The two hundred and eighteenth palms are old routines
The sun began to turn westward, the setting sun pulled the figure long, the hillside was a little steep, the vegetation on the front was quite sufficient, there were many low trees and shrubs, a group of six people kept in formation, cautiously walking through the hillside, no one spoke, each facing in one direction, to prevent the jackals from sneaking attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Around 6 p.m., Kevin finally stopped under a few large trees. The tree, which is only six or seven meters tall, grows diagonally on the slope of the mountain, and is not considered a big tree in other places, but it is already the largest on this mountain. Kevin touched the trunk, crouched down and touched the earth, then nodded to the group.
Everyone nodded in response, and then they had already taken out their own guys and started digging holes. This is obviously their tacit understanding, and it has been planned for a long time. Only the dark elves were still at a loss, and they were a little hesitant to ask, so they could only stand aside with some embarrassment.
Kevin held the hilt of the sword with one hand and grasped the blade with the other, and found a thick cloth to cushion it on his hand to prevent cuts. He half-knelt on the hillside and slashed hard. Skillful movements, nimble hands and feet, obviously already very experienced. Sain and Xiao Jiu on the side are not bad, but Jack is laborious as a mage, and the sword is also a skill to use as a shovel.
"How long are you going to dig?" Seeing that they didn't mean to stop for a short time, the dark elves finally couldn't help it.
"It could take five to six hours. Kevin replied again and again, and kept in his hands.
"What the hell are you doing?" the dark elf couldn't help but ask again, saying that he had come to fight the gnoll, but when he came here, the gnoll didn't look for it, but he dug a hole inexplicably.
"It's complicated to explain," Kevin didn't answer directly, but only comforted, "Don't worry, I have a lot of experience in this tactic." Basically, there will be no problem. ”
"Rich experience?" the Dark Elf smiled, "Sounds like the words of an old general who has led his troops for decades." ”
"Ahem, it's just more than a week of experience. Kevin replied with a dry smile.
Dark Elf: "......"
"Aren't you afraid of breaking your sword like this?" After a few moments, the dark elf couldn't help but ask again.
"It's okay, we didn't just have a sword. Kevin didn't care.
The dark elves were helpless, seeing that they had dug a hole the size of a man in the blink of an eye, Kevin also stood up, gestured with his finger, and then motioned for the others to continue digging the pit. Kevin himself began to wander around, and the dark elves subconsciously followed, but Kevin squatted down and began to dig the pit again.
"You don't want to dig a tunnel to go into the cave and join it, right?" the dark elf suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the people became excited.
Kevin stopped in surprise, looked at him like an idiot, and then continued to dig the pit.
The dark elves calmed down: "That's right, you don't know the internal structure of the cave, and it's impossible to dig a tunnel to get into. By the way, aren't you afraid of digging up rocks when you dig like this? The back of this mountain is rocky, and there is no guarantee that there will be rock layers on the front, so it doesn't make sense to dig with a sword, right?"
This time Kevin finally spoke: "There are three big trees around here, relatively speaking, the roots of the big trees are well-developed, and if they can grow so big, there shouldn't be too exaggerated rock layers underneath." Although it may not be easy to dig with roots, it should be at our level, and it is not impossible. ”
"What do you want to dig?" the Dark Elf asked again, "Dig a trap?"
"Think so. Kevin replied.
"Alright," the dark elf nodded, "I guess it's some kind of deadly work in between, or you would have told me a long time ago." ”
Kevin just smiled: "We may dig the pit until midnight, and the dark elf friend is a magic archer, so his eyes should be very sharp." Standing guard at night will get rid of you, we can't go into battle immediately after digging for so long, we need to rest. ”
"Okay. The Dark Elves had no objection. At this time, everyone is working, and he can't help, and he doesn't know what standard the pit is dug, so it is also appropriate to stand guard at night.
The sun was setting, and it was already dark. Kevin didn't light a torch and continued to work with a faint starlight. The Torch in the Night is so obvious that the average beast might be scared away, but the Gnoll Man is no ordinary beast.
The dark elves had already climbed a tree, looking around nervously. The night vision ability of the dark elves is definitely the top among all races, and it is basically no problem for him to stand guard.
At about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Kevin and the others finally called it a day and rested. They dug a small cave more than four meters deep, the entrance of the cave is narrow, and there is a path of about two meters, but the interior is spacious, and it is more than enough for a group of six people to hide in the cave. There are also a lot of small pits dug outside the entrance of the cave, which are scattered.
The more the Dark Elves looked, the more confused they became, feeling less like they were digging traps and more like they were building fortifications. But in the wilderness, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I hide inside, once I am surrounded, isn't it looking for death? The dark elf can't figure it out, but he is already standing guard in the tree at this time, and it is inconvenient to ask more, and it is estimated that he will not get an answer if he asks.
After Kevin and the others finished digging the pit, they were all covered in mud, and fatigue was inevitable. Don't talk nonsense, each find a place in the cave to lie down and rest. Mosquitoes are inevitable, so you can only cover your face with a cloth.
Suddenly, a female voice came from the darkness of the night, her voice was miserable and intermittent, and it seemed to be not far away. This is in a foreign place, and when I hear it suddenly in the middle of the night, I can't help but feel creepy. Everyone immediately opened their eyes and listened intently, but they could not understand what the voice was saying, it seemed to be another language.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Kevin, and Kevin stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down and not move, and go out of the cave by himself. On closer inspection, the voice seemed to be coming from the left.
There was a shaking in the tree, and the dark elf jumped down and whispered to Kevin, "Did you hear that too? ”
Kevin nodded, and subconsciously looked around again: "If you don't understand, don't worry about her." ”
The dark elf nodded, and couldn't help but ask again, "You say, could it be some kind of ghost or something?"
"It's not impossible, just don't mess with it. Kevin replied.
Suddenly, the female voice's language changed and became the imperial Chinese, but now Kevin understood. She said, "Help me...... Who's going to save me...... I'm in so much pain...... Save ......"
Even Kevin's heart beat two beats faster, but he still remained calm on the surface. Although the dark elves could not understand the imperial Chinese, the obvious language changes could be detected, and they couldn't help but ask Kevin: "It seems to be the imperial Chinese?
Kevin nodded.
"What did she say?" the dark elves nervous. In the dark night, the voice of "who will save my ......" sounded again, judging from the intermittent tone and severity, it should be a real person speaking, not like a pre-recorded conch sound. But the atmosphere is too tense at the moment, and the dark elves have to stand guard all night, and Kevin is not going to tell the truth.
"Oh, she said that her boss ran away with her sister-in-law and owed 350 million. She's crying right now. Kevin smiled lightly.
Dark Elf: "......"
"Don't worry too much, just stand up and I'll go to sleep." Kevin calmly returned to the cave, and when he got to the cave, Kevin still said the same thing. Although everyone obviously didn't believe it, no one had any objections at this time, and they all lay down to rest.
The female voice in the dark screamed for a while, and seemed to be tired at last, and there was no sound. But everyone was nervous, and they couldn't sleep for a short time, and they tossed and turned, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that they finally fell into a daze for a while.
In the early morning, insects chirp and birds chirp, and a breath of morning dew comes. Everyone also woke up one after another, rubbing their arms and necks, their faces were tired, and it was obvious that they didn't sleep very well last night.
The dark elf jumped down from the tree and burrowed into the hole to greet everyone, "Nothing happened last night, and the voice hasn't been heard since. ”
"What the hell did she say last night?" Sain asked Kevin, apparently not believing what Kevin said last night.
"It means to shout for help. Kevin also replied seriously, "I think the atmosphere is too tense, so let's be funny." ”
Everyone frowned: "You're not funny at all!"
As he spoke, the female voice sounded again: "Who will save me...... Who's going to save me......"
Everyone couldn't help but come out of the cave en masse, and it was already dawn at this time, and their fear suddenly subsided, and they couldn't see anything when they looked for prestige. "Could anyone really need help?" Xiao Jiu speculated.
"Impossible!" Kevin flatly refused, "This is the territory of the gnolls, and if she shouts like this, the gnolls should have been killed a long time ago." It is simply impossible to delay for so long. ”
"Is that a real ghost? the kind that can be seen during the day. Sain guessed.
"If such a strong ghost can't be provoked by the gnolls, we can't afford to provoke it. Kevin replied, "I have an idea, you say we dug such a big hole under their noses, they don't know at all?"
"Not necessarily, right?" Sain disagreed, "If they had known, why didn't they call earlier?"
"The strength of the Terrans is the most difficult to judge from appearance," Kevin replied, "I guess they have also suffered some losses, and they don't dare to act rashly when they see us behaving strangely." But this female voice is really a little unreasonable. Could it be that it was such a coincidence that she was injured as soon as we came, and the jackals couldn't hear it after shouting for most of the night, but we heard it?"
"What do you mean...... Are they a group?" The Dark Elf was stunned, "Most people will go over and check when they hear the sound, and the gnolls are setting a trap over there?"
Kevin nodded: "It's a pity that the birds were not scouted, otherwise it would be basically clear from the sky." ”
"Not necessarily," Jack interjected suddenly, "there are some ambushes underground, and the birds can't see them." ”
"So what now?" the group returned to square one.
Kevin pondered for a moment, then replied in a loud voice, "Hey, where are you, I'll save you!"
Everyone's faces changed slightly, but they subconsciously grabbed their weapons. And the female voice over there heard it, obviously excited: "I'm here, come and save me!"
"Come here, I'll be waiting for you here. Kevin replied.
"Come here, I've got a leg injury and can't walk. The woman's voice was a little grumbling.
"Oh, that's right," Kevin understood, "then crawl over with your hands." ”
Opposite: "......"
After another moment, the female voice came again: "My hand is also injured, can't you come over?"
"Hurt your hand, too?" Kevin laughed, "Then we'll save you when we dig through the mountain and get rid of the gnolls." ”
After saying this, there was no sound on the other side. Everyone subconsciously looked at Kevin, both of them spoke in imperial Chinese, and they couldn't understand it when they were present, and they needed Kevin's explanation. Kevin just waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go into the cave and stay." The gnolls should be coming soon, if they don't, unless they move their family. ”
Everyone didn't say anything, and they rushed in. The dark elf had already yawned, apparently he hadn't slept all night, this standing guard was not more than usual, and his spirit had to be highly concentrated, so he was particularly tired at this time.
"Hey, why are they moving their family?" the dark elves asked even if they were tired.
Kevin told the truth: "I'm mainly luring the gnolls over for a decisive battle, it doesn't matter what you say. If they don't come, then I'll hollow out the mountain. ”
"Oh," the dark elf nodded, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat when he suddenly reacted, "What?
"Nope. Kevin comforted, "Don't worry, I'm familiar with this tactic. It's okay!"
"Yes, you have a week's experience in leading troops, right?" the dark elves couldn't help but sarcastically, "You have no way to retreat here, once the gnolls surround you, it's over!"
Kevin smiled, "I'm in a much more dangerous situation, and it's nothing at the moment. Everyone's attention, the footsteps have come!"
The dark elves lay on the ground with a long sigh, while the others took up their weapons and stood for action. Kevin held a sword and shield and stood at the entrance of the cave, with Sain, Jack, and Little Nine behind him, looking completely devoid of despair. The dark elves couldn't help but sit up in surprise, could it really be some kind of mysterious tactic?
"Whew!" a howl came from outside the cave, and a large group of gnolls surrounded the place at some point. Fierce faces, sturdy chains, preliminary estimates of at least sixty or seventy. There was also a particularly tall and strong jackal in the middle, and the flail in his hand was also different, and three hammers hung from a wooden handle, which seemed to be very sharp.
There was no dialogue, no superfluous movements, Kevin stood at the entrance of the cave, and the jackals you stare at me, and I glared at you, just like this for a moment, the leader suddenly waved the chain flail, and all the gnolls immediately pounced together.
His nose was filled with the fishy smell of the beast, his ears were full of the roar of the jackal, and the chain flail in his hand smashed unceremoniously. Kevin took two steps back, looking a little frightened, but this retreat gave way to a narrow path at the entrance of the cave.
The gnolls are far taller than the human race, but this hole was dug by Kevin and them according to the height of several of them, and the gnolls can only come in one by one, but they also have to bend over and hook their heads, and it is very inconvenient to stretch their hands and legs. In particular, the flail is a soft weapon, and it is difficult to exert its shaking power when the hole is narrow, and it is easy to smash into the wall and bounce back. Compared with the sword, it is a straight thorn, but the shield is a real block.
With a bang, Kevin blocked the hammer head with a shield, and stabbed with his right hand, the other party was not in a hurry, and the thigh opened a knife, and blood burst out. But the gnolls are so ferocious that a small injury can only anger the other party, and he even throws away the flail and raises his hands to grab Kevin's shield.
Sain, who was behind Kevin, immediately passed under Kevin's armpit with a sword and hit the opponent in the lower abdomen. Xiao Jiu picked up the crossbow arrow, and when he saw the gap, he shot several arrows in a row. Kevin slashed his sword against his shield, slicing off all the gnoll's fingers in an instant. Nowadays, the equipment of Kevin and others is not an ordinary product, and what they brought out in China may not be magic equipment, but in terms of basic indicators such as sharpness and strength, toughness, etc., it is almost the highest level in China.
"Everyone is optimistic, the flail can be used around the shield to hit the head, but the space here is small, and it is not easy for the other party to play it. But even so, everyone should be careful for a while, and keep an eye on the hammer when holding the shield. Kevin explained as he fought.
"Don't worry, it's all a routine, I'm quite familiar with it. Kevin even had a chance to glance back at the Dark Elf, "You go to sleep, and then stand guard at night." ”
Dark Elf: "......"
