Chapter 7418 Strange Color
Outside Mo Village.
Moyun Forest is located to the east of Mo Village.
After walking on the mountain road for a while, Mochi stopped.
“This shoe print!”
There are two small shoe prints on the mud.
"Is it the little tiger baby's?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"It belongs to the little tiger baby, but why wasn't it on the way here? It's only here, and there doesn't seem to be any in front of it."
Mo Chi looked solemn, with a strange look in his eyes.
"There is more than one person, little tiger baby, it is possible that he did not come out on his own." Zi Yan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
"Master Zi, why are you so sure?" Mo Chi asked doubtfully.
"On our way here, it's not that there are no shoe prints, but the shoe prints are too shallow. If you don't look carefully, you can't see them at all."
Zi Yan took out a cloth bag and grabbed something from it. A handful of green dust was sprinkled towards the way it came.
Not long after, many light green shoe prints began to appear on the ground.
Mo Chi and others really believed it now.
"Without Lord Zi's medicinal powder, we really wouldn't be able to tell. After a rain, the shoe prints will completely disappear." Mo Chi's face was heavy.
It is not a good thing for Zi Yan’s words to be verified.
You must know that in this way, the loss of the little tiger baby is not his personal behavior, but that he was taken away by others.
“This shoe print doesn’t look like a man’s, and it’s so shallow. Could it be an ordinary person’s shoe print?” Mo Chi asked.
“Only a master of Qinggong can make the shoe print so shallow. Looking at the size and shape of the shoe print, it is more likely that the shoe print belongs to a woman. Of course, it may also be a short man.” Zi Yan said thoughtfully.
"Qinggong is so good, I'm afraid I won't be able to match you." Mo Chi frowned.
"Village Chief Mo, let A Niu and the others go back. Those who don't know martial arts won't be able to help, and they may become hostages of the other party." Zi Yan said lightly.
Mo Chi gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision: "A Niu, take the others back and tell my father to organize the manpower and seal off the entire village, no one can go out and no one can come in. . ”
“Ah, let’s go back first.”
A Niu nodded and the others didn’t say anything and followed A Niu back.
Luo Xingchen admired Mo Chi very much. Those people listened to Mo Chi and went back to the village without asking any more questions.
This may be the authority of the village chief.
All the others left, and only Mo Chi, Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan were left.
Mo Chi looked at Luo Xingchen and said: "Master Luo, you and Master Zi should go back. I can handle this matter by myself."
"This is what Village Chief Mo said. Seeing others, we also want to do our part!”
"There is no need to worry about us. We are all martial arts practitioners and have the ability to protect ourselves. Village Chief Mo, don't worry." Luo Xingchen said.
"Okay, let's go together."
Since Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan talked about this, Mo Chi had no choice but to agree.
The three of them then walked forward, Zi Yan said: "I'll go ahead, I can see the shoe prints on the ground."
Luo Xingchen and Mo Chi both looked at it There are no shoe prints on the ground, unless the purple smoke keeps sprinkling green powder on the ground along the way.
But that's not possible.
The special fluorescent powder Zi Yan has on hand is in limited quantity and is used for marking, not wasted in places like this.
Zi Yan walked in front, speeding up a bit.
Zi Yan can determine the direction of the shoe prints with just one glance.
There is a big gap between each two shoe prints, which shows that the owner of the shoe prints has extremely exquisite light skills, and can be said to be able to step on the snow without leaving a trace. There are not many people in the entire world who can do this. Most of them are old-school martial arts masters who have been famous for a long time.
"Is there Moyun Forest ahead?"
Zi Yan saw that after rounding a bend, there was an endless mountain forest ahead.
“Yes, that’s Mo Yunlin.” Mo Chi nodded.
"The shoe print disappeared." Zi Yan frowned.
"What should we do?" Mo Chi was a little confused. The situation was so complicated that he was at a loss.
"Let me take a closer look." Zi Yan looked around.
"Based on the location where the shoe prints disappeared, it is very likely that this person entered the woods."
Zi Yan swayed, grabbed the branches with both hands, and after a few clicks, he was already standing The top of a tall pine tree.
"Yes, you entered the woods and left from the trees." Zi Yan said loudly.
"Sister Ziyan, has that person left the woods?" Luo Xingchen raised his head and asked.
"I must have left."
Zi Yan jumped down from the tree, and there was already an extra piece of bark in her hand.
"Chief Mo, look at the shoe prints on the bark of this tree." Zi Yan said.
If you look carefully with the ink ruler, you can see that there is half a shoe print on the bark, which is the front half.
"Originally, this shoe print should not have appeared, but the man walked on the mud, and the soles of his shoes were stuck with mud after all... Some of the wet mud was imprinted on the bark of the tree, forming this incomplete footprint."< br>
Zi Yan pursed her lips, and then asked: "Village Chief Mo, do you have any enemies? Otherwise, that person Why did you want to take away the little tiger?”
“There can be no enemies. We in Mo Village don’t make enemies outside, and my family is even more friendly to others. Even if there are some minor conflicts, no one will take away the little tiger. Baby.”
Mo Chi thought hard, but couldn’t think of any particular enemy.
“What’s behind Moyunlin? Can we leave the Yudai Mountains? I’m worried that the man took the little tiger baby out of the mountain and left.”
Purple smoke.
"Yes, behind Mo Yunlin, there is a trail leading outside." Mo Chi's body was shaking as he thought that his son might have been taken away.
What should I tell my wife and father when I go back now?
"Leading to the outside of Yudai Mountain? There is really a road." Zi Yan said.
"It really does exist. It's a secret passage. Not many people know about it." Mo Chi said dejectedly.
"Take us to have a look, maybe we can see some clues." Zi Yan said.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Mo Chi stepped into the woods first. He raised his hand to take off the bow hanging on his back, pulled out an arrow, and put it on the bow. , walking towards inside step by step.
There is a vague road in the woods, like a snake, winding and extending inside.
It’s just that both sides of the road are covered with thorns, and many of them have climbed onto the road.
"This is the road that the hunters from the villages near us use. Every once in a while, someone comes to clean it up. We take turns coming from different villages."
Mo Chi explained as he walked.
"Do they all know the secret passage on the opposite side?" Zi Yan asked.
“A few people know about it, but those who know generally won’t tell anyone. They are mainly worried that outsiders will sneak into the mountains through that road and kill all the prey...”
"We mountain people rely on prey to make a living. The rice yields in the fields we plant are not high. Farming alone cannot support us." Mo Chi explained the reason.
"Relying on mountains and water, hunters naturally rely on hunting. This is human nature." Luo Xingchen nodded.
