After retracting his attention, Cheng Kun felt a lot more relaxed, no longer having a shadow on his heart like just now, and there was a faint sense of depression. Although he knew that he was a bit of a "cover-up" right now, there was no doubt that it was the most appropriate thing to do.

The group was not very close to each other as they traveled, but were basically two or three paces apart.

This distance is just right, and the people around you will not have time to rescue because of sudden accidents, and it can be distributed in a fan shape, and the search range is wider.

Originally, everyone was ready to find nothing, but who knew that soon there was a new discovery.

The scouts could see from the grass on the ground that there were people passing by in this area, and it was not for a long time, most likely in the past two days.

Cheng Kun also stepped forward to observe, and the grass that the scout was pointing to was indeed a little strange. The height of the blades of grass is slightly lower than normal, and if you look closely, you will notice that some of the stems and leaves seem to have been pressed by something like a stick, leaving subtle creases.

These are all small hidden details, and fortunately, these scouts have sharp eyes and have noticed something unusual.

It's just that Cheng Kun feels that these traces don't seem to be left by Dai Yue'er, but more like those left by hunters or woodcutters who went into the mountains.

His father Cheng Zhen is an old hunter, and Cheng Kun remembers very well that every time his father goes into the mountains to hunt, in addition to carrying the necessary dry food, drinking water and weapons, he often brings a wooden stick.

This is specifically used to repel snakes and insects.

Seasoned hunters may not shoot large beasts such as tigers and wild boars, but they are afraid of the poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains.

There are many of them, and most of them are hidden in the grass or between the cracks of the rocks, which is difficult to prevent. If you're not careful, you can easily get bitten, and if you are unfortunate enough to bite your snake and insect is very violent, then the situation is very bad.

This type of highly venomous snakes and insects is not uncommon, and the "five steps" that hunters talk about changing color is one of them. Its scientific name is "sharp-nosed pit viper", and this snake is so venomous that it can kill a person after not taking five steps.

Therefore, for safety, the hunter will bring a wooden stick when he goes up the mountain, pull the grass while walking, and knock the corners and corners to expose the danger in advance, which is the so-called "scaring the snake".

Cheng Kun didn't know if anyone had the same idea as himself, General Peng, they should have seen it. But even if it turns out to be a hunter in the end, it doesn't matter, you can just ask the other party for news.

His hunch soon became a reality, and more than an hour later, the scout at the front of the group ran into a hunter who was hunting.

The hunter was brought to Peng Rou's eyes.

Washed white clothes, trouser legs tied tightly, and a pair of breathable straw sandals underfoot. Holding a hunting knife and a wooden stick in each hand, it is exactly what hunters usually wear.

............

Hong Fan felt very nervous, he was a hunter who lived nearby, because his daughter-in-law was pregnant and wanted to buy her some food to replenish her body, so he would go hunting in Broken Dragon Mountain at this time.

He was lucky, and the next day after entering the mountains, he found the prey he wanted, but as soon as he buried the trap, a group of big men rushed out and put himself in front of a woman who was too beautiful to speak.

This group of people was full of anger between their eyebrows, and they looked ruthless, and he began to think that he had encountered a bandit robbing the road, so he fought hard, but he was easily suppressed.

You must know that he has practiced a little family kung fu, and he was lucky enough to pass the foundation building level, and with this meager true qi, he dared to come to this Broken Dragon Mountain alone.

But any of the people who captured him were much higher than him, and when he realized this, he quieted down and stopped struggling. Because he knows that if the other party is really a bandit, even his subordinates have such skills, then they must be giants.

With his three-legged cat kung fu, it is useless to resist. Moreover, he had no money in his body, and he really couldn't think of anything worth plundering.

Peng Rou naturally wouldn't have thought that because of the domineering style of the Sergeant Dingshan, the hunters in front of her would mistake them for "giant robes", but she could see that the calm on this person's face was all pretended.

"What's your name?" asked Peng Rou.

Although Hong Fan wondered why the leader of the bandits turned out to be a woman, he immediately replied: "The villain's surname is Hong Mingfan, and he is a hunter in the nearby White Tiger Village. ”

Peng Rou had never heard the name White Tiger Village before, and she gestured to wonder if the others knew, and if not, it meant that this Hong Fan was probably lying.

At this time, one of the scouts in the team stood up, "General, the villain came out of the White Tiger Village. ”

Hong Fan was taken aback when he heard his salutation, "What, General?"

He carefully observed the people around him this time, and this time he finally saw that these people stood with a clean face, and the direction in which they were standing also implied the law, blocking his possible way, which was completely a subconscious reaction. Looking at this appearance, there is no doubt that he is indeed a soldier, and he has never heard of a bandit with such qualities.

He turned his head back to the scout who had just stood up, and after looking at it twice, he asked with some uncertainty, "Are you a little tiger?"

The scout smiled and replied, "Uncle Hong, it's me." In front of you is General Peng of our Dingshan Army. ”

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Hong Fan breathed a sigh of relief. I also tried my best to answer Peng Rou's question.

When asked if he had seen the two women in the mountains, Hong Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Everyone was very surprised, they really found Dai Yue'er's traces, Hong Fan described the appearance of the two, it was indeed Dai Yue'er and Xiaohuan, but Hong Fan just saw it from a long distance, and then the two disappeared in a flash.

After asking, Peng Rou let him leave. As compensation for his fright, the prey that Hong Fan fancied was also killed by the Jeongsan army and given to him.

After Hong Fan left, Chu Liuyun proposed to immediately set off to catch up. It was rare to catch Dai Yue'er's tail, of course she had to grasp it a little, but Peng Rou did not agree.

The hesitant expression on Hong Fan's face when she answered the direction Dai Yue'er went when she left just now came to her mind, it didn't seem like she was hesitating to answer, it was more like she wasn't very sure, so she paused and tried to remember.

But the problem is that if he only saw the two of them yesterday, as he said, the time is only less than a day apart, even if the memory is poor, it will not be forgotten so quickly.

Peng Rou expressed her doubts, and the others thought about it and found that this was indeed the case. Someone couldn't help but question: "Could it be that the hunter just now was lying and deceiving us, and his subordinates will go and arrest him back, torture him carefully, and see what he says." ”

As soon as he heard this, the scout named Huzi who stood up just now had an anxious look on his face, he believed that Uncle Hong would not lie, but he didn't dare to refute Shangguan's words, so he was so anxious for a while.

Peng Rou glared at the person who spoke: "When did I say that Hong Fan lied?"

At first glance, this man was not very fond of using his brain, and he was confused by General Peng's "inconsistent" words.

Chu Liuyun looked thoughtful: "General Peng means that the information provided by this Hong Fan may be fake, but he himself doesn't know, right?"

Peng Rou nodded, "Before leaving, everyone has read the information provided by the people of the martial arts in Youzhou, the reason why Dai Yue'er was able to escape unharmed with a little maid under the pursuit of so many masters is that the Black Sky Mystery Divine Technique she practiced is definitely indispensable." Those masters from the sect will still be recruited, and Hong Fan, an ordinary person, is naturally easier. ”

In Peng Rou's eyes, the meager true qi on Hong Fan's body was no different from ordinary people.

After hearing this, the rest of the people understood, but then these people were a little distressed, so now they can't believe anyone's words.

The Black Heaven Mystery Divine Method is so domineering, this martial art can only be practiced by those who have cultivated the Great Black Innocence Qi, and it also requires some special talents. Even the previous high priest had only been trained after becoming a grandmaster.

The legend of this martial art was passed down by Daikokuten himself, and the high priest and the saint could communicate with them after they had attained cultivation. Just watching Dai Yue'er practice this martial art is enough to prove her peerless talent.

Because it was really impossible to determine whether what Hong Fan said was true, in the end, Chu Liuyun decided to bring someone to investigate, and the rest of the people waited for the news first.

Peng Rou didn't have a better way, so she agreed.

The wait is always long, Cheng Kun simulated the iron-clad fist in his mind, and the true qi in his body moved in response to the opportunity, slowly circulating for a week. This is his unique cultivation method, although it is not as good as entering the meditation, but it is more convenient, and there is no need to put all your mind into it.

Peng Rou gently closed a pair of Danfeng eyes, as if she was closing her eyes to recuperate, but she actually raised her hearing to the extreme. In the mountains, where the view is easily blocked by trees or other things, the ears are much more reliable.

With her current cultivation, as long as she calms down, the voice within a radius of one mile will be captured by her, and the closer the distance, the clearer the sound.

If Chu Liuyun encounters danger, she will find it as soon as possible and then bring someone to rescue her.

Just after Cheng Kun had run the iron-clad trick for eighteen weeks, Chu Liuyun brought people back. When they went, they were in good spirits, but when they came back, they were much more embarrassed.

Many of them were soaked with clothes, a layer of mud on their legs, and a look of apprehension on their faces.

Peng Rou's face sank when she saw this scene, and she asked, "Captain Chu, what's going on, since you know that there may be danger, why do you still do it like this?"

Chu Liuyun's handsome face was also not good-looking, "General Hui, the news provided by that Hong Fan is indeed fake. I led the men in the direction he pointed, and at first it was fine, but it didn't take long for me to come across a swamp. Because it was covered with a layer of dirt, I didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until one of the scouts fell into it that he knew he was in danger. ”

It's also a little fortunate to say, fortunately, the people who came out this time were all masters, and these people didn't wait for too deep to grab the vines thrown by others and break free. It's just that two scouts didn't escape, and although Chu Liuyun had a good effort, there was no way to rescue them, so he could only watch their heads being submerged in the mud from the sidelines.

Dai Yue'er didn't take action in person, but just made the Dingshan Army lose its manpower and gave everyone a dismount.

Although she is the one who is being hunted down and is also at a disadvantage in terms of strength, it seems that Dai Yue'er herself does not think so.

This incident is both a provocation and a warning: who is the hunter and who is the prey?
