In the deep and unfathomable shadows, several black shadows appeared ghostly at the same time from different directions.

Hearing the crisp birdsong of one long and two short, the four figures quickly gathered behind a tree and squatted down.

"What did you find?" A low voice rang out.

"It's not right, there are only giant trees on the edge of the forest, but there is no grass!"

"Yes, we can't find footprints or other clues!"

"In the direction that the last general explored, there was a row of giant trees blocking the way, so I had to return in vain!"

"That's amazing!" The low voice sighed, "It seems that this is the lair that leads to the thieves!" They were worried that they would take the weeds on the ground out of an obvious path because of their frequent access, and they didn't know how to remove all the grass in the vicinity! ”

"This forest is their lair?" One person was surprised: "So, our previous judgment is all wrong!" They are not fleeing at all, but calmly retreating to their lair with ease? ”

"Nope! You overestimate them! The low voice said, "No force can transform this Jedi into a base, maybe this is just an emergency passage that they haven't used for many years!" ”

"It can't be, right?" Another voice said in disbelief: "They chose to commit a shocking bloody crime in the Taihang Mountain, so they could immediately activate such a secret passage?" Also, if they are unmanned, who will take care of the grassless areas at the edge of the forest? Such a huge project would not have been possible without the long-term persistence of hundreds of people, and all this would not make sense! ”

"Indeed......" The low voice was also a little confused: "These two points also make me really puzzled, could it be that this heavenly stem branch has reached such a level of hand and eye to the sky?" Even the vast Taihang Mountain has already become their back garden! And this ground ......."

"What the hell is weird?" He grabbed the ground casually in distress: "Huh? No, the ground seems to have been tamped! ”

He ran through his fingertips, dug out a piece of hard soil, and looked at it carefully in front of him through the faint light, and suddenly his nose stood up, sniffed vigorously a few times, and immediately let out a smug laugh: "Your grandmother's was almost fooled by them!" ”

The other three rejoiced together: "What did you find?" ”

"The ground has been rammed with a layer of hard soil, and the soil below has been watered with lime water, how can grass grow again?" The man cautiously pressed the hard soil in his hand back into its place, and sneered: "What a clever method, in this way, they will not send people to clean it up for a year or two, and they can maintain the status quo of no grass on the ground!" ”

"But, General!" Another person wondered: "Watering lime water on the ground may indeed make not a single grass grow, but after a long time, won't the big trees here also die?" ”

"You kid knows a fart!" The man shook his head and said, "The trees here are almost all hundred-year-old giant trees, and their rhizomes go deep into the ground to draw water, and they are not too affected by the soil on the ground. And the thieves deliberately tamped the surface of the ground in order to delay the time for the dispersion of the agent and the infiltration of rainwater......"

"You can still leave no footprints, right?" The person being trained smiled bitterly: "General, you have explained one of these questions, but what about the other question?" ”

"Exactly!" Another person said: "The last general doesn't believe it either, how could the thieves predict that a large-scale operation would be taken in the Taihang Mountain, and a secret passage would be built in advance?" It's simply impossible! ”

"The thieves have taken great pains to hide their traces for only one purpose, and that is to cover up their secret passage ...... the forest, but how exactly do they do it?" The general muttered, "Could it be that I guessed wrong, there is indeed their lair here, or is it ......?"

He was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that among the twenty-five leaders of the Taihang Mountain, there is a group of people and horses who are simply the puppets they secretly support?" Otherwise, how could they have quietly avoided the eyes and ears of hundreds of thousands of mountain dwellers? ”

"Let's go!" The general suddenly got up and said, "Go and check that row of tree walls, if you can find the entrance, I believe everything will be revealed!" ”

Seeing Li Jin and Gan Ning working together to remove the bark of a giant tree, revealing the big hole in the back, even Nan Ying couldn't help but have a straight eye: "There is really a passage!" No wonder hundreds of people disappeared without a trace! ”

"General, your previous guess may be eight or nine is not far from ten!" Gao Feng also said sluggishly: "There must be a group of Taihang bandits who have been their people from beginning to end, and they have already started to operate this place by using the terrifying legend of the Jedi, otherwise how could it reach such a scale?" ”

"Who could it be?" Nan Ying pondered hard: "Such a big stroke can indeed only be completed by such a profound organization of the Heavenly Stem Branch!" ”

"It may not be difficult to find out this group of people!" Li Jin smiled and said: "The rise of the Taihang group of thieves is only a matter of one or two years, and such a huge project is by no means something that can be completed in a short period of time. As long as we carefully investigate the forces that first entered Taihang Mountain, we can narrow down the scope of suspicion! ”

"General, now that the entrance has been found, do you need to go back and mobilize the troops and horses?" Gao Feng looked at Nanying and said, "Or do we continue to investigate further?" ”

"Keep going deeper! We have the eye in the sky, and we can send the news back at any time! Nanying's eyes flashed: "The heavenly and terrestrial branches are inseparable from us. it! It is necessary to have insight into the situation in advance, and then plough the court and sweep the luke, leaving no one! ”

After passing through several tree holes and gaps between the two trees, a normal ground overgrown with weeds finally emerged.

Looking at the fallen grass and scattered branches and leaves everywhere on the ground, Nanying completely calmed down.

From now on, you can really enter this endless terrifying forest, what kind of earth-shattering secrets are hidden in it, and it is worth such exhausting manpower and material resources? And what kind of killing machine lurks ahead, is it a cruel and bloodthirsty ruthless killer, or a murderous invisible beast poisonous worm?

"Change your clothes! Inventory of equipment and supplies! His eyes flashed with excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time.

In the stunned gazes of Li Jin and Gan Ning, Gao Feng untied his bags, took out a few sets of carefully dyed and printed tight-fitting camouflage clothes, and handed them into their hands.

"Do you know why Ben only chose four?" Nanying smiled: "These camouflage clothes are made of cowhide, and the number is extremely rare, and there are only four sets around Ben General!" ”

Seeing that with the help of Gao Feng, Li Jin and Gan Ning were hurriedly changing their clothes, and he smiled again: "Do you know why Ben chose only the three of you?" ”

The two shook their heads together blankly.

"The skills of the four of us don't need to be detailed, and Li Jin, Gao Feng and Ben Jiang all have experience in the mountains and forests, and at the same time, Ben General's ear power, Gao Feng's eyesight and Li Jin's sense of smell are all superhuman, and they are all useful in such dangerous places......"

Before Nan Ying finished speaking, Gan Ning said with a hot face: "General, it seems that only the last general may drag everyone down!" ”

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Nan Ying smiled: "Among the four of us, you and Li Jin have the highest martial arts, and you and Li Jin both have good archery skills, so they are the best helpers to serve as cover!" ”

"Look!" He used a tree branch to draw a formation on the ground: "After going deep into the forest, Ben will act as the forward and move forward to open the way, Gao Feng will be responsible for breaking the rear, and the two of you will be responsible for the security and defense of the left and right wings!" Do you understand? ”

"No!" Several people shouted in unison: "How can a general be a striker? ”

"Your grandma's! All whisper! Nanying said unhappily: "This general is the best at night battles and forest battles, and he also has treasure armor on his body, which is exactly what he should do!" So shut up all and obey military orders! ”

"High wind, distribute snake medicine and insect repellent! Teach them how to put camouflage oil on their faces! Nanying said solemnly: "From now on, do all the marching signs, everyone is strong crossbows, and watch Ben sign language action!" ”

"What is sign language?" Li Jin and Gan Ning looked at each other.

"Look, you two are quite smart, let's pick a few simple ones to teach you first!" Gao Feng said in an old-fashioned manner: "Who let you follow the general for a short time? Only the moment to sharpen the knife. Look, if the general strikes his fist on the forehead, it means that he is on guard; Make a fist and raise your big finger to indicate safety; Raising your fist in the air means stopping and being vigilant..."

Nan Ying stopped, knelt on one knee and half-squatted down, and quickly raised his fist to hang in the air.

Li Jin and Gan Ning immediately followed the half-squatting without hesitation, pointing the strong crossbow in their hands to the sides, both of them were full of eager curiosity, they didn't expect to learn so many skills with the general!

Suddenly, Li Jin noticed that Nan Ying pointed at him, and then made a palm movement into the deep grass on the right, and his mind turned sharply, which seemed to be a gesture ordering him to step forward to reconnoitre.

He bent his waist and gently touched the grass to his right.

At this time, he found that Gao Feng, who was originally at the end of the team, immediately took his place, serving as a guard in the rear and on the right side at the same time, while the crossbow machine in Nanying's hand had been following his movements, apparently to cover.

Li Jin was both shocked and admired, this general, he seemed to know him more and more, but he didn't seem to be able to see through his ability at all! I really don't know what virtue and how I can be recognized by him!

He could feel that Nanying behind him kept his eyes on him, it seemed that he was observing his movements, right? Don't let the general see his clumsiness, he wails in his heart! Thinking that he was sweating in his palms, he tried to get rid of distractions and focus all his attention on the suspicious places ahead.

It's a pity that he can't see the smile on Nan Ying's lips behind him. This Li Jin is so satisfying!

When Li Jin made a safe gesture, Nanying almost laughed, not bad! This kid is fast enough!

Dozens of pits are clearly visible, and the soil is freshly turned. Nanying's face became heavy, no wonder the enemy did not leave the slightest evidence in the valley of Zhang Niujiao, it seems that they even brought the remains of the war dead and buried them here, it is really superb and leaky!

However, these enemies seem to have let their guard down as soon as they entered the forest, and there was not even a hint of camouflage from the hastily dug graves, and they were so confident in their secret passages that they had no idea that someone would be following them.

Suddenly, a cold and evil feeling invaded his whole body, it was a kind of fear full of murderous intent, which made Nanying almost shiver. He turned abruptly and pointed his crossbow at the dark woods.

"What's wrong? Checkmate! Several people shouted in shock at the same time.

"Everyone, be careful!" Nan Ying couldn't care about continuing to sign out, his sharp gaze swept over the peaceful and silent jungle in front of him: "I feel as if something terrible is watching us!" ”

"What?" The three of them all lost their color, and hurriedly pointed their crossbow arrows in all directions, but unfortunately, there was only a faint light in the dark forest, and it was completely dim in the distance, and nothing could be seen clearly.

The fear in Nanying's heart became heavier and heavier, as if a heavy stone was pressed in his chest, and he could barely breathe.

Suddenly, an inaudible sound sounded overhead, and Nanying was shocked: "Watch out above!" As he spoke, he immediately rolled sideways.

A black shadow swooped down from the lush foliage overhead, as fast as lightning.

Li Jin and the other three shouted in unison, and pulled the crossbow machine in their hands.

"Boom!" The sound of a heavy fall sounded.

Nanying leapt to his feet and aimed his crossbow at the black shadow that was lying on the ground.

A pair of fierce pupils in the darkness gradually dimmed, and a huge leopard was hit by two arrows, one in the forehead, and one through the chest and abdomen, and finally died blindly, but its limbs were still twitching slightly.

Several people wiped the cold sweat from their heads at the same time, and Gao Feng said ashamedly: "Hey! You two are on point, only my arrow doesn't know where to go! ”

Li Jin said angrily: "You kid is not accurate in archery, is he panicking, right?" ”

Several people chuckled at the same time.

Gan Ning smiled at Nanying: "The general is really powerful, if he hadn't sensed the crisis a long time ago, we're afraid that someone would really be injured!" Hey? General, what's wrong with you? ”

Nan Ying retracted his gaze and forced a smile: "It's nothing! But strangely, why have I killed this beast, but the feeling of danger that lingers in my heart has not dissipated? ”

Several people's hearts jumped at the same time, and they looked around, but in the darkness, there was still nothingness.

"That's it! Maybe it's the shadow of the general! Nanying cheered up and said: "It seems that this forest is indeed full of dangers, everyone should be more careful!" Let's get on the road! ”

"No!" The four of them continued to alternately cover and grope their way forward.

No one could see that in the distant shadows, a terrifying beast shadow slowly rose from the deep grass, and its dark green fierce eyes were exuding a terrifying cold light. It stared in the direction where the four of them had gone, and seemed to hesitate for a moment, wondering if it was jealous of the means of a few people to hunt the leopard like thunder, and finally jumped away in the other direction.
