Chasing the wind and lightning, feeling the fierce and strong wind coming towards us, everyone on our side moved forward from this mountain pass.
Not long after, we crossed the Baibu Mountains and successfully arrived at the other end of the mountains.
“I have to say that it is quite a sense of accomplishment to cross such a majestic mountain range...even though I barely walked.”
Lei Xiao jumped off the tiger stick with ease and stood on a hillside. He blocked the sun with his hands and squinted his eyes to look down the mountain.
At this time, what appeared in front of him was a mixed area of mountains and hills.
At a glance, the terrain here is quite complicated.
The ground is uneven and full of folded rock formations. It is an earthy color with yellow sand everywhere, and only a few green plants dot it.
The slightly desolate scene can be said to be very different from the dense forest area where we were before.
And, just as Huzhui reported before, on several hillside in the distance, you can indeed vaguely see some walled buildings with a mixed structure of wood and stone.
“South Star Nan Yue, continue to put on your invisibility cloak and open the way, let’s get closer.”
After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao nodded to the twin sisters and put the last invisibility cloak on himself.
This invisibility cloak can not only cover up the figure, but also has the effect of concealing the breath.
For Lei Xiao, whose strength is at the second level of nine stars, it can obviously further reduce the chance of being noticed by the strong opponent.
For Nanxing Nanyue, who is already good at concealing aura, this is even more powerful. As long as the distance is controlled, even fifth-level experts will find it difficult to sense their presence.
“In short, it’s better to figure out the opponent’s strength distribution and the number of strong men as soon as possible. Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine and plan to weaken the opponent’s strength.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned his head and said to the other subordinates: "Okay, let's suppress our breath to the bottom, and let's start moving forward."
In this way, we advanced along the rugged depression for a while.
Nan Xing's crisp report suddenly sounded: "Lord, in the valley ahead, there are two opposing small groups of orcs fighting!"
At the same time, along with Nanxing’s voice came a sound of killing shouts and the sound of weapons clashing.
“It seems that the orcs are really fighting among themselves. I have to say that we came at the right time.”
While signaling the subordinates around him to be more vigilant, Lei Xiao asked: "Approximately how many are there?"
“Back to the lord, both sides should be a fully-formed 1,000-man brigade. Currently, both sides have suffered more than half casualties, and each has about 500 people left.”
Immediately afterwards, Nan Xing's sassy voice, mixed with the sound of fierce fighting, came over again: "Lord, these orc soldiers are attacking each other.
Most of them are first-level ordinary soldiers, and a few are second-level soldiers. As for the number of third-level strong men, there are four in total, and their strength is between one and two stars of the third level."
“Understood, continue to move around the battlefield to see if there are any enemies hiding in the dark.” After closing his words, Lei Xiao said to the others: “Okay, let’s speed up the pace too.”
A moment later, just as Lei Xiao and others were about to reach the top of the battlefield valley.
This time, it was Nanyue's soft voice who spoke: "Lord, my subordinates have discovered a new force in the hidden part of the valley, and they seem to be preparing for an ambush."
"Oh? Is it an ambush by one of the orcs? How many people are there?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing an interesting expression and asked casually.
"Back to... Lord, they are not orcs." Because the words were not clear, the introverted Nan Yue became anxious and stuttered: "They are... a group of werewolves."
"Werewolf tribe?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face was filled with surprise.
He had already learned about it during a previous conversation with the half-elf chief Kawatani.
In this world, in addition to large races such as humans, elves, and dwarves, there are also many other races of all kinds.
For example, our target this time is the orcs, and the werewolves that Nanyue mentioned just now.
According to the introduction of the old half-elf Kawatani, the werewolves are a rare humanoid race, known for their surly and persistent temperament, and their bravery and tenacity.
Furthermore, as long as there is sufficient energy in the body, one can freely switch between human form and wolf form.
It goes without saying about the wolf form, but in the human form, except for the fluffy upright pointed ears and an iconic big tail, in other aspects, there is almost no difference from ordinary humans.
It is precisely because of this that werewolf women are a sought-after commodity among human dignitaries and are often hunted down by bounty hunters.
However, it is worth mentioning that even the weaker werewolf women are extremely brave beings, so most of the time, the last ones to fall are bounty hunters who are hunters.
“I didn’t expect to meet a rare werewolf tribe here.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao calmed down for a moment and said to his twin sister: "Nanyue, are you saying that this werewolf tribe is preparing to ambush the orcs?"
“Returning to your lord, that’s exactly what it is.” Nan Yue’s voice, like an oriole coming out of the valley, came over again: “This lurking werewolf troop has about two squadrons, about 200 people.
In terms of strength, there are two ordinary third-level experts, about 20 second-level experts, and the rest are all first-level experts.”
"It's interesting. It seems that the other party is preparing to fight with the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will profit."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay, Nanxing Nanyue, keep an eye on the orc troops that are fighting and the werewolf troops hiding in the dark. We will be there soon."
That's it, about five minutes.
Lei Xiao and his party of six arrived at the top of the valley where the orcs were fighting.
At the same moment, the twin sister Nan Xing who was waiting here immediately appeared.
“Lord, the battle between the two orc forces has entered the final stage.”
Slightly lowered, Nan Xing saluted Lei Xiao, who had taken off his cloak, and said: "Currently, there are about 400 people left on each side, and the number of third-level experts has been reduced to two."
Having said this, Nan Xing stretched out his slender hand from under his cloak, pointed to a high ground on the other side of the valley, and continued to report: "Lord, as for the werewolf troops, they are ambushing there, and Nan Yue is conducting close inspections.
Surveillance.”
“Very good, it seems that it won’t be long before we can observe a good show.”
Touching Nan Xing’s head as an encouragement, Lei Xiao put on his invisibility cloak again. While listening to the shouts of killing that echoed in the valley, he looked down at the entire battlefield from a high position.
