Chapter 72 The Hand of Death, the Messenger of Death! (1)
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng did not notice during the conversation. Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the other side of Ma Xiaotao, had already grabbed his hands into the soil on the ground.
There is only one wife? She is very self-disciplined in women. What is my mother? The depressed hatred in her heart is a bit deeper under Dai Yuheng's words. Maybe he is a hero, but he is definitely not a qualified husband or father. If he intervenes, why should we mother and son... The sky is getting darker and darker, and in this forest, it feels like we can't see our five fingers. At this moment, Wang Yan came back.
"Everyone come here." Wang Yan waved and signaled everyone to come to his side.
The students from the outer school took action immediately, but the seven people from the inner school seemed a little impatient. In terms of cultivation, Wang Yan was also the soul king, but he was just similar to them, and he was also the teachers of the outer school. These students from the inner school have always only recognized their strength. They did not have much respect for teachers whose cultivation was not stronger than them. However, the teacher was a teacher after all, so they still gave them face.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "I just investigated the situation around me, and combined with the observations along the way, I have found some points at present."
"The Wenlan tree has appeared nearby. The Wenlan tree is a relatively rare tree species. The heart of the tree can be used as medicine. The trunk is as hard as iron, which is most suitable for making various furniture. Its growth requires extremely high air requirements. Only in places with extremely rich vegetation can it have its living environment. I have seen in an ancient book that the place where the Wenlan tree grows must be at least 50 miles deep into the dense forest before it appears. At the same time, the Wenlan tree is lucky to be cold and cold, and its heart has a good auxiliary effect on soul masters who practice Yinhan martial souls."
Ma Xiaotao frowned and said, "Teacher Wang, what do you mean by saying this?"
Wang Yan said: "I mean that the appearance of Wen Lan Tree means that we have entered the core area of the Mingdo Mountains, at least the edge of the core area. According to our intelligence, the leader of the Death Hand bandit group may be an evil soul master. Just now, I discovered this."
While speaking, he took out a piece of tree trunk from his storage soul guide. Half of this trunk was scratched by something, and there was a cylindrical hole inside.
Wang Yan said: "This is Wen Lanshu. The heart of Wen Lanshu is dark blue. It is no longer there. In other words, it has been poached. Based on our goal this time, we can boldly assume that this was done by the bandit leader or his subordinates. The purpose is to be used for the bandit leader to eat. If this is true, then there is a great possibility that the enemy we face is an evil soul master. At the same time, it also means that we should not be far from the enemy."
Ma Xiaotao said: "I agree with the previous point, but why do you say that we are not far from the enemy? Will this Wen Lan tree not grow anywhere else?" Wang Yan analyzed so much information with a little clue, which made everyone admire him, so Ma Xiaotao also unconsciously used the respect he deserved to the teacher.
Wang Yan smiled confidently and said, "I just said that the Wenlan tree is a rare tree species. Since it is rare, it naturally rarely appears. What I just said is its growth environment. But the places where Wenlan trees really grow are extremely rare. Around here, there are quite a lot of Wenlan trees. Its tree heart is the largest Wenlan forest I have ever seen. And its tree heart not only has auxiliary effects for soul masters who practice Yinhan Wu Soul, but also enhances the tolerance of the internal organs to Yinhan Soul power.
It is a rare good thing. It can be regarded as a treasure for them. If it were you, would you give up this good thing? Therefore, I can almost conclude that since the bandits have discovered and dug Wen Lan Shuxin here, the place where they are stationed will definitely not be too far away. We are lucky and have found the target without taking any detours. Otherwise, the mountains are so vast that if they don’t find them tomorrow, they will have to be reconnaissance in the air to attract the attention of the enemy and defend and counterattack."
Wang Yan's words made everyone feel impressed. Among all the fourteen students, he taught only Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. But the three of them only knew that Wang Yan had a deep research on martial soul and had a profound knowledge. However, he did not expect that he had such rich experience in the wild.
Ma Xiaotao asked subconsciously: "Teacher Wang, what should we do now? Are we waiting for the rabbit?"
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "No, we must take the initiative. People always leave some clues when walking in the woods. Although it is dark now, with my personal strength, we cannot find these traces, but we have Yu Hao's mental detection, so it is not difficult to find these traces. Yu Hao, follow me and follow my orders to explore."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao quickly came to Wang Yan's side. He also wanted to learn how to find unknown enemies in the dense forest.
Wang Yan led everyone into the woods about 300 meters, stopped beside a Wen Lan tree, and said, "I just discovered that the traces of this tree in the destroyed Wen Lan tree are the latest, that is, they were finally destroyed. Yu Hao, use your mental detection to search as carefully as possible within a 30-meter diameter range."
"Yes." The mental detection was started, and Huo Yuhao's cultivation level was improved, and now he could share spiritual detection for ten people. But in order to make the detection more accurate, he just shared the mental detection with Wang Yan alone.
Suddenly, the three-dimensional images around him appeared quickly. Under Huo Yuhao's mental power, the detection did not cover the diameter range of 30 meters, but spread out one meter and one meter. In this way, the information detected would not pour into Wang Yan's mind at once, but gradually appeared, which would naturally be more helpful to his analysis and exploration.
Wang Yan gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up. Among the students he taught, his favorite was the child in front of him. Perhaps Huo Yuhao is not the smartest among the students he taught, but he is definitely the most mature, steady and hardworking among his peers. Moreover, he is the most talented among the students Wang Yan has taught.
"Stop." Wang Yan shouted softly, and Huo Yuhao's exploration range suddenly stopped.
Wang Yan gave him a gesture of not moving, and then slowly walked forward at three o'clock on the side, squatted in the bushes and looked carefully, then verified through Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing, waved to everyone and slowly moved forward in that direction.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed Wang Yan and always maintained the exploration of mental detection. Everyone else followed behind, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng protected both sides, one left and one right, and the control system and the auxiliary system soul master were in the center. Xixi and Jiang Nannan, who were also agile attack system, disappeared into the night, obviously exploring the surrounding situation at a distance. Everyone moved forward in an orderly manner, although the speed was not fast. However, Wang Yan's pace of moving forward was very firm.
Huo Yuhao also provided mental detection to Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and Wang Dong. After careful observation, they became more and more impressed by Wang Yan.
Wang Yan was always able to find some subtle traces with the help of Huo Yuhao, such as broken branches, shallow footprints left on the ground, rags left on the branches, and some blood stains left on the thorns.
Following these clues, they gradually walked out of the woods in front of them, and for more than half an hour, they were moving forward at this slow speed.
"Stop." Wang Yan suddenly raised his hand. The students following him immediately squatted down and quickly approached him.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "The direction we are looking for should be correct. There are a lot of footprints in front of us, which are obviously often passed by people. The enemy should be not far away. Please adjust your status and prepare for battle."
The woods ahead have become very sparse. Through Huo Yuhao's mental detection and sharing, even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng can clearly find the traces. Obviously, Wang Yan must have found the right place.
"Teacher Wang, it's amazing." Ma Xiaotao whispered, and there was obviously more respect in the eyes of other students in the inner courtyard.
Wang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "My talent in cultivation is a little worse, and I have devoted a lot of energy to these miscellaneous studies. It's nothing great. After this competition, I may work in the inner courtyard. If you like it, I will teach you all at that time. Yu Hao, how far is your mental detection at the farthest?"
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment and said, "If you detect straight lines, you can reach more than 200 meters, but it cannot last long, because it will consume a lot of mental and soul power."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, use a straight line to scan the direction from 11 o'clock to 3 o'clock in front of you. See if you have any discoveries."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao gathered his eyes, and the golden color in his eyes became a little more intense. The mental detection suddenly changed from a comprehensive to a one-way direction, and went straight forward. With the slight shaking of his head, he scanned the small fan-shaped direction that Wang Yan mentioned.
"To the left, you can vaguely find a hillside about 500 meters away. The footprints are heading down the hillside." Huo Yuhao quickly gave the answer, and at the same time ended his straight line detection. The consumption of this detection method is still quite large for him.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the enemy should be down the hillside. If I guess correctly, there should be a cave where they hide. When we take action later, we must first confirm their identity. After confirming that it is the Hand of Death, I don't need to teach you what to do. The reserve team is with me and is responsible for reinforcements. Xiao Tao, the main attack depends on you."
