Chapter 50: Broken Tail
As you go down, the wetter it becomes. The clothes were stained with moisture and stuck to the body, which was extremely uncomfortable. But fortunately, it is warmer than outside the hole.
Jian Wuzhen held the wooden dog in his hand, his face was anxious, and he led the Xue family brothers to run wildly all the way.
The two Liu family martial artists disappeared without a trace, and they didn't know when they forked the road.
Let them go, though.
But if the three of them turned around and looked for these two again, Jian Wuzheng was ten thousand unwilling in his heart.
Seeing that he is about to find his daughter, who has been missing for ten years, how can he care about the life and death of others.
Moreover, they came here just to find their own young lady, so they can only say that life and death are fateful.
Such caves that extend in all directions, without anyone to lead them, will surely get lost. Once you get lost in the road, it's simply whimsical to want to go out again.
Fortunately, among the three of them, the Xue family brothers used short knives and daggers to leave marks on the cave wall from time to time along the way.
Although the mark is inconspicuous, it can also be a guide when you go out.
As the torches made of pine wood gradually burned almost halfway, the Xue brothers wanted to remind Engong to pay attention to the time several times, but if the torches were extinguished, their brothers were not sure that they would be able to discredit and go out.
Seeing that Engong could reunite father and daughter, the two also sighed lightly, discussed slightly, and lit one of the torches. The remaining one, although the fire light was a little dim, was barely enough to illuminate the way.
The three of them searched inward for about half an hour, and the first torch was about to burn to the palm of their hand.
The brothers of the Xue family looked at each other, and if they dragged it on, the three of them were likely to be trapped in this cave, and hurriedly held up Engong who wanted to continue to go deeper, so that Engong could barely be persuaded to stop him.
Jian Wuzheng is not a fool, and it is a fool's dream to find someone in the dark in such a huge cave. The only way to do this now is to go out and chop a few thick pine branches to make a few torches, and then go into the hole to find someone.
At this moment, even if you are reluctant, you can only get out of the hole first and then make plans.
The three of them walked all the way back along the marks made by the Xue family brothers, and as they walked, Xue Yong noticed that something was wrong.
The dagger marks carved on the walls were not very different from those he had made at first glance, but upon closer inspection, the arrows carved out were crooked, and it was clear that they were not from him.
When Xue Yong found this, he only felt a burst of cold sweat gushing out of the Heavenly Spirit Cover and dripping down his back.
Although he knew that there was someone in the cave, this person had been quietly following them for so long. Anyone has to stand on end, right?
Besides, perhaps the disappearance of the two martial artists of the Liu family is also inseparable from this person who left a false mark. Being able to silently get rid of two martial artists who are also well-known in the rivers and lakes is not something that ordinary people can do.
Without waiting for Xue Yong to inform the other two of them of the discovery, Xue Meng snorted over there, only to hear the sound of wood falling to the ground, and the improvised pine torch rolled twice on the ground and slid into a puddle.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, I heard several screams and squeaks all around.
Xue Yong hurriedly took out the fire-inducing thing from his arms and lit another torch stuck in his back.
Maybe it was panic in his heart, maybe it was the humidity of the air, Xue Yong lit the torch after a few times.
Only then did he see the surrounding situation clearly by the light of the fire, only to see that Xue Meng's head was cut by a stone, and his wrist hung weakly, obviously injured.
Over there, there were a few more blood marks on Jian Wuzheng's face, a little blood was splashed on his body, and there was half an extra gray-white tail on the ground, which was still beating.
Xue Yong hurriedly tore off a piece of his clothes, sprinkled some gold sore medicine with him, and bandaged his younger brother carefully.
Jian Wuzheng bent down and grabbed half of his tail and looked at it carefully.
Xue Meng bared his teeth and said angrily: "It's those monkeys again! I recognize them! The gray-haired old monkey led by the leader is the beast that stoned us to death and caused us to be trapped in the mountains!"
Jian Wuzheng sneered, and handed the half of the monkey tail that was torn off to Xue Yong: "Follow the bloodstains, I want to see who made these monkeys become essences during my absence!"
The Xue brothers promised to come down and chase the blood on the ground with torches. The old monkey was torn off half of its tail, and naturally it was in pain, and it squeaked while running for its life.
As the three of them got closer and closer, the old monkey became more and more frightened, and his cry became more and more terrible.
The three of them took steps and chased all the way, this monkey may be the key to finding people, but they can't let him run.
With several sharp turns in a row, the eyes suddenly lit up, and it turned out that the three of them had drilled out of the cave.
The three of them looked carefully through the moonlight shining on the snow.
The birds here are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it looks like a paradise. A small stream that is not very wide crosses the mouth of the cave, and there is a small bridge made of roses at the top of the stream, but it is a pity that it is not the flowering season, otherwise it must be very beautiful.
This fairyland was obviously located in an unknown valley somewhere, and as the three of them broke in, many monkeys and monkeys rushed up the trees and watched from afar.
In the distance, the old monkey with a broken tail screamed and burrowed into another cave.
A slightly angry voice came from the cave: "Who hurt you like this?!"
