Chapter 104: Confrontation
Although Chu Madsheng and his party, who were calculating, temporarily deceived the perception of the steel tongs tarantula, the unknown enemy was not a fuel-efficient lamp. When they split into two ways, the person who was called the third child had already discovered Chu Madsheng's motives.
Sensing that Chu Madsheng was groping towards the hidden cave like an unpredictable prophet, the third child and the others were also inexplicably nervous. In order to be able to mislead Chu Madsheng and his party again, the third child and the others had to find a place with sparse trees and prepare to carry out a surprise attack.
With two teammates working together to clean up the thorns, the travel speed of Chu Madsheng and his party has also been greatly improved. However, it was precisely their rapid movement that disturbed the birds resting in the forest.
"Chirp!"
The human discovery made the timid birds instinctively let out a burst of warning sounds, and as the birdsong echoed among the mountains and forests, the birds flew away from the resting place in a hurry, making the tall canopy tremble slightly.
However, it was precisely the bird's instinctive reaction that made Chu Madsheng's guard relax slightly. After all, if there is an ambush here, the birds will not rest here.
"Goo-goo!
Just as everyone was groping forward, not far ahead, there was a long birdsong again. As the sound echoed, birds of different sizes also fluttered into the sky.
"I'm afraid there is an ambush ahead, everyone beware!"
Through the smart helmet, Chu Madsheng reminded the two people walking in front very succinctly.
Hearing Chu Madsheng's suggestion, the two people walking in front of the team also became much more cautious, and they were also ready to meet the unknown invasion at any time.
"Stop!"
When Chu Yansheng noticed that the trees in front of him were becoming sparse, he decisively gave the order to stop advancing.
"Second brother, did you find something?"
He Yifei, who was beside him, glanced at the mountains and forests in front of him with a cautious face, but he didn't notice anything abnormal.
"The forests here are much looser, and if we rush in, I'm afraid we'll expose ourselves to the enemy's vision!"
Chu Madsheng pointed ahead and said uneasily.
"However, if the enemy sets up an ambush here, he will not be able to perfectly conceal his whereabouts!"
After weighing the pros and cons, He Yifei still didn't believe Chu Madsheng's prediction.
"Captain Meng, you take the three brothers and move on. Brother He and I led a group of men to outflank us from the left and right. Remember, be cautious!"
The experienced Chu Madsheng didn't pay attention to He Yifei, and in view of the current situation, he quickly formulated a new plan of action.
"Boss Chu, don't worry, our brothers are not vegetarians!"
Captain Meng swore an oath, and then beckoned to one person beside him, and continued to grope his way forward with the two people who opened the way in front of him.
Seeing this, Chu Madsheng also divided the guards behind him into two, and he took the lead in leading one of them, slowly walking towards the left side of Captain Meng.
Seeing this, He Yifei had no choice but to beckon the seven people assigned to him and go in the other direction.
"These guys are really cautious!"
At this moment, the third child, who was hiding in the canopy of lush foliage, had already discovered Captain Meng and the others who had come into view.
Although the soldiers of Sifang City have a uniform dress and configuration, Chu Madsheng and He Yifei have an extra short knife as a weapon, which invisibly makes the two of them conspicuously different from ordinary soldiers.
Of course, the third child, who has been wandering around Sifang City all the year round, naturally saw through this only flaw. When he saw what Captain Meng and the others were wearing, he had already concluded that this was just a decoy they had deliberately released.
"Third boss, what should we do?"
The people who came with the third child took the initiative to ask the leader for his idea.
"Don't worry, we haven't figured out their specific number yet, don't rashly launch an attack! Looking at them like this, they are obviously prepared, and if they are not careful, the seven of us brothers will become the turtles in the urn of others!"
The third child is also a thoughtful person, and he will never dare to act rashly before finding out the situation.
"But if we wait any longer, they'll pass under our noses!"
The person who asked for instructions before was obviously more impatient.
"There is still some distance from the base, even if we give up this opportunity, we can't fight an unprepared battle!"
The calm third child also has the nature of lurking and hunting in his bones, and before the situation is clear, he would rather miss the opportunity than expose himself too early.
In this way, the third and others who were hiding in a high place watched Captain Meng and his party cross the range of their own raid and calmly enter the dense forest farther away.
Compared with Captain Meng, Chu Madsheng and He Yifei's two teams were more cautious, but fortunately, with the cover of the wanton growth of branches and leaves, they did not reveal their whereabouts.
"Second brother, it seems that you are a little oversensitive, let me say, even if there is an ambush, no one will choose such an open place as the battlefield!"
Once again, He Yifei couldn't help but express his judgment.
"It seems that I am indeed a little too cautious! But it is good, there is always no harm in being careful! Since there is no ambush, it means that our whereabouts are still very hidden, at least, we can catch them off guard at a critical moment!"
Chu Madsheng glanced back at the sparse mountains and forests behind him, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Keep going!"
Without the slightest delay, Chu Madsheng gave the order to march again, and as his voice sounded, two guards once again took the initiative to walk in front of the team, taking over the work of the previous two.
"Goo-goo!
Just when everyone had just walked not far away, in the mountains and forests behind them, there was a sudden panicked cry of birds.
"Wow!"
As the cry reached his ears, the top of a giant tree not far behind Chu Madsheng also swayed suddenly.
"There is a situation!"
The mutation was protruding, and Chu Madsheng and the others also instinctively scattered, using the shrubs beside them as much as possible to hide their figures.
"Boss Chu, could it be some greedy weak desolate beasts who want to hunt birds that live on the canopy of trees, so they made such a move?"
However, after careful examination for a long time, they did not find anything unusual in the swaying canopy. At this moment, Captain Meng couldn't help but ask his suspicions.
"If that's the case, why isn't there a trace of the beast?"
Chu Madsheng replied uneasily, his eyes still staring directly at the canopy.
The cautious Chu Madsheng has always remained immobile, and he is also mentally confronting the unknown enemy. It wasn't until he saw a few harmless birds burrowing into the lush canopy that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go!"
Ruling out the danger, Chu Madsheng slowly got out of the bushes where he was hiding, and he instinctively glanced at the canopy again before giving the order to move forward.
"What is the origin of this group of people, who are so cautious? However, it is worth taking the risk, at least, it is also to see their numbers!"
At this moment, the third child hiding in the canopy was also nervous in a cold sweat. Before, he had blamed himself for his recklessness, but at this moment, he felt that his adventure had finally paid off handsomely.
