This is a crucial clue, but for the sake of their subsequent plans, they cannot mobilize a large force to search for it, and must sneak into Daye Mountain to search secretly.
Mu Qiao went into Daye Mountain first. She had a strong ability to survive in the wild, but she was alone and outnumbered, so the area she could search was limited.
Qiao Lubai privately summoned Li Song and Meng Qiancheng. After receiving the order, the two left the camp quietly and went up to Daye Mountain.
In private, Qiao Lubai gave Yang Jing a strict order, "I have to go out of the camp to do some things these days. You should pay attention to everyone in the special service team, especially Qiao Tianyue. Don't let him have too much contact with Mu Qing. If they are still in contact, you will be the first one to be punished when I return to the camp!"
Yang Jing was a little confused and felt very innocent, but she still did as she was told.
Who told Deputy Captain Qiao to be a superior and a reinforcer? How could she not accept it?
The legendary Daye Mountain is the largest mountain outside Yishui City. It consists of five mountains with undulating peaks and winding paths, each one higher than the other, competing for supremacy.
Mu Qiao had been here for the whole morning and had only climbed over two hills. Both mountains were low mountain areas, without any dark forests or any traces left by the kidnappers.
Based on Mu Qiao's many years of military experience, she felt that the kidnappers would choose the most hidden and dark Danfeng Forest in Daye Mountain.
...
...
Danfenglin is the most dangerous of the five mountains in Daye Mountain. The forest is dense and lush, and there are wild beasts everywhere. I heard that a hunter was bitten to death by a poisonous snake not long ago.
Most hunters don’t dare to approach Danfeng Forest. Is this hunter who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake a real hunter?
Mu Qiao was very suspicious about this. She calculated the time of the rumor and it seemed to coincide with the time when Qiao Tianyue was kidnapped and his substitute was killed.
Maybe the hunter in this rumor is not a real hunter, but a kidnapper.
With this suspicion, Mu Qiao took out the prepared realgar wine and smeared it on himself before entering Danfeng Forest.
There are not only poisonous snakes in the Danfeng Forest, but also birds and beasts. Mu Qiao is well aware of the rules of survival in the jungle, and also knows how to avoid ferocious beasts and sneak into the mountains.
Birds and beasts are the masters of the jungle, and they are afraid of other creatures entering. In particular, their hearing is extremely sensitive. In order not to alarm them, Mu Qiao added some soft grass under his military boots. It was soft when stepped on, and the noise was much smaller.
As soon as he entered the Danfeng Forest, Mu Qiao felt like he had entered a black forest outside the country.
The Danfeng Forest is full of towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves. The sunlight is blocked by the leaves and cannot penetrate into the forest at all, making it seem eerie and scary everywhere.
Mu Qiao took out his saber and groped around in the dim light, leaving a few traces wherever he passed.
She was afraid that she would get lost, and was also worried that Deputy Captain Qiao would send someone over and wouldn't be able to find her, so she left a mark.
But she found that these marks put her into a vicious circle, going back and forth and returning to the starting point.
All the communication devices on Mu Qiao's body had no signal. He could not contact the outside world, nor could he go out. He could only lean against the tree to think.
She went from south to north and back, and finally returned to the starting point. She went from east to west and back, and finally returned to the starting point.
This was the first time that Mu Qiao had ever gotten lost. It was as if she had entered a maze. No matter which direction she went, the final destination was still the starting point.
Why would the kidnappers choose a place like this to hide people? Aren't they afraid of getting lost in there?
Lost?!
Mu Qiao suddenly thought of something. She took out a flashlight and began to search tree by tree. Perhaps these trees had the answers she wanted.
Sure enough, Mu Qiao saw a mark that was not left by her. It was three bars, carved very weakly. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
Mu Qiao followed the three bars all the way down, but this time he did not return to the starting point, but came to a bottomless cliff.
Mu Qiao saw a wooden sign on the cliff with two words carved on it: "Help!"
Mu Qiao was shocked and took a few steps closer to the edge of the cliff. He saw a shoe on the edge of the cliff, a men's shoe, about size 42.
Mu Qiao checked Qiao Tianyue's characteristics and also saw Qiao Tianyue's shoe size in the special forces recruitment information, which was size 42.
From this we can see that Qiao Tianyue was kidnapped to Danfenglin by the kidnappers. No one knows what happened, but the kidnapper was bitten by a snake, and Qiao Tianyue ran away, but he did not escape as he was pushed off the cliff by the kidnappers.
This was not Mu Qiao's speculation, but there were traces of fighting and footprints on the edge of the cliff.
Mu Qiao measured these footprints, made comparisons and assessments, and concluded that there were probably more than two kidnappers who intercepted Qiao Tianyue on the edge of the cliff.
Although Qiao Tianyue was very skilled, he was no match for four people. After falling into a disadvantage, Qiao Tianyue did not get scared and jumped off the cliff without hesitation.
The cliff was unfathomable. Mu Qiao took out the Flying Tiger Claw and climbed down. She wanted to go down and see whether Qiao Tianyue was dead or alive.
Not long after, Meng Qiancheng and Li Song entered Danfeng Forest. They entered a vicious circle according to the marks left by Mu Qiao.
"Mr. Meng, Mr. Mu's mark is unreliable. It's still the same starting point after moving around!" Li Song, who has a bad temper, kept yelling all the way.
Meng Qiancheng was originally very quiet, but now he became a little impatient because of Li Song's noise.
"You just keep making noise. Look carefully at the marks. Maybe the clue is right in front of us, but we've overlooked it."
As soon as Meng Qiancheng finished speaking, Li Song shouted, "Boss Meng, look!"
Meng Qiancheng was startled by Li Song and rolled his eyes at him. Li Song smiled and pointed at three inconspicuous marks on a tree and said, "There are different marks here."
Meng Qiancheng walked over quickly, checked, took out a flashlight from his backpack, and followed the mark.
Soon, Meng Qiancheng and Li Song arrived at the cliff.
There was a stone on the cliff, and underneath it was a piece of paper with a few lines of words written on it.
"These are the words left by Master Mu." Li Song picked up the paper and took a look. It was written in German. Li Song said he couldn't see it and handed it directly to Meng Qiancheng.
Meng Qiancheng is fluent in eight languages. He took the note and looked at it carefully: "I am Mu Qiao. I suspect Qiao Tianyue was forced to jump off the cliff by the kidnappers. I will go down to investigate first."
Li Song asked curiously, "Mr. Meng, what does this note say?"
Meng Qiancheng rolled his eyes at Li Song and scolded him, "I asked you to learn German, but you just didn't learn it. Are you dumbfounded now?"
"So this is German, I've learned it, how come..." Li Song took the note and looked at it left and right, looking confused and aggrieved, which amused Meng Qiancheng.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Meng Qiancheng told the truth. After hearing this, Li Song suggested climbing down the cliff to support Master Mu in case the kidnappers were also looking for someone down there and Master Mu couldn't handle it alone.
Meng Qiancheng thought it made sense, and the two of them took out their Flying Tiger Claws and climbed down the cliff.
The cliff is a hundred feet high, and below it is a bottomless pool of water.
Mu Qiao measured and concluded that if Qiao Tianyue jumped off the cliff and fell into a deep pool of water, he would be able to escape based on his skills and swimming ability.
There were footprints of no less than four people around the pool. In addition to these people's footprints, there were also footprints of some wild animals.
