It was obvious that the little guy was wearing a pair of adult shoes, or he was wearing a pair of big shoes over his small shoes. No wonder he dared to run out of the city! So that's why. Ling Tian's heart, which was already a little disappointed, suddenly became lively again.
Ling Tian secretly asked himself, If I were him, which direction would I go?
The front was the official road, and the people chasing after him were obviously not small. Then, the official road was definitely not a path to take. In this kind of weather, taking the official road was undoubtedly walking into a trap.
On the right was the direction where the few men in black were chasing. Smoke rose in spirals, and trees stood in great numbers. It seemed like a good place for a fugitive to hide. But the reality was very different. The reason was obvious: Almost everyone would think that it was a good place to hide. Everyone would think of it. Since that was the case, that was the easiest place to be exposed.
On the left, there was also a small road. There were fewer footprints, and it was a flat land. There was no place to hide before reaching a small village far away. There were actually no trees or shrubs on either side of the road. Obviously, for someone who was in a hurry to escape, this was even less of a choice.
But with Ling Tian's countless escaping experiences, this road was relatively the safest one! Ling Tian smiled in his heart. If you choose this road, then I will help you. But if you don't choose this road, then even if you die in front of me, I will not help you! Because that means you are not worthy of my help!
Ling Tian's snow-white little figure was like a streak of light on the snowy ground, flying to the left like a bolt of lightning.
In the shabby little village, there were only a few dozen families scattered around. Occasionally, people would walk through the narrow streets. All of them had a sickly look on their faces. The whole village seemed cold and cheerless, and lifeless. Occasionally, the wild barking of a few watchdogs could be heard.
Ling Tian walked alone on the streets. His eyes were like lightning, searching for any place where he could hide. If that little guy escaped here, then he could completely meet Ling Tian's expectations of him.
The villagers looked at the young master who was wearing a snow-white marten coat. Their eyes were filled with fear and doubt. Why would such a young master from a wealthy family appear here?
Ling Tian's movements seemed slow but were actually fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already circled around the small village and screened the places that could hide people. In Ling Tian's eyes, three of them were the best places to hide.
A test that one side was unaware of had already begun! And it had already reached the final stage!
First of all, the little boy had to have escaped to this place. That was the minimum requirement. Secondly, from the choice of hiding place, Ling Tian could also see how perseverance and tenacity this person had. Running all the way from the city to here required a huge amount of physical strength. Those who were able to run all the way here must have put in a lot of effort and thought carefully. However, this alone was not enough!
According to Ling Tian's plan, after escaping to this place, they must immediately hide! Moreover, after exhausting so much physical strength, they would need to replenish their nutrients immediately. However, if there were any signs of begging or stealing at this moment, they would expose themselves. Therefore, they needed to be more patient!
As for the three best hiding spots that Ling Tian had chosen, there was actually a difference in quality between them. The hiding place at the back of the village was the worst. Although it was the most hidden, it was also the most dangerous. Once it was blocked, there was no hope of escaping again.
The hiding place at the left side of the village could be used to attack or retreat. However, one would still need to pass through half of the village to reach it.
And the place that Ling Tian was most satisfied with was the entrance of the village. It had already collapsed to the point that it was almost impossible to hide in it! If that little guy was hiding here, then the little boy's intelligence had already reached a terrifying level! Choosing this place required courage. Because if the enemy came searching, the first thing they would see was this place. Secondly, they had to be careful. They had to find the best hiding place at first glance and enter it immediately. Thirdly, they had to have done some research on the human mind before they could make the choice to hide here!
It was precisely because this place was too obvious and there was no place to hide that the pursuers would directly overlook this place when they arrived! They would directly rush into the village to search. And when all the places were searched, this dilapidated place would not attract the attention of those who were interested. Even better, this place did not pass through the village. Of course, there would not be any traces left behind.
If that little boy had indeed escaped to this place but was not hiding in one of these three places, then Ling Tian would immediately give up on him! Only in one of these three places could he barely pass in Ling Tian's heart. In Ling Tian's heart, he needed elite soldiers, experts, and potential! For those without potential, Ling Tian would not even spare them a glance!
Ling Tian decided to start from the place at the back of the village. After going in to investigate carefully, Ling Tian turned around and walked out! There was no one.
Ling Tian had a feeling in his heart. That little boy must have escaped to this place! It was just that he did not know where he was hiding now.
With a little joy, Ling Tian came to the west of the village. It seemed to be an abandoned barn. Most of the walls had collapsed and there was no ventilation in all eight directions.
Carefully investigating the surroundings, he did not find any footprints in the snow. Ling Tian pondered for a while and still walked in.
There were a few piles of withered grass, which were piled up haphazardly. It made this dilapidated space look very crowded. Ling Tian roughly sized up and stood in the middle of the ruins. Using his inner breath, he carefully felt every trace of movement in the surroundings.
After a long time, Ling Tian's lips curled up into a proud smile.
Yes, in this ruins, there was a faint breathing sound. Obviously, it was the little boy who was being chased.
Ling Tian was very satisfied! Although he did not choose the place with the highest score in Ling Tian's heart, but from the fact that he hid here and was able to carefully remove the traces on the snow outside, this little boy's thoughts were already sufficiently meticulous and careful.
If it was not for Ling Tian who had reached the Xiantian level of inner strength, using his inner energy to investigate, he believed that ordinary people would definitely not be able to discover his traces.
And from all the people that Ling Tian came into contact with, it seemed that there was not a single person who clearly knew what "inner strength" was …
Ling Tian smiled satisfactorily and slowly walked forward, stopping in front of a small pile of straw. Softly saying, "Come out, don't hide, you are in here."
