Since they have already planned to become Huangque, they will naturally not go out in a big way and swarm. The final plan was finalized, and it was Duo Ye who personally took the initiative and led the three top combat forces in Wangqing Valley.
Since this battle is destined not to be solved by brute force, it can only be solved by trickery. Since it is a trick, bringing too many people will only add to the chaos, causing the target to be too big, and it will be easy to be suspected.
Jiang Yue and the others stayed at the inn, creating a scene where everyone was resting at the inn.
It's not that Jiang Yue didn't want to go to the scene to help, but it was really inconvenient for Jiang Yue to participate in the battle. If he participated, he could rob the property single-handedly. But in that case, his strength would be exposed and Duoye would be suspicious.
In this case, wouldn’t all previous efforts be wasted?
Now that the plan has been finalized, everyone will naturally implement it strictly. Jiang Yue will not go overboard and do more extraneous things.
With Duo Ye's strength, if he can stay calm and wait until both groups are injured in the fight before taking action, the probability of success is still high.
Arranging three masters from the Valley of Forgetfulness to accompany Duo Ye is actually not to act together with Duo Ye, but to make some echoes and add a layer of insurance.
If Duoye fails, they can serve as a follow-up strike force and participate in some pursuit and interception work.
And if Master Duo succeeds, they will be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath and cleaning up the scene.
It can be said that Duo Ye and Jiang Yue have considered many factors that can be taken into consideration. They have even deduced several unexpected possibilities.
We have made such solid preparations in all aspects, whether we can succeed or not, we can only leave it to fate and see how lucky we are.
At least Jiang Yue felt that given their current conditions, it was impossible to do better unless he personally took action.
Of course, they can't sit idle in the inn. After all, they show up from time to time and inadvertently gain some sense of presence. In this way, when the incident comes to light, they at least have an alibi.
Although there are still some flaws and loopholes in this approach, it can be considered as a best effort.
…
As expected, Yuntu and his group left the inn early in the morning and checked out, apparently heading to the Jiangli Mountains. This is consistent with the information Jiang Yue received.
They had to arrive at the Jiangli Mountains before noon and take the teleportation gate.
Half a day is enough to go from Jiangli City to Jiangli Mountains. After all, Yuntu and his group will definitely not hesitate to hire the fastest horsepower.
There are about fifty people in the group, including about ten core members, and the rest are locally hired bodyguards and adventurers.
This kind of bodyguard mission is often a mission issued by the Adventurer's Guild. For missions of the level of Cloud Atlas, the protection mission is at least six-star, so the combat effectiveness of the bodyguard team will definitely not be bad.
In addition, the core team itself also has good combat effectiveness. As a result, the combat effectiveness of this caravan is actually very strong, and it is by no means easy to make decisions.
Unless you dispatch a large-scale mobile force to intercept and kill them openly, like the Arrow Wolf tribe did.
But this is the territory of the Yaohua Clan. It is obviously impossible and taboo to openly pursue and kill them like the Arrow Wolf Tribe.
Last night, Duo Ye and Jiang Yue deduced the geographical location along the way, and they locked in several areas where ambush was most likely. To be an oriole, you have to be a smart oriole. If the geographical location is not well surveyed, the ambush will be difficult.
If it is not in place, it will be noticed by both the mantis and the cicada. When the offensive and defensive positions change, it will be embarrassing. Who is the poor cicada, but it is hard to say.
Duoye's cautious character really came into play at this time.
The Yuntu group also entered the Jiangli Mountains as promised. The portal is at the intersection of the Jiangli Mountains and leads to a mountain road of at least one or two hundred miles. On the way, they will pass through several remote mountain passes and dangerous places.
At this moment, a mysterious team is ambushing in this place called Yunchou Ao. The number of this group is only a few dozen, but the formation of the ambush is perfectly arranged. An expert will know at a glance that this must be
He is a veteran of ambushes.
And each of these ambushes has extraordinary skills, and you can tell at a glance that they are not mediocre. The most important thing is that each of these people has a bloodthirsty murderous aura, which shows that killing is a common occurrence for them.
.
And the target of this group of ambushers is undoubtedly aimed at Yun Tu's group of businessmen.
Duoye, the oriole, whose Baoshu clan bloodline came into play at this time. After he used the spirit vine to detect these ambushers, he stopped approaching and hid ten kilometers away.
Use spirit vines for remote observation.
In this deep mountain and old forest, it is surrounded by vines. Master Duo arranged for some spiritual vines to be mixed in, which can be called tailor-made. There is no need to make any special arrangements.
For Duo Ye, this is undoubtedly a showcase of his strengths.
Yuntu's group is obviously not a vegetarian. Several elite combatants in its core team have also been vigilant and conducted early detection.
Each of these elite warriors has superior strength and is good at exploring routes, catching all crises, and preventing some potential threats that may exist.
According to this rhythm, these elite reconnaissance forces will inevitably discover the ambush in Yunchou'ao. After all, although the ambush is secretive, it may not be possible to hide an ambush of this level when encountering those powerful investigative forces.
Duoye naturally observed these situations through the spirit vine.
Naturally, he was a little puzzled by this. Logically speaking, if these ambushers were from the Yaohua Clan, they should know how strong Yun Tu's group was. If they were to ambush, shouldn't they be more concealed?
This level of ambush can't be said to be bad, but it is definitely not elite level. It's not that their combat effectiveness is not good, but that the ambush is not concealed enough.
Of course, this is Duo Ye's view of the issue from his own perspective. From Yuntu's perspective, whether this group of people is concealed enough is another matter.
Of course, there are other possibilities.
Maybe these ambushes have a back-up plan? Maybe there are other means?
Duoye kept telling himself to be calm and composed and not to make a fuss.
He had an intuition that the person who spent so much money to keep an eye on Yuntu and his gang, and even spied on and eavesdropped on them, turned out to be a potted plant. This was indeed the work of the Demonic Flower Clan.
And if the people of the Yaohua Clan took matters into their own hands, how could they make such a crude arrangement? There must be other back-up plans.
While he was thinking about it, Master Duo discovered that Yuntu's investigation team was approaching. Apparently, they had also studied these places and knew that Yunchou Ao was a dangerous place.
Therefore, these investigators were extremely cautious. The closer they got to Yunchou Ao, the more cautious and serious they became.
Duoye's spiritual vines have already noticed the arrival of this group of people. I believe that these people who are ambushing should also sense the approach of the other party.
And this group of investigators should not be idlers. They seem to be very alert people, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. Logically speaking, they should have caught some abnormalities.
But the investigators didn't seem to notice anything. They seemed to be aware of it and looked very cautious, but their sensitivity seemed to be very slow.
However, Master Duo soon discovered something unusual. To be precise, it was Ling Teng who noticed something unusual.
This unusual discovery made Mr. Duo understand at once why these ambush personnel were so careless despite their good abilities.
It's not that these people don't know how to ambush, it's that they don't need to be too concealed at all.
In the area where they were ambushing, within a few kilometers, there was a strange fluctuation in the air. If it weren't for the delicate spiritual vines and the blood of the Baoshu tribe, this kind of fluctuation would probably not be detectable at all.
There is a mysterious breath in the air. This breath can obviously affect people's nerves, affect people's judgment, and even cause subtle illusions in people's five senses and six consciousnesses.
Master Duo understood it immediately.
This is the method of the Demonic Flower Clan!
Within these few kilometers, the subtle aura released by the Demonic Flower Tribe blended perfectly into the air, affecting the judgments of these investigators.
The concealment, which was obviously not that clever, was ignored by them. To be precise, their nerves were affected by the toxins released by the Demonic Flower Clan in the air, and they lost their keen judgment.
Moreover, all this is so delicate that no one is aware of it.
The difference between the top players' clever moves will definitely not be too big. Sometimes the difference is just one or two key moves.
The current scene perfectly explains this truth.
The few scouts on Yuntu's side are definitely elites. But after all, they are not of the Yaohua Clan's bloodline, and they lack sufficient knowledge of the Yaohua Clan's capabilities.
Even though they are the White Gloves of the Demon Flower Clan, they are not the Demon Flower Clan itself after all, and they do not possess the powerful blood power of the Demon Flower Clan, so they lack accurate judgment on these subtle details.
If you make a bad move, the difference lies in this.
In this way, after receiving the signal that it was safe ahead, Yuntu and his group did not pause excessively and approached with great confidence.
As a result, they naturally encountered an unsuspecting ambush.
When the numbers of both sides are not much different, an ambush is obviously fatal. Under the first wave of attacks, Yuntu's side was directly reduced by half.
The team of adventurers hired locally, although considered a very strong team, was reduced by more than half at once, and the psychological impact can be imagined. The original 100% combat effectiveness was suddenly reduced to less than 50%, and it was even more deadly.
It's actually a frustration of the will to fight.
What are you most afraid of in fighting? The biggest fear is thinking that you will lose. Once this happens, the degree of reduction in the will to fight is extremely exaggerated.
Right now, these hired teams are clearly experiencing a psychological collapse. Their first reaction is not to fight bloody battles to regain the situation, but to escape to save their lives!
Fortunately, the core combat capabilities of Yun Tu are very strong. From their point of view, failure in the mission is no different from death.
What is the difference between dying in battle here and dying as a result of punishment?
When the adventurers hired by the team showed signs of escaping, these core members would naturally stop them, and some ruthless people directly killed the two mercenaries who escaped.
He yelled: "You idiot, they are trying to kill people and cheat, can you run away? If one of them runs away, their affairs will be exposed. Whoever runs away first will die!"
This is not alarmist.
Look at the opponent's posture, they are here to destroy them.
Run? As long as they can be allowed to run, why would the other side have to be so complicated and stage an ambush?
Obviously, the other party had no intention of letting anyone survive, but wanted to drive them all away.
The truth is such a truth, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect this group of frightened adventurers to understand it all at once, and then jump into the battle like a chicken, bleeding and fighting.
Although the hope of escaping is slim, you have to try, right?
Therefore, even if Yuntu's side kept stopping and calling, these adventurers' will to escape has not been weakened, but they have just done it more covertly.
As he continued to fight, he wanted to get out of the fighting circle.
Of course, the final result is the same. Of those guys who tried to escape from the battle circle, none of them succeeded, not even one kilometer away.
This in turn aroused the rebellious psychology of these adventurers. They are all dead anyway, so it is better to fight them.
The experience and fighting skills of these adventurers are definitely not bad. When they are determined to fight for their lives, the fighting power they unleash is absolutely amazing.
What was originally a crushing situation, because these adventurers made up their minds and fought tooth and nail, suddenly became bloody and displayed terrifying fighting power.
The battle situation suddenly came to a stalemate.
Once the two sides get angry and enter into a life-and-death fight, the death rate will increase rapidly, and someone will fall down almost every time they take a breath.
The combined number of both sides was only one to two hundred people. A battle of this scale could not be considered particularly large, but the brutality of the battle was indeed astonishing.
In just three to five minutes, a large number of people from both sides had fallen.
As for Yun Tu, what is surprising is that Yun Tu, a guy pretending to be a butler, who thought he had a humble status and would be ignored, has become a key target of encirclement and suppression.
This made Yuntu feel very aggrieved and at the same time, it also gave rise to some doubts.
If you have been so successful in disguising yourself, why do these people target you so accurately? Do these bandits know everything about your side?
So, these people are by no means stranger bandits, at least these people are very familiar with their situation.
Otherwise, there is no reason why a guy dressed as a butler should receive special care? The one who pretends to be the leader of the team should only have one or two people to bother him?
There must be something wrong somewhere.
Yun Tu's mind was spinning very fast. He knew that today's situation was definitely calculated by someone. Perhaps, he had already become a favorite in the eyes of others, but he never knew it.
And why didn't the investigators on our side discover so many people ambushed here in advance? Based on their strength, they shouldn't be unable to detect a team of this size.
