"That's it." Ye Zhi snapped his fingers happily and rummaged in his bag again.

Ye Zhi thought: Since the imprint of the horse's hooves on a rainy day cannot be covered up, let the imprints be kept forever, so that the captain of the guard will have the illusion that they did not find the footprints, and let them feel that the footprints are just a misleading.

Just say it, knowing that just putting the footprints in them is more like a trap than not doing any cover-up, Ye Zhi pulled out something from his bag.

A sufficiently long cloth, and a "weight" that is neither light nor heavy.

Wrap the "weight" in the cloth so that the drooping end of the cloth touches the ground, and take advantage of the speed of the horse when it is running, and the weight wrapped in the cloth strips begins to cause damage to the horse's hoof prints under the control of Haji.

A situation where the other party wanted to erase the traces, but failed, appeared behind Ye Zhi and Beta.

Following the imprint, the captain of the guard squinted at the marks on the ground. The footprints began to blur to this place, was it one of the two of the priest and beta who found the footprints?

But shouldn't this be, is it just a means of covering people's ears, discarding the horses tied to things, and then fleeing for their lives? Sure enough, it's a trick. The captain of the guard reached out and touched the dirt, not knowing what he had found, and was in a good mood.

"Captain, there are no traces of horses' hooves nearby, shall we continue to chase after it?" A member of the convoy returned to report the investigation to the captain of the convoy.

"No, no." The captain of the guard waved his hand and asked him to call everyone else back, "The people have already run away, and no one can be found along this line." ”

The escort team regrouped, and Ye Zhi and Beta, who were hiding not far away, breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they had given up on continuing the pursuit.

After tying up the strips of cloth, Ye Zhi and Beta looked at the nearby places where they could hide, one was a heroic jumper, the other was a flashing technique, and both skills allowed them to successfully appear in the current place. Appears in this place without leaving any footprints on the ground.

The captain of the guard was right about one thing, that is, Ye Zhi and Beta did use the method of escaping from the horses to leave the tracking of the footprints. It's not a safe idea to ride a horse on a rainy day to hunt someone down.

It's just that the captain of the guard didn't think of a little, even if he was chased by someone and chased the footprints. Ye Zhi didn't think about giving up the horse completely.

Hiding behind a rock and holding a poncho with Beta to protect him from the rain, Ye Zhi was quietly waiting for the horse to come back to him, and he had a vague premonition, just like he had escaped from the encirclement before. He and Beta want to leave this place, and maybe they will have to rely on the horse as well. "Escape" here before the horse grass is completely consumed.

It's just that before escaping, Ye Zhi still wanted to know what the purpose of the escort team was here.

Waited quietly for a while. The horses walked back to the place where the strips of cloth had scratched. The convoy had long since left, and now standing next to the horseshoe prints were poncho-clad Ye Zhi and Beta.

Since leaving the location of the escort team with Ye Zhi, Beta has been silent a lot, and along the way, he either occasionally responds to Ye Zhi twice, or quietly watches Ye Zhi arrange the route forward, and then cooperates with him.

Turn over and get on the horse. Beta's movements were much more neat than Ye Zhi's, and the mud spots that Ye Zhi brought up when he got on the horse splashed on the bag, and the mud-colored spots on the brown bag didn't seem to see anything strange.

Ye Zhi only took a brief look at the mud spot, and then went to check the map. If Ye Zhi didn't look at the map at that time and continued to look at the mud spots, he would have found that the bag with the mud spots had unconsciously appeared several black dots, the shape and size, exactly the same as the previous mud spots.

The map of Liuyun City didn't come in handy, let alone the map of Dingshui City, something bad finally happened. Ye Zhi suddenly found himself lost in this place where it had been raining.

Fortunately, he was not the only one who fled, as a member of the escort team. Beta also has the general route and target area of this area issued by the captain of the guard.

First, he went back according to the imprints he had made when he came, and after being trampled by the guards, the horse's hoof prints faded a lot. There were many more other marks, such as the footprints of the guards and the marks of weapons scratching the ground.

Is there anyone in the convoy who uses a long weapon? Ye Zhi and Beta frowned at the same time, they both discovered that this was wrong. The scratches were narrow, so it couldn't have been a person or something else, only a person with a weapon, and the lower end of the weapon left marks on the mud when walking.

After returning to the place where he was stationed. Beta rolled up the map, and at the same time, Ye Zhi also found that he was worried that he would get lost and not find his way, but he was thinking too much.

There are so many people in the escort team, it is impossible not to leave footprints, even if they march in formation, they will leave neat footprints on the dirt ground.

Next, Ye Zhi and Beta only need to follow the footprints of the escort team and adjust their positions according to the map from time to time, and they can move forward safely.

Beta's action of rolling up the map was not opposed by Ye Zhi, and it was indeed not suitable for horseback riding, especially when there were two people and a bunch of bags on the horse.

Follow in the footsteps of the convoy. Ye Zhi and Beta never saw anyone from the escort.

The rain kept falling, not too big, not too little, just like when it came in.

Walking in peace all the time, Ye Zhi began to feel uneasy, and the welcome around him was too quiet, so he had to wonder if there was any plot move at the end.

Not out of the player's intuition, when Ye Zhi and Beta caught up with the people of the escort team, they were startled by what they saw.

There were no dark clouds in the sky above the place where the guards were, and the sun shone directly on the ground, and beside the field, the rain was pouring down, but the rain did not cross the line in the slightest, as if there was a transparent wall to obstruct it.

The people of the convoy did not drag down the ponchos, and the transparent ponchos made them look less like convoys in the sun, but more like cultists who entered the forbidden land and ascended to the altar.

As if he had seen something incredible, Ye Zhi's pupils narrowed, and in his eyes, the people of the escort team seemed to step on an altar in the air, and took out the things they brought on the altar.

A few tubes, a couple of hollow tubes that don't look too heavy.

This tube is a good explanation of the scratches in the footprints, and also explains the problem that the steps will become heavier.

It's just that if the guards were to put the pipe on this invisible altar, why did some people lose their weight that night before, did they lose it?

Ye Zhi tilted his head and asked Beta on the side softly: "Do you know what that thing is?" ”

"I don't know." Beta stared closely at the movements of the Master on the Altar. Absentmindedly replied to Ye Zhi, "I haven't heard the captain mention it, probably it's confidential." ”

"Then why do you say that you may not be able to go back alive?" Ye Zhi obviously didn't believe Beta's answer, what Beta said in the tavern before left a deep impression on him. He couldn't forget it.

"Because this kind of mission has also appeared in the escort team before." Beta still stared at his former teammates, "Although there is no detailed record of that time, a lot of teammates disappeared inexplicably, so I went to various academies to replenish the manpower on that occasion, and I participated in that manpower replenishment." So I started to be curious about it. ”

Beta paused and continued, "So I've checked the previous information, and almost every time the personnel replenishment has appeared before this mission, so I know that the mission I'm involved in may be the same as the previous curious mission, and I feel that the chances of making it back alive are low." ”

Ye Zhi looked at Beta inexplicably.

Beta used his index finger to make a distance from his thumb and continued, "It's probably such a big chance of surviving, and the probability of going back is about ten percent." ”

"Ten percent?" Ye Zhi repeated this chance once, and followed Beta's gaze towards the people of the escort team, "So many people. Can you only go back to less than ten people? ”

"Yes." Beta lowered his head, no longer looking at his former teammates, or he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he was afraid that he would rush out on impulse, hurt himself, and hurt Alpha.

"It's horrible." Ye Zhi looked at the people of the escort team, and he didn't have much affection for them, and he had already begun to calculate who would be among the less than ten people in the escort team who could survive.

One by one, pipes appeared in the places where the guards wanted them to appear.

It seems that this affair is nearing its end.

Suddenly, the sunlight began to diverge outward, and the dark clouds were forced to squeeze outward with the rain.

The light shines on the moist ground. There was a sound of water vapor evaporating, and a large amount of mist suddenly evaporated, enveloping the otherwise dry area.

Ye Zhi subconsciously blocked his eyes, but there was the sound of weapons clashing in his ears.

Intuition dictates. Ye Zhi grabbed the beta who was walking out.

"You can't go out." Ye Zhi's strength can't be compared with Beta, but fortunately, Beta also calmed down in time.

The sound of the battle in the fog made Beta start to worry about the "companions" of the escort and involuntarily walked out. Ye Zhi was not disturbed, and pulled the beta in time to calm him down.

"What's going on?" Beta asked Ye Zhi if he was the only person he could talk to.

"Probably hypnosis." Ye Zhi looked at the mist. I secretly complained in my heart, probably because of the program setting, setting up that the aborigines would be disturbed and involuntarily walked in, so as to give the player a line to unlock the task.

"Hypnosis?" Beta looked at Ye Zhi's hand that he had been holding and didn't dare to let go, gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword, slashed it on his leg, and then asked Ye Zhi, "Is this okay?" ”

"Yes...... Right? Ye Zhi was frightened by Beta's movements, and the conditioned reflex was about to treat Beta, and when he heard Beta's last words, he realized that Beta wanted to use pain to overcome the impact of the fog of war.

After receiving Ye Zhi's semi-affirmative answer, Beta was relieved and continued to look tentatively into the mist.

The first shade of red appeared in the mist, and a man staggered down the altar, the sun snapped away, and the dark clouds pressed down on the "altar" again. This pressure is rebounded by the sun, and the death of the aborigines seems to involve the scope of the sun, death, contraction, rebound.

The fog becomes thicker because of the increase in the range of sunlight.

The second and third shades of red appeared at the same time, and the color of the mist became vivid, a white-gray mist with a hint of red. The pink colors exude a dangerous aura, and the sound of weapons fighting is ethereal because it is too far away.

The whole dry space is like a stage, the sunlight is the light, the fog is the dry ice, the battle is the soundtrack, and the three-step stage is swaying the red of life.

Red appeared in the fog one after another, and the sound of weapons fighting gradually quieted down, as if the rest of the people were still facing each other.

The sunlight has shrunk a lot now, and although it has expanded a little bit from the beginning, it is still a small area.

Finally someone couldn't stand the silence in the fog and stumbled out of the fog, he was the first to have the idea of fleeing the fight instead of continuing the fight.

After seeing someone coming out of the mist, Beta shook off the hand that Ye Zhi had grabbed on his wrist and went up to support the escapee.

The people in the fog did not chase after the mist, and Beta and Ye Zhi did not dare to enter the mist, so they hurriedly followed Beta.

Ye Zhi saw Beta's gaze at him, and raised the cross knowingly, and the healing skill shone on the person who escaped.

Walking nearby, Ye Zhi had a chance to see this person's face clearly, which was very familiar. During the morning practice, Ye Zhi saw him in Beta's team, and in Dingshui City, when he was drinking, Ye Zhi saw him in the tavern.

The one who escaped the fog was the one who came to the tavern that day to find Beta and ask him to assemble.

"Did I escape? Am I still alive? The man who escaped death opened his eyes and saw Beta, and immediately grabbed Beta's clothes and asked.

"Yes, you're out, you're still alive." Beta nodded.

"I feel like I'm a deserter." Receiving an accurate answer from Beta, the man looked down at his hand, the weapon was gone.

"But you survived." Beta replied succinctly.

Ye Zhi watched silently from the side, as if he knew why so few people survived each mission.

- Because it is necessary to escape to survive, and the people of the convoy do not allow them to become deserters themselves.

And then what about the rest. Standing closest to the mist, Ye Zhi tried to see the people inside through the small droplets of water on this layer. (Fog is small droplets of water floating in the air)

The sound of the battle was heard again, this time in a more vivid red. It was sprinkled directly on the fog, but fortunately, there was this layer of fog.

The blood was not sprinkled directly on the three of Ye Zhi.

As if they were full, the mist did not want to be a layer of water at all, but like a living thing, it squirmed and dispersed, and the sunlight once again made the situation on the invisible "altar" appear in front of the audience, Ye Zhi and the three people. (To be continued.) )

PS: When I woke up at half past ten, I was fine!!!!
