Chapter 411: The Night of Slaughter
Li You admits that his camouflage technique has been quite successful, but Songzi has taught him an honest lesson. The pine nuts that have survived in the forest for many years www.biquge.info can be said to be a real "invisible expert".
The pine nuts scraped the sap from the tree, added some charcoal ash and some grass and wood slurry, mixed it and smeared it on Li You's face and clothes, his whole person was like an ordinary stone, and it was difficult to find traces when he squatted on the ground. And the whole process, no more than a quarter of an hour, after the two of them disguised, deliberately restrained their breath, completely blended with the surrounding environment, plus the cover of the night, it was difficult to find that these two stones were actually made by two big living people without walking in front of them.
It's business as usual in the camp. Normal guards were still arranged, and a lit bonfire lit up the surroundings, and from time to time there was the sound of talking. As time passed, the camp gradually quieted down, and by midnight, there was no sign of activity except for the guards on duty.
The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, but Li You could hear that two miles away, there were voices of living people approaching, and there were quite a few of them. These people behaved very professionally, and they were already very light on their feet two miles away. Judging by the numbers, there were about twenty people, divided into two groups, one in front of the other, and outflanked the camp.
In terms of numbers, there was less pressure than last night's provocation at the camp. But in fact, it can also be judged from this aspect that the statement of pine nuts is correct. The hunters had no intention of launching a general attack tonight, so there were not many of them. With such a small amount, even if the other party is unprepared, after attacking and waiting for the enemy to react, there will not be many people who can leave alive.
The hunters had whispered conversations. The conversation was in the local dialect, and the voice was light enough, Li You couldn't distinguish it clearly, and the retelling was not standard, Songzi couldn't translate the specific content from Li You's vague retelling, but from the pronunciation, he probably guessed that the other party's intention was to constantly cause trouble for the camp. One person is responsible for the first half of the night, and the other part is responsible for the second half of the night, so it is necessary not to let Li You and the others spend the night safely.
Regarding the other party's plan, Li You sneered. This kind of harassment may not seem dangerous, but in fact it is extremely vicious, and it is all about the last attack. As long as the team's strength decreases under constant harassment, the hunters will turn into hungry wolves and attack them. Now that the other party's psychology has been revealed, Li You naturally will not let it go easily.
"Since you are looking for death, you can't blame me for being ruthless......" Li You thought secretly.
"Coo-goo-goo-goo...... a group of hunters stopped a mile or so from the camp and blew the whistle for communication.
They didn't know that the distance between Li You and them was less than two hundred meters. In fact, in this forest, with the density of the forest, it is impossible to find a big living person standing five meters away during the day, let alone such a long distance in the night, Li You and Songzi who have been completely disguised.
"It's the sound of a stopped hunter reporting his location to his partner who has rounded to the opposite side." Matsuko explained to Li You the meaning of the whistles made by the hunters. During the years of fighting against the hunters, Matsuko was very familiar with the contact information of the hunters in Niguzhai.
"Hmm." Li You said he understood. He didn't wait for the other to get closer. He knew very well that if the other party didn't want to enter the camp and kill it, this distance was already the limit, and they would not continue to move forward, they would only carry out a series of harassment in this place. For example, arson to forests, or to drive away animals, release poisonous insects to attack, and so on.
Of course, it is impossible for Li You to let the other party use his means. He waited in the forest for a few hours, originally to be more proactive, to make himself a nightmare for the other party, rather than a passive means of dealing with the other party.
"Songzi, outflank the past, and deal with these guys in front of you first. But be careful, you just have to guard the one who flees to your side, and don't expose yourself first. Li You did not forget to tell the pine nuts. Although Matsuko has not suffered a big loss in the past with these hunters. But fleeing and active attack, the two are two different things and cannot be compared.
Matsuko's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly. In her opinion, tonight's move was the moment when years of old hatred were released.
Seeing this scene, Li You knew that his advice had no effect. It's just that he also knows that with the ability of pine nuts, there is still the ability to protect himself.
"Strange...... a hunter prostrate on the ground, holding a rudimentary block in his hand. The cube appears to be made of wood, staring at a needle-like object made of gray stone, surrounded by simple inscriptions. It's a simple compass. The hands trembled slightly, moving to the side. The amplitude is not large, but the position of the obvious point is changing.
Hunters naturally know that such an activity of the pointer means that the prey is moving nearby. This is a slight difference from the previous message. The reason why it is said to be a slight difference is because from the information I learned, the prey is in the camp not far in front of me. Perhaps, the prey is walking around the camp at the moment, right? The hunter speculated. But soon, the hunter's instinct came into play. He thinks it won't be that simple.
"Brethren, be careful, the little hairy man is likely to be near us......" The hunter whispered to his companions. However, as soon as the voice came out, a voice sounded beside him: "Hey, guys, what are you doing here?" Li You's voice was quite joyful. But in reality, he held a cold bronze sword in his hand, which was slashing at the hunter's throat. At such a close distance, it was impossible for him not to feel that the other party had the aura of multicolored stones, although it was weak, but as long as it existed, it naturally could not escape his perception.
"Ah......h However, the sound was only halfway out before it came to an abrupt halt. Blood gushed out from his neck. Splashes everywhere. Several hunters jumped in fright, and it was only then that they suddenly saw that there was an additional person behind them.
"It's called...... There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to break into hell? Li You seemed to be asking. The hunters are all fierce people, and when they found that the enemy suddenly appeared beside them and killed their companions, after the initial shock, they reacted, and the weapon in their hands attacked Li You's body, and there was a roaring sound in their mouths, like a beast after being enraged.
"It's him!"
"That Han man ...... last night"
"Ah...... Avenge...... He killed Nino! ”
