They didn't know that the elders of the Mountain Academy in the early stage of Ning Dan swept away the footprints on the ground while retreating, in order to prevent someone from finding them according to the footprints they left on the ground.

Therefore, Wen Meng and the others had no way to find Xu Tianhai and the others through the traces on the ground.

After Xu Tianhai and the others walked for more than 30 miles, they made various arrangements on the ground, and then all of them concentrated on recuperating and recuperating their Yuan Li.

Half a day later, they completely recovered their Yuan Force.

It's just that those injured disciples can't fight anymore, and at the same time, they also need to send some disciples to protect those injured disciples.

Therefore, there are only more than forty people in the team who can fight.

The eyes of the elder in the early stage of Ning Dan flickered, and he knew that if he wanted to complete this task next, he would have to have those disciples act with him.

He knew that although this was not in line with the rules of the Mountain Academy, the current situation was not his turn to take care of this, and he didn't want his disciples to fight those horse thieves like before.

Now that the disciples on his side have suffered heavy losses, he will definitely be punished by the Mountain Academy in the future, which will definitely have a great impact on his future promotion.

He knew that he couldn't let Miao Miaoyu among his disciples know about this kind of cheating, and once she really told the dean about his cheating, then he would have no way to mix up in the Mountain Academy in the future.

The elder in the early stage of Ning Dan thought for a while, and then put Miao Miaoyu among those injured disciples and asked her to take care of those injured disciples.

In this way, he can lead the others to rush into the lair of those horse thieves and kill them.

He immediately asked Miao Miaoyu and the other senior disciples to stay and take care of those injured disciples, and then he personally led Xu Tianhai and the others to move forward quickly.

He planned to carry out a sneak attack on those horse thieves, and an elder in the early stage of Ning Dan made a move, and their side naturally had a great chance of winning.

But he didn't know how many there were those horse thieves, and he felt that the strength of those horse thieves was far beyond his imagination.

He judged that it was most likely that there were several groups of horse thieves mixed together, and that the horse thieves they had seen before were only a small part of them.

Only this explanation could reasonably explain the number of horse thieves he had seen before.

"It seems that we didn't do a good job of intelligence before!"

The elder thought about it for a while, and then he thought of all the excuses and justifications he might use in the future.

After that, he personally led the disciples towards the horse thief's camp.

Along the way, they noticed that some spies of horse thieves appeared in front of them, and when the spies of the horse thieves saw them, they wanted to flee immediately, but they were all stopped by him.

The elder was tortured and beaten, and finally got accurate information from the spies.

Those horse thieves had an absolute advantage in numbers, but if they were allowed to fight alone with the elders in the early stage of the Ning Dan, then they would definitely not be the opponents of the elders.

After questioning, the elder realized that there was indeed another group of horse thieves who had merged with the group of horse thieves they had explored before, and they were a strong alliance and wanted to make a big deal together.

"It turned out that those twenty or so disciples met those new horse thieves, and those more than twenty disciples were the opponents of those horse thieves, and they were chased and killed by those horse thieves for a while, and finally almost all of them were wiped out!"

And the group of horse thieves who arrived first was only the vanguard team, and there were more than 300 horse thieves in the back, plus the horse thieves in the camp in front, the number of horse thieves in their group must be at least more than 600 people.

After hearing this news, the elder in the early stage of Ning Dan immediately gasped, he didn't expect that the number of those horse thieves would be so large.

His brow furrowed, he felt that this time the information was wrong was his fault and that of the other elders.

It stands to reason that if the intelligence this time was a mistake by the people above, then the responsibility should be borne by the people above, and he felt that he did not need to bear the losses caused by the intelligence errors.

But this time, he also participated in the investigation of intelligence.

He pondered that the upper echelons would eventually put some of the blame on him, and he guessed that even if the upper echelons didn't trouble him this time, they would definitely give him small shoes to wear in the future.

After all, he had probed the specific information of those horse thieves before, and he swore to the higher-ups above that they were very accurate in their information.

And now he learns that he has accidentally killed another team of horse thieves, which shocks him.

If he says it's a mistake in intelligence, he's going to be punished.

In order to minimize the punishment he received, he thought that he should go up and kill some horse thieves.

So, he left the life of the spy behind, and he will use his speed to send the spy to Miao Miaoyu and others to guard.

"Don't untie him, he'll run away!"

The elder explained for a while, and then hurried back to the group.

After he returned to the team, he decided to lead Xu Tianhai and the others to kill some horse thieves.

Only in this way can he give an explanation to the top brass above.

After all, it's understandable that something unexpected happens during testing.

As long as he can kill more horse thieves, then the mission he led this time will be considered a success.

At this time, those horse thieves thought that the disciples of the Mountain Academy had fled, so they did not continue to search.

When they return to the cottage, they do whatever they have to do.

However, due to what had happened before, they were still very worried that the people from the Mountain Academy would launch a sneak attack on them, so they sent additional manpower to be on guard.

At this time, Xu Tianhai and the others approached the cottage and saw that there were many guards around the horse thief camp in front.

The early elders of the Ning Dan could only wait for it to get dark before acting.

"Everyone, now everyone is recuperating in the same place and recovering the Yuan Force. Let's wait until it's dark!"

Xu Tianhai and the others immediately closed their eyes and concentrated on recuperation.

"Let's hope they don't go undetected by the horse thieves!"

The elder prayed in his heart.

Time passed little by little, and finally in the middle of the night, the elder told everyone to be ready to fight at any time.

Xu Tianhai and the others' eyes widened, staring closely at the horse thief camp in front of them.

They saw a number of sentries with torches around the camp in front of them, and they cautiously lurked past.

Xu Tianhai's divine sense was released, and no abnormalities were found.

He knew from the arrangement of the horse thieves in front of him that as soon as someone gave the alarm signal, the horse thieves in the whole camp would immediately jump out of bed and rush out to fight them.

"Remember, everyone, wait a minute, if you see the flares I have released, you will withdraw immediately!

The elder whispered.

"Okay!"

The disciples whispered.
