Chapter 3008 Tracking
Seeing Old Man Bai being harmed by a small shadow has been one of Jin Rui's greatest pleasures from the past.
"Meow meow~" Xiao Ying called out again, which made Jin Rui, who was still laughing at Old Man Bai, suddenly mute.
Seeing Old Ghost Jin's depressed expression, Old Man Bai knew that what Xiaoying said must be a 'good thing', at least for him, it was a good thing. He gloated and asked with a smile, "What did Xiaoying just say?"
"I didn't say anything. If anything, I just scolded you for being ugly!!" Jin Rui responded depressedly. As soon as he heard the translation, he knew it was definitely fake. No matter how you looked at it, he was scolding Old Man Bai.
.
Old man Bai didn't mind, and smiled happily: "Forget it if you don't say it, but I probably know what Xiaoying is talking about. Just look at your stinky face, it must mean that you are also wrinkled with old age. Xiaoying
, am I right?”
"Meow~" Xiaoying nodded and shouted. Old Man Bai couldn't understand what Xiaoying said, but Xiaoying could completely understand what Old Man Bai was saying.
Jin Rui glared at Bai Yuanjing fiercely. Xiaoying did say at first, 'Old man Bai has grown old', but the second sentence was 'He has become as wrinkled as his master'.
All I can say is that Old Man Bai’s guess was extremely accurate!
Old Man Bai used to hang out with Jin Rui's Xiaoying, but when that incident happened, the team was disbanded. They both wandered for a while, but in the end they both returned to Yeluocheng.
Destiny is always so unpredictable. One of the two of them became the dean of Yeluocheng Tianhun Academy, and the other became the president of Yeluocheng Mercenary Union.
Although they are both aware of each other's existence, for some unknown reason, they both seem to be deliberately avoiding each other. There are only a few opportunities to see each other in a year.
This situation has lasted for nearly twenty years. It was not until the arrival of Zheng Feng and the others that the two people gradually had more opportunities to meet. Although they were very good friends, they never took the initiative to interact with each other. It was really incomprehensible.
Seeing Old Man Bai's proud smiling face, Jin Rui was itching with hatred. He only blamed himself for making careless friends! Whenever he saw Xiao Ying, he would secretly curse Old Man Bai. Look at this damn old guy.
The soul beast has become so bad that even his own master dares to use it for hunting.
But it's too late to correct Xiaoying now. Once a habit is formed, it's really not that easy to correct it.
Jin Rui tried to correct Xiao Ying, but after it had no effect, he no longer wasted his efforts and simply gave up. At this time, he ordered: "Xiao Ying, check the area around here to see if there are any human activities.
, the traces or smell that remain.”
"Meow!" After Xiaoying responded, there was a "swish" sound, and his body suddenly turned into countless water droplets that spread out, and the water droplets scattered around the forest.
But Jin Rui and Bai Yuanjing just stood there quietly, waiting for Xiaoying's response. Soul beasts and humans are far superior to humans in terms of vision, smell, hearing, etc. If even Xiaoying can't find out the clues,
, it was in vain for them to go.
Moreover, Xiaoying's 'Water Mist Technique' can also divide himself into countless water droplets. As long as the mental power is enough, each water droplet can become Xiaoying's sight range. With so many water droplets, although Xiaoying cannot control them all, but every time
There is no problem in controlling only a part of the water droplets. Even if it is only a part of the water droplets, after spreading, the coverage will be very vast. It will definitely be much faster than Jin Rui and the others slowly searching for it by themselves.
Not long after the water droplets spread out, they suddenly merged in one direction and formed a small shadow again.
"Meow--!!"
Xiao Ying's call came from the woods. The sound was not loud, but it reached the ears of Jin Rui and Bai Yuanjing very clearly. The two people immediately knew that Xiao Ying must have discovered something.
Jin Rui's eyebrows were filled with joy and he said with a smile: "It seems that we are lucky enough to be able to find clues so quickly."
Before Old Man Bai finished Jin Rui's words, he had already walked towards the direction where Xiaoying's figure came from. He turned around and shouted: "Why are you so long-winded? Didn't you just say you were in a hurry? Hurry up, you're still stupid.
Why are you standing there dawdling?"
Several blue veins gradually appeared on Jin Rui's forehead. He could be said anything by anyone, but not by this damn drunkard. What right did this drunkard have to say this to him? This guy was the one who had been wasting his time.
However, Jin Rui also knows that now is not the time to 'settle accounts' with this drunkard. After he is sure that the two princesses are safe and sound, he will slowly settle today's accounts with this drunkard one by one.
!
"Hmph..." Jin Rui snorted angrily, suppressed the anger in his heart, and started to move.
Xiaoying's position was not too far away from them, probably a few hundred meters away. When the two came to Xiaoying's position, they immediately understood why Xiaoying called them over.
In front of Xiaoying, there were some scattered vines and branches on the ground. Originally, these two things could be seen everywhere in the Qinghai forest, and there was nothing strange about them.
However, the vines and branches on the ground at this time were slightly different from other places. Neither of them were rookies who knew nothing. When they first saw these vines and branches, they discovered a problem.
The broken vines and branches on the ground are extremely smooth and neat. This is definitely not natural now. Naturally fallen vines and branches cannot be so smooth.
The only explanation is that these fragmented vine branches are man-made. Judging from the characteristics of the cuts, they should be cuts made by direct cutting with sharp weapons such as swords.
Old Man Bai walked up, not looking at the vine branches on the ground, but at the shrubs nearby. He immediately discovered the neat cuts. He touched the cuts on the branches hard with his fingers, and they were immediately coated with the sticky tree branches.
sap, and then said: "These vines can still maintain such smooth cuts until now. They should have been cut not long ago, and the sap that seeped out has not completely dried up, so it shouldn't take long.
That’s right.”
Jin Rui also picked up a branch. After sensing it, he nodded to Bai Yuanjing and said: "There is no residual fluctuation of beast soul power or energy on the incision. It should be that the body refiner swung the sword with his bare hands."
caused."
After the two looked at each other, they set off at full speed towards these traces. No matter which mercenary team left these traces, we will find them first.
At the same time, there is one more thing that can be determined, that is, just move in this direction, at least it won't be like a blind fly, rushing around like before.
If you don't know the scope at all and want to find someone in the Qinghai Forest, it will be of no use even if a strong man from the 'Heaven' level comes with just two 'Earth' level cultivators.
Every time the two of them move a certain distance, Xiaoying will re-identify and put it down to make sure that the untracked route is correct. Otherwise, as long as there is a slight error, if they keep walking, that small error will be magnified countless times, and finally
This leads to the situation where "a slight difference can make a difference a thousand miles".
Although the traces left by the unknown mercenary group were not obvious, they had to be exposed under Xiaoying's exploration. As the sap from the cuts on the branches became more and more viscous, Old Man Bai could conclude that they were far away from the mercenary group.
They should be getting closer. I believe that if we keep this speed, we will be able to catch up with them in a short time.
Moreover, according to Old Man Bai's conjecture, those who can maintain wielding a sword for such a long time without resting may only be able to do so by body refiners who have reached the 'Spirit' level or above. So, the mercenary group they are following should be '
Scavenger Mercenary Group'!
Because, in this mission, there are only two mercenary groups with 'spirit' level cultivators, one is Zheng Feng's mercenary group, and the other is the scavenger mercenary group.
Zheng Feng was not a body refiner, so Old Man Bai took it for granted that these traces were definitely not left by Zheng Feng, but could only be left by the four spiritual warriors of the Scavenger Mercenary Group.
