The two of them chatted wordlessly, and after a while of moving forward again, several thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and it started to rain.
Ye Yuxi and Qing'er put on the hats and raincoats they had prepared and continued to move forward.
"Stop!" Ye Yuxi raised her hand and suddenly stopped.
Qing'er, who was following behind, stopped and whispered to Ye Yuxi in front, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Shhh—
Ye Yuxi made a silent gesture and sent a message to Qing'er in her heart: "Be careful, two waves of people just passed by here."
Qing'er walked forward and looked at the footprints in front of her. There were some messy footprints on the ground, but how did the young lady judge that there were two groups of people
Qing'er asked the lady in her heart: "Miss, there are only a bunch of footprints on the ground. How can we tell that there are two groups of people?"
Ye Yuxi held her short sword, the Soul-Eating Blade, in her hand, leaned over and picked up a piece of grass from the ground, and brought it to Qing'er.
"Several grass blades here have been cut off by someone with a knife. They should have been left by someone from the group of people in front. Some of the footprints on the ground are relatively incomplete, and some are relatively new, which proves that there are spiritual beasts such as snakes coming from here. Passing by, the previous footprints were destroyed. If they were the same group of people, then all the footprints should be incomplete."
After Ye Yuxi explained to Qing'er, she took out two pieces of black gauze from the space ring and handed one to Qing'er, "Hide your face, hold your weapons, and be careful."
Qing'er nodded and continued walking forward with Ye Yuxi, but this time, the two of them walked a little faster.
Ye Yuxi originally thought this was a coincidence, but after climbing a mountain, despite the heavy rain, he could still vaguely see the footprints on the ground, which made Ye Yuxi pay more attention to it.
Judging from the direction of the opponent's footprints, the purpose of the two groups in front is obvious, the Serpentine Mountains.
The Tianshan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles and are extremely wide. It is even said that in the depths of the mountains, there are spiritual beasts that surpass the ninth level of spiritual beings. In order to distinguish the terrain in the mountains, people have given some distinctive features to the mountains in the Tianshan Mountains. With names all their own, the Serpentine Mountains are one of them.
"stop!"
Ye Yuxi raised her hand again, and the two stopped.
Hiss—hiss—
This time, Ye Yuxi didn't need to explain the situation. Qing'er had already seen the scene in front of him. Not far ahead, two big white snakes were dragging a corpse squirming toward the grass. Judging from the clothes on the corpse, it was someone's. A mercenary from a mercenary group.
"Let's go." Ye Yuxi sent a message to Qing'er in her heart. When they moved forward again, the speed of the two of them slowed down a bit.
After crossing another mountain, the rain became much lighter.
The sound of weapons clashing came from the forest ahead.
"Miss, it seems to be the young man in the inn." Qing'er and Ye Yuxi jumped to the top of the tree, looking down at the battle below.
Ye Yuxi also discovered that the people fighting below looked familiar. Not only did the young master look familiar, but the people watching them turned out to be the mercenaries from the previous tables at the Tianshan Inn.
Ye Yuxi originally speculated that these mercenaries were invited by the elegant young master to escort him, but now it seems that his inference was wrong. Those mercenaries have been following here, intending to seek wealth and death.
"Miss, can we help?" Qing'er looked at the situation below. Although the elegant young master was powerful, he was almost unable to withstand it.
Ye Yuxi also kept looking at the situation below with cold eyes. The old man in the inn before was not present at this time. There were only the elegant young master and two followers. Although the three of them were not weak, they were still a little weak in the face of more than a dozen mercenaries. It was hard, surrounded by those mercenaries in the center, unable to escape.
