Chapter 398 Formation

After entering the forest, Shu Xiaoxiao discovered that Senior Brother Yun actually had a simple map in his hand. It showed the approximate scope of the entire mountain and the locations of those gangs of bandits. They directly skipped the gangs whose addresses they already knew and investigated deeper.

Shu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised: "Brother, what are we looking for?"

Could it be that the senior brother had already found out who was in the innermost part, and she only found out after the plants all over the mountain tipped her off? The senior brother was really amazing! He found out so quickly.

Yun Qinghan held Shu Xiaoxiao's slender waist with his right hand and checked the map with his left hand: "Junior brother, can we let Dabai take us around here?"

Yun Qinghan pointed to the area further inside the map, which was almost at the heart of the mountain.

"I think there should be more than just these bandits in this mountain. I want to go in and take a look."

Shu Xiaoxiao took a look at the map and was immediately filled with admiration. He was worthy of being her senior brother. The people in that area were really within this range. Although the area circled by her was a bit large, with her, she would definitely be able to find the correct place.

"No problem, brother, rest assured. I told Dabai to be careful. Not only can we find their lair, but we won't alert them. With Dabai here, we can easily find the entire Qingsong Mountain, let alone this small place."

Dabai: You really can command the tiger. However, as long as the spiritual spring water is in place, it will be no problem for it to run all over Qingsong. It will just take some time for it.

Yun Qinghan also put his other hand around Shu Xiaoxiao's waist and sighed with satisfaction: "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother."

Shu Xiaoxiao looked down and saw the familiar big hand on her waist, and sighed helplessly. She knew that her waist was very thin and easy to hold, but her senior brother couldn't get addicted to it. As a result, she had to wrap a few more feet of cloth around her waist, for fear that her senior brother would notice something was wrong.

If they hadn't been brothers for so many years, and if her brother hadn't gone on a blind date before and wasn't interested in men, she would have suspected that her brother had fallen in love with her. Even brothers wouldn't be so close!

But while riding on a tiger, the senior brother could only hold her waist, and because he was too tall, when they sat together, she was completely nestled in his arms. How to put it, even if she and the senior brother didn't have a close relationship, it was still a little awkward. And if the senior brother wasn't so handsome, she would have asked Dabai to find an accomplice no matter what. Now she has lost all her masculinity!

Alas, she really paid too much for this bandit suppression campaign.

Shu Xiaoxiao moved her waist slightly and reminded awkwardly: "Brother, Dabai is very stable, you don't have to worry."

Yun Qinghan relaxed a little, but he didn't let go completely. Dabai's fur was thick, and he could sit steadily even without holding his junior brother's waist. But why not take advantage of the benefits that were delivered to his door? He was a little addicted to this thin waist!

Shu Xiaoxiao sighed silently as she felt her waist relaxed a little. Dabai's speed was too fast and her senior brother might have no way to deal with it. Alas, Dabai was still not ambitious enough. He hasn't found a wife yet and he's been thinking about that little spiritual spring water all day long. He's really hopeless.

Shu Xiaoxiao rubbed Dabai's head helplessly: "Hurry up and find a wife?"

Dabai: ???

Why is he looking for a wife? Isn't the spiritual spring water fragrant? If he finds a wife, he won't give away half of the spiritual spring water. He is not that stupid, so he definitely won't find one!

According to the map, Shu Xiaoxiao walked around first, and then went to the place where the plant said it was, after making sure that the time was about right. This should be normal, right? Otherwise, for someone who had never been to Qingsong Mountain, it would be difficult for her to find a bandit's nest that was hiding so well. It was obvious that there was something wrong.

but.................

Shu Xiaoxiao looked up, down, left, right, and even looked forward and backward. Isn't this the place? Where are the bandits? At least there should be a village! At least there should be some traces left. Didn't they say yesterday that these people were still there?

How come there is nothing? Even if we move overnight, we can’t move the entire village away without leaving any traces!

Yun Qinghan also asked in confusion: "Junior brother, did you find anything?"

Shu Xiaoxiao carefully jumped off the tiger's back and looked around: "I think something seems wrong around here!"

While saying this, he touched the big tree next to him and said, "What's going on? Didn't you say it's here? Why is there nothing here?"

The big tree felt the spiritual hands caressing it, and then it remembered what everyone said about the humans who could understand their speech.

He shook the tree trunk a little, and said sympathetically: "Little kid, it's here, the people are still inside, but you can't see it because humans have set up a formation here. You need to break the formation before you can get in!"

Shu Xiaoxiao: Formation, there really is such a thing!

Looking at this scenery which is no different from the surrounding ones, how can we break this formation?

Yun Qinghan also understood his junior fellow apprentice's understanding of the mountains and forests. Now that she said that something was wrong here, Yun Qinghan also observed it carefully and figured out something.

If you just pass by, you will definitely not see anything, but if you observe carefully with a purpose, you will find that the positions of these trees seem to be orderly in chaos, and there seems to be a certain arrangement order.

The trees and weeds in the mountains are generally in disarray, but in this area, not only are the trees in the wrong position, but even the weeds underfoot are sparser, so it would be easy to overlook them if you don't look carefully.

"Brother, I still feel that this area is not right, why don't we look around!"

Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell what was wrong, but she had a cheat, so if all else failed, she could just wait until dark to sneak in. Otherwise, it would be too easy to be discovered in broad daylight. However, she didn't expect that this group of people might be more powerful than they imagined, and they could even set up a formation. So she really couldn't just go in now.

"It should be a formation, but unfortunately I don't know how to do it. I can only find someone who is proficient in formations to break it. This will easily alert the people inside. If they retreat, it may be difficult to catch them. It is not advisable to act rashly now."

"Brother, although I don't understand the formation, I can find a way to get in. I just don't know what the situation is inside. We need to wait until dark." Shu Xiaoxiao touched her nose, hoping that her senior brother would not ask too many questions, otherwise she would not know how to answer.

Yun Qinghan had already guessed that his junior fellow apprentice might have had an adventure, so he naturally wouldn't dig into the details. It would be nice to investigate at night, but there must also be someone who understands the formation.

Thinking of this, Yun Qinghan directly used the ink stick prepared by Shu Xiaoxiao in advance to write down their current situation on the piece of paper that had been prepared long ago, and asked them to find someone who understood the formation as soon as possible. Judging from the appearance of his junior brother, he might only be able to enter and might not be able to solve the formation, so it would be better to find someone who knows about it in advance, so that they can catch them all in one fell swoop.
