Chapter 176: Another ambush
But Lin Ruowei stopped her, saying that she was most worried about the people in the tribe now, and if that killer suddenly appeared to harm them, it would be the most unacceptable thing for her, so she didn't plan to go back to take revenge on those barbarians.
Although Lin Yue was very angry, he also knew that Lin Ruowei was right, now was not the time to calculate, if he found the serial killer or ensured the safety of Lin Ruowei's clan, it would not be too late to come back and settle the account, so he had to forcibly suppress his anger.
We stayed in the cave all morning, and waited for Lin Ruowei to recover a little before we got back on the road.
It's just that this time Qian Enhao is in charge of leading the way, he has lived in the jungle before, although he doesn't know how to walk, but Lin Ruowei, who is in the middle of the line, can point out the general direction, and he is moving forward relatively smoothly.
For the purpose of taking care of Lin Ruowei, we stopped and stopped, and we didn't walk much that day, and then we chose to camp temporarily under a cliff.
For safety reasons, the place we chose had a wider view, and at the same time there was a high cliff behind us, which could prevent someone from sneaking up behind, and the vegetation in this mountain was too dense to know if anyone was peeping at us in the dense forest.
After setting up the camp, I saw that Lin Ruowei's face was still a little pale, and I couldn't help but ask her if she had any internal injuries, she shook her head and smiled bitterly and said no, it was really just overexertion.
I was a little puzzled by her statement, because according to her ability, she would not be so tired after recovering for so long, but I didn't know what she was hiding, so I had to pretend to believe her, tell her to rest, and then go get dinner.
Because we knew that we would have to live on the mountain road for a few days, we prepared our marching rations, boiled some hot water and ate a bite of it, and it was already completely dark.
I'm going to have to sleep for a while tonight anyway because I barely closed my eyes last night and now I'm feeling tired too.
However, for the sake of safety, everyone still arranged to take turns on duty, the first was of course the two boys, then Lin Yue, then me, and finally Lin Ruowei.
I slept soundly, and I didn't have a dream until I saw someone walking towards me in the haze.
I remembered that I still had to be on duty all night, so I opened my eyes and got ready, only to see that it was not Lin Yue who was walking towards me, but a person who was completely black and I had never seen before.
His hand immediately touched his waist, where there was the Qinggang dagger I was carrying, but the black man didn't seem to be trying to hurt me, and when he saw my movements, he immediately stopped and made a shushing gesture on the side of his mouth.
I was stunned for a while, I didn't know what he wanted to do, I looked behind him, and found that Lin Yue was still sitting by the fire, and I didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.
Seeing my suspicious eyes, the man grinned, showed a mouth full of snow-white teeth, lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." ”
I'm even more curious, who would come out in the middle of the night to help us? Isn't that weird?
But the man didn't give me a chance to ask questions, and then said: "That's right, I know that your cultivation is the highest among these people, that's why I came to you, I want to tell you, don't go any further into the mountains, there is an ambush over there, they are waiting for you." ”
Looking at him suspiciously, I found that I had no hostility towards this person, but the hand on my waist never moved, looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”
This sound woke everyone up, including Lin Yue over there, who also turned his head to look over, and found that someone had actually run past her and ran to the people we were resting, and let out an exclamation.
This man in darkness seemed to be very timid, and when he saw us looking at him together, he shrank to the ground in fright, trembling incessantly, and was about to lose his words.
Lin Ruowei should have known him, and asked a little surprised, "How did you end up here?" ”
The man looked up at Lin Ruowei and said that I was here to deliver the letter, so I really don't want to go any further.
I quickly turned my head and asked Lin Ruowei, "Who is this?" That's what he told me. ”
She laughed a little and said that this guy is not a human at all, but he has practiced in this mountain for many years, and always likes to lurk around various tribes.
And this guy is dressed like this, but also to deceive others, so that people will not be afraid when they see him at first glance and think he is a human.
Everyone thought it was funny when they heard it, monkeys are intelligent animals, once they have become proficient in cultivation and have learned the human language, it is really easy to deceive people if they change their clothes a little.
Lin Ruowei told us that all the tribes in the mountains have legends about him, and in general, this monkey is not a bad guy, but occasionally he will go to the tribe to steal some delicious food, sometimes stealing too much wine and drinking too much, and if he is caught, people will not punish him, and will let him leave on his own.
But what she didn't expect was that this monkey would come to warn us kindly, which was beyond his previous behavior pattern.
But after listening to Lin Ruowei's narration, we already like this guy, even if his behavior is unexpected, but he is finally on our side, right?
So Lin Yue immediately ran over, squatted down and said to the monkey: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, and thank you." ”
The guy lying on the ground raised his head and said cautiously: "The matter is over, I'd better go." ”
Lin Yue said wait, went to his bag and took out a few bags of snacks and handed them to him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ruowei asked a few more questions, such as who was the person in the ambush, what the person who took the lead looked like, and whether she knew why she was dealing with us.
But the monkey had already been attracted by the snacks, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, so Lin Yue had no choice but to stick out his tongue, help him open one of the bags, and then tell him in a soft voice, don't worry, eat slowly.
Everyone watched speechlessly as it ate up a bag of potato chips, and after burping with satisfaction, Lin Ruowei said helplessly: "Answer my question." ”
Glancing at us, the monkey intermittently organized the language and spoke its findings.
It turned out that he had accidentally seen a large group of people gathered in the mountains, so he had a great curiosity and planned to secretly observe what these people wanted to do.
After all, it is an elf who grew up in the mountains, it lurks not far from the crowd, it is not discovered, and it successfully overhears the conspiracy of these people, and it is actually trying to deal with the holy daughter and her friends of a tribe in the mountains.
The monkey is also a sentient animal, and has received the blessing of the tribe in the past, and when he heard the news, he hurried out of the mountains to inform us, and the fire here at night was very conspicuous, and it found this place.
Obviously, before approaching us, it had been observing us from a distance for a long time, knowing that Lin Ruowei was present, and at the same time seeing that my strength was stronger than others, so it decided to tell me.
This was indeed a great challenge for it, because it had never been so close to a human before, and several of us exuded the aura of a cultivator, and it was still very scary.
After listening to this, although I don't know who the organizer is, I can't run away from Wang Jiayun and the others, through the appearance of the serial killer to attract us, and then ambush us halfway, I believe that those who already know our level must have designed a very sinister trap, right?
She didn't tell the monkey about our decision, and after thanking it, watching it disappear into the dark, Lin Ruowei looked at us and asked, "What do you think we should do?" ”
Qian Enhao was smarter, and said after a while: "I think this matter should still be aimed at Jiang Cha, those people must have spies on our side, otherwise how would they know our whereabouts?" But I don't think we can back down this time, even if we know that there is an ambush, we have to break through. ”
Lin Ruowei nodded and said the same as I thought, but we can't break in, it's better to give them a praying mantis to catch cicadas!
That's fine, because we don't know how the other side is ambushing, but we know where the ambush is, so it's better to sneak in the night and give them a surprise attack, and then see who has the last laugh.
After deciding on this, we didn't plan to rest anymore, and as soon as the sky was dawning, we stepped on the fresh dew in the mountains and set out on the road.
After another day's walk, it was not far from the enemy's ambush, and in order to prevent anyone from secretly watching, we pretended to find a place to camp, and prepared to take advantage of the darkness at night to move and attack the enemy.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the sky, and it turned out to be Dabao, who had not been seen for many days.
This guy hasn't been seen for months, and I thought it was going back to the mountains and forests, but I didn't expect to run so far to find me, and I almost jumped up in excitement.
When Dabao landed, I found that it had grown a lot taller, and it had caught up with me, and immediately ran over after seeing me, and rubbed it on my face with its long mouth affectionately, it seemed that it really missed me.
I knew it couldn't speak, but I still hugged Dabao's neck and talked a lot to it, telling it about parting.
Until it was dark, we added more firewood to the fire, and a few of us quietly disappeared into the darkness and set off in the dark.
Dabao was hovering in the sky at this time, its eyesight was very good, even at night, it could help us detect the enemy, it appeared too timely.
It was late at night, but there was a big moon in the sky, so we weren't going to walk around, but it was much slower than during the day.
After more than two hours, we finally came to the mouth of a valley, Lin Ruowei said that this is the place, this place is dangerous, you look at the peaks on both sides, not to mention, the entrance of the middle valley is very narrow, if the other party waits for us to walk in and block the entrance and exit, then we will become meat on the chopping board.
Qian Enhao shook his head and said that it would not be so troublesome, if my guess is correct, they only need to install some blasting devices on the mountainside, and as soon as we detonate after we walk in, then we will only be buried alive.
