Chapter 221 Uninvited Guest
In the process of approaching the purple bamboo forest, Fengyun adopted a series of means of concealing his whereabouts to prevent the enemy from discovering his existence.
He wants to collect more information.
In the distance, although with the help of the snake god's eye, he obtained a lot of first-hand information, but he still didn't understand some situations, so he needed to come closer for reconnaissance.
In addition, now is not the best time for him to launch an attack on the enemy. At least before making a move, he should go to see the witch, one is to understand the situation, and the other is to see if they can cooperate.
In order to maximize his destructive power, accurate and detailed intelligence and cooperation with friendly forces are very important.
As for how to meet the witch, Fengyun was not worried.
Previously, Mulanzhi had told him the secret road leading to the Baicao Tribe, and he had walked through it himself, so it was no problem to sneak into the Baicao Tribe secretly.
Of course, he may need to take some risks.
Now, outside the Purple Bamboo Forest is already the world of the Black Crow King and his subordinates.
However, Feng Yun was not worried that the Black Crow King would discover the secret passage, and even he and his men would deliberately avoid it.
The knife ants are very fierce. Once they invade their territory, they will attack you regardless of whether you are the tyrant of Lei Ze.
Besides, the Black Crow King didn't know that the ant mound of the sword ants was a secret passageway, so there was no need to fight them for this and grab the territory. Anyway, the place is huge, so there is no need to worry about having no place to stay.
Approaching the anthill, Fengyun found that his prediction was correct, there was no one around it at all, and there was no trace of anyone coming.
Fengyun still didn't rush over immediately, but looked around, and even activated the snake god's eyes in the end.
He didn't dare to be careless in any way.
The witch and Mulanzhi would tell him the secret way out of trust in him. He cannot live up to that trust.
More importantly, this secret path is too important to the Baicao tribe, especially the Baicao tribe at this moment.
Now it and its reinforcements are able to contend against the army led by the Black Crow King. A large part of the reason is that the existence of the purple bamboo forest slows down the pace of the enemy.
If the Black Crow King knew about the existence of the secret passage, he would definitely choose to sneak into the Baicao tribe through it.
in this battle. The Baicao Tribe and its reinforcements were already at a disadvantage. If they were infiltrated by the enemy, a surprise attack from the inside would undoubtedly lead to defeat.
After confirming that there was no one around, Fengyun took out the medicinal powder that Mulanzhi gave him, sprinkled some on his body, and tried not to let it fall to the ground.
If the powder falls somewhere, it is easy to leave traces, which may reveal the location of the secret passage. In addition, Mulanzhi gave him less medicinal powder, so he needed to use it sparingly.
With the help of the medicine powder, he successfully deceived the ant colony, and Fengyun came to the opening of the ant hill, which is also the entrance of the secret passage, but before entering the secret passage, he deliberately looked around again.
He came to the secret passage and moved forward quickly. After a short time, I came to the other end of the secret road.
before opening the secret door. Fengyun first listened carefully, but he didn't find any suspicious sounds before walking out.
Fengyun looked around,
It was found to be very quiet around, with almost no people in sight.
He nodded, everyone should have gone to fight the Black Crow King's men.
Suddenly he frowned.
He found he had a problem.
He entered the Baicao Tribe through a secret passage in order to meet the witch. Now how to meet her has become a difficult problem for him.
Of course, he could go directly to her, and he believed that it would not be difficult for him to find her, but this would bring about a very big problem.
How to dispel the doubts of the Baicao tribe's reinforcements and most of the Baicao tribe's people, he just appeared so abruptly. It's just too suspicious.
What's more terrible is that there are spies planted by the Black Crow King among the reinforcements, and they will definitely find a way to tell him this doubt.
After he learned about it, would he suspect that the Baicao Tribe had a secret passage to the outside world?
Once he had doubts, even if he didn't think that the entrance to the secret passage was hidden in the anthill, he would definitely increase his search and patrol efforts. It would be much more difficult to get in and out of the secret passage, and he would have to take a lot of risks.
After thinking about it, he didn't find any way to get the best of both worlds.
After some weighing, Fengyun decided to sneak into the witch's residence first, and if she came back to rest, he could see her.
Even if she didn't come back, he could wait until night to find her.
After Fengyun entered the small building where the witch lived, he didn't have anything to do, so he didn't feel bored, so he opened the scrolls for drawing pictures and looked at them.
The wind and cloud scroll not only records the content related to medicinal herbs and medicine, but also other content, including the origin of the Baicao tribe.
After reading it, Fengyun discovered that the Baicao tribe was not Lei Ze's original tribe, but an outsider.
It was originally established by a woman from other places, but unfortunately, he did not see too many records about this woman, the ancestor of the Baicao Tribe.
Where did she come from, what was her identity before she came to Lei Ze, why did she come to Lei Ze... nothing is recorded, it just says that her medical skills are very good.
From Fengyun's point of view, she should be deliberately covering up her past.
What supports his suspicion is that, in addition to the above-mentioned irrationality, there is also a very strong evidence,
In the picture scroll, her face is always blurred, it's not that the age is too old, the picture has been eroded, and the characters on the picture with her at the same time have clear faces.
The only reasonable explanation for this happening is that she did it on purpose.
This can't help but make Fengyun curious about the ancestor of the Baicao tribe, but it's just curiosity.
How she wants to do is her business, he is just an outsider.
Besides, even if he knew the truth, so what, would he still go to see her?
She has been dead for an unknown number of years, and now the bones probably don't even exist.
Re-rolled the scroll that recorded the ancestor of the Baicao Tribe, tied it up, put it back in its original place, and picked up the other scrolls to continue reading.
However, after discovering that the content was about the Baicao Tribe, he would mostly put them back in their original place and pick up some picture scrolls recording herbs and medical skills.
He looked at these picture scrolls to pass the time. If he had been reading about the Baicao Tribe all the time, he would inevitably feel that he was spying on people.
Compared with words, pictures can carry much less information and are more intuitive, so Fengyun can read very quickly.
Before he knew it, he had read almost half of the scrolls on the shelf.
Just as he finished reading the contents of a picture scroll, tied it up, put it back to its original place, and was about to pick up a new one, he suddenly heard movement from the direction of the door, as if someone was about to open the door.
"The witch is back?"
Fengyun was overjoyed, and was about to walk outside the house, but he stopped suddenly, and turned his head to look at the place where the leather scroll was placed.
He wanted to see if they were any different from before.
He looked at the scroll without the owner's consent.
Although the witch had told him that he could look at them, it was not good to take them without informing the owner.
"fine."
Fengyun nodded, showing a satisfied expression.
When he took the picture scroll, he thought of this problem, and he paid extra attention to it, and did not leave any flaws.
Fengyun walked out of the room quickly, ready to say hello to the witch, but when he saw her appearance clearly, he couldn't help being stunned.
It was wrong to say that she was actually him, because it was not a witch who entered the room, but a man.
Fengyun's eyesight is very good, he can see his appearance very clearly just by meeting him.
He looks in his early forties, and his facial features are very ordinary. He belongs to the kind that is difficult to be found when thrown in the crowd. The only thing that left a deep impression on Feng Yun was his pair of eyes, which turned out to be gray. There was a chill in it.
"Who are you?"
Fengyun's eyes immediately turned cold.
Although he didn't stay in the Baicao tribe for a long time, the tribe was not big, and he had seen most of them even if they hadn't spoken to them, but in his impression, there was no such middle-aged man.
He is quite confident in his memory, if he really met him, he should remember him.
But for the sake of caution, he didn't attack him immediately. If he was really a member of the Baicao tribe, it would be bad if he was hurt.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Instead of answering Fengyun's question, the middle-aged man asked him a rhetorical question.
In the process, he also stole a glance towards the door.
"He should not be from the Baicao tribe."
Fengyun has been watching the other party's every move, and his little action naturally cannot escape his eyes, and it also makes him more sure that the middle-aged man who sneaked into the witch's house should have nothing to do with the Baicao tribe.
He sneaked a glance at the door, obviously to confirm the situation at the door and facilitate his escape.
If he was a member of the Baicao tribe, why did he think of running away in the first place?
This is the stronghold of the Baicao Tribe, he should be the one to be afraid of.
"Who are you?"
Fengyun's eyes became colder, his tone became more severe, and he made a gesture of attacking.
"I...I...I'm looking for Witch Mu Qiuxia. She's not here, so I'll leave first."
As the middle-aged man walked, he opened the door and retreated.
"You lied. I know your real identity."
Fengyun looked at the middle-aged man with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"What?"
Startled, the middle-aged man subconsciously took out a sharp bone knife from his pocket and stared at Feng Yun with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Don't be nervous. You and I have the same identity, and we both work for the same person. If I'm not mistaken, you came here to find the map of Zizhu Forest, right?"
Feng Yun raised his hands up to indicate that he was not malicious, but the playful look in the depths of his eyes became stronger. (To be continued.)
