Chapter 353 Do you think I will be fooled?
As soon as the battle cat appeared, Xueyi knew that he was in trouble.
It turns out that the blood force was being targeted.
As a former neighbor, Xueyi knew that the Xueshi were always strong and acted without restraint.
Not only did it seize the territories discovered or developed by other blood ancestors, it also sent blood beasts to interfere with the land areas outside the Blood Lake, and privately executed some war cat soldiers who dared to approach the Blood Lake.
This time the war cats seized their opportunity and took action.
Xue Yi took a look. The War Cats this time dispatched experienced old cats, not the new recruits and auxiliary soldiers in the past. It looked like they were going to kill Xue Shi.
"Damn it! How dare you team up with War Cat to plot against me!" Xue Shi's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth.
Xue Yi did not engage in any verbal argument and immediately led his men to evacuate the Blood Lake.
It wants to leave, but the blood force has no manpower to stop it. Facing a powerful enemy, it is important to protect the territory.
At this critical juncture, Xueyi's experience in nomadic travel and command accumulated over the past few years came into play. The brothers followed orders resolutely and responded quickly, leaving the battlefield quickly and retreating to the hills behind.
Xueyi began to count the men.
Although this proactive attack caught the enemy off guard and caused heavy losses, many of our own men were also killed, with a total of 2 blood servants and 41 blood beasts lost.
But the enemy suffered an even worse fate.
Xueyi looked down the mountain.
The war cat clan entered the scene one after another.
The old cats emerged from under the soil, cracks in rocks, and trees. They quickly changed their shapes, walking upright, holding machetes and short spears.
The new recruits in the rear held longbows, tightened the bone arrows on the bowstrings, and were ready to take action at any time.
The Blood Force, which had just suffered a severe blow, gathered its men and horses, and did not show any fear when facing the cats surrounding it from all directions.
Blood Power shouted: "Which legion are you from?"
An old cat with a scar on his nose laughed and said, "Third Corps, Fifth Battalion."
Xueshi was silent for a moment: "This is the Second Legion's territory, why are there war cats from the Third Legion?"
“It’s very simple.”
The old cat said, "Because there were some problems within the Second Corps, our Third Corps was ordered to come over and deal with the troubles in some of the jurisdictions to avoid making things difficult for them."
Xue Shi said coldly: "So there is nothing to talk about?"
"We are here only to carry out the mission, we don't know anything else."
The old cat smiled and said, "Please forgive me."
It waved.
There was a whooshing sound of arrows breaking through the air from behind, and a rain of arrows covered the entire sky above the blood lake.
The Blood Force group also quickly dived into the Blood Lake.
Generally speaking, cats are strong on land, but once they come to the Blood Lake, the home of blood elements, if they dare to go into the water, they will face life-and-death threats at any time.
Xueyi was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield. He was certain that the War Cats group must have come well prepared and would never retreat so easily.
So, how do War Cats attack?
The actions of the old cats afterwards made Xueyi somewhat confused.
Under the command of the veterans, the war cat recruits and auxiliary soldiers on the periphery began to move. They used ropes to lead a group of dark brown creatures shaped like bison.
This creature has a broad, wrinkled nose - or mouth, no eyes, and moves by relying on the protruding feet under its belly.
How could a blood-sucking worm grow so big? Xue Yi didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
It has been herding blood-sucking worms with its men in recent years and has become quite familiar with these creatures.
There is a limit to the size of blood-sucking worms. Once their bodies are stretched too thin, they will burrow into the muddy bottom of a pool of blood and lie dormant until they have finished digesting their food and then float up to feed when they are hungry.
The bison-sized blood-sucking worms - or blood-sucking cows - were now sticking their huge mouthparts into the blood lake, greedily sucking the blood elements in the water.
In addition, the War Cats also adopted an extreme measure.
A large amount of livestock manure was dumped into the blood lake by the carts they pushed, making the entire blood lake surrounded and blended with filth, attracting a large number of mosquitoes and flies.
Xue Yi gasped when he saw this scene. What a cruel cat!
The feces offensive was rapidly diluting and muddying the red lake. Due to instinctive reasons, both blood servants and blood beasts would clean the blood lake to ensure the purity of the blood element, so that the power of the blood will could be fed back to every blood clan member.
Not only are the war cats polluting the Blood Lake, they are also feeding the Blood Clan with shit! Not only are the Blood Servant and Blood Beast eating it, but as long as the Blood Clan is in the lake, it is inevitable...
Xue Yi thought hard but couldn't find a solution.
Only by eliminating the polluters on land can the blood lake be prevented from being polluted.
From this perspective, nomads like me are not easily threatened. At worst, we can just settle down in a smaller pond.
However, the blood force that had been operating in the area for many years did not make such a choice. Finally, it could not stand the humiliation and slow death anymore, and led the blood servants and blood beasts to launch a frenzied counterattack, launching a tragic charge towards the blood-sucking insects and war cats on the shore.
The war cats seemed to have anticipated all this, and a rain of arrows fell, quickly shooting down the blood beasts one by one. The old cats entered the battle and changed their forms, holding various weapons, killing the blood servants and blood beasts.
Under the persistent hunting of the war cats, Blood Power died after killing two old cats. Its body returned to the will of blood and turned into a blood element that merged into the earth.
Xueyi, who watched the battle remotely, gained a lot of experience.
It didn't have much dealings with the War Cats, and this was the first time it saw a life-and-death battle between the War Cats and the Blood Ancestor, so it couldn't help but feel a little worried.
When facing the War Cats, the Blood Clan is still a little too lacking in initiative.
In addition, there is another essential difference between the two races: it is difficult for the Blood Ancestors to trust each other, but the War Cats work closely together.
They have a tribe base like Cat Hill, where the marshals and counselors of the three major legions of war cats cooperate with each other and decide the overall strategy of the entire tribe through the Cat Hill Conference.
As for the blood ancestors, they are usually considered close friends even if nothing happens.
Suddenly, Xueyi realized something was wrong.
It was so quiet at the post that I couldn't even hear the birds singing or the insects chirping.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Beware, there are enemies!"
It yelled, "Occupy the terrain, do not disperse!"
The blood servants and blood beasts under his command immediately took action and surrounded Xue Yi.
"take it easy."
A war cat jumped down from the tree next to it. It was Sanhua, with black, white and red colors on its body. Its amber eyes made it look very calm.
Sanhua wore a soft leather armor, a small knife slanted at his waist, and a leather hat with two green feathers on it.
It opened its arms to show that it meant no harm: "It's just me. Of course, there may be my friends hiding behind me."
Xue Yi stared at the other person coldly.
The person who comes can switch forms and is also an old cat.
"My name is Mao Cao, and I'm the captain of the Second Squadron of the Fifth Battalion of the Third Army. It's our first meeting, so I'd like to make some acquaintances."
Maocao said: "I know your name is Xueyi, and you are the leader of another blood pool next door. However, it seems that the blood pool was destroyed in the earthquake. What a pity."
Xueyi interrupted him: "You want to hold us back and wait for the follow-up battle cats to come?"
It was not panicked at all.
In the past few years, Xueyi had suffered a lot, constantly going back and forth between hope and despair, and had learned a lot of skills. For example, it now knew how to enter the underground from streams or pools of water and move all the way through underground rivers.
As long as I don't have any territory, I will be absolutely free! "That's not the case."
Mao Cao looked calm, "The Fifth Squadron's mission is to assist the Third and Fourth Squadrons in wiping out the Blood Ancestor and Blood Force gangs. We have not received any other orders. We need to be cautious when operating across our jurisdiction... I want to ask, would you consider coming to my jurisdiction?"
"My jurisdiction is in the northern snowy region. There is a glacier forest that looks like a claw. It's called the Cat's Claw Forest. My jurisdiction is nearby."
"Not long ago, the blood ancestor in the blood lake there died because of the daylight tide, and the location became vacant. It's a very large blood lake, and although it's frozen into a block of ice, you should be able to use it if you go over and clean it up."
Mao Cao spread his paws: "Since there will always be a Blood Ancestor in the Blood Lake, why not find one that is more pleasing to the eye? From what I've observed, you are not as stubborn as the Blood Ancestor. You can endure hardships and your temper is not bad. Maybe you can get along well with me."
"You think I'll be fooled? That's hilarious."
Xueyi led the team and left without looking back.
…
Lu Yao, who saw through everything, felt a little more approval in his heart. Not bad, he saw through the ambush at a glance.
Maocao was indeed delaying Xueyi's steps, and the old cats behind were approaching here, forming a siege. If Xueyi hadn't retreated quickly, his fate would not have been much better than Xueshi's.
Lu Yao ate dried sweet potatoes and continued to pay attention to Xue Yi's movements.
The young Blood Ancestor led a hard nomadic life, free from hunger and weakness.
It led the team through the dry Death Desert, was chased and beaten by its own kind among the mountains, and also tried to gain a foothold in the jungle infested with blood-sucking worms...but all these efforts failed.
Finally, it drifted north to the cold snowy mountain area with its subordinates who had been killed along the way.
"Before, there were many brothers outside, all watching, please give me some face... Brothers here, I apologize to Captain Maocao, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Then I'll trouble Captain Cat Grass to take care of you from now on."
Xueyi said to Maocao with a flattering smile on his head.
Lu Yao almost choked on the dried sweet potatoes.
The calico cat was stunned, with an exclamation mark on its head.
A cloud of thoughts floated above its head: "This guy actually walked into a trap... Keep him stable first, and find a suitable opportunity to use him to exchange for military merit later."
Just like that, Xueyi moved to the area under the jurisdiction of Maocao, led his team into the local blood lake cave that had just been attacked by the daylight tide, and began a new life where it was difficult to distinguish good from bad.
