Chapter 47: The Jungle
Leaving the horse, Ye Jun became more flexible and active like an assassin who was proficient in assassination and threw away his self-defense armor.
Of course, a person's two legs must not outrun the horse's four legs. Ye Jun naturally had a way to deal with it: his escape route was no longer the winding country roads, but the dense primeval forest.
As a result, the Yellow Silk Thieves were forced to abandon their horses and enter the woods to pursue Ye Jun.
If Ye Jun, who entered the forest, suddenly turned into an elf in the jungle. Then in the jungle, without Ye Jun's trace, the yellow silk thieves will only be wild boars who are reckless and rude and rampant in the woods.
After returning to his "home field" and seeing the situation of the yellow silk thief, fleeing was no longer the primary thought in Ye Jun's heart.
Counterattack!
He calmly thought about it and made a decision.
"Where's that ghost boy... Ouch! "A man who was at the forefront of the way, scolding and swearing incessantly, and constantly moving his hands, slashed a horizontally growing branch with his beloved riding knife, which was carefully wiped every day, suddenly changed!
I saw another branch that was originally growing diagonally to the side suddenly hit him with a fierce "snap-" !
The strong man who only had time to let out a scream of "oops" was beaten by a tree branch and fell backwards.
This time, the blow was extremely heavy. He had bled and killed, and had many glorious scars on his body, and he was almost in tears.
He felt half of his body numb and unconscious, but he didn't know that greater danger was yet to come.
As he fell backwards, a waist-thin giant tree on the left and right collapsed and smashed towards the place where he had fallen.
The strong man rolled and fled in embarrassment, but was suddenly tied to a rope, which dragged him for several kilometers, and finally rolled down the slope several kilometers deep.
Seeing this, the remaining yellow silk thieves who followed him were frightened and avoided one after another. After waiting for a long time, I only heard the wailing of the strong man who fell under the slope, and everyone got up one after another.
"Is this a trap set by that kid?"
"Surely, shameless little bastard!"
"Since he has set a trap here, it means that he is nearby, everyone be careful and keep looking!"
The thieves left their wounded teammates behind and cautiously continued on their way.
The gang of yellow silk thieves began a terrifying journey like a hell: trees would suddenly fall, or they would suddenly roll and crash from a distance, and the branches and vines would turn into hooks, bonds, ropes, and wooden arrows that pierced the flesh of the human body.
There are endless traps, and the yellow silk thieves are constantly attributing.
But they never found the ghost.
Panic spread through the crowd. But they trembled to find that when there were only three or four people left walking in the mountains and forests, their fierce spirit could no longer resist their fear.
"Run!"
"Go back, go back! This place is horrible! ”
A few people stumbled back.
Not far behind them, Ye Jun, who was dressed in a camouflage cloak woven from leaves, raised his head slightly.
He breathed slowly, suppressing his excitement and restlessness.
Can't be impulsive, can't be impulsive! He naturally understands the truth of the trapped beast fighting.
These three panicked thieves are fighting for their lives, and he is afraid that he will have to hang up the lottery and even pay a greater price.
So, it's time to go back.
Thinking of this, Ye Jun had a smile on his face, and the feeling of the first actual combat ...... That's great!
His trap technique, which he first learned from a few old hunters, was used to trap wild beasts, and then it was the result of their own team work.
Ye Jun was actually not very satisfied in his heart, it was not enough to deal with a few reckless thieves who didn't even look at anything under their feet - he still needed to mend the knife one by one to deal with the scouts in the army with the same identity as him...... I'm afraid he'll be taught a counter-lesson!
The trap designed using the existing materials of the environment is still not powerful enough!
Ye Jun thought in his heart as he slowly withdrew from the mountain forest and ran vigilantly towards the camp more than ten miles away.
……
Zheng Sheng was very uneasy in his heart.
The night was getting darker, but none of the scouts had returned. Although the situation of pathfinding is different, based on past experience, at this point in time, everyone should be almost back.
But a team of scouts didn't come back today!
The matter is very serious, and when such a situation occurs, Zheng Sheng knows very well that there is only one possibility for the reason: they are being targeted, they can't get out, and they can't even come back!
And there is only one person who deals with him, Shi Chong and the Yellow Silk Thief!
Zheng Sheng immediately made a decision: ordered all the people to be on alert, and sent several teams of scouts to investigate outside the camp again.
The conjecture that the yellow silk thief was about to spread quickly, fortunately, the vast majority of this team had received Zheng Sheng's Tiger Guard Battalion training, and although there was some commotion, it was not like other caravans, the thief changed color, and collapsed without a fight.
In Zheng Sheng's tent, everyone was not as calm as when they were rectifying discipline outside.
Zheng Sheng's mood was also very heavy, previously, he sent a total of five teams of fifteen pathfinder scouts, each team was a combination of a Tiger Guard Battalion scout members and two elite guards, to talk about combat strength, it was reasonable to encounter a large number of yellow silk thieves to be defeated, but it was too surprising that no one could escape back!
Could it be that there is such a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guard Battalion and the Yellow Silk Thief?
The night is darker.
Outside the camp, the sound of horses' hooves could finally be heard again. Zheng Sheng's spirit was shocked.
Be the first scouts!
You know, he only took more than twenty horses with him on this trip—this is already the largest number of horses he can come up with.
Of the scouts sent out, only the first group went out on horseback, and the second group was only on guard within three miles of the camp and did not bring horses.
Now, the horses have returned, and the scouts have not given warning. Apparently it could only be that the first scouts returned.
The first wave of three people returned, and they went southwest to reconnoiter the enemy.
"We met the light cavalry of the yellow silk thief, there were eight or nine people, and after some entanglement with the other party, we managed to get out smoothly, so we came back much later." Scout returns.
Zheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't look like the situation was very bad!
Soon, one after another, the remaining teams of scouts returned to the camp. Everyone has encountered the yellow silk thief, but the specific circumstances are different.
is better, for example, the first team that came back, the three members came back completely, and the three team members sent to the direction of Yunmengze in the northeast only came back one Li Bizhong, Ye Jun and Zheng Qushan were nowhere to be found.
Li Bizhong was also hit by an arrow in his left arm, and while someone bandaged him, he reluctantly recounted to Zheng Sheng what happened to his team.
“…… We encountered a large number of yellow silk thieves on the edge of Yunmengze, but thanks to Ye Shichang's quick response, we were able to escape from Zeban. But the thieves were in hot pursuit, so we had to disperse and evacuate......"
