Chapter 49 Traces
In the jungle, Li Fei moved silently.

With the help of the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls, he broke through the maze left by the Anshen Sect and quietly caught up with the enemy's large force. He had been tracking them in the jungle for more than four hours.

Two hours ago, the enemy's main force set up another maze at a fork in the high ground. This was done to prevent the first maze from failing to trap anyone. If there were really someone tracking them, they would have to follow this high ground and come to this fork, otherwise there would be no way of knowing which way the Anshen Cult would go next.

In this way, the second maze will definitely work.

Li Fei was not worried about the other party's caution. Instead, he was somewhat happy about it, because the other party's behavior just proved that the maze was the best means of anti-tracking for the other party. Otherwise, there would be no need to waste precious materials for setting up the formation.

He was able to break the opponent's maze silently, so the probability of being discovered by the opponent next time was very low.

In fact, he had no experience in tracking. If the other side had only a dozen people, he would have lost them long ago. But fortunately, the other side had hundreds of people, and they left enough traces, so he would not lose them even if he was far behind.

Li Fei followed from a distance, leaving marks on the trees along the way.

By this time the sky had completely darkened and large drops of rain began to fall.

Luoshan is a rainy place to begin with. After this heavy rain, all traces of the Anshen Sect left in the mountains and forests will disappear completely, and it will be almost impossible for later people to track them down.

“It’s raining.”

In front, Zhao Yu looked up at the heavy rain falling from the sky and smiled with satisfaction.

Many of his followers were hunters from Luoshan who were able to predict the weather. Before this operation, they told him with certainty that there would be heavy rain in the next two days.

"Everyone, rest where you are. Pay attention to the waterproofing of firearms and ammunition. Arrange people to guard the perimeter."

Zhao Yu put on the hat and raincoat he had prepared in advance, and ordered the team to rest on the spot.

The jungle was pitch black at night, and it was raining heavily, so we couldn't light torches. It was very dangerous to walk on the mountain road in the dark, and it would easily cause non-combat casualties, so the team had to stop.

Fortunately, this heavy rain is more beneficial to Anshen Religion.

After the order was issued, the members of the Anshen Sect took out the hats and raincoats they had prepared in advance and found a place to sit down and rest.

Li Fei, who was following far behind, was soon drenched by the heavy rain.

However, he had practiced martial arts for many years, and his Tiangang Tyrant Body had already achieved some success, so he would not be unable to withstand a rain.

"There is no torch, so it must have stopped."

Li Fei found a big tree to shelter from the rain and stopped, not planning to get any closer.

He would rather lose the chase, in which case the trip would be in vain, than get too close and be discovered.

Then he took out the medicine bottle he carried with him, swallowed two embryo-nourishing pills, and began to practice the Tiangang Yiqi Posture in the heavy rain to carry out today's embryo-nourishing training.

Boom!

A flash of lightning flashed, illuminating the dark jungle for a moment.

In the heavy rain, the young man stood calmly with a determined look in his eyes, as if he was silently greeting the world.

"How about it, can you find it?"

The gray-haired Huang Weiguang asked a young man in a dark blue robe with anxious eyes.

The other person held a piece of talisman paper that had just burned out in his hand, with wisps of green smoke still lingering on his fingertips.

He is a mage from the Orthodox Court, sent to help track down the whereabouts of the Anshen Cult.

"No, too much time has passed, the distance is too far, and the other party has a ritual that interferes with the tracking method, so I can't find it."

The wizard from the Orthodox Court shook his head and spoke in a cold voice.

There are indeed techniques that can track others, but these techniques are not omnipotent, otherwise the Orthodox Court would have found the Anshen Cult's lair long ago and would not have to wait for someone to report it.

Factors such as the distance and time between each other will have a great impact on this type of tracking technique, not to mention that the Anshen Sect also has its own mages to interfere.

Huang Weiguang looked up at the heavy rain falling from the sky and sighed.

The Supervisory Office, the Office for Stopping Conflict and the Court of Justice reacted quickly enough and sent people into the mountains overnight.

Unfortunately, the magicians of the Orthodox Court were still unable to track down the Anshen Cult, and with the heavy rain, it became extremely difficult to track them in the vast mountains.

"Go to the mountain village below and stay temporarily." Huang Weiguang gave the order helplessly.

It was raining heavily and it was night, so the team could not go into the mountains to search and could only stop and wait for the rain to stop.

It rained heavily all night.

The rain gradually stopped at dawn the next day. Huang Weiguang, who had not slept all night, immediately ordered everyone to get moving and go into the mountains to look for traces.

But in fact, most people knew that after the heavy rain last night, it was almost impossible to find any trace.

However, Chief Inspector Huang Weiguang was personally watching the scene, and no inspector dared to slack off, as they all focused their efforts on the search.

Among the inspectors present, Li Lei was also feeling as anxious as Huang Weiguang.

After receiving the order, he immediately led his team up the hillside and began a carpet search, hoping to find useful traces.

More than an hour later, Li Lei, who was in charge of searching on the southern hillside, suddenly received news that some traces seemed to have been found in the jungle to the west.

He ran over there immediately.

The maze that the Anshen Cult had left here before has become ineffective. After being washed away by the heavy rain, not a trace of it remains.

"How is it? What did you find?!"

Li Lei pushed through the crowd and ran over, anxiously and expectantly.

In addition to Huang Weiguang, there is also the stern-looking Hao Yi.

Hao Yi also rushed here overnight. After he arrived, he went straight to Huang Weiguang. Now the two were standing together, and it seemed that they had known each other before.

Li Lei didn't bother to greet Hao Yi and asked Huang Weiguang directly:
"Inspector General, what did you find?"

Huang Weiguang pulled him over and pointed at the trunk of a big tree:

"Come and see this."

Li Lei leaned over to take a look and was stunned.

There is a triangle symbol carved on the trunk of this big tree, with the sharpest corner pointing horizontally to one side. This is a marking symbol commonly used by the Inspection Office.

"Was it left by the brothers in the courtyard?"

Li Lei asked subconsciously.

But he quickly rejected the idea because all the people who had participated in the operation yesterday had returned, except for the few who died.

Among the top students of the Military Academy, except for those who died, only Li Fei did not return.

"Is it Xiaofei?!"

Li Lei opened his eyes wide and thought of this only possibility.

"Have you ever taught your son this before?"

Huang Weiguang stared at Li Lei with sharp eyes.

Li Lei recalled that he often told Li Fei and Li Tianyu about his experience in investigating cases, in which he mentioned the marking symbols used by the Inspection Office.

"I told him so!"

Li Lei said with some excitement.

"That should be what he left behind!"

Huang Weiguang's face finally showed some spirit.

He turned around and gave the order in a swift and decisive manner:

"Everyone follow the symbol to find it. Our inspectors are still tracking them. The Anshen Cult can't get away!"
