Yudai Mountain.

"In recent years... prey has become less and less year by year, at least near the Yudai Mountains. If you want to get more prey, you have to go deep into the Yudai Mountains..."

"But, in the depths of Yudai Mountain... there are all kinds of wild beasts, poisons, and insects, and there are too many dangers. In the past few years, hunters have died in the depths every year. If you are lucky, your companions can bring back the body. If you are unlucky, then

Even if there are no bones left, he has become the food of some kind of beast." Mo Chi sighed.

"Moyunlin shouldn't be considered deep in Yudai Mountain, right?" Luo Xingchen said.

"It doesn't matter, Moyun Forest is still on the outskirts of Yudai Mountain. When we go in from this path, we pass through Mo Yun Forest from the thinnest part, but Mo Yun Forest spreads very long from north to south."

After walking for a while, along the way, as Mo Chi said, poisonous snakes and insects appeared from time to time.

Fortunately, the three of them were very agile, and they killed the poisonous snakes before they even got close.

And poisonous insects...

With the medicine bags provided by Ziyan, ordinary poisonous insects will take a detour when they smell the smell.

But occasionally there are those giant poisonous insects that are not afraid of the medicinal gas.

After they appeared, they died tragically under the silver needles of Zi Yan in an instant, which added a lot of poisonous insect specimens to her.

With the help of Zi Yan, Mo Chi quickly passed through Moyun Forest and saw the majestic green mountains on the opposite side.

"It's never been so fast before." Mo Chi couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, they and the hunters went out together. In the forest, the poisonous insects that penetrated all the way caused them a lot of suffering. They had to form a formation and advance little by little to barely pass through Moyun Forest.

"The shoe prints appeared again. Yes, that person did pass through Moyunlin."

"Well, there are no shoe prints of the little tiger baby. The little tiger baby may have been knocked unconscious. The person carried the little tiger baby away." Zi Yan glanced at the surrounding environment and said.

"Little tiger baby... Nothing will happen, right?" Mo Chi was confused by concern, he had lost his normal judgment.

"How could it be? Before that person achieves his goal, the little tiger boy must be fine." Zi Yan frowned.

"Village Chief Mo, where is the secret passage you mentioned?"

"Right ahead."

The ink ruler should be one step ahead.

After walking for a while, on a cliff, a tunnel going downward appeared in front of me.

Standing on it, you can see that the tunnel leads to a crack four or five people wide.

"Are you sure this crack is a secret passage and not a common karst landform in the mountains?" Zi Yan asked.

"It is both karst and a secret passage..." Mo Chi said.

"This is strange. The karst crack is actually the entrance to a secret passage."

Zi Yan looked at the crack carefully. On the surface, there were no traces of artificial digging.

"Master Zi, don't worry, you'll understand when you get in."

Mo Chi should take the first step and walk down the tunnel.

"I'll go ahead."

Zi Yan ducked and stood in front of Mo Chi.

She stepped inside.

As soon as he took a step towards the crack, dozens of black shadows rushed towards him from all directions at extremely fast speeds.

"簌甌甌!"

Zi Yan's body suddenly dwarfed and rolled forward.

A large black shadow fell on her original position, and several of them hit Zi Yan's back.

"Sister Ziyan!"

Luo Xingchen rushed forward in shock. He had already drawn his long sword and quickly approached Zi Yan.

"I'm fine."

Zi Yan waved her hands, exhaled a long breath, and looked slightly uncomfortable.

"I saw the crossbow arrow hit your back..." Luo Xingchen asked with concern.

"Fortunately, I put on soft gold armor when I went out, otherwise I would have been seriously injured."

Zi Yan's heart was filled with lingering fear.

It had been a long time since she had felt like she was about to be killed.

"The force of this crossbow arrow is unusually strong, and its direction covers all locations. It wants the pursuer to die."

Luo Xingchen looked at Mo Chi and continued: "Village Chief Mo, I think that person is targeting you. The most likely pursuer is you. The layout here cannot be done in one go. It must have been done carefully over several days."

As for the arrangements, we are here today, and that person could not have considered our arrival in advance."

Mo Chi's face was heavy, and he bowed to Zi Yan and said, "Thanks to Master Zi, otherwise, I would definitely die this time."

"Village Chief Mo, you're welcome... I think we can't continue chasing him." Zi Yan waved her hand to signal Mo Chi not to salute.

A look of hesitation flashed in Mo Chi's eyes.

His son, Xiao Huwa, was taken away, and he felt very uncomfortable.

If we give up, will the little tiger baby come back?

Even if that person doesn't kill the little tiger baby, will that person torture the little tiger baby?

When Mo Chi thought about what would happen to his son, his heart tightened and his body was shaky.

But rationally, he couldn't continue pursuing it.

Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan are both outsiders and high-ranking officials of the imperial court. If something happens to them, the imperial court will definitely blame them, and then the whole village will probably be in trouble.

Moreover, Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan had already helped him a lot, and he couldn't let them die again.

"Village Chief Mo, don't worry, that man won't kill the little tiger baby. When we get back, we will gather our troops and kill them together. We still have thousands of troops in the valley in front of the mountain." Luo Xingchen said.

"Thousands of troops? Master Luo, is this serious?"

Mo Chi seemed to think he had heard wrongly. There were thousands of people. How could this be possible?

"Of course, we have enough manpower, which that person didn't expect." Zi Yan said.

"That's good, that's good. We won't pursue him. We'll discuss it later when we get back."

Mo Chi said continuously.

If Mo Chi had heard of thousands of people before, he would have been frightened.

What on earth do the people from the imperial court want to do when they enter Yudai Mountain with thousands of troops?

You know, mountain people sometimes belong to the same family as bandits. In years of famine, the mountain people will go down to the mountains to gather together and become bandits to rob property and food.

Although Mo Chi himself has never done it, it does not mean that there are no villagers in Mo Village who have done it.

He has at least one crime of not reporting what he knew.

But, it's different now.

His enemy is not the court, but the person who kidnapped his son.

In order to find his son, he is willing to cooperate with the court.

At this time, after deciding to go back, Zi Yan took a good look at the entrance to the crack before leaving, and understood why Mo Chi said this was the entrance to the secret passage.

It turns out that the outside is indeed naturally formed, but there is an artificially dug passage inside.

And this crack must not be the real exit of the passage, but a hole opened from the side due to landslides and ground fissures the day after tomorrow.

"Where is the real entrance gate to this secret passage?"

Zi Yan asked.

"We have investigated before and found that the real entrance has been collapsed and sealed, and can no longer be opened." Mo Chi slowly explained.
