Chapter 65: Tracking and Counter-Tracking
The sky was getting dark, and in the dark forest, more than 200 people were slowly moving forward, because there was a bright light in the center of the team, so although the number of people was large, they did not stretch out in a long line, and were tightly concentrated in one place, which facilitated the maintenance of order.
Huang Han led a few people to the back of the team, cleaning up the traces left by everyone one by one.
Liu Zhi and the other twenty people were divided into two teams, ambushed on the left and right sides of the team, watching the crowd slowly pass through the middle, but their eyes kept paying attention to the surroundings, they were very careful all the way, and they did not make the slightest noise when they moved, but the enemy in the dark was more cautious, it had been almost two hours, and there was still no trace.
After another ten minutes, the large army had already gone away, and the dense forest was plunged into darkness, but there was still no enemy to appear, and some of the people began to lose their patience.
Fang Shaochuan was lying on his stomach, the bushes completely covered his body, the only eyes that were exposed were slightly puzzled, he turned his head to look at Liu Zhi, and was about to pull the corner of his clothes, when he suddenly saw Liu Zhi raise his finger and make a shush gesture, Fang Shaochuan turned his eyes to a middle-aged man in his thirties next to Liu Zhi, only to see him frowning slightly, the tip of his nose sniffing slightly, and then his eyes lit up, and he nodded lightly.
This person was none other than the special awakened person who smelled the enhancement, named Tian Cong, who was recruited into the battle group by Liu Zhi along with "Windranger" and "Light Bulb".
Their skills can only be better displayed in the combat group.
The crowd was happy, but they didn't make a sound, waiting for the prey to come to the door.
After about a minute or so, a sturdy figure came into view, carrying a wooden bow and holding a spear, it bowed slightly, and it traveled very fast, but its rise and fall were almost silent, and if you did not listen attentively, you could hardly detect any sound.
After passing through the ambush area, it stopped in front of a large tree, drew a short knife and made a strange mark on the tree, and took a step in pursuit of the crowd's departure.
The people on Liu Zhi's side didn't move, but on the other side, there was a figure sneaking up, extremely burly, but acting like a civet cat, speeding through the dense forest, not only did not make the slightest movement, even the slight breathing sound was hidden, it was Tu Wei.
With him to make a move, Liu Zhi was still very relieved, his eyes turned to the back of the dense forest, and he waited for the other two half-werewolf scouts with peace of mind.
After a while, another figure appeared from the darkness, exactly the same as the previous half-werewolf costume, only slightly smaller, it stopped in front of the marked tree, as if determined the right direction, just about to take a step, a chill suddenly appeared in the heart, instinctively emerged a sense of crisis, but before it could react, a dark shadow jumped on its back, the dagger in its hand as fast as lightning three times, cutting its throat, and the other two deep into the heart.
The shadow retreated at the touch of a button, dodging the right paw that the half-werewolf grabbed before he died, watching the half-werewolf fall to the ground, holding his throat and making a soft grunting sound, his breathing was slightly short, and there was a bit of excitement and dazedness on his green face, and everyone saw clearly that it was Fang Shaochuan who made the shot.
Liu Zhi's mouth moved slightly, and he made a subtle sound of puffing, and Fang Shaochuan came back to his senses, quickly cleaned up the traces, and quietly retreated to the hiding place.
Giving a thumbs up, Liu Zhi fully affirmed his calm performance when attacking and killing, Fang Shaochuan took a deep breath and nodded slightly, obviously still in the noisy mood of killing a "person" for the first time.
Liu Zhi was not surprised by this, he was even more unbearable than Fang Shaochuan when he got the "first kill" in his previous life, almost while shouting loudly, he cut the opponent's corpse into pieces of meat, and did not recover until his comrades reminded him loudly, fortunately, he quickly adapted to this bloody battlefield, and in just half a month after that, he quickly grew into an elite warrior.
As the closest comrade-in-arms in his previous life, Fang Shaochuan is undoubtedly the same kind of person as him, calm in the face of things, decisive in action, and extremely outstanding in combat, as long as he adjusts his mentality, and then after the tempering of blood and fire, he will definitely become a top jungle raider.
At that time, this originally innocent and young boy would show a completely different side of him.
After waiting for another half a minute, the third half-werewolf scout arrived, it smelled blood from a long distance, climbed a big tree, it saw its companion lying on the ground, carefully observed the surroundings, found that there was no abnormal movement, and waited patiently for more than half an hour before rushing to the place, squatting in front of the corpse of its companion, it reached out to probe the temperature, and pinched the pool of blood that still exuded a faint fishy smell, lowered its head and thought about it for a while, then picked up the corpse of its companion, turned around and ran towards the place where it came.
Liu Zhi made a gesture, the two teams converged in one place, hanging silently behind, he must ensure the safety of the moving team, so it is undoubtedly the top priority to listen to the reality of the other party, let go of this guy, it is to follow it to find the location of the large army of half-werewolves, if there are too many of them, they can also lead them in the wrong direction.
Following all the way, under the command of Liu Zhi, everyone controlled the distance extremely well, and did not enter the perception range of the half-werewolf during the whole process, and of course they were not too far apart, so as not to let the situation of detachment happen.
The sky turned from dark to bright, and soon the night passed, the half-werewolf was still speeding ahead, Liu Zhi and the others were also in good condition, after awakening, not only the abilities would increase, but also the energy would increase significantly, and it would not sleep for a day or two, which was really not a problem for them.
However, the next thing was really a bit unexpected by Liu Zhi, the half-werewolf carried the corpse of his companion, walked for two days and three nights in a row, during which he only stopped four times, and the process of stopping was only for hunting, and after eating a few small animals he caught alive, and after replenishing enough energy, he continued to move forward, without the slightest idea of sleeping.
This is bitter Liu Zhi and the others who followed behind, the dry food has been eaten, and the drinking water is about to run out, so they have to send a few people out to find food and water, and they have not slept for three consecutive days, which is also a great test for everyone's willpower, Liu Zhi and Tu Wei are okay, and the rest of them are a little sluggish, and they are silently praying in their hearts that the half-werewolf's stomach will be hungry as soon as possible, so that they can take a nap.
Another day passed, and most of these recruits were close to their limits, and they all relied on their will, if it weren't for Liu Zhi, who led the team, I was afraid that there would be some dissatisfaction.
At this time, Duan Qi's bird came with news that not far ahead, many humanoid creatures appeared.
Only then did everyone lift their spirits, and continued to follow the half-werewolf, seeing it turn over a hill and disappear, Liu Zhi led the people to the side of the hill cautiously, and when he looked at it, his eyes suddenly opened up.
Up the hillside, there is a huge woodland, densely covered with hundreds of ancient trees, these ancient trees are unusually tall, even the shortest is afraid of nearly a hundred zhang high, the highest straight into the cloud peak, almost out of sight, on each ancient tree, there are several rough wooden houses, many young half-werewolves are chasing and playing on the trees, flying up and down.
Under the ancient tree, the adult female half-werewolf was busy, and the male was gathered in a circle, enjoying food, and when he saw the half-werewolf scout carrying back a corpse, he unconsciously stopped his movements and greeted him.
