The cold wind howled in the jungle close to the tropics, causing the trees to form strings of frost and ice ridges, making the surroundings cascade with crystals, freezing all kinds of strange and endless insects.
These are not strong, and larger creatures, such as snakes and spiders, can easily break free. However, they are afraid of the severe cold. As soon as they recover, they recede like the tide, leaving an area of 20 to 30 meters in radius completely silent.
Lou Cheng sensed his surroundings, turned his head and said to "Shadow Hunter" Cheng An:
"Request, uh, to communicate with the joint command, tell them that they found out that the Tagu group is suspected of having Waigang-level experts to help them, and ask what to do next."
He originally wanted to say to request air support, reconnaissance and bombing, but when he looked up and saw the dense leaves and the scattered light of the morning light, he changed his mind in time.
"Yes." Cheng An immediately took out a dedicated satellite phone from his backpack and reported the situation here to the joint command headquarters.
After a short discussion, a new order was issued: keep tracking, and if in danger, you can leave on your own. The primary goal changed from capturing Ta Gu to confirming the "identity" of the Waigang-level strongman, and investigating which force intervened.
"Then let's continue." Lou Cheng breathed in the jungle air mixed with the smell of rotting leaves, and did not foresee any strong danger for the time being.
Continue... Smith grinned helplessly, shot out spider silk from his palm, and wrapped it around a giant branch.
With this pull, he rose into the air, left the ground, and landed high in the trees. Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, he looked at the passage ahead, serving as a "scout" dutifully.
"There are no enemies within three hundred meters..." Smith made a judgment.
In the jungle, with his eyesight, even from the commanding heights, he could only complete reconnaissance within this distance.
Lou Cheng watched with great interest as the "Spider" became more and more professional, and under the guidance of Cheng An, he quickly followed it.
…………
Not too far or too close, Ta Gu looked gloomy and followed the old man in black shorts and sallow skin, sometimes running straight ahead and sometimes turning corners.
Because of the presence of non-combatants, even if they were carried on the backs of close subordinates, the team's marching speed was greatly reduced, which made Ta Gu very uneasy.
His eyes swept across several wives and young children, and a fierce look gradually flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he saw the old man with sparse and silver hair suddenly stop in his steps, turned back in surprise, and looked diagonally behind him.
"Mr. Talin, what's wrong?" Tagu was startled and blurted out.
The old man Talin's already stiff face became even more rigid, and he answered in a slightly serious tone:
"The arrangement I left behind was resolved in less than five seconds."
"We're in trouble..."
"Is it the 'Waigang level'?" Tagu swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty. The expressions of each of the capable officers who were following him changed.
His sphere of influence is close to the State of China, and he is accustomed to using the other party's ranking criteria to classify.
Talin took a breath and said:
"should be."
"I didn't expect that China and the United States would value you so much that they would send 'Waigang-level' experts here."
This was beyond the organization’s expectations!
Eliminating small forces like Ta Gu, for China and the United States, even if they only exist unilaterally, they should not make such a fuss!
If this kind of thing bothers the "Waigang level" experts, it only means that their military is wasting its budget!
In order not to expose the secret of the secret alliance, I am only responsible for the first half of this operation!
"This..." Ta Gu's expression became more and more gloomy. He couldn't figure out why China and the United States valued him so much and were cautious to the point of perversion.
How am I worthy of being attacked by a "Waigang level" strong man?
"Mr. Talin, what should we do?" He breathed a sigh of relief, and Tagu didn't think about the reason anymore. It had nothing to do with changing the current situation.
Talin pondered for a moment and said:
"First try to see if we can confuse their tracking. As soon as we leave the jungle and reach the border, we will have responders."
As he spoke, fluffy insects, either green or milky white, emerged from the ground under his feet, forming a torrent with strange spiders and colorful snakes coming from all around.
These creatures crawled toward the tower bones, toward his wife and children, and toward those extraordinary and powerful confidants.
When their scalps were numb and they were instinctively resisting, Talin spoke in a deep voice:
"Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."
Holding back their fear and goosebumps, these insects crawled over every human present outside the forest, carrying different "pheromones" and spreading out in all directions, heading to the southeast, northwest, and southeast.
"Let's go." Talin touched his dry white hair and headed southeast first.
Ta Gu restrained his inner impulse and decided to have hope again.
If it doesn't work, then give up the others.
As long as you are still alive, what will happen to you?
…………
After tracking for a while, "Shadow Hunter" Cheng An suddenly stopped.
"Anything found?" Lou Cheng looked around and saw many traces, and they were pointing to different locations.
"It seems that the Tagu gang has separated?" Cheng An used his powers to explore the "shadow" and answered hesitantly.
This separation is very strange, because there are more or less the same "aura" in several directions.
Smith slid down from under the tree, sniffed, frowned and said:
"I smell spiders, here, here..."
He is very sensitive to similar things and it comes from instinct.
"It seems they took advantage of bugs." "Storm Giant" Dwyane was deeply impressed by the "scenery" before.
He had several jungle combat experiences and joined the ranks of searching for traces and providing advice.
With the help of Smith and others, Cheng An finally discerned the "truth" and led the team members to continue their pursuit.
…………
The Tagu gang hurriedly shuttled through the jungle. No one spoke a word, and the atmosphere was quite tense. It seemed that if there was just one more straw, the situation that they were trying to maintain would collapse.
After a few minutes, Talin paused again, making everyone's hearts suddenly hang in their throats.
"Catching up?" Ta Gu made the worst guess.
"They should have the most professional trackers." Talin's stiff face twitched, "They are already very close to us!"
From the corner of his eye, Ta Gu glanced at his wife, children and subordinates, and asked in a deep voice:
"Is there any way out?"
Is it possible to escape if you only take me with you?
Talin was silent for a moment and said seriously:
"We have to fight back, lay an ambush, and try to hit them hard. Then things will be simple."
If you just run away, you may not be able to outrun the enemy because you are not good at speed. The opponent can just bring subordinates who are good at tracking.
It's better to take advantage of the few capable people in Tagu to fight!
"Are you sure?" Tagu narrowed his eyes and no longer worried about the face of the "Waigang level" strong man.
Talin looked back and looked into the distance, and replied with a hint of coldness in his hoarse voice:
"I'm very good at setting traps and ambushes. As for whether we can get the best results, it depends on whether you are willing to work hard."
"Exactly, this is what I'm good at!" Tagu said through gritted teeth.
…………
The trees swept back, and the unique scenery of this place receded step by step.
As Smith gradually blended into the atmosphere, he suddenly saw Lou Cheng stop his body, stretch his arms horizontally, and stop everyone.
"There is a problem ahead." Lou Cheng said, looking at the jungle scene dozens of meters away without any abnormalities.
With a thump, Smith heard his own heartbeat and almost turned around and ran away.
"Any question?" Cheng An, the "Shadow Hunter", looked at him in confusion and asked.
He didn't find any danger, the insects, birds and insects were still active there, and the "shadow" there was extremely normal.
"I smell danger..." Lou Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.
He did not try to find enemies, identify traps, or do delicate work, but instead condensed a red and violent fireball around him.
After red, there are lavender, light blue, blazing white, and golden. The building is surrounded by "symbols of gods".
Whoosh whoosh!
He didn't say anything, and just let the "five fires" blast out in turn, one after another, to achieve saturated coverage.
During this process, he adjusted the frequency so that the speed of the recondensed fireball could keep up with the progress of the launch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Black dust clouds rose up one after another, trees were broken or broken one after another, deep pits appeared one after another, and fireworks of different colors bloomed one after another.
In just a few dozen seconds, the jungle was cleared.
As for the trap, what is it?
"Cough cough cough!" Talin, Tagu and others jumped back in confusion, exposing their bodies.
In that short period of time just now, they felt that they had been plowed by artillery troops.
