Chapter 51: Calmly Walking into the Ambush Circle



Several Horn Clan monks were patrolling along the coast.

Human cultivators are accustomed to flying with swords, while demon cultivators, depending on their race, are mostly proficient in various escape techniques or divine travel methods.

For example, the Feather Clan can flap their wings and fly without the aid of any magic weapon; the Horn Clan is also proficient in the art of traveling thousands of miles, which is similar to a certain kind of footwork and can cover long distances in an instant.

Long Long was lurking in the depths of the rivers, watching these Horn Clan monks strolling leisurely with the wind under their feet. Although their burst speed was not as fast as Ling Yunpo and Senior Sister An's Fenyun Bagua Steps, they were better in terms of low consumption and durability, and were also very useful for traveling.

Unfortunately, I can’t learn it. There is a blood separation between races, and the secret magic and magical powers are not interoperable. It seems unnecessary to create a separate Horn Clan account...

He quickly gathered his thoughts and waited until those monks entered the encirclement before he let out a long dragon roar.

The expressions of several Horn Clan monks changed drastically. Before they could speed up to escape, the overwhelming power of the dragon pressed down on them, making their bodies feel as if they were filled with lead water and they were completely unable to move.

Another torrent of water rolled out from the rivers, trapping the Horn Clan monks from all directions. Finally, several flying swords pierced into the water sharply, like thousands of arrows piercing their hearts, killing these Horn Clan monks.

Dragon's might intimidates, water magic traps, and then kills with flying swords. This is the quick kill tactic designed by Long Long and his men. The most critical part is the dragon's might intimidates.

As long as they were successfully intimidated by the dragon's might, it was almost equivalent to being under an illusion, with their bodies out of control and their minds in a trance... Otherwise, these Horn Clan monks would not be unable to even fight back and would just stand there stiffly and be slaughtered.

Long Long's own extremely high bloodline rank is the basis for him to use his dragon might to intimidate these Horn Clan monks.

In this way, they killed more than twenty Horn Clan monks in five or six rounds. The morale of the little dragons was boosted and their fighting spirit was high. Some even jokingly said, "The Horn Clan monks are nothing more than this."

However, Long Long felt something was wrong. Looking at Qin Chaocang's expression, the great elder seemed to have noticed something strange and was now frowning and saying nothing.

The first round of sneak attacks could be explained as deliberate, but after the second and third rounds, even if the commander behind the Horn Clan was a useless person, he should have noticed that the front-line troops were disappearing abnormally frequently.

Even if they couldn't come up with a solution, at least they could send people over to conduct a large-scale search, right?

Who knows, maybe he's trying to make us complacent and careless on purpose, secretly planning some vicious trap!

Thinking of this, Long Long couldn't sit still anymore.

He did not doubt the strength of the Great Elder Qin Chaocang, but what if Qilin also sent a Great Elder to restrain Qin Chaocang?

As a veteran spy, Long Long knew very well that he could not rely on the reliability of any one person for his life safety, so he immediately called Long Hu, Qin Zhou, Qin Ye and others to meet and discuss the matter in private.

"I feel something is wrong." He said bluntly, "The Horn Clan's reaction is too slow. This is not what they should do after dozens of monks were attacked and killed. I suspect they are planning something."

The Qin brothers and sisters were bewildered. They had too little experience and could not tell the possibility of what Long Long said.

Dragon Fox stood firmly beside Long Long and said:

"I also feel that something is wrong! Think about it, if this is a trap, then the Horn Clan must have prepared a powerful killing move behind it!"

Although the little fox spoke very seriously, he just repeated Long Long's words in a rhythmic way and did not put forward any new arguments.

"I know what you said." Qin Zhou said hesitantly, "but there is no evidence after all, right?"

"If the Horn Clan is really planning a killing move against us, then we must inform the Great Elder and others... But if it turns out to be a false alarm in the end, we will become a laughing stock."

Young people always care about their reputation, and most of the companions around them are the descendants of the high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan and friends in the circle. If he gets startled and turns out to be the one who scared himself, and then this matter becomes a joke among them, it is almost equivalent to social death for Qin Zhou... It is better to die on the battlefield!

Qin Ye knew what ridiculous things were in his brother's mind, and quickly said:

"Then just don't tell them, okay?"

"After all, this is just our guess. There's no need to tell everyone, right?"

That's a great point! Long Long wanted to applaud Qin Ye.

As for evidence, of course I don't have any. I am just making reasonable and careful guesses based on the current situation.

When the time really came to run away, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to react in time, so I just gave you a casual reminder. But you were thinking about notifying the entire team to do something?

If what I said is true, you should think more about how to escape!

Qin Zhou was still a little hesitant, but in the end he couldn't refute it, so he simply didn't answer.

Although everyone began to become alert, there was indeed no evidence as Qin Zhou said, so everyone acted calmly and continued to play their roles in the team.

After a few more days, the number of Horn Clan monks killed had exceeded thirty. The confidence of the little dragons was almost overflowing, and some even proposed to continue counter-infiltration to the north and harass and kill the main force of the Horn Clan monks.

This kind of ridiculous "guerrilla tactics behind enemy lines" was certainly not agreed to by Qin Chaocang.

Guerrilla tactics are based on a high degree of familiarity with the environment. If the Qilin tribe attacks Dongzhou, they can still use guerrilla warfare by relying on the advantage of the Dragon tribe's home turf. However, this is Nanzhou, which is also unfamiliar to the Dragon tribe. They may not even be as familiar with it as the Horn tribe, after all, they fight with the Feather tribe every year.

In addition, the monks have no supply lines, so infiltrating behind enemy lines is even more meaningless.

Although he thought it was ridiculous, Long Long did not speak out to refute it in front of the team, because he vaguely realized that the optimism in the team was a bit excessive.

Is this what the commander behind the Horn Clan wants to see?

"Something is wrong." Qin Chaocang also sensed the danger and said, "Let's retreat."

"Ah? Why?!" The little dragons were all fed up with it.

Everything went smoothly along the way, so much so that everyone had the illusion that "I can do it without the Great Elder", and at this time they all started to persuade:

"Great Elder! Our morale is high now, but why are we retreating? Great Elder, haven't you heard the principle of making a strong start and then losing the momentum?"

"If we rashly retreat to the rear without encountering a strong enemy, how will we explain to our Feather Tribe allies?"

Although there were many different opinions, the core idea was to continue to stay on the battlefield and make contributions. Qin Chaocang said firmly:

"Retreat immediately! You have no right to speak here!"

The great elder Canglong became angry, and relying on his many years of prestige in the clan, he forced everyone to obey his orders.

Everyone changed direction and swam southwards for a short distance before they heard a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth in the distance.

Earthquake? With his foresight in scanning, Long Long immediately discovered that the riverbanks on both sides were collapsing under the violent shaking, completely blocking the waterway ahead!

There is indeed a trap!
