Chapter Seventy-One: Tracking
"Shhhh
"Senior sister, what's wrong" Chan'er slowly mouthed, and said in a voice that only the two of her could hear, in fact, she could ask with the realm of consciousness.
Mu Xue'er didn't speak, just a look, Chan'er stood there quietly and listened to the movement outside.
After listening for a while, there was nothing, except for some bird calls, there were no unusual sounds, and she was just about to speak loudly, when she opened her mouth when she heard someone talking in the distance.
"That's enough, let's go," a voice came from outside.
"I'm still a little closer, let's take a look inside;" said another.
These two people are dressed in purple clothes, and they look like minions from the Alchemy Hall, and the other is a thin and long face, and the other is a round face.
"Look," said the round-faced face.
The slender face looked in the direction pointed by the round face, and there was a big tree less than a hundred meters away, which was the tree where Mu Xue'er Chan'er was staying, and they were in it at this time.
"Let's go, go down," said the slender face.
The man nodded.
"The boss said that we are not allowed to go near the internal testing area of this big tree, why?" asked the round face.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, it's not good for you to know too much," said the slender face.
"I'm just curious," said the round face.
"Curiosity kills cats," said Skinnyface.
"I've heard that from here, in the depths, there are some places where people eat and drink, and there are some ecstasy formations, many people have died here, let's go," said the slim face.
At this time, some bird calls and strange hiss sounded, and although it was broad daylight, it still made the two of them creepy.
"Let's go, get out of here, it's going to make people panic," said the round face.
The two of them walked briskly down the hill.
At this time, Chan'er looked at the back in the distance and was secretly happy.
"These two people are so cowardly, they dare to run up the mountain like this," Chan'er said.
"They may also be forced to come up by themselves. Mu Xueer said.
"Hey, senior sister, what did you say they were doing up the mountain," Chan'er asked.
"The person who looks like the Medicine Refining Hall should be here to collect medicine, didn't that person say that it was still a little worse?" Mu Xue'er said.
"Collecting medicine, I don't think so, they don't have a basket on their backs, they just carry two bamboo tubes around their waists, unlike collecting medicine, they must have other purposes," Chan'er said.
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain, whatever they do," Mu Xue'er said.
"Senior sister, why don't we go along and see, what are they doing?" Chan'er said.
"You ghost girl, I didn't listen to what the man said just now, curiosity kills the cat" Mu Xue'er glanced at Chan'er.
"It's not even far from them," Chan'er snorted haughtily.
"Senior sister, they are from the Alchemy Hall, we may find something new if we follow. Chan'er pulled Mu Xue'er hard.
Now there's nothing to do anyway, in fact, it doesn't matter if you keep up, just accompany this little girl to "fool around" to satisfy her curiosity.
So the two of them quietly followed behind the two, with the skills of the two of them, these two people couldn't notice anything at all, so the two of them were still busy with their own business, and the two searched for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a thick tree.
The tree was as thick as a bowl, but it was not very tall, and the branches on it were cross-grown and messy, but it was very luxuriant, and the color of the leaves was slightly blue.
"Well, that's it," the lanky face said.
I saw that the man took out the thinner bamboo tube from his waist, held the bamboo tube in his left hand, stuck it on the tree, and tied a seal knot in his right hand.
I saw that the insect had two knuckles long, and had small bright eyes on its head, and its head was large and thin, and its body was cyan and its head was black, as if it was wriggling, but it had long legs.
The worm went back and forth up and down the tree, running very quickly, until at last it stopped at the bottom of the trunk, plunged into it, and in the blink of an eye there was a small hole, and then it went headlong into it.
Seeing this scene, Chan'er and Mu Xue'er glanced at each other and didn't understand what they were doing.
"Senior sister, look," Chan'er said in the realm of consciousness. This is a special consciousness world created when the two flame realms merge, and only two people can use it anymore, and only those who enter this consciousness can realize it.
Mu Xue'er began to tremble when she saw that the tree was good, there was no wind outside, and even if there was wind, she would not tremble and shake around like this.
The color of the leaves on the tree slowly faded, from blue, to dark green, then to pale green, and finally to yellow, and slowly fell. It turned out that it was like this, and the trees died like this.
Chan'er said again in this realm of consciousness, "Senior sister, is this insect just a Gu worm, and the tree is all for it to die."
"Although it killed the tree, it is not a Gu worm," Mu Xue'er said to Chan'er.
"It's not"
"As far as I know, Gu worm repellents require some spells, but at first, they didn't use them, this should be a kind of insect eater," Mu Xue'er said.
When the tree was completely exhausted, the slender face took out another bamboo tube, which was relatively thick, and then took out a stick of incense and lit it, and placed it next to the hole where the worm had bitten it, and after a while the worm crawled out of the hole and entered the tube.
At this time, the insect is no longer big and thin, the body has become thicker, as long as one finger, the head is also bulging, as thick as two fingers, and the whole body is green and blue.
"What the hell did this worm do?" Chan'er was puzzled.
The two of them went to other places again, each time like this, after a small insect entered the tree hole, the tree died, and when it came out, it became a fat body, and like this happened several times before the two of them walked towards the bottom of the Pregnant Spirit Mountain, and prepared to leave from another way.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Chan'er said, "Senior sister, should we go out and catch them and grab those insects", although they are not harmful, but Chan'er is also unhappy that they have killed so many trees.
"No, we don't arrest them, I'm going to follow them now and see where they go," Mu Xue'er said.
If they had caught these two people and snatched them up, they would have punished them, but they wouldn't know what they were used for, and besides, if they had killed them, they wouldn't have any other bugs.
So they followed them down the mountain
