Leaving dry food and water for Xu Xiang, the four of them set off for the north.

It will take at least half a day for Xu Xiang to go from the top of the mountain where he is currently to the opposite mountainside, even if he can successfully find it and not borrow it, the four of them will already be far away.

As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, not going to see Lin Lan can ensure that the motives of the four people entering the mountain will not be known by outsiders, but if you don't see Lin Lan, there is no way to explore the news of Lingshan, Lin Lan used a lot of things to replace Lu Wu Neidan back then, including Huo Huan Cloth, and Huo Huan Cloth is only produced in Flame Mountain, Lin Lan has Huo Huan Cloth means that he is likely to have been to Ling Mountain, if Lin Lan is willing to inform everyone about the situation in Ling Mountain, everyone can save a lot of trouble.

Wu Dongfang naturally took this into account, the reason why he didn't go to see Lin Lan had three considerations, one was for safety reasons, he and Lin Lan had only traded once, they were not familiar with each other, they were not friends, and they had to prevent Lin Lan from being greedy and summoning helpers to plot against them.

Another consideration is to delay time, before he left, he had agreed with the prince on the time to go out of the mountain, to stay in the mountain for fifty to sixty days, and now only seven days have passed, if Lin Lan is not bad, and also told them the situation of Lingshan, there is no way to slow down and slow back.

The last consideration is more obscure, that is, the relationship between the indigenous and the foreign wizard, the foreign wizard and the indigenous wizard are hostile to each other, he has no good impression of those foreign wizards who are hiding in the mountains when they are dying, and he doesn't want to have too much interaction with them, but he can consider cooperating with the indigenous wizard, Yu Gong, the native wizard is the master here, and the foreign wizard is an uninvited villain. Yu privately, the indigenous wizards should be more familiar with Lingshan, and he can get more detailed information by cooperating with them, in addition, he is also very interested in the spells of these indigenous wizards, and cultivation should not be the privilege of some nobles, and the door to cultivation should be open to everyone.

Thinking so, it's hard to say whether they can do this, after all, for the indigenous wizards, they are also foreign wizards, and they are predators who cut through the inner pills and dig up spiritual objects, and if they meet the indigenous wizards, the other party is unlikely to show a friendly attitude towards them.

When he was sweeping north, Wu Dongfang had been thinking about various possibilities in his mind, and he thought carefully before encountering an incident, so that he would not be in a hurry when the matter came.

Since Kunlun Mountain at this time is not exactly the same area as the modern Kunlun Mountain, he can't figure out where the four of them are at the moment, but according to the prince, there are three thousand miles from the dragon's claw to the dragon's head, and it is estimated that the distance of the four people flew before, combined with the current speed of the four people, Wu Dongfang made a general judgment, if nothing else, he should be able to reach the dragon head area of Kunlun Mountain at noon tomorrow.

At this time, Kunlun Mountain is a closed area, there are many strange birds, beasts, birds and insects, which are much more dangerous than the outside, but the mountain is not a scene of demons dancing wildly, like those carnivorous sheep and brain-eating monster bees brought out by Lu Wu are not common in the mountains, and the four of them are flying in the air, so there are few obstacles on the way.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the four of them settled down to rest again, and Wu Dongfang condensed four earthen houses as usual, and the four of them lived in one room and meditated cross-legged.

Wu Dongfang already had Taixuan cultivation at this time, and Qi cultivation became dispensable for him, and he fell asleep first after a few weeks of qi.

At two o'clock in the second half of the night, Wu Dongfang heard a slight footsteps, and after listening carefully, he found that the footsteps were not outsiders, but Xunshuang who lived next door, and Xunshuang walked very slowly for some reason, and it was obviously approaching his room.

Suspicious in his heart, Wu Dongfang turned over and sat up, the rooms of the four were next to each other, and it didn't take long for Xunshuang to walk to his door, and when he saw that he had already sat up, he beckoned to him.

Wu Dongfang put on his shoes and went to the ground, stepping out.

Xunshuang made a silent gesture, walked north with Wu Dong, walked to a cluster of bushes in front of the house, squatted down, raised his hand and pointed to the northwest mountain.

Following Xunshuang's point, Wu Dongfang looked in the northwest direction, he didn't feel the aura of the alien, and he didn't see anything abnormal.

Five miles away, a white night owl squatted on the big locust tree on the mountainside. Frost reminded in a low voice.

"This thing is in the mountains. Wu Dongfang yawned, the night owl that Xunshuang said was the current owl, there was indeed an owl squatting on the tree, it was white, but it had no spiritual cultivation, and it was not big, but the coat color was relatively special.

"Look at its left paw. Xunshuang said.

Wu Dongfang couldn't see the owl's left paw where he was, and tilted his head to try to see more clearly.

"Be careful, don't be seen by it. Xunshuang said hurriedly.

When Wu Dongfang heard this, he slowed down, tilted his head slowly, tilted his head at the right angle, and saw the left claw of the owl, and the left claw of the owl was covered with a small yellow copper ring.

The presence of a brass ring indicates that the owl has a master, and an owl with a master stays around the camp of the four, and it is very likely that it is spying on the four.

"It stayed in the tree for most of the hour, never screaming or moving. Frost looked directly at the owl in the distance.

"Don't alarm it just yet. Wu Dongfang said.

"What to do?" Frost asked in a low voice.

Although the two were talking in a low voice, Xin Tong and Fei Xuan still heard the sound, and they did not come out recklessly, but asked in a low voice in the room what was going on.

"There is a domesticated owl snooping in the distance, do not come out so that it will not be discovered. Wu Dongfang said.

After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the three of them did not answer, and after thinking about it, Wu Dongfang spoke again, "You continue to rest, I will keep an eye on it, it will leave sooner or later, and when the time comes, I will follow it to see who is spying on us." ”

Fei Xuan and Xin Tong in the room agreed, Xunshuang took out a water spirit bead from the cloth bag on his waist and handed it to Wu Dongfang, turned around and went back to the room.

Wu Dongfang looked back at Xunshuang, Xunshuang was very alert, in current words, his nerves had been tense, in addition, Xunshuang was also very careful, and handed the water essence beads just in case, in case he was in danger on the way to follow the owl, he could summon the three of them to help.

After Xunshuang entered the house, Wu Dongfang retracted his gaze and stared at the owl under the cover of the bushes, it is unlikely that this owl appeared here by chance, it should have been assigned by someone to monitor them, but there is no way to deduce who the owner of this owl is, they do not belong here, after entering the mountain, there was a lot of movement, everyone in the mountain, every beast that has become a sperm has a reason to monitor them.

Although it was summer, the second half of the night was still very cold, the mountains were damp, and the fog began to rise in the early morning, and just as the sky was dark, the owl flapped its wings without warning and flew west against the treetops.

"It's gone, I'll take a look, you guys stay safe. Wu Dongfang greeted the three of them, so that the people could not hide their whereabouts when they moved, which was the reason why the three of them could not go together.

The owl did not fly fast, and the flight altitude was not high, and it kept flying close to the treetops, and Wu Dongfang followed behind unhurriedly.

Two hundred miles later, the owl stopped from a large tree, and there were no villages or caves around the big tree, which belonged to no man's land.

After staying in the tree for more than ten minutes, the owl rushed down from the tree, caught a mouse returning to the nest, returned to the tree and began to tear, but although the guy tore but did not swallow, a mouse was torn to pieces by it.

Wu Dongfang took out the wine jar to drink to keep out the cold, and the owl spoiled the mouse for more than ten minutes, and after the mouse was divided, the guy squatted on the tree and did not move.

There are no nests in the large trees where it stood, and there is no owl droppings.

Just when Wu Dongfang gradually lost his patience, the owl flapped its wings again and flew westward, at this time the sky was already seven minutes old, and the fog in the mountains was heavier, Wu Dongfang shortened the distance of tracking, and always followed within two miles behind the owl.

The owl flapped its wings and flew westward, without pausing halfway, and flew for two hours, and at eight o'clock in the morning, it was still flying westward, estimating the distance, and it had followed for nearly a thousand miles.

Wu Dongfang began to muttered in his heart, the owl and its owner should not live so far, this place is thousands of miles away from the place where the four of them stayed, why is it necessary for the owl's owner to send the owl to observe the situation thousands of miles away.

At this moment, a large falcon appeared in the distance, located above the owl, and the owl did not perceive the danger and was still flying westward unhurriedly.

The eagle falcon above adjusted its position and swooped down quickly, grabbing the owl from the air, Wu Dongfang saw this and hurriedly cast the heaven and earth together, chased after and grabbed the owl before the eagle falcon could go down.

The eagle falcon screamed and flew away, Wu Dongfang frowned and looked at the owl in his hand, there were two scratches on the owl's wings and back, these two wounds were not fatal injuries, but the strange thing was that the owl had lost its breath at this time.

He had clearly seen that the falcon had only grabbed it, but had not pecked it, so how could this owl suddenly hang up.

Carrying its wings and shaking, the owl's head drooped, it was really dead, not pretending to be dead.

Wu Dongfang scolded secretly, followed him for most of the day, ran thousands of miles, and finally worked in vain.

The dead owl must not be able to lead the way, Wu Dongfang took off the copper ring on its feet, and just wanted to throw away the owl's corpse, when he suddenly found that its left claw was a little broken, and the broken skin was the part where the copper ring was covered before.

Look at the copper ring in your hand, it is a very ordinary copper ring, without any mark, the style of this copper ring is a little similar to the live gold ring worn by rural women, not put on, but wound.

This situation indicates that the brass ring on the owl's talons may have been wound recently, and it was a little tight, and the skin was worn out during flight.

Wu Dongfang vaguely felt that something was wrong, this owl was white, white owls were relatively rare, and it was easy for them to detect the situation when they sent it out to spy on the situation, and this person seemed to be afraid that they would not be suspicious, and wrapped a copper ring around the owl's talons, which was to spy on the situation, this was clearly to attract attention.

"Oh no, turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Wu Dongfang's heart sank, and he frantically urged the aura to fly eastward, this owl was probably controlled by someone with some kind of spell, the purpose was to attract him away from the camp, and the other party's ultimate goal was to lure him away and take the opportunity to attack Fei Xuan and the others......
