Looking at the bald man's face covered with black mud, only a pair of extremely serious eyes were still exposed, those eyes did not seem to be messing with me, there was no joke in them;

"What did you encounter?" , I softened down, retracted my countenance and asked;

"I don't know what it is";

The bald man paused, bringing everyone closer together, but he pulled me to the side alone, and slowly told me about his encounter with this team of mud ghosts.

It turned out that this bald man always had the same mood as me to come out to relax, after all, he was the only person besides me who knew about the "false enemy";

After the three teams separated on a gentle slope, the bald man followed the originally planned path all the way to the northwest to search, and since he had no fear of any hostile situation, his team should have been the first to enter the dense forest and reach the foot of the low mountain, and immediately released "wolf smoke" on a slightly open ground to inform the "lame" team who was supposed to be on his right and me on his right of the location of his camp;

Sandwiching the lame team between me and the bald man was my intention, after all: in terms of temporary reaction and combat ability, the lame team must be the weakest one, and being caught in the middle is itself a kind of protection for his seven or eight people.

But by the time it was dark, the smoke had already cleared, and the bald man did not wait for any of us to respond, but hesitantly camped on the spot, hoping that the smoke would be released again at dawn to inform us of his location, which was one of the plans we had agreed upon before we set out.

But when it was dawn, the bald man and the others were surprised to find that there were seven or eight more people around their campsite, who were "cripples" and balls and other wastes;

The bald man kicked awake the mute who belonged to the lame team, and the sleepy-eyed mute squeaked and couldn't tell the reason, until the lame man and the dan woke up and realized that they had lost their way, and entered the dense forest in the evening, and groped around and around to find the bald man's campsite, and connected with the secret sentry sent by the bald man;

As for the bald man when he asked why he didn't respond to the "wolf smoke signal", the cripple and Dandan said in unison that they didn't see any wolf smoke at all, and the trees around them were too high, not to mention wolf smoke, and even the sky was tightly covered;

The bald man did not tell any of them about the "false enemy", but only gave everyone a hasty meal of supplies, and kicked seven or eight people, including the lame, the ball, and the mute, back into the forest;

The bald man told them to come closer to me and search, but wherever they went, it was safe to put wolf smoke on the high ground near the low mountain before dark, and if there was no wolf smoke, the bald man's team would immediately move closer to the lame, which was the bald man's wishful thinking;

Hearing this, I thought that such a plan was very good, and it was clear that he was in fact very capable of commanding;

But who would have thought that the next day he crossed the low hill and continued to march northwest, but he plunged into another dense forest, and the towering trees obscured the sky and the sun, so that he had no sight of the low mountain at all;

This march lasted for a whole day, until he had to decide to camp in the forest, and the bald man could not wait for any signal from the lame man.

He decided that it was because his vision was blocked, and he calculated that nothing could happen to the lame team caught between me and him, after all, there was no enemy at all, and the so-called search of the three teams we were divided into was just a field exercise, unless we encountered a herd of fierce beasts, or we crossed the line and stepped into the "death jungle" that had frightened the Sichuan girls, otherwise it would be absolutely foolproof.

Oddly enough, there's nothing more staggering than the following:

The next morning, he and his team continued to search northwest until noon, when the dense forest gradually thinned out, and a small mountain range was revealed;

The bald man thought it was another place we hadn't explored before, and ordered it to be repaired on the spot...... But who knew that at this time, the secret whistle reported that there was movement at the top of the mountain, and the number of people was unknown, and it was on the tip of the low mountain above their heads!

This shocked the bald man, and the whole team immediately went into a state of alert; It was too far away for him to tell what it was, so he had to take two white robes and touch it towards the mountain;

But who would have thought that as soon as he reached the mountainside, he was surrounded with spears by several people who had been hiding in the corner, and it was the lame man;

It's a lame team again!

The bald man was very surprised why the cripple ran faster than himself, and actually touched the front of his team to this "new hillside" first, but the lame man's answer was: "They didn't move at all, the forest was too dense, and he was afraid of getting lost again, so he let the whole team go all the way along this low mountain range in the direction where I was, but unexpectedly, the mountain road was really dangerous, so I camped on the top of the mountain, waiting for our two groups of people to come to the rescue after discovering the wolf smoke signal he would release sooner or later;

After hearing the lame man's words, the bald man immediately fell into a circle, his team was always marching to the northwest, and he marched very carefully, because he understood that my purpose this time was to train the white-robed woodland survival and combat ability, naturally everything was carried out in accordance with the way of "anticipating the enemy's situation", but who would have thought that he actually got lost and went back here, and what made the bald man feel even more disgraced was that his stupid and lost his way was also caught by the lame, dumb and ball;

The bald man had to make up a lie that he had not seen the wolf smoke they had released, so he immediately turned back and waited for it, and told the lame man that they could come along the flat ground at the foot of the low hill in the direction of my team, so that it was very likely that they would meet me, and the bald man thought that this would also serve as a trainer;

When the two teams parted ways the next morning, the bald man once again refused the lame's request to merge the teams, because the bald man knew my thoughts, a squad of about ten people was the most advantageous size to penetrate the woodland, the team was too large to be conducive to the woodland, and the team was too small and easy to be eaten;

After the breakup, the bald man learned very well this time, he first climbed a giant tree by himself, and determined a group of target trees in the distance through the canopy, the target tree was in his northwest direction and was significantly higher than the surrounding trees, very easy to identify, the bald man's idea was: as long as Lao Tzu chased this group of trees, he would not get lost;

But the result? In the evening of the third day, the bald man once again returned to the foot of the low mountain with his "elite" in a daze...... He even saw a lump of poop that he had pulled at the foot of the mountain the day before!

This time the bald man was really a little unbearable, he thought he was not a road idiot, and he was very clear that he was following the original target tree group, but why did he return here?

So the bald man took two white robes and climbed to the top of the low mountain again to look into the distance, this view suddenly made his back cold, yesterday was obviously in the northwest of the pile of giant trees, but now suddenly disappeared, now the northwest of the trees, actually flat as a knife cut;

No matter how calm the person was, even if he was bald, he was a little flustered at this time, and he looked for a long time along the ridge of the low mountain in the direction where I should have been, and even sent two groups of white robes to search in all directions, and the premise of the search was that they must not leave each other's line of sight;

The bald man was glad that he had made his last "sight" request, otherwise perhaps he would have lost two more sets of brothers;

That night, he carried his team and all his supplies up the hill where there was not a drop of water, hoping that some miracle would happen at dawn the next day, even if it would be good to meet the lame team again.

He told me personally, "This is the first time he's felt fear since he followed me";

"That's all?" I felt a little unsure about what he said, I don't know if it was an exaggeration or if he was really lost;

"That's all? This...... This is just the beginning of our nightmare! The bald man picked up a stick and put it in his mouth, as I did.
