Chapter 35: A dilemma
Xing Shan is very proud, but there is no doubt that he has proud capital, he is the youngest of the Blue Scorpion several deputy commanders, but he is also the most brilliant one among the several deputy commanders, in a few years, he has commanded no less than 100 large and small battles, and it is these countless battles that have achieved the title of Xingshan Blue Scorpion God of War, and it has also become his proud capital.
"So what do you say?" Although Lina is very reluctant to look at Xing Shan's stinky face, it must be admitted that in terms of command and combat ability, Xing Shan is by no means a little stronger than her.
"Go back!" Xing Shan pointed to the way he came and said firmly, "The best situation is that we go all out to rush back, leave the canyon the same way before dark, set up camp at the south entrance of the canyon, and wait until dawn to recruit enough thieves to continue the journey, but if Pearson is really a spy, then according to my estimation, the road behind us should have been blocked, in that case, we can only immediately deploy in the same place, I hope that the remaining time is enough for us to make some defensive measures." ”
As a knight, Xing Shan does not have the strong perception of thieves and hunters, but his foresight of the situation is not comparable to ordinary people, after a brief communication with several other core members of the caravan, Lusa and Payne were recalled, they formed a pathfinder team with several hunters, and quickly explored the rear along the original road, but the tragedy is that several people ran back after less than five minutes, The reason is that they just walked on the road, I don't know when a small number of traps came out, and now the caravan is like a caged bird trapped in the forest with traps, neither advancing nor retreating.
Life is like QJ, when you can't resist, you need to learn to face reality! For the Cadoma caravan, with all the people in front and behind being blocked, the only choice they had was to face reality.
The caravan set up camp in a relatively open area, Lina asked the caravan personnel to pile up all the supplies in one place, and then set up tents around the materials to surround the supplies, while Xing Shan led the mercenary group to set up some simple traps in the surrounding area to prevent accidents.
When everyone in the caravan was busy in a tense and orderly manner, Wu Song, who had been brewing a bad stomach, was not idle, he activated the perspective function of the auxiliary device and did a comprehensive X-ray examination of the bodies of several core members of the caravan.
Perspective is another major function of the auxiliary device, the main function of this function is to find the weak point of the target through perspective, as long as the perspective function is turned on, you can clearly see the target's heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and even where the defense ability is weak.
When Wu Song first came into contact with the perspective function, he thought that this ability was the same as the kind of perspective glasses sold in the global village that were specially used for peeping ~ voyeurism, in order to satisfy the eye addiction, he even specially found an adventurer MM to experiment, but when the adventurer MM's heart, liver, lungs, and even the undigested food in the stomach and intestines were all presented in the eyes of Dirty Wu, Dirty Wu vomited a lot of noise, and since then, as a last resort, he basically did not use the perspective function of the auxiliary device.
Wu Song used the perspective function of the auxiliary device this time, but it was not to observe the opponent's weaknesses, but to probe the whereabouts of the magic energy star iron, in practical application Wu Song found that the perspective function can not only see through the human body, but can even see through the storage space, but Wu Song encountered some trouble in this perspective, he was very smooth when he saw through Lina, but when he saw through Xing Shan, Wu Song found that Xing Shan seemed to have something that could interfere with the perspective, Five meters away from Xingshan, even if the perspective function is enabled, the vision is blurry, and in desperation, this guy can only take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the periphery with the mercenaries to arrange a defensive offensive.
The thief is a good hand at dismantling the mechanism, and the thief is also a good hand at arranging the mechanism, after determining that the back road was also cut off, Xing Shan no longer has too many doubts about Wu Song, he originally had the intention to let Wu Song also help arrange a few traps, and now Wu Song took the initiative to ask to join, Xing Shan naturally has no reason to refuse.
The main reason why Wu Song took the initiative to become a coolie was to determine whether the piece of magic energy Xingchen Iron was on Xing Shan's body, but it was not only because he joined the fortification team because of this.
Wu Song's voyeurism work went smoothly, and under the guise of coordinating the traps, he completed a full-body scan of Xing Shan within a few minutes, but after getting the results he wanted, Wu Song still conscientiously helped the caravan set up traps. In his calculations, there must be a tough battle between the caravan and the bandits of the Black Pine Mountain Gang tonight, Wu Song did not want the caravan to occupy a defensive advantage and repel the bandits, so he made a trick in each trap he set, these traps look no different from normal traps on the surface, but the damage to the target after triggering is much smaller than normal traps.
Wu Song and the mercenaries set up the trap together, and it was already dark, according to the old rules of the caravan, all adventurers and mercenaries had to participate in the night duty when camping in the wilderness. The night duty of the Kadomo caravan was divided into two groups in the first half of the night and the second half of the night, Wu Song was too tired to explore the road for a day, so he had to apply for duty in the second half of the night, and Xing Shan, as the commander-in-chief, agreed to Wu Song's request without any hesitation.
The night in the canyon is not peaceful, the night is the time for the mutants to hunt, many mutants dormant in the Frankish Mountains during the day will come out at night to find food, West Francian Gorge is a good place to hunt.
The first half of the night was quite moist for Wu Song, and while the patrols fought the mutated creatures in the forest, Wu Song lay down in his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
Late at night, with a whining sound, Wu Song opened his eyes, it was the short whistle of the mercenaries calling his teammates to get up and change shifts, and Wu Song realized that the rest time was over.
The night sentries were divided into two squads, with men with low perception such as warrior mages defending at close range, who were mainly responsible for waking up other teammates and protecting supplies in times of danger, while those with strong perception such as thieves and hunters were responsible for long-range reconnaissance and reporting to the caravan in the event of an enemy attack.
Wu Song is a thief, and his perception ability is one of his strengths, so Wu Song has become one of the long-distance scouts without any suspense, and this guy was arranged by Xing Shan to be responsible for monitoring the jungle area on the southwest side of the camp.
