Become a martial girl

Chapter 27 Mountain Exploration
The journey of these three days has been completed without knowing it.As time went by, the surrounding scenery changed from plains at the beginning to hills.The road also started to get steeper and steeper.On the morning of the fourth day, when everyone left the camp, they did not leave the camp, but left their entourage to take care of them.All the cumbersome items in the hands are also placed in the camp.Because they have now arrived at the destination Bloody Valley, and they will start looking for the lair of the Black Flame Snake gang today.

"Okay, although I said it last night, I will repeat it briefly now."

Standing behind a hill with a wide view, Edward said slowly to the 67 mercenaries under him.

"The reason why we were able to get information about the Black Flame Snake this time is because we captured two members of the Black Flame Snake before and learned the location of the organization's base from their mouths. But their mouths are very hard, and we cannot guarantee them The information provided is completely correct. It is more likely that there are countless traps hidden in the middle of this valley. But confirming the traps and searching the dens of thieves is exactly what we people came here for. This journey is dangerous, and now it is the last abstention Time. Leave now, I will not blame any of you. And if you stay, you must carry out my order without any doubt, and no disobedience is allowed."

The mercenaries either sat on the ground or sat on trees.In short, no one left.A few resolute howls of eagles from the air were enough to demonstrate everyone's determination.

Edward nodded and continued: "Very good. Now there are 68 people here, divide them into seventeen groups and start searching the mountain separately, with four people in each group. You can freely distribute according to the mercenary group you belong to or other factors. During the search If you find suspicious places during the process, mark them well, and don’t rush to investigate. Everyone will meet here again in the evening and provide your own information. Do you understand?...In this case, the operation begins.”

Some mercenaries who had already been divided into groups nodded and left through the woods.The rest left one after another after simple grouping.Just when Mengdie was gearing up to find a team to form, Edward patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"with you?"

Edward pulled another middle-aged magician couple and nodded awkwardly at Mengdie.

The search in the woods proceeded with care and speed.Mengdie moved very quickly. Although her body's various abilities had been reduced to the minimum, as a warrior, her experience of going through life and death many times made her fully aware of what she was doing now.Her eyes kept searching the bare hillside and the dense bushes, and her steps were as light as a silent night owl.

"Summoned beast, chinchilla."

The husband of the magician couple drew a circle with his hands and softly recited a few spells.After a while, a little chinchilla appeared in his palm.After exhorting a few words in the ear of the chinchilla, the magician put it on the ground, and the little chinchilla burrowed into the grass ahead full of spirituality.After waiting silently for a few minutes, a small ball of light that appeared in the magician's hand suddenly went out.

The magician couple looked at each other and nodded at Mengdie and Edward.Just when Edward was still hesitating whether to continue walking forward, Mengdie had already jumped up to a nearby tree and jumped gently to the place where the chinchilla disappeared.

"A bear trap. A simple, but useful trap."

After observing the position of the traps, Mengdie jumped down the tree, nodded to Edward and the others, lowered her body and walked around the traps into the grass.Edward and the couple followed closely behind.The traps discovered along the way began to become more and more dense.Clearly, they were headed in the right direction.

"Little sister, you are very sensitive to combat and danger. Where did you learn these skills?"

The female magician walked to Mengdie and asked softly.

Mengdie didn't answer right away.She stretched out her fingers to feel the humidity of the soil. After a long time, she turned around and said to the three people behind her, "The soil is very wet and loose. If I guessed right, there is a cliff nearby. When walking Please be careful with it."

After finishing speaking, Mengdie turned her head, her vigilant eyes continued to search every corner of her surroundings, and said lightly: "I learned it myself. What's wrong?"

The female magician was taken aback for a moment, and looked at her husband without answering.

After walking for another distance, the original rule of setting traps almost every tens of meters suddenly disappeared.After walking nearly [-] meters continuously on the top of the mountain, the trap did not reappear.Mengdie thought for a while, then stopped.Edward walked to her side, not daring to disturb her thinking, but just looked at her silently.And the couple looked at Edward and Mengdie with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

"Oh, so that's the case."

Mengdie clapped her hands and smiled.

"It's already past noon? Ladies and gentlemen, can we have dinner first?"

Edward was slightly taken aback, and it took a long time to understand what Mengdie said.He looked at the sky and nodded immediately.After questioning the couple, the group of four sat down on the spot, distributed dry food, and began a short rest.

The female magician put her hands on the ground and muttered to herself.After a while, drops of water began to appear on the originally dark soil.As these small water droplets gradually converge, they begin to rise and float in the air, forming a water source that is purer than filtered.Edward took out the bowl, moved it under the liquid, and smiled at the female mage friendly.The magician responded with a grin, and some water flowed from the floating liquid into the bowl without fail.

The four gathered together, eating and drinking in silence.It seems that everyone has something on their face.When Mengdie took a bite of dry food and drank a bowl of water, there would always be a smile on the corner of her mouth that seemed to understand something.Edward, on the other hand, watched Mengdie's expression silently. He was so fascinated by the way she ate, and couldn't understand the smile on her mouth.The couple stared at them intently, their eyes flickering.
