Chapter 143: Cave Attack and Defense
Natsuno's speculation was correct, about five miles further along the direction in which the mountain ghost chief fled before his death, there was a huge rock wall hundreds of meters long, and the rock wall was full of caves, and at the entrance of the largest cave, there were a large number of mountain ghost footprints and feces.
After Xia Ye waited for half an hour, a scout came out of it.
"Inside is a rugged cave, very deep, very dark, and there are many forks in the road!"
The scout took a sip of water, she couldn't move forward any further, not to mention that the torches were not well prepared, there were too many forks, and she would get lost.
"What should I do?"
The higher-ups looked at Natsuno.
"I want to attack!"
Xia Ye looked directly at Elena and the others without showing weakness: "The mountain ghost tribe we destroyed is obviously a bait, the real mountain ghost elite is in this cave, if you don't take advantage of them before they notice it, you will have to face their constant attacks in the future." ”
"I agree!"
Although she didn't like Natsuno, Shipoya agreed with this opinion, and now she stopped, everything she had done before was meaningless.
Don't look at these women, but they are very decisive, and in less than three minutes, everyone is unanimous and decides to continue the attack.
The female warriors dispersed, preparing torches.
"You two stay here!"
Xia Ye looked at Wook and Rem, but unfortunately the two little ones didn't appreciate it at all and shook their heads into rattles.
"We are also the warriors of Chaoge, and we must contribute to the tribe!"
Who knows what danger will be in the cave, so she wants to stay with her big brother and do her best to protect him.
"Help!"
"Help!"
The poison-tongued parrot is noisy.
"I can light!"
There was a crackle in front of Rem's forehead, and several arcs of lightning flashed, turning into a lightning ball the size of an apple, emitting a blue light that could illuminate a radius of more than thirty meters.
"What's wrong with the girl, no worse than you guys!"
Elivier was not happy to see Xia Ye's attitude.
"Okay!"
Xia Ye compromised, if Elivi lived in the previous era, she would definitely be an extreme feminist and could make any man cry.
Elena meant to let Natsuno go last, but she was refused.
"I'll go to the second echelon!"
It's not that Xia Ye doesn't dare to go to the first echelon, but because the first echelon is all female warriors who are good at tracking and hiding, and they want to open the way as a vanguard.
"It's quite bold!"
Watching Xia Ye enter the cave with the two little tails of Woad and Rem, Elivi pursed her lips, and the other party's move won her favor a little.
At least, Natsuno wasn't a death-scared ghost.
As we went deeper, the light in the cave became darker and darker, and the torches coated with pine resin beeped and burned, giving off a strange smell.
Tick tock!
On the walls of the cave, there are droplets of water dripping, making the temperature cold.
The air was humid, Natsuno inhaled his lungs, and there was a cold feeling, as if he had swallowed ice cream, he looked at the stone stalactites around him, and let his breath go very lightly.
Leaning on the lightning ball in front of Rem's forehead, you can see that in the cave, the strange rocks are craggy, and the stone stalactites are hanging upside down like a mountain, densely packed, and can be seen everywhere.
Fortunately, Xia Ye didn't have a phobia of denseness, otherwise he would have goosebumps.
An hour after entering the cave, the team stopped, not really going far, but the road was too difficult.
If this was placed in Xia Ye's college days, such a strange cave would definitely become a 5A-level tourist attraction, but now Xia Ye is eager to have a bunch of explosives to raze it to the ground.
"There is a good fork in the road ahead, and there are traces left by mountain ghosts!"
The scout told him, how to go, this kind of decision-making needs to be left to the big chief.
Natsuno asked the others to stand by and walked to the front by himself, removing the blindfold from his left eye to concentrate and use the Eye of Juggernaut.
The rock wall in the cave immediately became transparent, and Xia Ye's gaze penetrated through the past without obstruction, stretching farther and farther.
Jiaduo held the sword, guarded by the side, occasionally skimmed Xia Ye's eyes, full of curiosity and admiration, his eyes were really beautiful, like the stars condensing after falling, and the blue halo on the pupils added a touch of mystery and gorgeousness.
In the eyes of the Juggernaut, some details are unmistakable, the second passage on the left, although not the widest, and the entrance is small, but the interior is large, and the most new traces have been left, which indicates that the number of people passing through is also the largest.
What does the lack of traces next to Xia Ye think that it should be the mountain ghost prophet who sent someone to set up a maze and deceive the opponent.
"Go this way!"
Xia Ye put on the blindfold, he killed people and licked his bag during this time, and captured a lot of building cores, after absorbing it, the Eye of Domination was nourished, and now as long as it is not used frequently every few minutes, it basically does not hurt and bleed.
"Wait, I need a reason!"
Seeing that her sisters were about to move forward, Elivi asked.
"Elivia!"
Jiaduo scolded: "When can you change your temper?"
"I'm here for everyone's safety, and in my opinion, the passage on the right should be the right route!"
Elivia wasn't targeting Natsuno, but because of this random guessing, she preferred to trust her instincts.
"That's a dead end, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself!"
Natsuno urges the scouts to pull out, the torches are limited in preparation, and some results must be obtained before they are burned out.
"How do you know?"
Elivier frowned.
"Elivia, pay attention to your attitude, everyone has secrets, do you want everyone to tell them?"
Jiaduo scolded.
"Cousin, you have changed, you weren't like this before, you actually scolded me repeatedly for a man?"
Elivia felt sad.
This sentence, coupled with her cousin's expression, blocked all the words behind Jiaduo in her throat, yes, since she was a child, Elivi has admired herself very much, and she has always been a little heel, always chasing herself.
"If my team suffers battle damage because of my command mistakes, I am willing to accept your punishment!"
After Xia Ye finished speaking, he became impatient: "Hurry up!"
This time, Natsuno was no longer in a consultative tone, but an order.
The female warriors immediately complied.
The corps continued to advance, and half an hour passed, and there was still an endless tunnel ahead.
"Could it be a mistake?"
"Do you want to turn back?"
"But there are indeed traces of mountain ghosts on the ground, so let's go further?"
The female warrior discussed in a low voice.
Natsuno heard those conversations, but he didn't have any anxious looks, and every ten minutes, he used the Eye of Juggernaut to survey the terrain.
Just the third time, through those mountain rock walls, he saw a lot of light clusters, which made his nerves tense, and after he was more concentrated, the light clusters in front of him became clear, and the rays of light formed a pattern!
Xia Ye has experience and knows that the light is caused by the flow of vitality, and each pattern is a mountain ghost, looking at the size of the pattern and the intensity of the light, these are definitely the most elite mountain ghosts.
"Jiaduo, let the corps stop!"
Xia Ye didn't know if the mountain ghost could hear his voice, so he didn't dare to take the risk, but called Jiaduo, squatted down, pulled out the survival straight knife, and wrote words to communicate.
"There are about more than 200 mountain ghosts in ambush, ready to copy our back road!"
Jiaduo frowned, and didn't ask Xia Ye why he knew about these things, but thought about how to solve it.
"Why did you stop?"
Seeing that the team was not moving, Elivi hurried over to take a look and ask the reason, she thought that Xia Ye regretted it and was about to change her mind.
"Let the five squads shorten the alert distance between each other, and at the same time tell Shiboya to let the reserves come up, and keep an eye on the rear, don't be sneak attacked!"
Xia Ye responded: "There are mountain ghosts in ambush!"
With the proud character of the female warriors, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw, so everyone continues to move forward, but they have already been notified, telling everyone that there is a mountain ghost ambush, and they must be vigilant, but don't reveal too much information on their expressions.
"What are you going to do?"
Jiaduo asked in a low voice.
"Find a suitable area, spread out the formation, fight a tough battle with the mountain ghosts, and annihilate this group of enemies first!"
The so-called suitable terrain is the area where the numerical advantage of female warriors can be brought into play, at least it should be empty.
With the Eye of Domination, it didn't take long for Xia Ye to select a shuttle-shaped area, although it was not very ideal, but further on, there was no such area, and if it dragged on, Xia Ye was worried that the mountain ghosts would attack at any time.
"Let's eat and drink, and make it look like we're resting in place!"
After Xia Ye finished ordering, he called Jiaduo over: "Find twenty female warriors who can fight, follow me, and go to a sneak attack!"
If it were someone else, in this kind of cave tunnel like a spider's web, he would never dare to walk around like this, but Xia Ye is different, as soon as his eyes of domination are opened, it is absolutely impossible to get lost.
The centaurs were soon ready.
Xia Ye led the team, first returned the same way, made it look like he was leaving, and after walking more than a hundred meters, he quietly ordered Jiaduo a few words.
"Oh, I'm so hungry, I want to eat!"
Xia Ye complained, took out a large piece of ham, and took a bite, and at this moment, Jiaduo pulled out the javelin and threw it.
Burst!
On a rock wall more than 50 meters away, a mountain ghost who was shot through the head fell down.
This is the scout of the mountain ghosts, who are responsible for keeping an eye on their prey.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Xia Ye urged, took the lead, rushed into a tunnel, did not detour, and went straight to the group of mountain ghosts.
In order not to be discovered by the enemy, these more than 200 mountain ghosts did not dare to move around, but shrank in a large karst cave, resting with their eyes closed, and recuperating for the big battle later.
"Rem, can you control the intensity of the electric shock, just corona, not kill?"
Looking at those mountain ghosts with red hair, Xia Ye is too coveted, they should be mountain ghosts that have evolved for several generations, compared to the common ones, the lowest is one meter nine, and the arms are long, and the feet hang down to the knees, just like gibbons, which makes them more adept at climbing, and their bodies are also very strong, and you can see obvious muscles.
Fangs, sharp claws, all exude a hideous aura.
"Yes!"
Rem nodded, followed Xia Ye quietly hidden behind a large rock, and stretched out her right hand.
Pop!
The arc flickered, quickly converging into a pineapple-sized ball of lightning in the palm of your hand.
There is a mountain ghost who is not asleep, and his hearing is very sensitive, and he opened his eyes with a snap.
