Chapter 187: The team is unreliable
Every time she entered the forest, Kahlil couldn't help but think of what she had talked about in geography class in the past, such as subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, which may have nothing to do with the place she was in, but they would always come to mind naturally. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
also appeared at school when I was a child, the middle-aged uncle geography teacher in junior high school, who spoke slowly and logically, and his voice was high and low, making it difficult for people not to fall asleep...... While the content sounds interesting, yes, the tone is hypnotic.
Before dark, the two of them finally reached the depths of the forest, where the horses could not move, and the peculiar darkness of the forest made Carlil feel creepy, and the thought of the countless insects moving around him in the hidden corners made Carlil feel that everything around him was afraid to touch.
"What's wrong?"
Kiyori found a place to let the horse out, only to come back and see Kahlil cowering in place, as if something terrible had happened.
"Ah, no, it's not ......"
Karil didn't look like she was fine, she turned back and forth a few times and a half in place, flipped her hand and felt a small test tube from the purple glow, pulled out the stopper, and hung the test tube under the cloak to let the potion volatilize naturally.
Although using potions at this time will increase the likelihood of being discovered...... However, after thinking about it, Kaliel still felt that compared to the enemy, it was still a little more terrifying for insects, and finally decided to take the risk and take out the insect repellent medicine and hang it, fortunately, the smell was not big, and it didn't feel much for humans, unless there were alchemists or pharmacists around who were sensitive to potions, otherwise there should be no big problem.
"Alright, let's go." Kahlil grabbed the hood with both hands and shook it vigorously on her head, the two fox ears were pushed up from under the hat at the same time, supporting two small sharp horns, and at the same time, the linen coat behind her was also propped up in a subtle arc, returning to the fox form, Kaliel inexplicably felt that she was much more accustomed to the forest.
"Direction...... Over there."
Kiyoshi pointed to the depths of the jungle, which was now almost completely night, and the moonlight was barely enough to make it impossible to see anything. But fortunately, these two guys are not ordinary now, and they need to rely on enough light to provide vision, and after Karil recovered the fox demon, he quickly adapted to the darkness of the forest, and Qing ...... Maybe he can act at will without light.
And at the moment when Kahlil turned back into a fox demon, Qing Xi suddenly felt that Kaliel's aura had become much lighter, as if he had merged with the surroundings.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go. ”
Kahlil tightened the straps tied in various positions on her body, made sure that they were not loosened, tilted her head to look at Qing Ci, and deftly turned in the direction that Qing Ci pointed just now, and jumped in.
It is as if it had grown up in the forest, as if it had mastered the instinct of an animal to move in the forest. The complex environment didn't hinder Karil at all.
Qing Xi jumped directly on the branch in two steps, and jumped up on the branch silently, quickly following Karil's footsteps. In contrast, the sound of Carlil stepping on something on the ground from time to time was much louder than that of Qing Qi. It's a bit harsh in the forest, but late at night, some nocturnal creatures will start to move, and the sounds of birds and insects will hide this little noise perfectly......
By the time the two of them had reached the first line of defense, the surroundings had become much more lively than before, and Kiyori jumped down the branch, grabbed Kahlil's shoulders, and pulled her forward.
"How?" Kahlil was pulled to a halt after taking half a step forward, turned back to Qing Ci and asked, a burst of agile trotting made her a little tired, and at this time she was panting weakly, and her little face was still a little red, but it was a pity that the light of Hunan made Qing Ci unable to appreciate Kaliel's appearance.
"There's a fire ahead." Qing Xi gestured to the front with his chin and said, "It should be a camp, judging from the number of fires, it is just an outpost." ”
"It's almost as far as the perimeter line...... Maybe we're already in the zone and don't see the scouts because they're lazy. ”
With a roll of her eyes, Kahlil took Kiyori and hid in the dense grass, slowly moving forward along the shadows.
The map of this place is not detailed enough, and Karil doesn't know exactly what lies ahead, but there is only one possibility of the Sunderland defense line that can appear in this place, so there is nothing to be curious about, just think about how to slip through the defense line unharmed.
However, it was a little unexpected that the fire in front of it was not the outpost's torch, and the low height of the fire was not an illusion caused by the terrain, but it was really low......
The two of them hid in the jungle in the distance, burying their figures deep in the shadows of the plants, casting through the gaps between the weeds and the tree trunks, and Kahlil and Kiyori could clearly see the scene ahead - a small circular clearing, a small group of patrolling soldiers sitting cross-legged, with a bonfire in the middle, a few torches inserted around the perimeter, burning violently, a barbecue grill was set up in the middle, and the meat of the animal wearing bamboo sticks was slowly turning on the barbecue.
"Looks like it's just a lazy squad?"
Kahlil whispered.
The heavy armor is not suitable for jungle operations, so the equipment they are equipped with is different from the team that Kahlil has encountered before, but the C-shaped crest on the chest clearly indicates their identity, but they are all very leisurely, not at all like they are fighting, but there is a taste of outing.
"Probably" Qing Xi also frowned, this group of people was so relaxed, it was so relaxed that people had to suspect that this was a trap to lure people in.
However, they could not have known that two people were preparing to cross the line alone, and it was impossible to have such preparations.
Thinking about it, what is possible is that they are really lazy.
"What shall we do, bypass?" Kahlil asked, lowering her voice.
"It's not good, they should have scouts hiding around, we don't know where they are now" Qing Ci also replied in a low voice: "You may be bumped into by the scouts when you go around from the side, but at this time their scouts should be far away from this area, and it is safer to put them down and go straight through this area." ”
"So sure?" Kahlil asked curiously, "They have scouts, they really should have, but how do you know if they are far away...... How far away can you be lazy with a small stove like this? ”
"No" Qing Xi shook his head and said: "It's not that you have to be far away to be lazy, but it is precisely because there are scouts to help them control the wind in the distance, and they can be notified to eliminate the traces as soon as the wind blows, so they can be so lazy." ”
That's kind of interesting......
"How do you know?" Kahlil glanced at Qing Xi in some surprise, his side was tightly covered by the hood, and he couldn't see anything.
"Matthew's experience" Qing Ci replied honestly: "In the first few days when you came home, we stayed in the opposite guest room, you won't forget it." ”
Just returned from the defense of the Ice and Snow Goddess Fortress, Matthew and Elaine naturally stayed in Andris Castle temporarily, and the room arranged at that time was next to the Red Lotus of the Qing Ceremony, basically nothing Matthew and Qing Ci would hang out with each other, anyway, Carlil was safe at home, and Qing Ci was happy to chat with Matthew when he was fine, and it happened that Matthew, who had been a mercenary in the Southern and Northern Wars for many years, had a belly of stories, all kinds of interesting and useless things to say, and it was considered to have taught Qing Ci a lot of experience and experience over a period of time.
"I didn't think you could think long-term." Kaliel said to Kiyori as she observed, and then quietly twisted her body to change the direction of her aching joints.
"No, it's just a coincidence......," Kiyoshi retracted the topic and continued, "Their barbecue should be finished, and we'll do it as soon as they pick it up, and everyone's attention will be on the barbecue." ”
"Okay," Karil nodded slightly.
"Hmm...... Do you want to kill them, or do you want to keep them alive? Qing Ci asked, this is no essential difference for him, he can't be too heavy if he wants to keep his mouth alive, and on the other hand, he doesn't like to kill.
Kahlil touched her chin and replied, "Stay alive, it's good to be stunned, it's easy to startle the snake if you kill it." ”
Although several people are mixed at the same time, it should be alarmed...... But at least it's better than getting killed in the jungle together.
"Well, I'll say when they raise their hands, you should be able to deal with the two nearby, right?" Qing Xi pointed to the two soldiers who were close to the two hiding places and had their backs to him: "Because you can't let them sound the alarm, try to solve them all in an instant, and leave the remaining four to me." ”
"Okay, no problem" Kaliel touched the Hidden Blade under her right wrist with her left hand, and gently adjusted the mechanism to adjust it to the right position.
"That's good...... They moved. ”
Qing Xi carefully observed, and several people on the opposite side leaned up to smell the aroma of the barbecue carefully, with a monkey anxious look, saliva was about to drip to the ground, and from time to time he used a dagger tip to open the skin of the barbecue to see if the meat was cooked.
"Just pick it up and ...... at the same time"
Kiyoshi said slowly, and his right hand slowly reached into the cuff of his left hand.
"Three...... 2. ......"
One of them reached for the handle of the barbecue, gripped it tightly, and picked it up.
"One...... Do it! ”
The moment everyone stood up from the ground, a strangely shaped dagger flew through the crowd and arced from the left, drawing everyone's attention at once, and as it turned its head to the right, it wanted to see what it was.
Then four of them were hit in the neck before they could fully turn their heads, and their eyes went black. The other two didn't even have a chance to turn their heads, and at the same time that their companions' attention followed the dagger turn, they were directly knocked to the ground by the poisonous needles shot by the fangs.
In the blink of an eye, the six fainted guards lay crookedly on the ground, and the barbecue grill was caught by Qing Xi in the air, avoiding the sound of falling to the ground.
"Alright, well done...... Kiyomi said, turning back to the bushes.
Kaliel's two big ears poked out of the grass, and then jumped out of the grass with the whole person, patting all kinds of dead branches and leaves on his body vigorously, and then walked a few steps forward towards Qing Ci.
"Their barbecue skills are really not good." As she spoke, Kahlil poured the remaining insect repellent medicine into the bonfire, and the flames immediately emitted a burst of white smoke and was doused a lot: "Let's keep the barbecue on it, the insect repellent contains a lot of spices, and the barbecue will become more fragrant after smoking, but if they really can't help but eat it, I guarantee they will have diarrhea and don't even have the strength to walk." ”
"It's a great gift." Qing Xi looked around for a moment, and continued: "Let's go, it's easy to be noticed under the campfire, let's get out of here." ”
Kahlil nodded, and disappeared into the shadows with Kiyori.
So far, so good! (To be continued.) )
