Yu'er didn't let them wait too long. Only one day later, Xiao Zhao was kidnapped by two masked men in black in front of everyone.
The guards in the dark immediately followed, and Zhuang Yizhe immediately went back to report the news.
In order to prevent any loss of recurrence, Xiao Zhao carried a secret spice in the Western Regions called Lingdie Yin. This spice has a special smell and cannot be distinguished by human noses, but the ghost-faced butterfly will come in search of the fragrance.
Xiao Ruo knew very well that eggs could not be placed in one basket, so she even asked Xiao Zhao to carry fluorescent powder.
If the kidnappers did not make Xiao Zhao unconscious, Xiao Zhao would sprinkle fluorescent powder along the way. The fine powder that could not be seen during the day could emit a bright green light under the night to guide the direction.
Xiao Zhao was tied up on the way to school. It was still early, and Prince An and Xiao's family immediately released the ghost-faced butterfly as soon as they got the news.
Two small lilac butterflies lingered in place for a while, and flew towards the south.
In order not to disturb others, there were only Xiao Ruo, Xiao Xun, Jiang Ping and Prince An who followed the ghost faced butterfly on the surface.
The ghost-faced butterfly rose and fell, left and right, and the speed of flying was only a little faster than that of ordinary people walking. When the group chased the butterfly out of the city, the sky was already dark ink.
When we arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, the butterfly suddenly stopped and circled around the bushes.
Xiaoxun used his sword to push the bushes away, and indeed found a purse containing spices inside.
"It seems they have discovered the smell of Zhaozhao."
Picking up the purse, Xiao Xun glanced at the surroundings, and no other strange traces were found.
Jiang Ping walked to him, took the purse and observed carefully, and saw a small piece of the edge of the purse, which was soaked by unknown liquid slightly darker in the color, and there was a small hole in the middle, as if it had been pierced by something.
Put it under your nose and smell it, but you can't smell anything except the smell of spices.
"Axun, Brother Jiang, have you found anything?"
There was no village at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and there was silence everywhere. Xiao Ruo's soft inquiries seemed to have been expanded several times in the dark night.
Xiao Xun and Jiang Ping returned to Xiao Ruo, shook their heads and handed her the purse.
Xiao Ruo, who was holding the purse, seemed to be burned by flames in her heart. She regretted why she promised Xiao Zhao to take risks. If Xiao Zhao had anything to do, how could she explain to the parents of the Xiao family...
The unique touch of the purse in her hand suddenly made her inspire. The thumb and index finger rubbed each other, and a subtle sense of stickiness came from her fingers...
I raised my purse and looked closely. It turned out that the hole I had pierced through had shrunk under her tightness. Only the chaotic lattice of satin showed that it had been penetrated by external forces.
Realizing that Xiao Ruo's expression was wrong, Xiao Xun asked, "What's wrong with Ruo Ruo? Is there any problem?"
Without even answering Xiao Xun's question, Xiao Ruo simply put his fingers that had pinched his purse and licked them on the tip of his tongue.
The slight odor, a bit like a hard persimmon, is indeed this!
Xiao Ruo's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Sauce Bean Tree! Look for any nearby soap bean trees!"
Lifting the purse, pointing to the dark mark, "This is caused by the sap of the purse, which is tied to the thorns of the purse, stained with the juice, so they must have passed by a sap tree.
!”
When everyone heard this, they immediately scattered and searched for the soapberry tree that Xiao Ruo mentioned.
The soapcorn tree is tall and stout, and is extremely eye-catching in the jungle of trees that have not yet sprouted. Not long after, Jiangping found a large soapcorn tree in Shanyin that needs several people to surround it.
"Here!" Jiang Ping pointed to a broken thorn at his waist and said, "Miss Ruo Ruo, look at this."
He bent down to the front of Broken Thorn, and the fresh plant juice filled Xiao Ruo's nasal cavity, "It's this! Please search everywhere to see if there are any new clues."
Soon, more than ten meters next to the soapcorn tree, the faint fluorescence attracted everyone's attention. It was the phosphor that Xiao Ruo asked Xiao Zhao to bring with him before!
The place where the phosphor is scattered is covered with large areas of dry and scattered rattan. The normal growth of rattan is wrapped around parasitic trees and climbs upwards. The rattan is thick and abrupt, as if it is covering something.
Prince An waved his hand, and four flying fish guards flashed out of the darkness, pulling all the rattans open with their hands and feet, revealing a cave half a person high.
The deep and narrow hole looks like the mouth of an elderly giant beast with its teeth falling, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.
All the clues point to this cave. Even if you know there is a trap inside, Xiao Ruo must go in.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on inside. I'll go in first, you're here to wait for my signal."
After saying that, she bent down and went into the hole, and walked two or three steps, and felt that there were two people behind her who followed her.
The entrance of the cave was small, allowing only one person to arch forward, and he could not turn around at all, but from the familiar sounds of footsteps and breathing, she could determine that one of the people behind her was Xiao Xun.
"Ah Xun, why are you here? Didn't you let you wait outside?" She could only grop in the darkness and asked while moving forward.
Sure enough, Xiao Xun's voice came from behind, "I'm not at ease, and with Brother Jiang and I, even if there is danger, I will have more strength to deal with it."
His voice sounded low in the cave, making Xiao Ruo's tense heart inexplicably wrapped in a sense of security.
Jiang Ping's voice rang behind him: "Miss Ruo Ruo, be careful, now snakes, insects, rats and ants are hibernating, don't step on it and slip on it."
Xiaoyu: ...
It was not so much a cave, but rather a tunnel. The three of them walked in the dark for about a quarter of an hour before they felt that the space around them had expanded, from bent down to gradually being able to walk upright.
As she moved forward, Xiao Ruo felt that a ray of cool breeze had been brushing her cheeks in front, which meant that this tunnel was not a dead end. This was also the reason why she dared to keep moving forward. As long as there was air circulation, there was no need to be afraid of it.
There is a risk of suffocation.
When his left and right hands were straightened and he couldn't touch the hole walls on both sides, Xiao Ruo stopped and asked, "Do you have anything to bring lighting?"
I just came in in a hurry, and I was not sure about the oxygen content in the cave, so I was afraid that combustion would accelerate oxygen consumption, so I did not bring lighting tools such as torches or wind lamps.
Jiang Ping nodded subconsciously, immediately realized that they could not see his movements, and answered, "I'm so angry."
As he said that, he took out a portable, folded into the size of a palm from his arms, and skillfully assembled into a square hand-held wind light in the dark, but when he wanted to take out the fire, he fumbled it all but didn't touch it.
Go to that small bamboo tube.
Maybe I just fell into the hole in the dark and kept bent over, and the fire broke out.
He turned his head, estimated the general direction, and asked, "Is your fire note still there? Mine seems to have dropped..."
Before Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun could answer, a strange laugh came from the depths of the cave, "Geeh... What kind of fire note do you want? I'll order it for you..."
