Chapter 168: Scattered

"Detachment? No, if we are in detachment, our forces will be weak, and it will be easy for the enemy to break them individually. The middle-aged mercenary who persuaded him objected at the first time, thinking purely from the perspective of overall interests.

Unexpectedly, Ryan immediately retorted to him: "No, judging from the current situation, the situation is even worse. After a pause, Ryan said to the captain and the tall mercenary, "Do you two think the detachment is better?" ”

"Okay, I'm in favor, I'll just let them quit the mission." The captain thought for a moment and said that he no longer expected the small group with which they had conflicts to continue to work well with them.

"I also agree, we want to quit, and saving our lives is the most important thing." The tall mercenary also thought for a moment and said, and then he said, "Then we are now divided into two teams. ”

"No, we're in three teams." Ryan immediately disagreed.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to be on the same team with any of you." Ryan finally expressed his displeasure with the two gangs.

The faces of these two groups immediately changed, and they wanted to get angry, but then they endured it again, Ryan's wisdom, Ryan's composure, and Ryan's composure all made them feel unfathomable, so they didn't dare to use their mouths

Subsequently, after some arguments, all the mercenaries were divided into three teams, one team of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, one team of small groups, and one team of neutral mercenaries. Originally, the Tiger mercenary group and the small group wanted Ryan to be a team alone, but the other neutral mercenaries also expressed their stance after Ryan made a statement. Indeed, they saw that these two gangs were not the same, and they still followed Ryan to form a team to be safe.

After deciding on it, everyone divided into three directions and left separately.

Ryan's team, including Ryan, consisted of four people, all four of whom were experienced. This is evident from the fact that the other three are reluctant to join small groups, preferring to go it alone.

Ryan consulted with the other three and decided to search the area first, determine the direction, and then decide whether to stay or leave.

The four of them lined up in a diamond-shaped formation in four directions, front, back, left, and right, and marched forward cautiously. Ryan stood at the end of the formation, in charge of the rear of the hall.

This time, the number of people is much less, but there is also a lot of unity, and everyone has a good strength, Ryan knows very well that the other three must be more than the strength of the level 3 A-level swordsman revealed on the surface, there must be something hidden, because Ryan himself is also hiding strength.

Four people with four torches, the place where the light shines is a little smaller.1 In the fog, you can only see about three or four meters away, so the four of them are very careful.

The team's goal is to find the slope up the hill first, or the slope to go down.

Ryan told everyone that the method is very simple, that is, walk seventy or eighty meters in one direction, and if you don't find a slope, then continue to walk in another way. In this case, sooner or later you will be able to find the slope.

Half a day later, the team had changed direction several times, but still did not find the slope and did not encounter other teams. Ryan felt as if he was going around in circles in a labyrinth.

The mood of everyone is very heavy, and the confusion of the road ahead makes people feel frightened.

"What should I do?" The middle-aged mercenary asked Ryan.

"I can't help it. Now we can only change direction and go a little further and take a look. Ryan thought about it, and then comforted his companion again: "I haven't encountered danger for so long, so there shouldn't be any big danger." ”

As the team continued to move forward, Ryan thinking of a solution in his mind as he walked.

Suddenly, Ryan had an idea: this fog was cast by a magician, so the fog should contain the magic of this magician, and if he sensed the magic of the magician, he could not break the fog.

So, Ryan stopped, he needed to meditate with magic, sensing the surrounding fog if there was any magic from other magicians.

After a few breaths, Ryan entered a state of magical meditation, and as a result, all of a sudden, he sensed the magic power in the mist.

Ryan was overjoyed and quickly stopped his magical meditation and was about to tell his teammates about this discovery. Unexpectedly, he found that his teammates who were walking in front were gone, and in just a few breaths, Ryan fell behind.

"Wait." Ryan loud sound.

No one responded.

Ryan hurriedly walked forward a dozen steps quickly, but he didn't find his teammate.

"It's strange that in just a few breaths, they walked up to ten meters, but they got lost. This is very strange! Rui Anxin felt a hint of fear.

Next, Ryan kept yelling and his body kept changing directions around him, but he still couldn't find his teammates.

Ryan quieted down, and at this point, he had a deeper understanding of the fog in his heart: "It seems that this fog not only blocks the view and blocks the sound effect, but also makes people disorienting, maybe we have been going around in circles in an area all this time." ”

"It seems that I can't find my teammates, and then I'm the only one left, and I'm going to fight alone, what should I do?"

As a last resort, Ryan could only cautiously move forward, his head kept turning around, and his eyes kept looking around.1 He was afraid that some unknown creature would come behind him to sneak attack.

The fire on the torch in his hand grew smaller, and Ryan found a large dead branch from the nearby ground, lit it, and used it to make a new torch. The fire of the new torch shone a little farther away, and you could see two or three meters away, and the rest of the place was gray and foggy.

Ryan was now completely disoriented, and the only thing he knew for sure was that he was still halfway up the mountain, as evidenced by the fact that there was no steep flat ground underfoot. The trees on the flat ground are not very dense, and it takes a few meters to come across a tree, and in some places several trees have been cut down in succession, revealing a large piece of flat land.

Ryan didn't have any idea of completing the mission at this time, and now he couldn't even cross this labyrinthine flat land, so what ability did he have to climb to the top of the mountain, go up to the source of the fog, and find trouble with that enemy whose strength was known to be very strong? He just wanted to get out of here in peace, but how?

Ryan found a larger tree, leaned his back against the trunk, and then entered the state of magical meditation again, and after a few breaths, he sensed the magic in the mist.

Ryan needs to sense the direction of the mana flow boat in order to find the source of the mana.

After a moment, Ryan barely sensed the direction of the flow of the mana, intermittently, not very clearly. There's no way, Ryan's sensing power is still very poor, and he can sense magic in an ordinary state, which is already very good. If it were Ryan a year ago, he would never have been able to sense the magic.

After a few more moments, Ryan finally determined that the direction of the mana flow was from top to bottom, which meant that the fog was shrouded from above his head.

After thinking about it for a moment, Ryan felt that the source of the fog was at the top of U1, and then shrouded down from the top of the mountain, shrouding the flat ground halfway up the mountain. In this case, Ryan couldn't help but feel frustrated when Ji Ge 1, who wanted to find the source of the mist according to the direction of the flow of magic.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting, as if it was happening not far away, as before. The difference is that the two fighting sounds I heard before were mixed with human voices full of fighting spirit and excitement, and it was obviously the sound of the fighting people gaining the upper hand. But this time, the sound of the fight was mixed with screams and cries for help, and it was obvious that the people who were fighting were about to be defeated.

Ryan wanted to rush over to help at first, but for a moment he forced his body not to move. His sanity told himself that there was something wrong with this fog, and that if he rushed out so hastily, he might not find anything. Besides, if the strong enemy is very powerful1 can beat the other mercenaries and quickly scream for help, it will be useless for Ryan to go up to help, and he will only die in vain.

After a while, the sound of the fight stopped abruptly, and Ryan's heart was lifted instead, because the fight lasted for a short time, indicating that the enemy's strength was very strong.

Ryan began to worry about himself, he wondered if the enemy after the end of the battle would come to trouble Ryan?

"What to do?" Ryan's mind raced.

In an instant, Ryan had only one way, that is, throw away the torch in his hand, put out the fire on it with his foot, and then turn around, grab the trunk of the tree that had been clinging to his back, and quickly climb up.

This is the only way Ryan has now, it has saved Ryan many times, and he hopes it will work just as well this time.

Ryan's movements were fast, and in a few breaths he climbed onto the fork at the top of the tree, and then, with his free left hand, quickly pulled over the branches and leaves around him, covering his body, revealing only his two eyes to see what was going on below. After doing these actions, Ryan felt a little safe.

The tree that Ryan climbed on was the one he had just selected for a thicker trunk, and the tree grew very tall, so the top of the tree where Ryan was hiding was six or seven meters above the ground.

Ryan looked under the tree, he thought he shouldn't be able to see anything in the fog. Unexpectedly, 1 found a very strange place, that is, looking down from the trees, the fog he saw was not so thick, it was much lighter, and even a faint black shadow could be seen on the ground. You know, the top of the tree is six or seven meters away from the ground, and you can't see it so far from the ground before, and you can only see two or three meters away when you light it with a torch.

Ryan guessed that the fog from the magic only passed through the top of the tree and shrouded the ground, so the fog at the top of the tree was naturally very light. Of course1 this is just Ryan's speculation, and with Ryan's shallow experience in magic, it is really impossible to confirm.

Next, Ryan planned to hide in the top of the tree and wait for the sun to come out. As soon as the sun comes out, the fog will dissipate, everything will return to normal, and it will be safe to go back.

Now, the only question is, will the enemy find out if you hide in the top of the tree? Ryan didn't know, and he couldn't guarantee it, so he had to be careful.

After a while, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps under the tree, and Ryan was taken aback. (To be continued, "The word is provided by the Dawn Update Group.")
