Chapter 34: Stealth Investigation

Luo Yong and Luo Jin are about the same age. Luo Yong is twenty-six and Luo Jin is twenty-three. They can almost be said to have grown up together since they were young. Naturally, their friendship is not shallow. In addition, Luo Jin's own personality is also exquisite. , After the two chatted for a while, the depression in Luo Yong's heart obviously dissipated a lot.

At this moment, Luo Jin's voice suddenly paused, "Wait!"

"What?" Luo Yong subconsciously clenched the double axe in his hand and tightened his nerves.

Without further ado, with his dexterous skills, Luo Jin quickly took two steps towards the left front, and then squatted down, "Footprints."

"Footprints?" Rayong, who was also approaching, glanced at the snow, then frowned, "Why didn't I see it?"

"It snowed last night, and the footprints were covered a lot, but they still left a very shallow outline. You can see it if you look closely." Luo Jin's eyes kept looking around while he spoke. Sweeping, as if looking for clues.

"Could it be that you left it yesterday?" Having said that, Luo Yong's tone has obviously become a lot more dignified.

"Impossible." Luo Jin shook his head decisively, "We didn't go this way at all yesterday, and this footprint leads in that direction..."

While speaking, Luo Jin, who had already discerned the direction from the traces left on the snow, quickly pointed to one of the directions, "I am afraid that after we left yesterday, people from other tribes came here."

When Rayong heard this, his breathing suddenly became short. When he found people from other tribes, it meant that a war might be waged, and the opportunity to make a fortune was imminent!

Luo Jin, who seemed to realize something, squinted at Luo Yong quickly, and there was a hint of speechlessness in his tone, "Hey, don't do anything stupid, act without order, this will be punished heavily, no credit yet, Do you want to be punished first?"

"Uh." Luo Yong's expression froze when he heard this, "Then what do you say?"

"You go back first, meet with the other wolf warriors, and protect the people you brought over. I'll touch it and take a look by myself."

"Hey, Luo Jin, I just told me not to act without authorization, but are you going to act without authorization?"

In this regard, Luo Jin said confidently, "What is unauthorized action? I am the captain of the reconnaissance team. The patriarch said that in the case of discovering enemies or other tribes, I have the authority to decide whether to conduct reconnaissance or not!"

"Then you take me with you too." Luo Yong said with an unwilling face.

"Don't make trouble, you don't have any investigative experience. Besides, you're so big, and I'll take you there, doesn't that increase the risk of my exposure?" Luo Jin pushed Luo Yong again while speaking, "Go back and protect others. , if something unexpected happens, I will send a signal, and, after I have determined the location of the enemy tribe, if we want to fight next, there will be opportunities for you to perform, what are you anxious about?"

After all, Luo Yong was finally persuaded to go back. With a sigh of relief, Luo Jin quickly took out a large white fur from the package behind him and put it on his body. This fur was specially made by Luo Ji in the tribe. They came out and sent it to their reconnaissance team. In the words of their patriarch, this is called a protective color. As long as you put on this white fur, and then lay down on the snow, if the enemy does not look carefully, they will not be able to find their existence at all.

Luo Jin, who had put on the white fur, lowered his body and slowly followed the footprints left on the snow. During the whole process, he was in a very calm mood as he quickly entered the state, and his ears carefully captured the surroundings. All the sounds, and the line of sight kept wandering.

"Someone!" With the sound of a shredding sound, Luo Jin's heart tightened, and he quickly fell to the ground. With the white fur on his body, he almost wanted to merge with the snow.

The wandering eyes carefully observed the surroundings, only to see two barbarians passing by dozens of meters away. After taking a sigh of relief, maintaining the posture of lying on the snow, slowly crawling forward with his arms for a certain distance...

"I see." Looking from a distance, the other party's tribal camp was only as big as a fist, but Luo Jin's face was full of solemnity, "I didn't expect that there was actually a tribe in such a place, this tribe and Our tribe's one-way journey only takes half a day, and if the other party discovers our tribe, they will attack suddenly..."

Thinking of this, Luo Jin's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, "Damn it, it's my mistake, I rushed back to report to the patriarch after discovering the white radish yesterday, but neglected to investigate the surrounding area, and I don't know if the other party has any Notice the footprints we left yesterday, if we did, our existence would have been exposed."

"What should I do? Should I retreat now and report the situation here to the patriarch, or should I investigate the situation of this tribe in depth?" Luo Jin's current position is quite far from the other tribe, and he can basically only see the outline of a camp. , he couldn't see anything else, this delicate situation made him fall into a dilemma, his mind was a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

"Huh--" He slowly exhaled a long breath, Luo Jin forced himself to calm down, "Calm down, calm down! The protective color that the patriarch gave me is very useful, and there is basically snow in the vicinity. It should be no problem to get close to a certain distance, after confirming some basic information, I will immediately find an opportunity to retreat, um, just do it, there is absolutely no problem!"

Holding his breath, Luo Jin cautiously crawled forward. During this whole process, he did not choose a straight line, but rather cleverly adopted a detour. Take advantage of the high ground, and at the same time prevent your traces on the snow from being easily discovered by the barbarians of the opposing tribe.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the tribal camp, which was originally only the size of a fist, was also continuously enlarged in his sight. .

Luo Jin did not doubt his intuition. His intuition had rescued him and his reconnaissance team many times during reconnaissance missions. Lying still on the snow, he was suppressing his sense of existence, and his breathing was unusually gentle. A pair of eyes constantly swept across the other's tribal camp.

It is impossible to confirm the number of warriors and population of the other tribe in a short period of time. To do this, he needs at least a whole day of lurking observation, but this kind of long-term close-range lurking is too dangerous. So, with a smart mind, he quickly came up with a solution. He could count the tents, and the tents would neither run nor hide. As long as the number of tents was clearly counted, the number of people in this tribe would naturally be roughly approximated. Estimate it!
