Qin Feng frowned, the matter seemed to be very serious, this beast was so rampant, it dared to sneak into the edge of the camp of three thousand people to attack the sergeant, and he didn't know what kind of big beast it was.

Two-legged beasts, monsters? Or a youkai?

After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng asked, "Yi, did you set up a sentry last night?" ”

Huang Yi replied: "It's arranged, the open whistle and the dark whistle are arranged!" ”

"Has any sentry been attacked or missing?" Qin Feng asked.

Huang Yi shook his head: "No, none of the sentry posts were injured, the direction of the deployment of the sentry posts is in the southeast and west directions, only there are no sentry posts in the north, but it is precisely the soldiers here who have been attacked!" ”

Nima's, could it be that this beast knows that there are sentinels in the other three directions, but there are no sentinels here, so he chose this direction to attack?

If that's the case, the beast is smart enough!

"Go, send some people to search the neighborhood, especially along these footprints, and see if you can find any clues!" Qin Feng thought for a while and then ordered.

"Yes!" A tun commander with a hundred and ten men fanned out in the direction of the beast's footprints and began to search in the distance.

Qin Feng turned his head to look at Yang Hong: "Sir, may this beast be a bear?" ”

Yang Hong squatted down again and studied it, shook his head and said: "No, when we followed Yuan Gong to Huainan in the past, someone dedicated a bear, and Yuan Gong also ordered the cook to cook bear paws for us to eat, I have seen bear paws, and we must not leave such footprints!" ”

Qin Feng fell into deep thought again.

Soon there was an exclamation from the depths of the woods, Qin Feng and the others glanced at each other, and he immediately shouted, "Go and see what happened!" ”

Before anyone could run to check, one of the soldiers who participated in the search ran over to report: "Captain Qiyu, I found tattered bloody armor over there, as well as a lot of broken bones!" ”

Qin Feng immediately rushed to the front, and Yang Hong and the others also followed.

When they arrived at the ground, there were already many soldiers involved in the search around, and when they learned that Qin Feng was coming, everyone got out of the way.

Qin Feng walked around and took a look, only to see a lot of bloody broken bones scattered under a big tree, as well as a set of tattered armor covered with tooth holes.

He walked over and picked up the tattered armor, and saw that many of the nails on the armor had been pierced, and this kind of armor leaves were made of bamboo slices soaked in tung oil, and they were so strong that they were bitten through by wild beasts.

He carried his armor to Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others to see, and Yang Hong and the others all changed their faces after seeing it.

"Yi, go and lead people to search again, the missing person who picked wild vegetables should have also been eaten by this beast, it must not be far from here!" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Huang Yi roared and raised his hand to wave, "All the soldiers come with me!" ”

Sure enough, after careful searching, a pair of tattered armor was found in the northwest direction less than three hundred meters away from here, which had been destroyed to the point of being inhuman.

Looking at the bloody broken bones and tattered armor all over the ground in front of them, the faces of Qin Feng, Yang Hong and the others were not good-looking, and they even showed a look of worry.

At this time, Yan Xiang said: "Duwei, do you remember yesterday afternoon when you said that you couldn't see a single creature along the way?" I suspect that it is because there is such a beast here, and dozens of miles of creatures in this area have been eaten by it, so it attacks the soldiers in the army! ”

Qin Feng immediately ordered: "Yi, divide the team into eight groups, search in eight directions, see if you can find the beast's lair, let all the soldiers be careful, no one is allowed to leave the team alone, even if you go to the toilet, you have to have at least two people together, each of them search for twenty miles ahead, if you find it, report it immediately, if you still don't find the beast's nest after searching for twenty miles, return immediately!" ”

"Yes!" After Huang Yi agreed, he immediately divided the team of 200 people into eight groups, a group of 15 people, and after explaining the various precautions, he asked them to set off in different directions.

Here, when Qin Feng returned to the camp, he ordered that no one should leave the camp at will, and the chief should take care of his soldiers, and no one should act alone, even if it was in the camp, whether it was night or daytime, the two of them had to go to the pit together.

After noon, the searchers sent out returned one after another, reporting that they had not found anything, which made Qin Feng and the others feel unsteady no matter what.

In the evening, Qin Feng called Huang Yi, Jun Song, Lu Sheng, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others over to discuss.

"Tonight, the troops of the two songs will be on duty in turn, and everyone will not leave their weapons, and if something happens, they can go into battle at any time! Also, remove the outposts around the camp and deploy them on all sides! Juniper, at this time you are in charge! ”

"No!" Juniper agreed.

Qin Feng said to Lu Sheng again: "Sheng, Yang Changshi and Yan Zhubo are both weak people, and there is no one to serve around, you selected eight people from the army and assigned four soldiers to each of them, not only to serve their food and daily life, but also to protect their safety!" ”

Lu Sheng promised: "Obey!" ”

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang hurriedly got up and saluted to thank Qin Feng for his care for his subordinates.

The night was uneventful, and the wind was calm.

The next morning, Juniper came to report: "Captain, there was no loss of personnel in the camp last night, and the outposts were safe and sound!" ”

Qin Feng nodded, but he did not relax his vigilance in his heart, he ordered: "Order all the soldiers to go north in half an hour!" ”

"No!"

Twenty miles away, three Jiangdong Army scouts stopped under a large tree.

"What's the length, I've been in the mountains for a few days, how do you feel like those mountain bandits are taking us around in circles in the mountains in the past two days? Didn't they find out that they were being tracked, so they deliberately took me around in the mountains, right? A scout said.

Shi Chang looked up at the surrounding sky trees and the dense thorn bushes nearby, he shook his head: "I don't know, I have never been here before, so it is better to be careful, and I would rather distance myself from those bandits than rush in!" ”

Another scout said, "Yes, these bandits are so cunning and vicious that they have set up all kinds of traps and traps along the way, causing us to lose seven people, and seven brothers are gone, these damn bandits!" ”

After the three of them sat under the tree and ate some dry food, Shi Chang took a sip of water, "Let's go, don't be dragged too far!" ”

The other two immediately got up and followed behind Shi Chang, and the three of them carefully checked their surroundings while following the tracks left by Qin Feng's team when they marched.

After walking for a short time, a branch slowly fell from the nearby tree, and when the last scout passed by, he suddenly caught the branch around his neck, and he tried to break free with both hands, but he couldn't break free anyway, and after his body was hoisted up, he struggled for a while and then completely stopped.

A huge claw stretched out from the side and grabbed the corpse and retracted into the dense bushes.

"Uh······ What about Little Five? The scout who was walking in second felt that there was no sound behind him, and when he turned his head to see that there was no one behind him, he called out on the spot.

Shi Chang turned his head when he heard this, "Let's go, go back and look for it!" ”

The two returned to the big tree where they had eaten, but still did not find their companions.

"Why don't you and I look for it separately, if we find it, call out loudly, whether we find it or not, and return to this place in a moment to meet!" Shi Chang said.

"Good!"

The two immediately separated, one to the east and the other to the west.

Before he had finished a cup of tea, he heard a miserable cry, but it stopped abruptly, and his face changed dramatically, and he immediately ran away in the opposite direction.

By the time he arrived panting, his men were lying on the ground in a bloody blur.

At this time, he felt that something seemed to be behind him, and slowly turned around, and his face and eyes were suddenly filled with extreme fear.

With a "snap", Shi Chang's head shattered like a watermelon, and his body fell on the hand.

A heavy wheezing sound appeared, and a large black shadow blocked out the light.

Qin Feng marched here for a day, thinking that he had mastered the direction, and this time he finally did not take the wrong road, but because it was a mountain road, he only walked less than thirty miles in a whole day.

Camping on a hillside that night, Qin Feng was woken up before dawn.

"Captain, a dark sentry was missing last night, in the southeast!" Juniper reported to Qin Feng with a solemn face.

Qin Feng's expression changed, and he wondered if that beast had been following them all along? He immediately said: "In order not to cause panic, do not announce this matter to the soldiers, and after dawn you will lead people to look for it, and see if you can find the armor that has always been a secret whistle!" ”

"No!"

After dawn, Juniper led the men to search for the remains and armor of the people who had not been found all morning.

Qin Feng could only order the team to continue on the road, the long line moved slowly between the mountains and forests, and after less than an hour, they had to stop and rest for a while before they could continue on their way.

"Captain, when the soldiers were resting, two of them went to Xiaojie and never returned!" While on the march, Juniper once again reported to Qin Feng with a solemn face.

When Qin Feng heard this report, he knew that something was wrong, it seemed that the beast was following them like a ghost, and he had to find a way to find out and kill this guy, otherwise the news would spread, and people would definitely be panicked, and the team would not be easy to lead.

He took a deep breath and said: "Pass the order, the soldiers of each battalion can solve the problem on the spot if they want to go to the toilet, even if they want to leave the team, they must be within the sight of the people who accompany them!" ”

"Yes!"

However, this method was useless, and by noon two more soldiers were missing, Qin Feng declared to the soldiers that he was a deserter in order to stabilize the morale of the army, which eliminated the doubts in the hearts of many soldiers.

Qin Feng felt that he couldn't go any further, and he had to find a way to solve this trouble before he could continue on the road, otherwise something big would happen sooner or later.

"Order: Camp on the spot!"

In a valley, Qin Feng chose a place with his back against the cliff and gave the order to camp.

"Song, go and arrange a sentry! Victory, you will bring people with me, and we will set up traps and cordons! ”

Qin Feng dispersed a large number of men and deployed a lot of sentry posts around, in order to make the beast dare not approach for the time being, so that he could free up time to set up traps without the beast knowing.
