Chapter 2277 The missing soul shoot
"Look, these are some gnawed-out stumps of spiritual bamboo shoots." Ruotao took a few steps forward, picked up a bamboo shoot at the door, and handed it to Gu Sangnu to look at.
The other party stared at it for a long time, then suddenly said: "Taozi, the tooth marks on it seem to be different from those of a corpse horse. Look, it has a red mane, a lion's head, a big mouth, and generous tusks."
, the tip is sharp, but the mark on the stump of the spiritual bamboo shoot does not match the tooth shape of the corpse horse at all."
"Yes, Sister Gu Sang is right at all." Xiao Hei whispered: "Even I can see it, it is indeed different."
At this time, Ruotao held the bamboo shoots in front of the strong turtle and said, "See for yourself, have you wronged my corpse horse?"
The red-eyed hunchback stared at his pair of blood-red eyes for careful analysis, and his face suddenly changed. Then he walked up to Rong Xuan's corpse with a frown, and hummed in a low voice to express his apology. That meant, buddy,
I've wronged you, I'm sorry.
But the corpse horse was still angry. After giving the other party a fierce look, he turned his head and ignored the stubborn hunchback, causing him to blush.
"Oh, we are all good friends, where did the overnight feud come from?" Xiao Hei walked up to the two of them with a smile, then touched each other's forehead and said: "Let's make peace, let's make peace."
At this moment, Ruotao and Gu Sangnu also said: "Yes, now is not the time to hold grudges. We have more important things to do."
Hearing this, Xie Ma and Duan Tuo were slightly startled, and they both thought: "There is something else important? What is that?"
Seeing them bewildered and looking like they were in the mist, Gu Sangnu immediately explained: "Hey, think about it carefully, since it's not a corpse horse that eats the soul bamboo shoots, it must be another thief.
The other party caused your old friends to turn against each other and almost come to blows. Are you not going to avenge this revenge?"
"Ouch?!"
"Uluru——" After hearing this, the two beasts suddenly realized. One roared in a low voice, and the other snorted angrily. They were both so angry that they wanted to catch the "thief" immediately and give him a good beating.
Ruotao saw that the method of shifting the target and easing the conflict between the two parties had been successful, so she quickly said: "Let's start looking for the thief quickly, and we can't let that guy slip away."
"That's right." Gu Sangnu looked at the stump in her hand, and then said: "Looking at the gnawing marks, it must have been a moment. The little thief may have disappeared, but he may still leave behind
Let’s look for any traces or clues.”
"Datouwei, you bring the demons and ghosts out to help." As she said this, Ruotao patted the sand clam bead in her arms, and the four-armed mountainwei immediately flew out with a low roar, and there were more than a dozen demons beside it.
The ghosts and ghosts were floating and wandering. Under the guidance of the three women, they spread out to look for clues.
After a few breaths, a ghost spirit suddenly let out a low cry, calling everyone to come over. Its location happened to be a hundred feet to the east of the Tuo Hut.
"Hey, this is what I found?!" Ruotao saw the demon wandering around in the same place, and then motioned for herself to look at the large clump of wormwood on the left. She immediately separated the grass nest with her hands and took a closer look.
"It's really weird, look at it." Ruotao pointed to a few obscure footprints behind the mugwort and said, "If there are footprints, I don't know who left them."
"It's easy. Can't we just follow him and look for him?" Xiao Hei said, and ran over there. The camel and the corpse horse were eager to find the little thief, and they also hurriedly followed. Ruotao and Gu Sangnu
They looked at each other and smiled: "This girl is quite concerned about this matter."
After a while, Xiao Hei followed the footprints along the way and ran to the corner of the palace wall. She then turned to the person behind her and shouted: "Come here and take a look, there is a hole in the wall here, and it's not small."
"Where is it? Let me take a look." Ruotao took a few steps forward to check, and then slightly nodded: "Well, the size of this hole is such that even corpses, horses, and strong camels can easily get through. It seems that we
The thief we are looking for also comes in and out from here."
"Let's go out and take a look. I think there will be clues." As soon as Gu Sang's voice finished, she had already gotten through the hole in the wall and reached there.
Then came Tutu, Zima, Xiaohei, and Ruotao who came out last.
Gu Sangnu took a few steps forward and immediately pointed to the ground in front of her with her wooden staff: "I found it. There are footprints here. You see, after arriving outside the wall, the footprints left by the other party became much clearer. Gradually, they were just like the ones left by the other party.
I didn’t stay long.”
Ruotao nodded: "I remember that the side of Zhurong Palace is just above the crater. The left side of here extends downward. It should be an endless dense forest. Here, it is the large sea of green trees in front."
"You've come out so far, should we chase after him?"
Now, Gu Sangnu was a little hesitant, mainly because Xiao Hei beside her was not in danger. She whispered: "It's just a few spiritual bamboo shoots that were stolen. Is it necessary to mobilize a large force? At worst, we can ask Brother Wang to give Hantuo some more."
That’s it.”
"Aww!" "Aww." After hearing this, both the camel and the corpse horse were not happy, because they almost started a fight because of this. They howled, shook their heads and stamped their hooves, unwilling to give up.
Ruotao was stroking Zhi Ma at this time, and seeing the unwillingness of being wronged still flashing in the other person's eyes, she could only say: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, who made me wrongfully accuse Xi Ma just now? This grudge
, I’ll just repay it for you.”
"That's right, the dignified Zhu Rong left the palace, and thieves have also entered the Vulcan's territory. Our safety is not guaranteed."
Xiao Hei shook his fist and said matter-of-factly: "If we don't catch 'that guy', there's no guarantee that we won't lose something while we're sleeping. Maybe even our head will be stolen, so
, the little thief must be caught.”
"Oh, how can it be such an exaggeration?" Gu Sangnu and Ruotao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said to themselves: "Well, since the girl likes to play this kind of catching a thief game, let's take the trouble to accompany her."
Before leaving, Ruotao noticed that a narrow strip of shrunken animal skin had fallen next to the hole in the wall, so she picked it up and put it away.
After a while, everyone had entered the dense forest. The footprints on the ground were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, but they finally did not disappear in the middle, allowing them to successfully find a place in a large bush, with the footprints extending intermittently into it.
"Swish, swish, swish... swish..."
At this moment, all three girls heard a rustling sound. Ruotao quickly waved to the camel corpses and horses around her, telling them to quickly move back and hide with Xiao Hei. She and Gu Sang Nu looked at each other.
, both of them quietly sneaked a few feet away.
"That's?!" Through a clump of weeds, Gu Sangnu saw a scene not far away. It turned out that a huge black shadow was shaking and crawling. Ruotao whispered beside her: "It seems to be a 'big reptile'. Let's
