Chapter 148: Each Showing His Special Abilities

There are countless tiny footprints on the side, some of which look like the shoe prints of mountain people.

Pei Xinyong and Lu Yao each had their own agendas and walked away without speaking for a long time.

Finally, it was Pei Xinyong who broke the silence: "According to you, General Wu was killed by you because he fell into the trap of alienation by the surname He?"

It’s not just Wu Shaoyi who fell into the trap, but you too! Of course, Lu Yao would only keep these words in his stomach. After all, Pei Xinyong now had more than twice as many people as him, and his first priority was to hunt down the officers and soldiers.

"I didn't kill him, it was the Crocodile God who did it himself!"

"Speaking of this, why would the Crocodile God follow you to Fairy Lake?" This is what Pei Xinyong is deeply afraid of. Wu Shaoyi's fighting prowess was so strong that he fell into Lu Yao's ambush, and Pei Xinyong was inevitably in danger.

What does Lu Yao want to do by bringing the Crocodile God to Xianling Lake?

"I beg it to come and be a witness for us!" Lu Yao sighed, "After the death of the Holy Master, it also wanted to find another nest. When I heard that Xianling Lake is rich in fish and has a developed water system, it was tempted to come here."

Pei Xinyong nodded, not believing a word. There are so many lakes and rivers in the Kite Kingdom, why did the Crocodile God choose this place? It’s not like he didn’t know that the Crocodile God came from the Northern Kingdom and didn’t know much about the waters of the Kite Kingdom. If Lu Yao hadn’t fooled him, how could he come with him?

So, Lu Yao originally planned to take advantage of the meeting of the three armies to use the Crocodile God to coerce the other two forces to respect him?

Now that Wu Shaoyi is dead and his men have either dispersed or joined Lu Yao, how should Pei Xinyong deal with himself?

Kill Lu Yao and seize all the troops?

Pei Xinyong sneered in his heart, I'm afraid Lu Yao also had these calculations!

Lu Yao turned his head to look at him and suddenly said: "Wu Shaoyi has no ambitions. I know that he just wants to go back to the south to find a mountain to stay, and surround himself as a grass-headed king. Now that he is dead, we don't need to spend a lot of time to do it." When it comes to joining forces and forming alliances, I, Lu Yao, will take charge of General Pei. Only by working together from now on will we have a way out!"

Pei Xinyong was stunned: "You, you want to regard me as your commander-in-chief?"

"Exactly!" Lu Yao smiled boldly, "From now on, Lu's two hundred kilograms of meat will be handed over to Marshal Pei, and you can do whatever you want!"

Pei Xinyong was moved: "Brother Lu, you're welcome!"

But he didn’t answer the question “How did this happen?”

The two looked at each other, smiled, hugged each other's arms, and cursed each other in their hearts.

Going further, there were several broken metasequoia trees on the ground blocking the way.

With such thick trees stacked on top of each other, the horse would definitely not be able to jump over them. The bandits had no choice but to dismount and carry it.

At that time, He Chunhua specially selected giant trees to cut down, and the trees that fell to the ground were all dead and piled up in a pile of twists and turns. Although the Pei and Lu coalition forces had a large number of people, it took them more than two quarters of an hour to move all these behemoths aside, and they were still panting from exhaustion.

Pei and Lu didn't have the stinky habit of official generals being aloof, and they both jumped down and did it themselves. Pei Xinyong picked the wooden thorn out of his palm and turned to ask Lu Yao: "Is it okay?"

Lu Yao had had a fight with Wu Shaoyi before. He was injured in many places and bled. The wounds had long since opened and he could now walk lamely. He led the crowd to attack the Xishan chariot formation, and then rode horses all the way to this point and had to work as a laborer, even an iron man. I was tired. Not only was I breathing heavily, my temples were also pounding, and my mind was slightly dizzy.

But facing Pei Xinyong, who had twice his own strength, he knew that he must not show weakness at this time, so he smiled nonchalantly: "Very good." After that, he pointed to the front and said, "It's foggy. Chase him quickly. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up." On."

While Pei Xinyong turned his head, he secretly stuffed himself with two pills that boosted Qi and replenished blood.

The fog in the mountains comes at any time without any warning.

As soon as the bandits mounted their horses, white mist hit their faces. Everyone felt that their heads and faces were slightly wet, like the spring rain in March hitting their faces, hazy and subtle.

Don't look at the wilderness like a fairyland, but soon your clothes will be wet. It was completely white all around, and I couldn't see clearly anything more than a foot away.

The two generals were in heavy moods. Too much fog caused unclear vision and affected the speed of the horses.

"This fog has really helped the officers and soldiers a lot."

The bandits hurriedly chased down the slope, passing by a crooked locust tree.

Just like that, a quarter of an hour passed.

In the fog, you have to get closer to realize that the surrounding landscape looks familiar.

So, another quarter of an hour passed.

The horse kicked up and came to a stop beside the locust tree. Lu Yao looked at the knife marks on the trunk of the old tree: "We are walking back again, for the third time!"

The men escorted over a villager who they had captured from Fairy Village to serve as a guide.

"How is this going?"

The villagers turned pale with fear: "I don't know either, Your Majesty, oh no, General, I have been walking this road for decades, so it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with closing my eyes."

"Ghosts attack the wall." Pei Xinyong's face turned ugly, "This is the enchantment array set up by the officers and soldiers."

To put it simply, it is a maze.

The way to get rid of the pursuer is actually very simple. If you can't walk fast, then find a way to slow down the pursuer.

"This kind of maze has an eye. Once you find it, you can crack it. But it takes time."

Lu Yao pondered: "I remember that the Holy Master once fought with others in Xiaonantian. The opponent set up a Thousand Lamp Array. Logically speaking, it is extremely complicated to break, but the Holy Master found another way. Do you still remember?"

Pei Xinyong nodded: "Know the way by its smell."

He had a capable man under him, so he came out and said: "I need the old objects of the person being tracked." Otherwise, he would not be able to specify the target.

Old stuff?

A bandit heard this and presented a piece of clothing to Lu Yao: "General, this is from the clothes of He Gouguan's youngest son. You were in the water at the time, and he wanted to sneak attack, but I punched him back." Afterwards, he put it in his sleeve, thinking that the material was good, and when he was squatting in the wild... uh, he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

Fortunately, he hasn't had a stomachache since last night.

Lu Yao was very happy: "Well done, reward ten taels of silver!"

After getting He Yue's clothing, he can continue to cast spells. Pei Xinyong's men poured some yellow powder on this small piece of clothing, rubbed it carefully, and muttered something.

After reading it, he lifted the clothing corner upside down and shook it a few times, and the yellow powder scattered in the air, a misty yellow ball.

The wind is weak here, and the yellow powder is scattered but not escaping, and it only floats forward.

It worked.

If everything goes well, this small handful of guide powder can guide them to chase He Yue.

Pei Xinyong ordered, follow!

Two thousand people marched forward.

Just like that, more than a quarter of an hour passed.

The fog was still thick all around.

Lu Yao frowned: "Isn't this right? If we walk out of the formation, the fog should dissipate!" The officers and soldiers rushing ahead must not be disturbed by the fog.

The bandits under his command suddenly pointed to a locust tree and said: "General, we passed here again!"

The fourth time!

They still didn't get out of the maze, and even the method of the Saint Master failed? Everyone looked at each other, shocked, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Pei Xinyong murmured: "Under the dog official named He, there is such a capable person who can even distort the scent tracking?"

Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a clear cry in the sky, followed by the stirring of white fog, and something fell down, fluttering.

Lu Yao smiled: "Pidan is back!"

He pursed his lips and blew two whistles.

The thing seemed to be identifying his position. After a few breaths, a brown shadow jumped out of the thick fog and landed on his arm.

It was the red-tailed peregrine falcon that had returned.

Lu Yao said triumphantly, "Maybe this is the key to our breakthrough!"

He asked the red falcon, "Did you catch up with the officers and soldiers?"

The red falcon nodded.

"Can you point them in the direction?"

The red falcon said, "Not here, we can see them when we fly up to the sky."

The bandits were delighted.

Yes, no matter how powerful the maze array on the ground is, it is only on the ground. The red falcon was flying in the sky, looking down from a high altitude, how could the array blind its eyes?

The red falcon continued, "The position I picked out in the sky was different when I landed."

"As soon as you get close to the ground, you will be affected by the array." Lu Yao pondered, "It's not difficult to do. I'll tie a red line for you, you fly higher, and point us in the direction!"

In fact, the mountain road from here to Qianteng Town is not complicated, but the light and smell in the array are distorted, causing them to take detours, crooked roads, or even turn back without realizing it.

As long as there is a red falcon flying high in the sky to point them in the direction, the obstacles of the array will be nothing.

"Get the thread!"

The embarrassing thing is that there is no silk thread.

In the end, the bandits could only find a few unlucky guys to contribute their clothes, tear them into strips, connect them one by one, and tie the ends to the red falcon's claws.

The red falcon immediately flapped its wings and took off.

It flew for a while and felt something was wrong. It couldn't break through the fog even if it flew upwards.

Can this formation be adjusted at any time?

Who is monitoring here?

But this is not difficult for it. When the red falcon folded its wings, its body naturally fell down, and then it flapped its wings in the opposite direction, naturally going up.

And in its own field of vision, it was moving forward in parallel.

This is the power of the formation.

The red falcon simply closed its eyes and flew by gravity perception. After a while, it broke through the blockade of the thick fog and saw the mountains and rivers again.

Looking down from the air fifty feet, the view below was clear and refreshing. Not to mention the mountains and forests, even the caterpillars on the leaves were clearly visible. Where is the thick fog?

It flew forward for a short distance. Well, the officers and soldiers are in...that direction!

However, the red falcon noticed that there was an arc-shaped cliff in front of its master. If it led the way straight, it would definitely cause a cliff fall accident. It had to lead the whole team to detour first.

Seeing the cloth strip in his hand move, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily: "That dog officer, thought that a mere maze could stop us? Let's go!"

The direction indicated by the cloth strip changed in real time, and everyone followed and chased outside the formation.

Lian Deng was from Qianteng Town and knew the geography of this area very well. He led He Lingchuan along the path for three or five miles and finally returned to the main road.

Of course, the road was empty now.

"Go west from here to Zhumapo." He pointed east again, "In the other direction, Xianling Village."

He Lingchuan turned his horse's head east: "If Pei Xinyong received the mechanical bird message from General Wu, he should be waiting for us at Qiansui Cliff."

The two drove side by side and soon arrived at Langming Cave.

The wheel tracks on the ground were still visible.
