"There are probably so many areas we need to search." Quinn took a pen and drew two vertical lines in the Owendale Mountains: "The scouts of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion are not professional, and the places they have checked may not necessarily be safe, but Within the limited time, we can only temporarily choose places that have not been searched yet."
"Our team will be divided into two parts, one part will be led by Pickel, and the other part will be led by me, and we will dig through the entire area at both ends!"
The map also marked the place where the traces were found by the Fearless Pioneer Battalion, but after a few days of snow, those traces quietly disappeared.
"Divide into two teams?" Picker frowned and asked: "There are only six of us in total. Do we want to continue dividing? How?"
"I've already seen the strength of the team from last night." Quinn nodded: "We don't need teamwork like ordinary soldiers. If you weren't all good at investigation work, I would even want you to form an independent team. .
At present, you are the only one in the team. I can conduct a reasonable investigation of this ghost place, so I divided it into two teams. I will lead Gracie and... Partridge, Dobbin and you are old teammates, so I will follow you, Needham as It complements the strength of your team."
"Can."
In the tent late at night, Quinn had a big footprint printed on his black leather jacket, but his expression was as usual as he was talking about his plans.
Chai Anping was in a strange mood. As the creator of Big Footprint, he was still listening carefully to Quinn's deployment.
"I suspect that the Noxian army will not stay too far away from the battlefield, and will even send people to keep an eye on the battlefield. A group of us started searching from the snowfields towards the mountains, and you continued the search progress from the Dauntless Vanguard Battalion. .”
The arrows on the map indicated very clearly. After looking at it for a moment, Picker nodded, with a faint shoe print on his face: "I understand."
"No matter which group of people finds a clue, they must immediately report it to the Fearless Pioneer Camp and notify the other group." Quinn continued: "If no clue is found for more than five days, they must return to the camp to report the situation."
"Replenish your equipment tomorrow and set off immediately!"
"yes!"
"The meeting is dismissed!"
"Fight next?" Chai Anping asked tentatively.
"...Sleep, sleep!" Quinn glared at him: "It's just a fight, the worst is that we won't talk about it again!"
Tsk.
Chai Anping couldn't help but feel sad listening to her peculiar dialect that even had a bit of a Freljord accent. He snorted to express his attitude. Chai Anping saw everyone getting into sleeping bags, and he quickly lay down. Down.
When I slept until midnight, I seemed to vaguely hear Quinn, who was sleeping next to me, grinding his teeth and talking in his sleep:
"I was kicked by Shelley today, and I will bear this grudge!"
No, Chai Anping was shocked - why do you have such a standard tone when talking about sleep talking?!
…
…
The next day, Chai Anping was awakened by the noise around the tent. The soldiers of the Fearless Pioneer Battalion, who had a good sleep schedule, got up very early.
"Well……"
He twisted around and bumped into someone else's sleeping bag before he realized clearly - ah, it turned out he was not in his own bed.
After being washed away by the alchemy magic overnight, the pain all over his body had disappeared. He immediately got up and put on his coat full of energy. The brazier in the tent had been extinguished, but with six people huddled together, the temperature was still comfortable.
After a rough wash, Pickel also returned with the armaments everyone needed.
"The supplies are enough for everyone for seven or eight days. After breakfast, we can pack up our backpacks and set off."
He distributed the pass certificates for the Fearless Vanguard division: "With this in hand, even if you come back alone, you will not be blocked. Please be sure to keep it. The code words for the connection are your respective names."
Everyone had a quick breakfast, and after reporting the plan, they divided into two groups and went their separate ways directly in front of the gate of the camp according to Quinn's instructions yesterday.
The gray cloak becomes their best protective color in the snow.
Quinn, Chai Anping and their team have to climb the entire mountain to reach the snowfield on the opposite side. The task is more difficult, but with the assistance of Valor's eagle eye perspective, the range they can search will be larger!
Although they did not have the assistance of war horses, the grouping arranged by Quinn was meaningful. The three of them had the strength of a thousand captains, and their walking distance was even faster than the minimum, and they were still in a place with deep snow.
The alchemical magic power in Chai Anping's body is running, replicating the effect of the medicine that can warm the body. At this time, the auxiliary effect of the alchemical magic power is revealed. By reducing the loss of heat, Chai Anping can save more physical strength for marching and reconnaissance.
.
Looking around, they saw a vast white world. The towering peaks were as high as the sky. They had no intention of crossing over from the highest peak of the Owendale Mountains. That was not the brain circuit that normal people should have. They took a roundabout way.
Going up the mountainside and over the mountains was the path Quinn chose.
"The hard days are about to begin."
Chai Anping muttered to himself and quickly followed Quinn's pace.
The Carbonol mixture first obtained from Lux became an important buff for Chai Anping in this rally race. It continued to restore his physical strength while also constantly strengthening his body.
Chai Anping's current weak point should be his physical fitness. Even after taking [Troll Potion], it only narrowed the gap between him and those powerful warriors who have been training since childhood. In comparison, he is still slightly inferior.
"Snowing."
Quinn suddenly said, and the other two people looked up.
I saw that the originally clear sky had indeed begun to fall with little bits of snow.
The blue-winged giant eagle flying in the sky had no choice but to fall down, its talons embedded in Quinn's crossbow, and it helplessly cried out to its master.
Quinn patted its head lovingly: "You can rest."
"...This means." Quinn suddenly turned around and whispered: "We have to start taking a detour and search areas where enemies may be hiding."
"yes."
Neither Partridge nor Chai Anping had much ability to know the way, and Quinn didn't dare to let them disperse to search, otherwise it would be funny when the others were gone.
The three of them changed direction and rushed towards a valley on the map.
But the snowflakes began to fall more and more fiercely, and the scout team seemed to have encountered difficulties on the first day of search. The poor climate environment of Owendale was more troublesome than the war masons' prying eyes!
Heavy snowflakes fell on the cloak. If they didn't shake it, they could easily stay on top of each other.
"What a bad weather..."
Quinn sighed, and Valor hid under her robe, and the two provided each other with warmth.
"Hurry to that valley, there might be a place to hide."
Chai Anping struggled to keep his eyes open in the wind and snow. He had lived in the south since he was a child. When had he ever seen such a battle?!
In just about half an hour, the soft snow was already knee-deep as soon as it fell under my feet. After the excitement was over, what followed was a strenuous feeling like dripping water.
"Damn it, how can you find someone in this damn weather?"
