Taking advantage of the cover of the night and the grass, the two quickly disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
Li Ming and the Witch quickly climbed up the hillside and hid in a thick bush. They rushed forward along the bush and quickly passed through the wall of the villa in front of them on the mountain and entered a small forest.
This is already the back mountain area of the villa, and the horizontal distance to the rear of the villa is only two to three hundred meters at most.
"Be careful, there are many enemies around." The witch seemed to notice something and suddenly warned softly.
"Is it the shadow guard's secret sentry?" Li Ming looked at the surrounding terrain and knew that the enemy would definitely set up countless secret sentries here to ensure that the secrets in the villa would not be discovered by outsiders.
It is a pity that although the Shadow Guard Secret Whistle is powerful, it has now encountered a nemesis like the Witch...
In terms of combat power alone, the Witch is not as powerful as General Qingfeng, but the Witch knows the demons' shadow guards very well, and is far more powerful than General Qingfeng in dealing with these shadow guards.
Moreover, what Li Ming wants now is to secretly deal with all the hidden whistles. The best goal is to avoid alerting others.
Hiding behind the trees, the witch had already rushed into the distance, and her graceful figure instantly disappeared into the dark forest...
Li Ming waited patiently. After about a few minutes, there was a flash of black light, and the witch had jumped down from the nearby tree and quickly came to his side.
"The surrounding secret sentries have been cleared, you come with me." the witch reminded softly.
She moved forward quickly, turning into a series of afterimages that kept appearing behind the big trees.
Li Ming followed her, keeping a distance of more than ten meters, and the two of them rushed towards the back of the villa, one after the other...
As the two walked out of the forest, more than ten minutes passed. Standing on an open grassy slope, on a stone staircase in the back of the villa in front of them, something that surprised him finally happened!
I saw countless black shadows going back and forth up and down the stone steps in the back mountain. They were all carrying a huge bamboo basket full of black soil...
The shadows rushing towards the hillside walked briskly, with empty bamboo baskets on their backs.
However, the shadows walking down the mountain back to the villa were walking heavily, and some dirt would come out of the bamboo baskets behind them. The stone steps were already covered with a thick layer of black soil and stones.
Two teams of black shadows crisscrossed back and forth, one team going up the mountain and one team going down the mountain...
Li Ming's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly crouched down and used the grass to temporarily hide his figure.
And now he fully understood that the villa here was indeed a base used by the second prince to dig secret passages. The soldiers took off their equipment and secretly helped dig the secret passages in the cave. These stones and soil were obviously convenient.
This is the evidence after digging the cave!
"The entrance to the cave is on the back mountain!" Li Ming looked towards the mountainside where the stone steps led to. He saw a large forest covering the mountainside, and it was unknown what was going on inside.
"When I cleared the secret sentry just now, I had already seen the surrounding terrain. This stone staircase leads to the depths of the dense forest halfway up the mountain. There seems to be a palace hidden there, and that's where these soldiers came in and out," the witch said.
"Great, that must be one side of the secret passage. They actually want to dig through this mountain range, then pass through the towers of the imperial city and dig directly to the location of the imperial tomb!" Li Ming said in surprise.
We have found the starting point of the secret passage here. As long as we determine the location, tonight's operation will be half successful!
But the best result is to know where the secret tunnel has been dug so that he can be mentally prepared and determine the approximate time period when the second prince launched his conspiracy.
Looking at the countless black figures on the mountain road ahead, these guys are all ordinary NPC soldiers. Now they have all removed their armor and weapons, and are just wearing ordinary gray short coats. Everyone looks exactly the same...
By the way, get dressed up!
Li Ming suddenly remembered the last late-night tracking operation. Didn't he deceive the NPC soldiers by wearing night clothes and ordinary armor?
Since the system already has such a setting, will it be the same this time?
"Jinsi, let's find a way to enter the villa and take a look." Li Ming said immediately.
"The villa is heavily guarded with numerous secret sentries and patrolling guards. If you go in, you will definitely be discovered," the witch said in surprise.
"If it's just you who goes in, can it be safe?" Li Ming asked immediately.
"Of course I can come and go as I please, but I can't take you with me." the witch replied.
"Okay, then just go there alone and help me find two sets of short coats and a bamboo basket for each person." Li Ming pointed forward with a smile.
"You are going to dress up like those soldiers..." The witch suddenly widened her beautiful eyes.
"Why, are you scared?" Li Mingxiao asked.
"I'm not afraid of anything, I just feel it's too exciting." The witch turned around with a smile, turned into a string of black shadows, and rushed directly towards the villa...
Li Ming secretly smiled in his heart. She was indeed a witch, and her thoughts and actions were different from ordinary people. If she were a saint, she would definitely not help in this way.
Now that the witch has taken action, he calmly stays in the grass and waits.
"Brother Ming, how are you now?" Lonely Ruyan couldn't help but asked worriedly after waiting for a long time.
"I have found the entrance to the secret passage and am trying to figure out how to get in. If you are not in a hurry, you can go back directly and I will tell you the situation later," Li Ming said.
"We came in together and we must go out together. You hurry up. I'm worried that the secret sentries who were killed in the manor will be discovered soon!" Lonely Ruyan expressed his worries.
"I know, you two try to hide as much as possible and find a place to hide. I will come find you later." Li Ming warned.
After ending the call, Lonely Ruyan immediately informed General Qingfeng of the situation and asked him whether he should continue to wait or find a hidden area to hide until the two of them came back from exploring.
General Qingfeng was actually unwilling to leave, so the two of them quietly moved away along the grassland, looking for a safe hiding place.
On Li Ming's side, after waiting for five or six minutes, a guy wearing a short coat and carrying a bamboo basket suddenly rushed out of the woods behind him, and rushed straight behind Li Ming!
Hearing the slight sound of wind coming from behind, he quickly looked back. The figure he saw was so frightening that he quickly waved his staff and prepared to attack...
"Don't be afraid, it's me." The NPC soldier wearing a short coat suddenly let out a crisp feminine laughter, which was clearly the voice of a witch.
"You, you have changed your disguise..." Li Ming was immediately pleasantly surprised. His guess was indeed correct. The system also set up this kind of identity-hiding prop here to facilitate the players who received this mission to continue exploring safely.
.
"Here, here are your costumes and bamboo basket. Change your clothes quickly." The witch smiled and squatted down. After taking off the bamboo basket, she took out a set of short coat and another bamboo basket...
Li Ming quickly took the short coat and chose to use it. In a flash of light, he completely turned into an NPC soldier...
