Chapter 45: The Great Footprint
Wu Qiu's entire team evacuated except for Lu Chuan.
Because in this vast mountain, it is very difficult to take an injured person with limited mobility out, and if there are nine people, there will be no problem, and it will be safer.
Fortunately, after Zhou Ji found the leader of the other team, when he heard that he could leave now and receive a bounty, that person was willing from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Chuan naturally became the leader of the other team.
However, he felt that it would be more accurate to call him a pathfinder, because his role had always been to find the way rather than lead the way.
Wu Qiu was very grateful to Lu Chuan, and kept saying that Lu Chuan saved his life, although Lu Chuan didn't care about this matter, he would not deny this.
Because it's a fact.
Wu Qiu asked Lu Chuan to go to him after returning to the court, and he wanted to personally set up a banquet to thank Lu Chuan for his kindness.
Lu Chuan casually responded to this matter, and he generally accepted the kindness of others.
The army then continued to advance deeper into the mountains.
It's just that there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the depths of the mountains and forests, poisonous snakes and anything are not uncommon, and there are large carnivorous beasts before, so Lu Chuan walked very carefully.
And because of the previous incident, he got the military saber sent by Wu Qiu for self-defense and pathfinding, for which Lu Chuan was very grateful to him.
When the Zixiao Sword couldn't be taken out, Wu Qiu's knife was indeed a send-off.
Bang!
A few days later, when the search was found under a mountain peak, suddenly a white smoke rose into the sky thirty zhang away to the right of Lu Chuan.
Seeing this, all the teams immediately stopped and stood by, because it was a signal that someone in the team had found something.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Jiyi rushed to the middle first, and the team behind followed suit.
Under the peaks.
When Lu Chuan passed over, he saw that Huang Feihu had already arrived, he was the closest in the middle lane, and the dragon ring in charge of the right side also arrived at about the same time.
Huang Feihu was followed by the Colorful Divine Cow, and he was standing in front of a huge footprint at this time, silent, his expression a little solemn.
Zhou Ji and Long Huan also quickly stepped forward after dismounting and asked Huang Feihu what the situation was.
In the crowd, Lu Chuan glanced at the footprints from a distance, and his eyelids jumped.
I saw that the footprint was three feet in size, and the footprint looked somewhat similar to that of a human, and it sank deep into the ground, and the stones under the footprint were trampled into powder.
"Big brother, this is ......"
After seeing this huge footprint on the ground, even Zhou Ji and Long Huan couldn't help but be surprised.
It's just that the footprints are so big, so you can imagine how huge the owner of the footprints should be, and it will not be easy to deal with such a big monster.
When Lu Chuan saw this footprint, those who led the way naturally saw it too.
Immediately afterward, many people turned pale with fright, and they all began to talk in a hurry, but they were undoubtedly in a deep panic.
Ordinary wolves, insects, tigers and leopards still pose a threat to their lives, not to mention the guys who are at most half a human with footprints.
Lu Chuan ignored them, and of course he wouldn't laugh at them or even despise them for being timid, because this footprint made him feel a little stunned when he saw it.
At this moment, he put all his attention on Huang Feihu and the others, there was no doubt that with such a large footprint, the size of that fierce beast would definitely not be small.
Such a big beast, what are they going to do with Huang Feihu?
Since he is here, such a fierce beast Lu Chuan naturally wants to meet him, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with Shen Gongbao when he goes back.
As for the idea of belligerent......
He felt that he could take it a long time, he might not be able to deal with such a big guy, and everything was better to be cautious.
Ahead.
Huang Feihu nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "It seems that the beast we are searching for is undoubtedly it." ”
"But...... This guy's footprints...... How can it be so big?"
Even Zhou Ji, who had just kicked the big brown bear to death in front of Lu Chuan's eyes, was very surprised and surprised at this time.
"Strange, how can there be only one footprint around here?"
Long Huan turned his head to look around, and when he found that there were no more footprints to match, he said strangely: "Could it be that this monster is a one-legged one-legged one?"
"I've sent someone to search around, and the results should be available soon......"
As they were talking, they suddenly heard the chaos and noise behind them, and when they turned around, they saw a chaotic scene.
"What's the matter with these people?" Longhuan frowned at the soldier to the side.
The soldier went to inquire, and soon came back and said, "General Qiyu, they were frightened when they saw this footprint, and they refused to go any further. ”
"Hmph, these unplanted guys," Long Huan said angrily when he heard this: "It's useless along the way, and you still have to restrain us at a critical time, and you still have the face to reward the silver ......"
"Brother Xian's words are wrong, you are a brave general, but they are all ordinary people, how can the two be the same?"
Zhou Ji shook his head: "People can't stand without trust, since the eldest brother promised to give a reward, then there must be no less, otherwise it will be bad to lose trust to the people!"
"Report!"
As he was talking, suddenly a soldier ran in front of him and said, "General Qiyu, my subordinates have found another huge footprint thirty zhang ahead." ”
Before the words were spoken, another soldier came and said, "Thirty zhang later, such a big footprint was also found. ”
The sound was very loud, even Lu Chuan could hear it clearly.
Hearing this, those who led the way were even more panicked, and some even became so frightened that their hands and feet became weak, and they sat down directly on the place.
"Shhh
Hearing this, Lu Chuan also secretly took a cool breath, one step is a hundred meters, such a big step?
"It shouldn't be!"
But immediately he felt that it was a little impossible, even if the beast's feet were three feet long, and its footprints were very similar to human feet.
If you calculate its height according to people, the height of this beast is about seven meters.
But don't say seven meters, even ten meters may not be able to walk 100 meters in one step, unless you ......
"Jump!"
Lu Chuan's eyes flashed: "This monster jumped all the way." ”
Jumping thirty feet away in one step sounds much more believable than walking, and the footprints on the ground are so deep that the stones under the footprints have been trampled into powder as evidence.
But if you have the ability to jump out of thirty feet in one step, that monster is really terrifying!
"Let them go!"
Seeing this, Huang Feihu shook his head and said, "Now that we have found the traces of that fierce beast, we don't need them, let's move forward quickly!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Ji took the order and asked all the people who led the way to leave, and sent a small team of flying tiger soldiers to escort them to avoid accidents.
Lu Chuan did not continue to stay this time, but followed the rest of the leaders to turn back.
Glancing back, Huang Feihu Shangniu led the army in the direction of the footprints and quickly attacked.
......
Ten people escorting a team of 300 people is naturally not easy, and it is difficult to take care of all of them.
"Hey, Ma San, do you feel like we're next to you...... Looks like there's one person missing?"
After everyone walked all the way, they gradually couldn't see Huang Feihu's army, and suddenly a person on the side of the team scratched his face in confusion and asked the people next to him.
"What's missing a person, just kidding, the beast is so big just its footprints, who dares to run around?"
Ma San said speechlessly: "It's the right thing to go home honestly, and when King Wucheng and they come back, they will still have a reward to receive, and the sins of this half month have not been in vain, haha......"
"Oh, but ......"
The first person looked around in confusion, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "It seems that there was really a person next to me just now, a little man, who disappeared in the blink of an eye......
......
In fact, there was indeed one person missing from their ranks.
At this time, the missing person was standing in a mountain forest, twisting his waist comfortably and moving his body.
In the past half a month by these people's side, he can't practice his sword, and he can't do it, so he can only run Xiao Zhoutian with his true qi, which can suffocate him.
As soon as he broke away at this time, Lu Chuan felt like a bird returning to the mountains and forests, happy and comfortable......
"Now it's time to meet the beast......"
Lu Chuan whispered, at this time, he was in good spirits, carrying the Zixiao Sword behind his back, and Wu Qiu's saber at his waist, and his equipment was also very sophisticated.
Boom!
Suddenly, he quickly drew his knife and slashed backwards, and with a flash of the knife, he cut into three pieces a colorful snake with the thickness of a baby's forearm and its tail hanging from a tree to attack him.
"Why bother?"
Lu Chuan looked at the snake on the ground that was not dead, and the three bodies were writhing, and said, "What if you bite me to death, you can't eat one of them, what a waste, right?!"
Although he couldn't cultivate in this mountain forest for half a month, he mastered the skills of surviving in the mountains, and it was not in vain.
Then he plucked a leaf in his hand and began to close his eyes and pinch the mantra.
With the word "escape", a blue-green light flew into the air and headed into the distance, leaving only a leaf to fall lightly to the ground.
