The Liang army retreated to the edge of the pine forest for the time being.

The generals hope to consult together and find a solution to the mysterious force.

They deliberated for a long time, but nothing came of it.

The soldier who had been released had returned, bringing strange news.

"General." "A large number of canine footprints and burrows have been found around, and we suspect that there is one or several foxes living in this vicinity," the soldier announced. ”

"Fox?" The commander of the Liang army frowned, and his subordinates reported that there were a large number of foxes in this place, but he and the others didn't see any of them.

"General, what are we going to do?"

Everyone waited for the general to make a decision, whether to attack or retreat.

"Although there are many of us, there is nothing we can do with that mysterious man." The leader of the Liang army said to Shuxia, "I plan to stay still here, monitor the movements of the other party, and prevent them from escaping. Then send someone to ask for reinforcements, bring siege equipment such as catapults and assemble them here, and then you can throw stones or logs and smash the ice directly. ”

"Good idea."

Most of the lieutenants immediately agreed with the idea of the commander.

"When the siege equipment comes, the ice that protects the strange tree will be vulnerable."

"That's right, we don't need to get close at all, we just need to throw it from a distance, and there will be no casualties at all."

"I hope that the reinforcements will come sooner, and we will fill the waterhole with siege engines to avenge the dead brethren."

The thought that reinforcements would come, all the generals were shocked, and they sent a team of thirty people to go back together to find reinforcements.

Thirty soldiers look out for each other, and can be easily dispersed when encountering wild beasts.

After receiving the information, the reporting team immediately set off.

The soldiers wanted to rush back as fast as they could.

And the Liang army, who stayed in place to rectify in place, was full of confidence.

After the team looking for reinforcements left, Zhong Ling gave Ye Youhuan a look.

She couldn't sit idly by.

Even if she exposed herself and continued to flee deeper into the mountains and forests, he couldn't let Liang Jun come here with siege equipment to destroy the shape-shifting fruit trees.

Ye Youhuan also realized the seriousness of the problem.

He and Zhong Ling have different goals, but they both want to protect the shape-shifting fruit tree.

This time, Ye Youhuan couldn't stand by anymore.

Just as Ye Youhuan was about to take the initiative to be exposed, the sound of battle suddenly came from afar.

"Ahh

"Kill—"

Listening to the sound, it should be that the soldiers who went to report the news were ambushed, and the enemy's strength should not be weak, the screams were all made by the Liang army, and no enemy voice was heard.

Liang Jun immediately stopped resting and followed the direction of the sound to find the past.

Before those reinforcements could get out of the moonlight pine forest, they were ambushed.

By the time the large army arrived to support, more than 30 people had all fallen in a pool of blood.

A total of thirty people sent the letter, and there was not a single person left alive.

Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling jumped off the tree and quietly observed from a distance.

Seeing that the people who reported the news were all dead, Ye Youhuan gloated in her heart.

But soon he couldn't be happy again, because the thirty people died too strangely.

From the sound of the battle to the arrival of the Liang army at the scene, it was only six or seven minutes in total.

In such a short period of time, all thirty people were killed, and there was no trace of the murderer in the vicinity.

Who did it, and how did they do it?

Liang Jun was near the corpse, and they had someone to examine the corpse.

The result was that the soldiers were all bitten to death by some kind of beast.

The ground was littered with canine footprints, which were identified by observation as those of foxes.

"These foxes are weird." Said the man who had identified the footprints.

"How?" The general asked.

"They are very large, they seem to be a few points stronger than wolves, and their strength is greater than that of wolves, and their speed should be faster than wolves, they are fierce and cooperative, I have never heard of such foxes in this world." The soldier who made the footprints said with some uncertainty, "Could it be some kind of species we've never seen before?" ”

"I haven't seen any of them." The leader of the Liang army couldn't figure it out, his subordinates were all well-trained regular troops, in the face of a group of beasts, how could they be wiped out so easily by the other party, without killing a single beast?

"How did the other side manage zero casualties...... the leaders of the two armies frowned, puzzled.

"General, it doesn't seem that there are zero casualties." Liang Jun found animal hair on the weapons of his dead comrades, and some strange blood stains, it seems that the beast that attacked Liang Jun was injured, judging from the blood stains dragged on the ground, there should be a beast seriously injured or dead, but it was dragged away by his companions.

There were two traces of blood, one pointing to two large trees.

The general led the people to the tree, peeled off the weeds under the tree, and at the root of the tree, a small hole in the ground appeared in front of everyone.

"Looks like they came out of here, and then came back here after attacking the team." An adjutant said.

"How can a beast attack us?" The leader of the general couldn't figure it out, and wondered: "Could it be that these beasts know the thief, or that they have the ability to control foxes?" ”

"I think the foxes in this mountain have become fine, as fine as people." The adjutant guessed.

"If there are any beasts, they are all gods." The leader of the Liang army stopped the adjutant's words, so as not to disturb people's hearts with strange things.

"Whether you succeed or not, you won't know if you force those foxes out." A former Orion-turned-soldier suggested.

"Do you have a way?" The leader asked.

"When we catch the animals in the hole, we usually use smoke, and as long as we pour smoke into the hole, it won't take long to force the animals inside."

"That's a good idea." The leader of the Liang army immediately gave an order, ordered people to collect dry firewood and dead leaves, pile these things at the entrance of the cave, and then light the flames, and let people use their coats as fans to desperately pour smoke into the cave.

A group of people surrounded the entrance of the cave, fanning the wind desperately.

Smoke poured into the hole under the roots of the tree, but the hole seemed to be filled with inadequacy, and no matter how much smoke went in, there was no response.

"Speed up." The leaders of the two armies urged.

The fan soldier gritted his teeth and used all the strength to feed.

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

The speed at which the smoke poured into the cavern increased again.

The cave keeps swallowing smoke.

When a group of people got tired, they replaced the next group of people, and a total of three waves of people were replaced.

Everyone looked at the entrance of the cave expectantly, hoping to see the culprit who killed their comrades in the next moment.

Who knew that the murderous fox didn't get out of this hole.

Instead, it drills out of other holes.

Around the woods, there are dozens of holes in the dense.

Hundreds of foxes scurried out of these holes.

All the holes that were exposed should have been figured out, because the smoke slowly drifted out of the holes that the fox escaped.
