Chapter 491: Going up the Mountain to Look for Clues, Encountering a Trap and Ambush!
Just when Bai Chenxiang and his party were preparing to set off, a very fast flying pigeon landed on Bai Chenxiang's shoulder——
That is the unique method of information transmission of the Min clan.
Bai Chenxiang gently supported Fei Ge and took off the creed from Fei Ge's feet.
She raised her hand gently:
"Go ahead."
The flying pigeon disappeared in the sky instantly.
Bai Chenxiang unfolded the creed and quickly scanned the contents, her expression becoming more solemn.
She pursed her lips slightly, held the creed tightly in her hand, and after pondering for a moment, she raised her eyes to look at the group of people around her who were also looking nervous.
"Is there any news on the other side?"
One of the tribesmen asked nervously.
Bai Chenxiang took a long breath and said in a calm and serious voice:
"The letter said that there was nothing abnormal on the other side. When they visited, they received news that after knowing that there was a treasure at the address we provided, the tribesman returned home and told his family about the information as soon as possible. In other words, that The person appearing at the treasure address was entirely due to their family’s greedy decision, not a traitor.”
Everyone looked at each other, tension and uneasiness filling the air.
"This means that the person we are investigating now is the only suspect."
Bai Chenxiang said.
"Yes, if no useful clues are found, the entire search will return to the starting point."
Another member said heavily.
Bai Chenxiang frowned slightly, her eyes showing determination and thinking:
"Let's go up the mountain to investigate. We must find a breakthrough from this only suspect."
They headed up the mountain along a winding path.
There are lush trees on the mountain, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light.
The air is filled with the fresh smell of vegetation, and occasionally you can hear the chirping of birds.
The old woman I met just now was planting seedlings in the field.
After a while, an old man came over and took the seedlings from her hand.
He said warmly:
"Honey, you go and enjoy the cool air, I'll just come."
The old lady smiled and said:
"No need, I'm not tired yet. I met some young kids on the way here today. They were very enthusiastic and insisted on helping me carry baskets and tools along the way."
The old man smiled happily:
"Haha, right? Are they from our area?"
The old lady shook her head:
"It doesn't seem like it. They seem to be here to do something. I even talked to them about the young man across from us."
"I'm doing you a favor by not letting others come to your house for dinner?"
The old man joked.
"Of course I'll stay. I asked that girl Xiang'er to come to our place for dinner if she has free time tonight!"
The old lady explained.
He scratched his head in confusion and looked at the old lady:
"Xiang'er? Who is it?"
"One of the young people I met today is a girl. Her name is Bai Chenxiang. She asked me to call her Xiang'er. That girl is so cool and kind."
The old lady explained.
The old man said calmly:
"Oh, Bai Chenxiang."
Suddenly, the old man was startled and straightened up.
"What? Bai Chenxiang?"
he shouted.
The old lady was also shocked by his reaction:
"What are you doing? Be careful not to let your old bones slip away!"
The old man froze in place at first, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He sat down on the field:
"It seems we are all confused! Have you forgotten who Bai Chenxiang is? She is the daughter of our sect leader Bai He."
Only then did the old lady react:
"Hahaha, look at my brain."
In the mountains and forests.
Bai Chenxiang walked carefully, not letting go of any possible clue.
“Everyone, please be careful and pay attention to what’s going on under your feet and around you.”
Bai Chenxiang reminded the team members softly.
"Young Sect Master, don't worry, we will be careful."
One of the team members responded.
Everyone walked forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
Sudden.
The two team members walking in front let out an exclamation.
"ah!"
Bai Chenxiang's heart tightened and she rushed forward to check the situation.
I saw that the two team members stepped into a seemingly ordinary area of fallen leaves at some point.
At this moment, a huge net suddenly rose from the ground, instantly wrapping them in it and hanging high in the air.
"Young Master, there is a trap!"
One of the trapped team members shouted in panic.
"Don't panic! We will find a way to rescue you right away."
Bai Chenxiang comforted them while quickly observing the situation of the trap.
This large net is woven from tough ropes with fine mesh.
The two team members struggled hard inside, but couldn't break free.
The four corners of the net were fixed to the surrounding trees. As the team members struggled, the big net swayed slightly in the air.
"This trap is so cunningly arranged. It is covered with fallen leaves and cannot be seen at all."
One of the team members said angrily.
Bai Chenxiang frowned, thinking about the rescue method.
"Everyone, please don't move around, lest the net shakes even more. We have to find a safe way to put them down."
"Just break this net."
one member said.
Bai Chenxiang nodded:
"Try it."
Then the member activated his soul power, and a powerful soul power impact shot towards the big net.
However.
When the soul power touched the net, it only made the net dent slightly, but did not break it.
The tough rope seemed to have extremely strong toughness and easily resisted the attack of the soul power.
"This net is so strong!"
The member said in surprise.
Then he launched several soul power shock waves to the net in succession.
The result was the same, the net was still intact.
Bai Chenxiang frowned more tightly, she realized that this trap was not easy to break.
"This net seems to have been injected with some soul power, making it so tough and able to resist the attack of soul power. Everyone calm down, we can't do it recklessly."
Bai Chenxiang's voice was steady and firm, which gradually calmed everyone's anxious mood.
Bai Chenxiang took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked around and tried to find other possible solutions.
Suddenly.
Bai Chenxiang saw that there were many dark blue dots in the green weeds not far away.
Bai Chenxiang, who always liked to study herbs, was secretly happy.
Because although she was far away, she recognized at a glance that the dark blue grass was blue erosion grass.
"Look! Blue erosion grass!"
Bai Chenxiang couldn't help shouting.
But everyone was confused.
After all, this blue erosion grass really looks very ordinary.
It is mixed in with many weeds and is almost difficult to distinguish.
Compared with other weeds, there is nothing special about it.
It's just that there are a few dark blue embellishments on its top, like tiny sapphires, shining faintly in the sun, but it also looks particularly unique.
Bai Chenxiang looked at the confused expressions of everyone and quickly explained:
"The juice of this blue erosion grass can corrode tough things, and perhaps it can be used to destroy this trap net." (End of this chapter)
