A contingent of about 70 people marched silently through the Gap Rift.

The whistling knife wind is fierce and cold, and from time to time you can see that the surrounding mountain wall or the earth suddenly has another scratch or something like that, which is no longer weathering, but a real knife cut. But the amazing thing is that when these swords blew in front of everyone, they only rippled like an ordinary breeze, and did not leave any traces on these people's bodies.

As for the scene in front of them, the people in this team don't know if they are tired of seeing it, so they simply turn a blind eye.

The atmosphere is a little depressing and gloomy.

There is even a faint hint of a discordant atmosphere such as a confrontation.

Vamis walked behind the team, silently scanning the entire team, but sighed helplessly in his heart, and his mood was quite complicated.

He has nearly four years of experience in the wilderness, which is not an easy thing to survive for so long in a place like the wilderness, where the climate and environment are harsh, and there are often things like black eating black. So this is also the reason why anyone who can survive in the wilderness for more than two years will be hired by those nobles who are interested in interfering in the slave hunting business.

And even with such an army, you have to withstand an almost tragic battle loss ratio.

If you can't bear this psychological pressure, then you can only play small-scale slave hunting.

Therefore, here in the wilderness, the number of slave hunters is usually maintained at about 100 people, and the highest is only 2 or 300 people. However, this number is actually nothing to be feared by the slave hunters in the wilderness, at least it cannot form a quantitative deterrent, so even if it is a fight such as black eating black. No slave catcher ever flinched – in fact, neither in a place like the Savages.

Because there is no way back.

However, these are not the reasons why Vamis sighs, he has been the leader of a slave catcher for nearly a year, and his experience is naturally good. What he really helpless about is that the current team is not the team he has always led.

In the last slave hunting mission, his harvest was not bad, capturing dozens of gray elves from a small tribe and a few orcs who are said to have the blood of Beamon, this wealth is quite considerable, not to mention hundreds of thousands of gold coins must be credited to the account. However, they clashed with two slave catchers. In the end, it was only with the rich experience of Vamis and the strength of the team that he finally avoided the end of the group and brought these slaves back smoothly.

It's just that his team is on the verge of disbandment, and the slave hunting team of about 100 people has less than 30 people who came back alive. Slave hunting is inherently very dangerous, so the people of the slave hunting team can only accept such a result. According to the rules, they were given at least a year's rest period, which was to allow Vamis to recruit new slave catchers. Then targeted cultivation and training. And a process and time to run in with the old team.

But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but this time they didn't get such a recuperation period. In the second month after his return, he was summoned by the lord he was working for, who then gave him another slave hunting team, telling him to combine the two teams and immediately set off into the wilderness to hunt slaves. This had never happened before, so Vamis was naturally curious. However, he could hear the urgency in the lord's voice, and his attitude was obviously tough, and he could not allow him to refuse, so he could only lead the two teams to set off immediately.

In fact, this kind of thing is for the slave catchers. It's not nothing, but it's not usually a liege who does it.

Because a slave catching team is a small group, and two slave catching teams are forcibly fused together, so who will be the leader? If this problem is not solved, it will inevitably lead to internal problems, after all, the position of leader is not only a manifestation of power, but also has many other advantages, such as the right to distribute - after the slave catcher captures the slave and sells it by the lord, he can get half of the honorarium, and the specific distribution of this reward is distributed by the chief.

The one who contributes more and the most can naturally get a higher reward.

Two slave catchers are mixed together, and under normal circumstances, the leader will definitely favor the slave catcher team he has been leading, and it is very difficult to be fair and just.

So if it was a slave catcher team with little experience, Vamis would not have such a headache, but this other slave catcher team also had more than two years of experience in surviving in the wilderness, and they were sent to Vamis by this lord because the old leader died in battle - according to common sense, it should be this slave catcher team that elects a new leader, not two slave catchers combined.

The situation is a bit more complicated.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Vamis's heart, and he didn't know how eager the lord he was working for would be. However, he knew very well that if he wanted to gain something this time and leave the Savage Land alive, then he had to find a way to eliminate this barrier and let the two slave catchers completely merge into a whole, only in this way could he survive in the environment of the Savage Land.

And the best way to solve this problem is to enter the wilderness and find a slave hunter to fight the gang, or attack a tribe, so that the two sides can exchange each other for a little war. Only in this way will it be possible for these two slave catchers to accept each other's existence, and then slowly run in for two or three months, and Vamis thinks that this should be about the same.

Of course, it's not without merit that both teams are veterans.

At least they knew exactly what to do and what not to do, and they didn't need to be reminded by Vamis.

Soon, the team came to a huge cave.

Several scouts stood in front of the cave and gestured, and Vamis breathed a sigh of relief, the gesture meant that there was no one in the cave. So the team walked into the cave in silence, and the scouts walked ahead with torches, and the team followed, and in front they had chosen a relatively clean place to set up a simple makeshift camp, and also set up boilers and other things, and there were piles of firewood in the cave. Feel free to take it.

These firewood are all prepared by other slave catching teams, which can be regarded as a default unspoken rule.

When any slave catcher team leaves the wilderness and wants to pass through the Gorge Rift, they must collect a batch of firewood and pile it up to facilitate other slave catchers passing through here. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in this cave, that is, no fighting is allowed here, and the first provocateur will be attacked by the other slave catchers in the cave.

Of course, there are a lot of tricks to this unwritten rule.

For example, at this moment, if there is a slave hunting team in this cave, it has already returned. And if there is a lot of gain, and there are only them and another slave hunter in the cave, then a fierce battle is very likely. It was here that Vamis clashed with the second slave hunter, but he didn't let everyone in the team sleep to death because of his experience, so he managed to kill them all. But it also came at a heavy price.

"Let's just take a break here, and the next day is going to be very difficult." Vamis lifted his hood. Revealing a face with a slight vicissitudes of life. His voice was a little hoarse and said, "Everyone is a veteran, and it's not the first time to take this road, so if there is any situation that you also know, I won't say anything more." …… It's okay to warm up with some wine, but be sure to keep the amount right. I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and see someone getting drunk. ”

……

Almost at the same time, Sean and the others, who had sped up their pace, finally completed the convergence with the werewolf and gray elf who were in charge of reconnaissance in front.

"What's the situation?" Sean asked.

"The other party just entered the No. 1 fire hole ten minutes ago." The werewolf, who had retreated from the mouth of the cave, spoke, "I smell the smell of food and wine, and they must be warming up. ”

This cave. It's what Andrei called a resting base.

Because of the mountain wind problem in the Gorge Rift, there will be a long distance in the middle of the road to be within the range of this furious sword wind, and in such an environment, there is naturally no way to rest and eat, so someone has made three caves in this section of the mountain wind. The slave catchers can borrow these three caves for rest, but in order to prevent some accidents, these caves do not have only one entrance, but a road similar to a road, and there are more than six entrances and exits, allowing the slave catchers to choose the location they leave at will, and using these caves can shorten the journey by about two days at most.

You must know that this journey covered by the fierce mountain wind is seven days, and it is not easy to shorten the journey by two days.

However, as the first cave that can be sheltered from the wind, there are not so many entrances and exits, only three. However, under normal circumstances, the slave catchers will go directly to the third exit to leave the cave, and then walk for about a day to reach the second cave, and it is naturally impossible to stop to eat in the process, so they must eat before leaving the cave.

And I don't know what the reason is, the temperature in the cave is much lower, probably close to sub-zero, even if the cloak on the body is specially made to protect against the cold, but the effect is not much better, so there will be a custom of drinking in the cave to warm up, these are the experience of the slave capture team.

Sean turned his head to look at Andre, after all, he was much more experienced than himself.

As if feeling Sean's gaze, Andre spoke: "Just ten minutes after entering the cave, you can cook food and start warming up, judging from the other party's approach, it should be a more cautious and experienced type, so he will definitely arrange for someone to keep vigil in shifts." However, it also shows that he wants to save time, otherwise he should let everyone relax after entering the cave before they start warming up and chatting......"

"They didn't talk, it was quiet inside the cave." One of the gray elves added, as if he had already known what Andre wanted to ask.

"In this way, either they have an urgent matter, or this slave catching team has not completely run in." "Whatever the case may be, it's good for us. We can wait outside for two or three hours before entering, and then launch a surprise attack to catch the other side off guard, because by this time those who have already fallen asleep will fall asleep from the strength of the wine, and the people in charge of the vigil will start to get sleepy from the strength of the night. ”

"Very well, then let's do it!" Sean even agreed to Andre's plan. (To be continued.) )

PS: After I came back at nine o'clock in the evening, I immediately started to rush the manuscript, and I finally caught up. …… I had a lot of things to do today, but I only slept for three hours, so I was really tired. But I've at least fulfilled my promise.,The two chapters I promised every day are updated normally.,For the sake of me being so diligent.,Vote for me a monthly pass, right?
