If Feng Er had heard it, he would not have been able to ask "What happened?"

Considering their relationship of more than ten years, Junzu chose to be considerate of his recently disturbed sister for once.

She calmly told Feng Er for the fifth time that she had just found a large number of horse hoof prints at the foot of the mountain in front. Judging from the neat arrangement, there should be a cavalry or a caravan operating nearby.

After listening to Junzu's description, Fenger finally showed his usual reliable self and captured information from a wider range through his excellent hearing.

"There are indeed horse hoofbeats... Two kilometers to the southwest, and three kilometers to the southeast. The sounds are coming from there."

"Two? That's a bit too much for us. Let's go back and reunite with everyone, and then wait for Mother's orders."

Junzu's judgment was completely in line with their mother's requirements of them. If it were any other time, Fenger would definitely have nodded in agreement.

But this time, for some reason, Feng'er subconsciously wanted to do something different from usual - especially something that did not follow his mother's instructions.

She vaguely felt that only by breaking free from her mother's restrictions could she break her mother's fate of being destined to "disappear."

"Not many, three people in the southwest and five in the southeast. We can handle it." Feng Er raised an objection, which was uncharacteristic of him.

"Three or five people... it's certainly not a lot, but the enemy's strength is unknown. We're out for reconnaissance this time and aren't prepared for combat, so the risk is still too great, Sister Feng'er."

"Let's get closer and see, and then evacuate if the situation is not right."

"Uh……"

"Sister Junzu, I believe in your speed."

"……All right."

·

After some back and forth, Junzu finally agreed with Fenger's opinion.

In the past, Junzu always wanted to take risks and was stopped by Fenger. But this time, for the first time in her sixteen years of life, Junzu felt what it was like to be a "proper sister".

Having made up their minds, the two sisters immediately started to act. They decided to go to the southwest, which was closer, first to have a look.

As they walked, Gallopfoot noticed a pika that seemed to be following them.

At first, Junzu didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a coincidence, but after walking for almost a kilometer at a fast pace, she found that the pika was still following her!

Well, this is a problem.

·

Before taking action, Junzu pretended to be calm and asked Fenger's opinion in a code word.

Feng Er thought that perhaps someone who was good at controlling animals had already set their sights on them. If they attacked the pika at this time, they would miss the opportunity and even cause the enemy to attack prematurely.

Junzu agreed with this and secretly praised his sister for her smart brain.

But what should we do if we can’t do anything to the pika?

There was only one Pika, but there were two of them, so Steedfoot and Windear. So Steedfoot came up with the idea of ​​splitting the troops into two groups.

Junzu did what he said and deliberately tripped over a tree root on the ground. Then he pretended to treat his wound and let Fenger go first.

Feng'er saw Junzu's performance and understood what he meant. They continued to move forward alone in tacit understanding.

Now, it's time to test the pika.

Galloping Foot and Wind Ears were both secretly watching what decision the pika hiding in the bushes would make.

No matter who the pika chooses to follow, the other person who is left alone will immediately find a way to find the guy who controls the pika.

However, Junzu's idea was still a bit simple.

When she waited for a while but there was no movement from the pika, she realized belatedly that there was another option: to not follow anyone and just run away!

10.94 - The Gradually Converging Destiny

In a crevice in the Besent Mountains, a weak, pitiful and helpless pika was gasping for breath.

The little mouse rabbit had no idea why it was so exhausted. It only remembered that until just now, it had been mingling with a female mouse rabbit in the cave. How could it have inexplicably run into the stone ditch now?

Could it be that the exhilarating experience just now was all just a dream? Was it just my own imagination?

Looking at the cold stone grooves in front of it, the little mouse rabbit felt the most difficult emptiness in its life. The feeling of loss that it thought it had obtained something but it was actually just a dream even made it want to never reward itself again to urge itself to start a new life.

——(Yes, that’s right. As long as I work hard from now on, sooner or later I will be able to taste the same sexy female pika as in my dreams!)

The excited little mouse rabbit was moved by itself and left in high spirits.

The young man standing not far away and observing it still had the awkward and impolite smile on his face.

·

The reason why Jiang Ran appeared here was because he had been lurking in the shadow of the little mouse rabbit.

After using the "Shadow Master" skill for so long, today was the first time that Jiang Ran was noticed while controlling a small animal.

As for the fact that the little mouse rabbit was discovered by the "Junzu" sister, Jiang Ran attributed it to the desolation of the Besent Mountains and his own lucky mentality.

While following the two sisters Junzu and Fenger, Jiang Ran had thought about changing his "means of transportation" to avoid being discovered, but unfortunately, he didn't meet any suitable person for him to "change" along the way.

Jiang Ran didn't see a single agile small mammal like pika, and the other "transportation" options were all slow-moving insects, such as plateau weevils, ants, and so on.

Jiang Ran knew that this was not because of bad luck, but because the wind was stronger on the plateau.

In such a windy environment, flying insects usually choose to hide temporarily to avoid being blown to unfamiliar places by the strong wind.

Affected by these combined factors, and the fact that Jiang Ran himself did not expect to be discovered, he just slipped away from the Junzu and Fenger sisters.

·

The failure of tracking was indeed a lesson, but fortunately Jiang Ran did not suffer any losses as a result.

In the rugged and difficult-to-move-around Besent Mountains, even if Jiang Ran temporarily distanced himself from the Dark Rabbit sisters, he would still be able to catch up with them quickly.

Now that there is no one around, Jiang Ran has a good time to calm down and sort out the clues at hand.

As for why Jiang Ran followed the Antu sisters, the story started this morning.

After leaving the previous town, Jiang Ran continued to sneak back into the Besent Mountains.

At the beginning he was lucky because he happened to encounter a vulture eating carrion, and then he was able to fly the "plane" and circle directly overlooking the entire Besant area.

Through the high-altitude perspective, Jiang Ran unexpectedly discovered the cavalry of the Feiqi family in the southeast, and there seemed to be tall yak people mixed in with them.

Jiang Ran did not lower his altitude rashly due to the fear that he would be spotted if he flew too low, but he also missed the opportunity to identify the specific person.

Will there be Viviana in the Feiqi family's team?

Jiang Ran sincerely hoped that Viviana would not appear here, because the next Besent area would definitely not be a good place for people to enjoy the scenery in peace.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran saw two more teams of reward hunters. Judging from their movements, they were probably commissioned to explore the Bessent Basin.

After searching everywhere, Jiang Ran couldn't find any trace of the Dark Rabbit Clan that he wanted to find the most.

Jiang Ran was puzzled. How could such a large-scale migration of an entire tribe be the most difficult to find? Could it be that the Dark Rabbits were moving too slowly and hadn't yet entered the Besent area?

Just as Jiang Ran's suspicions began to grow, two fast-moving black spots on the Besent Mountains attracted his attention.

After a brief follow-up, Jiang Ran knew that he had finally won the prize.

Although I don’t know why there are only two people from the Dark Rabbit tribe on the mountain, as long as we have clues, we will not be afraid of not being able to find the location of their tribe.

Just when the situation was about to turn around, the "plane" Jiang Ran was flying broke down.

When Jiang Ran "requisitioned" the Vulture plane, the unfortunate vulture was eating its first meal in three days. Jiang Ran did not let the vulture finish its meal and flew it into the sky without saying a word. So when Jiang Ran was about to continue riding the Vulture plane, the Vulture plane was exhausted, went on strike, and could not fly.

Even Jiang Ran's "Shadowmaker" skill couldn't force the hungry vulture to fly, so Jiang Ran had no choice but to temporarily give up this most convenient means of transportation and instead found a familiar pika nearby on the ground and began his tracking journey.

·

At first, Jiang Ran's tracking went smoothly.

Not only did he identify the information of the two Dark Rabbit girls, but he also read their inner thoughts.

Especially the active mind of the Wind-Eared Sister allowed Jiang Ran to obtain a lot of information at once.

In addition, the two Dark Rabbit girls' identities as scouts also made Jiang Ran understand why he could not find the Dark Rabbit clan's large force from the air.

It turns out that in order to avoid being discovered during their collective actions, the Dark Rabbit Clan would send out scouts to find a suitable route before each group movement.

They certainly would not walk on the wide and open roads without any obstructions. Instead, the dim cave paths were the "broad road" for the Dark Rabbit Clan.

At this moment, the large army of the Dark Rabbit clan was hiding somewhere to rest, but it didn't matter, because Jiang Ran only needed to follow the two sisters Junzu and Feng'er, and they would automatically take him to the tribe's location.

(Okay, that should be about right now.)

Jiang Ran glanced at the time and knew that he should catch up with the Dark Rabbit sisters again.

As he sneaked towards the direction of the Dark Rabbit Sisters, he looked for a suitable new means of transportation along the way.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ran was never able to find a suitable small animal like the pika, but fortunately, he found a blister beetle (máo) with a shiny black back shell.

The blister beetle is a common insect that can not only fly but also crawl very fast.

In terms of crawling speed alone, this guy can reach a speed of at least 15 kilometers per hour, which is about twice the walking speed of an ordinary human, which is more than enough for tracking.

Where will the Dark Rabbit sisters take themselves next?

Jiang Ran couldn't wait to see what the Dark Rabbit tribe looked like.

10.95 - The Dark Rabbit Clan's Temporary Camp

Putting aside the mosquitoes in the middle of the night and the cockroaches on the dining table, insects are creatures that have a very low sense of presence in most cases.

The blister that Jiang Ran was controlling now, with the help of the natural visual protection provided by various shadows, quietly followed the sisters Junzu and Fenger.

·

Jiang Ran both admired and was annoyed by Junzu and Fenger's anti-reconnaissance awareness.

Because of the strange "rabbit" just now, the two sisters, Junzu and Fenger, still suspect that there is an unknown enemy following them.

There was no way that Gallopfoot and Windear would rashly return to the tribe's camp when there was a possibility that they might be followed by the enemy.

Now, they either have to find the enemy hiding in the dark or find a way to ensure that they are not being followed, and neither of these two things is easy to do.

After thinking for a while, Feng Er finally came up with an idea.

Feng'er first swiftly rode on Junzu's neck, letting the fast-footed Junzu carry him all the way and rush straight to a nearby hilltop. Then, taking advantage of the open terrain at the top of the hill, Feng'er used his signature hearing ability to take in all the subtle sounds within a radius of 500 meters from himself.

If there really was an enemy following them and was still following them, they would definitely be forced to reveal their flaws by Junzu and Fenger's actions.

If Feng Er can't find any trace of the stalker, it means that there is no stalker, or the stalker has been thrown off.

·

After listening quietly for a few minutes, Feng Er breathed a sigh of relief.

The stalker she was worried about didn't exist within a radius of at least one kilometer.

Although one kilometer may not sound very far, the average person can only see clearly at a distance of about a hundred meters. If you want to track a specific target at a distance of more than two hundred meters, it is extremely difficult.

Now with his fast speed and a safe distance of at least 500 meters, Feng Er believed that he had the conditions to return to the tribal camp.

Junzu fully accepted Fenger's idea, adjusted his breathing slightly, and immediately carried it out.

On the snow-capped Bessent Mountains, the swift horse, carrying Feng Er on its back, walked briskly.

The thick snow certainly made running difficult, but Junzu's excellent balance ability turned the rugged mountain snow into flat ground.

After deliberately taking a long detour, Junzu asked Fenger to change his posture, from "riding on his neck" to "holding him on his back like a koala baby".

[Note: The image is from the Internet, please delete if infringed]

Then, Junzu jumped off the cliff, transformed into a nimble goat, and descended the nearly ninety-degree vertical slope with almost miraculous skills until she reached a hidden foothold in the middle of the cliff. Only then did she stop this crazy performance.

Then, without waiting for Wind-Ear Sister to get off him, Junzu slipped directly into the secret passage at the resting place.

It turned out that in the middle of the cliff, there was a tunnel leading to the interior of the mountain. When Junzu and Fenger left the tribal camp to perform reconnaissance mission, they went out from here.

The Dark Rabbit tribe's camp is naturally located in this deeply hidden cave.

·

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

In order to hide the existence of their tribe, the Dark Rabbit Clan has developed this style to the extreme.
