Leave dry food and water for Xu Xiang. The four of them set off north.

It will take at least half a day from the mountain where Xu Xiang is currently located to the mountainside opposite. Even if he can recover it successfully, he will not borrow it. The four of them have already gone far.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. Not seeing Lin Lan can guarantee that the motives of the four people entering the mountain will not be known to outsiders. However, if Lin Lan does not have the ability to find out the news of Lingshan. Lin Lan used a lot of things to exchange Lu Wu's inner elixir, among which was Huohuanbu. Only Firewall Mountain is produced. Lin Lan has Huohuanbu, which means that he may have been to Lingshan. If Lin Lan is willing to inform everyone of the situation of Lingshan, everyone will save a lot of trouble.

Wu Dongfang naturally considered this. There were three reasons why he did not meet Lin Lan. First, for safety reasons. He and Lin Lan only had a transaction once. They were not familiar with each other. They were not friends. They had to prevent Lin Lan from becoming greedy and summoning their helpers to plot against them.

Another consideration is to delay time. Before leaving, he had already agreed with the prince to leave the mountain and stay in the mountain for fifty to sixty days. But now only seven days have passed. If Lin Lan was not bad, he also told them about the situation in Lingshan. There was no way to go slowly and go back slowly.

The last consideration is more profound. That is the relationship between natives and foreign wizards. Foreign wizards and native wizards are hostile to each other. He has no good impression of those foreign wizards who hide in the mountains when they die. He does not want to have too much interaction with them. Instead, he can consider cooperating with native wizards. Yu Gong. Indigenous wizards are the masters here. Foreign wizards are uninvited villains. Indigenous wizards should be more familiar with Lingshan. Working with them can get more detailed information. In addition, he is also very interested in the magic of these native wizards. Practice should not be the privilege of some nobles. The door to practice should be opened to everyone.

I think this is how it is. It is hard to say whether I can do this. After all, for the indigenous wizards, they are also foreign wizards. They are plunderers who cut off inner alchemy and dig up spiritual objects. If they encounter the indigenous wizards, the other party is unlikely to show a friendly attitude towards them.

When Wu Dongfang was plundering north, he kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind. He thought carefully before encountering things. He would not be in a hurry when things were about to come.

Since Kunlun Mountain was not exactly the same area as the modern Kunlun Mountains at this time, he couldn't figure out where the four people were at the moment. However, according to the prince, it was three thousand miles from the dragon claw to the dragon head. It was estimated that the four people had previously flew away. Combined with the current speed of the four people, Wu Dongfang made a general judgment. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to reach the dragon head area of ​​Kunlun Mountain at noon tomorrow.

At this time, Kunlun Mountain was a closed area. There were many strange beasts, birds and insects inside. It was much more dangerous than outside. But there was no scene of demons dancing in the mountains. For example, the carnivorous sheep and brain-eating bees brought out by Lu Wu were rare in the mountains. The four of them flew in the air again. Therefore, they rarely encountered obstacles on the road.

It was nine o'clock in the evening. The four of them settled down again to rest. Wu Dongfang, as usual, condensed out four dirt houses. The four of them lived in a room and sat cross-legged.

Wu Dongfang already had Taixuan cultivation at this time. Qi training became optional for him. He moved to sleep first after a few weeks of Qi.

It was two o'clock in the second half of the night. Wu Dongfang heard the slight sound of footsteps. After listening carefully, he found that the sound of footsteps was not an outsider. Xunshuang, who lived next door. For some reason, Xunshuang walked very slowly. He was obviously approaching his room.

There was doubt in his heart. Wu Dongfang turned over and sat up. The four people's rooms were close to each other. It didn't take long for Xunshuang to walk to his door. Seeing that he had sat up, he waved to him.

Wu Dongfang walked out of the ground wearing shoes and walked out.

Xunshuang made a gesture of silence. He walked north with Wu Dong. He walked to the front of a cluster of shrubs in front of the house and squatted down. He raised his hand and pointed at the northwest mountain.

Following Xunshuang's pointing, Wu Dongfang looked northwest. He did not sense the aura of an alien, nor did he see any abnormal situation.

"Five miles away, a white night owl squatted on the big locust tree on the mountainside." Xunshuang whispered.

"There are some things in the mountains." Wu Dongfang yawned. The night owl that Xunshuang mentioned is the current owl. There is indeed an owl squatting on the tree. It is white. However, it has no spiritual cultivation and is not big. Its fur color is quite special.

"Look at its left claw." Xunshuang said.

Wu Dongfang was not able to see the owl's left claw, his head was tilted, and he tried to see it more clearly.

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

When Wu Dongfang heard this, he filled the speed and slowly tilted his head. He tilted his head at the right angle. He saw the owl's left claw. There was a small yellow copper ring on the owl's left claw.

Having a copper ring means that the owl has a master. A master's owl stayed around the four-person camp. It is very likely that he was spying on the four people.

"It stayed on the tree for more than half an hour. It had never cried or moved." Xunshuang looked directly at the owl in the distance.

"Don't disturb it for the time being." Wu Dongfang said.

"What should I do?" Xunshuang asked in a low voice.

Although the two were talking in a low voice, Xin Tong and Fei Xuan still heard the sound. They did not come out recklessly. Instead, they whispered in the room to ask what was wrong.

"There is a domesticated owl peeking in the distance. Don't come out so as not to be discovered by it." Wu Dongfang said.

After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the three of them did not respond. After considering it, Wu Dongfang spoke again. "You keep resting. I'll stare. It will leave sooner or later. Then I will follow it and see who is spying on us."

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

Wu Dongfang looked back at Xunshuang. Xunshuang was very alert. In today's words, his nerves were always tense. In addition, Xunshuang was also very careful. He handed in water beads just in case. In case he was in danger on the way to follow the owl. He could summon three people to help.

After Xunshuang entered the house, Wu Dongfang withdrew his gaze and stared at the owl with the cover of the bushes. The possibility of the owl appearing here by chance is not high. It should be someone who was assigned to monitor them. But there is no way to infer who the owner of the owl is. They do not belong here. After entering the mountain, there was a lot of noise. Every person in the mountain and every beast that became a spirit has a reason to monitor them.

Although it was summer, it was still very cold in the second half of the night. The mountains were humid and began to fog in the early morning. Just when it was dawn, the owl flew up without warning and flew westward against the treetops.

"It flew away. I'll go and see. Please be careful." Wu Dongfang greeted the three of them and sent them to escape afterwards. The others could not hide their whereabouts when they moved. This is the reason why the three of them could not go together.

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

Two hundred miles later, the owl stopped from a big tree. There were no villages or caves around the big tree where it was located. It belonged to an unmanned area.

Staying on the tree for more than ten minutes, the owl rushed down from the tree and caught a rat that was returning to the nest. He returned to the tree and started to tear it. But although the guy teared it, he didn't swallow it. A rat was torn to pieces by it.

Wu Dongfang took out the wine jar and drank to keep warm. It took the owl to waste the mouse for more than ten minutes. After dismembering the mouse, the guy squatted on the tree and stopped moving.

There is no nest or owl feces in the big tree where it is located.

Just as Wu Dongfang gradually lost his patience, the owl flapped his wings and flew westward again. At this time, the sky was already seven minutes brighter. The fog in the mountains was heavier. Wu Dongfang shortened the distance to follow and always followed within two miles of the owl.

The owl flew westward without pausing in the middle of the journey. It flew for two hours. It was 8 o'clock in the morning. It was still flying westward. It estimated the distance. It had been following for nearly a thousand miles.

Wu Dongfang began to wonder. The owl and its owner should not live so far. This place is thousands of miles away from where the four of them settled. What is the need for the owl owner to send the owl to observe the situation thousands of miles away?

At this moment, a large-sized falcon appeared in the distance, located above the owl. The owl did not notice the arrival of danger and was still flying west slowly.

The eagle above adjusted its direction and dived rapidly. It grabbed the owl from the air. Seeing this, Wu Dongfang hurriedly sent a coexistence to the heaven and earth. He chased after him and grabbed the owl before the eagle below the eagle.

The hawk flew away in a panic. Wu Dongfang frowned and looked at the owl in his hand. There were two scratches on the owl's wings and back. Neither of these two wounds were fatal. But strangely, the owl had died at this time.

He clearly saw that the falcon just grabbed it and did not peck it. How could the owl suddenly die?

He shook his wings. The owl's head drooped. It was really dead. It was not pretending to be dead.

Wu Dongfang cursed inwardly. After following for most of the day, he ran thousands of miles and finally worked in vain.

The dead owl must not lead the way. Wu Dongfang took off the copper ring on its feet and was about to throw away the owl's corpse. Suddenly, he found that its left claw had a broken skin. The broken skin was exactly the part where the copper ring was previously wrapped.

Let’s look at the copper ring in my hand. It is an extremely ordinary copper ring without any marks. The style of this copper ring is a bit similar to the movable gold ring worn by rural women. It is not covered or wrapped.

This situation shows that the copper ring on the owl's claws is probably just wrapped up recently. It is a little tightly wrapped and it is worn out during flight.

Wu Dongfang vaguely felt that something was wrong. The owl was white. White owl was rare. It was easy for them to be noticed by them when they sent it to spy on the situation. But this person seemed to be afraid that they would not be suspicious. He also wrapped a copper ring around the owl's claws. This was not to spy on the situation. This was clearly to attract attention.
