The sound of horse hooves disappeared.
Tang Wen became alert: Have I been discovered?
He gently pinched the pebbles with his fingers, slowed his breathing, and prepared himself behind the big tree.
Once someone approaches, they will be greeted by a rapid explosion, and then they will take the opportunity to escape.
When leaving the direction, you definitely cannot choose to go straight to the camp.
The other party should have expected it.
Seeing the danger approaching, Tang Wen's thinking was very clear.
But when I waited on the left, no one came, and when I waited on the right, no one came.
He stretched his head out from behind the tree and observed carefully: the surroundings were still dark and empty.
Look up again and look at the sky.
There was no sign of Blood Crow either.
Phew, a false alarm.
Tang Wen was relieved and continued to follow.
In the forest, there was a faint yellow light source beating.
Ah!
Quite arrogant.
Dare to light a lamp in the dark night.
Make sure again and again that there are no traps on the ground or any warning items such as trip ropes connected to bells.
Tang Wen tiptoed closer and saw clearly the scene next to the light.
Dozens of ponies stayed where they were, snoring occasionally.
Next to the horses, there were only two people.
No wonder there was no sound of horse hooves. It seemed that they had divided their forces.
This place is not too far from the scavenger camp, and there is a possibility of being discovered if you get closer.
This group of people probably wanted to use coercion and inducement to bring the scavengers here first, and then tie them to horses and take them away.
At this time, the sound of conversations came intermittently.
The distance was too far, so Tang Wen approached in a roundabout way and heard clearly the conversation between the two.
Two voices, one young and one steady.
The young voice said: "...what a flame camp, Flame Queen, you are being fooled by us!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down."
"Hey, you guy, why are you so cowardly? This area has already been searched several times by Blood Crow. Make sure it is clean and there is no trace of anyone." The young man's voice was a little louder.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst! Flame Camp is not someone to be trifled with, so keep your voice down."
"Tch!" After a pause, the young voice sounded slightly envious: "It would be great if I could also raise blood crows! The world is so big, where can't I go? What do you think the crows have to do to accept me as their apprentice? Teach me What’s the blood-raising crow’s ability?”
"How did I know this?"
"..."
Crow old man, blood crow, blood nourishing crow.
What, what is the ability of this Royal Envoy Blood Crow?
Isn't it the ability of a certain awakened person?
But a method that anyone can learn?
Tang Wen's mind became active.
What man can say no to a pet that can scout the environment?
Or a flying pet.
He looked carefully at the two men guarding the horses.
One minute passed, five minutes passed.
The two of them were still talking, unaware.
Tang Wen initially determined that the martial arts level of these two people was definitely not that of martial arts masters.
Martial arts masters are very keen on this kind of scrutiny and malicious gaze.
But he worried that the two were playing themselves off.
This possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a dead branch and threw it skillfully near the group of ponies.
Da da da.
The ponies noticed something, their hooves hit the ground, and there was a commotion.
"What's going on?" One person said warily.
After a few seconds, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and the young voice said angrily: "It's okay, don't scare yourself. It's very dark in the woods!"
"Uh-huh."
They seem to be two idiots.
Tang Wen took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
At this time, seventeen minutes had passed since Zhou Bing left.
Then take your time.
Wait for the rest of the team to go further.
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed.
Tang Wen put away the stones in his hand, stuffed them into his arms, and quietly approached the two of them.
Seeing it was approaching dozens of steps away.
The conversation between the two people was clear:
"You said that our fourth master is obviously better than the third master, so why is he the fourth master?"
"I've also heard that the third master gave women to the fourth master. You know, right? There are eighteen women in the fourth master's family. Eighteen!"
"so many?"
Tang Wen also had the same question in his mind.
Eighteen, are you too busy?
At what level can a person have such a talent as mine?
Tang Wen laughed silently, kicked his feet on the ground, and launched an attack!
The two were about to discuss something more.
Suddenly I felt a chill on my back and turned my head to look.
I saw a black shadow, like a ghost, coming suddenly.
The two of them were immediately shocked. One person put his hand into his arms and touched it, while the other person picked up the spear in front of him and wanted to stop Tang Wen.
However, it's too slow.
Coming closer in an instant, Tang Wen's mind: The fireball rushed towards the mountain with a rolling heat wave and exploded with a bang.
He punched the spear.
The wooden gun shaft broke instantly.
puff!
The broken gun barrel was driven into the man's chest by a huge force.
The person flew out sideways.
With his fist retracted, Tang Wen clenched his fist like lightning and struck the other person's chin from bottom to top.
The jaw is shattered and the cheek is deformed.
Tang Wen shook his hand, feeling like he had crushed a bird's nest made of small dry branches.
easy.
The two passed out.
The pony stirred.
It gradually became quiet after a few minutes.
Tang Wen tied up the two of them and took them deep into the forest.
He first woke up the person who was knocked away.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The man's mouth was gagged and he could only scream.
Tang Wen hit the wound on his chest with the back of the knife.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
The pain made him twitch all over and he fainted twice, but he immediately woke up from the pain.
After tossing him mercilessly, Tang Wen removed the cloth from his mouth.
The man trembled and said: "Sir, I said, I said, you, what do you want to know?"
The pain that was so painful that he felt like dying several times wore away his spirit.
"How many people are here in total?"
"Ten, ten."
"What are you here for?"
"Come and catch the scavengers."
"Keep talking!" Tang Wen said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, we are a slave-catching group. We are now camping in the mountains. We are catching scavengers in order to bring them to the mountain town to sell..."
Tang Wen compared what he said with what he already knew.
After some judgment, he asked again: "Who is leading the team?"
"The third master and the fourth master."
"Who raised the blood crow in the sky?"
"This, you all know this? Hiss! Ya Lao, it's Ya Lao! He is in the village, the very old-looking one."
Tang Wen broke up the question and asked it again.
The answers I got were consistent.
"What are your strengths as heads?"
"The eldest master is the awakened one, and the other four masters are all martial arts masters."
The speaker squinted hard, hoping to see the expression on Tang Wen's face clearly.
Question finished.
boom!
Tang Wen hit him on the neck with a knife.
Click, a crisp sound.
This, won't it kill you?
Tang Wen looked embarrassed. He was not very skilled in knife skills.
After understanding the enemy's strength, Tang Wen felt a little calmer.
After a long quarrel, the enemies were just two martial arts masters.
A smile flashed in Tang Wen's eyes.
The yellow kerosene lights flickered at the horse tying area. The horses were still there, but the slave-catching group had not returned yet.
But Tang Wen doesn't plan to ambush here anymore.
When the others came back, they could see at a glance that the two people left behind were missing.
No matter how stupid they are, they will still be vigilant.
Go forward!
Immediately, he ran along the path by the lake in the direction of the scavenger camp.
He turned back while running, and did not stop until the light of the kerosene lamp became faintly visible.
Find a suitable place nearby, lie in ambush, and prepare to strike.
