The person to go up the mountain was quickly decided.
In addition to Qin Xiao, he also brought two more disciples from the martial arts school, namely the second disciple Liu Xiyun and the third disciple Chen Zhen.
The three of them are all top-notch masters in martial arts schools, and they all have experience in going out alone, and have certain abilities to deal with various outdoor situations.
Carrying various tools, the big black dog took the lead, and the group soon entered the back mountain.
The back mountain of Lujiagou is very large, stretching for dozens of miles, and is lush and green. It can be said to be the largest mountain range nearby.
In actual terms, Lujiagou is just an inconspicuous village at the foot of this mountain.
There are more than a dozen villages similar to it nearby.
After entering the back mountain, we were surrounded by huge rocks, big trees, and dense branches blocking the sky.
Jian Zhen instantly felt very small.
He looked at his body and realized that even if he was lying sideways, he was not as thick as the trunk of a tree. He immediately rolled his eyes.
At this moment, the third disciple Chen Zhen looked around and suddenly said: "It seems that no one has been to this back mountain for a long time!"
"Yes, but there are footprints on the ground, it should be the teacher...that one."
Second disciple Liu Xiyun explained awkwardly.
He originally wanted to say master, but then he thought that Liu was not worthy of this title at all, so he had to change his mind.
Qin Xiao immediately saw what his junior brother was thinking, so he smiled and said.
"Well, Xiaoxi is right. Master's mother probably took this path. Let's follow her quickly."
"good."
Liu Xiyun and Chen Zhen responded in unison.
Then, the three of them quickened their pace and soon caught up with Lu Xiaoyue who was walking in front.
Lu Xiaoyue walked very fast.
Because there was Dahei leading the way, she didn't have to worry about anything. As long as she was careful about where she stepped, she could move forward boldly.
Moreover, Jianzhen has been chatting with her, reminding her from time to time to make her feel safe.
At this time, as long as she has the wooden sword in hand, Lu Xiaoyue can say that she is not afraid of anything, and she can dare to go anywhere.
After walking for a long time, I was always in charge of exploring the way in front of me. Suddenly, I heard a few loud shouts.
"Woof woof...ow!"
"Huh? There's a problem!"
Jian Zhen immediately heard what Da Hei meant, and quickly moved a few times to inform Lu Xiaoyue.
Qin Xiao and others behind him heard the barking of the big black dog and quickly reacted, becoming extremely alert.
Although I don't know what the specific situation is, I have noticed something strange.
"What happened? What did Dahei find?" Lu Xiaoyue asked quickly.
"Master, let me go and have a look." Qin Xiao volunteered to stand up.
"good."
Lu Xiaoyue immediately nodded in agreement.
The big black dog ran very far, and Qin Xiao trotted forward for a while before he found its location.
When he got there, he immediately discovered something was wrong.
The big black dog was digging at the soil, as if there was something hidden there.
Qin Xiao did not act rashly, but stood aside, quietly watching the big black dog's movements, waiting for it to dig open.
After a while, a dark thing was dug out by the big black dog.
Qin Xiao took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a piece of bone.
"Why are there bones here?" He was a little confused.
After taking a closer look, he suddenly opened his eyes wide with an incredible look.
"These are human bones! How could there be human bones hidden here?"
Qin Xiao was suddenly frightened.
However, he was a well-informed person after all, so he quickly calmed down and looked at the big black dog, hoping that it could dig out more things.
However, after the big black dog dug out the bones, he never looked there again, but ran straight back, as if to find Lu Xiaoyue.
"Forget it, maybe it's gone."
He thought for a moment, then took the bone and followed.
After a while, Qin Xiao followed the big black dog back to Lu Xiaoyue's place.
At this time, Jian Zhen had received enough information from the big black dog.
It just dug up a piece of human bone, but it was buried a few years ago, and there was only one piece.
"How come there are human bones?"
Jian Zhen had the same doubts as Qin Xiao.
But doubts remained doubts, and he had no intention of telling Lu Xiaoyue about this matter. After all, she was still too young to accept such a thing.
Besides, the matter of human bones has nothing to do with the Liu family.
No need to say it!
When he returned to the crowd, Qin Xiao didn't tell him about the human bones. He just said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's Dahei who's screaming."
"Is that so? Then keep walking." Lu Xiaoyue nodded and calmly ordered.
So, the team continued to move forward, and the big black dog ran ahead again to explore the way.
At this time, Qin Xiao quietly retreated to the back of the team, called his two junior brothers over, and took out the human bones he had just picked up.
"Look, what is this?" he said softly.
Liu Xiyun glanced at it, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "Bone? Human!"
"Senior brother, did you pick it up in front?" Chen Zhen quickly thought of what happened just now.
"Yeah." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "This is the only piece the big black dog dug out!"
Liu Xiyun stretched out his hand, took the bone, looked at it carefully, and came to an astonishing conclusion.
"There are traces of being bitten!"
"Eating people? Beasts, or something?"
Chen Zhen frowned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
Liu Xiyun did not answer directly, but handed him the bone and then looked around.
Chen Zhen took the bone and found that the bone was not complete and looked like a fragment.
This is a broken bone!
Inferring from this, the thing that chewed the bones must be quite big and extremely powerful!
"Could it be a bear?" He subconsciously guessed.
In the forest, apart from tigers, the only wild animals that agree with these conditions are bears.
However, there have never been tigers in Lujiagou in this generation. However, bears did appear once, but they were quickly hunted down.
Is it possible that another bear has come here?
At this time, Qin Xiao, who had been silent, finally expressed his opinion.
"I don't see it!"
"What could that be?" Liu Xiyun asked, biting her lip.
"have no idea."
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Let's take a look again!"
After saying this, he patted his two junior brothers on the shoulders and said, "Don't worry, we are not afraid even if there are bears."
"Not to mention that Master is here, even if it's just the three of us, we can still kill a bear."
"Yes." Liu Xiyun nodded in agreement.
"Then let's follow quickly."
Chen Zhen quickly suggested.
Ahead, Jian Zhen has been guessing the origin of this bone.
However, he was not familiar with this area and did not know what kind of beasts there were, so he could not get any answers for the time being.
However, he had a vague premonition in his heart.
Mrs. Liu never came back, which may be related to this!
"Woof woof...ow!"
Ahead, the strange barking of the big black dog suddenly came again.
