Chapter 142: Tracking
Seeing the dust rising in the camp at the foot of the mountain from a distance, Ding Yu stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Okay, the chasing soldiers are finally dispatched, and you can rest assured that the falling star girl." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
Tong Luoxing had no way to go back to the Vulture Palace on her own at this time, and she could only cooperate with Ding Yu's actions, so she was no longer wrapped in a bear skin like a burden, but found a few pieces of wood and made a simple and rough chair, let Ding Yu carry it on her back, and then sat on the chair with her back to Ding Yu.
Then she glanced at the camp at the foot of the mountain, then looked up at the falcon in the sky, and said, "What are you going to do with those flat-haired beasts up there?" With those pairs of eyes staring, it will be difficult for you to shake off the pursuers behind. โ
Ding Yu took a step forward, as if he was moving slowly to the southwest, and replied unhurriedly: "Just let those big birds keep an eye on it, I don't plan to get rid of them at the beginning, otherwise they won't be able to catch up with me, and turn around and go back to attack the Vulture Palace, won't I waste all my efforts in vain?"
Tong Luoxing said in surprise: "Little monk, do you think that with your profound internal strength alone, it is enough to run a long distance in the Western Regions? I am not afraid to tell you that in the Western Regions, except for the abundant water and grass at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, most of the rest are full of yellow sand, the hot wind is scorching during the day, and the cold wind is biting at night, it is the top master, and it can't last three or five days without clear water." What's more, you still have to run on my back, and the water will be consumed faster.
You came out unprepared, and now you can't hide your whereabouts, so you can only race with the pursuers behind you, and I see that most of them have brought enough water for their mounts. If you continue like this, I am afraid that within two or three days, without their hands, you yourself will die of thirst in the desert. โ
"Tom, tom" twice, Ding Yu took out two things from his arms, threw them back, and accurately fell into Tong Luoxing's hands.
He said: "Don't worry, since the poor monk has planned to rob you a long time ago, how can he not make preparations? Here is a bag of beef and mutton jerky, a bag of water, and I have another copy here." As long as you save some food and drink, it should be enough to survive two days.
On the boundary of the Western Regions, there is a large river called the Tarim River, which extends almost all the way to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. I asked your subordinates, the closest section of the river to Vulture Peak is about three or four hundred miles away. On my feet, as long as I don't go the wrong way, a day or two is more than enough. Even your subordinates know that you, the Lord of Vulture Peak, don't you don't know the way?"
Tong Luoxing suddenly said angrily: "You thief monk, you have such a thorough plan, when did you start thinking about kidnapping?"
"From the day the poor monks broke into the camp, it was about five days. โ
Seeing Ding Yu admit it so happily, Tong Luoxing only felt that the roots of his teeth itched for a while.

Li Qiushui and others chased after him for about an hour, and the ground under his feet gradually changed from a grassland to a desert. Hao Xun perked up and said to Adi Renqin and the other four masters: "The speed of the person in front of us was similar to ours before, but in the desert, human legs are not comparable to camel legs. From now on, it will take an hour or two to be fast, or half a day to be slow, and we should be able to catch up with that guy. I wonder what your lords are going to do?"
Dochapa snorted: "What other plans? Catch up and kill him directly, will the four of us still be afraid of him?"
Hao Hao said with a smile: "What the Dharma King said is true. However, according to the practice of our sand thieves, since they have bitten the tail of the prey, they may as well drag out the hunt time, we have mounts, the prey only has one pair of legs, and the longer the time, the more physical strength will be consumed, and after a day or two, even the iron man will not have much strength left, and it will be much easier to start at that time. โ
Murong Li glanced at Hao Hao in surprise and praised: "Hao Gang Leader is worthy of being the leader of the number one gang in the Western Regions, and he is really resourceful!"
Li Qiushui also nodded and said: "That monk's martial arts are not trivial, even if there are many of us, we can't underestimate the enemy, Hao Gang Master's plan is very clever, what does Master Ardi Renqin think?"
Adi Rinchen sat upright on the back of a camel, his eyes seemed to be slightly closed, but in fact, he kept chasing the back of Ding Yu in front of him. He said lightly: "Hunting in the desert, Hao Gang Master is an expert, and Lao Wei has no opinion." โ
However, to everyone's surprise, Ding Yu was three or four miles away from them at first, and after entering the desert for three or five hours, the distance between them was still three or five miles. Duochaba said a little impatiently: "Hao Gang Master, although you want to extend the hunting time as much as possible, you don't have to be so far behind. I chased close to a mile or two, and I could see the guy's body movements clearly. โ
Hao Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was thinking about how to explain it, when he heard Ati Renqin say: "Senior brother, it's not that Hao Gang Master doesn't want to get closer, but he can't get closer. You look back at the back, then at the front. โ
Dochabayyan looked back and forth, except for the sand dunes and shrubs, there were camel footprints left by himself and others, and the front was the same as the rear except for the absence of camel footprints. He scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Please forgive my brother for being foolish, I didn't see anything." โ
Atirenqin sighed and said, "Senior brother, have you noticed that there has been no wind from about half an hour ago to now, but there are no footprints of the person in front of you in the sand, which means that the person's footprints are not covered by the wind and sand, but he has not left any footprints at allโhow can such a light skill of stepping on the sand without a trace be chased by a camel?"
"Treading the sand without a trace?" Dochapa was taken aback, he thought for a while, suddenly jumped off the back of the camel, tried to run a few steps first, and found that there were shallow footprints left on the sand, he was not convinced, he lifted a breath of true qi, and ran lightly with all his strength, and after a few steps, there were no footprints on the sand surface.
He smiled and said, "Senior brother, it's nothing big to tread on the sand without a trace!"
Ati Rinchen shook his head, grabbed a large bag of dry food from the hunchback next to him, weighing about fifty or sixty catties, and threw it towards Dochapa, saying in his mouth, "Carry this bag of dry food and try again." โ
Dochapa did not move his hands or shoulders, and took a slight half-step step under his feet, then firmly grasped the bag of dry food with his shoulders, and then continued on his way. But this time, Rao is that he has run the light work to the extreme, and every step he takes, he will still leave half a shallow footprint on the yellow sandy ground.
Dochapa ran for more than a dozen steps, looked down at the footprints on the ground, and knew that he couldn't do it after carrying the weight, so he jumped back on the camel's back in a negative mood, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Senior brother, I am not good at light skills, and judging from the footprints, Na Ding Yu's light skills are only half a step better than me, but they can't beat you, senior brother." โ
Ati Rinchen sighed secretly, the heart of the Dao Duochapa junior disciple is brave and diligent, but the mind is lacking, so such a subtle kung fu like the flame knife cannot be learned, fortunately, my new disciple Kuma Zhi is both highly qualified and extremely intelligent, otherwise my kung fu will be lost.
He explained: "Na Ding Yu can still step on the sand without a trace on his back, and it seems that he is only half a step above you, but in fact, he is not as full as you do, and deliberately takes his steps lightly; (To be continued.) )
