They looked at Gu Ran, who was still running forward, with a puzzled expression.
This area of muddy ground is very difficult to walk on. Near the water, you'll sink into the mud as soon as you step in; the mud is almost up to your calves.
Therefore, their speed is getting slower and slower.
Soon.
All three were stuck in the mud and unable to move.
Gu Ran, however, walked as if on flat ground!
"How could that be? We were clearly following his footprints!"
Yes, they also have experience, having followed the path Gu Ran took.
But Gu Ran was completely unaffected by the muddy ground; his feet didn't sink in at all.
Chapter 30: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Seeing that the three people were stuck in the mud and not moving, Gu Ran suddenly turned around and came back.
He was holding an N96 camera and, taking advantage of the three people's inattention, opened the camera and took several photos of them.
"Click, click!"
The flash went off a few times before the three of them realized that Gu Ran was taking pictures.
"Oh no, we've been spotted!" The three were shocked and immediately tried to grab Gu Ran.
One of them leaped up, trying to tackle Gu Ran.
Unfortunately, the mud was too deep, and he couldn't jump up at all.
"Bye-Bye!"
After taking the photo, Gu Ran turned around and continued running in the water.
The three of them then turned on their spotlights and shone them at Gu Ran's feet.
As Gu Ran ran, his feet only touched the surface of the water and did not sink into the mud at all!
The shoes he was wearing looked like they were floating on water.
"Is this the Chinese martial art of light-footed movement on water?"
The three men stared at each other, completely baffled as to how he had done it.
Gu Ran ran on the surface of the muddy water for a while.
They quickly ran to the other side of the river.
The training in walking on water has finally paid off.
Controlling chakra to walk on water is more difficult than walking on a wall.
In order to practice this skill at home, Gu Ran took two basins and filled them with water.
Then he stepped on a basin with one foot.
He wants to train himself to stand up on the water.
There are two main points.
First, you need to gather enough chakra in the soles of your feet so that the amount of chakra can lift your body up.
Next, you need to control the chakra in the soles of your feet and prevent it from dissipating.
At the same time, it is also necessary to occasionally output some chakra to replenish and maintain its quantity.
Walking on water is a very practical skill, so Gu Ran practiced it at home for a long time.
After he was able to stand up on the surface of a basin of water at home.
He then went to practice by the river at night.
Because the water in a basin is still, while the water in a river is flowing and has waves, the situation is much more complicated.
Walking on the river is even more difficult to practice.
Finally, through extensive training, he managed to gain a basic grasp of the skill.
Now, as long as the waves are small, he can easily run on the water.
This swampy area was perfect, with little wind or waves, so Gu Ran ran without any pressure.
On the other side of the river was a bamboo forest.
At this moment, Gu Ran stood on the hard ground on the opposite bank of the river and waved to the three people.
"Hey, come quick, I'm leaving if you don't come soon!" Gu Ran said as he walked into the bamboo forest.
The three kidnappers could only watch helplessly as Gu Ran walked into the bamboo forest.
"Damn it!"
Among the three, the leader cursed under his breath, then took out his phone and made a call.
“The situation changed, and he fled to the opposite bank of the river downstream, heading north into the depths of the bamboo forest.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then he asked, "Are you sure it was him you saw?"
"Nonsense, the three of us have all seen his face clearly. He is the target you are trying to kidnap, there is no mistake!"
"I see."
The other side hung up the phone.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
One of the three men asked.
The leader struggled to pull his legs out of the mud, and as he walked towards the shore, he said:
"Let's retreat first, and then figure out a way to track him down on the other side. That's all we can do for now."
……
Tian Ding Mountain Resort Hotel, 19th floor, Executive Suite.
In the dead of night, a man dressed in a black training uniform and wearing a mask arrived at the suite where Su Xiaoqiang and Gu Ran were staying.
Logically speaking, Gu Ran, the target living here, should have already left.
Right now, Su Xiaoqiang should be the only one in here.
But the masked man had a gut feeling that Gu Ran hadn't left and was still in the house.
To verify his hypothesis, he swiped his room card and was about to open the door when he discovered that there was a security chain locked from the inside.
The masked man frowned slightly, which confirmed his suspicions.
Gu Ran went out; he couldn't possibly lock the security chain from the inside.
Su Xiaoqiang doesn't seem like the type of person who would get up in the middle of the night to add a security chain.
So there's only one truth: besides Su Xiaoqiang, there's someone else involved.
It's very likely that it's Gu Ran.
The masked man was prepared for this.
He took out a specially made long-nose, pointed pliers, inserted them, and with a little force, cut the security chain.
Since ancient times, doors can guard against virtuous people, but they are hard to guard against scoundrels.
The masked man walked silently into the room.
As soon as they entered, they spotted Gu Ran.
He was actually sitting on the sofa at that moment.
"I didn't expect you to be so suspicious." Gu Ran, who was sitting on the sofa, had been resting with his eyes closed.
Hearing the door open, he slowly opened his eyes.
He sized up the man in the black training uniform.
The man was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, taking great care to protect his facial information.
However, his figure was clearly exactly the same as the one Gu Ran had seen in the surveillance footage.
"Would you like to come in and have a seat?" Gu Ran invited.
Seeing Gu Ran's posture of waiting for his prey to fall into a trap, the masked man stood by the door, hesitant and fearful, not daring to come in.
He cautiously looked around, seemingly finding nothing unusual.
But he always felt that Gu Ran was too calm.
There might be an ambush in the room.
So I decided to give up.
He took a step back, about to exit through the doorway.
Suddenly, he said, "The Empty City Stratagem?"
Gu Ran stood up from the sofa, put her hands behind her back, and just stared at him.
The masked man re-entered the room and said softly:
“Your people should still be on their way. I’ve estimated that they won’t arrive until at least 2 a.m..”
Yes, Raymond was stuck on the road for the entire afternoon.
With great difficulty, he bought a three-wheeled motorcycle from a fellow villager nearby.
Before we had driven five kilometers, a group of people suddenly appeared and scattered nails on the road.
The three-wheeled motorcycle's tire blew out.
Raymond is once again finding himself in a difficult situation.
Clearly, a mysterious force has been watching their every move.
This force is probably no weaker than the Secret Party.
