Ding Xiaolan was shocked and said: "Someone is setting fire" Qi Lu responded nonchalantly: "Don't talk nonsense, this is not a forest, and there is no one home, what damage can he cause if he wants to set fire?"
"Could it be that someone is destroying the evidence of the crime" Ding Xiaolan had an idea.
"Hah, that's an interesting idea."
"It's a strange fire, let's leave it alone."
Lao Wu already had the intention of retreating, and he was afraid that it was the trap set by the black cat of unknown origin.
Qi Lu replied with a smile: "This fire is indeed a little strange, let's go over and take a look." ” "Since that's the case, then what are you waiting for" Ding Xiaolan looked eager to try.
"Okay, let's go."
But Lao Wu didn't do it, he stood in place and hesitated and refused to move forward.
"Old Wu, if you don't come with us, the black cat will come to trouble you later."
Qi Lu's words suddenly had an effect, and Lao Wu hurriedly followed them towards the place where the fire was shining.
Gradually, they approached the firelight, and looked around them with a blank field of grass, and no one could be seen.
There is a lot of firewood piled up in the center of the field, and a roaring fire is burning on the firewood.
Qi Lu heard the "crackling" sound of the firewood burning, the flame was a meter high, flying in the night wind, and the surrounding scenery also changed with the direction of the fire.
The light and shadow of the fire blown by the night breeze were originally a little weird, but now they make people feel like a group of demons dancing around.
There was a chill in the wind, and the three of them stood in front of the fire and looked around, Ding Xiaolan said with a surprised face: "Why is there no one?"
Qi Lu proposed: "Maybe the person who burned the fire walked away temporarily, there is no supernatural aura here, we might as well wait for him to come back." ” Lao Wu didn't want to, just now in that weird restaurant, he and Qi Lu also didn't notice anything abnormal, but they still fell into the trap set by someone of unknown origin.
He picked up a few sticks of wood from the side of the fire and prepared to open the fire and extinguish it.
But at this moment, Lao Wu's expression changed, and he beckoned Qi Lu to come over and watch together.
It was a big puddle of blood, and it was still wet.
Qi Lu dipped a little blood stain in his hand and sniffed it in front of his nose, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"This is human bloodstains, and the blood has not completely dried, indicating that the wounded have been bleeding for less than half an hour."
Lao Wu said in a deep voice: "It seems that this blood was left by the person who set the fire." ” "It's possible."
Lao Wu said suspiciously.
At that moment, a bird flew overhead, let out a short, high-pitched call, and disappeared into the night sky in an instant.
Although everyone didn't see the bird's appearance clearly, Lao Wu heard from the birdsong that it was a crow.
"Look over there."
The girl is careful after all, and Ding Xiaolan also found something abnormal.
"Ah, maybe there is more than one person who bakes the fire" There were traces of trampling in the wild grass, and there seemed to be more than one person, and Qi Lu, who was bent down, saw blood stains on the edge of the weeds somewhere.
Lao Wu also saw it, and he whispered: "Maybe the injured person left from this side, should we follow the traces?"
Just when Qi Lu couldn't make up his mind, he heard Ding Xiaolan scream, and then she habitually hid behind Qi Lu.
Because of the strange blue smoke rising from the fire, the smoke was misty, and then spread out with the wind.
There was a strong fragrance flowing along the wind into the noses of the three of them, Qi Lu was startled, but then relieved, because this fragrance was not poisonous, it was probably the aroma emitted by the burning of these firewoods.
Lao Wu asked Qi Lu uncertainly: "Don't you think this fragrance is a little familiar?"
Qi Lu was silent, he picked up a burning firewood, extinguished the fire, and carefully examined the firelight.
"It's firewood split from pine branches, but the scent I smelled just now wasn't rosin."
Qi Lu looked at the rough texture on the firewood and fell into deep thought.
"Don't you think the surface of the firewood is very smooth," Lao Wu was also picking up a piece of firewood to check.
Hearing Lao Wu say this, Qi Lu's heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Grass juice" "Yes."
Lao Wu nodded and said, "It's really strange, why does the person who burns the fire smear every piece of firewood with grass juice?"
Qi Lu sword eyebrows lightly locked, you must know that the grass is not a mortal thing, it is a divine grass that grows in the salty mountains of the Northern Heavenly Realm, which is the territory of the Sea Emperor Yujiang.
"The person who burns the fire is not simple, maybe he deliberately started this fire to bring us here."
Qi Lu threw the firewood back into the fire, then stood up.
Lao Wu hesitated and said, "Another god has descended to earth."
"As far as I know, the gods of the north are almost dead in the last catastrophe, and even the whereabouts of the Sea Emperor Yujiang are unknown."
As they spoke, there was a rustling sound in the grass around them, and some small beasts about the size of rats seemed to be attracted by the firelight, and they emerged from the grass and focused around the fire.

"Mouse" Ding Xiaolan was speechless halfway through the words, because these small animals were not so much mice as small rabbits, and she had never seen such strange little animals.
This animal is covered with shaggy white fur and has long ears, which do resemble rabbits, but their four legs are the same length and short as rabbits.
They were not afraid of people at all, and a few of them actually crawled to Ding Xiaolan's feet, standing up like people, opening their big black jewel-like eyes, and looking at her curiously.
At such a close distance, Ding Xiaolan saw clearly that there were a pair of protrusions on the backs of these small animals, which looked like small sarcomas.
Curious, she crouched down and tentatively stroked the bulge with her hand.
Hearing only the sound of "bang", Ding Xiaolan was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand, and in an instant, something stretched out from the bulge on the small animal's body.
It was a pair of white wings, and in the blink of an eye, the small animal flew up and hovered above Ding Xiaolan's head.
As if they were infected, all the small animals gathered around the fire stretched out their wings and flew into the night sky, but they did not fly away, but stayed above Qi Lu and the others.
"The flying squirrels of Tianchi Mountain."
Qi Lu turned his face to Lao Wu.
"There's a lot going on tonight."
Lao Wu replied quietly.
This kind of flying squirrel is not a mortal thing like the grass, and their habitat Tianchi Mountain is also within the jurisdiction of Yujiang.
Tianchi Mountain is near Xianshan Mountain, and the two mountains are only separated by more than 100 miles.
According to common sense, the immortals are two heavens, and the doubts in Qi Lu's heart about who brought these guys to the world are getting stronger and stronger.
The Tianchi flying squirrels that were flying in the air suddenly dispersed, and a small animal with golden fur flew from behind them, and it landed in front of Qi Lu and crouched.
"Flying Squirrel King" Qi Lu was secretly surprised, except for the yellow hair on his body, this little animal was no different from those flying squirrels in other aspects.
This flying squirrel king was holding something in his mouth, and at this moment it spit out this white flower thing at Qi Lu's feet, Qi Lu calmly picked up this thing and looked at it, it turned out to be a human calf bone.
There was still a bit of dirt on the bones, and it was yellowish in color, and it was obvious that the person with the leg bones had been dead for a long time, at least a few hundred years.
"What do you mean by this" Qi Lu was even more puzzled, feeling that tonight was becoming more and more wonderful, and maybe there would be unexpected results later.
The Flying Squirrel King seemed to understand Qi Lu's question, it flew up, first flew forward a few meters, and when it turned around, it found that Qi Lu did not follow, so it flew back and circled around his body.
Qi Lu asked: "You mean to let me go with you" The Flying Squirrel King nodded, and then slowly flew forward, the numerous flying squirrels following him like his little henchmen.
Qi Lu said to Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan: "Follow it, there will naturally be an answer when the time comes." ” "I'm afraid it's a trap."
Lao Wu's face was suspicious.
"I don't know.
However, you can check it out. ” "If you're scared, stay here and wait for us to come back."
Ding Xiaolan took Qi Lu's hand and urged him to move forward.
In her heart, she already liked these cute little animals, and Ding Xiaolan didn't want to believe that they would have malicious intentions towards her.
"I'm really convinced, okay, let's go together."
Lao Wu shook his head helplessly.
The three of them hurried forward, and the flying squirrels deliberately kept their distance from them, but they did not let them get lost in the dark.
After about half an hour, Qi Lu and the others came to the foot of a small mountain.
"I remember that there used to be a hopeless flat land with no dirt hills."
Old Wu muttered, the panicked expression on his face becoming more and more obvious.
"I know."
Qi Lu responded, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment.
The further you go, the more scattered the formation of the flying squirrel group becomes, and there are signs of people passing by in the grass from time to time, which seems to confirm that the person who summoned the flying squirrel is waiting for Qi Lu and others to arrive in the mountains.
Suddenly, Qi Lu, who was walking in front, stopped.
"It should be here."
At this moment, the three of them had come to a swarthy cave.
The broken vines and stirred cobwebs fluttered in the air, and the cracks on the vines were still fresh, and it seemed that someone had just entered.
At this moment, the golden flying squirrel king let out a clear sound from its mouth, and suddenly all the flying squirrels gathered around it.
Behind it, it was as if a hole had been torn open in the night sky, and the flying squirrels scrambled into the rift and never came out.
"Is your mission complete" Qi Lu looked up at the Flying Squirrel King, who nodded lightly, and then flew into the rift as well.
The light was gone, the night was getting darker, and the rift was quietly closing.

"They're just gone," Ding Xiaolan was a little depressed.
Qi Lu grinned and said, "Why, you still want to catch one as a pet."
"Of course, can you catch one for me?"
"No problem, but the next day a mountain god came to your house and beat you, I can't take care of it."
"Hmph" Ding Xiaolan grimaced at him, knowing that he was joking.
Lao Wu said suspiciously: "We really want to go into the cave" "Come in."
It's all here, how can there be any reason not to enter, Qi Lu doesn't want to sleep with an unsolvable mystery.
So the three of them groped their way to the cave, but Qi Lu did not lose his vigilance, and when he beckoned Lao Wu to take out a short knife to prevent accidents, his fingers were also full of spirit runes. i0 t1706231537:
