Vol 3 Chapter 1135: -mark

Wandering around and wasting another day in the White Ape Mountain Range, in the evening, Ji thief returned with someone to the location where the fire pit was discovered.
The clansmen sent back brought back news that there was nothing wrong in the camp, and no monkeys were harassing them, and asked the thief to lead the people to find the whereabouts of Yi Heshou with confidence.
Even Oga and Acai wanted to bring people out to help find them. After all, many people are not easy to do.
It's just that Ji thief rejected their proposal and asked them to guard the camp.
It’s true that there are so many people, but you know that Yi Heshou has disappeared in the White Ape Mountain Range.
Trying to find a few people in such a large mountain range is like looking for a needle in a haystack, with one or two hundred more people, it makes no difference at all.
In the evening, Ji Thief called everyone together and asked if he had found anything today.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads ashamed. It seemed that there was nothing to notice.
No, there are still some discoveries. From yesterday to the present day, everyone has discovered the existence of several valleys, and they all went in to see, but as soon as they entered three valleys, they were all empty.
Moreover, among the three valleys, one is overgrown with weeds, run down and barren, and there is really no one in it.
In the other two places, it is obvious that people have lived there, but I don't know why the people are no longer there.
In response to these findings, Ji Thief speculated that it is very likely that the aborigines of the two valleys were killed by the invaders who abducted Yi Heshu, or were conquered.
However, no matter which choice it is, it can conquer two valleys in succession without leaving traces of battle and blood. The strength of this foreign invader cannot be underestimated.
Ask yourself, Ji Thief can't guarantee whether his team has this strength.
Although the two valleys could be wiped out in an instant with full firepower on his side, it was impossible not to leave traces of fighting.
Looking at it this way, the strength of this new batch of invaders is even higher than that of their own.
What makes Ji Thief wonder what the identities of the other invaders are.
It cannot be from the Flying Wood Mountain Range, because the Flying Wood Mountain Range has been conquered by itself.
Could it be the Scarlet Red Plain to the north of the White Ape Mountain Range?
No, they have such a strong strength, how did the Qingfeng tribe succeed in borrowing the way to go south?
Ji Thief couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure it out.
Or in other words, these invaders were not the original Crimson-Blood people, but a new force that had risen all the way to the south. They happened to be stuck in the White Ape Mountain Range and bumped their heads.
The more Ji thief thinks, the more chaotic his head becomes, the more chaotic he does not know what to do.
He gritted his teeth, threw away all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, clenched his fists, and said in his heart that he must rescue Yi Heshu no matter what.
Yi Weiren is smart and smart, and he feels a little relieved that he won't suffer immediate losses, but the hunter thief can't tell.
It may be because of the relationship that I often stay with Tushan. Shou doesn't like to think about problems more and more. It is hard to think about problems. In Shou's words, do I need to play with them? Anyway, I couldn't beat me again, so I tried to save trouble.
It is precisely because of this that Ji Thief is worried that there will be problems in hunting.
"Everyone rests for the night, and we will continue to look for Yi Heshou's whereabouts tomorrow morning." Ji Thief said calmly.
Everyone agreed. After eating, they extinguished the fire and lay on the buried fire pit together to stay warm overnight.
The sky enters Liangqiu, and it is in the mountains. Otherwise, you will be frozen to death.
Ji Zei lay, tossing about and couldn't sleep, so he opened his eyes and sat up, staring at the moonlight in a daze.
The moment Ji Zei left, Tushan heard the movement and quietly opened his eyes, watching Ji Zei not speaking.
Suddenly, Ji Zei stood up and raised his foot to the side.
Tushan was taken aback, and quickly stood up to keep up.
Following Ji Zei turned left and right to a tree, when Tushan was worried, Ji Zei let out a sigh of relief, untied his pants, and opened the gate to the tree to release water.
Seeing this, Tushan twitched at the corner of his mouth and turned around silently.
After the thief had excreted and turned back, he saw Tushan also followed him, and he was surprised: "Tushan, when did you come here? Why didn't you rest?"
Tushan pursed his mouth, not embarrassed to say.
Ji thief packs his pants while walking towards Tushan: "I'm still going to do something tomorrow. What if I don't have a rest? Go back and rest. There are some clansmen who are on guard?"
Tushan gave a hum, and followed Ji Zei back.
The two walked like this, and no one took the initiative to speak.
When he was about to return to where everyone was resting, the Ji thief walking in front suddenly heard that there was no movement behind him.
Immediately he turned his head and asked wonderingly: "Tushan?"
Looking back, Tushan stood in front of a tree under the moonlight scattered through the dark forest, raised his head to look up, and blinked while watching.
Seeing this, Ji thief was curious, so he walked over and asked Tushan what he was looking at.
Tushan's gaze gradually moved down, and fell on the tree to the position of his waist: "Master Patriarch, look at this tree."
Ji Zei looked over curiously: "Well, it's just an ordinary tree, except that it's a bit thick, what's wrong?"
Tushan shook his head and pointed his finger at the position of the tree trunk that was flush with his waist: "It's not the patriarch, look at this."
Ji thief leaned forward curiously and glanced at the position of Tushan's fingers.
There is a black mark on the gray bark.
It was a little fuzzy at night, and I couldn't see exactly what it was.
Ji Zei took out the flames on his body and looked carefully.
With fire shining, Ji Thief could see clearly this time.
The white bark is black, nothing else, it's charcoal ash!
Ji Zei looked back at Tushan: "Is this what you wiped just now?"
Tushan shook his head and opened his hands with a dazed expression: "No, Lord Patriarch, I just noticed when I looked back just now."
Ji Zei stretched out his hand and rubbed the charcoal ash, and then said: "This is not charcoal ash, it seems to be the ashes after burning branches."
Tushan blinked to look at Ji Thief: "Is it a mark made by our own clansmen?"
When Tushan reminded him, Ji Thief thought of a possibility, and bit his lip at the moment: "No, it may also be a mark that Yi left us."
With that, Ji Thief hurriedly asked Tushan to say: "Quickly, spread out and look for it, and see if there is anything nearby."
Tushan agreed twice, and separated from the Ji thief, looking around the tree.
The forest is so big, it is not easy to find the mark on a tree, let alone at night.
For more than an hour, Tushan found another tree with a mark painted about sixty or seventy steps west of the tree previously found.
Ji Zei ran over and saw that, like the tree before, there was a cross drawn at the waist.
For a time, Ji Thief was overjoyed.
After he and Tushan recorded the location of this tree, they found the next one.
The movements of the two quickly attracted the attention of Hu Ben guards who were standing guard, and both ran over to help find them.
As there are more people, the movement will increase.
In a short while, the 200-odd people who were resting were all startled.
As the night was getting deeper, more than 200 people opened their eyes and got up, re-ignited the torch, and searched for trees with marks in the forest.
This search is to find dawn.
And this was not in vain. Basically, it can be confirmed that the direction in which Yi Heshou and the others were taken away is exactly northwest of the White Ape Mountain Range.
It seems that Yi and them were taken away from this direction.
After receiving such an important message, the Ji thief who had been searching hard last night became more energetic, not to mention sleepy, and chased out in this direction.
While looking forward, Ji Thief still couldn't help laughing: "Yi, Shou, everyone, hold on for a while, I'll come to rescue you right away!"
Just as Ji thief looked down along the clues given by Yi, at the same time, in the valley where the White Ape Tribe was, the sun rose in the east, the hunter yawned, stretched his waist and opened his eyes.
Don't tell me, after A Bai treated the wound to Xiang yesterday, Xiang immediately sent someone to clean up a cave for them, and all seven people moved in.
Moreover, all the fruits, raw meat, etc. are delivered and eat as you please.
At this time, Hunter was gnawing his belly with the fruit, and seeing Yi who also opened his eyes asked: "Yi, now we are trusted, what should we do next? Is it waiting for the patriarch to rescue us?"
