Chapter 829: No Turning Back

As the night fell and the sky gradually darkened, the camp was quickly arranged according to the defensive formation, but the location of this camp was not too ideal.

The reason was very simple, because this was not a camp for resting at night, but a place for the team to rest and temporarily camp during the journey.

The road from Linshan County to the Imperial Capital was extremely difficult to travel because it was walking among the mountains all the way, and there were relatively few places for rest. Fortunately, after continuous research and exploration, people gradually summed up the current route, and found places for the team to rest temporarily at certain distances.

Some locations are better, just on the way forward, while others need to bypass a certain distance on the way forward. However, even if it is such a troublesome thing to bypass the route, everyone will go to the resting place without any effort, because this is the wisest way in the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Range.

After all, this is still a paradise for Warcraft. If you don’t find a good place to rest, you may be besieged by Warcraft.

General Tao adjusted the team's forward distance and speed, allowing the team to pass the normal night camping site and go to the camp location for rest at noon the next day. This is also an open space where the team can stay and rest, but there are fewer flat areas available.

Therefore, the entire team's camp needs to be compressed, and the compressed camp will become crowded. However, this is also a result that General Tao wants, because in this way the defense of the camp will become more stringent.

Zuo Feng had already felt General Tao's intention when he came here. It can be said that this is the most appropriate and cooperative way of dealing with it among his conservative methods.

It is naturally a bit unbearable for the guards to rush on the road for a day, but it is not much different for Zuo Feng. His own cultivation is not low, and most of those people rely on a pair of flesh legs to rush on the road, while he uses horses to travel, so at night, he only has a little pain in his buttocks.

Although he is not tired, Zuo Feng's heart is always like a stone pressing on him. The problem of the assassin was not solved. It was just that after being dealt with by General Tao in this way, there was no change for the time being, but this did not mean that the problem could be solved.

He wanted to distance himself from the enemy by running fast. At the same time, he changed his original pace and rushed out for half a day to rest here, hoping that this way the enemy could not judge his foothold in advance.

But Zuo Feng was not as optimistic as General Tao, because they could not change the route, which was actually equivalent to an unsolvable deadlock. No matter whether you are fast or slow, you are always on this route, so his method seems too passive and negative.

General Tao may not be optimistic. As the leader of this team, he is probably more concerned about self-protection and safety. It is also extremely difficult to find and solve the enemy in such a forest. He adopted this method to disrupt the enemy's pace and then wait for the enemy to come.

But Zuo Feng's analysis showed that since the enemy was able to successfully kill eight people on the first night and sneak into the camp, it means that the enemy's strength and understanding of this team should not be underestimated. Therefore, this method will not only prevent the enemy from making mistakes, but will also expose his cowardly heart.

Unlike the previous night, Zuo Feng ate hastily and went to bed after arranging the camp. At the same time, he also told Amber that something might happen tonight, so he had to rest as soon as possible to deal with what happened next.

But what surprised Zuo Feng was that this night was particularly quiet. Not only was it unusually quiet inside the camp, but it was also very quiet outside the camp.

The Lingyao Mountains are different from the Tianping Mountains. There are a large number of magic beasts in the Lingyao Mountains, and many wild beasts also live there. The Tianping Mountains are divided into the inside and the outside. Only magic beasts exist inside. Even wild beasts with impure blood will be cleared out, leaving only pure blood monsters living inside.

The coexistence of magic beasts, wild beasts, and wild beasts in the Lingyao Mountains has also caused a mixed situation of various beasts. So it is difficult to be really quiet inside the Lingyao Mountains.

Such a large group of humans stationed in the mountains will definitely attract the attention of wild beasts, and even encountered attacks from magic beasts on the first day. Even if nothing unexpected happened at night, there would still be occasional wild animals coming out to attack, but tonight was unusually quiet, and not even the sound of wild animals could be heard.

Zuo Feng and Amber both slept well in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, they both got up and rested by meditating. Warriors would meditate when they were practicing, and meditation could also calm warriors down, and they waited for emergencies in this way.

But this night passed so peacefully, until the morning when the team was assembled, someone was shocked to find that more than a dozen people on the outer sentries were missing. These more than ten people were responsible for the outermost guards, and although their cultivation levels were high and low, they were generally lower.

For a team of 200 people, losing more than a dozen people at once was not a trivial matter. Together with the eight people who died the night before, it was almost a loss of more than 20 people at once.

In anger, General Tao summoned three deputy generals to discuss matters, but these three deputy generals were also unaware of this. Not only the three deputy generals, but also the other sentries did not know what happened last night. They didn't even notice anything unusual and lost more than a dozen brothers.

A feeling of panic quietly spread among the team, because everyone knew that the more than ten people who were missing were likely to be in trouble. These people are all well-trained soldiers and will not desert and run away, let alone run away in the elixir mountain range.

There are no cities nearby. Even if someone wants to have fun, the nearest city is Linshan County, which is almost two days away. Therefore, everyone knew that these people were probably dead, just like the eight people who died the previous night, or even worse than those eight people who left corpses behind.

General Tao and his three lieutenants discussed for a long time, and then reorganized the team and continued to set off. This time, General Tao didn't even ask Zuo Feng. Obviously, he no longer wanted Zuo Feng to get involved in this matter. Although Zuo Feng also had something to say to General Tao, the other party didn't give him this chance at all.

After the team simply packed up, they hurriedly set out on the road. But everyone's face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, and that haze gave people the feeling of a layer of death.

Although they did not discuss it with General Tao, Zuo Feng and Amber discussed it quietly on the road.

"It seems that this matter is serious. What should we do next?"

At this time, Amber was no longer like when he had just participated in the mission of the new county. At that time, he was still a warrior of the Kang family and served the Kang family. Although he performed many tasks at that time, the problems the Kang family had to face were much more trivial than those they encountered later.

The most indispensable thing about being with Zuo Feng is adventure, and when he encounters more dangers, his whole person becomes numb, or in other words, he has been able to remain calm in everything. He knew that Zuo Feng must have his own ideas about the current situation, so he wanted to ask Zuo Feng for his opinion first.

Zuo Feng seemed very calm. After hearing the inquiry, he immediately said: "I'm afraid the situation is worse than I thought, because the enemy is obviously prepared and is much stronger than the team around us. But The fact that they haven’t taken any action shows that they are not in a hurry to solve it yet.”

Amber, who listened carefully to Zuo Feng's words, nodded silently after listening. He felt the same way.

Then he said: "Could Master Tao not be able to see the current situation clearly? Why is he still acting like this now?"

"He was just lucky, thinking that the other party had some scruples, so he didn't take any big action. If I'm not wrong, he should continue to hurry up today in order to leave the Spiritual Medicine Mountains as soon as possible. This section of the road The length is fixed and the route cannot be changed, but he can adjust his speed.

In this way, if he can get out of the elixir mountain range before losing too many manpower, he can get help from other cities. However, his thoughts should have been anticipated by the enemy for a long time. I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will take big actions in the next day or two. "

After hearing this, Amber frowned, as if with a hint of doubt, and said slowly: "You mean they will still use such tricks, such a cat-and-mouse killing method, is it just to put pressure on us?"

Zuo Feng took a long breath and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the center of the team, where General Tao was. After retracting his gaze, he said: "That's exactly what they thought. If their operation on the first night was successful, at least they didn't want to kill all of this team. But when the operation failed on the first night, they changed I only understood their thoughts after those people disappeared.”

Seeing Amber, he was still a little puzzled. He then said slowly: "What they have to do is to drive me away and drive me to a place far away from Linshan County. They seem to have some scruples about Linshan County." , so they use this method to drive us away. As long as they think Linshan County will not affect their actions, they will take action against us. "

Hearing this, Amber's face became extremely ugly, and she immediately said, "Then why don't you tell General Tao this? After all, we still rely on them now."

Zuo Feng slowly shook his head, and before Amber finished speaking, he interrupted him and said: "It's too late now. If an accident happens on the first night, he can still choose to go back. Now we have gone too far, and I only thought of this after learning that someone was missing last night, and now I can only walk around. "
