93. Escape from danger
A gust of wind blew, and a few fallen leaves fell slowly.
The second squad of soldiers in the glade did not have time to dispose of the corpses of the twelve hoplite soldiers, so they had to temporarily find some huge banana leaves to cover their faces, and then they packed up and quickly evacuated from the location of the third sentry.
Surdak led the second team back along the mountain road, and the dense forest, which was originally full of insects and birds, turned out to be unusually quiet, and the warriors advanced along the mountain road, they carefully guarded the surroundings, trying to quickly pass through the frighteningly quiet mountain range.
When he was about to reach the ridge, He Boqiang felt that his heart was beating faster for no reason.
He stopped, looked at the jungle on the left and right, and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Surdak didn't notice He Boqiang stopped, he walked at the front of the group, and in order to be able to pass the mountain as soon as possible, he ordered all the soldiers of the squad to march quickly.
Seventy or eighty meters further on is the highest point of this ridge, from which you can clearly see the camp in the distance.
Surdak felt a hand on his shoulder.
He turned his head to look, only to realize that it was He Boqiang catching up from behind.
Seeing the serious expression on He Boqiang's face, Surdak realized that there was a situation and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask all the fighters of the second squad to stop.
"Little Dark, what's wrong?"
He Boqiang reached out and patted the linen bag hanging from Surdak's waist, and then pointed to the road ahead.
The linen bag around Surdak's waist contained a demon's head, and when he saw He Boqiang's actions, he thought for a while before he understood what He Boqiang wanted to express:
"You're saying you can't go any further, there are demons in ambush ahead?"
He Boqiang nodded, his face a little serious.
Surdak looked at the mountain in front of him with some hesitation, as long as he climbed the mountain, he actually entered the line of sight of the camp watchtower.
Whether to rush over with all the soldiers of the second squad in one go, or to temporarily change the plan and take the second squad around this mountain, Surdak had a difficult choice.
There is a passable pass ahead, and if you give up passing through this pass and want to return to the camp, you will have to walk at least a dozen kilometers more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, and no one knows what kind of danger is hidden on these ten kilometers of mountain roads.
The soldiers of the second squad did not interject, and everyone gathered around Surdak, quietly waiting for him to make a decision.
The fighters gave Surdak the utmost trust.
For Surdak, this trust is not only a privilege, but also a great responsibility.
There was silence in the dense forest ahead, and the bearded Kegel also smelled a hint of danger, and he carried a small round shield behind him, which was already in his hand at this moment.
"Let's go around from the left......"
Surdak thought about it for a while, and finally decided that regardless of whether there was an ambush or not in front of them, everyone took a detour.
There were no roads on either side of the ridge, and they were overgrown with grass and bushes.
The team plunged into the bushes beside the path and forced their boots to open a path.
The woodland is covered with thorns and vines. To pass through this sea buckthorn bush, the first warrior needs to cut the vines that block the way with a wood knife, and sometimes this can drive away the poisonous snakes hiding in the grass.
The team walked nearly two kilometers west along the northern slope of the mountain, and the other side of the mountain was a deep valley that could not be climbed, and the camp was on a hillside opposite the deep valley.
Infantry soldiers are not suitable for long journeys due to their heavy armor, and it is difficult to walk among the grassy bushes without cutting off some of the vines that grow horizontally.
There are many mosquitoes in the weeds, and some small black shell insects fall on the armor and burrow into the clothes through the gaps in the armor, which is painful and itchy.
He Boqiang wore a piece of Warcraft leather armor, which showed a huge advantage at this time, perhaps because there were some remnants of Warcraft on the leather armor before his death, these small insects did not dare to approach He Boqiang at all, no matter where he went, those flying insects would 'buzz' and scatter around.
The second squad walked up the higher hill beam, and Surdak ordered the second squad to rest in place, and the guard post fell on Augustus' head.
Augustus jumped onto a boulder and looked at the pass behind him hidden in the thick of trees, and didn't feel anything at first.
But when he looked at it two more times, his jaw dropped in shock.
A group of evil spirits poured out of the dense forest of the pass and ran through the mountains and trees.
They are tall, and when they walk through the dense forest, the gap in the woods can sometimes reveal the purple-red body of the evil ghost, and a group of green-billed chickadees in that mountain range fly up from the woods and fly overwhelmingly to the opposite mountain forest, they should have been frightened by the evil spirits and flew away, and I don't know how many evil ghosts are hidden in that woodland, and when I passed by there before, I didn't find any abnormality.
Augustus pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "My district...... They were really ambushed at the pass, but luckily we didn't go over, otherwise we would have been in big trouble. ”
The bearded Cagle said to Augustus, who was standing high on the boulder:
"Hurry up, they seem to be looking for us, don't let them see it."
Surdak looked at the lush bushes around him, and after a long time, he frowned and said:
"There are no cinnamon trees around here, so it's hard to hide the smell of us, and we've made a path through the grass, which we expect to be spotted soon, and they're much faster than we are, and it won't take long to touch them, so we'll have to get out of here quickly."
When the second squad heard Surdak say this, they immediately gathered from the forest.
The bearded Cagle walked out of the group and said to Surdak, "Please wait a minute, captain, I plan to set a trap here as a small surprise for them......
After saying that, he cut two vines from the woodland, dragged the vines out, and began to lay out the soil trap according to the existing environment.
Surdak frowned, but did not say anything to stop it, but urged the bearded Cagle: "Hurry up if you want to do it, we don't have much time!" ”
Seeing that Surdak agreed, the bearded Cagle patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry! Captain. ”
……
Not long after the second team left the mountain, a team of demons chased after them along the path that the second team had trodden, and they furiously ploughed through the grass with the traces of seven walks.
The pace of each step was large, and it looked a little angry.
The demon in the leader of the team carried a giant axe with barbs in his hand, and the black devil pattern on his body was obviously much more than that of other evil spirits.
As soon as he got out of the barren meadow, the demon saw an unburned bonfire in the woods, and he strode towards it, not paying the slightest attention to a vine under his feet, and tripped on it, according to the experience of the demons, he could tear off these pesky vines with brute force, and he did the same.
It's just that the vine doesn't seem to have the slightest strength, and as soon as its foot touches the vine, the vine is like a snake, and it quickly withdraws away......
Before the evil ghost could react, it felt a whirlwind of the heavens, its feet were actually entangled in vines, and its entire body fell down with a huge pulling force, and the evil ghost was hung in the air with its head down......
The demons that followed it looked at the scene in front of them with some dumbfounded......
