Chapter 220 Murder

At night, they left the ephedra tribe and walked east along the cliff.

About 20 miles around the stockade, it is a safe area, and there is basically no need to worry about accidents. But it's hard to say if it's more than 20 miles. Twenty miles is already the limit of ordinary exploration. No one knows what is hidden outside? In order to hide their whereabouts, the group wrapped their whole body in cloth, and even covered their heads in a coarse cloth cloak.

Thirty miles away from the camp.

There was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps behind him. Obviously, there were special circumstances. This is one of the three detectives sent by Buji, who is mainly responsible for observing the area behind him. Someone caught up with the team and didn't have time to rest. He hurriedly reported, "Boji Warriors, we seem to have been followed."

Buji stopped immediately when he heard the words. He made a sudden stop gesture, and everyone was on standby. He then hurriedly rushed to the ground, put one ear close to the ground, and listened carefully.

Everyone did not dare to make a sound and held their breath to refresh.

After a few minutes, Buji moved his ears away from the ground and looked at the companion who explored the way doubtfully: "With my experience, there is no change within three miles nearby. Are you sure someone is following you?

The companion in charge of reconnaissance nodded repeatedly and explained, "I saw someone flashing far away. I can't read it wrong. It's definitely not a beast.

The night did not say anything. He vaguely guessed that it might be a pursuers arranged by the patriarch.

Buji is not trained, and his experience is gained from fighting with beasts for a long time. He is good at dealing with beasts, but he is at a loss as to how to deal with the secretly prying human beings. After a little hesitation, he ordered the team to continue to move forward, but an extra person was arranged to strengthen the observation and inspection behind him.

The cliff is not flat, high and low, with the largest drop of more than 200 meters. There are some gentle slopes that can be climbed directly. But when you encounter a cliff, you can only take a detour.

About 37 miles away from the camp, they encountered the first big crack. The cliffs on both sides are like knives, at right angles to the ground. The cliff is smooth and difficult to climb. The crack is more than 300 meters wide and reaches to the bottom of the valley. At a glance, it was like an abyss, and the water rippled below, blocking the passage.

A group of people can only turn from south to north and take a detour from a flat place.

Buji kept his heart, and he arranged another companion to hide near the cliff, and told him to stay longer and follow him. The rest bypassed the crack and slowed down slightly.

Calculated in the dark at night, with his concept of time, it took almost four hours to reach the crack and leave the ephedra tribe. The speed is not fast, but the victory is stability. It took another two or three hours to bypass the crack.

After more than an hour, Buji stopped and told everyone to rest in place.

They didn't eat, because the diet of the ephedra tribe was irregular. Generally, you eat something when you feel extremely hungry in your stomach. People with good physical strength only eat two meals for a whole day, that is, three days and seventy-two hours in the concept of night. If the physical strength is poor, it will generally not exceed three meals. That is to say, they only replenish food once for at least 24 hours.

This extremely hungry and thirsty living habit once made the night admire. If you pull a vote from here and return to the trial field, it will definitely be a strange soldier. But at present, I haven't even figured out the surrounding situation, let alone looking for a way out, so this thought has been suppressed for the time being.

It took a break for a while, but the companion who stayed at the crack still did not come back. This situation is somewhat abnormal. The Buji, who usually talks a lot, volunteered to Buji to explore.

Buji responded to his request, but he was a little uneasy. He said, "Go back quickly and try not to get out of our sight. In case the situation is not good, retreat first and wait until they come together.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention." Hay responded, carrying a wooden stick and rising up. Before long, he went away in sight.

Buji climbed a high stone, looked west, and stared at Hay's figure.

There is no sun during the day in this world. The light depends on the shining milky white light spots above the head, so the line of sight can't penetrate far. After Hay left three or four miles, he could no longer catch him.

Everyone waited patiently.

After a long time, Hay finally appeared in sight. He carried a wooden stick in each hand. Obviously, the extra one was not his own.

Seeing this situation, everyone's mood suddenly sank down. Several men couldn't help asking Buji to go back to check.

"Wait a little longer and ask Hay what's going on." Buji calmed down and stared at the figure getting closer and closer.

Before he got close, Hay's voice came back first: "No, something's wrong! I only picked up this stick. The uneasiness in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, and the results of Hay's investigation undoubtedly sentenced the companion to death.

Everyone gathered around and asked about the specific situation.

The wind and waves seen in the night are too big, and this kind of small scene is already difficult to scratch his mood. He sat on one side and just sneered. Because he noticed that there was a damage to the foot of Hay's linen trousers, and when Hay walked, he deliberately hid the damage, which was not an extremely abnormal behavior.

This detail allows him to draw many pictures and even some bad guesses. But it's not the time to remind Buji, so he became a bystander for the time being.

The onlookers are clear, and the authorities are confused.

Buji's forehead began to sweat, and this kind of loss of companions is not common. This gave him a strong sense of crisis and quickly made some judgments: "Hai, have you confirmed that our companion has disappeared?"

"OK"

"Is it a man or a beast?"

"I don't know"

It doesn't make sense to look back. Now everyone needs to make a package to deal with the crisis after themselves.

Night is an outsider. Although he has won Buji's friendship, it is still difficult to integrate into this circle. No one asked him, and he had no desire to take the initiative.

Sometimes, hiding it properly is more valuable than rushing to the front.

Buji discussed with everyone and decided to move forward. No matter what crisis is behind you, the way forward is even more important. Everyone was depressed, so there was not even a word during the march, and the atmosphere was quite dull.

The clls stepped on the earth and stone, making a creaking and creaking sound, like messy music, playing in the wilderness.

People of the ephedra tribe are usually barefoot, but this time the distant door is not familiar with the terrain, so they put on this kind of simple shoes that are neither suitable for their feet nor comfortable, and even some dragging.

On the feet of the night is a pair of cloth shoes, which is the craftsmanship of the waitresses at home. After coming to this strange environment, I haven't replaced the new shoes, so my toes have been unbearable for a long time and came out of the upper.

The black, sticky feet have not touched the water for more than ten days, so the sour smell is understood by the earth... Compared with biological and chemical weapons, it is naturally worse, but it is also enough to cause everyone to sniff their noses from time to time and sweep their eyes around.

Everyone is close to each other and moves forward. He lowered his body and entered a crack more than half a person high.

"What does this smell like?" Hai couldn't help but ask questions first. Everyone has a mind, and no one is willing to pay attention to him. So Hay asked for fun and got angry first.

The night was blushed by Hay. He knew his own affairs, and this athlete's foot was really quite lethal. He adjusted his breath, faded the blush on his face, and then pretended to be nothing, frowned and shook his head.

Hai really didn't suspect him. He was fooled by his superb acting skills.

The crack is getting deeper and deeper, and only one person can be accommodated. Everyone is moving forward and staying vigilant.

The most discordant is the smell of salted fish in the air.

"Come to my senses!" Hay walked at the front of the team and sent prompts to the back from time to time.

......

Fifteen miles behind Buji and the others, a thieves-eyed man looked doubtfully at the rift across the cliff. The footprints on the ground were faint, and the group of people they tracked disappeared.

"Head, come and have a look." A spy reported to him and led him to a stone. The stone, at least two people high, is oval, only two meters away from the cliff.

A rough mark is drawn on the stone, which should be an individual, in an upside-down posture, or a fall. Then an arrow extends down the man's body. A mark is engraved at the bottom of the character, like a bird's claw.

Around the abyss behind the stone, there are some bumps more than ten meters below, and the stone is covered with blood, which seems to be telling that there was a tragedy not long ago.

Sanhe pulled the cloak, covered his head and face, and then pulled his body back from the edge of the cliff: "Well done, this boy is cruel and promising!"

The people with him didn't seem to understand, and all showed a puzzled expression. Sanhe did not explain. He waved his hand and continued to follow the traces left by Buji.

The crowd gradually faded away. After a long time, they poked out a head from under the cliff and climbed up flexibly. This is a woman with dark skin, many strange tattoos on her body, and two bone daggers on the outside of her thigh.

It's not someone else, it's the first butterfly.

She witnessed a murder and was about to catch up and ask what happened, but she found someone spying behind her. As a last resort, she had to climb down the cliff and temporarily hide on the cliff.

Inadvertently found some secrets and got rid of the tracking of others.

The first disc came to the edge of the stone, carefully observed the marks, then closed his eyes, reflected the strange picture into his heart, and then began to leave.

To the east is the cliff, and to the north is the wilderness.

The first disc is like a dark and vigorous cheetah, running barefoot on the top of the cliff. From time to time, lower your body to avoid being discovered by the tracker in front of you.

They are in trouble at night, and it's a big trouble.
