C124 Fast Tracking
Without realizing it, another hour passed. Guxing stopped midway to catch his breath for a while, then continued to run.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Guxing stood on the tree again.
"No, it's too late. I can't see through it at all. Looks like I can only go down. "
Guxing wanted to turn around and get off the tree. Suddenly, he slipped and almost fell off the tree. Luckily, he grabbed the tree branch with both hands at the critical moment and swung it gently. Only then did he land safely on the ground.
"Phew, that was close!"
Returning to the ground, Guxing looked at Chu Rouer, who was still sleeping peacefully in his arms. He could not help but secretly sigh in relief. He smiled bitterly and wiped the sweat on the tip of his nose. Guxing could not help but lower his head and touch his deflated stomach. He helplessly sighed.
"This feeling of rushing while starving is really unpleasant. Even my hands and feet are a little inflexible from hunger. "
Guxing didn't dare to think too much about it. Once again, he went on his way. After several life and death battles, he was already so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back. Even though he had prepared some rations in his bag, he didn't have the time to enjoy them. In fact, he didn't even have the time to open his bag.
He didn't dare to relax for a moment on the way here. He felt that there was a big mouth behind him that could swallow everything. If he stopped, he would be doomed.
"Damn it, this intuition, did it really catch up?"
Thinking of this, he could not help but turn his head quickly to take a look. However, he only saw the branches and leaves swaying in the wind like ghosts. Instantly, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Silly, are you afraid?"
Suddenly, Xiao Yue's voice rang in his ears again. Guxing turned his head slightly and found that Xiao Yue had appeared beside him at some point.
"Ms Yue!"
Seeing Xiao Yue, Guxing immediately threw away all his uneasiness and shouted happily.
"Ah, so you actually know that I have a sister. "
The corner of Xiao Yue's mouth slightly curled up, and she said teasingly, "It seems that this little girl hasn't captivated you to the point of capsizing. Look at your arrogant intimacy just now, even I can't bear to look at it directly. "
Sensing the sourness in her tone, Guxing was first stunned, and then he mimicked her and teased. "Hey, why is it so sour? Ms Yue, are you jealous today?"
Before he finished his sentence, he heard a long-awaited crash. Guxing almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He gently rubbed his forehead and continued on his journey. However, he heard Xiao Yue say disdainfully from the side. "Bah, you silly fool. Big Sister will be jealous of that little girl for a brat like you. Hmph, daydreaming!"
Guxing didn't know if it was his misconception, but he felt that Xiao Yue's words were a little lacking in anger, but it wasn't good to verify it. He laughed foolishly a few times and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Yue also became silent. The two of them rushed forward one after another, as if they had returned to that scene.
Looking at the figure in front of them that was no longer thin, Xiao Yue couldn't help but be lost in thought. A few years passed in the blink of an eye. She could only sigh at how old her white clothes were, but the youth in front of her had already shed his youth.
"Silly, do you regret falling to this stage?"
After catching up to Guxing with a few casual steps, Xiao Yue asked in a seemingly unintentional manner.
Guxing was stunned and said, "Regret? Regret for what?"
Xiao Yue gestured at the person in his arms and said, "No wonder people say that beauty brings disaster. Look at this little girl who looks like a porcelain doll. I didn't expect her to be so capable. A few days ago, if it wasn't for you forcing yourself to save this girl, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been hunted down today. How about it? Do you regret it now? "
"So what if I regret it? I've already come to this point. It's not to the extent that I should surrender and hand this girl over obediently, right?"
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Why not?"
Guxing immediately curled the corner of his mouth. "There's nothing wrong with that. But if that's the case, even I would despise myself. Besides, Grandpa once taught me this when I was still alive. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yue suddenly became interested and said: "Oh? What words?"
Guxing slowly raised his head in the darkness, his eyes shining with determination. "As long as you make up your mind and do it, don't regret it. Instead of wasting time on meaningless regrets, you might as well make some changes before the answer is revealed. Opportunities will always be favored by those who never give up. "
"Opportunities. . . Are always favored by those who never give up. . . "
Hearing this, Xiaoyue couldn't help but narrow her eyes and muttered to herself in the dark, "Never give up. . . "
. . .
. . . "Sir, there seems to be a faint smell of blood in the air. "
Behind the three of them, the old man and the man called Aaning stopped at a place where Guxing had just passed by.
Due to the color of the sky, the two of them naturally had no choice but to get down from the tree. This way, it would be much more difficult to continue searching. Fortunately, with Aaning's keen observation skills, although they still wasted a lot of time, they wouldn't lose track of them. And now, Aaning seemed to have found something new among the two of them.
"En? The smell of blood?"
The old man shook his nose a few times. Apart from the faint smell of soil, he could only smell the thick scent of plants and vegetation. He could only give up and say: "Forget it. This is your domain. As usual, you should lead the way. "
Aaning nodded his head and twitched his nose a few times. He immediately recognized a direction and quickly leaped up. In a few breaths time, he disappeared into the vast night sky. Seeing this, the old man also hurriedly followed.
"Hmm? The smell of blood seems to be heading south. "
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Aaning and the old man stopped again. This time, Aaning sniffed for a long time before he caught a faint trace of blood in the air.
"Sir, for some reason. . . The smell on that kid's body seemed to be getting fainter and fainter. This was a very dangerous signal. Once the smell completely disappears, no matter how meticulous your subordinate's thoughts are, It was impossible to accurately determine a person's location from this boundless night sky, let alone a large forest. It was no different from a fool's dream to rely on one's senses. So this subordinate suggested that there was no time to lose. We should continue to chase at a faster speed. We must see their figures before the smell completely disappears. "
"This is the only thing we can do now. In that case, Aaning, you should lead the way quickly. Let's go. "
After agreeing with his words, the old man urged.
Hearing this, Aaning's face couldn't help but reveal a troubled expression. "Sir, don't worry. I will naturally use my fastest speed later. After all, tracking is my specialty. I am only worried about Sir. Sir has been running around for several days. If you continue to tire like this, I am worried about Sir's health. . . "
"Humph, you don't have to worry about that. You just have to give me your fastest speed. You just have to remember that I will not be left behind by you. "
Seemingly feeling that his subordinates were looking down on him, the old man coldly snorted: "Kid, you can open up a path for me. I am not as fragile as you think. Even if I really hurt my body, so what? I will only lose my life. However, if I cannot chase after the princess. . . Hmph hmph, I'm afraid I won't be able to die even if I want to. . . "
