As soon as it was dawn, the sleeping soldiers of the second squad were called up by Surdak to start a new day's reconnaissance mission.

The demons on Moyun Ridge probably wanted to preserve their strength, and after discovering the traces of the Imperial warriors at the foot of the mountain, the demons did not carry out a large-scale search operation, and they even shrank the area of their daily patrol to avoid encountering the Scout Team of the Grimm Empire.

Apparently, the demons are planning to build a permanent defensive stronghold in the Gandar Mountains of Handanar County in order to contain the Imperial forces in the woodyard area.

The demons who enter the Warsaw plane through the gate of demons have a certain period of weakness, they are affected by the power of the laws of this plane, and most of the body's strength will be suppressed to a certain extent after entering the plane, and the skin of the body will be completely corroded by the air that is highly poisonous to the demons in the Warsaw plane, and the demons need a long adaptation period in this plane.

This is probably the main reason why the demons on Moyun Ridge are reluctant to clash with the Imperial army immediately.

After consuming two precious sacrifices, Surdak received the 'Body of Blessing' and the 'Shield of Blessing' during a simple sacrifice ceremony.

As a result, Surdak, who has great power, prepares to take the initiative to trouble the demons in the woods.

He now especially wanted to lead the second squad out of the camp to hunt down the lone demon warriors on the patrol.

Surdak didn't even have the patience to wait until dawn, he woke up all the sleeping warriors in the tent, and after a brief breakfast, he left the makeshift camp and, disguised as cinnamon branches, began to search for the demon patrol in the precinct.

Yesterday's battle with the demons gave great confidence to the soldiers of the second squad, who waded through the dew-stained meadows, not caring that the dew wet their trouser legs, everyone was full of energy, no one talked along the way, and the silence was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps and the friction of blades of grass could be heard.

The second team came to the wreckage of the mountain beast first, and sure enough, the huge room-like skeleton of the mountain beast's chest had been trampled into pieces by the evil spirits, and the sentry branch inserted in the skeleton was also destroyed.

……

Two hours later.

In a valley at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.

Hiding in a backwater pool, both with a bunch of aquatic grass on their heads, the two fighters lurked in the muddy water like a bunch of swamp zombies, calmly watching a patrol of seven demons pass by the pool.

There was a slight strange sound, as if a stone had fallen into a pool of stagnant water.

'Knock' sound,

It wasn't too loud, but the demon at the back just heard it.

He paused consciously.

The demons in the front row of the patrol also stopped, staring coldly at the last ghost, who cautiously walked to the waterhole, but found nothing suspicious, and the ghost patrol continued on.

After a few steps, there was another strange noise, and the last demon stopped again.

The demons who had walked in front stopped and returned to the backwater pool with a kind of doubt,

Suddenly, a swamp frog jumped on the other side of the waterhole and jumped into the bottomless waterhole, making a soft 'plop' sound.

The demons ignored the last demon behind them and strode forward.

The demons who had fallen behind looked at the water with some suspicion, paused for a moment, and quickly followed the patrol.

Augustus, who was hiding in a backwater pool, blew away the duckweed floating in front of his face, and was about to climb ashore from the backwater pool, but was gently pulled by the beard next to him.

The grumpy Augustus was an orthodox academic warrior, while the bearded Cagle was a half-ranger before his military service, having participated in wild safaris organized by a lesser-known local adventure group.

The bearded Cagle grabbed Augustus and did not let him climb up to the backwater pool at once, and after a few moments the chaotic footsteps resounded, and the demon patrol actually trotted all the way back from the front, and made a round around the backwater pool, and then left without finding anything.

Augustus exhaled softly.

Just now, an evil spirit stood in front of him, and if the evil spirit took another half step forward, it could almost step on his face.

The bearded Cagle rose from the backwater, gasping for breath as muddy water flowed from his body.

He reached out and pulled Augustus up from the backwater pool and said, "Let's keep up with ......"

……

Among the leafy trees, Garcia the Red Sock was lying on a horizontal branch, holding a tied white stork in his arms, and quietly watched the ghost patrol pass under the tree.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath.

As the demons passed under the tree, he even held his breath and felt his chest beat like a drum.

Red Socks even wanted to hold his heart tightly if he could, so that it wouldn't make such a violent heartbeat, but he couldn't control himself.

Finally, when all the demon patrols passed under the trees, he actually took out an alloy bow as if he were dead, aimed at the last demon of the demon patrol and pulled the bowstring.

A faint hint of murder caused the demon to stop alertly, and turn its head to look at the tree where Garcia was hiding......

The red sock then shot down a pear from the tree, and the arrow flew away without a trace, and the emerald green pear fell from the height and fell on the solid ground, splashing juice with a 'pop'.

The demons who are at the back are always in trouble, which has caused extreme dissatisfaction among the other demons in the team.

At this moment, a pear fell from the tree and shattered, and the demons in front of it looked at him mockingly.

The demon squad ignored the demons left behind and continued on their way.

The demon was hesitating to go back and check it out, but he noticed that the tree continued to shake violently twice, and he wanted to greet his comrades in the patrol, but after a moment of hesitation, he held back, and walked back step by step.

At this time, a call was heard from the far side of the demon patrol, and the evil ghost who fell behind immediately responded.

It pointed to the big tree in question......

A white stork fluttered out of the bushes and plunged into the blue sky, where it was gone.

The demons of the Demon Patrol finally lost the last of their patience and strode forward.

The demon who had fallen behind hurriedly tried to follow, only to find that the tree was still shaking.

…… So, it stopped in confusion, staring at the treetops with blood-red eyes.

The red socks lie on the branches of the tree.

At this moment, under the lifeless gaze of that evil ghost, his bladder was filled with a strong feeling of urine.

……

Surdak and He Boqiang hid in a col with the rest of the soldiers of the second squad.

There was a bush here, which happened to be the best place to hide, but it was necessary to lie completely on the ground, and the damp earth had a faint smell of decay.

Mixed with the slightly sour fragrance of blueberry trees, Surdak even thought of the forest in the mountains behind the village of Wall, and the beautiful girl who loved to pick blueberries, her sweet lips were as blue and clear as the lake......

"Little Dack, I'm always a little worried, do you think they can get the job done?"

Surdak shook his head, got rid of the distractions in his heart and asked He Boqiang beside him.

He Boqiang nodded without hesitation.

Seeing He Boqiang's affirmation, the inexplicable irritability in Surdak's heart calmed down suddenly, and he turned his head and asked He Boqiang: "You trust them so much?" ”

He Boqiang wanted to answer, but saw a figure holding a tree vine swinging quickly, and the figure was clearly followed by an angry demon......

He Boqiang pointed to the woodland in front of him, and Surdak was in high spirits and shouted in a low voice in a full voice:

"Hey, that's really it...... Attention, everyone, get ready to fight! ”
