Chapter 263: Public Servants
"There's movement!"
At the shouting, the whole team immediately stopped, and everyone turned their vigilant eyes in all directions.
But after a while, there was no movement in the surrounding jungle. Everyone relaxed again, thinking that several of the fighters in the team were oversensitive because of the tension caused by the danger of this mission.
"Keep going, don't be delayed. β
Someone in the group shouted, and the whole group began to move slowly.
At the end of the line, Leylin's brows sank. He felt that things were not so simple, so he rushed a trace of Heaven and Earth Yuan Force into his ears and eyes, and immediately became deaf and clear.
At this moment, Lei Lin once again felt the wonder of this Heaven and Earth Yuan Force!
At this time, his ears could hear extremely subtle sounds, whether it was the "rustle" sound of leaves rubbing, or the sound of insects flapping their wings, or even the sound of small insects digging in the ground such as ants, and his eyes could see far away, and he could see the veins of leaves more than ten feet away.
With such deafness and clarity, Lei Lin quickly noticed the movement in the forest, and he looked towards the jungle on the left side of the team, and an extremely hidden shadow clearly appeared in his vision, and he could also hear the sound of the shadow moving slowly.
"Everyone, stop!
Lei Lin grabbed Wu Gui and shouted at the same time.
The whole team heard Lei Lin's shouting and stopped, but when they found that it was Lei Lin who was shouting, they couldn't help but have a skeptical and contemptuous expression on their faces.
Some of them even snorted coldly in their noses, and they were about to open their mouths to sarcastically mock Lei Lin.
At this time, there was a sudden change!
Brush!
A strange red shadow suddenly flashed from the jungle on one side. The loud movement made the whole area tremble. And when everyone was surprised. The red shadow had already taken a huge shadow and pressed down on everyone.
"Python!"
Everyone looked up at the huge shadow that had descended, and for a moment, their eyes widened and they exclaimed.
Above everyone's heads, the huge shadow that descended was a demon beast with a human head and a snake body, covered in red scales. A giant tail the size of a bucket, sharp claws and spit out letters, making people's scalp tingle at the sight.
This kind of demon beast with the head of the snake body is called the "python demon" by the human race in the forest, and it is an extremely powerful demon beast in the forest. The python demon in front of him, looking at his size and speed, is still a demon beast with a lower rank, extremely powerful!
Everyone is just a martial artist of Sanxiang, and they are not the opponents of demon beasts at the level of demon beasts, and they were still attacked by this python demon at this time, and they were surprised and exclaimed for a while. But there was a flustery, and the whole team was in a mess.
Moment of truth. Just as the python demon was about to pounce on the center of the team, suddenly a figure flashed at high speed, and then a snow-bright knife slashed through.
Laugh at!
The body of the python demon, who was still bloodthirsty and tight-chested just now, trembled, suddenly lost control, swept past everyone, crashed into a big tree behind everyone, and collapsed.
Everyone still didn't understand what was going on, but they saw that a thin crack suddenly appeared on the python demon's head, and then the python demon's head was split in two, and brains and blood splattered out. And the python demon is already too dead to die.
The lower-level demon pawn is already powerful, and this python demon is not an ordinary lower-level demon beast, it is extremely good at concealing and sneaking attacks, always habitually lying in the woods, waiting for the prey to pass, suddenly falling from the sky and hunting the prey.
But such a powerful python demon was killed in one fell swoop!
In an instant, the shock of everyone is really difficult to describe in words. I don't know who took the lead, everyone quickly turned their heads to look at the figure that killed the python demon, but saw a handsome young man slowly putting away the long knife in his hand - not Lei Lin who was!
For a while, everyone was unexpected, and then they were shocked, they were all stunned and speechless, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that Lei Lin, whose qi and blood breath was just like a martial artist, was so powerful!
The python demon is one of the most reluctant demon beasts in this forest. Because every time you encounter it, there will be casualties. At this time, such a difficult and powerful opponent was killed by Lei Lin in one fell swoop!
Seeing it with their own eyes and feeling it with their own eyes, all the soldiers can feel the strength of Lei Lin even more.
In this forest, what is most admired is the strong, and all strength speaks! Lei Lin showed his hand lightly, after killing the python demon, many warriors looked at the corpse of the python demon, shocked, and at the same time, looked at Lei Lin's eyes flashing with admiration, and some of the martial artists who had sneered and ridiculed Lei Lin before, their faces couldn't help but turn red, and they lowered their arrogant heads.
Tacitly, Lei Lin's identity and status in the eyes of everyone have completely reversed positions, and he is even above Wu Gui. So, next, the whole team began to look at Lei Lin's horse, and everyone acquiesced to Lei Lin's leadership position.
The team moved forward again, and everyone suddenly found that this originally extremely dangerous exploration mission had become easy because of the addition of Lei Lin. Along the way, Lei Lin always made a sudden attack and cleared out the powerful demon beasts that intended to ambush.
Lei Lin's clearing speed was incredibly fast, and before everyone knew it, he shot and killed the approaching demon beast, and everyone had time to glance at the corpse of the demon beast, and then raise the sword in his hand.
And after arriving at the back, everyone found that the swords in their hands had no chance to be stained with blood, and they were precious spirit soldiers, but the biggest role at this time was to split the thorns that blocked the way, which was not much different from ordinary firewood knives......
Time passed, and before they knew it, everyone had gone deep into the dense forest. Lei Lin glanced up at the sky and said, "It's noon, let's rest here." β
Naturally, everyone would not object, they all nodded in agreement, chopped some shrubs and thorns, cleared out a small field, and then dispersed and rested on the spot.
Of course, while resting, everyone did not forget the danger of this jungle, and after a while, they changed to a warrior who was skillful and sturdy on the giant tree next to him, vigilantly scanning the surroundings and being responsible for guarding.
Lei Lin also sat cross-legged on a big tree, and while resting, he looked around and asked Wu Gui beside him, "Wu Gui, do you know where we are?"
Wu Gui had been cultivating in the deep mountains for the past year, and he was quite familiar with this area, so he nodded and said, "This is Ma Pilin, and if you go more than ten miles ahead, it will be the Troubled Stone Valley." β
Lei Lin frowned and said, "It's already noon, if we have traveled more than ten miles and haven't found the situation, we'd better return." In the forest, the night is much more dangerous than the day. β
When everyone heard this, they all nodded quietly, thinking that Lei Lin was reasonable.
Indeed, compared to demon beasts, the Terrans have no advantage in eyesight and hearing, especially at night. And once in the dark night, the sense of sight and hearing is worse, and the strength of one or the other is equivalent to the strength of the demon beast, which will be more dangerous.
Although everyone has hardly encountered any danger along the way, everyone will not be naΓ―ve to think that the task has become easier, if there is no Lei Lin in the team, I am afraid that the number of people will be reduced long ago. And at night, I'm afraid that Lei Lin can't guarantee everyone's safety.
It's just that, having said that, if it really fails to return, everyone is unwilling.
For a while, everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and they drank water and ate dry food, and when they were eating dry food, they lowered their heads and thought.
In this way, the whole jungle is quiet, quiet.
At this time, a middle-aged man in the team stood up, hesitated, but still walked in front of Lei Lin, and said respectfully: "Little brother, my Wang Meng's martial arts strength is not very good, but he is still very good at seeing the traces of the jungle." The traces of these night raids were very messy, but they were roughly divided into two strands. I think it's better for us to divide into two ways and investigate at the same time. That way, you'll have a better chance of finding something when you return!"
When Lei Lin heard this, he felt reasonable, and while nodding, he looked at everyone.
Everyone knew that it was Leylin who was consulting their opinion. They immediately agreed:
"Lao Meng has a point! I agree with the division of soldiers into two ways!"
"That's fine! After all, we have put so much effort into stopping this team, and if we return empty-handed, we will not be able to save face. β
β¦β¦
Hearing everyone's discussion, Lei Lin nodded, but he had a question: "It's naturally no problem for the soldiers to be divided into two ways, but if one of them discovers something along the way, how should the two people contact each other?"
Wang Meng grinned and took out a few arrows from the Qiankun bag at his waist.
Lei Lin saw that the arrow was basically the same as the ordinary arrow, but there was a firecracker and something like that tied to the arrow.
"It's called a cloud-piercing arrow, and it can shoot into the air at a height of 100 feet, and the jungle can be used in dense places, and trees can be used in tall places. Once shot into the air, it will explode, emit a red signal, and it can be seen in almost every corner of the forest!"
Wang Meng explained, smiled and raised the "Cloud Piercing Arrow" in his hand, and continued: "This Cloud Piercing Arrow is a signal arrow used by the army in battle, even in the daytime, it can be clearly seen thousands of miles away. There is also a popular saying in the army -- an arrow piercing the clouds will meet thousands of troops!"
As soon as Wang Meng said this, everyone nodded secretly, thinking that if this cloud-piercing arrow could be seen in the daytime and thousands of miles away, it would definitely be no problem to use it to contact.
Lei Lin also made a quick decision: "Okay, then we will divide our troops into two ways and follow the traces left by the night attack demon beast to investigate." If the centaurs on that side find something happening, they will immediately launch cloud-piercing arrows to contact them, while the other group of centaurs will immediately chase the signal and come to the convergence when they see the signal, no matter what!"
When Lei Lin said this, everyone naturally didn't have the slightest meaning to this, and they all nodded in agreement.
Next, the whole team was simply grouped again. One group was headed by Lei Lin, and the other group was headed by Wu Gui, who was the strongest except for Lei Lin. (To be continued......)
