After Richard disappeared for a long time, Jasmine looked at Su and said, "Wind."
"Yes." Su nodded, stretched out his hands, and the surrounding air turned into strong wind and blew around.
Half a minute later, Su reported back: "He did leave."
"That's good." Jasmine said.
The rest of the people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but murmur.
Hulk opened his swollen mouth, which was slightly leaking, and said in the direction where Richard left: "Isn't this guy a fool? Is he really not interested in the energy furnace at all?"
"Hmph." His companion mocked unceremoniously, "If he is a fool, you are worse than a fool. At least he knows how to walk."
"But, I know how important the energy furnace is." Hulk defended, "This is better than him!"
"Okay, okay." Jasmine didn't want her subordinates to start a quarrel, so she decisively stopped it. Then she looked to Xizhe and asked, "Mr. Xizhe, what do you think of this matter?"
"Me... Ahem..." Xizhe coughed a few times and pondered for a while, "In my opinion, the guy who left was not stupid at all, on the contrary, he was very smart. The reason why he did not plot the energy furnace should be Is there something we’re missing?”
"What's missing? What is it?"
"I don't know, otherwise I wouldn't be confused." Xizhe shook his head, "Well, no matter what, the energy furnace is now in our hands. I believe that no matter what we miss, it will not be more important than the energy furnace. , so... let him go, let's just do our own thing."
"Um."
Xizhe said: "Let's leave and start preparing the fusion process of the energy furnace. This will take a long time. Only when it is completed can we do the next step."
"Yes." Everyone nodded and left towards the north with solemn expressions.
After walking for a while, Xizhe said to Jasmine: "After I return, I will take a good rest for a period of time. The length may vary. I may not be able to participate in the next action. You must be prepared, my captain."
After hearing the words, Jasmine's steps stagnated slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. She glanced at the others and found that they hadn't noticed, so she lowered her voice and replied, "I know."
As she spoke, her hands trembled slightly, and she felt extremely uneasy inside. Because she knew that what Xizhe meant when he said these words was much more serious than it seemed.
Her previous concerns in the ruins... were confirmed.
But as a captain, she couldn't panic. She took a deep breath and led the team forward without saying anything, leaving the river bank and disappearing to the north.
…
A few hours after Jasmine and her group left, the setting sun kissed the mountains like blood.
"Gugu...Gugu..."
In the golden afterglow of the setting sun, a white dove flew over and landed on a tree on the river bank. It turned around and barked at the way it came, as if urging.
"I know, I know!"
An impatient voice sounded, and Bibi came over.
At this time, there was still some burgundy color on her face that had not faded away, and she was still a little dizzy, which made her temper a little irritable.
He walked under the tree, rolled his eyes and looked at the white dove, and said: "Okay, stop barking, you will disturb me to death. What are you so anxious about? Can the person you are chasing still run away?"
"snort!"
Breathing out from her small and exquisite nose, Bibi shook the tree trunk in confusion, which frightened the white pigeons on the tree to tremble and stopped calling. Only then was Bibi satisfied.
"Let me see where the escaped guy is!" Bibi's expression became serious, her eyes lit up with cherry red light, and she turned her head to look straight ahead.
Then the neck turns to the left.
Ninety degrees, one hundred and eighty degrees, two hundred and seventy degrees, three hundred and sixty degrees.
In just one second, Bibi's entire head turned around and returned to its original position.
"Huh? Didn't find it?" After turning her head back, Bibi frowned, and then turned her head again.
One lap, two laps, three laps...
Bibi's head kept turning, and in the end it was almost like a top, spinning for half a minute before stopping.
After shaking her body, Bibi turned her slightly tilted head back to its original position with a very confused expression.
"Still not found, shouldn't be..."
After saying that, Bibi thought of something and took a deep breath. A large amount of air from all around rushed into her mouth and was continuously swallowed, making her feel the tracking breath.
"Have you ever stayed here for a while, but then left again... He left very quickly, his breath was somewhat interrupted, and it is difficult to continue tracking, then..." Bibi said to herself.
At the end of the soliloquy, Bibi frowned, looked at the pigeon on the tree, and scolded: "It's all your fault, stupid pigeon. If you had been faster, you could have caught him!"
Pigeon: "..." He was stunned for a while, and then he called out "coo coo" in dissatisfaction.
Bibi was furious after hearing this, and refuted with wide eyes: "Nonsense, it's all your fault, don't worry about me!"
Pigeon: "Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo!"
Bibi: "Impossible. When did I make a mistake? It's clearly you who made the mistake."
Pigeon: "Cuckoo..." But before it was halfway through its call, Bibi was so angry that she shook the tree again, and was so scared that she quickly shut up.
"Humph, you know how powerful it is." Bibi said to the pigeon proudly, "If you know how powerful it is, tell me quickly, where did the breath go?"
Pigeon: "..." remained silent.
"Don't know?" Bibi rolled her eyes, "Humph, I knew you were useless. As expected, you still have to rely on me at this time."
After saying this, Bibi jumped up from the ground, easily jumped to the same height as the pigeon, reached out and broke a branch from the tree.
After folding, he squatted on the ground, stood up the branch, and showed a very pious expression.
He opened and closed his mouth, chanting obscure incantations.
"Go wherever you fall."
"Wherever you fall..."
"fall… "
After reciting the spell carefully three times, Bibi let go, and the branch fell straight in one direction.
She raised her head and glanced in the direction where the branch fell, and Bibi walked forward without hesitation.
"This is the direction!"
But after walking for a while, I felt something was wrong, and I frowned deeply.
After walking hundreds of meters, Bibi couldn't help but stop, tilted her head and said with some awareness: "Why do I always feel that this road is a bit familiar, this book, this stone, this... Hey, isn't this the road I just walked? !”
Yes, she went the way she came!
Bibi: “…”
There was silence for a while, and he walked back to the tree angrily, picked up the branches again, and recited a new spell.
"Point me in the right direction."
"Point to me..."
"refer to… "
After a few seconds, he loosened his grip and the branch fell in the other direction.
After taking a look and confirming that this was not the way he came, Bibi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is this right? This is the direction in which the target is escaping. I just don't know how far he will run. Let's look for it."
"Stupid pigeon, keep up!"
After finishing her words, Bibi walked towards the southeast - the direction where Richard left.
