The group of three quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain and discovered the footprints left by Xie Wenwu and others.
Xie Wenwu brought a lot of people with him, and his footprints were so numerous and heavy that they could be easily discovered even at night.
As a result, Xie Yao and others followed the footsteps and quickly caught up with Xie Wenwu's large army.
"Sister, why are you here?" Xie Wenwu suddenly felt guilty when he saw Xie Yao.
"Find someone first, and we'll talk about other things later." Xie Yao glanced around. It was pitch black, and the visual distance was less than thirty meters. "Do you have any clues?"
"Yes." Xie Wenwu immediately calmed down and pointed to the ground in front of him, "There are footprints there, belonging to two people."
Xie Yao took a look and saw that they were indeed the footprints of two people. "Okay, let's search at full speed and try to catch them as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Xie Wenwu responded solemnly and began to search with all his strength.
After searching for a while, there was a fork in the road ahead, and the footprints showed that the two people parted ways.
"I'll take people to search this way, sister, you take the rest of the people to look over there." Xie Wenwu made decisive arrangements, gave half of the people to Xie Yao, and then set off with the remaining people.
The whole process is completed in the blink of an eye.
Xie Yao nodded and continued moving forward with the remaining people.
But not long after walking, the footprints disappeared into thin air.
"What's going on? Why are the footprints gone?" Someone unexpectedly said.
Xie Yao glanced at the ground, then looked around, and found traces of climbing on the tree. Apparently the leaker knew that footprints would reveal traces, so he climbed a tree instead.
Do you think you can avoid being tracked by climbing a tree?
Xie Yao took a closer look and found that the climbing traces were very dense, not like they were left by one person, but by four people!
That's right, four people! And at least four!
Before, there were only two people's footprints. After they parted ways, there should be only one person left here, but now there are four people's climbing traces!
She can track one, Wu Feng can track one, and there are two left...
"There are no footprints, what should I do?" Someone said again, but no one responded.
Xie Yao glanced at everyone, and everyone avoided looking at Xie Yao.
No one knows how to keep track.
"Why don't you let me try." Wu Peiya suddenly stood up, her head still covered with a thick layer, and she looked at Xie Yao asking for permission.
Xie Yao nodded directly, "Okay, then come and give it a try."
There are climbing traces for comparison, so it doesn't matter even if Wu Peiya makes a mistake in judgment.
Seeing Wu Peiya's young age, others were somewhat disdainful, but Xie Yao nodded and no one raised any objections.
When Wu Peiya saw the princess nodding, her eyes suddenly lit up. She glanced at the surrounding situation and pointed in the direction of the mountain, "This way."
Others shook their heads when they saw it. The only way to escape was to go down the mountain. Going up the mountain would be like throwing yourself into a trap. How could it be possible to go up the mountain?
Xie Yao smiled and said loudly: "Then go up the mountain!"
The traces of climbing on the trees are from going up the mountain.
After everyone moved forward for a while, they encountered a fork in the road again. Wu Peiya looked carefully and judged again, "The direction up the mountain!"
Xie Yao nodded and asked people to follow him, and at the same time motioned Wu Feng to take another path.
Because in that direction, traces of climbing were also found.
In this way, with Wu Peiya leading the way, everyone went up the mountain and soon reached the top of the mountain.
It's a small place and you can tell at a glance that it's deserted even at night!
There was nothing but two rocks the size of cow heads on the ground!
"This..." Some people felt helpless after seeing the situation clearly.
They came to catch fugitives. Now they have reached the top of the mountain, but they have not caught anyone. This is equivalent to giving them a chance to escape.
When Wu Peiya found that there was no one here, she frowned and was very confused.
Shouldn't it be like this?
Xie Yao looked around and pulled Wu Peiya closer to her, "You did a good job."
Wu Peiya thought that the princess was comforting herself, so she quickly said, "No! It shouldn't be like this. I obviously..."
Xie Yao raised her hand to signal Wu Peiya not to speak, then called two people and pointed to two bull-head-sized stones on the ground, "Move away, be careful."
The two were confused, but they immediately pushed the stone aside and withdrew.
The moment the stone was moved away, two rays of cold light shot out from inside!
However, the two men retreated in time and were not hit.
There are two holes where the two rocks are pressed, just big enough to accommodate an adult.
"You two, come out." Xie Yao said in a cold voice.
The other party was very smart and wanted to use footprints and climbing marks to lure them away and hide on the top of the mountain. After they couldn't find anyone to leave, they would come out from the top of the mountain and escape.
This is indeed a good idea, but I just happened to meet Wu Peiya, a person who had just learned some marching and fighting skills.
If it were an experienced person, he might not actually be able to find the top of the mountain.
Swish! Swish!
Two voices rang out, and two people came out of the cave.
The appearance of one of them is exactly the same as the portrait that Xie Yao took out before, and he is the one who leaked the information.
another……
Xie Yao took a look, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Gu refiner!
She only needed one glance to recognize that the other person was a Gu refiner!
It’s the Gu refiner again! I didn’t expect the leaker to be related to the Gu refiner!
"Jie Jie! I didn't expect that you would find out like this!" The leaker stared at Xie Yao with a sinister look, "Don't be too proud! Think you can catch me like this? Delusion! The most you can do is catch me.
It’s just a corpse!”
The leaker seemed to have made up his mind to die a long time ago, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, he cut his own neck!
Suddenly, blood started to flow!
The whole process was so fast that the leaker committed suicide almost as soon as he could stand upright.
When Xie Yao saw it, his eyes became fierce and he immediately rushed forward!
Even if it is bleeding from a large artery in the neck, death is not inevitable, as long as timely treatment is required!
When the Gu refiner saw Xie Yao rushing over, he flipped his wrist and slashed towards Xie Yao with his knife.
Xie Yao saw the cold light from the corner of her eye and could only pause for a moment, dodged the steel knife and continued to rush forward. At the same time, she shouted: "Come here, stop him!"
Someone immediately attacked the Gu refiner!
The Gu refiner seemed to have identified Xie Yao, and completely ignored other people's attacks, slashing Xie Yao with his sword!
Soon, the Gu refiner was hacked to death by everyone.
Xie Yao only came to the side of the leaker at this time. At this time, the leaker was still breathing.
The leaker looked at Xie Yao ferociously, with an even more proud look on his face, "Do you want to know who is behind me? Come to hell, and I will tell you personally! Hahahaha!"
Xie Yao didn't answer. He immediately pressed the aorta in the neck, then checked the lower pulse, and then released his hand.
The leaker had lost too much blood and died.
Xie Yao looked at the dead leaker with deep eyes, narrowed her eyes slightly, and then looked at the Gu refiner who was also dead.
