Chapter 192 Tracking and Attacking!
"What do you think?" Xu Ye looked over with a half-smile.
Bai Tao's face fell immediately.
Based on his understanding of Xu Ye, this guy is definitely not the kind of person who would easily give up his decision!
"Hey, didn't you hear it?" He came forward and looked at Xu Ye eagerly, "The captain said that if we go, it will be considered a failure of our mission."
"It's just a D-level mission." Xu Ye touched his chin and said casually.
"But you're right, we really can't go too ostentatiously."
He thought for a moment, "Let's go into the mountains at night!"
"Can I not go?" Bai Tao showed a hopeful look.
Xu Ye smiled but said nothing, just patted his shoulder, "You don't have to go."
"But if I'm not mistaken, there should be more than one puppet."
"He must have used some method to lock your position."
"If you stay in the city and are chased by the puppets..."
"I'll go!" Bai Tao's expression suddenly changed, his face full of obligation and determination: "How can I let you go alone on such a dangerous exploration!"
"We live and die together, even if there is any responsibility, I will bear it with you!"
Xu Ye looked at Bai Tao, whose expression changed faster than turning a page, and pointed to the ground, "You dropped something."
"What?" Bai Tao looked down, but found nothing.
"Moral integrity."
...
At 6:30 in the evening, Nancheng Mountain.
Xu Ye and Bai Tao took advantage of the night that was not completely dark and quietly touched the top of the mountain.
"Do you remember where you chased that kid before?"
Xu Ye held a flashlight in his hand, slightly illuminating the mountain road ahead, and asked.
"It's around here." Bai Tao looked around slyly, his eyes kept sweeping, and he planned an escape route.
"Oh?" Xu Ye looked up, "That is to say, when you saw the light flashing, it was on this hill?"
He took advantage of the light of dusk and looked up at the mountain, but did not see any light.
"Yes, but because it was only a moment, I can't remember exactly where it was." Bai Tao nodded.
"I understand." Xu Ye nodded, then turned on the flashlight and walked towards the mountain.
"It seems that if we want to know what is hidden on this mountain, we have to go in and take a look."
Bai Tao followed him nervously, his toes tapping the ground, the whole person seemed to be floating, and his vigilance was full.
Xu Ye walked very calmly, and the flashlight kept sweeping the ground, as if looking for some traces.
The two walked along the mountain road for fifteen minutes.
Xu Ye suddenly stopped, with a gleam in his eyes: "Found it!"
"What did you find?" Bai Tao curiously poked out half of his head, only to see the flashlight shining on a footprint.
"This footprint should be the footprint of the missing member of the Hunting Team." Xu Ye half squatted down, observed carefully, and came to this conclusion.
"How do you know this?" Although he had experienced this many times, Bai Tao was once again shocked by Xu Ye's wild reasoning.
"We haven't even seen that guy!"
"The reason is very simple." Xu Ye pointed to the footprint, "This footprint is about 26 centimeters."
"Normally, 6.9 times the length of the footprint is the approximate height of a person."
"That is to say..."
He looked at Bai Tao, like a teacher looking at a student, and gave an encouraging look.
"I'm not good at math, I can't figure it out." Bai Tao looked up at the sky, his mouth twitching.
"That is to say, this person is about 1.8 meters tall, but the tallest of the three Void Hunters we met before, Captain Tao Pan, is only about 1.75 meters tall." Xu Ye could only shrug and say his own conclusion.
"In summary, this footprint is most likely left by their missing team member."
"But there are so many people and media going up and down the mountain these days, how can you be so sure that this is from that team member?" Bai Tao asked.
"You are in Chuancheng, don't you know this?" Xu Ye said casually, "Four days ago, there was a heavy rain in Chuancheng."
"After the heavy rain, the government sent people to block this mountain and did not allow anyone to approach."
"In other words, the footprints here could only be left by the people behind."
"And just yesterday, the only people walking on the mountain were the members of the 25th team of the Hunting Void."
"They were searching in all directions. There were no signs of vehicles passing by the foot of the mountain just now. It is obvious that the place where we went up the mountain was not here."
"Let's follow the footprints and maybe we can find the team member before them."
"If I'm not mistaken, the traces of this team member are definitely related to the puppeteer!"
While talking, he had been leading Bai Tao up the mountain road.
Through the traces under their feet, the two quickly went deep into the mountains.
After walking and stopping for fifteen minutes, Xu Ye suddenly stopped and frowned.
"From here, his footprints started to become messy, as if he was being chased."
"Perhaps it was here that he encountered some danger." He fixed his eyes slightly, stood up and swept the flashlight around.
Soon, the flashlight focused on the tree trunk next to him.
"There are traces of trampling on the tree trunk, which means that the person chasing him moved by jumping back and forth between the tree trunks."
"Is this an awakened person, or another puppet?"
He didn't think about it for too long, but continued to move forward.
"The footprints here are becoming messy, and the distances are uneven, and there are dried blood on both sides."
"This means that this member of the hunting team seems to be injured."
"What are these holes on the ground? Are they traces caused by some kind of attack or ability?"
"Is it left by this hunter, or by the person chasing him?"
Xu Ye analyzed the traces at the scene while scanning the surroundings.
"I think you shouldn't go to Longxia College, you should be a detective." Bai Tao whispered aside.
Even if these clues were placed in front of him, he was just confused and couldn't see anything.
But Xu Ye was able to analyze so many things with these clues!
"In fact, the main job of a detective is to investigate extramarital affairs and stalk people. Investigating cases is the job of the police." Facing Bai Tao's complaints, Xu Ye just replied calmly.
"In my opinion, a detective is more like a professional pervert..."
His complaints stopped abruptly, and his face changed drastically.
But he heard a sound of breaking air from behind him, and a sense of crisis instantly filled his body!
"Xu Ye, be careful!"
Bai Tao's reaction was faster than Xu Ye's. Almost at the moment when the sound sounded, he shouted!
Puff——
When Xu Ye wanted to dodge, it was too late.
But he saw blood splattering, and his right shoulder was directly pierced by an invisible attack!
