At this time, Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan had passed a hundred meters, but the entire jungle was too quiet, with only rags and sunlight shining.
"That's not right. Uncle Meng came from this direction just now. I saw him stop on this tree with my own eyes, break off two branches and shoot out. Previously, when the tribesmen fought with the leopards, they would definitely leave traces, but here...
"
Zhuo Mufeng landed on the trunk of a big tree and looked forward. However, wherever he could see, there were no traces of a fight.
Wu Yuanyuan stood beside her and said hesitantly: "Maybe they cleaned up the scene."
Zhuo Mufeng: "Even if the scene was cleaned up, this is not the hometown of the tribal people. How could it be possible to be so careful and not leave any traces? I remember when Uncle Meng returned just now, he said that the tribal people had seen blood, and this place was terrible.
Is there blood?”
As a matter of fact, after the battle, the tribesmen would at most carry away the leopard's body and take away the weapons as well, because they were trophies and equipment.
Who would have enough to eat and have nothing to do to restore the scene to its original state?
To put it bluntly, if you really want to do that, but in such a short period of time and under the noses of Zhuo Mufeng and the others, how can this be done by the tribesmen?
Obviously, Wu Yuanyuan also thought of this. Looking at the dark and towering jungle around her, it was quiet all around. Even the wind was no longer blowing, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
The eldest lady's face turned a little pale, and she quietly approached Zhuo Mufeng: "What on earth is going on?"
Zhuo Mufeng secretly used his skills to the extreme, always alert to the surroundings, and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, we all heard the screams and archery sounds of the tribesmen, right?"
Wu Yuanyuan nodded.
"Later, Uncle Meng took action from the front and shot two leopards, solving the crisis... Wait, Miss, I suddenly discovered that it seemed that just when the leopards were killed and Uncle Meng returned, all the movement suddenly disappeared.
. Logically speaking, the distance is closer than it was at the beginning, so we can hear the actions of the tribesmen."
Wu Yuanyuan recalled the previous situation. Because her sensitive area was touched, she was bent on settling the score with Zhuo Mufeng and did not pay attention to anything else. But as Zhuo Mufeng said, with her skills, no matter how distracted she was, she would not be able to make any movement.
Can't even hear it.
But indeed, when Meng Jiuxiao returned, there was no sound at all.
Those tribal people seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. Looking at the scene in front of them, there was no trace of any battle.
Miss Wu's back felt chilly. She tightly wrapped her hands around Zhuo Mufeng's arms and pressed her body tightly against him: "Is there a ghost? Otherwise, who could do such a thing?"
Zhuo Mufeng observed his surroundings.
In fact, he was a little nervous, but a man should never show his timidity in front of the woman he likes: "Don't be afraid, little idiot. There are no ghosts in this world, only people who pretend to be gods. Now I think of a doubt."
"What's the suspicion?"
"From the beginning to the end, you and I only heard voices, but never saw the so-called tribal natives and leopards. Everything was said by Uncle Meng."
Wu Yuanyuan trembled all over, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she raised her head to look at Zhuo Mufeng: "You, you, are you doubting Uncle Meng?"
Zhuo Mufeng laughed and said: "You idiot, you are overthinking this. Uncle Meng has always loved and cared for us. How could he harm us? He has no reason or motive. If it was really critical, he would not have waited until now. But this matter is indeed revealed everywhere.
It’s weird, I can’t figure it out right now.”
Wu Yuanyuan said eagerly: "Then let's go back quickly, and we'll find out when Uncle Meng comes back and asks." She didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer.
He looked around again, but couldn't see any clues. Zhuo Mufeng had no choice but to nod. Seeing that Wu Damei was leaning on him in fear, he took the initiative to hold her slender waist, and after a few ups and downs, he returned to the big tree and was chopped off.
place.
The interval was not short, but Meng Jiuxiao did not come back, which made Zhuo Mufeng frown secretly.
According to the practice of the past few days, Meng Jiuxiao would never leave them too far. Zhuo Mufeng even suspected that Meng Jiuxiao had not left, but was just watching them secretly. But the situation in front of him was different.
All these anomalies made Zhuo Mufeng puzzled. Invisibly, he felt more and more strange and unpredictable about this place.
The two waited for a long time, but still did not see Meng Jiuxiao return.
Wu Yuanyuan's face turned slightly pale and she asked worriedly: "Is something going to happen to Uncle Meng?"
Zhuo Mufeng hugged her waist tightly and held her in his arms, but at this time, he had no intention of feeling the warm and fragrant nephrite. His whole body was tense, and his mind radiated around, not daring to let go of any slightest move.
call!
A gust of wind hit so fast! As soon as the two turned around, a figure appeared three feet away from them. He was wearing a gray gown, with white hair flying back. It was not Meng Jiuxiao.
"Uncle Meng!" Wu Yuanyuan shouted in surprise.
But Zhuo Mufeng sensed that something was wrong, a warning sign suddenly appeared, and he led Wu Yuanyuan back without thinking.
Almost at the same time, Meng Jiuxiao pulled out the golden-topped Zaoyang tree on his back and slashed it forward. The bright green light was like a giant pointed cone, attacking Zhuo Mufeng and the two with the force of chopping waves.
Ah screamed. Wu Yuanyuan reacted quickly at the critical moment. Zhuo Mufeng had just made an outer lion mark. She had already pulled out the sword hanging on Xiaoman's waist, and blasted out a five-color sword light.
Boom!
The lion phantom was suddenly pierced by the green cone. It was followed by five-color sword light. This time it resisted for a while before being crushed, but it also consumed several percent of the green cone.
After a moment's pause, Miss Wu held Zhuo Mufeng with one hand. The two of them moved in a twisted way to avoid the green cone, and a strong energy burst out from behind.
"Snake-shaped tanuki?"
Zhuo Mufeng looked at Wu Yuanyuan in surprise. The light kung fu Wu Yuanyuan performed just now was clearly the snake-shaped raccoon drum recorded in the Nine Yin Manual. This girl's talent is really high. She practiced it to a minor level in more than a month.
.
But now was not the time to be surprised, Meng Jiuxiao roared and attacked again.
Since the Yitian Sword was broken and Zhuo Mufeng could not conjure a magic sword out of thin air to arouse suspicion, he had been using his bare hands these days, and now he was finally stretched thin.
Wu Yuanyuan stood in front and kept striking out with five-color sword light, shouting: "Uncle Meng, what are you doing?"
However, Meng Jiuxiao had no reaction. His face was full of hatred, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was waving the golden-topped Zaoyang in both arms. He was worthy of being a first-class master in the world, and he easily shattered Wu Yuanyuan's body.
Sword moves.
The green pointed cones hit at a faster speed. The previous wave had just been sent out, and the latter wave was catching up. It was like a huge rolling wave hitting the shore head-on, roughly pushing away the air along the way. Under the force of the air, all formed
Use a thin sharp blade to cut off some twigs on both sides.
This kind of power was truly shocking. Wu Yuanyuan was so frightened that she turned pale and moved sideways to the right without thinking. Zhuo Mufeng didn't know when he moved to the back, with a majestic appearance, and simultaneously made the outer lion seal with both hands.
pound!
The two lion phantoms bit around Meng Jiuxiao, but were shocked by his body-protecting energy. However, they finally slowed down Meng Jiuxiao and gave Wu Yuanyuan a chance to breathe.
This move seemed to anger Meng Jiuxiao. He quickly turned around and used his body to drive the golden-topped Zaoyang Mountain, slashing at Zhuo Mufeng with the force of sweeping thousands of troops. Before the green pointed cone arrived, the sound of air explosions that pierced the eardrums had already struck first.
The explosion caused the thick branches lying along the way to fall into pieces.
Zhuo Mufeng had expected it, so he flew up in the air with the Nine Ghosts Great Movement, dodged six times, changed six directions in the air, and finally narrowly avoided the range of the gas blast.
He felt awe-inspiring and thankful in his heart, and found that Meng Jiuxiao was mentally impaired. Although his skills were still profound, his expression was dull. He only knew how to execute killing moves, but did not know how to adapt to changes. Otherwise, with the strength of the opponent, how could he and Wu Yuanyuan still stand here?
Meng Jiuxiao was poisoned!
A light flashed in Zhuo Mufeng's mind. At this moment, Wu Yuanyuan bypassed Meng Jiuxiao, rushed from the side, grabbed Zhuo Mufeng and flew out.
The two of them pushed their skills to the limit at the same time, running away while moving backwards, trying to thwart Meng Jiuxiao's pursuit.
However, not only could they not escape Meng Jiuxiao, but they were chased closer and closer by him. They were almost hit by the aftermath of the explosion several times, which shocked the two of them to the point where their blood surged and they became dizzy.
"Zhuo Mufeng, you run to the right and I'll divert him away."
Wu Yuanyuan suddenly gritted her teeth, and before Zhuo Mufeng could react, she pushed him to the right with a palm. She turned around and drew her sword, actively attacking Meng Jiuxiao to attract firepower, and then swept towards the left.
As expected, Meng Jiuxiao was hit and chased after him.
"Miss!"
Zhuo Mufeng's heart was severely touched. That time Wu Yuanyuan fell off the cliff to help him collect the three black snails. After all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, so it couldn't compare to what she felt at this moment.
She understood what that meant. Once Meng Jiuxiao caught up with her, she would die or not, given that Meng Jiuxiao was in a state of disowning her relatives. But she did not hesitate to give herself the chance to escape.
This charming girl is unruly, willful, and unreasonable, and is so arrogant that no one can get close to her. But once you truly get her heart, her deep love and persistence will make you feel like you have the most precious wealth in the world.
.
Zhuo Mufeng felt this way. He chased after him anxiously and used his killing moves crazily.
But after all, his Qinggong was far behind the two. At first, he could still see shadows, then he could only hear explosions, and then he didn't know anything at all.
The dense forest was silent and deep. Zhuo Mufeng used his tracking skills to follow the traces of the battle. Soon after, a strange building appeared in front of him.
Instead, they were tree stumps that had been chopped into several feet. On top of the tree stumps, wooden pillars of different thicknesses were erected. The wooden pillars were covered with curtains strung with large branches and leaves, forming spaces similar to houses.
However, most of the curtains were broken, and the exposed wooden piles were rotten and blue-gray in color. The surface was covered with dense holes, and there were many ants coming in and out.
It was obvious that there was once a tribe here, but it must have been ruined a long time ago. Most of the bows and arrows and stone tools placed there were hairy.
What made Zhuo Mufeng's hair stand on end was that when they arrived here, the traces of the battle between Meng Jiuxiao and Wu Yuanyuan suddenly disappeared.
He turned back and hurried around, and found that the broken branches, the exploded soil, etc. were completely gone, and everything was neat. It was as if what he had just experienced was just a dream.
Meng Jiuxiao and Wu Yuanyuan, just like the tribesmen before, mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
