After the firewood was piled up, Li Xuan ran to the room and went to sleep. It was a small and humid room, and the bed also had a musty smell. However, Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to this and fell asleep quickly.
At midnight, a "squeaking" sound woke up Li Xuan. The ghost was like a puppy that had made great achievements, pawing at the edge of Li Xuan's bed, and saliva flowed from his mouth.
"found it?"
Li Xuan stretched out. He hadn't had a good rest recently. This half night was the best sleep he had in a month.
The ghost danced and chirped. Li Xuan frowned slightly: "They are hiding in such a hidden place. Fortunately, a shadow seed was placed on them, otherwise it would be difficult to track them."
As usual, Li Xuan rewarded the ghost with a large ball of shadow spiritual power. Li Xuan took a new set of clothes from the ring space, put them on, and then quietly left the room.
Passing by Liu Li's bedroom, Li Xuan heard thunderous snoring. Fortunately, he had just fallen into a deep sleep, otherwise he would have been so noisy all night that he could not sleep.
After walking out of Liu Li's house and out of the town to find a flat open space, Li Xuan took out the whistle that summoned the six-winged flying dragon and blew it.
"Flop, flutter", a huge shadow enveloped Li Xuan, and the six-winged flying dragon fell from the sky and landed in the open space.
Li Xuan turned over and jumped on the back of the six-winged flying dragon, pulled the feathers on its neck and shouted: "Let's go, let's save that unfortunate master craftsman."
The six-winged flying dragon neighed and soared into the sky. Under Li Xuan's instructions, it crossed the hillsides and jungles and headed straight for the mountains hundreds of miles away.
Following the scent of the Shadow Seed and the clues provided by the ghost, Li Xuan searched all the way until the six-winged flying dragon was panting from exhaustion and finally landed on a hill.
There were several strange traces on the grass mat on the hill. Li Xuan summoned the ghost from the alien space, pointed to the traces on the ground and asked him: "Are these the traces left by the strange cars you mentioned?"
The ghost jumped a few times and nodded repeatedly.
The ghost's report mentioned a strange car that could speed through rugged mountain roads and dense jungles.
It was precisely because of the speed of that strange car that the barbarians were able to run so far in half a day. It was no wonder that the people in Liming Town couldn't catch up.
"The barbarians really have a lot of fantastic ideas."
Li Xuan looked at the deep marks left by the strange cars on the straw mat and thought to himself.
This black-handed musketry group is well-trained, has many masters, and also has strange vehicles and artillery. Even though Li Xuan is very confident in his own strength, he is also secretly vigilant.
Who knows what weird inventions the barbarians will come up with. If Ding Tiechui cannot be rescued and then he gets caught in it, it will be a waste.
The ghost led the way, and Li Xuan followed. Two figures, a small one and a large one, shuttled through the mountains and forests. When they came to the hinterland of a valley, the ghost stopped.
Li Xuan also realized that if he went further, it would be the territory of the Black Hand Musketeers. There might be many ambushes and sentries, so he had to be extra careful every step he took.
After taking the ghost into a different space and taking another invisible pill, Li Xuan cautiously entered the valley.
This is a seemingly peaceful place, but in fact, the real dangers are hidden in seemingly safe places.
For example, in the grass in front of Li Xuan, there is a metal wire that is thinner than a hair. If it is accidentally touched, it will pull the nearby mechanisms, volley barbs, large nets, steel nails, or even muskets, and all kinds of terrible things.
Attacks are coming one after another, and even if you have three heads and six arms, you will probably lose your life here.
Fortunately, Li Xuan released some of the power of his soul and was able to discover these delicate mechanisms. He easily bypassed the metal wire, dodged two deep traps and three hidden whistles, and then passed through a dangerous environment.
Mine array, finally saw a cave entrance hidden behind a boulder.
There were six barbarians with live ammunition at the entrance of the cave. They were watching the surrounding disturbances with sharp eyes, and the long-barreled muskets in their hands might shoot deadly steel bullets at any time.
"This is not easy to get into."
Although Li Xuan used the invisible pill to cover his figure, Li Xuan was not an invisible wind that could be blown into the hole with just a "whisk".
There is an iron gate behind the six barbarians. Unless Li Xuan turns into a bee, there is no way he can sneak in quietly.
Li Xuan didn't want to alert the enemy, lest the Blackhand Musketeers do something terrible to Ding Tiechui, so he could only wait patiently.
He didn't know how long he had waited, but just when the invisible pill was about to expire, Li Xuan suddenly heard a "bang" sound coming from the iron door.
He immediately approached quickly and saw six barbarians making way for a passage, as if they were going to welcome someone out.
Li Xuan didn't want to let go of this rare opportunity. He was as slippery as a loach, leaning sideways against the edge of the boulder, and nudged behind the barbarians little by little.
There was only about fifty centimeters between the two sides, and Li Xuan could even smell the scent emanating from the barbarians. Fortunately, he had held his breath long ago, otherwise he might have been discovered.
"Gala la..." After a sound of chains sliding, the iron door opened, and several barbarians came out and embraced the barbarians guarding the door warmly.
It was the first time that Li Xuan fell in love with the warm etiquette of the barbarians, because he took advantage of this opportunity and rushed through the door, leaving only a breeze blowing in his face.
"Hmm, am I dazzled? I seem to have seen someone come in."
A barbarian asked his companion in confusion.
"Have you been drinking?"
The companion joked, "There are a large group of us here, how could anyone sneak in?"
The other barbarians also laughed loudly, and the "dazzled" barbarian could only mutter a few words and never mentioned the matter again.
"Huh..." After entering the iron gate, Li Xuan let out a long breath. It was only then that he realized that spying was not an easy profession. One must have enough patience and a steel-like spirit to be competent.
Fortunately, Li Xuan has already sneaked in. As for how to get out after rescuing people later, he hasn't figured it out yet. In short, he just needs to take it one step at a time.
Behind the iron gate is a huge cave, with a huge lamp hanging on the ceiling. The light spreads freely to every corner of the huge cave, leaving almost no shadow.
Li Xuan quickly replenished another invisible pill. One of these precious props was missing, and he was almost out of stock.
Although too bright a place is not conducive to movement, the good news is that the number of traps in the cave is significantly less, probably because they are afraid of affecting the actions of their own people. Except for some checkpoints in key places, there are almost no traps that require special attention.
