Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the disappearing army

A strange silence appeared in the room.

Everyone was stunned.

That's fifty thousand people! If you line up in two columns, you can stretch out several miles from the beginning to the end. How could you say it's gone?

"Maybe they just didn't take the road to Huangtu Town... but went straight from Baili Town to the mountain?" Shanhui said after a while.

"Impossible." Jiulin immediately denied, "The mountains in the south will only have a sinking gap in our current location. If we pull out all the trees, we will find that Jiuyao Mountain is actually a high wall, and it is difficult to climb from other places to climb. If it is a big monster like Sister Li, it may be possible, but for 50,000 people, it is definitely a dead end."

She has lived in Yuetai Villa for several years and is quite familiar with the periphery of Baiyao Mountain. Any medicinal farmers or hunters who want to enter the mountain will go to Huangtu Town without exception. Even these old mountain tourists have chosen this way, let alone others.

"Where are they stationed? Have you found anything?" Li asked.

"There are no signs of fighting or riots. These people evacuated spontaneously." Mu Youhong shook his head, "There are no footprints left on the dry land and no traces of ruts, so the other side reported that they were missing. However, they were not unaware of it. Some scattered wild fruits were found on the scene, which should be the shrub jujubes from Ganzhou. This thing tastes very astringent and the meat is bitter. Generally, few people eat it on their own initiative unless..."

"Unless the food ration is insufficient, it will be filled with wild fruits." Li continued.

"That's true." Mu Youhong expressed his affirmation, "This may also explain why they conquered cities and territory in Suzhou, but when they arrived in Ganzhou, they just buryed their heads all the way."

Because even if the small towns and towns in Ganzhou are taken, they will not be able to share much food in stock.

Their choice is to speed up the journey and arrive at the so-called "outer heaven" as soon as possible.

Li felt a hint of urgency.

She did not believe in the saying that the Kingdom of Heaven had no worries about food and clothing. If the 50,000 people lacked logistics supplies, once the food and grass were cut off, it would not be so easy for Jinxia City to replenish. No matter where the Heimen Cult took the person, she had to find the whereabouts of the other party as soon as possible to avoid large-scale starvation.

"We will set out tonight and rush to Baili Town." Li made the decision immediately, "Even if it disappears suddenly, we must at least find a way for them to disappear."

Others nodded one after another.

After all, the Baekje caravan is not a professional spy organization. Inquiring about street rumors and looking at the scene is the limit of the ability of travelers. The clues they cannot find may be a different situation in the hands of professionals.

After reaching an agreement, the investigation team quickly took action. Li climbed up the roof, set up an antenna, and used a voice meter to tell Jin Xia what he had learned about it, hoping that the rear could prepare for support. Then the group left the inn quietly and ran to Baili Town 260 miles away overnight.

The next afternoon, Li and others arrived at their destination. This was also the advantage of the All Demon Squad. As long as Wu Lie is sure that there is no one around, Shan Hui can carry Li and Jiulin to run wildly in the countryside, with a speed far better than a galloping horse.

Instead of entering the town, everyone came directly to the Heimen Cult's garrison.

It is about ten miles away from Baili Town. According to common sense, no matter whether they turn back the same road or enter Huangtu Town east, it is impossible to avoid the pedestrians on the road. Looking south, there are lush jungles and towering peaks. Due to the steep mountains, you can even see a touch of plaster on the top of the mountain.

Shanhui surrounded the abandoned camp and said with great certainty, "The residual smell is still obvious. They went east or west, but went straight south into the forest area."

"It seems that's true." Li frowned. As for common sense, the south is a dead end, so naturally no one would consider that they went there. Therefore, for the caravan, the Heimen Cult disappeared as if it was in place. "Wulie, take a step first and find the direction they might be moving from the air. We will follow the smell behind."

"I understand, leave it to me!" Wu Lie spread his wings and flew towards the continuous mountains.

...

However, the development of the situation was beyond Li's expectations.

The smell suddenly fades after entering the forest, and when it approaches the mountain wall, it basically disappears, and it is no longer difficult to provide effective clues.

After Wu Lie rotated two rounds within a radius of fifty miles, he had no gains and could only return in vain.

Now Li finally felt a little creepy.

Fifty thousand people actually evaporated out of thin air!

"How is this possible?" Shan Hui showed an incredible expression. "It is much slower in the mountains than outside. If they walked four or five days ago, they should not be able to cross any mountain."

"No, even if they can pass it, they can't avoid Wu Lie's investigation." Li calmed down and rethinked this fact. "The broken branches and the fallen shrubs in the woods can prove that the Heimen Cult has indeed been here. If they had the trick of becoming a human out of thin air, they would not have migrated all the way to Baili Town. Similarly, they had so much effort to travel through Suzhou, Leizhou and Ganzhou, and it would be too unprofitable if they just wanted to kill these 50,000 people. Moreover, with Miss Luo in the team, it would be impossible to sit by and watch them."

She suddenly paused when she said this.

"By the way, Luo Qingqing is also in the team! If it were her, maybe some clues would be left so that we would not be thrown away."

"This is possible." Shan Hui agreed, "But I found nothing special when I found it along the way. As for Lord Luo's smell, it must be very different from when he left Jinxia."

"Let me think about it." Li pondered for a moment, and had a guess in his heart, "...No matter what, let's try it first."

She raised her tail and conceived the prototype of the thunder in her mind.

The white long tail was like an amplifier, spreading her thoughts, causing ripples around her breath. At this moment, she felt the flow of the breath from chaos to order, concentrated at a point not far away.

The magic was not successfully used, but Li found a ring tied into copper wire on the branch thirty steps away.

"This is..." Wu Lie leaned his head curiously.

"The copper wire pendant produced by Jin Xia was dismantled and re-tied." Li suddenly felt a secret in his heart, "Luo Qingqing is using this method to remind us of the whereabouts of the Heimen Cult!"

Feeling the resonance between magic and medicine is a compulsory course for alchemists when performing arts, but only alchemists cultivated by Jinxia can connect the shock technique with the copper wire pendant.

The scope of qi detection is much larger than that of the naked eye.

In this way, even if the clues are hidden in some extremely secret places, there is no need to worry that Jinxia's trackers will find it difficult.

As for the Black Gate, it was impossible for the Black Gate to stare at Luo Qingqing's all movements.
