Chapter 437 Played a mantis catching a cicada with us
On cloudy days, the light in the forest is dimmer.
After Bai Xiaofeng treated the old man's wound, he put him back on his back with great reluctance.
"Oh? You really carried me on your back? Little man, your back is stained with blood! This old man remembers that I didn't take a shower or wash my hair yesterday. I rolled around in the mausoleum several times. I sat on a tree for a while just now, so maybe there's some tree sap, insect silk, or bird droppings on my back..."
"Shut up!"
"Why are you so fierce? I'm just giving you a heads up so you don't bring up the past later. This time, you have to carry the old man on your back, not me!"
Bai Xiaofeng's face was dark, and he wanted to take the old man off his back.
A finger poked his shoulder, and the old man's gossipy voice rang in his ears again, "That Chu Tianxing is your senior brother? Did you two get along when you were in the sect? How did he learn your sect's forbidden technique? He said that the last forbidden technique of your sect is in your hands. What is it? Is it more powerful than the Iron Man? Hey Bai Xiaofeng, what's the matter with the deserter? Why did you become the sect's bear? And you-"
Bai Xiaofeng snapped his fingers, and the old man who was asking a thousand questions suddenly tilted his head and became quiet.
After a while, snoring sounds were heard.
Bai Xiaofeng, "..."
He lifted the old man up and walked very steadily.
The hidden arrow came too fast, and he was distracted by Chu Tianxing and didn't notice it for a moment. If the old man hadn't rushed over, the hidden arrow would have hit his vest.
A stinky old man who is obviously afraid of death.
Bai Xiaofeng pursed his lips. After walking out of the red maple forest, the light was hazy, illuminating the warm color floating in his eyes.
In front, several figures flew over one after another.
"Godfather!"
"Uncle Changdong! How are you? Are you hurt?"
"What happened to Grandpa Du?"
The children are all here.
Without wasting a moment, Bai Xiaofeng immediately hung the snoring old man on Wang Bai's back.
Wang Bai's eyes moved, and he shook his shoulders and wanted to throw the man to the ground, but was held back by the man.
"Wang Bai, you attacked without distinguishing friend from foe in the mausoleum, forcing that old idiot to roll several times on the ground. Shouldn't you carry him on your back?" The man smiled, his grip on his shoulder not loosening at all. "I, the old man, often burns incense for you."
Wang Bai's eyes froze, and he reached out to support the old man with an expressionless face.
The old man was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of this little episode, and continued snoring.
Boys and girls, "..."
The old man's gray clothes were stained with blood, half wet and half dry, sticking to his skin. The wound had been treated with medicine to stop the bleeding, and there was no sign of poisoning.
Tian Bao checked it once and felt relieved before asking about the real matter, "Godfather, did Chu Tianxing escape?"
Bai Xiaofeng hummed, "It's okay, he won't be able to escape for long. I'll find him soon."
Su Wu was surprised. "Uncle Changdong, he has already run away. No one knows where he went. How can we catch him?"
"When I fought him, I put a tracking incense on him that lasted twelve hours. The old man must have poisoned him as well. Even if the tracking incense doesn't work, he'll come looking for me if I want to detoxify him and save his life." Bai Xiaofeng raised his lips in a sarcastic arc and looked back at the red maple forest. "Chu Tianxing is forging the iron man in the imperial mausoleum. His residence must be not too far from here. Letting him go will allow us to find his lair. Those iron men that have been forged but not yet sent away should also be placed there."
Bai Yu paused for a moment after hearing this. "Before we left the mausoleum, the five people we captured were silenced, suggesting there's another group involved. Whether they're in cahoots with Chu Tianxing remains to be determined, but they're definitely our enemies, not our friends. Things are getting increasingly complicated. Godfather, we'd better give chase now. If someone else is truly involved, we need to do this now. I'm afraid if we're too late, our clues will be lost."
"Then let's split up into two groups. Uncle Changdong, you guys go track down Chu Tianxing, and the rest of us stay here to take care of Grandpa Du." Xiao Maisui suggested, and she, Bing'er, and Su Wu stayed behind.
On the one hand, Grandpa Du needs to be taken care of. On the other hand, the three of them have the weakest kung fu among their companions. If they really have to fight against masters, they will be held back. It is better for them to stay.
The division of labor was agreed upon and everyone was busy with their own tasks.
Bai Xiaofeng took out a finger-sized bamboo tube from his body and opened the lid. In a moment, a small white butterfly flew out of the bamboo tube, flapped its wings twice, and flew south.
"This is a scent-seeking butterfly. Follow it and you can find Chu Tianxing's whereabouts." Bai Xiaofeng said.
Bai Yu suddenly realized, "Godfather, you like to use incense. Besides your own enjoyment, you also want to avoid being easily noticed when using the Ecstasy Incense, right? After all, it's a preconceived notion. You already have a nice scent, so if another scent is mixed in during a fight, it won't be abrupt. Others will just think it's the scent coming from your clothes."
"You're so smart. Stop talking nonsense and follow me."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Su An and Su Wen followed closely, pulling at Uncle Changdong's sleeves from the left and right, "Uncle Changdong, this thing is useful. Let us two little butterflies play with it?"
Bai Xiaofeng pulled back his sleeves and said coldly, "What are you dreaming about? This is one of the tracking techniques of Wangque Tower. Are you two from Wangque Tower?"
"Uncle Changdong, it's too formal to say that. You and I are as close as uncle and nephew!"
"Get lost, you two are just as unreliable as your father!"
“…”
The noisy sounds gradually faded away as the little white butterfly flew away.
Looking back and passing through the red maple forest, there is a trickling stream three miles away. After going around the dense thorny bushes on the left side of the stream, you will suddenly see a cave.
There are dense weeds and vines growing wildly on both sides of the cave entrance. If you don't pay attention to the path trampled on the ground, it would be difficult to find that there is a cave entrance here.
The little white butterfly lingered at the entrance of the cave for a moment, and when it was about to fly into the cave, Bai Xiaofeng took it back and put it back into the small bamboo tube.
"This is it." He lowered his eyes.
Tianbao walked in before him and said, "I'll be the first."
"Godfather, as usual, you'll be the last one to leave." Bai Yu lowered his voice and smiled as he pushed the man back a little.
Later, Su An and Su Wen followed suit and stepped forward, grinning and showing their white teeth.
Looking at the children's backs, Bai Xiaofeng's eyes showed warmth again, but a sneer came out of his mouth, and he couldn't change his venomous tongue, "Am I old enough to need you to take care of me?"
The girl walking in front pretended not to hear.
The three brats pinched his waist and shook his buttocks at him.
“…”You bastards.
Just after walking a dozen steps into the cave, the group felt something was wrong.
The air was thick with the smell of blood, so thick that it was nauseating.
Tian Bao's eyes darkened, and he threw off his cautiousness and rushed directly into the depths of the cave. "Fresh blood! Someone in the cave has just been killed!"
Bai Yu cursed directly, "I'm afraid we are really late."
The entire cave is gourd-shaped, narrow outside and wide inside.
There was no light in the cave, so the light was dim, but the corpses on the ground were still clearly visible, and the scene was horrifying.
"Just like the five people who were silenced in the mausoleum, they were all killed on sight. Judging from their black clothing and masked faces, they must be Chu Tianxing's accomplices." Bai Yu's heart sank. "It seems there really is a third party involved, playing a mantis stalking cicada game with us!"
