Book 2: Chapter 23.2: Ding Jiang Mountain
Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei followed the villager’s guidance to enter the mountain from the same road as the demon.
Not long after walking along the mountain road, Zuo Yanfei keenly discovered some trails. According to Zuo Yanfei ’s tracking, the footprints of those demons disappeared in the wood on the side of the mountain road, so Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei also had to give up the flat mountain road, split the thorns on both sides of the road, and chased down the trail left by the demons.
The two followed the trail of the fox demon and gradually went into the forested area where no one had entered. Zuo Yanfei led the way agilely in front and from time to time helped Ruowei Tang, who also had to walk in a skirt, to give Tang Ruowei knowledge of the hunters about how to survive in the mountains.
For example, what kind of fruit was edible, what kind of grass could heal and detoxify, what kind of leaves could easily ignite, etc. After a while, Zuo Yanfei’s image in Tang Ruowei’s eyes gradually changed from a majestic female general into a primitive woman in the jungle, her silver spear actually gave the girl the illusion of “is that a stone spear?”
However, Zuo Yanfei’s tracking ability was indeed good. She took Tang Ruowei to run around in Dingjiang Mountain, still biting the trail of those demons firmly.
It’s just that the trail of these monsters seems to be drifting out of the mountain.
“They are in circles.”
Zuo Yanfei said:
“Cunning little foxes.”
Except for Zuo Yanfei, Tang Ruowei estimated that the cultivators who hunted them should not have tracked the skills of foxes by footsteps. These demons’ plan must be using Dingjiang Mountain to confuse cultivators who were hunting them, and then escape.
However, this blinding method was useless to Zuo Yanfei. She followed the traces of the foxes all the way to the place where the foxes really hide.
“It’s here?”
Tang Ruowei blinked, looking at the huge stone statue about fifty meters high.
“Those foxes are under the stone statue of the previous emperor?”
Zuo Yanfei turned around the emperor’s stone statue, then pointed to a position behind the stone platform under his feet and said:
“Here, foxes generally live in tree holes or earth caves. This hole must have been made by them.”
“Oh, that’s it, it turns out they are hiding here.”
“Yeah … huh?”
Zuo Yanfei responded subconsciously before noticed that the sound was different. She looked up and found that Bai Qiuran was standing behind her and Tang Ruowei, touching his chin and looking curiously at the hole on the ground.
“Brother Bai? How did you come here?”
Zuo Yanfei surprised.
She and Tang Ruowei depended on Tang Ruowei’s unique Earth Escape Technique to come from the capital to Dingjiang Mountain in such a fast time. “Brother Bai” was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator, how did he do that?
“Uh …”
Tang Ruowei began to think hard about how to fool Zuo Yanfei.
“Oh, when senior sister left before, she left me a message with the secret method of Qingming Sword Sect.”
Bai Qiuran told a lie smoothly.
“As a result, after you two left, I happened to meet a Golden Core senior brother who just happens to pass by the Ding Kingdom. I asked him to bring me over. Senior sister, you remember Brother Jue Yun, right?”
“It turned out that Brother Jue Yun brought you over, then that’s okay.”
Tang Ruowei immediately followed Bai Qiuran:
“The message is indeed my preparation. Brother Jue Yun is a high master, he indeed can bring Brother Bai here before us.”
“Is that so?”
Zuo Yanfei suppressed her doubts.
“Then it’s your sect’s internal affairs, I don’t ask anymore. But Brother Bai, you must follow up with us. There is a group of cultivators nearby who are also hunting with these monsters. They are bad people.”
“Understood.”
Bai Qiuran smiled and replied:
“Thank you Sister Zuo for your concern.”
“Okay, now, follow us.”
Zuo Yanfei looked at the cave and said to Tang Ruowei:
“Ruowei …”
“Leave it to me.”
Tang Ruowei reached out and grabbed Zuo Yanfei’s shoulder. After thinking about it, she extended another hand and grabbed Bai Qiuran. Then she took a deep breath, activated the Earth Escape Technique, and the three sunk into the ground.
