The night passed in anxious waiting, and at dawn the wind began to lighten, but the dark clouds overhead did not disperse, and under the gloomy sky, the lead clouds looked down as if they were attached to the top of their heads, as if they could reach out to them.

After a night of emergency repairs, there are already four ships that can be launched in the water, but this is enough, going out to save people is just doing their best to obey the fate of God, if you really want to search this sea area, even if these eighteen ships are all intact and sent out, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The rest of the personnel who did not have a rescue mission were left to set up a temporary camp on the beach.

In the current situation, it is impossible to sail again in a short time, and if the temporary camp is not towered, it will be difficult to cope with any bad weather.

So even though they didn't sleep all night, the 'sea wolves' still had to get busy, sending out people to search the islands and cutting down trees, vines, and everything else that could come in handy.

Li Zhen's luck was good, although his boat collided with another boat when he docked, this guy was not injured except for a little skin on his forehead.

It was precisely because of this that the task of finding the way was naturally entrusted to him, and he was responsible for exploring the island with a mass (three hundred) of 'waves'.

"Open your eyes wider, and give him a steel crossbow first if there is a situation, do you understand?" Before leaving, Li Zhen mobilized for the last time before the battle.

"Understood!" A neat answer.

The 'Sea Wolves' had learned lessons in the broken places of Yazhou and Linyi, and after being attacked by those natives from time to time, they all learned to strike first.

If you see any living thing, as long as it is alive, no matter how many legs it is, one person will give him a crossbow and then go over to look at it, ask if it is still alive, and if it is dead, throw it in place, anyway, these broken places in the south, there are many wild beasts, and the corpses can rarely stay overnight.

"Battle formation, go!" Anyway, the location where they are stationed now is on the beach, and then to the island is the jungle, so they don't even need to prepare, Li Zhen waved his hand and was the first to take the lead in getting in.

The gloomy sky and the dense low jungle make people feel very depressed, and the members of the 'Sea Wolf' are extremely cautious, paying attention to the surrounding situation while constantly paying attention to their feet to avoid falling into the traps used by the natives to hunt large prey.

The natives of the South China Sea will smear poison on any weapon, and this poison will seal their throats with blood, as long as the skin is cut a little, they basically will not even have to ask for help.

In the bushes, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

Li Zhen's fire team was divided into two combat teams and distributed on both sides of him, and he himself walked in the front as a pioneer of pathfinding, groping his way forward.

Sweat kept dripping down his face but he didn't have time to wipe it, and the armor on his body was very uncomfortable after being soaked in the seawater, but no one dared to take it off, all just to defend against unknown attacks.

"Bang bang ......" The sound of steel crossbows firing around them kept sounding, which was the team members firing crossbows at all suspicious targets.

Since there are three-edged arrows, Datang has eliminated a large number of original flat-headed arrows, and it is a waste that these things do not need to be piled up there, so they bring out a lot before going to sea, and it is definitely the best item to use to throw stones and ask for directions.

"Everyone, watch out, pay attention to the top of your head!" A voice came out of the dense forest, I don't know who made it, it is estimated that there is something above the head, and someone has suffered.

"Donkey Day, there are a lot of snakes in this place, so be careful." Another voice came.

"Don't touch anything you're not familiar with, and communicate it to each other."

The sound of connecting with each other continued to sound, and slowly, the entire exploration team became more efficient, and the distance between the five-person combat teams was more than thirty paces, and the distance of exploration became farther and farther, and gradually began to approach the location where the fire was found last night.

Two hours later, in a cave on a hill near the sea, the team led by Li Zhen gathered together.

"Captain, it's been a long time since the people left." After probing the icy campfire, the spearhead came back to report the situation: "There should have been five or seven people here last night, and the time to leave was about the middle of last night, that is, when we landed. ”

"Can you find the direction they left?" Li Zhen retracted his eyes and asked, looking at the sharp soldier.

The spearhead shook his head: "I can't find it, they should all be natives living in the jungle, they are used to the jungle, and they rarely leave traces." ”

"Let's go back." Since you can't find a goal, there's no point in staying any longer, so it's better to go back and think of another way.

"Bang bang ......" "Enemy ......" Just as Li Zhen was about to take people away, the sound of steel crossbows firing and the roar of sentries suddenly sounded on the periphery.

"Let's take a look......" Li Zhen didn't have time to think about it, and rushed out of the cave directly with a few people around him.

In just a few words, there were already screams and shouts outside, and when Li Zhen rushed out of the cave, he saw a situation that made him stunned.

Figures flickered in the jungle outside the cave, and it was impossible to see how many there were, and spears made of sharpened branches were constantly being projected from within, sticking into the slopes of the hill less than twenty paces from the defensive line.

What a strong arm strength! It is unimaginable that a spear thrown from the bottom of the mountain can be thrown at about two hundred paces.

"Everyone, defend where you are, don't go into the jungle." Looking at several 'sea wolf' team members with red eyes because of the injuries of their comrades, Li Zhen ordered loudly.

"Captain, it was they who launched the attack first, and the brothers didn't pay attention for a while, and seven or eight fell at that time." A chief covered in blood came to Li Zhen's side and said in a deep voice.

"Use a strong crossbow to drive them away, we are not familiar with the terrain here, don't follow their path." Li Zhen, who inherited the cautious character of the old man, gave an order after a little hesitation.

"Understood!" Shi Chang nodded vigorously, turned his head and stepped back.

The orders were passed down one by one, the defense became orderly, and the five-person combat squad began to gather fire towards the moving figures under the prompting of the squad leader.

The power of the covering shot was evident at this moment, and one person may have escaped the natives by missing because of the problem of aiming, but the aiming of five people basically did not have any dead ends.

Screams began to come from the woods at the foot of the mountain, followed by a series of indeterminate shouts, as if someone was directing the natives to attack.

"Don't worry about the arrows, kill them from a distance." Li Zhen, who was seriously injured by the sudden attack of the natives, and several of his subordinates held back an evil fire in his heart.

These damned natives were nimble like monkeys, jumping around in the woods without any rest, and without squeaking and screaming, no one knew what they were shouting.

Therefore, Li Zhen gradually lost the patience to stay alive, and planned to pioneer them, and then follow them to find the homes of these natives.
