Chapter 40: Ambush

The aura on this Tiantai Mountain was not outstanding, and now that so many cultivators were concentrated, it was even more barren. Tian Xu cultivated here to recuperate, and almost all the spiritual energy he needed was provided by the elixir, which made him feel so distressed that he wanted to hit the wall. Now that he walked to this ramp, he was ready to go down the mountain to move, and immediately discussed with Ziyan: "How about we secretly follow Uncle Zi and see what they are doing?"

Ziyan refused without thinking: "No." The day before yesterday, he was just ambushed by Humen and almost lost his life. It's been less than two days now, don't you remember? ”

Seeing the depressed expression on Tian Xu's face, she said softly again: "Now your combat strength has not recovered to half of its usual level, if you meet someone from the Tiger Gate, not to mention the master of the Ning Dan Realm, even a high-level Qi Gathering can kill you." It's not that you don't know my strength, and I can't do anything when I encounter an opponent who exceeds the sixth order of Qi Gathering. The two of us are going down the mountain now, and the risk is too great. ”

Tian Xu also knew that what she said was the truth, but he really didn't want to spend it on this mountain, so he said with some strong words: "According to what you said, I have offended Humen now, so I can only stay on Kunlun Mountain, and when will I succeed in cultivation, and the realm will exceed that Tiger Dawei and then go down the mountain?"

Seeing that Ziyan didn't speak for a while, he struck while the iron was hot and said again: "I was followed last time because of negligence, this time I am more careful, in this dark night, can there really be someone who can get close to within a mile I can't notice?" ”

Ziyan couldn't help it, but finally agreed. However, she also had her own careful thoughts, and pulled Tian Xu to a nearby toilet, and the two of them entered the toilet to change their clothes and put on makeup, completely changing their appearance, and then walked down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, Tian Xu mobilized his sense of smell and followed the smell of purple boundlessness. At the same time, turn on olfactory imaging and carefully observe the surrounding situation to make sure that no one is following you.

After Zi Wuji and Ouyang Jie went down the mountain, they walked around and around towards the outside of the mountain where they had parked. Judging by the route they walked, it should be the people who are constantly avoiding the road, obviously not doing anything right.

From Tiantai Mountain to the valley at the northern end of Hoh Xil where you park, you have to climb over two snow-capped mountains, which is quite a long way. At their speed, if they rushed with all their strength when they were in good health, it would take a little more than half a day to arrive, and now that Tian Xu was seriously injured, he might not be able to arrive in a day. Zi Wuji and Ouyang Jie were both high-level Ning Dan, and their speed was much faster than them. If these two sprint at full strength, it is estimated that it will take no more than two hours. But now these two people don't dare to show their tracks, and their speed is greatly limited, but they are not as fast as Tian Xu.

Tian Xu sniffed the smell they left behind and found that the taste was getting fresher and fresher, which showed that the distance between himself and them was narrowing. He didn't dare to get too close to them, Ning Dan High Rank Cultivator's senses were extremely keen, and if he didn't pay attention to them, he might be discovered.

Just as they were halfway up the first snow-capped mountain, there were suddenly several long whistles from the direction of the parking lot outside the mountain, which changed according to a certain rhythm, probably to convey some information.

This is an ancient method of signaling that used to be extremely popular in the cultivation world. Different sects generally specify different signal codes, which can convey a lot of useful information. But now with the progress of wireless communication, especially after satellite communication began to be common, this method is used less and less, and there is a phone call to the past, which is labor-saving and not easy to be deciphered by outsiders. Most of the cases where this ancient method of communication is used today are related to alarms and calls for help, after all, the whistling sound is faster than making a phone call, and it can be sent out at the slightest thought.

Ziyan was a little more familiar with this voice, and said, "This is the distress signal from Shennongmen and Wutai Mountain. ”

After saying this, she suddenly opened her mouth in surprise, and said after a long time: "Today, it happens that the two Ning Dan elders from Shennongmen and Wutai Mountain are stationed outside the mountain, it won't be my father'......"

Tian Xu shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Zi and Elder Ouyang have just passed from here for less than 15 minutes, and in such a short time, they will definitely not be able to catch up outside the mountain." The cry for help was apparently coming from outside the mountain. ”

Ziyan patted his chest, calmed down his mood, and said, "That's it, scared me to death." ”

Tian Xu suddenly thought of a question: "There will be a master who will come to support the two outside the mountain soon, and it will only take 10 minutes to get here at the earliest, let's quickly find a place to hide, it's hard to explain if they touch it." ”

Ziyanlian claimed that it was, and the two searched around, and finally found a cliff on the left, and there was a big rock next to the cliff, so they hid behind the stone. Fortunately, the snow line has not yet been reached, and no obvious traces have been left here. If the person tracking does not have a nose like Tian Xu, it is difficult to find them.

Not long after the two of them hid, they heard the footsteps of a master running from the bottom of the mountain. Tian Xu carefully launched olfactory imaging and found that the first batch of people to arrive were three people, one was Ying Song of the Kunlun faction, one was Daoxian monk of Wutai Mountain, and the other was Aunt Zhou Aiping, the owner of Shennongmen.

The last time he was in the villa, Tian Xu saw that Aunt Zhou was like an ordinary person with no special ability to act. However, this time she had no one to help, but she still followed behind Ying Song and Monk Daoxian steadily, and she was not half a step behind. She didn't run like the other two, but flew like the wind, her feet half a foot off the ground and fluttering in the air.

Tian Xu knew that Zhou Aiping's spiritual power was extremely strong, and carefully withdrew his olfactory image that he was peeking at her, lest she find out. Aunt Zhou is about to face a strong enemy at this time, and her mental strength is highly vigilant, and if she is not careful, she will be discovered and attack remotely.

After retracting the olfactory imaging, Tian Xu focused his attention on the other side of the road up the mountain. He didn't know the situation very clearly, but he could feel the faint spiritual coercion coming from above, someone was lurking above!

His olfactory imaging mainly relies on the sense of smell, and the bitter thing is that no matter the direction of the wind, it almost always blows upwards on the hillside, which determines that his detection of the mountain is downwind. He estimated that the wind blowing towards the mountain at this time was about three levels, and in such downwind conditions, he could only detect a distance of about 300 meters, that is, the people in ambush on the mountain should be more than 300 meters away. There was a small high hill on the ridge of the mountain, forming a structure that resembled a mountain ridge, and he estimated that the ambusher was probably hiding behind it. Now he couldn't be sure if the people who were in ambush above had spotted them.
