Chapter 37: Ambush

It's been two days, and Yun and Xiao are still on the run.

At this time, the two of them had entered an endless mountain. Although I don't know where I am, I can still tell the direction from the position of the sun, moon and stars and the growth of trees thanks to the experience of surviving in the wild since I was a child, and I go all the way to the north.

Since entering the mountain, Yun Yun feels much more relaxed. In the past two days, he has been staring at people, especially before entering the mountain, so he took a little to give up the road and decisively entered the mountain. After half a day of suspicion, constantly interspersed with roundabouts, and from time to time to clear the traces, now the feeling is a little lighter.

But Yun knew that they didn't really get rid of each other, and the person who was tracking him was also a master. Changing his route several times only caused him a little trouble, but he always found the right direction to follow, it just took a little more time.

At night, Yun and Xiao built a small nest with branches on a big tree, huddled in it and nibbled on wild fruits. They did not dare to light a fire, for fear of exposing the target. But fortunately, in early autumn, it was easy to get food in such a primeval forest, and after a while, Kung Fu Yun came back with a large bag of wild fruits and nuts.

The little cheeks were stuffed and bulging, chewing quickly like a squirrel, and asked vaguely: "Brother Yun, when are we going to run! I've been exhausted for the past two days! I should have gotten rid of the trackers, right?"

"Nope". Yun straightened up and looked behind him: "He is only ten miles away from us. ”

"How do you know?" Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"You didn't pay attention, the birds that were already perched ten miles away just now flew out in large numbers, and they must have been disturbed. ”

"Could it be a monkey, a tiger, or something?"

"No, I can't be wrong. Do you remember that we also changed direction when we came out of Tongjiang, but we were still caught up by those two guys. There must be some of them who are experts in tracking. ”

"So what are we going to do? just keep running?" Xiao Xiao was a little deflated.

Sniffing the moisture in the air, Yun said affirmatively: "If I am not mistaken, there will be a heavy rain tonight, and maybe tomorrow will be our chance to get rid of him." ”

Sure enough, as expected, a heavy rain came as scheduled. Xiaoxiao, who had only slept for three hours, was woken up by the clouds, and the two braved the pouring rain to cheer up and continue their journey.

He Er was also very depressed at this time, thinking that tracking down the two juniors was a matter of being caught. I didn't expect these two young people to be as cunning as foxes. Since entering the mountain, they have been circling in circles and then jumping out suddenly, or deliberately leaving traces to lead themselves in the wrong direction, and they have almost been thrown off several times. He Er, who is used to being pampered on weekdays, wanted to give up a little, but when he thought that he had praised Haikou in front of He Da, he would definitely be ridiculed if he went back like this, so he had to grit his teeth and continue to chase after him. Today, He Er only slept for two hours and set off, and when he found the nest where the two slept yesterday, these two juniors ran for a long time in advance.

Rubbing his teeth, He Er secretly spontaneously ruthless: "Run! Run! Don't let the second master and me catch up, or let you look good!"

The clouds and Xiaoxiao, one foot deep and one foot shallow, had already been on the road all morning, and the rain gradually stopped. After the rain, the mountain road is very muddy and slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall. It's okay in the clouds, Xiaoxiao has fallen four or five times, and she looks like a mud monkey. If it weren't for the fact that I was always able to be pulled by the quick-eyed clouds, I might have rolled down the mountain by now. A little face is as dirty as a little cat, and the color of the clothes is no longer visible. His arms and hands were covered in blood from branches and weeds.

Yun couldn't help but admire a little, this girl is really tough. fell and was injured, but he followed his footsteps tightly without saying a word, without complaining.

"Let's take a break!" Seeing that Xiaoxiao had reached her limit, Yun helped her find a stone and sat down. I hope to get rid of the other party, and the cloud has no bottom in his heart. While the rain could hide the traces of their escape, it also left him with no time to deal with the broken branches, the loose stones, and the weeds that had been crushed after the fall. These flaws are undoubtedly signposts in the eyes of the tracking masters.

A puff of smoke rose dozens of miles behind him, and the clouds felt cold. It seems that he still hasn't shaken it off, and the other party has obviously lost his patience, no longer hiding his figure, and has started to make a fire to cook. Then there will be no more cat-and-mouse games, and what awaits them will be an all-out hunt.

Turning his head to look at Xiaoxiao's slightly desperate eyes, Yun knew that if it was just himself, he would still have some certainty of escaping. But this strong girl next to her should be on the verge of collapse, and she will be caught up in less than half a day.

"Don't run away", Yun suddenly stood up and made up his mind: "You find a place to hide, and I'll meet him when I go back." ”

"Then how can it be done, you can't be his opponent! ”

Feeling Xiaoxiao's sincere concern, a smile appeared on Yun's resolute face.

"Who have I been afraid of in this deep mountain and old forest!"

After finding a relatively dry cave and settling down, she stuffed the few remaining fruits into her hands, and Yun explained: "Hide here, no matter what sound you hear, don't go out if anything happens." Wait for me here, and if I haven't come back after dark, don't look for me, just go and go down the hill along the stream I just saw. There should be a river at the bottom of the mountain, and you can go out by walking all the way along the river. Remember, keep walking and don't look back, don't let my efforts go to waste!"

Looking at the figure of the clouds resolutely leaving, tears blurred the little eyes. For the first time, Xiao Xiao felt heartache. She knew that if it weren't for herself, the man could easily get away. Now he has to turn back and fight for his life. Three days ago, the scene of the two of them fighting He Er and escaping is still vivid, and today he will turn back alone to face a powerful enemy, it will be a battle of life and death. But with his current state, not only can he not help him, but also drag him back.

Little sobbed, curled up, silently praying for the clouds.

The clouds are constantly running, stopping from time to time to design traps based on local materials. He knew that he didn't have much time, and a few dozen miles was a matter of two hours for a master tracker. These traps are a bit rudimentary, at most, they are delaying the other party's efforts for a while, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to him. You don't have many chances, and you have to start when your opponent is tired, impatient, and lets your guard down. There was not even the slightest possibility of success in a face-to-face collision. Fortunately, the jungle is his home turf, and anything can be exploited by him.

After carefully arranging the last trap, he took his freshly made bow and arrows and climbed up to the top of a large tree, gasping for breath.

He Er slowly straightened his waist, this was the first trap he had broken? the fifth or the sixth? The two juniors who escaped had obviously exhausted their donkey skills, and the traps were getting more and more shabby. Don't talk about yourself in this level of trap, even a wild boar will not stupidly step into it. After several days of tracking, He Er was also a little unbearable, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and he was drenched by a heavy rain, which made him gradually impatient at the beginning.

"Fuck He Da!" He Er even had some doubts about whether He Da could find himself. The marks made along the way should have been washed away by this rain long ago.

"He Da, that old guy is usually pampered, how can he have suffered like this, will he fall and break his leg on such a slippery mountain road?" He Er thought with some wicked interest. Now he just wants to get the matter done quickly, go back early and take a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep. Since you have decided not to hide anymore, let's go all out to hunt down and kill! Let these two juniors know what despair is and what gap is before they die!

Oh! Another trap. Inserting two bamboo sticks and casually covering some grass is a trap? This is simply an insult to his professional standards. He Er was too lazy to break it, and stepped over directly.

Damn!

As soon as his foot hit the ground, he knew that it was not good, and his body sank downward. At the critical moment, his agile skills saved him, and a dagger was instantly inserted into the wall of the cave by him, supporting his body. Before he could wipe off the cold sweat, a large tree stump fell from the sky, and his body was hanging in the air with nowhere to be forced, and he knew that he couldn't dodge. So he used his true qi to blast upwards with his left fist.

The stump was torn apart by his full thud. But with a click, the dagger could no longer withstand his weight and downward momentum and snapped.

Poof, he was smashed to the bottom of the pit and was pierced by a bamboo stick in his left foot.

The beads of sweat the size of the bean remained. is careless, but the other party is too cunning, and the previous trap is just to confuse himself, making him gradually lose his defense. And this trap is the killer move.

It's a natural cave, but it's well disguised. The entrance to the cave was blocked with rattans, and it was slapped with earth, and even a dozen small grasses were moved. Of course, the bamboo sticks in front of him were just a disguise, in order to let him relax his vigilance and step over. And he really got hit, and that's not all, this trap is still a chain trap, and the moment he falls, it also touches other mechanisms. Let the stump hidden in the canopy above your head fall in an instant. The other party's scheming is really deep, if he hadn't reacted quickly enough and had a little luck, he just slipped down against the wall of the cave, and it would not have been just a problem of hurting his left foot.

Pulling out the bamboo sticks, doing a simple bandaging and treatment, He Er crawled out of the cave. The injury on my foot wasn't too serious, but it was impossible to move quickly. It is no longer realistic to continue tracking, at this time, He Er no longer has the previous sharpness, he just wants to go back as soon as possible, of course, he will not believe that even if he is slightly injured, he can still die in this deep mountain and old forest with his skills.
