Chapter 331 The Cat Team makes meritorious deeds!

Li Xuan is not a cow, so he naturally doesn't chew cud.

He was just eating.

The Emperor's Bone Ring on Li Xuan's tail is full of delicious food, so he won't be abusing his stomach wherever he goes.

What he kept chewing in his mouth was the delicious food that had been stored in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

After dinner, Xu Lang and others took turns to rest.

After Li Xuan finished eating, he still couldn't sleep, so he said hello to Xu Lang and wandered around nearby.

It was his first time to sleep outdoors in such a deep mountain and old forest, so he was inevitably surprised and excited.

At night, the biggest impression on people in the wild woods is that it is noisy.

That's right, the chirping of the insects gathered together and turned into a noisy and disorderly symphony.

Autumn has just begun, and the weather has not yet reached its coldest. These tiny beings are singing their last elegy of life together.

The wind sings in the morning and evening, accompanied by the sound of autumn at night.

When the weather gets colder, I'm afraid there won't be such excitement in the woods.

Li Xuan walked in the forest and came to the stream where he had been.

They tracked here during the day and lost the clue, which made Li Xuan still a little unconvinced.

During the day, he thought about how he would show off to others, and finally took Xu Lang and the others to catch all the robbers by smell. He returned to the palace the next day, and saw the shocked eyes of the two stewards. , take away your own reward.

Unfortunately, all these beautiful prospects were interrupted by a creek.

"These cunning robbers!"

But now he really couldn't smell any more blood.

This also brought Li Xuan's pursuit to an end.

"These guys should have walked along the creek for a while."

"But they certainly won't be able to walk in the stream for too long with their cargo."

Li Xuan looked at the creek, which was no deeper than his knees.

Even if the water is not deep, walking in it is very strenuous.

And this is especially true when carrying heavy-weight cargo.

Li Xuan walked aimlessly along the stream for a while. In addition to the sound of water flowing in his ears, there was the tireless chirping of insects, which made him feel a little restless.

"This won't work. If we really search along the way, even if we add Xu Lang and others, the efficiency won't be much higher."

"Isn't there any other way?"

Li Xuan suddenly became distressed.

He looked around, but all he could see were trees, and his view was completely blocked.

At this time, Li Xuan looked up and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, as the saying goes, stand high and look far away. Let's take a look at what's around here first, right?"

Li Xuan did it as soon as he thought of it and took action immediately.

He found a thick tree, ran up it, and then stepped hard on the strong trunk.

The next moment, his figure shot into the night sky with a whoosh.

The night is dark today, with only a crescent moon occasionally showing up in the sky, and not even many stars visible.

And Li Xuan's little body was getting higher and higher, and soon he was getting further and further away from the ground beneath his feet.

In his field of vision, the nearby terrain was clearly visible.

Li Xuan clearly saw that the creek under his feet gathered into a lake not far away. From a distance, the area was not large, and a crescent moon was reflected in the center of the lake.

He then looked in the opposite direction. The creek stretched into a hill, and further away it was buried in the deeper night. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see clearly.

"Which direction are the robbers going?"

Li Xuan silently asked questions in his heart, but could not get an accurate answer.

But at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly saw a faint flash of light in the hills in the distance, but then disappeared, like a will-o'-the-wisp, making the cat unpredictable.

"what is that?"

Li Xuan stopped looking in other directions and stared at the place where the glimmer of light shone before, but then there was no movement until he landed again.

Li Xuan stood on the ground, his head tilted, and his little face was full of confusion.

"Everything in the wilderness is either haunted or deceptive!"

Li Xuan was a little excited, but he didn't expect that he just jumped casually and discovered something unusual.

He thought about it and decided that it would be better to go and take a look for himself.

Notifying Xu Lang rashly now is not a good idea.

"I'm going to confirm the situation first. Don't say it's a firefly or something like that. That would be embarrassing."

Li Xuan figured out the direction clearly, and then started running wildly in the forest.

The terrain in the forest is complex and there are trees blocking the road everywhere.

But for Li Xuan, it felt like he was in a deserted place, bouncing between trees at a very fast speed.

After a while, Li Xuan entered the hill and then came to the place where the dim light was previously.

But there is nothing here, it is no different from other places in the mountains.

But Li Xuan could clearly smell the faint scent of meat filling the air.

"Someone grilled meat here!"

Li Xuan smelled it and quickly looked for it.

Fortunately, the smell of meat has not completely dissipated. For Li Xuan, it is nothing more than the most obvious road sign.

Li Xuan pursued all the way, but this time he did not dare to let go of speed. Instead, he moved forward cautiously, just to make no noise.

Who would have a picnic in a place like this in the middle of the night?

Moreover, Li Xuan arrived here very quickly after the glimmer of light came on, taking only a quarter of an hour at most.

But only the smell of meat remained at the scene, and no other traces were left at all.

If you say that the other party has no evil intentions, even the cows won't believe it.

Li Xuan had natural flesh pads, so he walked quietly. Now coupled with his own caution, he walked like a ghost.

Smelling the smell, he chased for more than five miles and came to a mountain col with leeward wind.

There was a dense forest near the mountain col. Li Xuan smelled the aroma of meat and went all the way into the forest.

Li Xuan followed the smell and entered the forest nervously, bending his waist and moving almost close to the ground.

Because he heard something moving in the forest.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

A rhythmic, crisp muffled sound came from the dense forest, accompanied from time to time by one or two unsuppressable muffled hums.

"Ah this..."

The innocent little cat didn't think wrongly, but thought:

"You are disturbing people in the woods at night. If I don't go in, I will severely criticize you."

But after Li Xuan took a few steps, he didn't dare to go any further.

A thin rope painted in grass green appeared in front of him, blocking it just in front of his eyes.

"Damn it, there's even a mechanism set up."

Li Xuan immediately backed away slowly, not daring to continue walking on the ground.

It's a good thing that his height is different from ordinary people, otherwise he would have fallen into the trap of this mechanism just now.

Li Xuan turned around and climbed up a tree, then jumped forward on the tree.

He is light and does not make any sound even if he steps on a branch.

Along the way, he discovered many vicious mechanisms.

"There are many mechanisms on the ground, but there are just some warning bells on this tree."

"It seems that the main thing to guard against is people."

Li Xuan has excellent night vision. After being frightened by the first trap, he was very alert.

Before jumping to the next branch, he must make sure there is no bell hanging on it. If he can't see clearly, he would rather take a detour.

After a lot of effort, Li Xuan successfully arrived at the core area of ​​the dense forest and finally saw a figure.

But the scene inside inevitably made him a little disappointed.

In the camp in the middle of the dense forest, stood a man holding a long whip.

There was a long and narrow scar on the man's face, which stretched from his left eyebrow to the right corner of his mouth. It looked quite ferocious.

"Next time, it won't be a whip."

The scarred man's deep voice sounded and he said calmly.

Lying on the ground were two naked, bloody figures.

The two of them were so angry that they didn't even have the strength to speak.

After Scarface finished speaking, he turned around and left. Immediately afterwards, someone dragged the two figures on the ground down for treatment.

"It turned out to be a whip."

Li Xuan was inevitably a little disappointed when he saw this situation.

But now it seems that he has found the right person.

In the camp in the middle of the dense forest, there was a place where things were piled up and covered with waterproof tarps.

"It looks very much like the goods that were robbed by Ping An Trading Company."

Li Xuan has already determined that these people in front of him are robbers, so naturally they look like them.

The camp was also pitch black and there was no fire.

But Li Xuan could still see clearly with his night vision.

At a glance, there were twenty or thirty people in the camp, and some were standing on trees to serve as sentries.

In addition, I am afraid that there were many secret sentries on the way Li Xuan came, but they did not find Li Xuan, and Li Xuan did not find them.

After all, Li Xuan is just a cat, and it is still difficult to be noticed.

At this time, there was also a slight conversation below:

"These two guys really don't want their lives. They dare to disobey big brother's order."

"It's no wonder they both eat it. These days they always eat water with dry food and dried meat. They can't taste any oily smell at all, and they feel like they've got a weird taste in their mouths."

"Hush, no words! If you want to be whipped, don't bring me down!"

Following a burst of muttering, the conversation gradually died down.

Only then did Li Xuan understand what happened before.

He had seen a glimmer of light before and probably it was the two whipped people who were roasting some kind of meat. However, Scarface from before found out and caught them back and severely punished them.

However, after previous conversations with these people, Li Xuan discovered that they were not as professional as he had expected. At least they were not able to enforce orders and prohibitions. Instead, they seemed to be acting like a grassroots team.

If those two people weren't greedy for barbecue, Li Xuan wouldn't be able to find him here.

"Where did this group of robbers come from?"

Li Xuan did not rush back to report the news, but stayed here to observe for a while.

In the camp, most people were resting, and only a few people standing in the trees were alert to the surrounding situation.

When it comes to the level of vigilance, this place is far inferior to Xu Lang and others.

Otherwise, Li Xuan would not have been able to break in so easily.

According to Li Xuan's observation, this team is mixed.

I was able to hide my traces so well on the road before, so I guess there was someone in the team who was responsible for these things.

"It doesn't look that difficult to deal with."

Li Xuan thought in his heart.

"But it's not my place to come forward in this matter. You can watch it later."

After making up his mind, Li Xuan quietly returned the same way and slowly exited the dense forest.

After leaving the dense forest, Li Xuan did not dare to be careless. He carefully returned to the previous hill before daring to let go of his speed.

This time, he stopped rushing and jumped from the mountain to the creek with a few big jumps, and then returned to Xu Lang's resting place several times faster than when he went there.

When Li Xuan went back, Xu Lang happened to be still awake.

When he saw Li Xuan coming back from a distance, he quickly lowered his voice and greeted:

"Sir, you are back."

Although Xu Lang didn't show it, he was relieved in his heart.

He wanted to go with him before, but Li Xuan said no, and he couldn't force him to follow.

But now that he saw Li Xuan returning safely, Xu Lang felt relieved.

Li Xuan didn't do any ink, jumped directly to his shoulder, then patted his shoulder with his tail, motioning for him to extend his palm.

Xu Lang immediately followed the instructions, and then felt the handwriting written by Li Xuan on his palm.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

Xu Lang asked in disbelief.

He never expected that Li Xuan would already find traces of the group of robbers just once he went out.

Li Xuan nodded seriously to Xu Lang.

Seeing that Li Xuan had no intention of joking, Xu Lang immediately let out a short whistle.

Then, a series of rustling sounds sounded in the forest. When Li Xuan turned his head and looked, the remaining eunuchs in colorful clothes had gathered in front of him.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion:

"Aren't these guys sleeping?"

Li Xuan knew that Xu Lang had arranged light and dark sentries, but the rest of the people were probably resting.

But when Xu Lang whistled, these people immediately reacted, these are some kind of perverted existence.

Seeing the reactions of the colorful eunuchs, Li Xuan felt a little more confident in his next action.

"Although there are fewer people than the other party, it shouldn't be a problem to take down that group of robbers."

After gathering the manpower, Xu Lang immediately explained the current situation.

"Lord Axuan has found the traces of the thieves. Without further ado, let's go over and take a look now."

"Be prepared for direct combat without any slack."

The eunuchs in colorful clothes looked at each other, but then they replied in unison:

"yes!"

Li Xuan discovered that these guys really didn't have any nonsense.

Even if you have thoughts in your heart, you will never show it on your face, and your actions will be clean and neat.

"Sir, please show me the way."

Xu Lang did not let Li Xuan lead the way.

Because the color of Li Xuan's coat is not obvious in the night, it would be troublesome to follow him. It would be more convenient to let Li Xuan guide the way on his shoulder.

Moreover, Xu Lang didn't know Li Xuan's speed.

It is easy to be embarrassed whether it is faster or slower than expected, but it is better this way.

It has to be said that in just a short moment, Xu Lang considered many things.

Li Xuan was not polite, sitting on Xu Lang's shoulder and pointing his tail in one direction.

Led by Xu Lang, the eunuchs in colorful clothes took action instantly and disappeared.

Li Xuan felt the twisted and retreating scenes on both sides, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, according to me, it's still a lot worse."
