Chapter 1316 The Elite Team of the Hundred Knives Regiment
This place is no longer deep in the mountains. Although the mountain roads are still densely covered with thorns, there are still traces of people coming and going.
Such traces seemed ordinary in the past, but recently due to the invasion of Japanese pirates, the surrounding Dahua people either died or fled. How could they leave traces of activity in Siyang Mountain?
"Look, the broken branches of these branches are still new, so there must be someone active nearby. At this time, there is no one else but the Japanese pirates. Moreover, it seems that the other party is definitely not alone. There are obvious signs of mess, there are at least a dozen people.
Team. This also means that the person who came is not the person you believe. Maybe he is also among them..."
Xia Shang finished speaking coldly and looked back at Ji Zi.
Xia Shang's words meant that he had begun to suspect that the Japanese pirate boy might have gone back to report the news, and then brought helpers to catch them all.
Fortunately, we have the protection of the formation here. For Japanese pirates who don't understand Qimen Dunjia, no matter how powerful they are, they won't be able to find their way up the mountain.
Ji Zi naturally heard the meaning of Xia Shang's words and replied anxiously: "Impossible! 04 will never betray me. Could these traces be left by some Chinese people hiding in the mountains? After all,
When the Japanese invaders invaded, I know that many Chinese people chose to flee and live in the mountains."
"There is more than one mountain in Siyang Mountain around here. The mountains in Siyang Mountain are extremely steep and unparalleled in comparison with other mountains. Living here will either fall off cliffs, deep valleys, or be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards. Ordinary people will never dare to go deep into the four mountains."
Come from Yangshan. Therefore, the people who come here must not be ordinary people."
Jizi still wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain, because she also knew very well that what Xia Shang said made sense. If there were traces of people here, they might be Japanese pirates.
And why did the Japanese pirates come here? There is really no other explanation except that they chose someone to inform them.
"Then...then what should we do now?"
Xia Shang's eyes gradually turned cold: "That's it, in this deep mountain, the side with fewer people has an advantage. I have rested here for many days, and the injuries on my body have healed. Since the Japanese pirates dare to go deep into the forest,
Then I will just deal with them all."
Yoshiko said nothing because she knew she could not let the man in front of her change his decision.
"You can do whatever you want, but this time you have to take me with you. If you have the chance to meet me,
04, I must ask him personally why he did this."
"Perhaps your people were exposed and you were caught before you could succeed. Maybe you were tortured and forced to interrogate."
"No, 04 will never be caught. Even if he is caught, he will not betray me."
"Why do you have so much confidence in that boy?"
"..." Yoshiko didn't know how to explain it, so he whispered, "Anyway, I want to ask him personally."
"Okay, since you insist on following, then follow, but if you encounter danger, you must hide first."
"I know, I'm not a child."
Jizi was a little impatient with Xia Shang's reminder. After coming to Dahua, she also experienced a lot of dangers. She was no longer the rich lady she was in the early days of Japan. Even if she didn't have fighting power, she still had a sense of danger and the ability to adapt to the situation.
of.
Xia Shang grabbed Ji Zi's hand and began to examine the traces on the ground.
Because the people who left these traces did not do anything to hide it, it is still very easy to judge the routes of these people from these traces.
And because they were protected by formations when traveling deep into the mountains, these people could only circle around the outside of the formations, so their walking routes were very regular and not fast.
After following the traces for more than an hour, Xia Shang discovered a dozen Japanese pirates sitting around a fire and eating on a flat land beside a cliff.
A dozen meters away from these, Xia Shang was hiding behind a century-old tree that was also on the edge of the cliff.
This distance is already very close. Judging from the state of the Japanese pirates while they were resting, they are definitely a group of well-trained warriors. Even if they have taken off their samurai swords, the swords are still in their hands.
As long as there is a slight movement, their speed of drawing the sword will not be slower than usual.
However, the Japanese pirate boy was not seen among these people.
"Is there anyone you know over there?" Xia Shang asked in a low voice.
Yoshiko shook his head.
"The people on the other side are all gathered together, and we don't know how strong they are. It may be dangerous to attack rashly like this." Xia Shang pondered, turning to look at Jizi, "Do you want to help me?"
"How to help?"
Xia Shang thought for a while and leaned into Ji Zi's ear.
…
Xia Shang did not notice that most of the Japanese pirates in front were injured. Although they were all gathered together, they did not communicate much with each other.
Most people were sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding their chests out and closing their eyes to meditate.
In this seemingly unprepared state, they were actually paying close attention to the goings-on around them.
If Xia Shang had looked closer, he would have discovered that the necks of these Japanese warriors had the same tattoos as the Japanese warriors he had encountered in deserted villages.
People from the King’s Hundred Swords Regiment!
Moreover, the color of these people's tattoos are all red, and among these reds, there are actually three people with the strongest symbols.
Bright red tattoo!
At this moment, a warrior with a bright red tattoo suddenly tilted his head slightly and moved his ears.
Following the action of this samurai, the three samurai immediately drew out their samurai swords and looked seriously at the big tree more than ten meters away.
"Go and have a look."
The warrior squeezed out three words coldly, and the three warriors under his command cautiously explored the direction of the big tree.
These people were very careful. They walked a short distance of more than ten meters for a full minute. They walked around the big tree but saw no one. When they were confused, they suddenly saw the back of a woman in the farther direction.
Now the three warriors relaxed, and turned around and shouted to the leader in bird language: "A rich woman! Hehehehe..."
As he said this, the three Japanese pirates had a malicious smile on their faces.
"Why are there Dahua women?" someone in the team asked.
"I heard that many Chinese people have fled to the mountains. It's not surprising to meet a Chinese woman here." The leader said calmly, "Let the three of them catch that woman back."
Speaking of women, the eyes of several people in the team shone brightly, and several people offered to arrest them, but they were all frightened by the look of the leader.
"Let the three of them go."
The three people beside the big tree received the instruction, their faces were full of excitement, and they quickly turned around and chased in the direction of the woman.
As soon as the three of them left, the leading Japanese warrior seemed to have thought of something and lowered his voice: "No. 7, follow us and take a look. Be careful and don't let others take advantage of us."
