Chapter 55: The Lair
"Pack up now, we're going to move as fast as we can!"
"We can't let them react before we do."
The huntress gave the order.
The four of them hurriedly packed up the camp and then galloped through the forest under Dan's leadership.
The ice badger that had just been killed provided a lot of information.
If they are found under normal circumstances, and successfully hunted, it only means that they are close to the enemy.
But now the situation is - the ice badger is approaching them on its own initiative!
According to the worse scenario, they have been discovered by the enemy, and the ice badger corpse in front of them is an outpost sent by the other party to reconnoiter the situation.
So at this moment, every second counts in the true sense!
Sending Ice Badgers to scout shows that the enemy does not know the details of the expeditionary team. And the ice badger, which was killed almost instantly, had no chance to pass the news back.
On both sides, there is a part of each other hidden in the fog of the unknown.
But there's a little difference -
Lindsay and the others are now in the wilderness, away from the border towns, closer to the enemy's strongholds.
Unleash a surprise attack as fast as you can so that the opponent has no time to react.
It's the biggest advantage they can fight for!
The figures of the four Awoken swept swiftly through the forest.
Aside from Dan's pause in judging the direction of the tracking, there was little to no one talking along the way.
Morning to noon.
The group of four only chewed a few mouthfuls of dry food and drank a few sips of water while on the road.
From noon to afternoon.
They even encountered a tiger on the road.
In front of the four awakened people who were marching in a hurry, this unlucky big cat, who usually dominates the forest, was cut off by Alain, who rushed to the front, and almost lost his life inexplicably.
And so on until dusk.
The atmosphere of the team also became tense and low in the silent gallop.
Time once nightfall.
The situation would immediately turn bad for them.
Even if the Awakened are not like ordinary people, it is difficult to cope with the limitations of the night on their vision.
But compared to the wild monsters who were already accustomed to the night environment, the difficulty of their battles would definitely increase suddenly.
But it was also at this evening that Dan, who was leading the way in front of him, suddenly stopped.
She raised her hand backwards, and everyone immediately stopped.
“……”
The speeding procession was silent for an instant, and the surrounding area was so quiet that only the faint chirping of insects in the forest remained.
And this time.
The huntress did not tell her companion to be quiet, as she had done before, but went up to inspect it herself. Here's what she says:
"Alain, we are 150 meters ahead, you are the pioneer and rush up. I'm behind you, trying to kill everything that stands in my way. Lindsay, Torch, you two follow us one on the left and one on the right, and promise not to slip through the net! ”
The Huntress is extremely fast and her tactics are extremely simple.
When Alain heard this, he immediately took out two long daggers and crossed them in front of him, and rushed forward without hesitation.
Dan followed closely behind.
Lindsey and Torch obeyed the command, their bows and arrows in their hands, and they followed the team without leaving the ground.
The four Awoken sped through the woods.
Under the charge, a distance of 150 meters is nothing at all.
After a few breaths, the trees in front of them thinned out and the ground rose suddenly. Between the woods and the raised mounds, boulders cover a cavern that extends beneath the surface.
Lindsay looked over.
It was pitch black inside, but the smell of a wild beast came to my face.
"Come on!"
Alan shouted, and without the slightest hesitation, the whole person rushed in instantly.
In the next second, the beast's wail rang out.
But at the same time, there was a flash of blue light - ice picks belonging to ice badgers continued to shoot out from inside the cave.
Even in the dark, Alain is completely unafraid of the attacks of the demonic beasts.
The martial artist's heart sublimated in the third stage allowed him to make predictions in advance before the ice pick reached the body. Alain dodged the attacks of the monsters while wielding the long dagger in his hand to hunt, each slash with the effect of a superior blow, and occasionally burst into a bright light in the dark.
In an instant.
The cave was splashed with earth and rock, and the figure of the warrior was erratic in the light and shadow.
Seeing this scene, the huntress at the back of the position also chased after her.
Instead of leaving the task of putting herself in danger entirely to Alain, she pulled out her hunting knife and rushed into the cave without hesitation to assist in the battle.
Hunters and warriors fought in very different ways.
Whether attacked or aggressive, Dan always keeps himself in a position that is extremely difficult for an ice badger to attack. But at the same time, every swing of the hunting knife in her hand could accurately hit the deadly parts of the beast.
An ice badger that is extremely dangerous to ordinary people.
In front of the huntress, she was like a young child who had no ability to resist, and she was thoroughly aware of all the information, and she could only be slaughtered before the great disparity in strength.
Even if someone counts carefully.
You will find that under the unpretentious actions of the huntress, the speed of killing the ice badger is even more exaggerated than that of Alan who fights full-time!
The entrance to the cave, Lindsey and Torch are much simpler.
Dan and Alain had already rushed into the cave, and if they went in further, they would only crowd the already scarce space, so they were just shooting arrows with bows in the back at the moment.
Alain's attack aided them.
The flash caused by the dominant blow was meant to blind the ice badger who had adapted to the darkness for a short time.
But for the two Lindsey, who were in safety.
This bright light is enough to illuminate, and then seriously aim, shooting the monster.
Every few arrows there is a chance to get a result.
The four of them only developed a temporary tactic, but the victory was that the raid was launched quickly enough.
After only a few minutes, the smell of blood permeated the cavern, and there was no more movement of wild beasts roaring.
The ice badgers were caught off guard and almost all of them were wiped out in their lair!
“……”
Dan and Alain emerge from the dark cavern.
The leading huntress wrinkled her nose, and seeing that the battle was over, she untied her backpack from behind her, took out the fire and lit it.
Beckon the other three to inspect the battlefield:
"Don't take it lightly."
"Let's go together and see what's going on inside."
In fact, this ice badger's nest is not very deep, with a total length of less than 30 meters.
After some inspection, Lindsay and the others confirmed that there was no room for hiding. It is a simple natural cave, which is now occupied by ice badgers as a nest, and only some of the cubs hide in the deepest part of the cave.
"That's the trouble with low-stage Warcraft."
"Powerful demonic beasts are affected by essentia and are as difficult to reproduce as our humans' high-level awakened beings. But the ...... of the lower stage"
Speaking of which, the huntress kills the ice badger cub on the ground with a single sword.
"They even have the potential to pass on their essentia to their offspring, and if it's a very fertile species, it often has a very bad impact on the whole environment."
Dan didn't hesitate to dispose of the ice badger cubs in the lair.
Just as Dan killed all these ice badger cubs and confirmed the success of this hunt for Warcraft.
New content has also surfaced on Lindsay's properties panel.
【Mission Accomplished】
[Hunting Simulation Module Ability Upgrade, Level: 4]
[Hunting simulation module: Obtain a new skill - prey material.] 】
Lindsey is preparing to check the attributes of her new skill.
At this moment, the face of the huntress in front of her suddenly changed, as if she noticed something contrary to common sense:
"Something is wrong!"
"These ice badgers have lived here for too short, and this is just a trap to confuse us."
"Let's go, get out right away!"
