Chapter Seventy-Four: On the Eve of the General Attack
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow struck at a short man in black clothes and black armor like lightning, and this short man didn't look at it, but grabbed this sharp arrow in his hand!
Immediately, he threw a backhand, and the arrow shot into the canopy of a large tree not far away faster than it had come.
With a "plop", a terrified mercenary fell from the canopy. Several mercenaries, who were also lying in ambush nearby, scattered in all directions.
The short man didn't chase after him, but wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with some irritability.
This short man is the little monkey next to Yu Fenglie, Yu Fenglie's most confidant. The little monkey is a beast war in the late stage of the Beast Soul Period, born as a scout, long in speed, and good at assassination.
The little monkey is nicknamed "Divine Dog" for no other reason than because he is extremely good at tracking and grappling. Whatever prey he targets will have nothing to hide, and he has no record of unsuccessful tracking.
And as long as he is entangled, he will definitely not be able to escape. He once had a proud record of holding a force of nearly 100 men alone for three days.
But tonight, the little monkey had a stronger and stronger premonition. He had a hunch that he would miss the tracking for the first time tonight.
This premonition stems from the fact that the whereabouts of the prey began to become more and more erratic, and the South City Gate, which Yu Fenglie had originally judged, was obviously not the destination of the prey, because the direction of the prey's escape was getting farther and farther away from the South City Gate, flickering left and right, making the little monkey a little unable to judge where the prey would go next.
What's more, there are constantly some mercenaries or adventurers ambushing the little monkeys along the road. Although these ambushes were not threatening, they only delayed the monkey's progress for a while. But the problem is that the appearance of ambush means that the other party has found itself!
This frightened the little monkey. With his tracking and stealth skills, no prey had ever been able to discover its existence so quickly.
"Smack!" After imprinting a sign on the ground that only he and Yu Fenglie could understand, the little monkey continued to move forward with a gloomy face, more careful and faster than before, almost clinging to the grass by the roadside, as if it were just a wild cat in the grass.
"Buzz!"
A slightly obese bee hiding in the grass was startled by the monkey and quickly flew away. The little monkey didn't care about this detail, but it was these bees hiding along the road - that is, He Zhiyuan's self-detonating worker bees - that made him, a master of tracking, invisible to him.
"Shhh
A vicious scorpion tail with a slight trembling sound sinisterly drilled out of the ground, the time is just right, when the scorpion tail fully appeared, like a civet cat like a fast forward monkey will rush here, by the scorpion tail pierced!
"Whoosh!"
But at the moment when the scorpion tail was about to succeed, the little monkey's forward speed exploded several times in an instant, and the whole body seemed to teleport forward several meters, and it was able to dodge this blow.
"Whew!"
The scorpion tail, which missed the blow, quickly burrowed back into the ground, and finally drilled out again on the ground not far away, turning into a whip and falling into the hands of a tall, hot, and extremely attractive woman wearing a fiery red robe.
"Brother is really good at kung fu, this is all avoided by you~" This woman is the fire scorpion, at this time, she gently waved the whip in her hand, and said to the little monkey in a sweet and heart-shaking tone, "In the middle of the night, my brother has to run around too hard, right? Why bother, why don't we be here, do something that makes us all very happy?"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Damn, where do they want to go, what do they want to do?" Yu Fenglie slapped away a sign left by the little monkey on the tree with a palm, and shouted angrily in a low voice, a few green qi faintly appeared on his white face.
Behind him, followed by the tall officer and a pair of soldiers from the most elite Phoenix-Billed Beast Legion, everyone was silent at this time, waiting for Yu Fenglie's next order.
But Yu Fenglie's thinking was already a little confused at this time. Because the behavior of his opponents is chaotic. Originally, Yu Fenglie was very sure that the South City Gate was the final destination of the other party, but now he was a little shaken in his judgment.
The information that the little monkey spied on and the marks left behind all showed that the other party was very close to the South City Gate at one time, and it seemed that there had been a conflict with another group not far from the South City Gate - this was the moment when Yu Fenglie was closest to success, because it was also at that time that he was leading the team to the South City Gate, as long as the other party delayed a little longer, the Yu family's troops could arrive.
But since then, the other party's actions have become more and more strange, not only getting farther and farther away from the south city gate, but also the whereabouts have begun to become irregular, and it seems that it is completely where to go. But one thing remains the same, no matter how unreliable the opponent's behavior seems, he can always get rid of the Yu family's pursuers from afar.
For the first time in his life, Yu Fenglie felt a little at a loss. Although he had vaguely guessed the reason why they were so passiveβit must be because their opponents had some kind of method that allowed them to know their whereabouts very clearly, so they could be so adept. But the problem is, what exactly this method is, Yu Fenglie has no clue at all. Even, he rarely encountered such a situation, in the past, because of the existence of small monkeys, he was always able to have an advantage in reconnaissance.
And as long as the little monkey finds the other party, he can always entangle the other party and delay the other party's speed, even if the other party has an absolute numerical advantage or strength advantage. But this time, Yu Fenglie's most relied on confidant Ai General also seemed to have lost its effect.
"What kind of method is it, even the little monkey can't find out?" Yu Fenglie muttered to himself, then turned his head and asked, "What about the little monkey?
"Nope. The tall officer immediately replied, and then cautiously suggested, "Sir, it's not a way for us to chase after us like this, and my subordinates feel that the other party is deliberately delaying time with us." β
Yu Fenglie's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are right, they are so uncertain, not headless flies, but purposeful...... They had obviously fought other mob teams, but there were only traces of a fight, only a few arrows left, but no corpses or even blood...... That person wants to entangle the mob and storm the city defenses, his destination, nine times out of ten, is still the south city gate!"
Yu Fenglie was shocked and realized: "If I am not mistaken, the little monkey must have been entangled by them at this time, and it will be the moment of their general attack." Hurry up and follow me to the South Gate......! It's still too late. β
