Chapter 94 93. Escape from the tiger's mouth
A gust of wind blows, and a few fallen leaves slowly fall down.
The soldiers of the second team in the clearing had no time to deal with the corpses of the twelve heavy armored infantry soldiers, so they could only temporarily find some huge banana leaves to cover their faces, and then they packed up and quickly left from the location of the third sentry post. evacuate.
Suldak led the second team back along the mountain road. The dense forest full of insects and birds became extremely quiet. The soldiers advanced along the mountain road. They carefully guarded the surroundings and tried to quickly pass through the quiet Some scary mountains.
When he was about to reach the ridge, He Boqiang felt his heart beating faster for no reason.
He stopped and checked the dense forests on the left and right sides, but found nothing unusual.
Suldak didn't notice that He Boqiang stopped. He was at the front of the team. In order to pass the mountain as soon as possible, he ordered all the soldiers in the team to march quickly.
Going seventy or eighty meters further is the highest point of this mountain. From the height of the mountain, you can clearly see the camp in the distance.
Suldak felt a hand pressing down on his shoulder.
He turned his head to look, only to find that He Boqiang was chasing him from behind.
Seeing the serious expression on He Boqiang's face, Suldak realized that there was a situation, and quickly reached out to stop all the soldiers of the second team.
"Little Duck, what's wrong?"
He Boqiang reached out and patted the linen bag hanging on Suerdak's waist, and then pointed to the road ahead.
The linen bag on Suldak's waist contained the head of an evil spirit. He saw He Boqiang's movements and thought for a while before he understood what He Boqiang wanted to express:
"You mean you can't go any further, there are evil spirits in ambush ahead?"
He Boqiang nodded with a serious face.
Suldak looked at the mountain in front of him with some hesitation. As long as he climbed the mountain, he was actually within the sight range of the watchtower of the camp.
Suldak had a hard time deciding whether to take all the soldiers of the second team to rush over in one go, or to temporarily change the plan and lead the second team to detour around this mountain.
In front is a pass that is easy to pass through. If you give up passing through this pass and want to go back to the camp, you have to walk at least ten kilometers further on the mountain road, and no one knows what is hidden on the ten kilometers of mountain road Such a danger.
The soldiers of the second team didn't interrupt in a hurry. They gathered around Suldak, quietly waiting for him to make a decision.
The fighters put the utmost trust in Suldak.
For Suldak, this kind of trust is not only an honor, but also a great responsibility.
The dense forest ahead was silent, and the bearded Kegel also sensed a hint of danger. He was carrying a small round shield behind him, and the small shield was already in his hand at the moment.
"We go around on the left..."
Suldak thought for a while, and finally decided to take a detour regardless of whether there were evil spirits ambush ahead.
There are no roads on both sides of the mountains, and they are covered with wild grass and bushes.
The team got into the bushes beside the path, and forcibly used their long leather boots to open a path.
The bushes in the woodland are covered with thorns and vines. In order to pass through this seabuckthorn bush smoothly, the warriors walking in the front need to cut off the vines blocking the road with hatchets. Sometimes this can also drive away the poisonous snakes hiding in the grass.
The team walked westward for nearly two kilometers along the northern **** of the mountain. The other name of the mountain is a deep valley that cannot be crossed. The camp is on a hillside opposite the deep valley. Beyond the pass, go west along this mountain for seven or eight kilometers, and there is another pass.
Infantry soldiers are heavily armored and are not suitable for long-distance trekking. It is difficult to take a step in the bushes full of weeds without cutting off some vines.
There were many mosquitoes in the weeds, and some small black beetles landed on the armor, and penetrated into the clothes through the gaps in the armor, causing pain and itching.
The monster leather armor worn by He Boqiang showed a huge advantage at this time. Perhaps there were some ghosts of monsters left on the leather armor. These little bugs dare not approach He Boqiang at all. They will all scatter around with a 'buzz'.
The second team went to a higher mountain ridge, Suldak ordered the soldiers of the second team to rest where they were, and the guard post fell on Augustus.
Augustus jumped onto a huge boulder and looked at the pass hidden in the dense bushes behind him from a distance. He didn't feel anything at first.
But when he took another look, his jaw almost dropped in shock.
A group of evil spirits came out of the dense forest at the pass and ran among the mountains and trees.
They are tall, and when walking through the dense forest, the purple-red body of the evil spirit can sometimes be revealed in the gaps in the forest. In that mountain, a group of green-billed chickadees flew from the forest and flew overwhelmingly to the opposite mountain forest , should have been frightened by the evil spirits and flew away. I don't know how many evil spirits are hiding in that forest. When I passed by there before, I didn't find any abnormalities.
Augustus pointed to the mountain in the distance, and said in a voiceless voice: "Our area...they are really ambushing on the other side of the pass. Fortunately, we didn't go there, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
The bearded Cagle said to Augustus standing on the height of the boulder:
"Let's go quickly, they seem to be looking for us, don't let them see."
Suldak looked at the lush bushes around him, and after a long time, he frowned and said:
"There are no cinnamon trees around here, so it's hard to cover up our smell, and we've made a path through the wild grass, and we'll probably be spotted soon. They run much faster than us, and it won't be long before we touch them , we need to get out of here quickly."
The soldiers of the second team immediately gathered from the forest when they heard what Suldak said.
The bearded Kagel walked out of the team and said to Suldak: "Wait a minute, Captain, I plan to set a trap here, as a small surprise for them..."
After finishing speaking, he cut two vines from the woodland, dragged the vines out, and started to set up soil traps according to the existing environment.
Suldak frowned, but he didn't say anything to stop him. Instead, he urged the bearded Cagle, "Hurry up, we don't have much time!"
Seeing that Suldak agreed to come down, the bearded Cagle patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, captain."
…
Not long after the second team evacuated from the mountain, a team of evil ghosts chased up along the path stepped on by the second team.
Every step is very big, looking a little out of breath.
The evil ghost of the team leader was carrying a giant ax with barbs in his hand, and the black magic pattern on his body was obviously much more than other evil ghosts.
As soon as he got out of the barren grass, the evil spirit saw an unburned bonfire in the forest. He strode towards the bonfire without paying attention to a vine under his feet, and tripped over it, following the instructions of the evil spirits. According to experience, these nasty vines can be torn off directly with brute force, and it does the same.
It's just that the vine didn't seem to have the slightest strength, just as the foot touched the vine, the vine quickly pulled away like a snake...
Before the evil ghost could react, it felt like the world was spinning for a while. Its feet were actually entangled by vines, and its whole body fell down due to a huge pulling force, and its center of gravity was unstable. midair...
The evil spirits following it looked at the scene in front of them in a daze...
