Chapter 38: Encountering a Spy at Night
Walking through the dark, dense forest, Han Li vigilantly opened his sense of touch, and the mountain paths that were already blurred in the eyes of ordinary people were as clear as day to him.
The fact that he was so cautious was not a caution against the wild beasts in the mountains and forests, but rather an instinctive reaction that had been cultivated.
One must know that ever since the Seven Xuan Clan moved to the Caixia Mountain Range, the already small number of animals of all sizes in the mountain forests had long since been gradually cleared out, not to mention the ferocious beasts, or the various venomous snakes in the wilderness, which had mostly become the belly of many disciples.
This habit of being careful and keeping an ear to the ground at all times in an unknown environment is not something he was born with. Rather, it was something that had been deliberately cultivated a posteriori after repeated considerations after he had escaped from Dr. Mo’s hands last time. This good habit would allow him to avoid quite a few accidents and minimize the danger factor to the lowest limit in his various actions in the future.
The mountain wind seemed to be getting louder and louder, with one “whimpering” sound after another, giving people some chills.
From afar, Han Li felt that he was about to leave the edge of the forest.
He gently let out a breath, walking alone in this dark dense forest made his heart feel quite depressing.
Han Li accelerated his pace, his steps a bit bigger than earlier, as if he wanted to get out of this forest as soon as possible.
Suddenly a fierce mountain wind blew over head-on.
After the mountain wind passed, Han Li violently stopped his steps, seemingly discovering something unusual, he frowned, then craned his neck and listened with his ears.
A few moments later, Han Li’s complexion slowly became grave as the faint sound of footsteps came from his ears, and although the owner of the footsteps was walking at a very light pace, and was far away from Han Li, it was indeed two people who were walking towards him head on, and were getting closer and closer to him.
With a gentle flash of his body, Han Li cat-like dodged into the dense forest by the side of the road, agile and silent.
Behind a large tree more than ten feet away from the path, his figure stopped, his entire body curled into a small ball, hidden behind the tree trunk, looking from the front of the tree, a trace of Han Li’s figure could not be seen.
After finding a good hiding place, Han Li slightly settled his heart.
It wasn’t that he was overly sensitive, but in such a remote place, in the dark of the moon and high winds, there would be two people who would come here, it was really a bit out of the ordinary, nine times out of ten, there were some unseemly things.
He didn’t want to be hunted down and killed for breaking into someone else’s privacy and triggering a killing spree.
However, if he was safe and sound and not in danger, to listen to others’ little secrets, Han Li was still very happy to do so. He wasn’t a rigid hypocrite, and wouldn’t turn away a good thing like this that was delivered to his door.
”…… Down the mountain of …… arranging the …… time …… people …… gang master …… “A burst of words that lowered his voice, intermittently from the distance came over, at this time the wind on the mountain is very strong, most of the words were blown by the gusts of wind, only a small part of the words, came into the His ears.
Han Li stunned, did not expect to really overhear the secret, in this hundreds of miles of land, can be called the gang master, only the wild wolf gang’s gang master “golden wolf” Jia Tianlong, so a great enemy of the door, in this place to be heard, is really some intriguing.
Jia Tianlong, in the minds of the disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect, is a bloodthirsty devil. In the rumor, he has a big waist, green face and fangs, tyrannical temperament, three times a day to eat human flesh and drink human blood, as inhuman as the general existence, really scared a lot of young disciples in the door.
However, according to Li Feiyu, the actual situation is not so. Jia Tianlong this person, not only does not look tall and scary, but also very thin and handsome, age is not big, only the early thirties, just the opposite of the rumors. However, his bloodthirsty character of killing people without moving was just as real and terrifying as the legends, otherwise, with his looks, how could he suppress the other gang members who came from horse thieves.
Han Li recalled his memories about Jia Tianlong and sucked in a mouthful of cool air in his heart, hastily curling his body a little more and his breathing became low and slow.
”…… This time …… steal …… the list to …… lay hands on the …… “Another burst of whispering sound, vaguely transmitted over, than just now to be much clearer, this time two people should be closer to Han Li.
Han Li did not dare to breathe out loud, knowing that if he was discovered, there was only one way to die, these two people must be the spies sent by the Coyote Gang, and would never let a third person live to know their secret.
”…… plan …… to …… no …… fast! …… “Slowly, the voice of these two people talking, even lower up, looks like talked about the core of the matter.
After another short while, the voice enlarged some more, but then can no longer be heard clearly, only the whistling wind sound from the ears, they have walked through this section of the mountain road in front of Han Li, the figure gradually far away.
A moment and a half Han Li still crouched behind the tree did not dare to move, until the use of Changchun Gong to determine that there is indeed no second person within dozens of feet later, only slowly climbed up.
This time he is considered to have recovered a life, fortunately is ahead of time to find the two spies movement, otherwise and these two people will meet face to face. In terms of the other party’s identity, he would definitely end up being silenced, and even more pathetic was the fact that in terms of his own stature, not even the slightest hope of escaping existed.
Han Li didn’t move in place, gently rubbing his chin with his fingers as he gazed in the direction the two had disappeared, his expression slightly thoughtful.
Judging from their incomplete conversation, it seemed as though the other party was going to take some sort of unfavorable action against the Seven Mysteries Sect in the near future, and that action was one that had a not-so-small relationship with a certain list.
What was even more surprising to Han Li was that even though he hadn’t seen the exact figure or appearance of these two people, the voice of one of them was recognized by him.
Although he had only dealt with them once or twice, with his extraordinary memory that was different from that of ordinary people, he still connected the someone in the conversation with the unassuming steward of the mountain’s great kitchen.
That this person who had sold him rabbits, who in his impression loved to take advantage of small advantages, had an eight-legged beard, and had a mercenary image, could be a spy sent by the Coyote Gang, this really put Han Li’s nerves to the test.
However, after thinking back, it wasn’t too surprising, only with such an identity could he frequently travel back and forth between the mountains and the hills, and not attract the attention of others when passing on news.
