Chapter 606: Trace
Niu Cong sighed, "Actually, this starts with an infectious disease. Before the Great War, there was an infectious disease in Chixiao, with an insidious onset but widespread infection. Because it was not obvious at the beginning of the disease, it slowly spread among the world. In the middle and later stages, it will lead to more obvious symptoms of yin and yang imbalance, so the harmony pill arises at this time. ”
However, later, because it was extremely harmful to people, the god of love, the god of memory, and the inheritors of human gods joined forces to sanitize this infectious disease. Large-scale infections have been controlled, but local outbreaks and small-scale epidemics are still frequent. So, Harmony Dan has always been making and selling. ”
Speaking of this, Wan Peng muttered, "Does that mean that those people are sick? No, if they are sick and spread this disease to our tribe, according to what you said, the onset of the disease is more insidious, and it is impossible for symptoms to appear now." ”
Niu Cong nodded, "You're right. This infectious disease, in fact, is just an introduction. At that time, in Chixiao, there was a town where the chief executive was very interested in this infectious disease. After years of intense research, he finally discovered the mystery of this infectious disease. Then, he created a method called the Yin and Yang Soul Breaking Technique. This kind of method belongs to a kind of internal strength and mental method, which will be attached to the spiritual power of the practitioner, and if this method is cultivated, then the moves during the battle will show obvious characteristics that cause people to be disordered in yin and yang. ”
Under his painstaking management, within five years, the combat effectiveness of his town has increased greatly. The mayor of the town, with inflated ambitions, secretly expands his army and forms a force to be reckoned with. However, the authorities did not find out. Because this town is relatively remote, there are relatively few products. So, after another two or three years, a riot broke out. ”
Wan Peng sighed, "The more remote the place, the easier it is to hope for more resources and power to control more land. This is also normal. And then what?"
Niu Congdao, "When the authorities reacted, this town had expanded outward for nearly a thousand miles, conquering 23 large and small towns, and it was quite powerful to fight against the authorities. However, it was impossible for the authorities to allow such a thing to happen, and with the intervention of the inheritors of the three gods, the unrest was quelled and the mayor of the town was executed. ”
Wan Peng had already guessed the follow-up situation, "However, the mayor of the town is dead, and the people he cultivated, those who have the Yin and Yang Soul Breaking Technique and ambition, are not all dead. They were divided into small units and survived in various forms. After that, these people engaged in guerrilla warfare with the authorities, until before the big war. ”
Niu Cong nodded, "You're right. However, after the war, these people never appeared. At least, I haven't encountered one. So, this is the first time. This shows that the yin and yang bandits still exist and are still endangering the safety of the tribe after the war. ”
"But that's a little weird. Wan Peng took two steps and said, "It stands to reason that people like them, when they hurt others, they will cause the injured person to cause yin and yang imbalance, and they shouldn't have a similar situation." Otherwise, they would have become extinct long ago. Now, however, they need to use the Harmony Dan. So it seems ......"
Wan Peng looked at Niu Cong, "Two possibilities." First, they were sick and urgently needed to reconcile Dan. The second possibility is that there is a conflict within them. ”
Niu Congdao, "It's not very likely to be infected. Because in the beginning, the effect of this infectious disease on people was that the higher the cultivation, the faster the onset of the disease. If those Jindan cultivators were infected, once they found out, they would soon fall into a disorder of the internal environment. Therefore, they will not come out to rob. Therefore, it should be their camp where there is an internal conflict. They are the ones who will bring medicine and go back to save them. ”
Wan Peng frowned. Niu Cong's analysis makes sense, those people are here to get medicine to save people. However, this speaks to another story. The location of this tribe has long been exposed. In the past, those people from Jingmu Mountain took away Niu Cong's son, and later these thirty Jin Dan came to plunder.
In this way, the tribe had to be relocated. However, before the relocation, it was very difficult to treat these injured people. Wan Peng turned to Xie Ting, "Is there really no way to refine these pills in a short period of time?"
Xie Ting shook her head and said, "It's really too late." Otherwise, I would have done it a long time ago. ”
Wan Peng said, "Then, in this way, it can only be a chance of luck." Hopefully, the medicine hasn't been used up by them all, and we'll go and get it back. Originally, those people were rebels and bandits, and justice would not tolerate them. ”
Niu Congdao, "But we don't know where those people come from, let alone where they are." ”
Wan Peng smiled slightly, and seemed to be more confident, "Don't worry." Something to track, there is it. With that, Xiao Hei appeared next to Wan Peng's lap and screamed, tilting his head a little proudly.
Wan Peng said, "We can catch up with you, it's Xiao Hei." Now go find some of the things those people left behind. Fighting for so long, it's impossible not to leave something here. ”
Xie Ting seemed to have thought of something, turned to leave, and after a while, took a cloth bag that was oozing blood, "Is this okay?"
Wan Peng opened the cloth bag, but saw that it was a hand. This hand was broken from the wrist, and the break was very neat, and it should have been cut off by the magic trick.
"Okay, I have to ask Xiao Hei. Wan Peng handed this hand to Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei sniffed, as if he had found a signature smell, and shouted to Wan Peng again.
Wan Peng looked at Xie Ting, "Do you go with me, or do you want to treat the wounded here?"
Xie Ting hesitated for a moment and said, "Now the wounded are basically stable, and only medicine is needed." They have their own medicine repair, which is basically able to deal with emergencies. Then I'll let you go. ”
Wan Peng nodded, "Okay." He turned to Niu Cong again, "You stay here, organize the rest of the people, and prepare for defense." After I'm gone, I'll activate the formation again, which will protect you for at least a while. ”
Niu Cong was stunned. "You, aren't you taking our Jindan cultivator with you?"
Wan Peng said, "No." First, you can't send all your combat power out here, then you won't be safe. Second, I'll go and find out the truth before making a decision. If we go out with too many people, it's too easy to be discovered. ”
Niu Cong was obviously still not at ease, and was about to say something, but was patted on the shoulder by Wan Peng, "Don't worry, I will come back." After speaking, he took Xie Ting and Xiao Hei and walked out.
Out of the water, Wan Peng first confirmed the safety situation around him. After noticing no threat, he called out to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei had already been sniffing in the air for a long time, and now he seemed to have determined his bearing, shouted in the northwest direction, and then rushed out directly.
Wan Peng and Xie Ting followed closely behind, heading in the northwest direction.
Unexpectedly, after walking out for five or six hundred miles, Xiao Hei's speed slowed down. Its height has also begun to decline, and it is clear that there is a tendency to prepare for the landing.
Below is a grove of woods. Looking at the sky on top of each other, there are layers of trees, and there is no mystery in them. Of course, just like the lake, the woods are a great place to retreat.
Blackie landed on the edge of the woods, and then crouched down as if waiting for Wan Peng. Wan Peng and Xie Ting had already isolated themselves from the detection of the outside world's spiritual sense, and used illusion to hide their figures. As they descended from the sky, Wan Peng also continued to detect the trees. However, at least for now, all the trees detected in his field of vision are real, and there is no such thing as a phantom array.
When he got closer, Wan Peng found that Xiao Hei's front paws were pointing to a bush on the ground. There were two spots of blood there, which had dried up, but apparently not for long. If you extrapolate from the time when the tribe of Niu Cong was attacked, it is more consistent.
Xiao Hei seemed to be waiting for Wan Peng's instructions. Wan Peng cautiously observed the surroundings again, and ordered the little black hair, "Go." ”
Little Black wagged his tail, but this time he stopped making a sound, and turned and walked into the woods.
This forest is a coniferous forest, and because it grows relatively densely, the trees grow straight upward. There wasn't much of a gap between the trees, but there were no shrubs growing underneath, so it wasn't a big deal to walk. In addition, there is a thick layer of pine needles on the ground, so even if you don't control your steps, it will be soft and will not make a noticeable sound.
The forest was very quiet, and Wan Peng could clearly hear Xie Ting's breathing.
After walking forward for more than ten miles, Xiao Hei stopped again. It looked at Wan Peng, as if it didn't want to go any further.
Wan Peng took a deep breath and looked in Xiao Hei's direction. It's still forests and trees, nothing out of the ordinary. When using psionic detection, the trees you see are real. However, the spiritual sense looked inward again, and Wan Peng understood.
A little more than a mile further inward, there was a small clearing. The area of the open space is not large, maybe only three or five feet square. The foliage of the canopy of the surrounding trees stretched out, essentially blocking the clearing. So, when observing from the air, you may not notice this place at all.
And in the middle of the clearing, there is a large tree. Wan Peng can't see it now, but he can detect it. The trunk of the tree is extremely thick, and there is a hole in the middle.
Retracting Xiao Hei into the ring, Wan Peng motioned to Xie Ting not to make a sound, and the two began to walk forward slowly.
If this is the location that Blackie has determined, then they have penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland. However, to Wan Peng's surprise, so far, his spiritual sense has not detected any outposts hidden in the shadows.
It's definitely not a normal right now. If there is no need for people to be on guard outside, then there should be some other way. However, there are no formations here, whether artificial or natural.
Wan Peng suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart. After all, thirty gold pills are no joke. Moreover, in this kind of woods, it is not easy to launch attack and defense. If the enemy sets a trap to lure him in, the consequences may be dire.
As the two of them walked through the last few trees, their eyes suddenly dawned.
