Chapter 682: A Simple and Crude Solution
Oneiroi walked through the woods with the phoenix-eating toad, and at first they were moving very fast, but when they were fifty meters closer to their destination, their speed began to slow down.
With each step, Oneiroi will carefully observe the surrounding situation and wait until it is sure that there will be no one hiding around before moving forward. In the jungle, it is very easy to hide, with the help of large trees, bushes, grass underneath, and small slopes behind the grass, etc., it is completely easy to hide your body.
He may have already discovered you before he even discovered the enemy, which also means that your every move falls into the eyes of the enemy, and what will happen next is self-evident.
The reason why Oneiroi knew why he was approaching his destination was because he had been calculating, and his march was generally two steps to one meter. Every time you take two steps, Oneiroi will make a mental note of this distance, take two more steps, and remember it again. By the time he reached two hundred meters, he had already walked four hundred steps.
For people like him, it's an instinct to remember things that ordinary people don't care about. The slightest detail, the slightest thing that is easily missed by others, the Oneiroi machine will lock him into the memory vault in his mind, so that he can use it immediately when he needs it.
The toad who ate the phoenix walked slowly with the Oneiroi machine, he could see the serious eyes of the Oneiroi machine, although he didn't know why he was doing this, but he knew that he had better not mess with such a Oneiroi machine. Professional things should be left to the professional, anyway, intuition tells him that Oneiroi is not a good person, all the time, all kinds of things that have been shown from Oneiroi's body, as well as behavioral habits, are telling him that Oneiroi is likely to be a thief who is good at stealing!
That's right, only thieves walk so carefully, and they like to play with small objects like daggers and throwing knives! Men, who doesn't like to be hard, big, and have long weapons? Just like him, he didn't learn from Liu Bei, using double swords as weapons, on the contrary, holding long pole knives and spears, for the sake of long soldiers, it looks like a wind and might!
Oneiroi didn't know what image he was in the heart of the toad eating the phoenix, and he concentrated on looking at the scene and object in front of him with his eyes, and the wind and grass were blowing, and he didn't let go of any superfluous sound.
From time to time in the trees, the sound of small animals running past, and the noisy chirping of birds in the trees, everything was a distraction. And as they move forward, a series of movements are inevitable that these birds will not be known.
Animals are far more observant than humans. Human acumen has also been weakened again and again in the process of evolution, and the better and better living conditions, as well as the development of science and technology, in disguise, represent that generation after generation of human beings will definitely be inferior to those human beings who originally struggled with heaven and earth and everything in the world in terms of physique and so on. The only thing that can be compared should be brain capacity and intelligence, but intelligence is not much of a role in extreme environments.
Oneiroi thought that his body had been trained and was not inferior to those primitive humans, but there was still no way to avoid the sight of the birds in the trees. Just as some tigers and lions hunt before they get close to their prey, and some birds are already flying wildly.
Even the animals of nature itself could not escape the eyes of the birds, let alone him and the toad who ate the phoenix, two visitors who did not belong to the forest at all.
They are guests, and the scouts among the Liangzhou cavalry are the masters.
The host and the guest originate from the time gap. The scouts hid in the forest first, and as time passed, the startled birds got used to their presence, did not perceive them as a threat, and returned to the branches. They are different, and every time they move forward, there will be birds screaming and fluttering and flying, which is a disguised hint.
If you are careful, you can see a little clue from it.
Oneiroi had no choice but to slow down his speed as much as possible, so that the birds in the trees could gradually get used to their presence.
In a short distance of 100 meters, the Oneiroi Machine and the toad that ate the phoenix walked for a long time, about more than 20 minutes. The time was estimated by the Oneiroi machine, and the toad that ate the phoenix still had a sense of agitation, how could he have the time and patience to calculate this useless thing at all.
Every time you recite a word in your mind, it represents a second, and the numbers overlap upwards to represent the sum of the time that has passed. By the time the Oneiroi machine reaches the 1200th, it basically means twenty minutes? His misestimation was about a second or two error per minute, and the longer he was, the more he was miscalculated. Twenty minutes, add about another minute, no more than two minutes at most.
"To the right, bow your head, don't speak." Oneiroi whispered as he leaned sideways, hiding behind the trunk of a tree.
Next to him, the toad that ate the phoenix also reacted quickly, and without speaking, he lowered his head silently and dodged to the right. There were no big trees beside him, but there were bushes, so he bent down and hid behind them.
With its eyes through the gaps in the trees, the toad that eats the phoenix can see the situation in the distance. But at first glance, he didn't see anything unusual, the woods were still the woods in his eyes, green, and normal anyway.
Turning his head, the phoenix-eating toad cast a puzzled look at the Oneiroi machine.
Oneiroi was also looking at him, stretched out a hand, two fingers, pointed to his eyes, and gestured forward.
The toad that ate the phoenix probably understood, and the Oneiroi machine was saying that he had seen something, and asked him to wait and move forward again. Comprehending, the toad that ate the phoenix waited patiently. He's not stupid, anyway, this living Oneiroi machine is more familiar than him, and he's been waiting for so long before, so it's not bad for a while.
Didn't the ancients say that those who wait will often be treated with all kindness. Eating the phoenix is sure that he will have a big harvest after a while. Otherwise, it is the injustice of the sky, the trick of fate, and the loss of humanity!
After seeing that the toad that ate the phoenix did not move, Oneiroi relieved himself, he was really afraid that this guy would suddenly have a curiosity attack at this time. In that case, things will be out of control, and what the Oneiroi machine saw just now was in the dark of those trees and bushes in the distance, and someone was hiding inside, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Three people, three eyes that are constantly patrolling, this is what the Oneiroi Machine has been looking for one after another since it found the owner of the first gaze. One person and two people are still sure to solve it, and his flying knife can completely solve them by surprise, but there are three people.
Three people are in completely different positions, two hands, two throwing knives, and can only solve two people. The third person would certainly have survived, and even if he couldn't, he could have sent a warning signal to inform the others after a short period of time.
The closer you get to the place, the more you have to be careful. The woods were dense, and he couldn't know how many scouts the Liangzhou cavalry had sent to keep an eye on all directions.
Of course, it is necessary to choose a different solution.
Oneiroi moved on, crouching down and diving toward the bushes to his left as a glance swept over the tree he was hiding. The three gazes, every once in a while, would exchange places to patrol each other, and it was the gap that these lines of sight swept through, and the gap where the scout himself blinked his eyes, to smoothly approach the scout on the far left.
He was the first target of the Oneiroi machine, hiding in a tree, condescending, and the one with the widest field of vision among the three scouts. At the same time, he is also the best one, because most of his body is hidden by the trunk of the tree beside him.
It will disappear for a while, and the other two people will not suspect it. As for the short time in between, it was enough for the Oneiroi machine, killing people couldn't be simpler, and quietly solving a person was a compulsory course for him.
Due to the existence of the toad that eats the phoenix, it is destined that there is no way to use this method of sneaking in, he can, but he can't eat the phoenix toad. Once there is a little problem in the middle, there is no way to save it, and you can only escape.
The camp of thousands of cavalry is not destined to be too big, let alone in the case of the slightest injury of the commander, it is not difficult to predict what kind of state it will be.
Kill all the way, use the fastest time to solve all the scouts who may raise the alarm, and probe Dong Zhuo's situation within the time they hand over to each other. This is the plan that the Oneiroi machine has just made, simple and crude.
There was wind in the woods, the wind blew, the trees rustled, the branches and leaves of the trees swayed even more, and the noise in the silence.
The scout in the tree yawned, a little bored.
It's been almost half a pillar of incense, right? He thought so.
Anyway, a long time has passed, and from the time he got here, until now, there has always been only the sound of wind and grass, and there has been no other unusual movement.
Oh yes.
He looked up at a bird that was flying, which was supposed to be a foraging bird. Anyway, the birds rose and fell, and in the woods, it was a very normal sight, at least he was not surprised.
If this was on the battlefield, he would definitely be very vigilant and keep his whole body on guard. However, this did not make people feel the slightest danger at all, and some were only drowsy.
Rushing along the way, they didn't have much time to rest, and they were all in a state of semi-exhaustion. As soon as you stop, after a long time, the whole person is even more lazy and wants to take a break.
With his eyelids pulled downward, the scout was awake again. He couldn't sleep, and if the scout who came to replace him saw this, he couldn't explain it, especially in this situation.
If he were to be reacted up, he would have been severely punished.
Although he thinks so, and it is true, the body is still true to his instinct and makes choices for him. The eyelids closed downward, and the darkness, the comforting darkness, made people reluctant to open their eyes to the light again.
The next moment, he was covered in another spirit, and his closed eyelids revealed a thin slit, and he saw the light in that gap. He felt it, he felt it, and there were cold hands already pinching the bones of his jaw.
It's the enemy! The scout was drowsy, his forehead and back were sweating coldly, he had no idea how the enemy had come to his back!
Before he could open his mouth and tell the other two companions the news of the enemy's appearance, he didn't even open his eyes completely. The world before him deflected, and for a moment he saw the view on the right, followed by a thick darkness.
Oneiroi lowered his hand and gently supported the scout's body, allowing him to lean against the trunk of the tree, and then put his hands in front of him and placed them on his lap in front of him. In this way, when the other two scouts look over, they will only think that they are only limited in their vision, or that the scout is lazy and will not associate things with enemies and dangers.
When they see it a second time or a third time, they will be suspicious and alert. But the time in between is completely enough for the Oneiroi machine.
He spent more of his time hiding himself, approaching the scouts. Killing only takes up a short period of two or three seconds, and when he walks behind the enemy, he is doomed to the death of this person.
Gently hold the enemy's head with both hands, no matter to the left or to the right, how to come easily, in the end, a person's life is just a crisp sound.
What kind of waves will a sound cause in the woods? There would be no waves, the other two scouts were separated by a distance, and by the time the noises in the woods reached their ears, they had become extremely faint and inaudible.
Climbing down the tree, Oneiroi approached the next two scouts. The eyes of the two scouts are intertwined, which means that as long as they don't look completely to one side, they can see each other out of the corner of their eyes.
It's not a matter anymore, a two-person solution is far more than a three-person solution. He just had to keep them silent, and it would be better to solve it with throwing knives.
A moment later, Oneiroi came out with a blood-stained throwing knife, and in his other hand a few leaves, wiping the blood from the knife as he walked. He used only one throwing knife, and while he was severing one scout with one hand, the flying knife had already plunged into the neck of the other scout.
He arrived at the hiding place of the toad that ate the phoenix, just as the knife had been wiped clean.
"Alright, settled, let's move on."
