The search team led by Elder Liu Yongtai is running through the dense forest.
The elders and deacons who chased to several battlefields and failed to catch Gu Yuan looked livid.
Finally, Elder Du couldn't help but speak.
"Elder Yongtai, the opponent is very strong. He killed many of our guards in a row."
"Even the leading deacon has died over a dozen times. We can no longer disperse our search like this!"
"They waited for the patrol to finish setting off fireworks and then started killing people. After killing the people, they ran away. By the time we arrived, they had already disappeared."
Elder Liu Yongtai looked at Elder Du deeply, thought for a moment and replied:
"Elder Du, you mean that they have such strength but they don't avoid patrols?"
"You just deliberately killed people and asked these guards to release flares just to lure us over?"
Elder Du nodded and replied: "Yes, Elder Yongtai, I think this group of people are obviously trying to distract us by leading us around like this."
Elder Liu Yongtai frowned, "Could it be that they want to defeat us one by one?"
"If this is the case, then their target cannot be just our Outer Deacon Hall."
"Then what are they doing this for?"
Liu Yongtai frowned and thought hard, surrounded by a circle of extremely anxious outer deacons.
"No, I know why they did this!"
"Elder Du, please remind Lin Yuan quickly. Forget it, I'll tell him in person."
Elder Liu Yongtai took out the sound transmission jade pendant. This sound transmission jade pendant is much more advanced than the sound transmission token. It is specially used by the elders of the Liu family to communicate.
The captains of each patrol team, as well as the outer door deacons, all use sound transmission tokens.
As for the ordinary guards, they don't have the magic weapon to transmit sound at all.
"Lin Yuan, this attack may be directed at the Liu family..."
…
After putting away the sound transmission jade pendant, Liu Yongtai said to Elder Du, "You all should be more careful and don't be careless!"
Elder Liu Yongtai's words made several other elders and deacons secretly surprised.
They just thought that they could no longer let the outer deacons and guards go up to die.
At the same time, they want to concentrate their efforts to fight against this hostile force that is constantly killing them.
But it never occurred to me that the enemy might have deliberately dragged them around in circles, achieving the purpose of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and attacking in the east.
"Give me the order!"
Elder Liu Yongtai thought for a moment and ordered: "Half of the staff will go back to protect the hospital, and Elder Lin Yuan who remains in the deacon hall must be alert."
"All the remaining outer deacons will still lead the guard as usual, but if you see anyone suspicious during patrol, whether they are monks or not, please alert them immediately!"
"Don't let go of the signal flares for the time being. Let the deacons in charge use the sound transmission tokens to contact each other!"
"Everyone, please listen clearly. You must not act rashly, let alone fight with it easily!"
"I will personally take the remaining deacons and stay here. Even if I have to dig through the mountain, I will find them!"
Elder Du said worriedly, "Elder Yongtai, there are many enemies..."
"No!"
Elder Liu Yongtai said with certainty, "There must not be many people on the other side!"
Elder Du was stunned and quickly asked: "Why do you say that?"
Elder Liu Yongtai stroked his long beard and said, "Elder Du, if you can beat someone, will you run away?"
Elder Du thought for a moment and said quickly: "No, if you put it this way, they ran away because they couldn't defeat us!"
"Um."
Elder Liu Yongtai continued,
"They are probably outnumbered and can only fight guerrilla warfare."
Elder Du added: "But in these mountains and plains, signal flares will go up every once in a while."
Liu Yongtai continued: "That's because after they killed our escort, they took away the signal bombs and fired them everywhere."
"If they really had the strength to defeat us, they wouldn't be in such trouble. They would have fought us head-on long ago!"
Elder Du took a step forward and whispered, "Elder Yongtai, don't we report it to the Internal Affairs Hall?"
Liu Yongtai spoke slowly and said in a voice that could only be heard by a few nearby elders,
"I have been in Jindan for many years, and I should have been admitted to the Internal Affairs Hall long ago, but these old guys haven't let go."
"If I can accomplish something extraordinary this time, I can successfully enter the House of Internal Affairs."
"As long as I can gain a firm foothold in the Internal Affairs Hall, it will be much easier for you to enter the Internal Affairs Hall when the time comes!"
After hearing Liu Yongtai's words, several elders and deacons' eyes lit up.
As long as Liu Yongtai can enter the Internal Affairs Hall, he will definitely cultivate his own power, and they have followed Liu Yongtai for more than ten years, which is Liu Yongtai's direct descendants.
In other words, as long as Liu Yongtai can eat meat, they can follow suit and drink soup!
After everyone figured this out, they readily agreed and took action immediately.
Elder Liu Yongtai also took the remaining elders and deacons beside him and rushed towards the area where the signal flare was fired again.
Although it was destined to be a failure, Elder Liu Yongtai had to go.
At this moment, Gu Yuan had passed through a forest and came to another trail that was being patrolled by guards.
Gu Yuan suddenly launched an attack and rushed out of the forest, blasting out "Thunder and Fire".
The patrol of more than a dozen people did not even utter a cry. They were all smashed into pieces and died on the spot.
Gu Yuan took the flares from their bodies. This escort brought four flares.
Two of them are green flares that represent the target has been found but are safe, and two red flares that represent danger.
For safety, these flares are covered with a special fireproof material.
At this point, even the fireproof outer skin was a little burnt.
Gu Yuan first placed a green flare on the spot.
He ran into another forest, sounded a red signal flare, and then ran in another direction.
After running a few miles, another signal flare was sounded.
In the following time, Gu Yuan attacked these guards, grabbed signal bombs and placed them everywhere.
The cycle starts over and over again.
The patrol team was exhausted.
If someone in the team begs for mercy, Gu Yuan will let them go.
After all, Gu Yuan just wants to create opportunities for Xiao Ying and Li Cheng so that they can leave safely.
On the way, Gu Yuan also contacted Li Cheng several times using sound transmission jade tokens.
But the little eagle cannot use spiritual power, and patrols are always searching around it.
Li Cheng didn't dare to act rashly, and the two of them were still squatting on the tree until now!
Gu Yuan originally wanted to join them, but they couldn't tell where they were.
This area is full of mountains and dense forests everywhere.
For outsiders like them, there is no reference point and it is impossible to tell where is where.
