Seeing that Yinghou had started taking action, Long Chen did not hesitate and began to slowly move deeper into the forest.
Long Chen's speed is not very fast. On the one hand, he needs to be careful and try not to leave too many traces, which will make it more difficult for Yinghou to find him.
On the other hand, he didn't dare to make a sound, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain once discovered by the Yinghou.
Therefore, Long Chen's moving speed is not much faster than Yinghou's searching speed, and Long Chen's route cannot be straight, otherwise it would be bad if Yinghou comes in a straight line.
After all, this was not an ordinary hide-and-seek game. If he failed, his life would be lost. For the first time in his life, Long Chen was so nervous. It was as if the blade of death was on his neck. If he was not careful, his head would fall to the ground.
"Long Chen, I saw you, go to hell"
Yinghou suddenly shouted loudly and rushed forward. Long Chen was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now his seat is about five miles away from Yinghou. It does not mean that Yinghou is faster than Long Chen.
But Long Chen needs to meander forward and cannot walk straight. However, according to Long Chen's footsteps, the distance between them is still more than ten miles.
The Yinghou was obviously bluffing and suddenly jumped out to bully the young Long Chen. If he were an ordinary young man, he would have been frightened and run for his life, thus falling into his trap.
But now Long Chen was hiding quietly under a big tree, admiring the top figure of Fengming Empire amusing himself.
However, Long Chen did not dare to look directly at Ying Hou. Ever since he was sensed by Ying Hou through the glass wall at the Huayun Pavilion auction last time, Long Chen knew that the vigilance of masters was very terrifying.
Yinghou tried several times in succession without any effect, so he had to return to the original place and continue to explore Long Chen's footprints.
After all, no matter how careful Long Chen is, he can't fly and will still leave traces on the ground, grass, stones, and dead wood.
However, due to Long Chen's caution, the traces in some places were not obvious. Careful inspection was needed to determine the path Long Chen took, which would consume a lot of time and energy from Yinghou.
Compared to Long Chen, he was more passive and paid more than Long Chen. Yinghou became increasingly angry.
"Long Chen, when I catch you, I will definitely skin you, crush your bones, and spread your ashes." Ying Hou couldn't help but gritted his teeth.
He knew that Long Chen was nearby and could hear his words. He could even imagine that Long Chen was hiding in a corner and snickering, which made him increasingly angry the more he thought about it.
A powerful man in the Yijin Realm, one of the three top masters in the Fengming Empire, could not even kill a kid in the Qi Gathering Realm. If word spread, he would become the laughing stock of the entire empire.
However, Kong was full of anger but couldn't let it out. He had to stay calm, otherwise if he was a little negligent, Long Chen might really escape. While searching, he pricked up his ears and listened to what was going on around him.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Long Chen's mouth: "You want to cramp and skin me? I'm afraid it will be difficult to realize your great wish."
Seeing that the Yinghou began to advance slowly again, Long Chen made a slight judgment on the direction. Now the only ideal goal is to advance deep into the dense forest.
In fact, he could bypass the Yinghou, sneak out of the valley, and then return to the imperial capital, and this idea was very tempting.
However, Long Chen gave up decisively, because based on his understanding of Yinghou, he would definitely have some arrangements before coming here. If he went out rashly, he would most likely fall into a trap.
The most important thing is that he is now seriously injured internally, and the meridians in his right hand have been shattered. His combat strength is less than one-tenth of his usual strength. If he encounters a few strong people in the blood coagulation realm, he may be killed.
Therefore, Long Chen had to suppress the temptation of the imperial capital and continue to march deep into the forest, proceeding carefully along the way in a "Z" shape. Although he could not quickly distance himself, it could mislead the Yinghou and let him move forward.
More slowly.
After marching for another two hours, the sky suddenly darkened, and the entire forest became eerie and terrifying, with roars of wild beasts heard from time to time.
Long Chen's face changed slightly. If he was unlucky and was discovered by a ferocious beast, although he would not be eaten by the ferocious beast, it would be the most terrifying thing if he attracted the Yinghou.
Now that night is coming, some large beasts are looking for food. Those beasts don't know how powerful he is. If they attack him as food, they will be in trouble.
At this time, Long Chen was hiding under a stone wall. Suddenly, there was a soft sound. Long Chen hurriedly scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Although he couldn't see his fingers at this time, Long Chen's soul power spread out and could replace his eyes to "see" clearly the situation within a few dozen feet around him.
It was a wolf, three feet tall, looking like a calf, grinning and staring at Long Chen.
Long Chen couldn't help but secretly screamed, "I am the one who will die. This is a beast, not a magical beast. Although it is not strong in combat, if this blind beast attacks him, even if he can kill it instantly, it will still make some noise."
Now the entire forest is silent, and Marquis Ying is only about ten miles away from him. With his cultivation in Yijin Realm, it is impossible not to notice it, not to mention that he is quietly paying attention to all the movements around him.
Long Chen slowly took out a dagger from the ring. If the hungry wolf came over, he would kill it with one strike, but he was not sure whether he could kill the wolf quietly.
If the wolf screams before it dies, then everything will be over. One person and one wolf are looking at each other, and Long Chen feels like he is sweating.
This wolf is not scary. The key is that this wolf will attract more powerful people, and that is the most terrifying consequence.
After looking at each other for a few breaths, the wolf sniffed a few times, and then to Long Chen's surprise, the wolf began to retreat, and finally disappeared into the night.
Long Chen was confused. Suddenly, Long Chen thought of a snow-white little guy. Could it be that he and Xiaoxue had been contaminated by its magical beast aura and scared away the wolf?
"Oh, that's too bad, Xiaoxue is still at the entrance of the valley."
Long Chen wanted to slap himself on the head, but he actually forgot about Xiaoxue. Before he killed Xia Changfeng, he let Xiaoxue hide in a cave.
Later, the situation changed drastically. The appearance of Yinghou made Long Chen and Aman unable to resist. Long Chen fled into the forest in order to lure Yinghou away.
Looking back now, Long Chen couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that Aman would be smart and remember to take Xiaoxue away.
Today, Xiaoxue has eaten a lot of meat with Long Chen, and has grown from the size of a palm to more than a foot long, but it is still too small, and it is far from being able to survive independently.
Thinking of this cute little guy, Long Chen wanted to return to the valley now, but this was unrealistic. There was a killer waiting for him nearby.
