Chapter 053 The second exploration of the wolf's lair is strange
The team continued to advance, and of course Liu Yifei was not in a state of idleness the whole time. The only time when it was his turn to take action was when he and another militiaman who accompanied the team collected the spoils after the war.
Wolf skins, tendons and even large tusks, these things can be cashed in through their own channels when they are brought back. A few veterans are directing Liu Yifei and the two to clean them up. It can be regarded as a different kind of "hands covered with blood"...
The task was relatively easy, but Liu Yifei's mind never stopped thinking for a moment.
First of all, his thinking is clearer than that of all other players. There are always countless details worth digging into in highly flexible situations such as campaigns and plot missions. If he is just satisfied with the step-by-step and rules-based game, then
Will eventually be lost to everyone~
The various previous reminders only stated that the size of the wolf pack was estimated to be more than twenty. Although there was no upper limit, I guess the patrolmen's judgment would not be too wrong.
But along the way, first of all, this cave is a bit too big, with twists and turns inside...a natural maze? Damn it, Mingyue City is surrounded by plains and hills, how could there be such a strange place?
On this journey, their team alone killed seven wolves. This ratio was a bit high. On the contrary, the size of the wolf pack was much larger than the patrol expected.
But even if there is a wolf king, it is impossible to say that the IQ of the wolves will be high enough to cover up traces of external activities. How can a mere beast make such a big error in the tracking judgment of regular patrols?
Unfortunately, there were not many clues. During the entire search process, Liu Yifei could only say that he tried his best to pay attention to any omissions.
The biggest advantage of traveling in a group is that it is relaxing and without danger. Unfortunately, Liu Yifei wanted to experience some high-intensity battles... In the end, after more than an hour of searching, all ten teams returned successfully without any casualties. Liu Yifei wanted to
The desire to have a big fight is finally overturned~
Liu Yifei originally thought that this plot mission was in vain, but after he and his team watched Lieutenant Sovari's loot count, two details suddenly aroused his vigilance:
First, there are too many wolves. There are more than 70 pieces of wolf skins alone. Counting those that have been cut into pieces and have no recycling value, the number is close to a hundred! A wolf pack of this size can be seen in Mingyue.
The area around the city is a bit exaggerated...
Second, no trace of the Wolf King was found...
In fact, the second point is the biggest doubt. Without the suppression of the wolf king, there are nearly a hundred wolves. How could they be huddled in a corner of the forest so quietly? At least they would not be indifferent to the arrival of everyone last night.
~
Ten teams started searching at the same time, leaving marks along the way. Either the wolf king was not in the lair, or there were still some hidden corners of the cave...
If Liu Yifei was the commander, he would definitely split up the troops again, adjust the troops into twenty teams, and start cleaning again! If you encounter one or two lone wolves who slipped through the net, you will not be afraid at all. If you encounter many, you will immediately tell them what happened last time.
There is something wrong with the sweep, there must be something wrong somewhere!
There is no need to worry about dangers caused by large crowds. After all, in principle, the cave has already been swept once, so safety is relatively guaranteed.
It's a pity that Liu Yifei has no power at the moment, so even if he has ideas, he can't put them into action.
Liu Yifei originally thought that the mission would be over, but what surprised him the most was... No! There was actually more than two hours left in the mission! In other words, if Liu Yifei was willing, he could spend these two hours on exercise
It can also be regarded as a good harvest, which can make up for the small loss of more than an hour before~
However, he had doubts in his heart, so Liu Yifei decided to try his best.
Driven by his lustful power, Sanle and several other poor people became victims again. They were asked to try to make some noise to attract the attention of a small group of soldiers who were on duty at the entrance of the cave. Liu Yifei took the opportunity to make a second attempt.
Enter the wolf's lair.
This time there was no one around to get in the way, and general safety was guaranteed. Liu Yifei quickly started to wander around the entire cave.
But he turned around twice based on his memory, but still found nothing, and an inexplicable sense of disharmony always lingered in his heart, but he still couldn't figure it out... Helpless, Liu Yifei finally decided to check again one last time.
Try to be slower and more meticulous this time. If there is no gain, he will have to accept the reality~
In order to make the search more secure and without omissions, Liu Yifei decided to use local materials, including blood and meat, from previously abandoned wolf corpses, leaving marks along the way. This way, he could ensure that there would be no problems due to the large place and the small number of people.
What omissions occurred.
Now Liu Yifei noticed something was wrong!
It wasn't that he discovered some hidden passage or something, but he noticed that the number of wolf corpses was wrong! There were fewer!!!
After walking around for a while, Liu Yifei finally counted less than sixty wolf corpses!
Damn it~ There are more than seventy fresh and bloody wolf furs drying in the open space right now! Why are some bodies missing?
After determining where the dissonance that had been lingering in his heart was, Liu Yifei started searching for the fourth time... Thanks to the fact that he had spread wolf blood everywhere before, Liu Yifei finally found a strange trace of blood spreading. It was obvious that there was a very strange trace there.
Tiny, barely noticeable gaps!
Liu Yifei carefully knocked around, trying to see if there were any secret door slabs or the like. Unfortunately, his investigative methods were limited to this. After all, he had no serious investigative skills or talent, so he could only rely on
Do some detailed work based on past experience~
In the end, Liu Yifei came up with a solution, which was to put his ear to the ground and listen carefully on the stone wall. If he could hear something... let alone! Just behind one of the stone walls, Liu Yifei actually listened.
When it came to the clear roar of animals, it sounded like a wolf but not a wolf, and it actually seemed like two wolves were having a conversation!
【What the hell? Is there a werewolf hiding behind the stone?】
After tinkering for a while, Liu Yifei determined that he would not be able to deal with the abnormality here alone, so he had no choice but to exit the cave and report.
When Liu Yifei just walked out of the cave, he was so frightened by the team of soldiers standing guard at the door! If the superiors found out that someone bypassed their duties and caused trouble in the cave, I'm afraid the entire team would be punished~
Although the team leader was very dissatisfied with Liu Yifei's private actions, under Liu Yifei's unequivocal guarantee, he finally chose to report the whole incident truthfully, and Lieutenant Sovari also rushed to the entrance of the cave with his people as soon as possible...
