Takahashi Moriki got into the bamboo forest, quickly hid behind a few thick bamboo trunks, raised the telescope hanging on his chest and looked at the mountains behind, until he was sure that no one was following him, and then he sat on the forest grass with a violent gasp.

He gasped for a while before his breathing gradually stabilized, then he raised his hand to put his backpack on the ground, reached out and took off the mountain boots on his feet and poured out the stream water poured into them, and then straightened his two sore legs, leaned his body against the thick bamboo trunk behind him, and closed his eyes slightly to rest. Running wildly in the river for a long distance just now really exhausted all the physical strength in his body.

He rested for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes again, turned his head uneasily, raised his binoculars and looked down the small river at the foot of the mountain to look at the mountains behind, and saw that there were still no pursuers behind him, and then his heart really settled down.

He turned his head and put down the binoculars, took out some food from his body and slowly put it into his mouth, chewing slowly, while closing his eyes slightly, he pondered: "The other party sent someone with a hound to follow, and it is impossible to find his own traces in this kind of crisscrossing mountain streams." Damn, the other party actually arranged a guard post a few kilometers away from Lingxiu Mountain, which shows that the other party must be a military police, and those ordinary martial arts practitioners in the mountains do not have such a sense of vigilance."

Takahashi Moriki slowly finished eating the food in his hand, opened his eyes and looked up at the top of his head, and saw through the gap in the bamboo tips that the sun had set in the west, and the bright mountains had been dimmed just now.

He then closed his eyes again, recovering his strength steadily, and at the same time thinking about his next course of action. He was already alone on this trip, a lonely ninja who operated in the mountains in concealment, and it was impossible to get any support during the operation, so he could only rely on his own stealth to avoid his opponents.

And to get close to Lingxiu Mountain, he could only wait for it to get dark after dark, relying on the cover of night darkness to approach the mysterious mountain. From the experience just now, it can be seen that the other party has obviously arranged observation posts five or six kilometers away from Lingxiu Mountain, and there will definitely be more guards near Lingxiu Mountain, so he can only wait for night to fall before taking action.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised the kettle and took a sip of the cold stream water, and then rested his head on the thick bamboo trunk behind him.

In the evening, Takahashi Moriki, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a faint burst of gunshots. He was full of excitement, opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and lay on the grass of the bamboo forest, stretched out his right hand to his waist and pulled out the dagger, and looked out of the bamboo forest with his eyes in horror.

His first reaction was that the pursuers might be coming up! But he immediately judged from the faint sound of gunfire that the place of battle was far away from him.

He lay on the grass and listened intently for a while, and immediately judged from the faint sound of intermittent gunfire that it was the sound of assault rifle fire. He was shocked, this must be a battle between the Yamaguchi mercenaries and the military police here. He turned around and observed the outside of the forest, then quickly put on his boots and jumped, put on the backpack on the ground and walked out of the bamboo forest, and quickly ran to the top of the side mountain.

He ran to the top of the hill, quickly crouched down behind a rock, and raised his binoculars to look in the direction where the gunshots were coming from. The sound of gunfire in the distance was echoing intermittently in the mountains, but the undulating mountains blocked his vision, and he could not see the battle in the distance.

He put down his binoculars and listened quietly with his head tilted, and then he judged that the gunfire was coming from the southeast direction of Lingxiu Mountain. He then held his breath again, carefully discerning the firearms used by both sides from the faint sound of gunfire.

Gradually, Takahashi Moriki, an old special forces, finally heard the sound of assault rifles and pistols firing very professionally, and from the sound of gunfire, he immediately judged that this was a skirmish.

His face immediately sank, and he secretly said in his heart: Although he didn't see the exchange of fire between the two groups of people with his own eyes, he could judge from the intermittent gunfire that the other party was definitely not an ordinary police force, and he could fight so fiercely with the mercenaries composed of those special forces, and the force guarding Lingxiu Mountain was absolutely extraordinary, and it should be a special force with a certain strength!

He knew in his heart that when a recruit first entered the battlefield with real guns and ammunition, he would definitely have to raise his gun in a panic and shoot blindly in battle. At that time, the sound of gunfire should be the continuous strafing sound of assault rifles, and it will never be this kind of intermittent burst fire, which only specially trained special operations personnel or veterans who have been on the battlefield will shoot with a purpose.

Moreover, his location is far away from the place where the gunshots are fired, and there are snipers fighting inside, and the sound from the sniper rifle is extremely weak, and it is impossible for it to reach his ears from a long distance.

He closed his eyes and listened intently for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the mountains behind him, and suddenly had a question in his heart: just now he found the reflected light emitted from the top of the mountain in the distance, which shows that the tactical actions of these vigilantes are not very professional, and a special forces force with rich combat experience will never make such a low-level mistake.

But how could they get entangled with those mercenaries? If it were ordinary combatants, they should have been eliminated by these mercenaries with rich experience in mountain combat in the mountains.

At this time, he had already judged from the faint sound of gunfire that the number of warring parties was not large, so he did have doubts in his heart.

After a short time, the gunfire faintly heard from the mountains in the distance suddenly stopped, indicating that the short battle just now was over. Takahashi Moriki looked at the mountains in the distance with some confusion, then shook his head slightly and looked up at the sky.

The sky had darkened, and the dark red sky that had just been reflected by the setting sun had turned a dark gray. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and took out the satellite phone that had been cut off and put it in his backpack, wanting to call and ask his nephew Jiro Takahashi, what was going on in the battle just now?

He really wanted to know what kind of troops the other party had stationed here to protect them belonged to? Because if he wants to approach Lingxiu Mountain secretly, he must have an understanding of those guardians. His finger had just pressed the power and was about to turn on the phone, but a flash suddenly flashed in his mind, and the finger he pressed quickly stopped.

He looked at the satellite phone in his hand and suddenly thought, "Damn, why did you remember to contact Jiro again!" Turning off the communication tools by himself is to prevent those mercenaries from knowing that they are here, and calling Jiro now will definitely arouse the suspicion of those mercenaries. Besides, who knows if the troops guarding here are equipped with electronic monitoring equipment, if they are equipped with this kind of advanced positioning equipment, once they talk, they will definitely arouse the vigilance of the other party! It's a home base."
