Chapter 376: Tracking
Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl were led to the country of incense by the old man wood, and when the two chased them into the forest, they didn't know that the dragon king led the remnants of the Great Snow Mountain, and they marched three days behind them.
Old man Mu has been planning for this escape for a long time, and all his previous behaviors, including several escape attempts, are all suspicious, so that the two girls can relax their vigilance, although his skills are far from recovering, but the experience of the rivers and lakes is not less at all.
In order to collect supplies, the dragon king and his party swept the savage villages in the forest, but the old man did not dare to approach any populated place, for fear of leaving obvious traces, so he chose to walk in a deserted place with dense trees and deep grass, so that there was another advantage, there was not much sunlight during the day, and he could rush around the clock.
The Lotus Girl showed a super ability to track, no matter how small the clues left by the old man Mu, she could always find them quickly.
Shangguan Ru was very surprised at first, the grass and trees in her eyes seemed almost the same, but gradually, she found that the methods used by the lotus girl were all the techniques taught by the killer masters of Jinpeng Castle, everyone had learned them, and when it came to practice, most people often couldn't remember them.
Shangguan Ru had a sense of admiration for the Dutch girl.
During a short break, Shangguan Ru seriously thought about the current situation of Jinpeng Fort for the first time and understood many things.
The decline of the Stone Castle is inevitable, and the more powerful the killers it cultivates, the more inevitable its own decline becomes, as the owners of the Stone Castle are preoccupied with the safe environment created by the powerful killers, but neglect to progress with them.
The practice of struggle between the children of the Shangguan family is really not worth mentioning compared to the cruel and ruthless experience of the killers.
A fast-growing killer who doesn't endure the weakness of his master forever.
The stone castle is like a huge rotting corpse, nourishing countless insect eggs at the same time, itself is shrinking day by day, and betrayers like Huan Nu and Henu will only increase, and sooner or later, they will completely devour the rotting corpse.
Shangguan Ru suddenly understood why his father wanted to dominate the Western Regions to seek a real king for the Shangguan family, and he wanted to use the last loyalty of the killers to set up another stove and create a kingdom that did not rely on killers.
Rather than letting the killer end the life of the stone castle, it is better for the master to do it himself.
She also understood the ridiculousness and patheticness of this generation of Shangguan family disciples, who were still fighting to the death according to the traditions of the past dynasties, completely unaware that the most important audience outside the ring had become interested in it, and their minds turned to places that had nothing to do with it.
This is also the reason why the most unusual son of Dubu King is suddenly favored.
The third young master, Shangguan Yun, has always refused to be the master of the killer, only he has been in the real rivers and lakes and understands the thoughts and needs of ordinary people, and this is the most important lesson for future kings.
Even without the help of outsiders, King Dubu would think of this son sooner or later.
Shangguan Ru seemed to be a blind man who had seen the light of day again, and his heart had never been so clear and clear, and what caused all this was just the killer's necessary skills that the lotus girl inadvertently displayed.
When she set off again, Shangguan Ru showed a sincere smile to the lotus girl, her resentment, whether it was bright or dark, had disappeared, and she saw that her fate was not arranged by gods or someone, but part of the fate of the whole family, and she could not complain to anyone.
The lotus girl was puzzled by this smile, and even had a trace of wariness in her heart.
"To what extent do you think Old Man Mu's skills have recovered?" Shangguan Ru asked softly, in the closed forest, strangers would always involuntarily lower their voices, like rare guests visiting for the first time, only those savages who had lived here for a long time would speak loudly like their masters.
For more than ten days, the two rarely talked, and it was always the Lotus Girl who found the clues, and Shangguan Ru followed silently, so her very ordinary question this time sounded very incomprehensible to the Lotus Girl.
"About fifty percent. "The lotus girl will not easily reveal the doubts in her heart," he has been in a hurry, and he has no time to practice, so his recovery will be slower. ”
"After seven days of continuous exposure, will Old Man Mu really lose all his internal strength?"
That's what the book says. The lotus girl thought for a while, and then added: "It is said that in the past few decades, Old Man Mu is the only person who has practiced the Seven Turns of the Great Returning Gong. ”
"I hope you can forgive me for my mistakes, I should have listened to you a long time ago, exposed him for seven days, and completely abolished his martial arts. ”
The lotus girl was stunned for a moment, she never expected to hear the words of apology from the tenth prince, "It's okay, we still have time to catch him." ”
The two continued to track down Old Man Mu, that is, from this day on, Shangguan Ru's attitude towards the lotus girl changed significantly, and he became much more cordial, as if they were good sisters who had known each other since childhood.
Shangguan Ru wanted to tell the lotus girl all her thoughts, so that she could understand that all Jinpeng killers, whether loyal or betrayal, were at the end of the road, and Huan Nu had already understood, so he would become the Dragon King, instead of sneaking into the stone castle alone to take revenge.
But she didn't have the time to speak, and the Dutch girl's vigilance was taller and stronger than the stone walls of Jinpeng Castle, which could not be easily broken by Shangguan Ru's cordial attitude.
The two entered the land of incense on the twentieth day after the old man fled.
The Dragon King and the warriors of the Great Snow Mountain wandered in the forest for several months because they didn't know the way, and the old man Mu also chose a hidden place to travel because he didn't know the road, and it only took less than a month to cross the labyrinth that covered the sky and the sun.
In the last few days, Old Man Mu's skills were obviously improving, and there were fewer and fewer traces left, but at this time, the two girls were already very familiar with his path and rules, and they could roughly figure out the direction just by guessing, and the speed of tracking was faster.
They caught up with the old man at the edge of the forest.
Old man Mu panicked, thinking that this road was remote and difficult to travel, and would lead to deeper woodland, but he didn't expect that the trees were becoming more and more sparse, and there was even an ambush.
There were five of them, dressed in white robes and strange masks on their faces, flying from tree to bush, making all sorts of terrible screams.
This is the demon and monster that the savages have passed down by word of mouth, and for this reason, they never dare to come near this place, and they do not have the opportunity to discover the land of fertile and abundant incense.
But in the eyes of Old Man Mu, this is just five ordinary martial arts buddies, small prey for him to vent his sulk.
"I finally saw the living. Old Man Mu licked his lips, as if he was going to eat people, he had been living on berry grass leaves these days, and he was indeed very hungry.
This passage has always been only occasionally broken into by lost wildlings, and the five men who pretend to be ghosts don't pay attention to the little old man at all, never thinking that this is a demon who even a real ghost dares to kill.
Old Man Mu had recovered six or seven of his success at this time, and he was still a little jealous of the lotus girl, as for the others, he regarded them as ants.
Like a wanderer who had been absent from his relatives for a long time, the old man Mu cheered and rushed towards a "white-clothed mask ghost", killing him with one move, holding a fresh heart in his hand, and shaking his head, "Alas, it's too much. ”
The five-hole fist heart fire stage requires that the opponent's heart pulse be broken when he is close to the body, and the cleaner the heart he takes out, the better, the old man Mu carefully observes the things in his hand by the moonlight, and the more he looks at it, the more dissatisfied he becomes.
The idea of the remaining four "white-clothed mask ghosts" is very different from this devil, they have pretended to be ghosts for more than ten years, and they have not practiced their courage at all, and when they see the real "ghosts", they are even more afraid than the wild people in the forest, so they shouted and ran away.
Once the old man Mu was interested in killing, he couldn't hold back any longer, he landed on all fours, performed fox skills, and chased after him like a lightning speed, becoming more and more like a ghost running out of the old forest.
When Old Man Mu killed the fourth person, Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl followed the sound and arrived.
Shangguan Ru was a little impatient, exposing his whereabouts prematurely, Old Man Mu hesitated for a moment, decided that it was better to avoid it, laughed and rushed out of the forest, and got into the lush grass.
The two women followed closely behind, never letting the old man escape from sight.
Only one ghost pretended to be guarding the edge of the woodland survived, his legs were as weak as dough, and he didn't see clearly whether the two figures following behind him were men or women, people or ghosts, and he reluctantly got up, and after fleeing back to the capital, he reported that something bad was wrong, and three ghosts were killed in the forest, and they used people's hearts as food.
Suspicious residents sent representatives, and when they saw the four bodies, they were all so frightened that they hurried back to the city with the bodies, and no one dared to come to the area again.
Therefore, a few months later, when the Daisetsuzan army came out of the forest, they did not see any of the legendary "ghosts".
The old man didn't know the way, so he just ran around, and when it was almost dawn, he regretted leaving the forest, where the trees were scattered and the weeds were low, and there was no way to shelter him from the sun.
Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl knew that the opportunity to capture the old man was coming, so they were not in a hurry to chase with all their might, but slowly separated, preparing to intercept it.
Mu Lao's mind was spinning, and as a result, he couldn't come up with a useful idea, so he could only threaten in a false voice.
"The two little girls listened and chased the old man again...... I'll take off my pants. "This trick may be effective for Shangguan Ru, who is the most trained killer and is indifferent to it.
"I'll hand over all the stunts, word for word, you can let me go. This trick may be regarded as a temptation for the Dutch girl, but Shangguan Ru is not interested in it at all, and if possible, she would rather forget about the centering finger completely.
Old Man Mu is really poor in donkey skills, but just when the sun is about to emerge, God once again blesses the wicked.
A forest appeared in front of it.
It is a bit reluctant to say that it is a wood, and most of the plants in it are tall and exotic flowers, although it cannot be called shading, but the shade is enough to protect the old man from direct sunlight.
At any time, Old Man Mu and the two girls behind him would not rush into this flower forest, because it had obvious artificial traces, but there were no houses nearby, revealing a trace of weirdness.
But the old man Mu just wanted to avoid the sun, and the two girls were unwilling to let go of the target no matter what, so one in front of the other and two in the back, the three of them rushed into the unknown flower forest.
Located dozens of miles west of the capital of the country of incense, it holds one of the most important secrets of the country's people.
