The food was served quickly. Because they were thinking about the signal for help, Gu Yuan and the other three had no time to taste it carefully, so they ate it as quickly as possible.
After greeting the waiter to pay, the three of them followed the direction indicated by the little stone and headed northwest out of the city gate.
Not long after Gu Yuan and the others left the city, they encountered similar patterns and stones again.
"Hey, the difficulty has been upgraded. Let's go and have a look!"
"Eagle, look in this direction, we are going into the mountains."
"We must arrive at Mingyue Villa before noon the day after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise it will be too late!"
"There's no delay, it only takes two hours from here to Yunxiao City!"
"Okay, there are many trees in the mountains, so be careful."
Li Cheng, who was always cautious, took out his sword from his treasure bag.
"What are you afraid of?
Gu Yuan has already established the foundation, and with Gu Yuan here, you can put your heart into your belly!"
The little eagle became interested and pulled Gu Yuan and Li Cheng in the direction indicated by the small stone.
…
There are towering trees everywhere in the rolling green mountains, blocking out the sky and the sun.
The frowning Li Heizi squatted under a big tree with a few of his cronies.
They are all members of the Flying Eagle Guard, Guo Sheng, Xu Dapeng, Kong Zhanwu, Shen Xiaoshan, Shi Wenxuan, plus Li Heizi, a total of six people.
Li Heizi rubbed his face with his hands and sighed.
"Brother Song, do you think this method is useful?"
"It should be useful, right?
I haven’t tried it either.”
Li Heizi said with some uncertainty.
"Although Hengshan City is far away from Scarlet Flame City, it is a three-way intersection. Many big cities have to pass through here. There will definitely be disciples who are doing missions passing by."
"It's common for everyone to help each other when they go out. As long as someone sees our signal for help, they will come over."
"I'm just afraid that we won't meet the disciples who are passing by. If no one helps us, we will have to give up this mission and return to the True Fire Hall."
"To be honest, we would be embarrassed and disgraced. If anyone finds out, we will definitely not be able to hold our heads high in the Eagle Guard in the future."
"I said Brother Song, we shouldn't have..."
"Damn it, Li Heizi, why are you here?"
Amidst the exclamation of the little eagle, Li Heizi looked up.
Immediately afterwards, Li Heizi saw the little eagle, and his expression immediately changed.
Li Heizi never expected that his signal for help could actually bring the little eagle back.
This is true to the old saying, when you meet an old friend in a foreign country, you know your enemy!
The relationship between Li Heizi and Little Eagle has never been harmonious, and there have been several frictions between the two parties.
But now that they are out and about, everyone is from the same sect, and both of them are suppressing their anger and not taunting each other.
"Li Heizi, what are you doing here?
And even put up a sect call for help?
What's going on?"
Facing Little Eagle's question, Li Heizi hesitated for a moment and then said,
"We are hunting a fugitive, so we need your help."
The little eagle traveled for a long time and was a little thirsty. He took out the water hyacinth and took a sip and asked: "What fugitive is here?"
Aren't there six of you?
Still can’t catch him?”
Li Heizi was silent for a moment and said: "He is Zhuji..."
"What?
Ahem..." The little eagle who was drinking water was stunned and almost spit out a mouthful of water.
"Building a foundation?
Are you all so tough?
Do you dare to take on the task of building a foundation?"
Li Heizi said depressedly, "When we accepted the mission, he was still at the peak of his Qi training stage. Everyone was at the same level. There were many of us and we were not afraid of him. Who knew he could accidentally break through?
"
The little eagle said with some schadenfreude: "Then your ideas are too memorized. I guess I made you anxious and made a desperate move to advance."
Li Heizi sighed resignedly, and then said: "He is Zhuji, we can't defeat him, and even if he is seriously injured, we can't catch him back.
But if he wants to leave completely alone, that’s impossible.”
"To be honest, we have been tracking him for more than ten days, and we had no choice but to issue a request for help from the sect."
Kong Zhanwu, who was standing next to Li Heizi, explained: "Brother Song is not to blame for this. This mission is only a B-level mission, and the six of us took it together."
"Normally, we are six against one, and we can deal with a severely injured peak Qi refining person with ease. But we never expected that he could advance!"
"However, now that you have joined, this matter will be easier to handle. My senior brother Gu has also built a foundation now, so we don't have to be afraid of him!"
Unknowingly, Kong Zhanwu changed his address to Gu Yuan to Senior Brother Gu.
Even Li Heizi looked at Gu Yuan with envy.
Little Eagle nodded and said: "That's right. Gu Yuan has established the foundation, so we don't need to worry about so much. Let's get started!"
After saying that, the little eagle rubbed his hands and was about to show off his skills, but saw that Li Heizi and others were standing still.
"What are you still doing?
Where are people?
Hurry up and copy the guy, let's all do it together."
"Wu Ying, don't worry yet. Listen to what I'm telling you. The fugitive's name is Baron, and we have already blocked him in a cave!"
"Isn't that just catching a turtle in a urn?
Let’s go together if there are more of us!”
"Having said that, Nabalon holds a magic weapon that can shoot fine needles. Once fired, the sky will be filled with fine needles. We don't dare to rush in!"
"Fortunately, there are restrictions on that magical weapon, and Balon is reluctant to use it."
"Last night in the middle of the night, Balon broke out and was forced back into the cave by us, but he was not willing to use the fine needle.
I suspect that the fine needle has only one chance left, so he is reluctant to use it."
"Because we were worried that he would set a trap in the cave, we didn't dare to rush into the cave. We originally planned to go in and catch him during the day, but we didn't expect that overnight, he actually succeeded in building a foundation!"
"No, what were you doing while he was building the foundation?
Just watch him succeed in building the foundation?"
“We really didn’t expect it at first, but later we realized something was wrong when it was already too late.
If we rushed in forcefully, he would definitely attack us with that fine needle, so we didn't dare to act rashly."
"However, we estimate that he will break through at midnight today."
"It's almost dark now, and there are still a few hours before midnight. We have set up several traps near the entrance of the cave. With your participation, we should be able to catch him."
The little eagle said nothing, turned to look at Gu Yuan, who frowned and asked: "Why do you think he will break out in the middle of the night?
Couldn't he have broken out at another time?"
Li Heizi glanced at Gu Yuan and said: "This Balong practices evil skills, and his cultivation can reach its peak at midnight every day! So I guess he will definitely choose the hour to break out."
