After leaving a distance and finding a hiding place, Zhao Ning asked everyone to stop and rest for a while. The battle was short, but intense enough, and proper rest was necessary to keep the team in full swing.

Zhao Ning himself explored the periphery, still acting as a scout, finding the safest route for the team. The mountains and forests are dozens of miles in circumference, and more than 300 people are thrown into it, saying more and saying less and less, and if you are not careful, you may run into people head-on.

The forward route chosen by Zhao Ning was to move from the periphery spiral to the inside, delaying the time to enter the central area as much as possible, and at the same time searching for the periphery teams to the greatest extent, so that the lone person could be attacked and killed very well.

After leaning forward for a few miles, he didn't notice any abnormal movement, and when Zhao Ning was about to go back, he suddenly heard an extremely slight rustling sound, much like a squirrel jumping in the forest.

For the first time, he hid himself in the bushes and closed his breath.

The rustling sound was still slight, but as it kept getting closer, it didn't take long for Zhao Ning to see a cultivator squirrel like a squirrel passing over the treetops overhead, his demeanor was very attentive and careful.

"People from the Wu family?" Zhao Ning recognized the cultivator, a few days ago in the ring, the other party fought with him, and when he reported to his home, Zhao Ning remembered his identity.

Without looking too much, Zhao Ning knew that the other party was doing the same thing as himself. Obviously, the Wu team is not far away. He didn't move, and waited for the other party to leave, and then cautiously followed.

Zhao Ning originally planned to follow the other party, and when he returned after exploring forward, he would be able to find the location of the Wu clan along the way. Unexpectedly, this guy changed his direction halfway and went straight in the direction where the Zhao team followed.

If this continues, it won't be long before the two sides meet. Zhao Ning had to deal with him.

However, Zhao Ning did not make an immediate move, but stayed where he was and continued to hide.

As expected, another scout from the Wu clan team quickly appeared in Zhao Ning's field of vision, also jumping forward from treetop, and when he saw the mark left by the first scout in the middle, he changed direction.

Zhao Ning quickly followed.

The Wu clan is different from the Liu clan in that they are generals, and the scouts are very tightly arranged when marching. When he found out that the first scout had no intention of going back regardless of his head and went straight ahead, Zhao Ning knew that there must be scouts behind.

The main purpose of the second scout is to monitor the first scout, if the other party has an accident, he can immediately know, grasp the situation and report back to the team, if the other party is moving well, then confirm that the road ahead is safe.

When the army is fighting, the scouts are scattered out one after another, and they must be able to see each other and respond quickly in the event of an accident.

The scout has been disappearing for a long time, and the Lord General does not know about this situation, which basically does not happen.

As a general, Wu is of course well versed in the method of marching, but at the moment, he is limited to the number of people in the team, and can only send two groups of scouts.

Zhao Ning waited for a while, and after confirming that there was no third scout, and the first scout was about to make contact with the Zhao team, he quickly followed the second scout, and after quietly approaching a certain distance, he used the mirror water step by step to surprise and kill the other party with a knife.

The "dead" Wu scout stood there, staring at Zhao Ning with wide eyes, his face full of unwillingness.

Zhao Ning patted him on the shoulder with a smile, stuffed him into a pile of thorns to cover up, and went to deal with the first scout. Seeing Zhao Ning leave, this Wu cultivator was both discouraged and resentful.

But he didn't dare to break the rules.

In this mountain forest with a radius of dozens of miles, I don't know how many palace eunuchs are watching, and if the rules are violated, not only will the entire team be disqualified, but the Wu family will also be held accountable by the imperial court afterwards.

The first scout spotted the Zhao team, and his spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly retreated some distance, quickly climbed the canopy of a big tree, opened his arms and waved, and signaled to the second scout to briefly report the situation here.

"Don't bother, no one can see you. ”

When the scout heard the strange voice ringing in his ears, he couldn't help but stiffen, and before he could jump away, he found that he had a long knife in front of his neck, and he suddenly felt desperate.

Pressing the scout down from the canopy, Zhao Ning looked at him and said, "Tell me about the situation of your team, where do you want to go, and do you have a joint team?"

The scout hung his head and said, "The team will follow in three or four miles, and we will go to Cypress Liangzi and unite with the other teams there." ”

The rules of the drill are very clear, once a practitioner is captured, he must honestly confess what he knows. Although cultivators here do not die, in actual battles, it is very difficult for captured soldiers to keep their mouths shut.

Under Miki, why not ask for it. Fan Qinglin's kind of tough guy is a very small minority after all.

Zhao Ning was very satisfied with the news of the interrogation, and he was not surprised.

According to the results of the first three drills, these generals will obviously unite for the position of the Grand Governor and first deal with the Zhao clan and their helpers, so before entering the mountain forest, it is reasonable for them to agree on a meeting place with each other.

The Zhao clan and the Wei clan also agreed on the meeting place, the distance between the two sides is relatively close, and it is not difficult to meet, but the position of the Yang clan team entering the war zone is too far, and the other party needs to cross a small half of the war zone to get close to the Zhao clan and Wei's team, which is full of dangers.

The three teams are now the target of public criticism, and such behavior is no different from sending them to death.

Zhao Ning took his team and moved some distance in the direction where the Wu clan came, setting up an ambush in the favorable terrain, intending to wait for the other party to throw himself into the net.

However, they waited for a long time, and they didn't see each other appear, and the distance of less than three miles should have been finished long ago. Zhao Ning made a quick decision and evacuated with the team.

The fact that the other party did not come over means that the situation of the scout's disappearance was discovered in time and the route of travel was urgently changed, so it was not suitable to wait in place at this time.

However, Zhao Ning didn't plan to let go of the other party, the distance between them was already very close, and it was not difficult to bite the other party. Let the team follow behind, Zhao Ning went to find the Wu team first, no matter which direction the other party was heading, he had to find the other party out.

With Jingshui by his side, Zhao Ning is not worried about his own safety, as long as he reacts a little faster when danger comes, and can be alert a little earlier, he can escape from distance.

Wu Jun led the team to run quickly in the forest, his eyes were gloomy.

Not long ago, they marched to a small hill, and according to the position of the team and the mountain, the second scout would signal the team to know that they were still "alive" in a wide field of view on the mountain.

There will be such a briefing every one or two moments, and if there is no clear view, the other party will leave a sign on the road indicating their safety, like an imprint indicating the direction of the procession.

However, the scout did not appear in Shanbao just now, Wu Jun cautiously sent someone to check, and after exceeding the prescribed notification distance, he did not find the safety mark left by the other party.

Wu Jun knew that his scouts were gone.

When the scout was attacked, he didn't even have time to send out the fireworks signal to warn the team, which shows that the other party is definitely not a good person! There are only a handful of teams with this kind of strength in the mountains and forests.

"It's not Zhao Ning or Yang Jiani!" Wu Jun guessed the identity of the other party, according to the prior agreement, the other generals would not attack him, and the gate team would not attack at this time.

His team has already lost two combat powers, and Wu Jun certainly won't choose to fight hard, and it is the best policy to leave the danger zone quickly. He knew very well that if he ran into Zhao Ning and Yang Jiani, his team would not have a chance of winning.

"Speed up!" Wu Jun couldn't help but give another order to the team.

The team of eight people was arranged by him to rush at full speed in the form of a goose marching formation, and the distance between them was very wide, even if they encountered danger, the number of people injured for a time was limited, and the others could decide whether to fight back or flee according to the situation.

Zhao Ning climbed a stone mountain that was not short, and when he saw the Wu team running between the valleys, he sighed with some pity. The Wu team was already frightened, and the speed was too fast for them to catch up.

As a last resort, Zhao Ning had no choice but to give up tracking and leave with the Zhao team. Venture to approach, once they encounter other teams on the way, Zhao Ning and the others will be in danger themselves.

Zhao Ning could touch it by himself, hunt down a few Wu cultivators, and let the other party bleed. But in this way, the Zhao team loses his protection, and if they are bumped into by other teams, they will suffer heavy casualties.

"Cypress beams. ”

Zhao Ning looked to the north, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Giving up chasing and killing the Wu team, Zhao Ning went to meet with Wei Chongshan's team according to the established plan.

On the way, relying on his excellent scout ability, he found three teams, one of which was already a team of twenty people, and Zhao Ning did not move them.

One sect team suffered the bad luck of Liu Xincheng's team and was completely annihilated by Zhao Ning and others, and another sect team was more vigilant, Zhao Ning attacked and killed the opponent's scouts and severely damaged the opponent, but because of the terrain, half of the cultivators on the other side escaped.

When he came to the agreed meeting place, Zhao Ning saw from a distance that on the hillside where they were going, the branches and leaves of several big trees were damaged, and knowing that it was a signal from Wei Wuxian to him, he immediately rushed over with everyone.

After getting closer, Zhao Ning found that the atmosphere was very wrong, and on the other side of the hillside, there was a faint sound of Fu soldiers being stimulated, which was not dense, and there were two rings every three or five sounds, as if someone was confronting and fighting.

Seeing Wei Wuxian in the forest, before Zhao Ning could speak, the other party wiped a handful of dense sweat from his forehead, and said in an anxious voice: "If you don't come again, I'm going to mess up!" ”

Zhao Ning was puzzled, and it wasn't until he followed Wei Wuxian over the ridge that he saw a team of about thirty people in the col ahead, under the cover of trees and rocks, cautiously shooting at the people on several hillsides.

More than a dozen of them had already been grouped together, cut down trees to make thick shields, and seemed to be ready to charge.

Zhao Ning looked at Wei Wuxian in surprise: "Ten people surrounded thirty people, how did you do it?"
