After several times, Zhai Yu could not restrain his inner desire and said to Chu Qing: "Can I shake it?"
Of course there is no problem with this. Chu Qing doesn't want to shake this anyway. He thinks it's quite silly. This is definitely the stupidest thing he has ever done.
Hearing Zhai Yu's question, Chu Qing put the dragon needle into Zhai Yu's hand without saying a word and motioned for Zhai Yu to lead the way. He was just enjoying himself.
Zhai Yu was quite leisurely along the way, and now he asked for an errand for himself. It was still such an important and meaningful thing, so of course he was overjoyed and walked to the front of the team excitedly.
Holding the purple bamboo in his hand, Chu Qing shook it once after walking for more than a hundred steps, while Zhai Yu shook it once after taking two steps, and it didn't feel boring after taking two steps.
Anyway, when the dragon needle was in Zhai Yu's hand, the buzzing sound never stopped in everyone's ears, because Zhai Yu not only shook it with high frequency, but also shook it very hard, and the dragon's whiskers streaked through the air, making a buzzing sound. the sound of.
Just like this, the big guy was gone for a while. He had already lost his way while wandering around in the mountains. Now he relied on the dragon needle in Zhai Yu's hand to point him in the right direction. Chu Qing didn't know where he was now. The area around Yunjiang was mostly sparsely populated primitive dense forests.
The surrounding trees alone are each thirty or forty meters high, and each is as thick as a bucket. It is early summer, the leaves are lush, and the woods are gloomy. The canopy of trees overhead covered the sky, and the surrounding trees were almost the same.
Even if you have a good sense of direction, you will still get lost in a place like this without a compass. When Chu Qing and the others came, they naturally brought a compass, but they didn't need it yet. We would use it when they went out.
Now they just need to follow Zhai Yu wholeheartedly. Everyone in the dense forest is in a hurry, so except for the rustling footsteps, there is no other sound.
Click~buzz~hiss...
When three distinctive voices sounded one after another, Chu Qing instantly became vigilant, his heart skipped a beat, he stretched out his hand to drag Zhai Yu in front of him to the back, then let out a sword energy and hit him head-on from the dense forest. crossbow arrows.
The first sound just now was when Zhai Yu stepped on the mechanism, the second sound was when a crossbow arrow was shot out and the bowstring vibrated, and the third sound was when the crossbow arrow pierced the sky.
Chu Qing's sword energy hit the crossbow arrow, and the wooden crossbow arrow was smashed into sawdust three steps away from Chu Qing, falling to the ground with a rustle, and emitting a strange smell at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other and held their breaths in unison. The crossbow arrows were quenched with poison, and it was quite toxic. Chu Qing took over Zhai Yu's role and took everyone away from here.
After walking out of the attack range of the crossbow, Gong Shu spoke out and told an impossible fact: "There is someone here."
At first glance, this seems impossible, because this is a primitive dense forest where no one has come for hundreds of years. Even if there are hunters, they will not go deep here, nor will they go deep into it, nor will they go deep into it, nor will they go deep into it, nor will they go deep into it, nor will they go deep into it. possible.
In short, in everyone's habitual thinking, there can be no one here, but the appearance of this crossbow arrow seems to be the owner here, announcing his existence.
Except for humans, no other animal can lay out such a trap, and judging from the power of this crossbow arrow, it can hurt at least a third- and fourth-level martial artist. This is no longer set up to deal with ordinary beasts.
Its target is human beings, and it is human warriors who may reach here. In other words, that person also comes to find the Dragon Nest. This crossbow arrow is designed to deal with Qingjiao. This thought flashed through Chu Qing's mind, and immediately He shook his head again.
He remembered that once in Fuhantan, Mengzui hit the green dragon with Wangchuan, but it didn't even penetrate the green dragon's dragon scales. Trying to hurt the green dragon with this crossbow arrow was tantamount to a fool's dream, so now, he only The previous possibility remains.
But why is this? Why do people who have been here or live here have so much hostility towards those who come after us
Chu Qing originally thought that this trip would be easier, but now it seems that it is no less dangerous than going down the Yunjiang River.
What Gong Shu said was what everyone was thinking. Everyone's originally relaxed heartstrings suddenly became tense. This time Zhai Yu took the initiative to return the dragon needle to Chu Qing, letting Chu Qing lead the way.
That crossbow arrow just now scared him so much that his heart was still pounding. Chu Qing had to go to this dragon's lair, so no matter how dangerous the road ahead was, they had to go on.
This time it was Chu Qing who walked in front. While exploring the way, Chu Qing cheered up and paid attention to the movements around him. He walked for a long time, during which everyone stopped and had something to eat.
After walking through the mountain forest where the crossbow arrow was, everyone returned to calm along the way, as if the crossbow arrow was a joke played by God on them.
But Chu Qing and the others never dared to relax at all. If they were not careful, they would die. Finally, when it was dark, Chu Qing found another clue in the mountains and forests.
It was a drop of blood that fell on the grass. Chu Qing and the others would not have passed anywhere on their original route, but Chu Qing had much more combat experience than the others, and his consciousness was always wandering around his body.
So the first one discovered the drop of blood thirty or forty meters away from them. Chu Qing raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. Then he approached the drop of blood, and Gong Shu followed Chu Qing.
The two of them squatted down in front of the drop of blood. Chu Qing picked off the blade of grass with his hands. The blood stains on the grass blade were in the shape of droplets. They were not scratched, but dripped from the body.
The blood droplets were jet black and had not yet condensed. Chu Qing judged from this that the injured person should have been hit by the kind of crossbow arrow they encountered before. The crossbow arrow was poisonous, so the blood was black.
The blood has not yet coagulated, and the wine shows that the person left here not long ago. These are not the important points. The important point is that it also illustrates a very crucial fact. That is, there is more than one person here, and there is more than one group of people. If you count them, there are at least three groups of people here now.
The one who laid the trap was one group, and the one who fell into the trap was another group. The reason is very simple. No one would be stupid enough to be hurt by the trap they set. Chu Qing was still wondering before, who was setting the trap here for what
Now it seems that in this vast mountain, some people are hunting, some are preying, and now there is a group of them. The sea here is really busy.
"I'll go take a look around, you stay here." Chu Qing ordered Gong Shu.
Gong Shu disagreed: "I'll go take a look, you stay."
Chu Qing didn't say anything, just shook the blade of grass in his hand.
Gong Shu had nothing to say now, because Chu Qing was telling her that he was the one who discovered the blood stains on the blades of grass. Without him, she wouldn't even be able to spot the blood stains. Would she gain anything by chasing her out
With the facts before her eyes, Gong Shu could only admit that Chu Qing was better than her in this aspect. When Chu Qing left, she shouted out of nowhere: "Be careful!"
This sudden concern made Chu Qing very uncomfortable. He always felt that there was something strange there. Before Chu Qing could think about it, he found a second drop of blood dozens of meters away from the drop of blood.
It seemed that the man was seriously injured, and it seemed that he had no intention of covering his tracks. This was just right, saving Chu Qing trouble, and he followed him all the way.
After following for several miles, at the foot of a mountain ridge, I finally caught up with the person, or to be precise, caught up with her body. The person was already dead, and not only was she dead, her body was also buried within a few short seconds. They all rotted away within ten minutes.
This had something to do with the poison she was poisoned with. This kind of poison was so overbearing. The man's body was lying on his back. Chu Qing found a branch, turned the man's body over and checked it.
Chu Qing was not surprised that this person was a woman, because only warriors could and dared to enter the depths of this dense forest, and the most indispensable thing in the world was women.
The muscles on this woman's face had turned black, and the rotten flesh had fallen off in some places, as if she had been dead for several months. Chu Qing could not see her appearance clearly.
Apart from some equipment for survival in the wild, this woman had nothing special. She didn't even have an identity document or the logo of a certain family or sect.
