Chapter 363 Looking for Little Luban

As the sky grew brighter, Fang Xiaocao pinched her eyebrows and shook her confused head.

Glancing at his subordinates who were ready, Fang Xiaocao forced a smile and said, "Little Luban is one of us. Now she's missing. We can't just ignore her. I have only one request for this operation. I want to see her alive or dead. Let's go!"

As he spoke, Fang Xiaocao took the lead and rode a camel towards the sand dunes.

Taotie and Mole immediately followed on camels to prevent Fang Xiaocao from being left alone.

Liu Yishou, Qianmian and Wen Shi, stayed in the camp, waiting for news.

Fang Xiaocao made this arrangement after careful consideration.

First, Qianmian is a wounded soldier, and like Wen Shi, he is a weakling in combat.

If you follow along, not only will you be of no help, but you may also be a drag on the entire team.

If little Lu Ban is not found, and they two are involved, the loss will outweigh the gain and this deal will not be worth it.

Secondly, this arrangement can also prevent Xiao Luban from coming back suddenly and not knowing where they are and missing them again.

"Gopher!"

Fang Xiaocao reined in the camel in front of the sand dunes and shouted to the mole.

"your Highness!"

The mole immediately rode a camel to Fang Xiaocao.

"Use your skills to look for traces left by little Luban."

Fang Xiaocao ordered in a deep voice.

However, Fang Xiaocao did not hold out hope.

This is a desert, surrounded by sand.

Even the footprints downstairs will soon be buried by the rolling yellow sand.

Several hours have passed, and the chance of finding any traces left by little Luban is already very slim.

"Yes!"

The mole responded, jumped off the camel, and began to search carefully around.

Fang Xiaocao rode on the camel's back, looking at the sand dunes in front of him. From a distance, the dunes did not seem high, but when they got closer, Fang Xiaocao found that the dunes were really not short.

It’s almost as high as a hill.

"Your Highness, I have discovered something!"

Just as Fang Xiaocao was sighing, the mole suddenly shouted loudly.

The mole's cry brought Fang Xiaocao back to his senses, and he looked towards the mole.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Fang Xiaocao called out to Taotie and immediately drove the camel towards the mole.

"What did you find?"

Coming to the mole, Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, look here."

"These are little Luban's crossbow arrows. There is one here and two more on the sand dune. It should be that Su Wanqing did run towards the sand dune, and little Luban tried to shoot her with the crossbow here."

"It's just that the crossbow arrows were shot off-center and didn't hit Su Wanqing. It was dark in the sky, and Xiao Luban didn't retrieve them or missed the three crossbow arrows when he retrieved them. This confirms that Xiao Luban and the others did run towards the sand dunes."

The mole told Fang Xiaocao his guesses and speculations.

Fang Xiaocao nodded repeatedly, thinking that the mole's reasoning made sense: "It makes sense!"

"go!"

"Let's go up the dunes!"

"Gopher, you lead the way."

With a determined search direction, Fang Xiaocao decided to continue searching without hesitation.

"Yes!"

The mole responded, took the reins of his camel from Taotie, jumped on the camel, and walked towards the sand dunes.

As it walked, the mole kept an eye on its surroundings, not wanting to miss any clues that might have been left by little Luban.

The sand dunes were really high. Even with camels, it still took Fang Xiaocao and her friends more than half an hour to reach the top of the dune.

Unfortunately, along the way, the mole did not find any traces of Little Luban. Of course, no body was found either.

This is a good thing for Fang Xiaocao and the others. At least it proves that Xiao Luban is likely to be safe before reaching the top of the sand dune.

"Gopher, look again!"

Standing on the sand dunes, Fang Xiaocao looked at his camp and gave orders to the mole.

The mole nodded and jumped off the camel.

Start searching inch by inch.

When the mole dug up a patch of floating sand, his pupils suddenly contracted rapidly: "Princess, there seems to be blood here!"

Fang Xiaocao's heart sank, and she had a bad feeling. She immediately jumped off the camel and walked over quickly: "Where is it?"

The mole pointed at the sand and said, "This dark red sand ball here must have been formed by blood dripping. The amount of blood must have been quite a lot, but it's hard to tell whether it's human blood or animal blood."

Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Keep looking!"

"It would be best if we could find out where they are going."

Fang Xiaocao felt that this was unlikely to be animal blood and was most likely human blood.

Either Xiao Luban shot Su Wanqing, or Su Wanqing ambushed Xiao Luban on the top of the sand dune and left behind bloodstains.

"Your Highness, there are footprints here!"

Searching around the bloodstains, the mole soon made another discovery.

Fang Xiaocao and Taotie immediately came over, and sure enough, there was a footprint made of sand and blood on the ground, which was preserved.

Fang Xiaocao frowned slightly. Now she was sure that it must be human blood.

"The toe of the shoe in the footprint is facing forward, and the center of gravity is downward, which shows that the owner of the footprint had the intention of going down the sand dune."

Without waiting for Fang Xiaocao to ask, Zudi made a judgment based on his own experience.

"Chase!"

Fang Xiaocao said expressionlessly.

"Drilling rat, pay attention to the scene along the way. The injured person is Xiao Luban. It is very likely that when he was chasing Su Wanqing downwards, he lost too much blood and was exhausted, and rolled down from above and was buried under the sand."

Fang Xiaocao warned in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The mole responded, but did not ride the camel. Instead, he chose to lead the camel down the sand dunes.

This way it’s less likely to miss any clues.

Fang Xiaocao and Taotie rode on camels and followed the mole closely.

Because they were walking, and the mole had to check for suspicious traces along the way, the speed was even slower.

An hour later, when Fang Xiaocao and the other two followed the direction of the footprints and went down the sand dune.

Along the way, the mole found several more bloody footprints, all with the toes pointing downwards.

This proves that the mole's judgment was correct.

This guy did make it all the way down the dunes.

"There's a dead body here!"

Just then, the mole shouted.

Fang Xiaocao's heart twitched and she hurried over. A human arm was exposed in the sand in front of the mole. It was obvious that there was indeed a person walking under the sand, and his life or death was unknown.

"Dig it out and see who it is!"

Fang Xiaocao ordered.

The mole and the glutton were executed immediately.

Soon, a bloody corpse was dug out from the sand.

But this body is a man's.

It was not the little Luban or Su Wanqing that Fang Xiaocao had imagined.

"The body of a man?"

Fang Xiaocao frowned.

Last night, only one woman, Su Wanqing, escaped from the camp. Qianmian also confessed that except Su Wanqing, no one else ran away from his camp.
