Mr. and Mrs. Cui looked at Hu Zhong silently. He lowered his head and stared at the ground with his old eyes. The people in Qingshan and the City Lord's Mansion felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
After almost pausing for a moment, Mr. Cui whispered to the Gale Bandit people to leave, and then the twenty or so people quietly retreated, naturally in the direction of Xiang Que's departure.
The two parties were relieved. Hu Chenglong licked his lips and asked the old housekeeper: "If he doesn't leave, who will win or lose?"
Hu Zhong said simply: "It's hard to say whether he will win or lose, but he will be trapped by me for a moment and can't leave. By then, the person he wants to kill has gone to who knows where. He can't weigh the pros and cons clearly.
What? Besides, they, the Gale Bandits, use money to do things, so if they kill extra irrelevant people like us, won’t they be panicked at the loss?"
Hu Chenglong then asked: "Then do you think Xiang Que can escape from the Cui couple's encirclement?"
Ji Chang, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and said, "How funny. If you can't run away, why would my master run out? After all...he is such a lazy person."
Maybe Xiang Que's three precious apprentices are the only ones who don't worry about his future situation, because for Ji Chang, Xiang An and Yuan Jue, although their master is not very familiar with him, they themselves are very fond of him.
But he was filled with an extremely blind sense of trust, and he had even become the belief of the three of them.
As for the fourth disciple Hetang, who has no sense of existence, he always has an expression of refusing to care about my business.
After Xiang Que left Qingshan and the people in the city lord's mansion, he plunged into the forest with his sword in hand. However, his escape route was very interesting. Xiang Que did not go out of the Taishan Cave at all, but went in the opposite direction deeper into the cave.
Went to the woods.
Among the people brought by Cui and his wife, there are at least three masters who are good at tracking traces. This is a necessary skill for the top ten bandits. After all, in the vast and vast Cave Heaven Paradise, you want to track the caravan.
Or any target, if there is nothing unique in tracing traces, it is basically like turning a blind eye.
So after Xiang Que left with his sword, Cui and his wife quickly locked onto the direction of his escape and accurately captured the clues and traces left by Xiang Que along the way.
"Chief, he must have gone deep into the mountains. He is about seven to eight miles away from us. If we pursue him with all our strength, we should be able to see him in less than two sticks of incense."
Mr. Cui nodded and said: "Lock it, hurry up and chase..."
Three sticks of incense have passed, and Xiang Que's figure is still nowhere to be seen, but the traces and clues left in the mountains are still there.
After another moment of burning the incense, Mr. Cui frowned and asked: "What's going on? Why hasn't the person shown up yet? Are you chasing in the right direction or wrong?"
The subordinate immediately nodded and said: "It's definitely true. Look at the marks left on the branches here. They were obviously cut by the sword energy when he passed by with his sword. I guess he may have also noticed our tracking. At the critical moment,
He always took pills to replenish qi and blood, and then quickly increased his movement speed. After all, previous news said that he had overdrawn his physical strength by taking pills at the Qingyun Ceremony, and finally jumped from Hedao to Wenshen. This shows that
The other party is very experienced in using medicine.”
Time passed quietly, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.
The people from Qingshan and the City Lord's Mansion immediately set off towards the east of Mount Tai. After all, two and a half days had passed, and they did not dare to delay in this area any longer. At the same time, Qingyun and others behind them also
In this way, Xiang Que was left alone in the mountains without any news.
At this time, the Gale Bandits, who had been following Xiang Que for most of the night, were repairing the area. Mr. Cui frowned deeply. The three trace tracking experts were still pointing to the traces on the ground and told him that there was no one there.
Zhuidi has always been in the mountains.
Anyway, there are still two days left. Mr. Cui really doesn’t believe that he, an expert in the out-of-body stage, can lead three virtual infants and twenty or so Wenshen, but he can’t catch up with him alone. This is definitely the biggest slippery slope in the world.
Ridiculous.
However, one day later, late at night, Mr. and Mrs. Cui's patience was gradually being worn away.
Because a whole day and night passed, their tracking was always in this state, that is, there were no traces and clues, but they could not see the other party's figure. Along the way, they discovered more than once
Xiang Que left behind a bottle of elixir, a kettle, and even a urine he peeed under a tree, but in the end he didn't even touch the corner of the other party's clothes.
It's like someone tying a bone with a rope to tease a pack of wolfdogs. I can let you smell it, but I won't give you a chance to bite it. As soon as the dog pounces on me, I'll pull the rope right away.
Then just chase.
Mr. and Mrs. Cui couldn't help but almost collapsed. The three tracking masters also had deep doubts about the fields they were good at. They even felt that their best tracking skills had failed in the past two days or so.
Have they all been used on dogs?
"Chief, why do I seem to have an illusion?" One of the men following him said hesitantly, with a very ugly look on his face.
"What an illusion, say"
"I feel like Xiang Que has been leading us around the corner. He has always been moving within this area, which is about a hundred miles in radius, and he has never left this area."
"Yes, sir, we have discovered it before. There are at least three places along the way that we have walked through a day ago. In other words, he led us back again, taking the same route we took before.
, the range is limited to about a hundred miles."
"In other words, we have been hunting hide and seek with him for two days?" Mr. Cui gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Now you remember?"
"Sir, we have been predicting that his physical strength will not be able to sustain it for such a long time, but his persistence seems to far exceed our expectations, but I think this situation will not last long." Three trace tracking experts said to
He glanced at it and said with great determination: "There is still one day at most.
, the time limit for him to stay in Taishan Cave is over, and we entered the mountain a few hours later than him, so even if we don't catch him, at least we can lock him firmly.
He will definitely have to come out of the mountain at that time, and if we chase him at that time, he will not be able to escape even if he has wings."
Mr. Cui said: "What you are saying is that we don't have to be too anxious now and hang him up. We will take action when he comes out of the mountain on his own, right?"
"Yes, rather than keep chasing like this, it's better to wait until he comes out of the mountain. After all, his time is about to run out!"
