Chapter 495: Traces were discovered again.
Seeing this, the big river turtle immediately tensed up and turned to look in the direction of the horse hoof sounds. A group of people were coming this way.
It retracted its neck and looked at the many fruits on the ground that it had not finished eating. It was reluctant to eat them, but Momo ran away. It was not stupid, so it had no choice but to pick up a fruit and turn around to crawl into the river. It moved very quickly and jumped into the river and then sank its body.
Waves appeared on the surface of the river. After a while, the waves gradually became shallow and returned to calm.
The group of people who came here were very surprised to see a huge turtle diving into the river from a distance.
I had heard before that there was a river turtle spirit in the Xihe River, but I didn’t expect to see it today!
That should be the river turtle spirit, right?
After all, it was too huge, with a body more than one meter wide. They had never seen such a big turtle!
And it ran really fast, like a nimble little animal, it rushed into the river in a flash!
When they reached the river, they stopped their horses. Someone rubbed his eyes and said, "Was my vision blurry? Was that a giant turtle?"
The others replied.
"Yes, it's a giant turtle! It's probably the legendary river turtle spirit!"
"Damn it! This turtle must be a spirit. How can an ordinary river turtle grow so big? It runs so fast, even a rabbit can't run faster than it! It even knows how to hide from people!"
"How did this river turtle spirit come ashore?"
"We should go ashore to eat some fruit. Here—" the man said, pointing to the fruit tree not far away.
The others turned around and saw some fallen fruits under the tree and traces of footprints nearby.
The large turtle footprints were not surprising, but when they saw a strange crawling mark on the side, their eyes widened and their expressions became much more serious.
That mark belongs to the giant snake in the river!
They had previously explored the snake's tracks, so they recognized the crawling marks on the ground at a glance.
"That giant snake has been here before!"
The leader said this and immediately dismounted, cautiously walking towards the fruit tree. As he walked, he quickly looked around, but there was no sign of the giant snake nearby.
The others also dismounted and walked over. While they breathed a sigh of relief, they were also a little disappointed.
This time, in addition to keeping an eye on Guo Jiaqu's whereabouts, they also have to pay attention to the movements in the Xihe area. If they can find the giant snake's trace, they will receive a reward.
However, although the giant snake was not seen, there were traces of its presence here, so it was a good excuse to report.
It’s just a little strange, why would the giant snake come here? It can’t be that it also eats this fruit like the big turtle, right?
They picked up the apples on the ground, looked at them carefully, and found another clue. These fruits seemed to have been knocked down from the tree by something, because the marks were obvious.
"Could these fruits have been knocked down by the giant snake?"
"Judging from the traces, this is possible. It can't be a turtle climbing a tree, right?"
"Indeed, there are traces of climbing on the tree trunk. It looks like it was left by a giant snake, but does it eat apples?"
After they explored the area with puzzled looks, they found that the surroundings were calm, so they divided their men into three groups.
Some people continued to track Guo Jiaqu, some went back to report the situation to their master, and the rest stayed here, watching the situation on the river from afar.
After the two groups of people left, the remaining group sat under the shady trees and stared at the river.
After a long time, they thought there would be no movement, but unexpectedly, the big river turtle did not leave. It suddenly popped its head out of the river quietly!
Such a big head emerged from the water so suddenly. They had been keeping an eye on the movements in the river, so they naturally saw it first.
It looked clearly in the direction of the apple tree, and immediately, its eyes met theirs.
This situation is as if it is a fruit thief who is still thinking about the fruit after escaping, but when he sneaks back, he meets the real owner.
In an instant, they all stood up vigilantly and drew their swords, but the next moment, it dived back into the river with a "gulp".
Seeing it escape, they breathed a sigh of relief, but still stared at the river vigilantly.
They were not too afraid of a big river turtle, even though it was rumored to be a spirit. After all, they had swords in their hands, and as long as they didn't go into the water, it would be easy to deal with.
What they feared was the giant snake in the river. The threat posed by a turtle is different from that posed by a snake.
However, as time passed, the river remained calm and the big turtle never showed up again.
……
On the other side, when Si He and others almost reached the border of Huijiang City, they climbed a nearby higher mountain and tried to look at the war at the border.
Unfortunately, the visibility was not very good and there were many mountains ahead, but she could no longer get any closer because the road was blocked by soldiers.
Here, she could only faintly hear some shouts and sounds of killing. Judging from the noise, the scene should be quite intense.
Even though Yue Fuli had brought a lot of people with her before, she was still a little worried, after all, swords and knives have no mercy on the battlefield.
Hearing the solemn voice, Si He's desire to make a treasure became even stronger.
Time passed little by little, and as night approached, the solemn and murderous sounds in the distance gradually became smaller, and then calm returned.
Looking at the darkening sky, Si He told Gao You and the others to wait here and she would be back soon.
After she finished speaking, without waiting for them to dissuade her, she jumped and flew towards the mountain in front.
This was the first time they had seen her skills so directly, because when she went out before, it was basically after nightfall, and she was plunged into darkness in the blink of an eye, but now it was not too dark, just a little dim.
The opposite mountain was very steep, so she just stepped on the branches and with just a little help, she flew a long distance. Her body was light and agile, and very fast, like a flying swallow, and she flew to the opposite mountain in the blink of an eye.
This extraordinary display of martial arts left everyone in the group stunned.
Gao You and Gao Zi became anxious when they saw her heading to the chaotic place alone, and so did the guards accompanying her.
In the end, they had no choice but to let the one with better lightness skills catch up first.
After Si He climbed over a hill, she stopped, stood on the trunk of a big tree, and looked at the flat land below the mountain in the distance.
There were corpses everywhere, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
The battle situation is good, and the soldiers on Yue Fuli's side are quietly cleaning up the battlefield.
Si He quickly glanced around and looked carefully, and finally saw Yue Fu's figure. He was standing on the battlefield, holding a bloody sword, and seemed to be discussing something with his men.
Seeing that he was fine, Si He was relieved. After a while, she quietly left.
……
On the other side, Yue Hejiang and Chen Sangsang also heard the news reported by their subordinates.
"Have you found traces of the spirit snake again?"
Chen Sangsang stood up excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
