Chen Xiaocao and Wang Xiaoya were both stunned.
hunt?
How can one person "hunt" six people?
"Have you forgotten Liu Landi's background?" Su Tang reminded her. "She is the daughter of a hunter who grew up in the mountains. For her, this forest is not a testing ground, but her home."
Su Tang's analysis cleared up the confusion in Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao's minds.
They suddenly remembered that although Liu Landi was usually quiet and reserved, she always performed exceptionally well during field training.
She could easily distinguish various plants, she could identify the tracks of wild animals by a broken branch, and she could even predict whether it would rain in the evening by smelling the moisture in the wind.
In this mountain forest, she is the true queen!
"But...but there are six of them!" Chen Xiaocao still couldn't believe it, her voice trembling. "Six guns, Lan Di...how could she..."
“That’s right, she had to do it because there were six people.” Su An’s thinking was clear. “She knew very well that no matter how good her marksmanship was, she couldn’t possibly defeat six people head-on in a godforsaken place like a mountain pass. A direct confrontation would mean certain death, and both of you would be eliminated.”
"Therefore, she has to separate you."
"And she herself will use her familiarity with the terrain to slowly deal with those six people."
"She is using herself as bait to create an opportunity for us to fight back."
After listening to Su Tang's analysis, Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao were both speechless with astonishment.
They never imagined that there was such a deep scheme behind it all.
It turns out that Liu Landi, who usually seems so ordinary, actually has such a calm mind and extraordinary courage!
"Then... then Lan Di must be in great danger! She's waiting for us to rescue her!" Wang Xiaoya was the first to react. She jumped up, her worry replaced by a surge of fighting spirit. "Su An, let's go find her!"
"Don't rush," Su An gestured for her to calm down. She looked at Wang Xiaoya and asked the most crucial question: "How did you find us?"
Wang Xiaoya sniffed, pointed to her nose, and said with a heavy nasal tone, "I... I followed the scent here. You and Chen Xiaocao have a very special... scent, different from others. I followed this very faint scent all the way here."
“Okay.” Su An nodded, then asked, “Do you remember the direction they were chasing? What did they smell like?”
Wang Xiaoya nodded vigorously: "I remember! Although I didn't dare to look back, I kept smelling their scents! Zhao Yan and Bai Wei smelled of soap, and Li Yue... she smelled the strongest of sweat! I avoided running into them by following these scents."
At that moment, her keen sense of smell became the most accurate tracker.
“Very good.” Su An stood up. “Lead the way.”
Half an hour later.
Led by Wang Xiaoya, the three arrived at a dense pine forest.
The air still carried a faint smell of gunpowder and the chemical odor of paint, mixed with the earthy smell, which was quite unpleasant.
"This is it!" Wang Xiaoya pointed to a huge ancient pine tree in front of them. "I smell... tobacco on Liu Dafu! It's very strong. He must have been here for quite some time!"
Su An immediately made a shushing gesture, and the three of them immediately slowed their pace, forming a standard triangular combat formation. Using the tree trunks and bushes as cover, they carefully approached.
Under the big tree, the battle was even more intense than they had imagined.
