Chapter 394: Searching for the Enemy
If it was Zhang Fan in the past, he would probably fight back against the opponent who surrounded him from the beginning at this moment, but when Zhang Fan's mental power and wisdom became stronger, it didn't take too much time to roughly calculate and even estimate in his mind: although the other party brought a lot of things, but the person was not too much, if he only started to flee after igniting those things or if he started to flee as soon as he launched a counterattack, then he was afraid that he would not be able to safely inflict heavy damage on most of the opponents。 The more reliable way is to not rush back and fight, but to find a way to escape first, so that the opponent can attack without any scruples. It would have been better if a large proportion of these people had been able to gather within a three-mile radius of the Shandong that they had previously hidden, and even if they weren't, they would have been able to maximize the effect of their own raids and pursuits from the outside.
In this way, when the other party launched a poisonous miasma attack, Zhang Fan did not fight back, but returned to the mountain, and through a unique way, the arrow Gu and even the wooden propeller blades made by himself rotated continuously, driving the flying object like a kite to drill into the height near the clouds without too much warning. At the beginning, it was even significantly lower than the clouds. But maybe it's because of the gloomy weather, or maybe Zhang Fan is more careful when making camouflage colors, using a slightly dirty white cloth, so it is not discovered by most people for the time being under the background and even the cover of distance. Of course, there is another reason for this, when the miasma is ignited, the people who surround and attack on the periphery can only choose to avoid it temporarily.
Because he had conducted many test flights before, Zhang Fan is now familiar with flying objects, and he does not feel as strenuous and awkward as he did at the beginning.
After flying in and near the clouds for about a quarter of an hour, and seemingly moving away from the person closest to him, Zhang Fan began to gradually lower his altitude, and finally stopped behind another hillside for a while.
Although it didn't seem to be anything to jump out of the other party's siege this time, Zhang Fan still felt that there was something wrong after thinking about it for a while. If you want to find the location of some of the other party's nests in the case of daily searching, and make temporary responses, this set of flying devices is really inconvenient, and you have to find another way...
Thinking of a new solution, when he thought that some of the diving equipment of the Far Barbarian Department seemed to be a little eyebrow-raising, Zhang Fan also sensed that those people of the Xishan Sect who had temporarily taken refuge in a long distance seemed to have begun to gradually concentrate after the poisonous miasma swept away at this moment, and many people began to send some special canine eagles or wisdom bees to investigate the cave where they were before.
At this time, Zhang Fan didn't hesitate much, and tried to control the flying machine and temporarily flew up under the drive of the arrow Gu group. This time, because the distance was not too far, it was discovered not long after Zhang Fan took off. However, for Zhang Fan, who is familiar with the road at this time, there is no threat and impact. By controlling the direction of flight, Zhang Fan swept along the general direction of the distribution of the crowd in the encirclement, first to make as many people as possible lose their ability to move in a relatively short period of time, and then focus on cleaning, so that in less than a minute or so, more than 500 targets on the ground were first eliminated. It's just that at this moment, the crowd in other directions has obviously run relatively scattered. In the high-altitude pursuit, Zhang Fan first launched a pursuit and sweep of those who fled relatively quickly, and then launched a series of patrols and clearances from a larger area, and finally cleared most of the forces that came to besiege him in a not too long time.
Of course, the degree of the other party's passive avoidance of the battle still exceeded Zhang Fan's expectations to some extent, and in the subsequent tracking process, Zhang Fan spent a total of about half a month chasing and even interrogating those captured before he learned some relevant information about the approximate location of the Xishan Platoon General Altar. Zhang Fan didn't dare to guarantee that these people were telling the truth, but even if it was a trap, Zhang Fan was going to admit it.
After learning the relevant information, Zhang Fan did not plan to delay for too long, but immediately began to set off and prepare for action, the leather products and even some unique clothing materials he needed before the conception, Zhang Fan could only use his mental power and even hands-on ability at this time to hurry while preparing to make himself. With Zhang Fan's ability at this time, it is not difficult to get some money from some ordinary big families. It's just that under the subconscious trade-off, Zhang Fan still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to do that, and he spent some effort to find a bandit gang that was obviously not very good at behaving and robbing the road was often unprincipled, and he wiped it out and plundered some assets. In Zhang Fan's view: it is nothing to collect some stolen money in return for the people's harm, or as long as it is finally fed back to the people in a large proportion.
It's just that all the way down, Zhang Fan's journey to the Xishan faction was still delayed for more than ten days, and with Zhang Fan's marching ability at this time, which was completely different from ordinary people's marching ability, it took about half a month to come to a deserted valley according to some places he knew before. But it is clear that the person he interrogated either did not tell the truth, or perhaps one of the strongholds of the Xishan faction was far away. In the search at the fastest speed, Zhang Fan finally found a trace when he was on the verge of a seemingly ordinary mountain range, and in a place inside the mountain, Zhang Fan seemed to faintly find a secret passage underground. So Zhang Fan continued to move forward along the seemingly deep secret passage on the surface, and finally found a place that although it didn't look very tall and there was no sign outside, it was actually a fortress-like place inside the entire mountain within a radius of about a mile.
Obviously: judging from the number of targets found inside the mountain-like fortress and even the degree of threat he felt about something, Zhang Fan could know that such a place was definitely not a small sect, or even a big faction in the ordinary sense, at least one of the several important strongholds of the Xishan faction.
However, just when Zhang Fan went a little deeper and was about to investigate in more detail, it seemed that a faint red mist gradually arose in many places in Zhang Fan's perception, that is, he had a unique spiritual perception ability, and he also discovered the threat that was quietly approaching at this night.
Clearly: this is a pretty shrewd trap: it is surrounded by a number of undetectable and not very damaging potential miasma. However, no matter how thin the poisonous miasma is, it is different from the ordinary poisonous mist, as long as it is infected with that faint poison, it may only take an extra day or two at most, and it may pose a threat to itself.
At this time, Zhang Fan did not hold it up, and used the leather airbag that had been prepared long ago to jump a lot of air into him and seal it. The entire leather airbag is about one foot in diameter and about five meters long, which can hold 40 buckets of air. Of course, Zhang Fan knew that this specification of air was not very generous for the operation he planned to carry out. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Fan still acted as fast as he could, using his unique spell ability at this time to clean up the opponents in those mountain secret passages, and in about three minutes, a total of more than 3,000 masters of the rivers and lakes and even at least a thousand obvious inhuman pests or biota were cleaned by Zhang Fan.
At this time, of course, Zhang Fan also knew that there was not much air left at this time, and at this time, he began to break through at a speed that was not too fast, but not too slow, and finally managed to highlight the indifferent poisonous miasma secretly arranged near this trap before those air ran out.
It should be said that this secret stronghold of the Xishan faction is still very doorway, if it weren't for the unique way he thought of, even a rare warlock like himself would have no way to take this secret stronghold, but this time Zhang Fan still relied on his own ability and wisdom to make the Xishan faction's seemingly large stronghold suffer a heavy blow without encountering too many difficulties.
Zhang Fan is of course not ignorant at this time, he understands that like the battlefield confrontation, the confrontation on the rivers and lakes is often more important to "play fast and slow", and sometimes he seeks to be "ready" when his hole cards are not too much, and the encounter is often more effective "ready" of the other party
Therefore, Zhang Fan didn't even pay attention to some of the sporadic minions in those secret passages that didn't seem to have too big danger signals, but searched in the direction of what seemed to be obviously larger, not like an escape passage and more like a trunk underground traffic passage, and the occasional threat signal became a beacon for himself to investigate clues.
In this way, when Zhang Fan's own mobility ability was no longer mediocre, when the sun was about to gradually rise, he finally saw a mountain peak that seemed to be a little unusual with the naked eye, outside the range of his perception ability, although the peak was not as tall as a snow-capped mountain, it also had a height of about two miles relative to the ground, and was largely close to the clouds. And the only way to such a high peak is a few ropes up and down that don't seem to be very strong. For those who have a certain level of martial arts, the ropes of these people who may not be able to bear too much weight and too many people cannot lead to the top of the mountain at all, but for those who have a certain level of skill, it is not very difficult. It's just that in this way, the road to the mountain is largely controlled by the opponent.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Fan still felt that if there was a showdown during the day, the effectiveness of many of his means would be greatly discounted, and it should be more advantageous to waste a day of lurking time and wait until night to act.
In this way, Zhang Fan still waited patiently for a day, and only began to restart the operation when the sky gradually darkened again. When he was only about five miles away from the dangerous peak of the Naxi Mountain Sect, Zhang Fan sensed some traps with his unique perception of threats. There is nothing unusual about these traps, at most they are just some simple crossbows or knife pits away from the slingshots, but the sheer number of them makes it seem that even arranging these simple traps is definitely a big project. Of course, these threats were easily avoided in front of Zhang Fan, and they were avoided under the majority of the invitations.
When Zhang Fan quietly approached this dangerous mountain peak about a mile away, he also found some unique doorways: in addition to those ropes, there were still some paths formed around the mountain arm on this steep cliff-like table-shaped mountain, and the width of the path was about half a foot away, and it was also necessary for someone with considerable skill to be able to travel along these paths. However, at this time, Zhang Fan could see that at this moment, this winding mountain path was full of traps. And it is clear that there are many secret sentinels watching the path to the top of the mountain. Zhang Fan roughly estimated that even with his own perception ability and even his unique skills, he still did not follow the other party's routine to sneak up the mountain from this path without encountering the possibility of danger. Because of his previous experience, Zhang Fan understood that his perception of danger within a certain distance, especially for some physical organs, could not be 100% accurate warning and perception.
In this case, Zhang Fan could only choose to quietly climb to a certain height and directly cross a certain range of stone walls to attack as he did when he entered Yunzhai in the near barbarian department. Compared with that time, Zhang Fan at this time was somewhat prepared for climbing. Using unique arrows, arrowheads, and silk, Zhang Fan climbed the cliff this time much easier than in the past.
It's just that what Zhang Fan still didn't expect was that his such a secret action seemed to be finally exposed. When Zhang Fan climbed to a distance of just about a mile, Zhang Fan could feel that an imperceptible red mist seemed to have risen in many places. It's just that at this time, Zhang Fan also felt the existence of many relatively dense targets within the range of that mountaintop.
Probably just a moment of hesitation, Zhang Fan still chose to take the risk and take the initiative to spend a certain amount of time to attack, to eliminate and even deter the opponent to the greatest extent. If many people on the other side are as flustered as they imagined, they may create an opportunity for another round of attacks and strikes.
In this way, at this moment, when Zhang Fan was barely able to penetrate a certain distance of obstacles to attack the target range, he directly used his unique spell ability at this time to launch a perspective attack, and in the following two minutes or so, the interior of the mountain cliff fortress began to panic.
