Chapter 174: The Cave
At night, the mountains are as silent as death.
Hu Yu wiped the blood stains on the dagger from the tree next to him, and then carefully put it away.
I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring a weapon - only a small dagger on my body, which was not good news, and I had borrowed a sword from the guards earlier. Thinking so, Hu Yu kicked the wild wolf corpse next to him; The beast was too dead to die after being stabbed four times in a row by him.
In the game, this kind of little wolf of less than level 5 will be turned into gold coins and equipment after death, but in reality it is different. Hu Yu was afraid of its sound, and almost used a dagger to cut a hole in its head and throat; However, it didn't die right away—if Hu Yu hadn't reacted in time, it might have been bitten directly on the arm by the dying beast.
Fortunately, the battle just now didn't cause much noise. The growl of the tree-striped beast rushed down the hill, and the minions he had marked followed. After meeting each other, some continued to track down the mountain, and soon disappeared into the tracking range of the 'reconnaissance technique', some investigated the spot where Hu Yu had first encountered the tree-patterned beast, and some continued to return to the mountain.
Hu Yu didn't dare to slack off and continued to walk forward.
Because of the limited number of cards that can be exchanged for huàn, Hu Yu's reconnaissance technique does not mark all minions; Those markers only allow him to bypass some of his enemies, and if he's not lucky, he'll probably be noticed by other minions. And in front, there is a large army of the Black Dragon Adventure Regiment; Hu Yu didn't know the whereabouts of those people at all, and even if they were marked, they lost their tracking status because they were more than two kilometers.
Dilemma.
Hu Yu could see that the people of the Black Dragon Adventure Group were obviously lacking in organization; The sound that the tree-striped beast had just made. Almost immediately, it attracted everyone's attention; The minions swarmed to the place where the tree-striped beast sounded. Until after the meeting. They just began to divide the labor - and Hu Yu took this opportunity to enter the gap in their formation.
However, this is only a temporary solution. Using the abnormal sound made by the tree-patterned beast to tear apart the opponent's formation can certainly create such an opponent's warning blank space, but after the opponent closes the formation, Hu Yu can only be slaughtered by others. Now there are no extra points to use for huàn 'primary reconnaissance technique', Hu Yu himself is not a person who is good at concealment, he is fine in the forest, but most of the terrain in the mountains is bare. Instead, it's easy to expose.
I wonder when the reinforcements will arrive? Hu Yu scratched his head in distress as he moved forward cautiously. Now, he is undoubtedly on the verge of messing up the mission, and if he fails, there is no chance to do it again - reality is not a game, and if he messes up, it will be all over.
For now, we can only delay as much time as possible and wait for reinforcements to arrive. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Hu Yu was walking, but suddenly heard a sound of talking-in the darkness ahead, it seemed that someone was talking.
Go around a boulder. Hu Yu saw several people holding torches standing in front of a path; The breeze caressed and blew the faint sound of a few people talking.
"The Boss told us to ...... Guarding ......"
"I think I heard ...... just now"
"Can't be ...... alone"
With the sound of conversation. Not only did the little minions not move on, but they simply sat down at the mountain pass. This area is very empty, with craggy rocks in the back and a clearing in front, and it is obvious that these people intend to guard this area from letting people pass.
At this time, he encountered a few people who were in the way, Hu Yu was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to retreat quietly; And the minions who were attracted by the tree-patterned beast just now are already about to catch up again.
Hu Yu became more and more nervous, looking around for a place to hide; In this world, people who practice magic have more powerful sensory abilities than ordinary people, not only have stronger sight and hearing, but can even detect other people's magic fluctuations - if there are other magicians or warriors within two meters, even Hu Yu, a half-hanger, can detect it, and for some stronger people, the perception range is even farther. If it weren't for that 'primary reconnaissance technique', the current Hu Yu would have been exposed a long time ago.
Bypassing an oncoming minion, he was startled by the light of the torch on the other side. Hurriedly bypassed a mountain rock, but on the road facing him, there were several minions of the marked Black Dragon Adventure Group walking side by side. Hu Yu didn't remember that there was an enemy in this direction, but now was not the time to hesitate. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Hu Yu was also anxious; I wanted to walk through a rocky beach to the other side, but in a panic, I stepped on the air and fell into a small pit on the side of the road.
Making this kind of mistake at the critical moment, Hu Yu was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood, and he was about to get up by holding on to the stone wall on one side, but he was empty - on the mountain wall on the side, Hu Yu suddenly saw an inconspicuous stone crack.
The stone crevice of the black hole is just between two boulders; It's inconspicuous, but it's big enough for one person to enter sideways. Hu Yu's heart moved, and after he hurriedly drilled into this stone crevice, there was darkness inside that he couldn't see his fingers, and vaguely, there seemed to be the sound of Xi Suosuo resounding in the depths of the darkness. Is this a cave?
After coming to this conclusion, Hu Yu's heart moved. Now he has no fire or sufficient weapons, and it is not safe in this cave, which may be in an inexplicable danger; However, compared to those minions outside, Hu Yu would rather enter this kind of cave to try his luck.
The task of these Black Dragon Adventure Group is not to capture, but to be vigilant. Even if this cave was discovered, it would not have been possible to come in and investigate it—at least that's what Hu Yu thought. And the cave can cover up the magic fluctuations and aura on Hu Yu's body to the greatest extent, in this case, it can be regarded as a heaven-sent opportunity. In this world, there is an absolute strength gap between the weak and the strong; There may be a glimmer of life in this cave, but if it is discovered by those minions, there is no chance at all.
Dealing with wild monsters, as long as the other party is not very strong, Hu Yu at least has some chances, and if he can't beat it, he can even escape; But if it is discovered by the people of the Black Dragon Adventure Group, there will be no chance.
There were no torches, only a small dagger; Hu Yu gritted his teeth and walked cautiously towards the cave.
There was a subtle crunch, and it seemed as if a piece of wood had been stepped on under his feet; Immediately afterwards, the sound of the soot that had just been heard sounded again. Vaguely sensing a hint of magic from a living creature, Hu Yu opened his eyes wide, guarding against attacks from all around. (To be continued......)
