Chapter 1526: Tracking
The rain had just stopped, and the moon was still hidden behind the dark clouds, making the wilderness almost pitch black.
With a snap, mud splashed, and several figures galloped across the wilderness.
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, running at the very front, barked loudly. When tracking the enemy, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't show its foolish nature at all. It identified every smell on the grassland. In Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's words: "The witch's smell is very special, like roasted coconut."
Su Xiao didn't know what roasted coconut tasted like, but he had already discovered the traces of that witch.
Stepping flat on the waist-deep wild grass, Su Xiao saw two claw prints in the mud, and there were two more not far away. According to the span and size between the claw prints, he judged that this was a creature with a body length between 3 and 5 meters, and a weight of at least 400 catties.
It was almost impossible to catch up with this witch named Isa in a short time. Su Xiao was dragged by Joan Isaiah for at least 20 minutes. How far a witch could escape in 20 minutes was still an unknown, and the opponent also had a mount.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was good at tracking smells and could communicate with relatively gentle creatures in the grassland. Su Xiao was good at tracking traces. Sometimes the smell was broken, he could track based on the traces left by Isa until Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could smell the smell in the air again. As for Amu, it was good at eating...
In the process of fleeing and chasing, time passed quickly. When the sky gradually brightened, Su Xiao had already walked out of the grassland. After tracking for another three hours, a towering city wall came into view.
The city gate under the city wall was wide open. There was a team of soldiers in front of the city gate, and large crossbows were built on the city wall. Shotguns were rare resources, and production obviously couldn't be used for city defense. Most of the soldiers in this world were based on cold weapons.
Civilians entered and exited the city gate from time to time. Although these civilians were dressed simply, their expressions were normal. Most of them went out to hunt, fish, etc.
Su Xiao didn't enter the city immediately, but searched around the edge of the city wall with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu. According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's scouting, Isa's smell ended here. No smell of her was found in the wilderness on the edge of the city wall. This witch was nine out of ten in the city.
If a witch deliberately hid her identity, ordinary soldiers would find it difficult to detect. The difference between them and ordinary women was not big, provided they didn't fight with enemies.
If a witch entered the city, the numerous smells in the city could clearly cover up her traces. If she thought from another perspective, Isa would likely hide in the city for a period of time, and then find an opportunity to leave here, thereby completely shaking off Su Xiao.
Su Xiao arrived near the city gate. There was a pattern resembling a wolf's head on the city wall, which should represent a certain kingdom.
According to Su Xiao's guess, Isaiah and Isa colluded to sell slaves, and the surrounding kingdoms were likely inseparable from them, or even their partners in the slave business.
Considering this, Isa might even go to the king of this city for refuge. No matter what relationship Isa had with the lord of this city, Su Xiao needed to enter the city first.
According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's close-range observation, it was not difficult to enter this city. A copper coin printed with a wolf's head needed to be paid.
Su Xiao took out gold coins and iron blocks. He poured a transparent liquid on both, exerted force in his hand, and kneaded the gold coins and iron into spherical shapes. He divided these low-purity gold into hundreds of pieces. Gold, diamonds, and grain were the hard currency of this world.
In the queue behind the people at the city gate, Su Xiao didn't deliberately disguise himself. He tracked all the way, inevitably looking dusty, very much like a traveler. Moreover, he used gold particles to enter the city, which was more in line with the identity of a traveler.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived in front of the city gate. After Su Xiao took out a small piece of low-purity gold, the captain of the guard team took it as usual, but when he saw Amu, he blocked the way of the group.
"Three people, the city entry fee is tripled."
The captain of the guard team pointed at Amu while speaking.
Su Xiao didn't want to waste time here, so he threw out another gold particle. The captain of the guard team took it with a smile. He didn't care whether Su Xiao's group was suspicious. This city even dared to let witches in.
Following more than a dozen civilians into the city, Su Xiao discovered the difference in this city as soon as he entered. The streets here were clean, and although garbage piles could occasionally be seen on the side of the street, they were within an acceptable range.
Soldiers patrolled the streets from time to time. This was what a human city should look like.
Su Xiao's purpose was to find the witch named Isa, not to appreciate this prosperous city.
"It seems... I guessed right before."
Standing on the street, Su Xiao looked around. His hand inadvertently swept over the hilt of the Checking Zhan Long Shan. The Checking Zhan Long Shan in its sheath was collected into his storage space by him. According to his observation, at least a dozen people were watching him in the dark. Being watched as soon as he entered the city confirmed that Isa had a relationship with the lord of this city.
"Stop hiding, try to capture alive."
A lazy voice came from the roof of a two-story building. This was a man wearing bear skin with a bearded face. He felt like a beast.
As soon as the man finished speaking, more than a dozen black-clothed figures appeared from the dark. They all wore metal head covers and surrounded Su Xiao.
The sound of rapid footsteps came one after another, armor collided, and at least hundreds of soldiers blocked the surrounding streets, and the surrounding civilians fled quickly.
"Do you want us to do it or do you surrender voluntarily? Lord Randolph and Ms. Isa want to see you. Such an honorable thing, no need to see blood."
The bearded man on the second floor smiled. He looked rough, and a shotgun as thick as a cup was inserted in his waist, or rather, it was more appropriate to call this thing a large-caliber flintlock.
Su Xiao scanned the surrounding soldiers and the bearded man. The bearded man was not weak, but if they fought, Su Xiao could behead him within a minute.
The bearded man's sentence saved himself, which was "Lord Randolph and Ms. Isa want to see you".
Su Xiao searched the world for Isa and couldn't find her. How could he miss such a good opportunity? If he didn't guess wrong, it was Amu who exposed the identity of the group.
Su Xiao raised his hands, and the dozen or so men and women in black around him swarmed up.
Crack, crack...
Chains were shackled on Su Xiao's hands and feet. These chains were black-blue. If it was brute force, even Su Xiao couldn't break free, but he could cut them open. Blade Master was not for display.
After Su Xiao was shackled by the black-blue chains, the surrounding soldiers began to retreat.
Amu's treatment was of course not good either. Because of its appearance, it was first tied up, and then carried by several men in black.
"Very sensible, let's have some insurance."
As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, a woman in black beside Su Xiao twitched a steel needle, not knowing what poison was quenched on it.
"Pity."
Su Xiao whispered.
"What?"
The bearded man in the distance looked at Su Xiao in doubt. In the next moment, the Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
Zing!
Blood splashed, severed limbs flew! ===== CHAPTER 1527 =====
