Chapter 348: Investigation
Hearing Fu Hao's tone, Bu Mingming and the two also knew that it was not a joke, and immediately cheered up.
Fu Hao made a mark on the first tree, and then walked into the woods first.
According to Jiang Bu, Dishou Mountain is formed by many valleys, dense forests, and many passages. But many of them were dead ends, or lurking unexpected dangers, and there was only one way to reach the Holy Gu Sect safely.
However, Liu Yanzhao is a thoughtful person, and it is possible that he may privately send someone to ambush the only way to trap him. So, don't be careless, and remember to be careful.
This jungle is lush with vegetation, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts. However, after a while, Fu Hao and the others encountered two poisonous snakes, as well as some unknown flying insects, which inevitably took the initiative to provoke the rampant branches, and Fu Hao chose to bypass them from afar.
Following the path Jiang Bu said, after walking for about five miles, Fu Hao stopped, because two forks in the road appeared in front of him.
Gu Yuanzhi stood beside him and said, "Senior brother, there is a fork in the road ahead, which one should we take?"
Fu Hao took a closer look at the tree features next to the two trails, hoping to find some clues.
"What's the matter, Uncle Shi, didn't Sect Master Jiang tell me which way to go?" Bu Mingming was a little puzzled.
Fu Hao shook his head: "According to Sect Master Jiang, there is no fork in the road here, obviously this is what Liu Yanzhao did on purpose. And I just looked at the trees on both sides, and if one of them had been opened up recently, the trees on the side of the road would have left traces of felling, but you see ...... now."
Gu Yuanzhi said in surprise: "There are trees cut down on the side of both roads!"
Bu Chuming also frowned: "It seems that Liu Yanzhao has been prepared for a long time, and it seems that one of them must have set a trap." ”
"No," Fu Hao raised his head and said solemnly, "There may be traps on both roads......
Fu Hao jumped up on the treetops, carefully looked at the direction of the two roads, and confirmed what Jiang Wei said, and chose the more secure one.
"Let's go this way!" Fu Hao pointed to the road on the right, made some marks on a tree, and continued to move forward with Gu Yuanzhi and Bu Mingming.
In the middle of the night, in the place where they had stayed, a strange bug quietly broke through the ground.
This insect resembles a millipede, but it has a black body and compound eyes on its back, which makes it look hideous and terrifying. The strange insect stayed in place for a few moments, and then burrowed into the ground again and disappeared.
However, it was said that Fu Hao and the three of them walked on the path on the right for half an hour, and the trees on both sides became taller and taller, obscuring the skylight.
Suddenly, Fu Hao waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to stop.
"What's the matter, senior brother, why did you stop?"
Fu Hao had some doubts on his face: "If I'm not mistaken, we are walking along this road all the way, right?"
Bu Mingming said confidently: "I can be sure of this, I have never turned a corner or encountered a fork in the road. ”
"That's very interesting," Fu Hao said as he stared at a tree next to him, "I don't understand why the mark I made just now is ...... in front of me."
In order to avoid entering a maze or not being able to distinguish the way, Fu Hao left a mark on the tree on the right hand every once in a while. But now there was a tree in front of them that had been marked.
Gu Yuanzhi was immediately frightened, he immediately looked around, and whispered: "We won't have entered the maze now, it is possible that hundreds of steel needles will be pierced from the ground in the next moment, or an old sow weighing hundreds of pounds will fall from the sky!"
Bu Mingming immediately said: "Uncle Xiao, what are you talking about, how can this be like this!" Although he said this, Bu Mingming still retracted the steps he had just wanted to move forward and leaned over to Gu Yuanzhi's side.
"In my opinion, we must have encountered the legendary ghost hitting the wall......!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Fu Hao glared at them angrily, "Since the three of us said that we didn't make a mistake, it was impossible to ......"
Gu Yuanzhi was still a little scared and said, "Then what are we seeing now?"
Fu Hao didn't speak, but stepped forward to take a closer look at the marked tree.
"Wait a minute, nephew Bu Xian, what are you going to do?"
"Uncle Xiao, I see that you have been carrying this pot, it must be very hard, why don't you let me help you share it, and I will carry the rest of the road." ”
"No, hey, why did you just grab it?"
“……”
Fu Hao stretched out his hand to wipe the tree, and there were a few sawdust on his fingers, indicating that this mark had indeed not been made for a long time.
"Hmph, I think I know what's going on. Don't care about this thing, let's go ahead boldly!" Fu Hao turned around and was stunned when he saw Bu's famous appearance, "You...... What are you dressed for?"
It turned out that Bu Mingming snatched the pot on Gu Yuanzhi's body, and tied three-foot-high straw sandals under his feet - I don't know how he made such a pair of straw shoes in such a short time - and the current shape can simply blind.
Bu Mingming was walking with this pair of straw sandals, and when he heard Fu Hao say this, he came back to his senses and said: "Uncle Shi, I didn't expect Uncle Xiao to have such a skill, you can have a pair too!"
"Hmm, do you want it too, you need to wait a little longer......"
Fu Hao looked for prestige, and saw that Gu Yuanzhi was wearing an identical pair of straw sandals, and now the difference between him and Bu Mingming was that there was no iron pot on his head.
"What are you ......" Fu Hao thought that these two people had fallen into evil, but immediately thought of the reason why they did it.
"Isn't it really worrying about the stabbing ground?"
"How is it possible, an old sow fell from the sky, and if she didn't hold the pot, she would be smashed on the head, how could I believe such a thing?" said Bu Mingming, touching the iron pot above his head.
"That is, how can there be steel needles on the ground, isn't this a fantasy?" Gu Yuanzhi tried to make his straw sandals thicker.
Fu Hao was helpless, the expressions and movements of these two people all showed that they really believed that kind of nonsense.
"By the way, senior brother, you'd better put on a straw sandal, my craftsmanship is absolutely trustworthy, I guarantee that you don't want to take it off if you wear it once!"
"No, I won't wear it, and I won't stop you if you really want to dress like this, don't blame me if you can't run when it's time to run. Fu Hao could only say this.
Bu Mingming and Gu Yuanzhi glanced at each other, and then they both laughed.
"Senior brother, you will scare us, there is something you can't solve here, why do you want to run. ”
"Yes, yes, it's really not good, and I'm here, don't worry about the two uncles, if there is any danger, I will go forward without hesitation, bow and die and rush to the front, don't worry!" Bu Mingming stretched out his thumb, he finally got used to the straw sandals, and he could already walk smoothly.
Fu Hao smiled, only you, who are fully armed, are the least qualified to say such things!
"Okay, let's move on, if I'm not mistaken, I'll meet the disciples of the Holy Gu Sect soon. ”
