Liu Dabiao shouted: "Let's go, hurry up, rush to the place before dark, after entering, the fourth will lead the team, the third will look for traces, and the fifth will cooperate, be careful in everything." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 With that, he clamped the horse's belly, and the whip sounded in the air, and the speed increased a little.

Lu You stopped talking and silently followed the third senior brother.

At the beginning of night, the four abandoned their horses and went uphill, and found some traces left by people in the mountain forest, many of them, and now they are nowhere to be seen, perhaps they have entered the cave.

Hu Min took the lead, and the four of them came not far from the entrance, and with their strength, they naturally noticed that there were some people hidden around, who should be disciples of the three major forces or other first-class sects, and these people were guarding the periphery to prevent unscrupulous people.

Liu Dabiao whispered: "Go in, don't alarm them." ”

The three of them nodded, and under the cover of the night, they quietly entered the entrance of the cave, and outsiders could not detect anything abnormal at all.

After entering a certain distance, they lit the butter torch that had been prepared long ago, although the martial arts masters were far more intelligent than ordinary people, and they could also read things in the dark, but it was not very accurate, they could only light the torch if they wanted to find the marks left by the people of the Qinglan Sect.

Hu Min walked in the first place, looking for the marks she saw yesterday along the way, this place is complicated and abnormal, even if she only came yesterday, but she is still not sure that she is walking the same road.

After walking for an hour, Hu Min stopped at a fork in the road, pointed to a bulge at the rock wall that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, and turned around and said: "This is the last mark left by the master, and I didn't find any other marks in the first two passages, so I couldn't go deeper." ”

Lu You walked over, and saw the notches of the three peaks in the bulge, which were the hallmarks of the Qinglan Sect, and when he retracted his gaze, he found that there was a five-petal plum blossom mark not far from this notch, which was very hidden and extremely difficult to find.

"Third Senior Brother, you see, who left this mark. Lu You asked, pointing to the plum blossom mark.

Zhu Changdrunk walked over, glanced at it, and replied: "There are several sects in the rivers and lakes that use plum blossoms as imprints, I don't recognize them," paused, remembered other things, and continued: "However, Qingxia Peak also uses five-petal plum blossoms as a mark, and it may also be a person from Qingxia Peak." Although he hadn't been down for a long time, he still remembered a lot of things clearly.

Liu Dabiao interjected and said, "No, I know that there are no elders from Qingxia Peak here, and they won't be from Qingxia Peak." ”

Hu Min said: "Then it should be the mark of other sects, they may also follow the mark left by the master to come here, and they didn't find a follow-up mark, so they made a mark of their own here, and then started to search." ”

Liu Dabiao said solemnly: "Don't care about others, the most important thing now is where to go, all the way, there are no less than 20 forks in the road, if there are no clues, we can only play hide and seek in this maze like everyone else." ”

Zhu Changdrunk looked around the passage, trying to find some clues, after all, he had been to many places back then, and he had a strong ability to find traces and follow clues, so he might be able to find some useful information.

Lu You was not idle, looking here, knocking there, sniffing around the wall, in fact, when he first entered the cave, he felt a unique aura, and the deeper he went, the stronger the aura could be.

"Hey, it's so strange!" Lu You said to himself with a frown.

The second senior brother looked at Lu You and asked, "What's the matter, Fifth Five, what have you discovered?" ”

Lu You asked, "Second Senior Brother, do you smell anything?" he took a sip with his nose vigorously, feeling that his judgment was not wrong.

Zhu Chang was drunk, took a sharp breath, didn't feel any smell, and shook his head helplessly, Liu Dabiao and Hu Min were the same, they couldn't notice the difference.

Liu Dabiao remembered what the master told him about the fifth child, his expression was a little moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, do you smell a special breath?"

Lu You nodded, he already understood a little, maybe it had something to do with the demon clan blood in his body.

Liu Dabiao asked: "Then you just said that it is strange, is it a strange smell?" faintly felt that this was likely to be a breakthrough.

"The smell of the left passage is lighter, and the smell of the right passage is a little heavier, and if it is a few days, I will not be able to tell the difference. He searched through his mind, finally remembering what it was.

Lu Youxin said: "I didn't expect this smell to be the demonic aura left by the demon snake, it's really uncomfortable." ”

Liu Dabiao said happily: "Old Five, well done, it seems that it is a very wise decision for me to call you," After that, he pointed to the passage on the right with his big hand and said, "Go to the right." ”

"Old Five, I didn't expect you to have a dog nose. Zhu Changdrunk patted Lu You's shoulder, he was a first-class person in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally guessed something.

Liu Dabiao said: "Don't be poor, hurry up, if the smell disappears, our efforts along the way will be in vain." ”

Since the smell on the right is stronger, it means that the demon snake went from the right passage last time, as long as you keep following the smell, you can find where the demon snake is.

Zhu Changdrunk said: "Second brother, isn't there something wrong, what if the face is black and hits the butt of the demon snake, the four of us are not necessarily its opponents." ”

Liu Dabiao asked, "Did you say that the master wanted to come out before, after all, they have been in for many days, and the main sect has no news, and the situation is unknown." ”

Zhu Changzui knew that there were strict rules in the sect, such a major event, whether it was successful or not, he would definitely contact the main sect every few days, and now there was no news for more than half a month, it shouldn't be, he definitely wanted to leave but couldn't leave.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that there is another possibility, but no one wants to or will believe it.

"Do you mean that the demon snake erased the mark left by the master and made them get lost inside?, is the demon snake so smart?" he was shocked by the thought.

Liu Dabiao nodded emphatically, "Very likely, I once read in a book that the intelligence of the earth-level demon snake is not below us, if this is the case, then the master's current situation must be very dangerous." ”

Lu You was very worried, and said in his heart: "After such a long time, the master and they will definitely fight with the demon snake, but I don't know what the situation is." ”

Knowing that the situation was critical, the four of them didn't say much, Lu You led the way in front, came to the fork in the road to distinguish the direction, and then continued to move forward.

Lu You didn't know that they were traveling wildly all the way, much faster than the other people who entered the cave, and they could catch up with Chu Xie and them for a few days, and the demon snake was familiar with the path, and all they took were shortcuts, which invisibly shortened the distance between Lu You and Chu Xie and his party.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was very tired, they took turns to rest, and they had not been able to sleep well for the past few days, but they could only lie down on the cold rocks in the cave for a while, and relieve their fatigue a little.
