Since they have already planned to be the oriole, they will naturally not make a big fanfare and go out in a swarm. The final plan was finalized, with Mr. Duo personally taking charge and leading the three top fighting forces in Wangqing Valley.
Since this battle is destined not to be solved by brute force, it can only be solved by trickery. Since it is a trick, bringing too many people will only add to the confusion, resulting in a target that is too big and will easily lead to suspicion.
Jiang Yue and the others stayed at the inn, creating a scene where everyone was resting at the inn.
It's not that Jiang Yue doesn't want to go to the scene to help, but it's really inconvenient for Jiang Yue to participate in the battle. If he had participated, he could have robbed this property alone. But in that case, his strength will definitely be exposed and arouse Duoye's suspicion.
In this case, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted?
Now that the plan has been finalized, everyone will naturally implement it strictly. Jiang Yue did not go overboard and do more extraneous things.
With Duo Ye's strength, if he can keep his composure and wait until both groups are injured before taking action, the probability of success is still high.
Arranging three masters from Wangqing Valley to accompany Duo Ye is actually not to act together with Duo Ye, but to make some echoes and add an insurance policy.
If Mr. Duo misses, they can serve as a follow-up strike force and participate in some pursuit and interception work.
And if Master Duo succeeds, they will be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath and cleaning up the scene.
It can be said that Duo Ye and Jiang Yue have already considered many factors that can be taken into consideration. Several unexpected possibilities were even deduced.
We have made such solid preparations in all aspects. Whether we can succeed or not, we can only leave it to fate and see how lucky we are.
At least Jiang Yue felt that given their current conditions, it was impossible to do better. Unless he takes action personally.
Of course, they can't just sit around in the inn. After all, he shows up from time to time to inadvertently gain some sense of presence. In this way, they would at least have an alibi when the incident happened.
Although there are still some flaws and loopholes in doing this, it can be considered as trying our best.
…
As for Yuntu and his group, they left the inn early in the morning and checked out, obviously heading to the Jiangli Mountains. This is consistent with the information Jiang Yue obtained.
They had to arrive at the Jiangli Mountains before noon and take the teleportation gate.
Half a day is enough to leave the city and go to the mountains. After all, Yun Tu and his group would definitely not hesitate to hire the fastest horsepower.
There are about fifty people in the group, including about ten core members, and the rest are locally hired bodyguards and adventurers.
This kind of bodyguard mission is often a mission issued by the Adventurer's Guild. For a mission like Cloud Atlas, the protection mission is at least six-star, so the combat effectiveness of the bodyguard team will definitely not be bad.
In addition, the core team itself also has good combat effectiveness. As a result, the combat effectiveness of this caravan is actually very strong, and it is by no means easy to make decisions.
Unless you dispatch a large-scale mobile force to intercept and kill openly, like the Arrow Wolf tribe.
But this is the territory of the Yaohua tribe. It is obviously impossible and taboo to openly pursue and kill them like the Arrow Wolf tribe.
Last night, Duo Ye, Jiang Yue and others deduced the geographical location along the way, and they identified several areas where ambush was most likely. To be an oriole, you must also be a clever oriole. If the geographical location is not well surveyed and the ambush is not in place, but instead is noticed by the mantis and cicada, it will be embarrassing if the offensive and defensive positions change. It's hard to say who the poor cicada is.
Duoye's cautious character really came into play at this time.
The Yuntu group also entered the Jiangli Mountains as promised. The portal is located at the intersection of the Lishan Mountains, along a mountain road of at least one or two hundred miles, and will pass through several remote mountain passes and dangerous places along the way.
At this moment, a mysterious team is ambushing in this place called Yunchou Ao. The number of this group of people was only a few dozen, but the ambush formation was perfectly arranged. An expert would know at a glance that this must be a veteran of ambushes.
And each of these ambushes has extraordinary skills, and you can tell at a glance that they are not mediocre. The most important thing is that each of these people has a bloodthirsty murderous aura, which shows that killing is a common occurrence for them.
There is no doubt that the target of this group of ambushers is the group of businessmen in Yuntu.
Duoye is a yellow bird, and his Baoshu clan bloodline comes into play at this time. After he used the spirit vines to detect these ambushers, he no longer approached them. Instead, he hid ten kilometers away and used the spirit vines for remote observation.
In this deep mountain and old forest, it is surrounded by vines. Duoye arranged some spiritual vines to be mixed in, which can be called tailor-made. No special arrangements are even required.
For Duo Ye, this is undoubtedly a showcase of his strengths.
Yuntu's group of people are obviously not vegetarians either. Several elite combat forces in its core team have also been vigilant and conducting early detection.
Each of these elite warriors has superior strength and is good at exploring paths, catching all crises, and preventing some potential threats that may exist.
According to this rhythm, these elite forces who are the first to investigate will inevitably discover the ambush in Yunchou'ao. After all, although the ambush is secretive, it may not be possible to hide an ambush of this level from those powerful investigative forces.
Duoye naturally observed these situations through the spirit vine.
He was naturally a little puzzled by this. It stands to reason that if these ambushers are from within the Yaohua Clan, they should know how strong Yun Tu's group is. If they are to ambush, shouldn't they be more concealed?
This level of ambush can't be said to be bad, but it's definitely not elite level. It's not that they are incompetent in combat, but that the ambush is not concealed enough.
Of course, this is Duoye looking at the issue from his own perspective. From the perspective of the cloud map, whether this group of people is concealed enough is another matter.
Of course, there are other possibilities.
Maybe these ambushing people have back-up plans? Maybe there are other means?
Duoye kept telling himself to be calm and composed and not to make a fuss.
He had an intuition that the person who spent so much money to track Yuntu and his group, and even spied on and eavesdropped on them, turned out to be a potted plant. This was indeed the work of the Demonic Flower Clan.
And if the people of the Demonic Flower Clan took matters into their own hands, how could they possibly make such a crude arrangement? There must be others behind the scenes.
While he was thinking about it, Master Duo discovered that Yuntu's investigation team was approaching. Obviously, they have also studied these places and know that Yunchou Ao is a dangerous place.
Therefore, these investigators were extremely cautious. The closer they got to Yunchou Ao, the more cautious and serious they became.
Duoye's spiritual vines have already noticed the arrival of this group of people. I believe that these people who are ambushing should also sense the approach of the other party.
And this group of investigators should not be idlers. They seem to be very alert people, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. Logically speaking, they should have caught some abnormalities.
But the investigators didn't seem to notice anything. They seemed to be aware of it and looked very cautious, but their sensitivity seemed to be very slow.
However, Duoye soon discovered something unusual. To be precise, it was Ling Teng who noticed something abnormal.
This abnormal discovery made Duo Ye understand at once why these ambush personnel were so careless despite their good strength.
It's not that these people don't know how to ambush, it's that they don't need to be too concealed at all.
In the area where they were ambushing, within a few kilometers, there was a strange fluctuation in the air. If it weren't for the delicate spiritual vines and the blood of the Baoshu clan, this kind of fluctuation would probably not be detectable at all.
There is a mysterious breath in the air. This breath can obviously affect people's nerves, affect their judgment, and even cause subtle illusions in people's five senses and six consciousnesses.
Master Duo understood it immediately.
This is the method of the Demonic Flower Clan!
Within these few kilometers, the subtle aura released by the Demonic Flower Clan blended perfectly into the air, affecting the judgment of these investigators.
It was obviously not a very clever concealment, but it was ignored by them. To be precise, their nerves were affected by the toxins released by the Demon Flower Clan in the air, and they lost their keen judgment.
Moreover, all this is so delicate that no one can notice it.
If top players use their tricks, the gap will definitely not be particularly big. Sometimes the only difference is the critical one or two.
The current scene perfectly explains this truth.
The few scouts on Yuntu's side are definitely elite. But after all, they are not of the blood of the Demon Flower Clan, and they lack sufficient knowledge of the Demon Flower Clan's abilities.
Even though they are the White Gloves of the Demon Flower Clan, they are not the Demon Flower Clan itself after all, and they do not possess the powerful bloodline power of the Demon Flower Clan, so they lack accurate judgment on these subtle details.
If the chess piece is missing, the difference lies in this.
In this way, after receiving the signal that the front was safe, Yuntu and his group did not pause excessively and approached with great confidence.
As a result, they naturally encountered an unsuspecting ambush.
And when the numbers of both sides are not much different, an ambush is obviously fatal. Under the first wave of attacks, Yuntu's team was reduced by half.
Although the team of adventurers hired locally can be considered a very powerful team. But the number of people was reduced by more than half at once, and the psychological blow can be imagined. The original 100% combat effectiveness was suddenly reduced to less than 50%, and what was even more fatal was actually the frustration of the will to fight.
What do you fear most about fighting? The biggest fear is thinking that you will lose. Once such signs appear, the degree of reduction in fighting will is extremely exaggerated.
Right now, these hired teams are clearly experiencing this kind of psychological collapse. Their first reaction at the moment is not to fight with blood to regain the situation, but to escape to save their lives!
Fortunately, the fighting will of several core combatants on Yuntu's side is very strong. From their point of view, failure in the mission is no different from death.
What's the difference between dying in battle here and dying as a result of punishment?
When the adventurers hired by the team showed signs of escaping, these core personnel would naturally stop them, and some ruthless people directly killed the two mercenaries who escaped.
He yelled: "What an idiot! They are trying to kill people and cheat. Can you run away? If one of them runs away, their affairs will be exposed. Whoever runs away first will die!"
This is not alarmist.
Look at the opponent's posture, they are here to destroy them.
run? As long as they can be allowed to run, why would the other party have to be so complicated and stage an ambush?
Obviously, the other party had no intention of letting anyone survive, but wanted to drive them all away.
The truth is such a truth, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect this group of frightened adventurers to understand it all at once, and then jump into the battle like a chicken, bleeding and fighting.
Although the hope of escaping is slim, you have to try, right?
Therefore, even if Yuntu's side kept stopping and calling, these adventurers' will to escape has not been weakened, but they have just done it more covertly.
As he fought, he wanted to get out of the fighting circle.
Of course, the end result is the same. Of those guys who tried to escape from the battle circle, none of them succeeded, not even one kilometer away.
This only further stimulated the rebellious psychology of these adventurers. Anyway, they are all dead, so it’s better to fight them.
The experience and fighting skills of these adventurers are definitely not bad. When they were determined to fight for their lives, the fighting power they unleashed was absolutely astonishing.
What was originally a crushing situation, because these adventurers made up their minds and fought hard, suddenly became bloody and displayed terrifying fighting power.
The battle situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.
Once the two sides get angry and enter into a life-and-death fight, the death rate will increase rapidly, and someone will fall down almost every time they take a breath.
The total number of people on both sides was only one or two hundred. A battle of this scale could not be said to be particularly large, but the brutality of the battle was truly astonishing.
In just three to five minutes, a large number of people from both sides had fallen.
As for Yun Tu, what is surprising is that Yun Tu, a guy pretending to be a butler, who thought he had a humble status and would be ignored, has become a key target of encirclement and suppression.
This made Yun Tu feel very aggrieved and at the same time, he also had some doubts.
If you have been so successful in disguising yourself, why do these people target you so accurately? Do these bandits know everything about their side?
So, these people are by no means stranger bandits, at least these people are very familiar with their situation.
Otherwise, there is no reason why a guy dressed as a butler should receive special care? The one who pretends to be the leader of the team, but only one or two people bother him?
Something must be wrong.
Yuntu's mind was spinning very quickly. He knew that today's situation was definitely planned. Perhaps, he has already become a favorite in the eyes of others, but he has never known it.
And why didn't the investigators on my side discover that there were so many people ambushed here in advance? Based on their strength, a team of this size should not be unable to be detected.
The problem here made Yuntu have some doubts.
