master is also a disciple of the Iron Crown Sect. ”

A group of people hurriedly pointed out their origins. Signaling that he and Yang Ji are "tied out of the same door":

"It was cold and the food was consumed. New supplies haven't been delivered yet. So we thought about going out to hunt, eat fresh game, and replenish some food by the way. ”

The butler at the head said cautiously.

"Oh. ”

Yang Jijian raised his eyebrows.

"Don't dare to deceive Senior Brother, we are indeed from the town. accidentally shot my brother, and please calm my anger!"

The middle-aged housekeeper was honestly frightened, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Within a hundred miles of this. Everyone has to look up to the Iron Crown Sect's snort. In the normal way, the owner of the house is also an iron crown faction, but it is not a faction.

But they shot Yang Ji by mistake, and they were the first to lose, even if they were killed by Yang Ji. Also died in vain. In terms of status, it was absolutely impossible for them to compare with a disciple of the Iron Crown Sect.

No matter how much their master attaches importance to it, in the case of a loss, he will not come forward for them to fight another disciple of the Iron Crown Sect, but will only treat it as a few dead dogs.

Yang Ji was silent, although he didn't speak, he already believed a lot in his heart.

The town near Iron Crown Mountain, he had been to it himself. The clothes of these people have also been seen there. Nine times out of ten, these are indeed small-town.

It's cold and freezing, and it's normal to have fun in the bitterness, and hunt before the cold winter. It's just that there is still no trace of those evil masters......

"I ask you, have you seen anyone hunting around here, or anything suspicious?"

Yang Ji took a breath and said in a deep voice.

If the gatekeeper is right, then these people have been hunting here, and it is very likely that they have met those evil masters, or know some clues about them.

This is his last clue.

If there is no news of this, it is likely that the mission has failed.

"Man, we're the only ones hunting around here?"

A "warrior" dressed as a bodyguard was surprised.

"Yes, it's impossible for the senior brothers of the Iron Crown Sect to deign to come here to hunt. We haven't seen it either. ”

The other chimed in.

"I'm sorry brother, there are many trees and weeds here. We just went hunting, and probably didn't notice much. ”

Another man in a gray robe and dressed as a handyman said apologetically.

Yang Ji's heart suddenly sank. When the "gatekeeper" sent someone to inform him, these people must have been nearby. If they didn't even see it, then they really didn't.

"It seems that I really can't find it. ”

Yang Ji's heart was full of disappointment.

"Senior Brother......

Just then, a weak voice came from a corner of the crowd. Yang Ji followed the prestige, and saw a young man dressed as a slave was covered with game, raising one arm, looking at himself weakly.

It can be seen that he appeared in this team as a coolie.

"Before, when I was resting nearby. It was as if two people were seen on a nearby hill. ”

The boy said weakly, and this sudden voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Buzz!"

Like an electric current passing through his heart, Yang Ji was shocked, and he separated the crowd and walked over. His eyes lit up:

"Where?"

"Xiao Fang, in front of the senior brother of the Iron Crown Sect. Don't talk nonsense. ”

The middle-aged butler admonished.

"I'm not talking nonsense. ”

The young man named Xiao Fang was a little anxious and stubborn.

"Sue me, where did you see them?"

Yang Ji asked.

"Right there!"

The young man, named Xiao Fang, pointed to the nearby mountain: "They only appeared for a while, and then disappeared. ”

Everyone followed his fingers and looked at him.

I saw that the mountain he was pointing to was not too far away from everyone. It's just that everyone is busy hunting, and no one pays attention. On the contrary, this kid is carrying a stream of game on his back. Wandering around, I have time to pay attention to some miscellaneous things.

"Do you remember what they were wearing?"

Yang Ji ignored everyone, his eyes were full of encouragement.

"It's a bit far away and I can't see clearly. However, I feel like it's white. ”

Encouraged by Yang Ji, the young man named Xiao Fang said loudly.

"Thank you. ”

Yang Ji patted him on the shoulder, and his heart was overjoyed.

All the way over, except for this group of people. The others didn't see any of them. Originally, Yang Ji had given up hope, but he didn't expect to get a clue here.

"Whew!"

The figure flickered. Yang Ji's sleeves fluttered, like a big bird, stepping on the branches, sweeping in the direction pointed by the young man. After flying out of more than ten zhang, he suddenly thought of something, his body folded, and he came back again.

"Here's for you. Thank you very much!"

Yang Ji flicked his fingers and flicked out the stack of silver tickets on his body like sharp arrows. The silver ticket was so bloody that it cut off even the leaves:

"Also, be nice to him!--I remember you. ”

After Yang Ji said this, he turned around and left. For the teenager. That's all Yang Ji can do.

According to the young man's guidance, Yang Ji flew to the top of the mountain, and at the location he said, he saw a line of messy footprints.

"That little fang is right, the evil masters that the gatekeeper said are likely to be these people. ”

Yang Ji was overjoyed.

At other times, there were many warriors in the mountains, and there were people of any origin, and Yang Ji was really not sure. But at this time, this kind of location, plus the "gatekeeper" specifically indicated that it was more than twenty miles northwest...... , Yang Ji already has a great possibility, it is these people.

"The traces are still relatively new. There is no accident, there should be only two people, and it should have only been a short time since Cheng left. As long as you chase, you should be able to catch up. ”

Yang Ji carefully looked at the messy footprints on the ground, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Hey, how did these footprints disappear here, strange?"

The footprints on the top of the mountain are only in a small range. Out of this range, the footprints suddenly disappeared. The "warrior" uses his strength to fly on the treetops, which is a breeze.

But within a dozen feet of the summit are some dwarf, slender trees, and most of them are shrubs. You can't borrow this kind of thing.

Under normal circumstances, no one would leave such a large and obvious footprint in order to hide their tracks. What's more, the identities of these people have not been revealed, and there is absolutely no reason to do so.

"It's weird!"

Yang Ji was secretly surprised. These people left some footprints at the top of the mountain, and then it was as if they had disappeared into thin air as if they had disappeared into thin air.

Yang Ji thought about it left and right, but he didn't know the essentials, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"No matter. Find them first!"

Yang Jiyi gritted his teeth, stood up, and flew away in the direction of the west.

-- That's where the footprints last pointed.

......

Yang Ji's tracking was not in vain, about ten miles later, on a distant mountain, Yang Ji finally saw the figure:

Under the shade of the trees, two young men about seven feet tall stood on the top of the hill looming, not knowing what they were doing. The clothes on their bodies were slightly white, exactly the same as the description of the young man named "Xiao Fang".

"Found it!"

Yang Ji was overjoyed. There must be demons when things are abnormal, and the clothes of these two people are not disciples of the Iron Crown Sect at all, and there is definitely a problem with appearing here at this time, appearing in this area and direction.

"Smack!"

Yang Ji stepped on his feet and immediately fell to the treetops. Before the man had landed, he touched the trunk of the tree lightly, and through the cover of the bushes, he quickly approached the hill where the two suspicious-looking men were. (To be continued......)
