Chapter 841 Clues
After eating a meal of roast pork, everyone who looked exhausted became a lot more energetic. A piece of pork weighing 500 to 600 kilograms was eaten by more than 100 people. Even the fox threw it away before. The pork liver, heart, and belly were finally picked up by a few guards, washed again, and grilled.
Finally, there were a few roasted rabbits and pheasants left. Everyone couldn't eat any more. Chu Cang looked at them and couldn't bear to throw them away, so he picked some big leaves and wrapped them, tied them with vines, and threw them to Gansong. Carry it on your back.
After everyone packed up, they followed the direction of the stream and headed deeper into the mountains.
After walking not far, half an hour later, Chu Fei pointed to a pile of black ash in front of him and said, "Master, look, has anyone been here before?"
Xia Zihan, Chu Jingqi, and Ao Tianchen were all filled with surprise, and flew to the black ash area to investigate carefully.
Xia Zihan found many medicinal materials that had been selected and thrown away by the stream.
Her eyes were red with excitement. She grabbed Chu Jingqi's lapel and choked with sobs, "Aqi, look, it's medicinal materials. The master must have been here. Apart from him, there will be no other person in the world who chooses medicinal materials like this."
Doctor Bai is extremely picky about common medicinal materials. As long as there are medicinal materials that are ten years old, he will never use those that are five years old. As long as there are five years old ones, he will never use those that are three years old.
In short, the older the medicinal materials are, the more effective they will be.
And those who are young will be given up by Doctor Bai.
Of course, that refers to ordinary medicinal materials, rare and precious medicinal materials, not to mention a year or two, even a few months, even if they are full of insect holes, he will still use them without throwing them away.
In front of him, there was a pile of ordinary medicinal materials thrown away. Although the medicinal materials were dried by the sunlight and turned into a pile of hay, Xia Zihan could still recognize them.
Xia Zihan squatted down and took a closer look, and found that most of them were used to stop bleeding and treat injuries. Her expression suddenly became anxious, and she dragged Chu Jingqi and said, "They are all used to treat injuries and stop bleeding. Some of them must be injured."
Chu Jingqi hugged her, patted her back, and comforted her, "Don't worry. Since we have discovered their whereabouts, it means they are still alive. As long as I look forward, I will find them soon."< br>
"Look here." Ao Tianchen suddenly called them over.
Ao Tianchen pointed to a few spots of black ash and said, "Look, there are only five spots of black ash here. Although it has been washed away by the rain, you can see that the fire is not big."
There were only five fires, and only six or seven people, ten at most, could sit around each fire. However, Chu Yuexi's first group of people who entered the mountain totaled nearly two hundred people.
But now, there are less than fifty people left.
You must know that the people who followed Chu Yuexi in were all members of the Yinlin Guards. Not only were they highly skilled in martial arts, they were also all smart and agile people.
Now, there are so many people missing, which shows that they must have experienced a very fierce fight.
By the stream, Xia Zihan and the others found another animal skin that had been thrown down, and even found a wolf skin among them.
"There are wolves here. We have to be careful at night." Ao Tianchen also saw the wolf skin and was worried about Chu Yuexi. "I hope Chu Yuexi and the others are not being followed by the wolves."
How could a group of people with strong martial arts be afraid of a group of wild wolves, but if any of them were injured, it would be hard to say.
Xia Zihan was also worried about the safety of Chu Yuexi and Divine Doctor Bai. She turned pale and said, "This wolf skin is completely dry. It should have been thrown away a few months ago. Even if they will be chased by wolves, now , I’m afraid it has already passed.”
"Let's keep moving forward. As long as they are still there, we will always find them." Chu Jingqi said. A group of people continued to move forward. At night, they found a suitable place by the stream, lit several fires, and meditated around the fires to rest.
In addition, twenty guards were arranged to take turns keeping watch.
In the middle of the night, two people stood steadily on a big tree pole in the distance, a tall and thin man, and next to him stood a petite and exquisite woman.
"Chief, what should we do? They have come out of the illusion and they will find us sooner or later." The tall and thin man said with a worried look.
But the woman looked unconcerned and said, "When you come, you will come. If you come, you will just give us a few more sacrifices."
"But this group of people seems to have more powerful martial arts than the previous group of people. If..."
"There are no ifs." The woman interrupted the tall and thin man and said with a charming and lazy smile, "It doesn't matter if they have strong martial arts skills, as long as they enter our territory, they have to be controlled by us."
"That's what the leader said."
……
Xia Zihan and his group walked along the creek for almost half a month, and during this period, they successively discovered piles of black ash, animal skins, various dried herbs, and traces of fights between humans and animals.
They followed these traces to the foot of Wuzhifeng Mountain and saw a large waterfall flowing down from the peak. The stream of the stream was the downstream of this waterfall.
And those traces disappeared when they reached the waterfall.
The traces disappeared, and the clues to find Chu Yuexi and others were broken.
"It's been a few months since he disappeared. Maybe Young Master Chu left with someone?" a secret guard of the Chu family guessed.
The fox raised his eyebrows, slapped the secret guard on the back of the head, and cursed through gritted teeth, "You brat, you can just say whatever you want. Is Young Master Chu a person who is afraid of death? The mission given by the emperor has not been completed, Young Master Chu." Can you go back halfway? ”
"Boss, I was wrong. I was wrong." The secret guard cried sadly and quickly admitted his mistake. The fox snorted and slapped him on the back of the head.
Xia Zihan and others were looking for clues around the waterfall.
The upper reaches of the waterfall is the third highest peak of Wuzhi Peak, and there are two peaks on both sides of it. Each of these peaks is enough for them to walk for several months, trying to find a small peak in it. A tribe, or a few dozen people, is like looking for a needle in a haystack, or fishing for the moon in the river.
"Except for some traces of animals walking around, there's nothing else to be found around here." Xia Zihan said very disappointed.
"Damn it, those Miao people don't live at the foot of the mountain. Could it be that they all live on the mountain peak?" Chu Lin shouted anxiously, stamping her feet.
"It's not impossible." Chu Jingqi had a deep look on his face, and he analyzed calmly, "We have been walking along the creek road for half a month, and we have killed more than ten tigers alone. Tigers are ferocious beasts, and they are among the most powerful in the mountains. King, they all like to stay in their respective However, in just half a month, we met a dozen tigers who came to drink water from the creek. What does this mean? It means that there are not many water sources on this mountain, maybe just this creek. ”
