C4 How could it be you

This discovery alerted both of them at the same time.

"More than two hundred catties?"

Wei Huo silently said and frowned, whether it was Wang Zhan or Ling Xiao, they both did not have that weight.

"What do we do now?"

Xue Yan turned her head and asked softly.

"Right now, we still don't know where Wang Zhan and Ling Xiao are. If there are still others here, perhaps they would know a bit about the situation. Of course, we don't know the background of the other party, so we should be more careful."

Wei Huo thought for a while before replying. With the two of them scurrying around like headless flies, it was hard to say when they would find them, so they wanted to find out what was going on.

Xue Yan naturally did not object and nodded.

The two of them started tracking the footprints on the ground. Fortunately, the guy who left the footprints was strong enough. Even in the mountains, as long as they were careful, they would still be able to track their trail.

The two of them travelled back and forth through the two forests, when Wei Huo suddenly stopped Xue Yan.

Xue Yan's figure paused, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Wei Huo frowned, he extended a finger and pointed to a col not far away, Xue Yan immediately turned to look.

A faint smoke rose from the col. In the midst of the greenery, there seemed to be quite a few small houses.

There were more than ten places he could see clearly, which made him look like a small village.

Xue Yan asked softly. "What kind of clan is this?"

Wei Huo also thought of this, and immediately agreed: "It's possible!"

With that, he frowned and added, "Generally, such clans are very xenophobic. I wonder if there are traps around here."

Wei Huo and Xue Yan made a gesture, and the two of them moved even more cautiously. They slowly approached the tribe from the mountainside.

At the foot of the mountain, the two of them used the cover of the vegetation. The cat was on the ground, probing into the tribe.

At this time, the two of them also realized that there were more houses in the tribe than they had seen before.

Perhaps it was time for them to eat, so there were people in front of every house. Smoke rose and fell, moving with the wind but merging into the fog, making it harder to see clearly.

"Are we going in openly to ask around, or are we going to sneak in to check?"

After all, Wei Huo was the captain, so Xue Yan had no choice but to ask for his opinion.

Look at them, they can't get their hands on each other. It's obvious that they're on guard against something. Not only that, the patrols are also on alert. The atmosphere is somewhat heavy.

Xue Yan could not help but take a few more glances. She was intelligent to begin with, and did not pay attention to it previously, but now she realised that something was amiss. Her expression suddenly turned serious.

"That's why I feel that they might not welcome us in the first place, and that they might not like us anymore. So, I think it's better for us to sneak in!"

Wei Huo did not say that he wouldn't go in. The atmosphere here was abnormal, causing him to suddenly feel uneasy, so he decided that no matter what, he would go in to take a look.

However, there were many people in the clan at this time, so this was not the right time to do so. The two of them squatted at the side and waited for the time to pass. When the sky finally dimmed, they suddenly stood up and carefully moved towards that direction.

The two of them walked very slowly. The closer they got to the tribe, the more likely it was that there were some unknown traps. As a result, no one dared to advance recklessly, choosing paths that were easy to hide in.

But just as Wei Huo was about to step onto a bunch of grass, an ear piercing bell sound came out.

Xue Yan's face changed, she anxiously turned her head, only to see Wei Huo's helpless and bitter smile.

Wei Huo suddenly felt something on his leg, and he knew that it was bad. Sure enough, when the bell rang, a commotion immediately came from the nearby tribe. Following the clashing sound of weapons being taken out, several figures quickly rushed over.

There was no time to hesitate, Wei Huo hurriedly retracted his leg that was stepping on the grass, without needing to call out, he turned and ran with Xue Yan.

The moment they moved, they immediately exposed themselves. When the people on the other side saw them running away, they raised their long spears and swords and charged in their direction.

These people were used to living in the forest, and had always lived here, so they were naturally familiar with the terrain. Although Wei Huo and Xue Yan's reactions were not slow, after running for a while, they were unable to increase the distance between them.

As he turned his head to look, the pursuers behind him suddenly scattered, intending to surround the two of them.

Wei Huo was a little depressed in his heart, the feeling of being chased wasn't nice at all. Moreover, the other side had a lot of people, so it wasn't good for him and Xue Yan to fight with each other. He could only increase his speed.

Returning to the foot of the mountain, the two rushed to the peak without hesitation. Only by going up the mountain would they be able to shake off the pursuers behind them. After all, there weren't many things on the mountain, but there were many stones.

The two of them were extremely fast, but the pursuers weren't slow either. After passing by a huge rock, the two of them stood on the back of the rock at almost the same time. They used their palms to push the rock down.

With a "shua la" sound, the rock rolled down the mountain along with the lightning, smashing into the trees along the way. Some of them even broke off from the force, following that, the rolling rocks on the mountain madly rolled down.

The two of them had no time to check the situation below, they turned around and continued to rush upwards.

However, before they reached the mountain peak, they felt something suddenly dim above their heads. Familiar rumbling sounds could be heard, followed by the sweeping mud and broken branches heading straight for the two of them.

Their hearts skipped a beat at the same time and they immediately split into two. But the things that rolled over their heads were too fast for them to get completely out of the way, even if they did their best.

As he steeled his heart, Wei Huo quickly dashed up a large tree. Right when the rocks and rolling wood collided with the tree, he tapped on the tree's trunk, and jumped out of the tree before it fell to the ground, brushing past the flying rocks.

Xue Yan used almost the same method as him, barely escaping danger. The instant the two of them descended onto the ground, a swift figure suddenly dashed towards them.

The two of them tensed up and immediately raised their palms, forcing the figure into the middle. Wei Huo's reaction was fast and nimble, he decisively made his move and grabbed onto the man's wrist, locking him in front of him.

Xue Yan's hand came out in time to strike that man's neck.

"No, it's me, it's me!"

Wei Huo did not see the man's face, but he felt that the voice was familiar. However, Xue Yan's palm strike immediately stopped in mid air.

"Che Yue, why is it you?"

"This is a long story, let's shake off this group of people first!" Che Yue seized the opportunity to struggle free from Wei Huo's grasp, turned around, and walked to the side.

Wei Huo and Xue Yan knew that this was not the place to talk, and anxiously followed.
