Chapter 244: Footprints
There are mountains and trees in this place, and the trees are naturally both evergreens and deciduous trees. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now in late autumn, the deciduous trees in Wanzhou are earlier than those in Zhongzhou and southern Xinjiang, and there is already a thick layer of leaves on the ground.
Walking on it, it rattled with a "bang-bang-bang".
After walking for a while, Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue walked to a charred place.
The scorched area is about two feet, and in this range, except for the ashes, there is bare scorched earth.
"It should have been here that the fight just happened. Jin Ziyue said as she looked at the scorched place.
Xia Chen nodded and said, "It should be the place where the billowing smoke rises." ”
Jin Ziyue recalled and asked, "Those lights of different colors are the colors of the spells used by those people just now, right?"
"That's right!" Xia Chen said, walking into the scorched range.
Jin Ziyue lifted her chin and asked, "Did the guy surnamed Zhai use a fire attribute spell when he fought with you just now?"
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "No, and except for the first move just now, the rest of him has been pressed and beaten by me, and even if he did, he didn't use it." ”
Jin Ziyue worked hard, and said in her heart: No wonder you are so confident and didn't provoke you, so you didn't have murderous intentions.
Xia Chen asked while observing the scorched place, "When you fought with that woman named Lan Ji, you didn't find out that she used fire-attribute spells?"
Jin Ziyue shook her head and said, "No." After a pause, she added, "I found that their cousins' exercises are quite dazzling, the male is blue, and the female is red. At this, she shrugged, "But it's flashy!"
Xia Chen answered softly, and then stretched out his right hand, and a withered branch not far away flew into his hand.
Shaking her fingers, Jin Ziyue said, "I don't think this should be caused by the exercises of a few of them." ”
"I think so too!" Xia Chen replied to Jin Ziyue's words, bowed down, and used the dead branch in his hand to flick the scorched place, picking aside the ashes.
Jin Ziyue looked at Xia Chen and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"There is a discovery!" Xia Chen replied simply and clearly.
With a slight frown, Jin Ziyue walked over.
"You wait!" Xia Chen continued to fiddle with his right hand without looking back, but his left hand stretched back, and made a gesture of refusal to signal that Jin Ziyue would not come.
Jin Ziyue's foot had already been raised, and she hurriedly stopped, finding that if she stepped on this foot, she would have to step into the scorched range.
She retracted her feet and stood outside the circle.
Xia Chen picked up the ashes for a while, and the scorched earth surface revealed a small pit that had sunk in.
This pit seems to have been pressed out by something heavier.
Jin Ziyue moved two steps away and asked Xia Chen to pick up the remaining ashes.
When the ashes in the circle were basically pulled out of the circle, when Xia Chen jumped out of the circle, whether it was him or Jin Ziyue, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they looked at the sunken pit in the scorched earth circle!
A sunken pit is not a small pit!
Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue lay down before they barely covered the pit.
Moreover, there are even more incave pits in the front and back, three in the front and one in the back, adding up to four!
After a long while, Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue came back to their senses, the two glanced at each other, and then Jin Ziyue said: "This is definitely not a person! If I guessed correctly, they must have encountered a demon beast just now!"
"What left these footprints?" Xia Chen pondered, "I always feel that they are a little familiar!"
Jin Ziyue frowned slightly: "I think so too, but I just can't remember what it is!"
Xia Chen threw away the dead branch in his hand, patted the dust on his hand, and then said to Jin Ziyue: "You let Xiaobai come out and see if it can smell the breath of the owner of this footprint!"
"Okay!" Jin Ziyue replied and called out Xiaobai.
Xiaobai didn't expect to come out again so soon, and couldn't help but jump on the ground a few times with some excitement.
Jin Ziyue leaned down, touched Xiao Bai's head with her hand, and then said to him, "Xiao Bai, you take us to find out if there are any large demon beasts around here." ”
Xiaobai let out a cat-like sound in a low voice, then walked into the scorched earth circle and smelled the footprints on the ground.
Soon, it raised its head, looked at the left front, and ran to the left front.
"Let's go!"
Jin Ziyue reminded Xia Chen, and then followed behind Xiao Bai.
Xia Chen nodded, took out the Yuechen Sword, and slashed a few swords on the charred branches above his head, and used his sword qi to sweep away a lot of leaves that had been burned and did not fall. Then, with both hands, and with a push forward, the dead leaves around him gathered into the scorched earth circle, and after a little processing, it looked like the leaves were falling freely here.
After completing this, he turned around and chased in the direction where Jin Ziyue and Xiaobai had left.
However, Xiaobai led them to the foot of the mountain and made a half-circle.
"Ziyue, Xiaobai isn't taking us around, is he?"
Seeing that time was getting tighter and tighter, and there were no more clues, Xia Chen was about to give up.
"Probably not!" Jin Ziyue was still quite confident in this.
And at this moment, Xiaobai, who was not far away, called out twice, as if reminding Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue.
Jin Ziyue, as its owner, reacted first and said to Xia Chen: "There is a discovery!"
Xia Chen listened to it and followed with Jin Ziyue.
When they came to the place where Xiaobai was, they saw many vines in front of them.
"Xiaobai, does this vine have anything to do with the demon beast that left footprints?" Jin Ziyue asked in disbelief.
Xiaobai nodded lightly twice.
Xia Chen approached the vines to inspect them, and at the same time he said, "When I was in Southern Xinjiang before, I found that Chu Fei's predecessors liked to get some vines in front of the cave to cover the entrance of the cave!"
Jin Ziyue pointed to the vines and asked, "You mean, there is probably a cave here?"
"Hmm!" Xia Chen took a few steps back, and then asked Jin Ziyue and Xiaobai to stand aside.
In a flash of clear light, the Yuechen Sword, which was not put in the Qiankun bag, groaned softly, and the sword qi came out and slashed on the vines.
"Smack!"
A few vines were broken in response!
It seems that this is an ordinary vine!
Xia Chen then slashed out a few more sword qis, and the remaining vines broke one after another.
When the vine was broken, Jin Ziyue stepped forward to open some of them, and after a while, she said to Xia Chen in surprise: "You're right!
Xia Chen looked at the entrance of the cave and found that the entrance of the cave was nearly two zhang high and one zhang wide!
Jin Ziyue said in surprise: "If Xiao Bai's judgment is correct, this cave entrance can completely enter a relatively large demon beast!"
"Indeed!" Xia Chen nodded and continued, "Let's go in!" (To be continued.) )
