Ye Cong was careless for a moment and was about to die on the spot. Fortunately, at this time, Shu Ziqian finally arrived for help.

Seeing that Ye Cong's life was hanging by a thread, he finally stopped hiding clumsy, and the two orbs in his hand flew out. These two red pills are Shu Ziqian's magic weapons, which are very strange. In the rapid shooting in the air, not only did it swell abruptly, but it still maintained a mysterious trajectory that was intertwined and rotated. For a while, the sound and light were magnificent, and the momentum was extraordinary.

The monster who was about to kill Ye Cong had to let go of this opportunity and turned around and fought this blow with his claws. However, he blocked one red pill, but the other one was spun around the defense, and he was firmly beaten in the waist and abdomen.

Shu Ziqian's magic weapon is much more powerful than the Divine Light Sword. The monster didn't have time to howl miserably, so it was sent flying, and blood was splattered all over the sky. It slammed into a nearby house with a thud, dusty and a large hole in the wall.

Shu Ziqian took back the red pill and hurried a few steps to help Ye Cong up:

"Brother Ye, are you okay. ”

Ye Cong wiped a handful of ashes from his face, and said luckily:

"It's okay, you can still fight!"

At this time, Pan Ziming had also arrived, and the three of them surrounded the house. The life and death of the youkai in it is unknown, but it is expected that it will not be able to fly with wings.

But the world was unpredictable, and suddenly there were several screams in the house. Ye Cong and the others' faces sank: It's broken, there are villagers hiding in this house!

Before the three of them could react, mud bricks burst out from one of the gables of the house, and the monster broke out of the wall from inside. The direction is Shu Ziqian's side.

Shu Ziqian raised his wrist without saying a word, and the two orbs shot out again, straight to the monster's face. This monster was covered in blood and seriously injured, and he couldn't stop Shu Ziqian's full blow.

But at this moment, the monster suddenly blocked the thing behind him. The three of them looked at it, and it was Shu Xiaoqin who fell into the hands of the monster.

Her eyes were closed at this time, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse.

Just now, Shu Xiaoqin and several women and children were hiding in the house, but they didn't expect the monster to be knocked away by Shu Ziqian and happened to roll into it. Shu Xiaoqin was quite clever, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she immediately wanted to climb the window and escape. But the doors and windows have long been sealed, how can they be opened so easily.

The monster came back to his senses, and he knew that he would not be able to escape death if he went out and fought hard. It directly took Shu Xiaoqin hostage and rushed out.

Originally, the monster was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it wasn't sure that the three people outside would really throw a rat bogey. If you rush out, you'll be killed directly along with the hostages.

But its luck is quite good, and Shu Ziqian is quite a bit of a woman's kindness. Even if it's just an ordinary villager, he won't kill the killer, not to mention that it is his favorite sister who is in the hands of the monster.

"Xiaoqin!"

Shu Ziqian's eyes were about to split, the orb was already close at hand, and he would immediately kill Shu Xiaoqin and the monsters behind him into slag. He didn't have time to withdraw the move, so he could only pull the orb aside.

These two red pills were the magic weapons of his natal cultivation, and forcibly tearing them off like this made his heart tremble. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Shu Ziqian fell to his knees in despair.

The monster that held Shu Xiaoqin hostage was in great trouble, it did not hesitate, grabbed Shu Xiaoqin and fled into the distance.

When Ye Cong and Pan Ziming caught up, the monster had already crossed the empty house in the back village. In terms of speed alone, Ye Cong and Pan Ziming, two ordinary people, are far inferior to it.

Pan Ziming raised the divine light sword and took aim, and finally had no choice but to put down the sword. He, like Shu Ziqian, was afraid of hurting Xiaoqin.

Ye Cong had already helped Shu Ziqian up at this time, and the three men were furious with fire in their eyes.

"Chase!"

"Chase!"

These three big men were supposed to play a role in protecting everyone. Who would have expected that the operation would be as fierce as a tiger, but Xiaoqin was taken away by monsters. In addition to anger, there was also deep shame in the hearts of the three of them. Although the responsibility for this incident is not entirely on them, if something happens to Xiaoqin, none of them can forgive themselves.

At that moment, the three of them jumped into the bushes and followed the trail of the monster. As for whether this is another time when the monster is leaving the mountain, will the other monster take advantage of the departure of the three of them and attack the villagers again.

These concerns have been thrown out of the clouds by Shu Ziqian. It is his responsibility to protect the villagers, but Shu Xiaoqin is his family. He couldn't care about anything else.

The bushes are so leafy that you can't see far away. But the monster grabbed Xiaoqin and passed through it, and the traces left by the trampling were very obvious. Shu Ziqian and the three of them quickly passed through these traces, but behind the bushes were large rugged mountain forests.

The canopy of the tree is more than ten meters above the head, and there are only some fallen leaves and dead grass under the tree. The footprints here become less distinct, and you even need to lie on the ground to make them carefully.

After going back and forth, the speed of the trio tracking was much slower.

Ye Cong pulled out his own orald copper dagger. It stands to reason that if the monster didn't run far, the orichal should have sensed it. But there is no faint blue light on the dagger, which is very strange. But he didn't care about the reason for the time being, because Shu Ziqian on the side was about to explode.

Shu Ziqian was sweating profusely, he frantically pulled his hair and hit the tree with his head, looking very out of shape, and he couldn't see the appearance of a humble gentleman at all. His heart was stirred by the thought that Xiaoqin might have been eaten by the monsters by now, and the thought of her tears of pain and despair.

Ye Cong grabbed his shoulders and shouted at his face: "Shu Ziqian, calm down! Find a way! There will definitely be a way!"

It worked a little. Shu Ziqian is no longer crazy, but it is not much better. He closed his eyes tightly, his body trembled slightly, and it was probably impossible for him to make any constructive suggestions at this time.

"Lao Pan, is there any other way to hurry up?" Ye Cong asked.

Pan Ziming was lying on the ground to identify the footprints, which took a lot of time, and he knew that it was definitely too late. So he stood up and pinched his chin and said to himself:

"The instructor said that the tracks of the jungle are generally the key elements of footprints, excrement and water points, but in general, the tracker is certainly not as fast as the escapee. If the guy who escaped deliberately leaves some distractions, it will increase the search time exponentially. ”

There are many tactical courses for survival in the wilderness in the city defense army, and the instructors of Lu Ning were responsible for the classes at the beginning. Ye Cong and Pan Ziming both took this class, and after Pan Ziming's casual remarks, the two recalled the content of the original course.

The instructor also said at the beginning: "Be good at using tools, if you have a well-trained military dog, the search efficiency will be greatly improved." ”

The two of them recalled this sentence at the same time, but not to find a dog now, but:

The smell of blood!

Youkai were wounded in many places during the battle in the village. It was first attacked by Pan Ziming and cut off two claws, and then hit by Shu Ziqian's orb in the waist and abdomen. The youkai had already shed a lot of blood in the village, and although I don't know what method it used to leave no traces of blood, the smell of blood could not be concealed.

The two have been in the city defense army for many years, and the tricks of identifying smells are naturally not a problem.

Ye Cong rinsed his nasal cavity with the water in the kettle to make his nasal mucosa more acute. Then he closed his eyes and sniffed carefully at the place where the monster's footprints had disappeared, and sure enough, there was a slight pungent smell in the air.

"This way. He pointed in one direction.

The accuracy of this method is questionable, but it is certainly much faster than identifying footprints. Because footprints often disappear on hard ground, they have to be dispersed until the next footprint is found. This is one of the most time-consuming processes.

But at this time, Shu Ziqian stood up and looked a little ashamed.

"I'll come. ”

As he spoke, he used the true element in his body to strengthen his sense of smell. This is much more reliable than Ye Cong, the cultivator is so powerful and all-powerful.

The speed of the three increased again.

Shu Ziqian, as a cultivator, should have thought of this method a long time ago, but he cared about it and lost his mind completely. If it weren't for Ye Cong and Pan Ziming's active efforts to find a way, I don't know how long it would have been delayed.

Sure enough, the more critical the moment, the more you need to be calm.

The three of them chased forward for about half an hour, during which time they bypassed the broad-leaved forest on the mountainside and entered a chaotic stone forest with scattered wildflowers. The road here is extremely rugged, and Ye Cong and the others have no trouble keeping up with Shu Ziqian's footsteps.

Fortunately, there is less smell of grass and rain here, and the smell of blood is more obvious. They climbed over the ridgeline along the intermittent crevices in the stone forest to the other side of the mountain.

Ye Cong raised his eyes and looked out, and Siye was still a reckless mountain. According to Shu Ziqian, the fog barrier gives people a confused vision, and Pingchun Gang is actually not far away. But here, there is no trace of any man-made creation up to the skyline.

On the contrary, they could see the mountain spring on the way they came, they did not observe it carefully when they entered the village, and now they stood on a high place and looked at it, a winding path connected the spring water and Ningquan Village. It looks like it's where the villagers get water.

It's close to the monster's lair, and the smell of blood is almost close. No wonder Shu Ziqian couldn't find it when he searched the mountain twice, it turned out that this nest was not only in the other direction, but also on the other side of the mountain, quite far away from Ningquan Village.

This monster is also cautious, and every time it takes a long detour, it appears in the other direction of Ningquan. Shu Ziqian was misled into thinking that its nest was also in that direction.

The trio swooped with bated breath and soon found a cave hidden by vegetation. This nest is quite delicately camouflaged, and it is not so easy to spot.

But Xiaoqin's low whimper revealed this position.

The three of them crawled along the grass and saw Shu Xiaoqin tied to a stone from a distance. She was disheveled, and a piece of wood was stuffed in her mouth so that she would not scream too loudly.

But the three of them still came a little late, and although Shu Xiaoqin was not dead, she was definitely not unscathed. Her entire right arm was ripped off by a youkai. The severed arm was a blur of flesh and blood, revealing hideous wounds.

Shu Xiaoqin fell into a coma in pain, and then woke up in pain, and the cold sweat and tears fell down with tears. The world is hard, although Xiaoqin cannot be said to be pampered. But my brother has always loved him, and he hasn't said a few words.

Where had she ever suffered such a great sin?
