Chapter 175: Damp Dirt

The seven people in front of him, although they are all guards in iron clothes, are not very old, no matter how high their talent is, after all, the strength realm is there. And the reason that really made Helian Tiexin hesitate to make a move was Lin Fenghuo.

In the previous fierce battle in the Queshan camp, whether it was a sneak attack by an eagle or a defeat to Lu Jian's domineering stick method, it was obvious that these two people were coming for the swarthy boy.

The white-haired old man was not sure if he made a rash move at this time, whether he would attract other masters to make a move, after all, whether it was revenge or eliminating a potential threat, compared to his own life, these were not important.

The old man poked his head out from behind the mound, stared at the swarthy young man viciously a few more times, then turned around and disappeared into the dense forest behind him.

The seven people gathered around the huge dead tree naturally didn't know the white-haired old man's plans, and it was not difficult to guess from Wang Bodang's analysis just now that the enemy was nearby.

Everyone surrounded Zhong Lingxi and Li Xintian in the middle, and the other five people formed a circle.

"New girl, have you found anything?" Zhou Di asked in a low voice.

The girl had already put on her mask again at this time, she slowly raised her palm from the ground, shook her head, and said, "There is no trace of the enemy within a radius of fifty zhang. ”

"And what about a little farther away?" Yi Xifeng asked.

The girl looked down at the dirt on her palm, and while rubbing it with her slender fingers, she said to the white young man, "No matter how far away, it is not so accurate to perceive. ”

Wang Bodang was concentrating on observing the surrounding canopy at this time, and no one could compare to this sturdy young man in the ability to reverse tracking in the jungle, and after a while, he continued: "There is no trace of the enemy in the canopy within a range of fifty zhang around. ”

The seven people in the audience fell silent for a while.

At this time, Li Xintian said loudly:

"I couldn't feel the distance, but I could tell which way the enemy was fleeing from the dampness of the dirt. ”

"How humid?" Zhong Lingxi asked curiously.

Wang Bodang nodded and helped explain:

"That's right, when tracking in the field, the wetness of the soil is indeed a more important basis, and we are lucky, on the one hand, there are new masters of perception, and on the other hand, ......."

Saying that, the sturdy young man paused, walked to the dead wood on the side, pulled out a small piece of soil from the tree hole, rubbed it with his fingers, and said with a smile: "On the other hand, it happened that the other party was recovering from his injuries in this tree hole, he was sweating a lot, and the soil was wet. ”

It turned out that the masked girl had been rubbing the dirt with her fingers to tell the difference between the dirt on the ground and the dirt in the hollow of the tree.

Just like an athlete, when he finishes a 10,000-meter run, as soon as he approaches you, you can feel the steaming heat on his body. Even if the man is gone, the place where he stayed will leave the smell of sweat on his body for a short time, but with the circulation of the air, this smell will dissipate, but the breath left on the land will be preserved for a longer time.

It was with the help of this principle that Li Xintian was able to roughly deduce the direction of Helian Tiexin's escape.

Yi Xifeng was a little shocked and said, "This is okay?"

The masked girl stretched out her hand and patted the white boy on the shoulder, and said, "The specific position can't be locked, but the general direction can still be seen." ”

Saying that, Li Xintian stretched out his hand and pointed to the mound not far away, and said softly: "It should be that direction." ”

Zhou Di nodded, even if the girl didn't say it, he would go in that direction next, because from the surrounding terrain, it was a commanding height near here, whether it was ambushing the enemy or observing the enemy's situation, it was a good place.

And the people did not tarnish any longer, but kept their formation and walked quickly towards the mound.

Soon the seven of them arrived, and after a brief search around, they found some clues.

"It's footprints! It's an adult man, tall and tall, and it should be Helian Tiexin. Zhou Di looked at the footprints found not far from this mound and quickly made a judgment.

"Now that you have found the traces of the other party, then you can continue to chase them. Zhao Long said unprecedentedly.

Everyone looked at each other, and it was obvious that this was the only way.

Lin Fenghuo glanced at the pair of footprints, then looked at the mound behind him, and asked with some confusion, "Have you noticed? ”

Yi Xifeng looked at the other party, and then asked, "What's the problem?"

The swarthy young man glanced at everyone and explained, "You see that this footprint is so close to that mound, it means that Helian Tiexin was behind this mound before, he should be watching us, in other words, the enemy already knows that we are coming." ”

The seven people present were all elites of Yinren Village, and after he reminded them like this, they naturally understood the problem.

Zhong Lingxi asked tentatively, "You mean, he knew that we were coming, and then observed our movements here?"

"And that's not the problem, the question is why didn't the other party make a move?" Yi Xifeng continued.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, apparently aware of this unreasonable situation. After all, the seven of them are in the light, and the other party is in the dark, and the other party has an absolute strength advantage.

Zhao Long thought for a while and said: "There are only two possibilities, one is that he is too seriously injured and is afraid of our strength or someone, so he does not dare to attack us easily, and the other possibility is that he has more important things to do." ”

Zhou Di held Fang Tianhalberd in his hand, thought for a while and said: "If you can't figure out some things, let them go first, and when you catch up with the other party, many things will naturally be understood." ”

The seven of them pondered for a moment, but they really couldn't find any clue, so they continued to chase after Helian Tiexin.

.............................. Dividing line ..............................

Tiexin Village, northern border.

"Captain, you can come back, the spies ahead are coming to report!" When Zhao Feng had just returned to the camp in the north of Tiexin Village, he was blocked by a doorman.

"What's the matter with the news from the front?" asked the handsome young man, confused.

The doorman bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The spies came to report, Ji Rentu suddenly opened and rushed to the border, and it is expected to arrive early tomorrow morning." ”

The young man smiled, "It seems that this old boy is not stupid!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to let the doorman go down, and summoned a group of veterans of the Shenfeng Battalion to the camp tent to discuss.

In just half a cup of tea, in Zhao Feng's big tent, there were more than 30 middle-aged warriors.

The handsome young man looked at the more than thirty powerful men in the tent, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sent a few henchmen to guard the door of the big tent, not letting anyone get close to the surrounding ten zhang, and then he walked up to Qi Lao Liu, nodded and said: "Qi Ye, you see I have summoned all the people!"

The scar-faced man opened his eyes and glanced at the young man, hummed lightly, then stood up, walked to the top of the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Just now I followed Deputy Zhao to the camp in Yinren Village, and I met the young master!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man was stunned, stretched out his thumb and picked it up.

"Which young master?"

"Yes, who are you talking about, Sixth Brother?"

"Could it be?!"

Regardless of everyone's speculation, Qi Lao Liu smiled and said, "Haha, of course it's the cub of the eldest brother!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

"What! Big brother has cubs?"

"No, I have to go see Young Master Qi too!"

"Ma San, don't worry, I'll go with you!"

Looking at the suddenly lively camp, Qi Lao Liu did not stop it immediately, but looked at everyone with a smile. After a while, the strong man coughed lightly and said, "Don't rush to see the young master first, our top priority now is to complete this mission!"

Everyone's attention was pulled back again, Qi Laoliu pointed to Zhao Feng on the side, and said, "Do you remember what Captain Zhao told us? ”

The "Captain Zhao" that the old man said naturally did not refer to Zhao Feng, the vice captain. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Shenfeng Battalion, only Zhao Yuntian can afford the three words "Captain Zhao"!

Saying that, Zhao Feng hurriedly smiled and raised his hand to signal, and said, "Seniors, please advise." ”

Just looking at his lazy appearance leaning on the couch, Qi Lao Liu's brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing the scar-faced man frowning, the young man quickly jumped up from the couch, bowed down with a smile and said, "Advise more, advise more!"
