The sudden appearance of Wang Xiongzhou's group made things a little confusing.
"Fu Chunsheng, do you know that Commander Wang is an expert in martial arts?" Qin Lang asked Fu Chunsheng.
"I've never heard of it before. However, he must be skilled in martial arts to be able to move so quickly, "Fu Chunsheng replied.
Qin Lang had never heard Luo Haichuan mention that Wang Xiongzhou knew martial arts. It seemed like Wang Xiongzhou had hidden his skills well and rarely revealed them in front of others.
From Qin Lang's point of view, the more patient a person was, the more terrifying they were.
Wang Xiongzhou was undoubtedly such a person.
However, even if he knew that Wang Xiongzhou's group had entered the valley, Qin Lang would not retreat.
"Let's enter the valley as well," Qin Lang said to Fu Chunsheng ten minutes after Wang Xiongzhou's group entered the valley.
"Aren't we following too closely?" Fu Chunsheng reminded Qin Lang.
Wang Xiongzhou's group had brought along powerful weapons and equipment. Once the two sides became enemies, Wang Xiongzhou could not rule out the possibility of killing them. Therefore, from Fu Chunsheng's point of view, their current advantage lay in hiding. If they lost this advantage, the situation would become very bad.
"Don't worry, they won't discover us." Qin Lang's tone was very confident.
Fu Chunsheng did not know that Qin Lang had already released the blood mantis to keep an eye on Wang Xiongzhou's group. Ever since the blood mantis consumed the Green God Essence Nurturing Fluid, it seemed to have undergone an "evolution". It was smarter than before and could understand Qin Lang's commands more easily.
Wang Xiongzhou was a military officer and should be on the side of justice. However, Qin Lang felt that Wang Xiongzhou's motive was not that simple. Therefore, he decided to wait and see.
However, the moment they entered the valley, Wang Xiongzhou's group seemed to have stopped in their tracks. Even though Qin Lang couldn't see the movements of Wang Xiongzhou's group, he could determine their movements based on the flight path of the blood mantis above his head. At this moment, the blood mantis was reminding Qin Lang that Wang Xiongzhou's group had stopped temporarily.
"Why are they stopping here?" Qin Lang was a little puzzled. To be on the safe side, he nimbly jumped up a big tree and then used his binoculars to see what Wang Xiongzhou and the others were doing.
This was a snow-white little fox with a circle of fiery red fur on its four legs. From afar, it looked like a snow fox stepping on a fiery red cloud.
"Fire Fox!"
Qin Lang was shocked. He didn't expect that Wang Xiongzhou and the others would actually bring this thing.
Fire Spirit Snow Foxes were mutated snow foxes, just like how the Blood Mantis was a mutated insect. Snow Foxes were often regarded as snow elves by the people in the mountains. This was because snow foxes were very intelligent creatures, and this Fire Fox was a snow fox elf. It was rumored that a favored concubine in the Qing Dynasty was bestowed a "Snow Fire" fox fur coat by the emperor. It was priceless and unparalleled. "Snow Fire" was actually the fur of a Fire Fox.
However, even though the fur of a Fire Fox was priceless, it wasn't easy to catch a Fire Fox. On one hand, it was because the Fire Fox was very smart and hard to catch. On the other hand, it was because the teeth of a Fire Fox were poisonous, extremely poisonous! This was because the Fire Fox loved to hunt poisonous insects for food!
However, from Qin Lang's point of view, the true value of a Fire Fox wasn't its fur. Instead, it was its ability to find spiritual objects!
Not only was the Fire Fox the smartest of foxes, but its sense of smell was also extraordinarily sensitive. That was why it could easily find centipedes and scorpions that were hiding underground and eat them. Moreover, it was very sensitive to spiritual objects. Therefore, after training, a Fire Fox could be used for "treasure hunting."
However, this Fire Fox was obviously not completely tamed yet. There was a steel hoop around its neck, and there was a chain attached to the steel hoop. Traces of being strangled by the steel hoop could be seen on its neck.
"Coo coo!"
At this moment, the Fire Fox suddenly let out a low roar towards the sky. It seemed to have discovered something.
"Not good!"
Qin Lang immediately realized that the Fire Fox might have discovered the existence of the Blood Mantis. Therefore, it let out a roar. Qin Lang quickly slid down from the tree and used his inner strength to play the Insect Flute to call the Blood Mantis back.
The Insect Flute of Poisons was a very unique item. If it was played with True Qi, it could emit a very low but very penetrating sound wave. It was somewhat similar to ultrasonic waves. This way, the person who played the Insect Flute would not be easily discovered by the enemy and could also use the Insect Flute to command poisonous insects.
Whoosh!
The Blood Mantis turned into a red light and flew back at lightning speed.
Even though the Fire Fox had discovered the existence of the Blood Mantis, Qin Lang believed that Wang Xiongzhou and the others definitely did not notice its existence. This was because the Blood Mantis was too small. Moreover, even though Wang Xiongzhou and the others could use the Fire Fox to search for treasures, it was obvious that none of them had a telepathic connection with the Fire Fox. Otherwise, this Fire Fox would have been completely tamed a long time ago.
Because of the existence of the Fire Fox, Qin Lang could not use the Blood Mantis to monitor Wang Xiongzhou and the others for the time being. After all, Wang Xiongzhou and the others were not ordinary people. They might not have noticed anything unusual just now, but if the Fire Fox roared a few more times, they would probably notice something unusual as well.
However, knowing that Wang Xiongzhou and the others actually had a Fire Fox was considered a big gain for Qin Lang. This at least proved Fu Chunsheng's previous judgment — there was indeed something good in this valley.
However, what puzzled Qin Lang was how Wang Xiongzhou and the others obtained this information.
"Fu Chunsheng, did you tell anyone about the red fruit?" Qin Lang asked Fu Chunsheng.
"Absolutely not!" Fu Chunsheng hurriedly guaranteed, "This is my secret. I didn't tell anyone, including my family members. You also know that even in our family, the internal strife is quite intense. How could I possibly tell my secret to the others in my family? "
"Then how did Wang Xiongzhou and the others know that they are here to search for treasures?" Qin Lang asked.
"Mr Qin … You mean that Wang Xiongzhou and the others are also here to search for the red fruit?" Fu Chunsheng looked at Qin Lang in surprise.
