Duan Wenjun always felt that Duanjia Fort was backed by Mount Laoshan, which was a natural barrier.
Mount Laoshan is high in mountains and densely forested. The deeper you go, the more miasmatic it becomes, and there are endless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. It must be a no-man's land.
Duanjiabao is the only way to enter the mountains south of Mount Laoshan.
Therefore, he just put a lot of focus on the fringe area south of Mount Laoshan.
The mine in Qifengya, the training camp in Luofengpo and the nearby cement workshop.
In the future, he has other plans, which will also be placed near this mountain.
He felt that once there was no one in the mountains, safety could be guaranteed and many business secrets would not be easily leaked.
Secondly, rely on the mountains and eat the mountains. This mountain is full of treasures.
Now not only iron ore has been discovered, but also limestone and quartz stone. If there is time to develop and search for it later, there may be more harvests.
However, Banderun and Luo Liangping encountered other people deep in the forest, and this matter had to attract his attention.
After bringing Banderun and Luo Liangping into the barracks, he eagerly asked what happened at that time.
Banderun glanced at Luo Liangping and then spoke slowly.
They entered the mountain early this morning. According to the original plan, the entire journey was nearly 20 kilometers, passing through the jungle in the middle and arriving at the temporary camp in the forest.
Everyone has walked this road many times and is very familiar with it.
A training session every two days follows this path.
In order to ensure the safety of the team and avoid unnecessary emergencies, according to Yun Batian's request, Banderun would personally lead a few people who knew Qinggong to open the way in front every time, while Luo Liangping would lead the team to follow up from behind. .
This time, it's no exception.
However, just as they were about to arrive at the temporary camp today, something unexpected happened.
They were attacked.
Banderun said that as soon as he and four people arrived at the gate of the camp, a wave of arrows shot out from inside.
Fortunately, they all had their own cultivation bases and were able to barely escape the blow. Only one of them was slightly injured.
But he didn't expect that those arrows were not ordinary arrows. They were covered with poison, and the injured person fell unconscious immediately.
Banderun hurriedly asked others to bring the injured down, and he rushed into the camp with his own skills.
However, there was no one in the camp, and nothing strange was noticed at all.
If someone hadn't been injured just now, he would have thought that he was too nervous.
In order to prevent wild beasts from attacking, they used rattan to weave a fence as high as one person around the temporary camp. There was only one way out at the entrance of the camp.
But if the person who just attacked them was a master of martial arts and flew directly over the fence, Banderun would not be able to detect it.
However, after some careful investigation, he still found some clues.
Banderun found a hole in the fence big enough for a man to fit in.
Outside the fence is an endless jungle filled with various shrubs.
The bushes showed signs of being cleared, and branches were broken in many places.
This was something they had never discovered before.
Obviously, this was just discovered in the past two days.
Thinking of this, Banderun followed the traces and left a mark for the people behind him so that they could come over and pick him up.
Banderun tracked in the jungle for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally found a few shadowy figures in front of him, and he was even more certain that they were the ones attacking them.
However, in that bushy jungle, even his lightness kung fu couldn't bring much advantage.
On the contrary, the group of people in front seemed to be very familiar with the situation in the mountains and ran extremely fast.
In this way, one after another, they ran for several miles, and gradually Banderun actually lost track of them.
But at this time, he discovered a canyon.
The canyon was not very long. At the end of the canyon, he saw several low thatched houses with dim lights on inside.
Banderun did not dare to enter rashly, so he hid at the mouth of the canyon and watched.
Within a moment, the roars of wild beasts and the screams of people came from the canyon.
Banderun was about to go in to check, but heard footsteps behind him.
However, Luo Liangping asked Liu Zan and Zhao Xiaowu to lead the team to guard the temporary camp, and he led a team of people to chase after Banderun's mark.
There were dozens of people in a team, so they became bolder and sneaked in along the canyon.
However, after the screams just now, the whole canyon was quiet and there was no movement at all, which made them feel a little scared.
However, within a few breaths, they led the team to the thatched house at the end of the canyon, and saw a sight they would never forget in their lifetime.
Inside the thatched house, it was a mess.
There were stumps of limbs and broken arms everywhere on the ground, and blood was splattered everywhere, which was horrifying.
As if some wild beast had looted the place, the surroundings were filled with a strong smell of blood.
A sense of danger surged into their hearts, and everyone began to become alert.
Immediately afterwards, the brothers outside were attacked by a blind bear, injuring several brothers in an instant.
After a fight, they finally killed the blind bear.
They searched inside and out again and found that there was no one alive inside, so they dug a hole and buried the bodies.
Banderun originally thought about bringing the blind bear's body back to the camp for extra meals, but when he thought that it had just killed so many people and must have eaten a lot of human flesh, he gave up.
Therefore, they felt that those who attacked the camp at that time should be the people in those thatched houses at the end of the canyon.
After they were discovered by Banderun, they fled back to their lair, but unexpectedly they happened to encounter a blind bear, and they were all killed in the belly of the bear.
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but frown.
Based on his intuition, he felt that things might not be that simple.
He looked at Banderun and said, "Old Ban, let me ask you, when you were following those people, were you discovered by them?"
"Although these people are very alert, I can be sure that they have not reached the level of Qi Condensation. They should not be able to find me if they run all the way." Ban Runde frowned, and then slowly shook his head, "Look at them running With their movements and body shapes, I think they look more like hunters who have been walking in the mountains all year round."
"Hunters?" Duan Wenjun nodded, "But there is one thing you have thought about. Since they are hunters, and they are so alert, why are they attacked by the blind bear and have no power to fight back?"
"What's more, didn't you say they would also use a poisonous arrow? Those houses were not destroyed by the blind bear. They had every opportunity to hide inside and outside the house and deal with the blind bear."
"Young master, do you think the person who died is not the one who attacked us?" Banderun was shocked when he heard this.
Duan Wenjun shook his head, "I don't know either, I just feel like there's something fishy about it."
"Old Ban, when the young master said that, I also thought there was something strange." At this moment, Luo Liangping said, "At that time, Old Ban led people into those thatched houses to check. I was outside the house, and the blind bear came It's like it suddenly appeared behind us and attacked us."
Looking at everyone's confused looks, he then added, "Whether the blind bear came in from the mouth of the gorge or rushed down from the hillsides on both sides of the canyon, there is absolutely no way no one will notice that big guy's size!"
"Could it be that there are not only those thatched houses at the end of the canyon, but also a secret passage that we haven't discovered?" Banderun was also surprised. "If those who were killed were not the ones who attacked us, then the people who attacked us are very likely He ran away through a secret passage."
