The mission of the second team is to detect the movements of the evil spirits in Motian Ridge, and to find a suitable place to camp at the foot of the mountain for the large troops behind them, so as to prevent the infantry regiment that is opening the forest road from encountering evil spirits.
Baron Sidney divided the areas of each patrol team in detail on a simple parchment map.
The defense area where Surdak team is responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance is located on the southwest side of Motian Ridge, less than five kilometers away from the large force of the Fourth Brigade that opened the forest road. However, the ravines and valley roads in the mountains and forests make this mountain road extremely difficult to walk. The Fourth Brigade opened the forest road.
When hiking on the trail, I very wisely chose to avoid this area with complex terrain.
It is impossible for the second team to run around like headless flies in this dangerous forest area, unable to escape if they encounter an evil spirit.
Cinnamon branches and leaves have a spicy smell, which evil spirits hate very much. This was discovered by a scout in Duke Ryan's Bussmann Corps. Now it has been widely used by scouts, but this kind of cinnamon branches
Not easy to find.
It is rare to see a large-scale cinnamon forest in the woodland of Gandaur Mountain. This time the soldiers of the second team were lucky. Soldier Augustus accidentally discovered a cinnamon tree when passing through a woodland.
, so almost every soldier in the team wore a layer of cinnamon branches as a camouflage.
He Boqiang was lying in the grass on the slope, with two recruits lying beside him, staring at the situation down the hillside with wide eyes.
There is a moderately wide exit under the slope. After investigation by the team members, they found that this is the only way to enter Moyun Ridge. Surdak decided that the second team would hide here to monitor the evil spirits of Moyun Ridge.
trend.
Surdak divided the warriors into three groups.
Suldak, He Boqiang and two recruits formed the first group.
Red Socks, Big Beard, Augustus and a fellow soldier formed the second group.
The remaining five warriors form the third group.
The three groups will form a cross-surveillance network in this area. Although there are dense forests nearby, they are located on the top of the slope and can still communicate with each other from a distance.
A three-meter-long pine-crested iguana galloped through the grass at the foot of the slope, darting in the opposite direction to Moyun Ridge.
The Pine Crested Iguana is a rare low-level monster. What it is best at is the 'Stone Skin Technique', which not only makes it look like a rock, but also has the texture of a rock even when touched.
Iguanas are extremely tolerant and can hide in a rock crevice without eating or drinking for half a month, just like a big rock stuck in a rock crevice.
This kind of iguana is not aggressive, but its teeth are highly venomous. It likes to hunt small forest animals for a living.
Unexpectedly, this crested iguana, which is usually best at camouflaging and hiding, would leave Moyunling at this time.
The lizard skin on the pine-crested iguana is highly sought after by the small lords of the Green Empire. Therefore, this kind of gentle iguana is a rare prey in the eyes of many adventure groups. It just appeared in Chapter 1
The second team's sight caused quite a commotion among the second group of soldiers.
Augustus on the hillside in the distance made a gesture to Suldak to apply for hunting the crested iguana.
Surdak thought about it carefully and felt that this was a rare opportunity. He wanted to give it a try, so he left two recruits to continue to watch on the hillside. If an evil spirit approached, they must
Giving a warning in advance, he pulled He Boqiang and ran down the hillside.
The pine-crested iguana seems to have the ability to predict danger. As soon as there was a slight movement on the hillside, the iguana at the bottom of the hillside suddenly fled towards the rock pile a few hundred meters away. Despite its huge size, it ran very fast.
It's not clumsy at all. The four lizard legs are thrown away as smoothly as a land canoe. Every time the foot exerts force, the body will suddenly jump forward.
Suldak did not expect that the pine-crested iguana would be so alert. By the time He Boqiang arrived at the bottom of the hillside, the iguana had already dived into the rocks.
At this time, Augustus, Red Stockings, and Bearded Men also ran over from the hill on the other side. Everyone saw the iguana getting into the rocks with their own eyes, and they all gathered around the rocks.
Red Socks and Big Beard were holding alloy bows and were guarding the east and west sides of the pile of rocks. As long as the iguana ran out of the pile of rocks, it would break into the shooting range of the two men.
The iguana is so big that it is difficult to escape from two half-hearted shooters.
But when everyone searched the rubble pile inside and out, the most embarrassing thing happened. There was no trace of the monitor lizard.
"Search……"
Surdak spat on a boulder and gave instructions to his four soldiers.
Augustus was the first to jump onto the boulder with the Paglio spear in his hand. The spear in his hand stabbed towards a boulder without any explanation. The tip of the spear pierced the rock wall. Suddenly sparks flew everywhere and a bulge formed.
The rock cracked, but it was not the iguana. Augustus shouted: "Red socks, I should paint them, not this one..."
That's right, once you can't find the crested iguana mixed in the rocks, the best way is to use the carpet inspection method to eliminate the nearby rocks one by one.
He Boqiang followed Suldak, and also pulled out the Roman sword from his waist, preparing to greet the boulder.
But he was stopped by Suldak, "You are crazy. How can you use the newly made Roman sword like this? I don't need the blade anymore. Red Socks, take out your logging ax..."
"Captain, this is...!"
The red sock sticks to the rock like a bitter melon.
"What's the point? If you break the blade, go back to the military camp and go to the logistics department to get a new one!"
Surdak glared.
"Yes, Captain!"
Red Socks quickly raised her chest and agreed.
'boom……'
'Bang bang...'
There are not many white granites on this pile of rocks. Just hit a rock with an ax to verify whether it is a crested iguana. Every rock that is cracked will be marked.
Two quarters of an hour later, nearly half of the rocks on the pile of rocks were painted with carbon black as marks.
With his feet straddling two rocks with mottled colors and moss growing out of the cracks, He Boqiang rubbed his aching shoulders. The wooden handle of the logging ax in his hand was cracked by the strong force of the shock.
The ax blade was shattered into a mess. After He Boqiang was promoted, he had not fully adapted to the strength of his arms. Now he turned the ax with all his strength. The entire logging ax blade was completely piled up, making it look more like a handle now.
hammer.
As the logging ax in his hand hit a huge rock next to him, He Boqiang suddenly felt the huge rock under his feet tremble slightly. After careful observation, a faint magical aura radiated through the rock. This was clearly the pine-crested hyena.
Lizard, one of his feet just stepped on its head.
At this moment, there are no traces of patterns on the body of the pine-crested iguana. Except that the body and the surrounding rocks are the same color, even the mottled marks on the skin are exactly the same.
Having made this discovery, He Boqiang was not busy disturbing the iguana, but waved around and asked everyone in the second team to come closer to him.
Augustus was closest to He Boqiang. He came over in a few steps with a Paglio spear in hand and asked He Boqiang: "Little Duck, what's going on?"
He Boqiang pointed at his feet, and Augustus discovered the unusual rocks at his feet.
Augustus raised his spear in the air with both hands and stabbed the rock at He Boqiang's feet with all his strength. Pagliou's spear first splashed some sparks, and the gravel cracked, but there was flesh and blood inside the rock formation.
Augustus's strength was limited, so the thorn just hit the back of the crested iguana. Although the tip of the spear was completely immersed in the body of the monitor lizard, it actually did not cause any substantial damage to the monitor lizard.
The boulder under his feet suddenly turned over, and He Boqiang, who stepped on the pine-crested monitor lizard, lost his balance and fell backwards.
The giant lizard's huge mouth full of fangs suddenly opened and bit down on the left foot of He Boqiang, who was very close at hand.
He Boqiang only felt that the giant lizard was rushing towards him. He did not dare to hesitate and threw the logging ax in his hand towards the giant lizard. The giant ax hit the giant lizard's mouth directly. The giant lizard actually smashed the logging axe's head into one
Biting it off, the huge head flicked violently, the ax handle broke from it, and the big mouth opened towards He Boqiang again...
