Chapter 62: Tracing the Jungle
Miss is gone? Does Xihan mean?
Lu Tianyang was taken aback, he attached great importance to his only sister, and in a hurry, he couldn't help but grab Uncle Ling's shoulder with one hand and said, "Where did she go?
Uncle Ling was pinched by him so that his bones hurt, and he endured it and said: "Miss said that she went out to collect medicine in the afternoon, but she didn't come back as soon as she went, and the old slave went out to look for it when it was almost dark and didn't find it, but she found her medicine bag in the place where she usually collected medicine...... Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This medicine bag is purely a small back basket, and it also contains most of the basket of herbs, and the little girl seems to have abandoned it on the way to collect medicine.
It's at least time now (between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.), hasn't Xihan been missing for most of the day? This girl, obviously she doesn't need to prepare herbal tea, why does she still go into the mountains to collect medicine?
Lu Tianyang couldn't help but get anxious, he asked where he found the medicine bag, took the lantern in one hand and rushed out.
Fortunately, the internal injuries in his chest and abdomen had improved a lot after the breathing on the carriage, and the newly absorbed true qi in his body had also fused somewhat, and at this time, he ran at full speed and was extremely fast, and in a moment he came to the entrance of the woods in the valley.
As long as you pass through this forest, you will find the dense forest behind the South Peak, which has been formed over thousands of years.
At some point, a large dark cloud appeared in the sky, obscuring the moon. The forest in the distance was pitch black, and the howling of wolves and tigers and the cries of night birds were heard everywhere, which was even more eerie.
Lu Tianyang hesitated slightly, but soon remembered the thin little girl.
"Xihan's little girl can only embroider her legs, if she encounters any jackals and tigers, she will be more auspicious!"
The more Lu Tianyang thought about it, the more anxious he became, gritted his teeth, and didn't care about the danger, he raised the lantern and strode into the forest.
The forest was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't see his fingers, and Lu Tianyang could only rely on the dim light of the lantern to illuminate it.
The surrounding forests are deep and leafy, the fog is filled, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there are many green eyes staring behind the grass and bushes, it is not easy to find people everywhere in such a harsh environment.
Moreover, Lu Tianyang hadn't learned the light gong method, and he couldn't fly around the trees like he used to do in the game world, so he had to raise the five views to the extreme, and he was on guard while moving along the path.
From time to time, there was a small sound of the grass at his feet, thinking that it was very likely that a poisonous snake was hidden in it, Lu Tianyang's cold hair all over his body stood upside down, and he simply used the blade between his fingers to cut off a long thick branch to open the way, which really played the role of striking the grass and startling the snake.
If this is the case, he has advanced more than 100 zhang, and Lu Tianyang's back has been soaked with cold sweat.
That little girl, usually shuttling back and forth in such a dangerous forest to collect medicine? Thinking of Xihan's petite body walking in the forest with a big medicine bag on her back, Lu Tianyang was both admired and distressed.
He secretly made up his mind that he would never let her enter such a dangerous place alone until the little girl practiced martial arts.
After walking for another half of the incense, Lu Tianyang finally walked to a relatively open riverside meadow, he held a lantern and looked around, yes, the terrain and the surrounding woods are the same as what Uncle Ling said, the little girl's medicine bag was abandoned here.
"Sister-!sister-!Xihan-!" Lu Tianyang shouted luckily, startling a large number of night birds, but he didn't hear Xihan respond.
The forest is so big, trying to find someone is no different than looking for a needle in a haystack. Lu Tianyang was anxious and anxious, but after all, he had experienced countless storms, so he immediately took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
"Since she is from here, whether she encounters a beast or other danger, there must be some clues left. Lu Tianyang held the lantern high and carefully observed the surroundings. The meadow was close to the river, and the soil was moist and soft, and he soon found several lines of footprints.
This latest footprint is his own, this deep and shallow footprint is Uncle Ling's who is not dexterous in his legs, the smallest footprint here should be Xihan's girl, but there are also two lines of big footprints, the footprints are big and deep, it seems to be left by two sturdy adult men.
Lu Tianyang's heart trembled suddenly, and he took two steps forward to take a closer look, only to see the footprints on the ground moving in the direction of the downstream of the river, and the footprints were messy, but it could still be seen that the footprints of two adult strong men were chasing a string of small footprints.
Lu Tianyang immediately realized that someone was chasing Xihan!
The little girl obviously knew these two men and sensed the danger before she dropped the medicine bag and fled!
Thinking that the little girl might fall into the hands of two strange men, Lu Tianyang was even more anxious, and immediately chased in the direction of the footprints, but after only chasing a hundred steps, the footprints turned to the direction of the forest, and soon disappeared into the grass of the forest, and the clues that Lu Tianyang followed were broken again.
Lu Tianyang calmed down a little, Xihan should have rushed to the forest when she was about to catch up, wanting to hide with the help of trees and grasses, she has been collecting medicine in this forest all year round, and the terrain must be more familiar than those two men. The clearing just now was the only way to the outside of the forest, but there were no footprints to be seen going back, could it be that the two men were still tracking Xihan in the forest?
He continued to chase forward as he analyzed the current clues.
Along the way, he paid close attention to the traces around him, and soon judged that the two men were carrying sharp weapons, and there were many severed branches and thorns along the way, and he could even find a few pieces of cloth that were caught and torn off by the branches, which saved Lu Tianyang's tracking a lot of effort.
The path became more and more desolate, until at last it was completely obscured by weeds, and the trees grew thicker and thicker, obscuring the sky and the moon, and the distance between the trees became wider, and the weeds were knee-high, but the wild beasts moved more often.
Lu Tianyang killed several wild wolves in a row with thick branches, swept away more than a dozen poisonous snakes, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
It's not that he hasn't experienced such a jungle life-and-death struggle before, but at that time, his strength realm was more than ten levels higher than now, and slapping a tiger to death with one palm was as easy as smashing tofu, but now it was only a mere martial artist-level initial strength, and it was naturally much more difficult to deal with poisonous snakes and beasts.
Looking at the eyes of the countless green beasts around him, Lu Tianyang was so nervous that his palms were full of cold sweat. Fortunately, he was agile and broke through to the early stage of the martial arts level, and the power of the thick branches under the infusion of internal force should not be underestimated, basically he could end the life of the wild wolf at once, and the rest of the wild wolves saw that he was powerful, and they did not dare to approach, but just followed from a distance. Lu Tianyang became more and more worried about Xihan's safety, and he didn't care about dispersing the wolves, so he pulled his legs and kept tracking along the grass that had been trampled on the ground.
After more than 100 zhang of progress, the grass became denser, the towering ancient trees towered into the clouds, and they had entered the deepest part of the forest, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the wild wolves that followed behind did not know when to stop.
Lu Tianyang felt a sigh in his heart, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. He paused and listened, but there was no sound of wild beasts around him.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Lu Tianyang didn't dare to be careless, clenched the long thick branch in his hand, and walked forward step by step.
The night wind blew and the leaves rustled, Lu Tianyang took a deep breath, and felt that there was a smell of blood in the wind.
He was stunned, raised the lantern and looked in the direction of the wind, and couldn't help but be startled.
I saw a strong man planted at the root of a big tree not far away, his body distorted into an extremely strange shape, half of his body was almost crushed into a ball of flesh and blood, as if he had been thrown down from a great place by a powerful force and fell to his death.
