All the advance team members were taken aback, and Wicks immediately ordered all the members not to act rashly, and the two sides met inexplicably, and inexplicably confronted each other for a short time.

Wicks was not shocked that he was surrounded by enemies, this more than 100 people, with long hair and dirty faces, wearing various animal skins, and rudimentary weapons, obviously came against these two black bears, but they encountered the advance team, but being able to surround the advance team quietly was the biggest key to Wicks' shock. With the quality of himself and the advance team, when guarding the black bear, it is impossible to only hear the voice of the black bear without any traces of the more than 100 people, judging from the tacit understanding of the costume and equipment and the complete integration with this jungle, there can only be one explanation, these people are the masters of this area.

The encirclement of the other side only left the way when the advance party came, and it was obvious that the other side did not want to clash with him, but only hoped that he would retreat despite the difficulties. Wicks didn't want to have a conflict with them, he believed that with his own people, he could completely eliminate these people, but judging from the performance of the other party just now, although the equipment was poor, if his side did not have casualties, it was absolutely impossible, and the situation was unknown, these people were likely to be natives here, and they were people's territory, so it was better not to cause trouble!

"Stay away from the two black bears and go back the way you came!" After a short confrontation, the other party did not respond, and Wicks did not want to have any contact with the other party before figuring out the situation, so that the traces of the advance team would be exposed, and now they only thought that they were bandits, but after the conflict broke out, it was difficult to say!

Although Wicks's order was unacceptable, the situation was such that he had to retreat first!

The company cautiously retreated along the creek for more than an hour before the advance team stopped!

"Mistress Mizter, did you really not find anyone in the mountains when you climbed over this mountain area earlier?" Wicks ordered everyone to rest in place, and then asked Mizter with some unease.

"General Wicks, this mountainous area is so big, we don't know where we are now, the routes are different, and we will encounter different dangers!" Mizter laughed, "I don't think I would have been able to return to Fuxing City if I had met them alone!" ”

"According to your analysis, who should these be?" Wicks continued.

"Maybe it's because of the war in Erathia that the refugees fled here to find a way to survive, or maybe they've existed here for hundreds or thousands of years!" "But it's certain that it can't be any of the enemy's strongholds here!" ”

"It can't be because of the new refugees over the years!" "They are too familiar with this mountain, this jungle, every inch of land, every taste, no generation has been adapted, no one can do this!" ”

"Lord Weeks, what are you going to do?" Mizette nodded and said, "Since we don't want to mess with them, are we going to take a detour?" ”

"Detour?" Wicks laughed, "Joke, we were defenseless just now, I don't want to cause casualties in a hurry, this area is so big, how can you go around?" Mizter, if they were natives in the vicinity, it was impossible for them to hunt in the spring and summer seasons, and they were going to hunt and kill two breeding black bears, this should be far away from their camp, they would do this, it was just a chance encounter, there is no need to worry! ”

"It's better to be careful!" "If we start a conflict, expose our whereabouts, or fail to arrive on time, then we will be punished by military regulations, and it is better not to cause trouble!" ”

"Rest for two hours, then go back the way you came!" Weeks said, "I'll explore first, we'll meet up where we used to kill the bear!" ”

"General Wicks, you are the main general, you can't take such a risk!" Mizter hurriedly said, "If you want to go to reconnoitre, it can't be you, in case of an accident, what if you call the advance team?" ”

Wicks said with a smile: "The advance team is not a regular army, but a special force of the Fifth Legion, and it will not lose the will of the army just because of who it loses!" Don't worry, Mistress Mizt, in this case, it is best for me to go to scout, and the team will be in your custody for the time being! ”

After Wicks finished speaking, despite Mizt's further dissuasion, he had already dodged and jumped to the side of the stream dozens of meters away, and quickly led it into the jungle along the stream......

Along the creek, back to the place where the two black bears were killed, the natives had already left with their booty, but Wicks could still find the lair of these people according to the traces left by the natives, his original intention was not to look for trouble, but his march route must avoid the camp of these people, or from the clues of these people to find their location or the road to the outside world, feel the situation to save the haste of temporary emergencies, and be prepared......

Following the tracks, Wicks followed for more than half an hour, and finally gradually caught up with the group, carrying two black bears through the jungle quickly. Wicks didn't dare to approach, and quietly followed behind, so as not to be discovered by the other party, with the strength of the top few on his hero invincible list, plus the past few years in the army, tracking and anti-tracking are as simple as eating and drinking, even if they are discovered, they can be confident that they can slip away intact.

After walking for more than two hours, Higg saw smoke curling in the distance, like clouds and mist!

More than 100 people came out of the woods at some point, including adult men, women, and children, all dressed in simple and primitive clothes, and with different weapons in their hands, who seemed to be very happy to see that the team on patrol today had gained a lot.

The group of people who converged continued towards the place where the smoke rose, and in less than half an hour, they reached the location of a canyon, and Weeks, who was following behind, was stunned by the scene in front of them!

A small river flows through the middle of the canyon, and on both sides of the small river are cliffs, and countless wooden houses and stone houses loom on the cliffs, and those wooden houses and stone houses complement each other with the rocks, trees, and caves on the cliffs, and if it were not for the smoke of some houses, Weeks probably would not have noticed the existence of these man-made buildings.

From the bottom and top of the cliff, there are steps or ladders to connect those houses, the width of the canyon is less than a hundred meters, hundreds of meters long, the whole cliff is simply a military fortress, Wicks believes that if his own advance team rashly passed through these fortresses and was ambushed, even if his entire advance team of 100 people was not completely destroyed, there would be only a few people left!

Wicks was secretly frightened in his heart, fortunately he came out to reconnoiter in advance, otherwise, according to the route of the advance team, he would probably mistakenly break into the camp of these natives along the creek and be exterminated as bandits.

Although there were no people in the camp, Weeks believed that there were at least two or three thousand people in the whole camp, but they were hidden on the cliffs, and they could not be detected by themselves, and these people were also in harmony with nature, just like the wooden and stone houses, and they were the real masters of this Karaka mountain.

His advance team should already be waiting for him in the predetermined position, and Weeks needs to return to the team immediately and direct his men and horses to stay away from this place, it is no longer a question of whether to expose or not, but how much trouble it will cause if they break in by mistake.

Wicks, who hurriedly turned around to evacuate, found that behind him, he was surrounded by more than a dozen natives, and what surprised Wicks even more was that several people were wearing soldiers' armor and holding soldiers' spears, which were all the standard equipment of the Aracya soldiers, and they belonged to the Arad army! Could it be that Arad set up a stronghold here in order to prevent Catherine's camp from taking this route to sneak attack the Guanzhong Plain?

Wicks didn't have time to think about these things, he didn't want to hurt people and cause a conflict between the two sides, so a fireball rolled forward, and those natives were also taken aback, and immediately avoided the fireball, opening a way for Wicks' retreat, Wicks did not hesitate to take advantage of the other party's panic, and followed the fireball to dodge and see that he was about to break through the encirclement.

"Kill!" When the other party saw Wicks' resistance, the leader shouted without hesitation, just like Wicks was the prey they wanted to catch, and if the prey resisted, they would rush up without hesitation, because if the prey did not die, the hunters would be very dangerous.

Spears, spears, and arrows were hurled in the direction of Wicks......

Wicks was not afraid, although he did not have armor to protect himself, he relied on dodging left and right, and then blocking his fists and kicks, and immediately defused the opponent's attack, but his retreat was slowed down because of this.

But although the other party threw away the spear and spear in his hand, he did not stop watching, and the archer with the bow and arrow continued to bend the bow and shoot arrows, and the person without the bow and arrow covered his mouth with the palm of his right hand, and shot an extremely small steel needle towards Wicks......

Wicks was shocked, these steel needles were extremely small, almost invisible, he wanted to dodge, but he was not sure where to hide, the armor on his body was thrown into the cliff again, in a panic, he had to hurriedly send out a huge fireball, trying to use the impact of the big fireball to knock down these steel needles. But Wicks was not Higg, and he couldn't cast magic skills as he wanted, so in the end he was a step too late, at least three of them hit the leg and the rib position, Wicks only felt a sharp pain, and then took advantage of the momentum of the fireball explosion, jumped thirty or forty meters away, away from the opponent's circle.

A dozen natives hurriedly chased after him, but they did not rush to get close to Wicks, but followed closely behind Wicks to prevent their prey from escaping.

It's just three steel needles, Wicks smiled faintly, can these things still hurt people? He hurriedly looked at the two wounds on his right leg, only to see that the position of the steel needle was shot by the steel needle, the muscles on the thigh had become purple and black and swollen, and the same was true for the wound under the ribs, so he was taken aback, knowing that he was poisoned, he quickly pulled out three steel needles with his hands and threw them away.

The dozen or so natives behind him still seemed to follow Wicks unhurriedly......

Wicks felt more and more that a wave of paralysis began to spread from the wound to the surroundings, making his movements more and more slow, and what made him even more discolored was that the thumb and index finger of his right hand that had just pulled out the steel needle also turned purple and black, and the toxicity slowly spread to the entire palm, slowly becoming paralyzed......
