Judging from the traces alone, the lean team members were able to figure out Yang Shulin's movements after arriving in the Rabies Forest with remarkable accuracy, demonstrating their professionalism.
"Personally, I feel that the probability of Yang Shulin defecting is not high."
The lean team members gave their final summary.
"Hmm... there's also the possibility of it being a deliberate disguise." Scarface Captain nodded. "Let's head in that direction."
Having received the sign language notification, the team members, scattered in various locations, nodded silently to indicate that they understood.
Whoosh whoosh!
The faint sound of air being cut echoed throughout the Mad Dog Forest. Even when the hunter team used their lightness skills to leap from tree to tree, they did so very discreetly.
major!
Soon, everyone in the hunting team discovered the area where the bronze mirror belonging to Yang Shulin was located.
Of course, this bronze mirror no longer holds much appeal.
Before their very eyes, deep within the Rabies Forest, a village had appeared!
There are still quite a few people working inside!
The hunting party was shocked!
How did the people in this village manage to survive?
If a large boat were to cross the river, it would be capsized by a large fish in the river!
The Li River is the territory of the demon fish!
Moreover, the city lord has also placed spies along the Li River. If they were to cross the river, it would be impossible for them not to be exposed!
Who exactly are these people?
"Judging from their gait and physique, they are all ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts."
The lean team member made the judgment.
"Should we go in and ask?"
A short-haired team member suggested.
"Ask? I'm afraid you'll lose your life asking questions," Scarface replied, biting his thumb—a bad habit he had when thinking.
I like to bite my nails.
"Then look at the open space over there at the village entrance." Scarface pointed to a secluded open space on the side of the village, where the bronze mirror lay quietly half-buried in the sand.
"That's why the bronze mirror didn't move." Scarface raised his chin. "There's a high chance that Yang Shulin is already in grave danger."
"So... what's next?" Another team member looked at the players busily working in the village, and then at the surrounding environment.
"Siwu, you go alone and retrieve the bronze mirror first."
Scarface Captain sent the fastest-responding team to try and retrieve the bronze mirror.
Whether it's a trap or an ambush depends on Suu's abilities.
Siwu was the lean team member. He nodded and demonstrated his lightness skill; he was the tallest member of the Hunters' Second Team.
He dabbed on his clothes, and his yellow-green clothes instantly turned into a muddy brown.
On muddy ground, the camouflage color is changed.
Professional x2!
He slid down the tree lightly, using the branches as leverage to dart about, and in an instant arrived at the location of the bronze mirror.
The other team members immediately tensed up; whether it was a trap or not depended on this moment.
Siwu, who had been about to pick up the bronze mirror, suddenly withdrew his outstretched right hand and returned to Scarface Captain's side in a few leaps.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop? Is it a trap?" Scarface Captain asked suspiciously.
"No, there's a coded message under the bronze mirror... It's a coded message commonly used by the higher-ups in Mad Dog City. I don't have the password and can't decipher it. It's probably a code left by Yang Shulin."
Siwu paused for a moment, then said, "I sensed the area and there were no ambushes around. The ordinary people in the village didn't sense anything either."
"Hmm... I'll go check it out. You guys stay within a meter of me and be ready to support me at any time, in case we fall into an ambush."
"yes!"
Captain Scarface made a decision; his rank was higher than Siwu's, and he might be able to decipher the coded message left by Yang Shulin.
Since Suwu had not been ambushed and there had been no reaction inside or outside the village, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't seem to be a trap.
However, Scarface had been on countless battlefields, so necessary caution was still required.
Scarface and his team landed lightly. He himself went to the vicinity of the bronze mirror, while the other team members kept watch in all directions within a meter.
Hmm... in all directions...
Except underground...
Underground, in the area where Scarface led the hunter squad, several players were currently sweating profusely as they carried several logs.
Hydra, Justice Executioner, Salty Fish Fan, Crimson Moon Brilliance—basically, all the players with large size and great strength participated.
They were each holding a log, struggling to support it and prevent it from vibrating when people stepped on it.
"Damn it, is it still not done?! My stamina is completely depleted!!!"
Xianyu Fan, who has the lowest stamina, can't hold on any longer. He was only called here because his main attribute is stamina.
He was in the logistics group, which was lower in rank than the vanguard group, so he could only do manual labor.
"Hold on!!! Wait for the dog's signal!!!"
He was drenched in sweat like a hydra, and said through gritted teeth.
After the players captured Yang Shulin, they anticipated that people from Mad Dog City would come to investigate.
Hydra also learned from the poplar grove the approximate landing direction of the people from Rabies City.
Hydra specifically assigned Wang Ergouzi a great mission.
It means being a sentry.
People from Rabies City might be wary of humans, but they wouldn't be wary of a dog in Rabies Forest.
Although the color was a little different, Wang Ergouzi even rolled around in the mud a few times because of it.
It concealed its natural fur color.
Wang Ergouzi spotted the Scarface Captain and his hunting team from afar as they crossed the Li River and appeared in the Mad Dog Forest.
He ran back as fast as he could to inform Hydra.
Even radar wouldn't suspect a dog in the forest, let alone Wang Ergouzi, that coward, who's way too far away!
Upon hearing the news that the enemy had landed, the players quickly went into battle preparedness.
They had already discussed a round of tactics.
This includes the placement of bait and the construction of traps.
A few days ago, Scarlet Moon Brilliance made good use of her new skill and dug a huge trap of three by ten under the small bronze mirror that was used as bait!
Just by digging this trap, Scarlet Moon's Brilliant Digging Skill leveled up to level two!
After digging the trap, the players used wooden posts to lift up the ground, making it look like they hadn't dug at all!
When the enemy arrives, the player can simply knock the wooden pillar over, causing the entire piece of land to collapse!
"Woof woof!!"
As Wang Ergouzi barked in a mocking manner, Hydra, having heard the signal, roared!
Collide!
boom!
Several players simultaneously knocked down the supporting wooden pillars!
The ground at the top immediately collapsed, and several players were instantly knocked down and revived!
This is a true mutual destruction trap that only players can use!
Although the members of the second hunting team were spread out, they were basically all on this piece of land.
With quick reflexes, Su pushed off the ground he had fallen into, his hand almost grabbing the edge of the large pit.
Hey!
Su Wu's hand slipped!
Who the hell smeared oil on the edge of the pit?!
