Chapter 0013: Trap
Chapter 0013 Trap
Half a day later, the thieves who came out to look for Avr and his party found traces of battle here, and followed the trail to find the mound. An hour later, Astelli Blood Axe stood beside the mound that had been peeled open, looked at a dozen corpses, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the bald head and the corpses of Avor?" ”
The little leader who led the way replied with a winc: "I didn't find it!" We've searched the entire road from here to the front point sentry, and nothing else has been found except for the empty dirt pit that has been dug up at the front point sentry and this dirt pit! However, 5 of the 17 corpses here should be sentry agents from the former sentry, and the others came out with the leader of Avor, but there is no trace of the two leaders. ”
"What can you see in the traces of the battle?" Astelli's Blood Axe was completely unaware of the morning's irritability, and there was a hint of fear in his cold eyes.
12 level 6 thieves and level 7 berserkers under their command actually died silently on the way back to the cottage, and those who can do this can also kill themselves.
Asteli Blood Axe may be very brutal, may be reckless, may not take other people's lives seriously, but it does not mean that he does not take his own lives seriously, when encountering dangers that can threaten his own life, he will be more tolerant than others, more calm to find a safe way out, this is a leader's essential suzhì, people who don't understand have already been lying in a coffin, or not even a coffin, in the wild by vicious dogs gnawing on the broken corpse!
"There must be mages, and possibly undead skeletons, not many of them." The little boss wasn't sure that it was too strange to find undead creatures in the Whispering Forest.
"Back to the cottage, all the sentry guards will be doubled, one round a day." Asteri Blood Axe ordered, turned around and wanted to return to the mountain with his men after speaking, but suddenly stopped, stared at the little leader and said: "Remember, the two leaders are fine, they have a mission, go out to find the "sheep", take care of the people you brought out today, I don't want anyone to spread something?" ”
"Yes......" The little leader said in a cold sweat.
Astelli Blood Axe didn't want to say anything more, and returned directly to the cottage with a gloomy face. After dark, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew out of the cottage, and soon disappeared into the night of the Whispering Forest.
……
The night in the Whispering Forest is deep, and whenever the full moon rises in the middle of the sky, a faint mist rises in the forest that does not dissipate until dawn the next day. I don't know if it's because the thieves are strangled too hard, there are many traces of wild beasts in the mountains and forests under the night, which is also in line with the name Whispering Forest.
In a small cave 3 miles away from the back of the Blood Axe Camp, Li Xun is happily barbecuing, a fat-headed and big-eared hare, although there are few large beasts in the whispering forest, there are really a lot of such herbivorous little guys. The entrance of the cave is covered by 3 skeletons with firewood and grass from the outside, and the inside is very spacious, how do you look like a bear's den, but it has been abandoned for a long time, probably by the blood axe thieves when they first came!
With the lesson of Hongmu Village, Li Xun's dimensional bag will always be indispensable to all kinds of spices, even if there is not enough space, he is reluctant to throw it away. It seems that the rumors are right, otaku must be foodies!
Holding a small brush, the various favorite spices were evenly brushed on the squeaky and bubbling rabbit meat, a fragrance came to the nose, Li Xun smiled and turned the rabbit meat in his hand, watching it slowly become golden in his hand, and saliva flowed down!
Many animals in this world are similar to the earth, but the meat tastes much more delicious, and I don't know if those monster meat will taste better. It's a pity that although the Whispering Forest is vast and reaches 30,000 square kilometers, due to its proximity to the coast, there are not a large number of magical beasts. Judging from the books of the principality, many scholars suspect that the main reason for the scarcity of demonic beasts in such a large area of the forest is the mist at night! But exactly how the mist will affect Warcraft is still inconclusive. Li Xun has only been in the Whispering Forest for 3 days, and he has already fully appreciated the difference in mist, this is not just mist, you can feel a kind of magic fluctuation in it, it is strange! But this kind of fluctuation is too dark, so that people with a keen spirit can feel its existence but it can't be traced back to the source, Li Xun really doubts that there is a magic array that is exerting its power, but a magic array that covers 30,000 square kilometers, even Li Xun himself shook his head and began to admire his imagination.
Putting the chores aside, Li Xun began to concentrate on enjoying the rabbit meat feast, but unfortunately there were only 2 skeletons in the cave who did not eat, drink or talk to accompany him. After eating the perfect meal and drinking some wine, Li Xun lay down on the leather mattress beautifully and began to think about the actions in the next few days.
The Blood Axe Thieves have suffered a loss, and they still don't know who the enemy is and where they come from? You will inevitably become cautious, and if you want to fish in troubled waters, you will have to be careful of being bitten by a fish. Killed 2 leaders of the front of the Blood Axe Thieves Group, he could have gone back to rest and replenish some supplies, and by the way, the thieves group continued to find no one, suspicious, and when he rested, it is estimated that the thieves group should also relax, and he can take a few more bites. But the two reasons always hooked Li Xun and made him unable to let go.
The first reason is that he hasn't seen Sir Hanwick's young son yet, so it's hard to go back and explain, and Li Xun will never do the stupid thing of rescuing the young son now, God knows if Sir Hanwick will have the confidence and fighting spirit to fight to the death with the blood axe thieves after he gets his young son back. It can't be saved, but if you take a token back, you can not only explain but also hook Sir Hanwick and not let go, so you must think of sneaking into the back mountain camp to meet the hostage young son.
The second reason is very ridiculous, Li Xun is now level 3 (407/500) (just killed a rabbit, go up a little), and no matter how hard he works, he is likely to rush to level 4, and then his strength will increase a lot, and the following actions will be much easier. So even if he felt the danger, Li Xun was a little reluctant to let go.
pondered and pondered like this, and there was no particularly good way, Li Xun simply covered his head and fell asleep.
As soon as the sky was bright, the energetic Li Xun was already squatting outside a sentry and began to observe life.
Good boy, a lot of people!
The sentry is set up on a mountain bag on the left side of the blood axe camp out of the forest mouth, Li Xun has already harvested it once the day before yesterday, and there are still people this time. There are 10 red dots glittering in the soul vision, 7 in the thatched hut at the rear, and 3 red dots on the top of the slope. The three observers at the top of the slope are scattered in three hidden spots, visible to each other, making it difficult to remove them one by one, and the three of them have crossed their eyes, enough to cover all the mountains and forests near the mountain bag, not so much that they are monitoring the path into the forest, but that they are watching out for a sneak attack.
Is this monitoring the mountain road into the forest? Why do they always feel like they're waiting for something? The 3 observers in the mountain pack lurk site have active soul fires, which is normal, but why are the 7 soul fires in the thatched hut also active? What are they doing when they don't rest or come out to do anything?
Li Xun's heart moved suddenly, and he felt the smell of the trap, but judging from the strength of the soul fire, the 10 people in the sentry were just ordinary people, and there were no professionals, so they could kill them by force, and they wanted to kill the mage by relying on such a trap?
Li Xun looked around, vigilantly began to lie on the ground and slowly retreated, and after leaving the sight of the mountain bag, he began to slowly walk in a circle with the mountain bag as the center, and sure enough, in a hidden col nearly 1 mile on the outer side of the mountain bag, dense red dots appeared in the soul vision!
This col is not like a temporary search, there are more than a dozen wooden houses in it, and there are people on guard around the col, although there are always people moving, but they rarely make sounds, it looks extremely hidden, if there is no guidance from the soul vision, Li Xun really can't find it. Li Xun made a simple estimate, there are seventy or eighty people, based on this, the blood axe thieves group has a total of 5 peripheral posts, and most of the people should have been dispatched to set up an ambush last night, hehe, what a big stroke, if he didn't have the prophetic vision of the soul, maybe he was really surrounded and killed from the rear when he stormed the outpost!
Li Xun sneered twice, since you have scattered all the people, the camp is probably relatively empty, I can't eat meat, so I have to go to the camp to make trouble, maybe I can take the opportunity to explore the way.
The idea was made, Li Xun immediately turned around and went straight to the camp of the blood axe's lair.
All the way through the forest and over the slope, under the cover of the mist, Li Xun began to circle around the hill where the Blood Axe Camp was located, looking for weak points in the defense and seeing how to sneak in. It's a pity that I didn't reach level 4 and couldn't learn the level 2 spell "stealth", otherwise why would I use such trouble!
From early morning to now, Li Xun got up to hunt with great interest, walked nearly 20 miles of mountain roads before and after, and had to surround a hill around the mountain, Rao is a 17-year-old young man is full of energy, and the soles of his feet are a little weak along the way, only wheezing and panting, so he has to find a safe place to rest and eat and drink.
Astelli's Blood Axe still has some vision! The hill I chose is really good. The surroundings are steep, there is only a mountain path in front of it, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack, the last time the principality troops surrounded and suppressed, even if they were not ambushed, they really blocked the thieves in the camp, and it was not easy to attack it!
Along the way, the hill is already steep, the slope is more than 80 degrees, and the blood axe also ordered people to clean up some easy to climb places on the slope wall, so difficult may not be difficult for thieves, but it can stump Li Xun, who has no tools and clumsy hands and feet. The height of the hill is not low, the lowest slope wall after trimming is 30 meters, and the height is 50 meters, which is simply an alternative city wall!
