Chapter 374 - Mutant (2/2)

Xiao Bing kept climbing and arrived at the top, only to find that behind the mountain, there was a steep cliff, which made it impossible for him to descend. God knows why there was such a deep cliff. Any martial artist would die if he fell from this cliff.

That meant that Feng XIII could not have hidden behind the mountain. Where he could be?

Xiao Bing was immersed in his thoughts.

The mountain top was a wilderness, and there were no trees or dense bushes. He felt safer and did not need the protection of the Gang spirit. Xiao Bing could even sense a centipede moving towards him.

This was doubtless the safest place on this mountain for Xiao Bing, so far. Xiao Bing sat down with his legs crossed. It seemed that he could take a rest before continuing his search for Feng XIII.

The sky was completely dark now. Feng XIII was also a powerful master. If he wanted to hide, Xiao Bing would have a hard time looking for him. So he decided to take a rest first, instead of wasting his energy. Otherwise he might be at a disadvantage if he encountered Feng XIII tomorrow.

But what was important now was that Feng XIII could not keep his Gang Spirit going for such a long time. Where he could go in such a dangerous forest? Maybe there was a place he was not aware of in this mountain?

Xiao Bing sat down, his legs crossed and eyes closed, seemingly half-asleep. Xiao Bing would never lose his sanity, no matter how dangerous his environment was. Xiao Bing could go without water or food for two or three days, but he could not go without sleep.

Since he could not find Feng XIII now, he decided to have a good slumber.

Then Xiao Bing fell asleep and woke up the next morning.

Feng XIII must have already gone far away during the night, if he intended to leave.

But Xiao Bing was 80 percent sure that Feng XIII was still within this mountain. He could not exert his Gang spirit for long, which meant that he must have found a place that had no bushes.

As long as there were no bushes, there was no need to be worried about toxic insects. Xiao Bing could sense any poisonous creatures, as long as the distance between them was within ten meters. He kept up his vigilance, even when he was sleeping, so he was not worried at all.

But the grasses were rather dense around the mountain. One could not be sure if something would suddenly show up and bite him, no matter how powerful he was.

This was the environment where Feng XIII had survived the night. Xiao Bing was certain that Feng XIII had not left the mountain, because one of the ships had been destroyed by him and he had captured the other one, which meant that Feng XIII could not leave by ship.

It would be difficult for him to leave this place on foot. First of all, the mountains here stretched relentlessly and bottomless cliffs would inevitably be encountered at the end. If he wanted to take a detour, it would take at least a day, Besides, he was carrying a person and he could only use his Gang spirit for one or two hours, which meant he had to take several hours’ rest. So he must not have gone far, let alone leaving the mountain.

Besides, Xiao Bing did not believe that this man would travel the mountain road in the night. It was too dangerous.

Xiao Bing rose and found that the mist had dispersed. He immediately started to search for clues. After about ten minutes, Xiao Bing found the man’s footprints. They were headed toward the west. Xiao Bing followed, but then he found the footprints getting fainter and fainter, as the bushes became denser. Xiao Bing had to keep going west.

After about ten minutes’ walking, Xiao Bing paused, feeling extremely agitated。 He had never felt this bewildered before. Searching for a man in such a mountain was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Xiao Bing did not know which way this man had gone, since the footprints had disappeared.

He suddenly found a drop of dried blood on the grasses. Then a fly landed on the grass and seemed to suck the blood. Then something unbelievable happened before Xiao Bing’s eyes. The fly became three times bigger, like a dragonfly. And its fluttering was louder than usual. Then, it dived toward Xiao Bing, like a bomber plane.
