Chapter 67: These people seem to be coming for the spiritual spring
Everyone endured this torture minute by minute, praying that there would be no more gunshots on the shore.
After the warship docked at the pier, everyone lined up and walked down the pier in an orderly manner without waiting for the land regiment to give any orders.
"Everyone, squad one, advance to the left rear, squad two, advance to the right rear, squad three, follow me and encircle the perimeter."
The Lu regiment gave the order and everyone carried it out immediately.
Jiang Hongyi led the second team and started moving forward from the right rear where the gunshots came from.
The right rear area is at the bottom of the mountain and is covered by many trees, so you can move a little faster.
As for the terrain, everyone has already memorized it and will not get lost even if they walk with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of leaves being pulled at the nine o'clock direction. Jiang Hongyi immediately clenched his fists and raised his arms 90 degrees to stop the movement.
Everyone leaned forward in an instant, their legs formed a half-squat position, and raised their guns, ready to attack at any time.
Jiang Hongyi vaguely saw a familiar figure.
!!!
Is it Qi Xu? Why is Qi Xu here?
"Qi Xu! Come here!"
Jiang Hongyi stood up and waved in the direction Qi Xu was going.
At the same time, Qi Xu also heard his voice, spotted the location, and strode forward.
"Why are you here in the back hills?"
After Jiang Hongyi supported her arm, her pounding heart finally returned to its normal rhythm.
"Shh!"
Qi Xu made a whispering gesture with his hand to his lips, lowered his head and whispered, "I heard gunshots in the back mountain and thought it was poachers, so I wanted to go out and take a look. I didn't expect to run into you here."
After saying that, he quietly added, "I feel like the other person also has evil spirits acquired through special means."
"Look, there's more fog in the forest right now. It's caused by those evil spirits."
Jiang Hongyi nodded to show his understanding and asked her to follow him.
Then, take everyone and move on.
In fact, Qi Xu vaguely felt something was wrong when he went up the mountain from the back of the yard.
There were gunshots in the middle of the night. Jiang Hongyi was on a mission again. He should not be from the island. After eliminating all the possible people, he must be a stranger.
No matter where these strangers come from, they didn't come to the island from the dock in an open and honest way. Instead, they chose this time to launch a surprise attack. There must be some ulterior motive.
Since she happened to meet Jiang Hongyi's troops, she shouldn't make any mistakes as long as she follows their orders.
Jiang Hongyi's second team has a total of fifteen people, and now with Qi Xu, there are sixteen people. Everyone has to grope forward in synchronization.
Along the way, everyone walked and stopped, and almost ran all the way to the bottom of the mountain, but they couldn't find any trace of anyone else.
Qi Xu suddenly had an idea, "Jiang Hongyi, are these people coming for the spiritual spring?"
After she finished speaking, she counted on her fingers, and the answer came out, "Come on, follow me."
Jiang Hongyi knew her ability, and instantly moved sideways to let her switch positions with him.
Qi Xu learned their walking posture and tried to minimize the noise made by his feet.
The closer she and her team got to the spiritual spring, the stronger her sixth sense became.
Not only that, she could also sense the unusual fluctuations of the formation she drew last time.
When she was about to get close, she raised her arm and opened her palm to gesture backwards. Jiang Hongyi understood what she meant and immediately followed her and made a stop gesture.
Everyone stopped moving in an instant, and the entire forest returned to its usual tranquility.
Before the silence had lasted five minutes, rustling sounds were heard again halfway up the mountain, as if someone was walking and groping for something on the ground.
Then someone else started talking in a gibberish, but no one could understand what they were saying, not even Qi Xu, who understood a single word.
I just heard the group of people having a heated conversation, as if one person was disobeying the orders of another.
The moment Qi Xu signaled to Jiang Hongyi that he could attack now, Jiang Hongyi's fist instantly turned into a knife-hand and swung forward forcefully.
The next second, everyone rushed forward and quickly subdued the group of people in front. Before Jiang Hongyi could step forward, the little soldier didn't have the strength to twist the stranger.
The stranger pulled his arm free and pulled out a cylindrical object from his trouser pocket, then bit off the rope with his teeth, causing the flare to instantly soar into the air, flashing a bright blue light in the dark night.
Even if Qi Xu was not a soldier, he knew that a blue flare meant mission failure.
The moment she lowered her head, she looked at the suppressed stranger and suddenly frowned.
"Oh no! They might have poison hidden in their teeth! Quick, pry their mouths open!"
While the comrades were still hesitating whether to obey, Jiang Hongyi shouted, "Dislocate your jaw!"
No one dared to hesitate for a moment, and in the next second they dislocated the jaw of the stranger they were holding hostage.
Jiang Hongyi watched Qi Xu anxiously look towards the location of the spiritual spring, then turned to the rest of the team and said, "Stay where you are!"
He pulled Qi Xu and asked her to walk towards the Lingquan, "Hurry up, we only have five minutes."
Qi Xu's pace gradually increased, not daring to delay for a second.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that there was nothing unusual around the spiritual spring.
However, the light of the formation she had set up last time was a little dim. She did not hesitate to form seals with her palms and chant the incantation to restore the formation to its original light.
Even this made her feel uneasy, so she formed seals with her hands again, chanted some incantations, and superimposed a layer of Five Thunder Formation, and placed stones that could attract lightning at the centers of the formation in the east, south, west and north.
After finishing all this, Qi Xu patted the dirt off his hands with relief, "Mission accomplished, in a short period of time, the power of this formation can stop some inferior people."
"Okay, let's retreat. We can't stay any longer."
Time is money now, and he was afraid that those young comrades would not be able to control those strangers in the next second.
The return journey was faster than the journey there. Jiang Hongyi and she returned to the team's location and said, "Let's go and take these people back for questioning."
“Ahhhhhh!”
"Ehhhhhhh!"
"Hmmmmmm!"
The group of strangers struggled as they were forced down the mountain, but it was all in vain. Their jaws were dislocated and they couldn't speak or commit suicide, so they could only babble.
No matter how you listen to it, it sounds a bit like opera!
Qi Xu didn't know why these strangers still didn't give up their desire to communicate even though they were now prisoners.
She just turned her head and took a look, and was dazzled by the "beautiful" scene.
It was horrible to look at. Not a single one of them was not drooling. Some were drooling, some were drooling in strings...
"How are you going to interrogate them after you take them back?"
"We don't understand what they're saying. Even if I could hypnotize them, they wouldn't understand Mandarin."
"Don't worry, we have a translation team on the team. Let them listen and maybe they can figure out what's going on."
Jiang Hongyi lowered his head, looked her in the eye and explained calmly.
Sure enough, she was ignorant and there were still some capable people in the team.
