Chapter 268: Hyena Outflanking



Bai Lu was mumbling something, and I saw red bloodstains all over the wood carving. They were some Arabic numerals, but the one represented a dot, and two, three, four and the like were just ordinary numbers. Such a complicated code was as complicated as the Morse code. It turned out to be the code they played when they were children.

Not long after, Bai Lu smiled, and seeing my curious look, she said, "Brother Zhou Bo, you are very curious, right? Actually, Yingchun loved to play when she was a child, so I played with her and came up with this code, five, four, two, one, six. But it's actually very simple. Yingchun often drew things when she was a child, and then numbered them. Five represents herself, four represents the room, two represents her doll, one represents me, and six is ​​the hero she admired when she was a child."

"Ah? How do I solve it? The doll in my own room is called my hero. How can I solve it this way?" I was really confused.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Of course not. Use some imagination, okay? Yingchun is in a room with a doll, which is Yunwen. Numbers one and six are deliberately swapped to represent that you and I are not in that room. Arrows are also drawn to indicate that we should go find them."

"Oh my god, there is such a solution? This is the first time I've heard of it! Did he say anything else?" I asked.

"Three, nine, seven, seven. Three is a monster, nine is her childhood puppy, which can be considered as her little bodyguard, and seven is a tree, which means there are two trees where she is imprisoned." Bai Lu said.

Although only the two of them could remember this code, it was still quite useful now. At least it provided effective information.

"Then there is a one and a zero. What do they represent? Why is the two connected with a diagonal bar using blood? The one represents you, and what is the zero?" I asked.

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then coughed and said, "There is no zero. Maybe, maybe they wanted to write six, but the stroke was missing, which means that we should rescue them quickly."

Her eyes were raised just now, and she was obviously lying. But she wanted to hide it from me, and I had no other choice. Besides, the situation is urgent now, and it is not the time to be serious with her. Time waits for no one, and we should seize the opportunity to get the information. In addition, saving Yunwen also requires Bai Lu's cooperation. If we are unhappy now, it will also affect the results later.

So we went directly to the guard at the fence at the foot of the mountain. Two hyena guards stood there straight. I tried to give each of them a lotus leaf coin. The two hyenas accepted it, but still refused us entry and shouted at me with bared teeth. There were still seven coins left, so I gritted my teeth and gave each of them three more.

The two guards took the money and were so happy that they stuck out their tongues. Bailu and I thought it was a go, but when we tried to go in, they still held their iron spears and wouldn't let Bailu and I in. The whining sounds coming from their mouths became louder and louder, and they started poking around with the spears in their hands, and they were obviously getting annoyed.

This is clearly a case of taking money but not doing anything. As expected, once civilization is formed and human nature emerges, this ugly side will be fully exposed.

"Hey, if you don't want to let us in, just give us our money back. Don't take our money and then not do the job. That's very unethical! Do you understand?" I pointed at it and gestured.

The two hyena men made warning sounds in their throats, and Bai Lu hurriedly pulled my hand, wanting me to think of another way, but I couldn't indulge them with my temper. I had to go in anyway, and since bribery didn't work, I could only use force.

Why argue when you can just take action?

I approached one of them, and its spear stabbed at me. I listened to the sound and had already predicted the position, and also took the other one's reaction into account. I knew the heights of the two spears one in front of the other, so I acted in advance, grabbed their spears, and suddenly unleashed them. How could their dog claws hold them tightly?

I snatched it away in one go, and with both hands I wielded the spears, turned the spear heads around, and aimed them at their necks. They were so scared that they dared not move. Then Bai Lu saw that the opportunity was good, opened her blood pupils, and used the Gate of Life and Death. The two guys immediately went crazy and started fighting with each other.

I threw away the spear so as not to leave any traces of the crime, and took advantage of the chaos to run in with Bai Lu. After entering, I found that this place was indeed like a wild tribe, with many thatched houses and huts, but hyenas were still hyenas, and most of them were used to sleeping coiled on the ground. Even if they had human habits, most of them were still accustomed to the hyena's way of survival.

I thought there would be some strange base camp here, but I found that it was just like a village at most. There were some traces of humans, but it was very crude, and it felt like neither human nor dog. When the hyenas saw us coming in, they immediately became alert. Bai Lu and I didn't want to fight with them, so we ran away if we could.

Then we heard a buzzing horn outside the house. Apparently, just as we expected, the whole city was on alert.

Those hyena people might be like humans, able to buy food with currency and not need to hunt every day. As a result, their claws have become blunt and their canine teeth have become rough. Therefore, they only dare to bark at us in groups of two or three in their dens and dare not come to deal with us. However, the guys wearing armor and holding weapons chasing us from behind are much braver.

But hyenas can survive by relying on their teeth and claws, not those spears. No matter how well they use them, they are not their natural tools. They are our human tools. It always feels like they are showing off their skills in front of an expert when they use them on us. Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I have practiced in the village Sanda team for several years. I know all kinds of martial arts. I may not be proficient in them all, but at least I am more accustomed to them than these hyenas.

If they want to stab me with that, I'm afraid it won't take more than a few moves. I can remove their spears in minutes, but I just don't want to do that now.

We continued running forward and soon came to a hillside. On the hillside were many caves dug out for nesting. We could smell a strong smell of charcoal fire and hear the sound of iron being struck. It was obvious that this was the iron smelting area. At this time, Bai Lu pointed at me and shouted, "Look, there are two trees in the third room from the left to the right on the third slope!"

I looked up and saw two tall trees. This was the place Yingchun hinted at. Seeing Yunwen and Yingchun were inside, we hurried up the hillside. However, a lot of hyena guards appeared on the top of the mountain. They began to run down frantically. There were some at the foot of the mountain and some on the top. It could be said that we were attacking from both sides and were outflanking them.

The only way was to continue running deeper into the village, but that would mean missing the hillside and not being able to rescue Yingchun.

"What should we do? There are more and more hyenas! We are going to die!" Bai Lu was so scared that she was shaking all over.

I looked carefully at the top. If we count the number of winding slopes, the top of the mountain is the fifth slope, the foot of the mountain is the first slope, and the earth cave house between the two trees is on the third slope. The hyena people were numerous and had short legs, so they had to run on two legs, so their speed was not as fast as Bai Lu and I. One step of ours was one and a half steps as fast as they were.

By this calculation, when we reach the third slope, maybe they will just arrive. Let's take a chance!

"Don't worry about it, let's go!" I pulled Bai Lu and quickly went up the hillside.

I ran and jogged all the way. Fortunately, Bai Lu had rested enough beforehand, otherwise she would definitely be exhausted now. After all, even someone with such a physical condition was a little out of breath.

Unexpectedly, we reached the third ramp before the hyena people who were descending from the top of the mountain. We kicked the door open and entered. I quickly found an iron spear on the ground, used it to hold the target, and then quickly pulled Bai Lu to rescue people. There was a hyena man in the house who had been controlled by Bai Lu's witchcraft and had gone crazy.

We continued forward and saw a secret door. We opened it and found a dark room inside. There was indeed a girl with a face as black as charcoal hiding there. She huddled in a corner. The wooden man beside her had been torn into pieces. The charcoal fire in the iron smelting furnace outside had a familiar shape. In comparison, they were the ugly hands and feet parts of the wooden man.

"Sister." Bailu rushed over, and Yingchun hurriedly hugged her sister. The two sisters cried to each other and said those sensational words.

I was happy for their reunion, but I still had to look for it, but it was very small and it didn't take much effort to confirm that Yunwen was not there!
