Recalling the previous few ambushes, the true strength of this murderer lay in the fact that he always caught them off guard. It seemed that the real head-on confrontation hadn't happened yet?
Him sticking his head out like a bird really raised his morale. It was much more responsible than shouting 'Go for me'! The remaining five people in his group also jumped out. Everyone jumped on the sandbags and could see each other clearly. They looked at each other from head to tail, looking at each other with an awe-inspiring aura!
Big Brother Wu was the exact opposite of them. He liked to deal with things calmly and didn't like to take risks.
"Let's stay together. Either we search together or chase together … Just don't separate!"
His confidant laughed softly, "Or we run together …"
This was a relatively smooth operation. Regardless of whether it was the aggressiveness of the sackcloth's group or the calmness of Big Brother Wu's group, but …
Dozens of breaths passed. There were only a few hundred sandbags in front of everyone's eyes, but not a single hair could be seen!
Could it be that this madman really ran away this time? But the desert was unobstructed. With so many pairs of eyes watching, it was impossible for this person to run away from the sandbags!
The sackcloth guest stood on a tall sandbag in the middle of the sandbags. His clothes and sleeves fluttered as he looked back at Big Brother Wu.
Big Brother Wu also took it seriously this time. "I've observed this person's actions. Every time he takes a risk, he doesn't follow the conventional rules. If he does it once, he definitely won't do it a second time!
Therefore, the possibility of him still being in the sandbags is very high. It's just that … "
The sackcloth guest smiled sinisterly. "Hiding in the sand!"
This was the most suitable method for the murderer! He also had enough time! Now that the ground was mainly covered in sand, it was very easy to hide himself. If it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would only need to use their divine sense to scan the area. But they were Qi Eaters, so they could only see with their naked eyes. How could they see through the sand, even if it was just a thin layer!
The sackcloth guest took out a carved bow from his storage ring. This time, he didn't even care about revealing his trump card. This was a rare semi-magic tool spirit bow. It was a treasure that he had relied on to run rampant for dozens of years. The reason why he didn't use it before was because his accuracy wasn't good enough while running. Shooting an arrow while moving, he had to hit a fast-moving target dozens of feet ahead. This wasn't something that could be practiced. He could only rely on luck. If his arrow didn't hit the target, the opponent would be on guard!
This was the disadvantage of not being guided by divine sense!
Drawing his bow and setting an arrow, the entire group of sandbags was within his shooting range. At this moment, he was in a horse stance. His strength came from his feet, and his spiritual power surged. Looking down from a high vantage point, he was in the best position to shoot!
His companion also did his best. He jumped down from the sandbag and stepped through the surrounding area to make sure that no murderers would jump out and hurt anyone nearby.
After finishing their preparations, Big Brother Wu's group also chose a favorable position and prepared to pounce at any moment. Seeing that everyone was confident, the sack-clothed man shouted.
"East!"
This was to divide the sandbags into four areas — north, south, east, and west. It was beneficial for concentrating their forces on clearing the sandbags. As for the other three areas, Big Brother Wu only needed to assign two people to watch over them!
Strict and meticulous! He was indeed an outstanding individual cultivator who could form the Red Line Alliance!
There were no more than a hundred sandbags in the entire sandbag cluster, and there were no more than thirty sandbags in each of the four directions. They were the size of tombstones, and in such a small area, nothing could be hidden from the five cultivators!
They didn't even need to use their weapons to pierce the ground inch by inch. They only needed to stomp on the ground and send out their spiritual energy to clearly see what was hidden in the ground within a radius of several zhang.
Because of the death of their companion, the cultivators were very focused. At least two people would step on the same area in order to not leave any room for error.
If a cultivator buried himself in the sand and was attacked by spiritual energy, he would be injured if he didn't circulate his qi to resist it. If he did, he would expose himself. There was no third possibility!
After fifteen minutes, the east area had been carefully plowed through, and nothing unusual was found!
The sack-clothed man pointed his bow to the south. "South!"
The five of them repeated their search, but the result was the same!
The sack-clothed man's heart was like stone, and his expression didn't change. The more critical the moment was, the more he couldn't show any hesitation as the leader!
"West!"
"North!"
The north area was the area that the cultivators were most worried about. That was because the murderers could be hiding there, so they had to be extra careful!
Big Brother Wu's group was also slowly approaching, but his trusted subordinate had a different opinion.
"Big Brother! With that murderers cunning character, it's impossible for him to not see or hear what we're doing! Since his hiding place has already been seen through, why didn't he take the opportunity to escape while searching in other directions? Why did he wait for us to find him? This doesn't fit his style of doing things! "
Big Brother Wu also felt the same, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
"You just have to remember one thing. As long as the six of us stick together, that murderers won't target us. He will only target those who are alone!"
Everyone nodded their heads. For these people to be able to hang out with Big Brother Wu, they admired his steadiness. He knew when to advance and retreat, and wouldn't risk everyone's lives.
Very quickly, the north area was also searched. Just as some people had guessed, they didn't find anything!
This time, even the sack-clothed man furrowed his brows!
What made it very difficult for him was that he wasn't sure if this person really intended to compete with them here. For cultivators like them, their escape technique was between relying on the natural laws of Foundation Establishment to completely float, and a mortal's brilliant Qing Gong to leave behind traces!
In other words, their escape technique wouldn't leave behind footprints, but it could leave behind traces. For example, fine scratches. Because of the surging Qi waves, the sand was slightly shorter than normal sand. However, because they were too confident, the few of them went in and stepped everywhere, destroying the scene. It was impossible to determine the murderers' whereabouts based on the traces left behind.
However, he was also very sure that this person couldn't have left just like that! That was because cultivators' eyesight could clearly see a large bird ten li away in the boundless desert. How could they not see such a big living person after leaving the sandbags? If one person was blind, would a dozen people also be blind?
A cultivator put forward his suggestion, "Big Brother Ma, it's also possible that this person has a special magic item, like your bow? Or maybe he hid it very deeply! When we stomp our feet, we can only affect a depth of three chi, any deeper than that would be beyond our power … "
The sack-clothed man pondered, "That makes sense! There's such a possibility! We can't give up our initial judgment just because we haven't found him yet! But before that, we have to look at the other side of the sandbags, which is the other side of the direction we entered, to see if there are any traces of a human leaving. After all, if everyone missed it, it could only be in that direction! "
He was still a little worried. What if this person really left? Wouldn't they become the biggest joke in the cultivation circle in recent years if a group of people were to dig here and there while licking their butts?
The five cultivators also felt that it made sense. To be honest, in order to chase after this person, they were really tired out for more than a day. Not only were they tired physically, but they were also mentally tired!
Then, it would be good to go to the edge of the sandbags to check if there were any traces of movement. At least, they could be sure that this person had gone far away? Or was he hiding among the sandbags!
