Doom: Liver experience from hunting

Chapter 66: If the general does not arrive, he will never make a move!
General Zhou felt that what Tang Wen said was reasonable: "Old Zhao, why don't you work hard?"

"Okay." General Zhao agreed simply.

Before dark, General Zhao and six commanders gathered in the guard camp of the outer city.

Tang Wen assigned tasks to the leaders, and arranged for everyone to go in groups of two and two to watch separately: the scavenger camp, the section of the road from the hunter camp to the west forest, and the path in the forest by the lake.

After the scavengers disappeared several times, their footprints appeared on the above-mentioned three road sections.

In the afternoon, the camp master opened a small stove for Tang Wen and the others.

After the meat is full, the sky is completely dark.

Before going out, General Zhao came to see them off.

Tang Wen suddenly had an idea, looked at the high stone wall of the camp and said, "Everyone, let's not go through the gate, let's go over the wall!"

"Hey! Over the wall?"

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

The six commanders greeted the guards and sneaked down from the stone wall.

Seeing the disappearing figures of the crowd, General Zhao showed a satisfied smile, turned his head and said to Commander Zhang, "Tang Wen has a lot of tricks, and at critical moments, he can always give you some new tricks!"

"Hope they're doing well."

To the west of the flame camp is the scavenger camp.

Further west, there is a large lake.

The lake is bottomless, and according to common sense, there must be fish and shrimp.

But not even the hungriest scavengers come here to fish.

First, the shore is a cliff several meters high.

Smooth and precipitous, nowhere to rely on.

It is very dangerous to go up and down.

Furthermore, it turned out that in summer, many scavengers used rope ladders to climb down to swim.

As a result, giant monsters appeared under the lake, with sharp steel teeth and a huge mouth like a boat, swallowing people one by one, and the lake was dyed red.

Since then, everyone has kept a respectful distance from this great lake.

Tang Wen and the two looked over from a distance.

There was no light at night, and the lake was dark, like a bottomless abyss.

Tang Wen whispered: "No matter how severe the drought is, such a big lake will never dry up, right?"

If the lake is not dry, we can find a way to irrigate the farmland.

For example, get a rickshaw or something?

His thoughts just diverged.

But Zhou Bing shook his head slightly: "The old man in the camp said that as long as it doesn't rain for a while, the lake will dry up. It seems to be connected to some kind of dark river."

Tang Wen sighed in disappointment.

The two didn't speak any more, they walked along the lake, walking like flying.

In less than half an hour, they came to the place where the footprints of the scavengers were found.

The forest at night is darker.

But it doesn't affect their sight at all.

On the ground, large and small footprints were mixed together.

There are adults and children, all barefoot.

"It's really insane, such a small child has to be kidnapped!"

"Maybe it's to catch the child first and then threaten the family." Tang Wen said casually.

"The scavengers are extremely hungry. It is common for them to change their children for food, and they may not be threatened by this kind of threat."

"It's not coercion, is it a lure?"

"Combine the two."

Tang Wen nodded: "It makes sense, anyway, those scavengers have nothing to lose."

The two stopped communicating, leaned against the same tree, and silently observed their surroundings.

In the middle of the night, the forest is as silent as a morgue.

Whoosh!
A black shadow flew overhead.

Zhou Bing raised his head and said softly, "The red-eyed crow."

Tang Wen frowned, and looked in the direction where it disappeared: "I seem to have seen this kind of crow a few times recently."

"Well, I saw it too. This red-eyed crow is also called a blood crow. It flies around at night." Zhou Bing inferred casually: "Blood crows fly in groups. single."

Tang Wen still frowned, and had a bold idea in his heart.

No way?
Could it be that the eyes of the hunting team are the blood crows?
Could it be that the ability of the awakened person in the dark is the beast master?

Zhou Bing, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly felt that his palm was being held.

Then, Tang Wen put his head next to her white and crystal-clear earlobe, and the warm breath hit Zhou Bing's heart, and the deer bumped wildly: No, no?Execute the task!it's here?
In the next second, Tang Wen expressed his guess in a soft voice.

The deer in Zhou Bing's heart calmed down.

"You think it's a blood crow?" She felt incredible.

Tang Wendao: "Exclude all possibilities, then the only explanation left is the truth, no matter how outrageous it is."

Zhou Bing paused for a while, then looked at him: "Okay, if it's the blood crow, what should we do now?"

"Well, you go back and find General Zhao, and then we will catch up."

"No!" As expected, Zhou Bing refused.

She wanted to stay, but Tang Wen didn't agree.

Zhou Bing clenched his hand: "The two of us will go back to find General Zhao together. After all, awakened people may be involved, so we should be more cautious."

Tang Wen wanted this answer.

"Let's go, boo!"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Wen suddenly raised his fingers and squatted gently on the ground.

Zhou Bing also noticed something, following his example, the two put their ears close to the ground.

"Tap Tap"

A slight but regular vibration came.

"It's the sound of horseshoes. It should be wrapped in thick cloth." Zhou Bing judged with experience.

Whoosh!
A blood crow flew overhead again in the opposite direction.

The two remained motionless, squatting on the ground.

Tang Wen felt it with his heart, um, he didn't feel frightened, he didn't feel any anxiety or danger.

Is it because the enemy hasn't found me yet?

He changed his mind, the enemy used the blood crow to hide from the previous hunting guards.

This shows that they certainly do not have very powerful masters.

Otherwise, just come forward and talk to the flame camp.

No need to be so sneaky.

So, will this awakened person who envoys the red-eyed crow be a general-level master?

Tang Wen shook his head.

General-level masters come and go without a trace.

This kind of strong man needs to deliberately avoid the hunting team under him?

I'm afraid that with just one breath, the hunting team will die.

He had an idea in mind, and said to Zhou Bing: "You go back and report the letter, and I will follow them."

Without waiting for Zhou Bing to object, he quickly said: "I am fast, able to fight and walk. But at your speed, it will take less than an hour for General Zhao to come back to the camp to report the news. I will not do anything during this hour! "

"Really?"

"Ah."

"wait me back."

Zhou Bing touched his cheek, and the cat walked away, like an elegant and nimble female leopard.

Tang Wen cheered up and walked into the darker forest.

He made up his mind in his heart, just follow from afar, and he will never make a move if the general doesn't arrive.

Even if the opponent looks very weak, he can't make a move. What if we startle the snake?

This is the clue that I finally squatted on!

Thinking of this, he chose a big tree with dense branches and climbed up.

A few minutes later, Tang Wen saw through the gaps between the leaves, a team of ten people, leading dozens of ponies, rattled through the forest.

He narrowed his eyes, well, at first glance, he was not strong.

Take a closer look, uh, it's not as good as at first glance!

They walked in front of me, and I didn't feel any fear at all.

Intuition told Tang Wen that if he made a surprise move at this time, he might even have a chance of winning.

But Tang Wen had no plans to make a move.

When the other party walked away, there was no shadow of the blood crow in the sky.

He ran down the tree slowly, listening to the voice and following the other party.

It doesn't matter if you can't see the shadow, but if you can hear it, it's fine if you don't lose track.

But after just a few minutes, suddenly, the sound of horseshoes stopped.
