There are actually two groups of people following Bai Qi and the others. One group of people are the confidants of Zheng Tianci from the 11th Peak of the Yunfu Sect, and the other group of people are the subordinates of the new island owner Ni Hong.
Neon's men came down with three people, but they didn't all go into the mountain, but left one at the foot of the mountain.
He waited not long before news came that Xia Yu was walking towards the top of the mountain. So the man quickly passed the news back to the island owner's mansion.
Zheng Tianci's confidants do not have this condition, because Zheng Tianci, Zheng Baixing and others are still a long way from Jin'ao Island, so it is difficult for the news to be delivered in time.
But these people still recorded everything they saw during the follow-up.
Island Lord's Mansion.
Neon received the message from his subordinates, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
That mountain is the largest mountain range on the island. Before Xia Yu came back, she had already led people to search it many times.
But found nothing.
If an ordinary person were to search such a large mountain, there would definitely be something missing. But Nihong and others are extraordinary beings, and their realms are not low. If Xia Wuyan hid a treasure in the mountain, it would definitely be found.
Of course, if you just hide a mortal object in the mountains, it is normal that you cannot find it because there is no fluctuation of spiritual energy.
It's possible that the mortal things recorded Xia Wuyan's secrets. Therefore, Nihong thought about it, then ran to the back house and asked the master to accompany him to the mountains.
"You, how do you look like the owner of the island? It's not okay to be so restless all the time."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but smile, she was a very filial apprentice with good qualifications, but he seemed a bit impetuous in his behavior.
After saying that, Liu Ruyan took out a palm-sized wooden sculpture, and then began to cast a spell on the wooden sculpture. The surface of the wooden sculpture glowed with green light, and then turned into a small and exquisite beast.
The exquisite beast seemed to be alive, and it actually let out a burst of screams.
"Go and stare at Xia Yu."
Liu Ruyan pointed to the mountains in the distance, and then threw the exquisite beast into the air.
The exquisite beast turned into a stream of light, and it disappeared in a flash, and soon came to the foot of the mountain. This little guy was very smart, and his eyes moved around, and he stared at a hare that was foraging in the grass. p>
I saw it pounced forward and fell on the hare.
The hare seemed to be very scared, trembling all over, but did not dare to move. The body of the exquisite beast gradually became illusory, and soon it got into the body of the hare and disappeared.
The hare let out a long breath, and his eyes changed a lot, seeming to have more spirituality.
The Linglong Beast forcibly seized the hare's body, and after a while it got used to it, then jumped into the forest and ran towards Xia Yu and others.
Island Lord's Mansion.
Liu Ruyan stretched out her hand and drew a circle in front of her. The water rippled in the circle, and then she saw various scenes in the forest with the help of the "hare's" eyes.
"Master, your magic is so amazing!"
This is Liu Ruyan's unique skill. Neon has only seen it once before. She will still be shocked when she sees the master's spell again.
It's a pity that the master said that Neon's cultivation was not enough and did not pass on this surgical method to her.
Neon's eyes are full of envy.
"What's that expression on your face? Keep an eye on it and don't think too much. Silly disciple, my master's skills will be passed on to you in the future. What do you have to envy?"
Liu Ruyan reached out and tapped Neon's forehead lightly, asking her to focus on the picture and not be distracted.
Neon said "Oh" and really didn't dare to be distracted anymore.
Bai Qi, Zhehua and Xia Yu slowly walked to the heights of the mountains. There was a thick and tall ancient tree there, which seemed to be a hundred feet high.
"King, I'll go up and have a look."
Zhehua volunteered and wanted to take a look at the top of the tree.
This big tree has so many branches and leaves that you can’t even see the top of the tree when you stand under it.
"I'll go ahead, Zhehua, please be careful."
Bai Qi shook his head, not wanting Zhehua to take risks.
The current situation is that the three of them may encounter accidents at any time. The big tree is convenient for enemies to hide. Who knows if there will be an ambush up there?
"Brother Bai Qi, let's go up together."
Xia Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
At the same time, she winked at Bai Qi, implying that the other party had better listen to her.
Bai Qi nodded, so one person and two demons took off into the air and went straight to the top of the big tree. When they reached the top of the big tree, they really found a bird's nest.
There was no robin or other bird in the nest, but there was a white egg.
The egg was very large, about the same size as a baby's head. There was a look of disappointment in Orihua's eyes. Needless to say, this egg couldn't be a robin's egg, because a robin's egg was about the same size as a chicken's egg. Bai Qi thought so too, but Xia Yu seemed to be possessed, staring straight at the white bird egg with an uncertain expression on her face.
An idea flashed through her mind before, but it was a pity that she didn't catch it. But when she saw this bird egg, some fragments deep in her memory suddenly appeared.
......
"Xiaoyu, when dad is free, he will not only help you catch a robin, but he may even bring the robin's eggs in a pot. The robin you saw hatched with your own eyes will be more spiritual. You are definitely a fool.
A good helper."
"Father, how could it be such a coincidence that when you go to catch a robin, there happen to be eggs in the bird's nest? I'm not greedy. The robin you catch can be slowly domesticated."
"Haha, you actually think so? This is not like my daughter. Xiaoyu, remember, bird eggs are good things. When you bring them back, you must try your best to make them hatch. You may have unexpected surprises."
......
Xia Yu recalled a conversation between father and daughter. Xia Wuyan seemed to have a special liking for bird eggs.
Combined with all the things she encountered during this period, she wondered in her mind whether this bird egg was specially left for her by her father?
So, she turned her head and relied on the contractual relationship to send a voice message to Bai Qi from the bottom of her heart and expressed her suspicions.
She suspected that the egg contained her father's secret.
"Huh?"
Bai Qi looked at the bird egg again, and at the same time activated the pupil technique [Breaking Delusion].
Under his intense gaze, there was nothing unusual about this bird's egg. It was just an ordinary bird's egg. This also happened to show that there was nothing worth paying attention to in this area, otherwise the bird's egg would have been gone long ago.<
/p>
After Xia Wuyan disappeared, the entire Jin'ao Island was searched over and over, including this area.
If there is a problem with the egg, it would have been discovered long ago. If there is no problem, then the egg may have appeared recently. I have never heard that it takes several years for any kind of bird to hatch an egg.
"Put it away first."
Although Bai Qi didn't see the problem, he still asked Xia Yu to use the monster bag to collect the egg.
Then, one person and two demons fell from the top of the tree to the ground.
None of the stalkers, including Linglong Beast, dared to go up the tree for fear of being discovered by Xia Yu and others. Moreover, the other party's behavior so far has been normal. It is normal for Xia Yu to go to the bird's nest on the top of the tree to search for a new bird. Xia Yu and Bai Qi shook their heads after folding the flowers.
"There are no traces of robins in this tree. Let's go look elsewhere."
Do a full show, especially if someone is following you.
Regardless of whether the bird egg hid a mystery or not, it could not arouse the suspicion of the stalker now. So one person and two demons continued to search on the mountain, and did not return to their residence until evening.
Regarding Xia Yu’s movements today, everyone who is interested has received the news.
Especially Liu Ruyan and Neon, with the magical power of Linglong Beast, they almost saw every move of Xia Yu and others with their own eyes. There is no doubt that the other party is looking for the robin.
At night.
The three people gathered in Bai Qi's quiet room and began to study the bird egg carefully.
After a night, it was Zhehua who first discovered the abnormality. According to her judgment, the egg showed no signs of life at all and was a dead egg.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qi also discovered a problem, that is, the bird egg had been away from the mother's body for at least more than a year, but the specific length of time could not be determined.
Xia Yu tried to use violence to crack the egg, but ordinary power couldn't do anything to it, and the opponent was like a stone.
"There is indeed something abnormal about this bird egg. Why hasn't it been discovered before?"
Zhehua watched Xia Yu work there for a long time, but got nothing at all, so she took Xia Yu to sit down and rest for a while.
Then, she asked a key question.
"Ordinary people can't climb to the top of the tree. Extraordinary people may have searched that area, but no one would be interested in an ordinary bird egg, let alone a dead egg."
Bai Qi shook his head and thought, if this is what Xia Wuyan left behind, then the other party is really amazing.
This thing is right under everyone's nose. Any extraordinary person can see it just by climbing up the big tree, but in the end, it was preserved safely.
Of course, it could also be Xia Yu's illusion. This bird egg has nothing to do with Xia Wuyan at all.
Xia Yu sat on a chair, drank water, and tried desperately to recall what her father had said, but to no avail.
"Xiao Yu, the skills you practiced before were family skills. Did your father teach you some methods of sealing and releasing seals? If this bird egg hides a secret that we can't see through, maybe it was used
Special sealing technique."
Bai Qi didn't know what to do. It was definitely not a good idea to completely destroy the eggs, but he couldn't find any clues.
He assumed that this bird egg was left by Xia Wuyan to his daughter, and at the same time, he used unknown means to cover up all traces, so perhaps only the father and daughter would understand the method of removing it.
Therefore, he looked at Xia Yu and asked.
When Xia Yu heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then she stood up suddenly, ran to the egg, took out a knife and cut the fingers of her left hand, and blood dripped on the surface of the egg. p>
Bai Qi had already taken precautions before, so even a powerful person who transformed himself into a god could not spy on everything that happened in this small courtyard. But for the sake of safety, he immediately took out eight magic swords and used the sword array to protect his body.
