Chapter 431: Pathfinding
The strong men who jumped up the trees in the forest, the moment they stepped on the branches, without exception, they heard a clatter, and they all fell to the ground.
The branches and trunks here are very easy to break, and they can only bear the weight of sixty or seventy catties.
Cai Wenxi knew this very well, and first took out the antidote pill from the pouch on his waist outside the Evil Swamp Forest and swallowed it, it was dark and damp, and there would be many poisonous insects, and the unknown threat in this was also one of the reasons why Ang sent troops to recruit the Evil Swamp Forest many times.
Raised his hand and touched the weapons equipped on his body, carried the whistle oil paint given by the palace people in his arms, carefully put it away, stood firmly, turned his palms up, and the cold air overflowed in an instant, Cai Wenxi hid three rounds of big moves, and finally revealed it at this moment.
The ice rose from the ground, the crystal clear iceman and Cai Wenxi scattered the cold air together, just around Cai Wenxi's side, the iceman in front of him explored the way, and the rest of the icemen protected, Cai Wenxi's iceman was unconscious, and it would be scary to be conscious, saying that it was protection was actually a moving ice wall, if there was anything to help her block it, it was still up to her.
With a circle of icemen beside him, he walked towards the depths of the Evil Swamp Forest, alerting his surroundings, in such an environment, the mountain bandits were nothing.
Carefully walked out of dozens of meters, less than 100 meters, and listened to the sound of fighting in the Evil Swamp Forest, swords colliding, clanging, Cai Wenxi's eyes followed the direction where the sound came from, it must be the strong man and the mountain bandit encountered, but I don't know which one.
Don't care about the internal force, roll and maintain the iceman around him, and continue to explore.
After walking a few meters further, the iceman who was exploring the way in front of him stepped forward, and suddenly became short, and the startled Cai Wenxi immediately paused and retreated, retracted his distant gaze, and moved down to look at the iceman in front of him.
Boy! It ran into a swamp so quickly.
Seeing the iceman she turned into sink little by little, against her own appearance, Cai Wenxi frowned, and suddenly felt a little strange, indescribably strange.
After collecting the internal force, the iceman trapped in the swamp dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, another one appeared on the other side, and indifferently changed direction and continued to move forward.
Cai Wenxi ran into the swamp again and lowered his head to carefully observe the difference between the swamp and ordinary land, and as a result, he had to squat down to distinguish who had the energy and could keep squatting and walking, so he simply turned into more icemen and sent forward to explore the way.
In the next three hours, Cai Wenxi even if she was on the same swamp, changed one direction, walked out of 100 meters, there was a swamp, turned in another direction, and walked out of 100 meters or a swamp, Cai Wenxi was fortunate to have an iceman in front of her to explore the way, otherwise she estimated that she would have fallen into the swamp 800 times.
With a calm face, he listened to Lin Nei have a fight at every turn, and the other strong people felt that they had encountered a group of mountain bandits, Cai Wenxi felt as if she was the only one left who had not touched the mountain bandits, staring at the surroundings and laughing at herself, too, she was surrounded by swamps, and the mountain bandits' brains were bad to come to her side.
The oil paint, which was originally used to mark the body of the slain bandits, was used by Cai Wenxi to record the surrounding routes, and her fingers were smeared with oil paint to draw on the trunks of the trees that passed by, and a route had already been drawn.
"It's dark and damp in this swamp forest, it's already autumn, and it's probably even colder at night, it's not a wise move to stay here at night, and then go back the way you want to go back at night, go back to the inn and rest, come back tomorrow early, and mark it anyway."
Cai Wenxi stared at the surroundings and muttered to herself, the strategy of launching a fierce offensive and winning quickly on the road had been thrown away at the moment, and she hadn't encountered anything after walking for so long, she was a little slack, and she muttered indifferently in her heart, it was better to come and explore the road on the first day, anyway, other strong people would definitely not be able to pick up the head of the mountain bandit leader on the first day.
Having made up his mind, he stepped faster, his fingers were stained with more paint, and he stared ahead and probed deeper into the Badden Swamp Forest, and after a while his thoughts drifted again, and he couldn't help muttering as he walked.
The leader of this mountain bandit in the Vicious Swamp Forest didn't have a portrait for us, let alone describe the physical signs of the leader, and he didn't say anything about his dress, what if he picked the wrong head? Tsk, you still have to run into a wave of mountain bandits, pick one and ask what their leader is like? Where is it? It's too hard to find like this.
Time passed little by little, and in the gloomy forest, the concept of time became more vague, and before I knew it, it was already night.
Duang。
The dart in Cai Wenxi's hand was brutally nailed to the trunk of the tree by the poisonous snake that was coiled on the branch and was about to jump on her, and she turned her head to look around, except for the trees that covered the sky, a few strange stones, an empty swamp in the distance, and even more towering rocks in the distance, Cai Wenxi remembered to look up at the sky along the gap in the branches and branches, and distinguish the time.
The shining stars entered Cai Wenxi's eyes through the gaps, and it was already night! Cai Wenxi didn't feel how many roads she had explored, she retracted her head and recalled today's results, she and her group of mountain bandits had not encountered any of them, and none of the other strong people had encountered them, but they had heard a lot of movements, and they also heard that there were strong people who blew the whistle, and they blew the whistle on the first day, and they didn't know what happened to them.
Cai Wen was stunned for a day's exploration, during which she encountered a few wild beasts and killed several batches of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes like Fang Cai, she really felt that she had done nothing, so she fell into the night.
Holding her chest and staying in place, pursing her lips and wrinkling her face to think about whether to go back, Cai Wenxi felt that she had done nothing, but she didn't know that the reason why she failed to meet other strong people was that she explored the path too fast, and most of the day's work had already explored most of the evil swamp forest, and the rest of the strong people were still trapped on the edge, after all, they didn't have a pathfinder artifact like Cai Wenxi.
Cai Wenxi didn't know that the mountain bandit's lair was already close at hand, just a few hundred meters ahead, behind the towering mountain rocks, but from Cai Wenxi's perspective at the moment, the mountain bandits' lair was built against the stones, and it was covered tightly, and she couldn't see anything.
Such an excellent opportunity, Cai Wenxi still missed it, looked up and stared ahead, resolutely turned away, wiped out the fire fold in the bag, squatted on the ground and grabbed a piece of wood, pulled out a cloth strip of homemade torch, in the dark forest, according to the tree trunk marked the original way back, vigilant around, secretly muttered, I have not encountered a mountain bandit in the daytime, if I touch it at night, it will be interesting.
This time it was not said by Cai Wen Xi Chrysostom, she walked out of the Evil Swamp Forest in one go, and went back to the inn to rest, the mountain bandits in the Evil Swamp Forest wanted to come out to patrol at night, but the losses were really heavy during the day, and the time to drink and eat meat and sleep was now gathered together to discuss countermeasures, with a heavy face and a grim scene.
"This Emperor Xuanang is a little ruthless! Ruthless and damaged! He himself sent troops to recruit here, so he invited the strong to clean it up in the name of the Shenwu Conference, which is obviously a fake public and private! The strong people didn't accuse Emperor Ang of this, and the other continents could agree to the question of the competition with Ang, and they were all the way! ”
In the brightly lit mountain bandit camp, in a room, a mountain bandit dressed boldly slapped the table with his palm, stood up excitedly and said to everyone in the room, and the surrounding mountain bandits echoed it, with a face of hatred for those people in the royal family.
It's also interesting that the mountain bandits are like this, a group of unreasonable people are here to talk about the unreasonableness of others, and they are not like this when they rob houses and rob people's daughters!
The atmosphere in the house quickly became up, and the mountain bandits were chattering, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became, and immediately gathered all the horses and horses, and wiped out the strong people and the royal family who came to the palace. How did this float?
Only the first person in the room remained serious, without saying a word, and his face was ugly.
Oh! The boss is him!
The face is square and the facial features are magnificent, just looking at his face, it is not like a fierce god like a mountain bandit, but a bit of an official's temperament, just and upright.
The mountain bandits looked at the face of the big boss was not good, how could they dare to talk more, they stopped their mouths, closed their expressions, sat down, the room was quiet for a while, the bandits all looked down and glanced at the face of the big boss, and they didn't open their mouths to see their old man, and moved their eyes to the face of the second master, and finally a few couldn't help it, and had the courage to ask the big boss what he meant.
The man sitting on the chair with a heavy face finally fixed his eyes on the faces of the mountain bandits, and opened his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave his brothers a slap in the head, and poured a basin of cold water from head to foot.
"Brothers, we should be finished."
The eyes of everyone in the room widened at the words of the big boss, and they obviously couldn't sit still, and then spoke anxiously.
"What is the big boss talking about, how is this finished."
"Tell me about it, but there are ten strong men, and we will defend the forest of the evil swamp by sending thousands of troops to attack before."
"The big boss is overly worried."
……
The mountain bandits all came to speak, and the room returned to noisy again for a while, but the leader of the mountain bandits didn't care, in this case, he bowed his head and sighed, this state is not good, which is what the mountain bandits should have, the second master finally got up to tidy up the situation, slapped the table with a palm and drank, the room was instantly quiet, retracted his gaze and fell on the big boss next to him, slowly sat down and his attitude changed instantly and asked softly.
"Why did the big boss say this?"
The mood was infected by the leader, and he was as confident as the other bandits, but now he is more worried and uneasy.
"This is not the case with the previous attack by Xun Ang, we only learned about the content of the competition of the Divine Martial Arts Conference when the strong men cleared the forest of the evil swamp, and the strong ones were already strong, and we had no time to investigate and prepare.
Put us in the eyes of ordinary people, we can be called strong in martial arts, but if we are put in front of the strong, the one who can be charged, gathering all the brothers together is enough to choke on one, not to mention ten! A mountain bandit sent out to patrol and investigate today, but one of them came back? Need I say more?
