Chapter 396: Deepening Into the Northland
At the same time, in the mountains and forests of the Northland, the werewolf troops led by Li Ke were decisively moving quickly, and the difficult terrain under their feet hardly affected them much.
After a while, Li Ke, who was walking in front, suddenly took a breath, and his voice was obviously lowered a little, "Blood smell, and it's still very heavy."
Hearing this, Zhou Yi, who was in charge of supporting Li Ke, frowned when he received Luo Ji's order this time, then turned to look at Jie Zichuan, who was in charge of guiding the way, "Going forward, it should be what you said. That tribal camp, right?"
"Yes." Jie Zichuan nodded solemnly. Human noses are far less sensitive than those of the wolf clan. Although he didn't smell anything, if what Li Ke said is true, then the tribe in front of them is probably also bad luck. not enough.
"Go ahead?" Li Ke cast a questioning look at Zhou Yi. After getting along for a few days, he also knew that this human brain was quite good, and before leaving, Luo Ji also warned that if he encountered any problems, he would pay more attention to it. Ask Zhou Yi.
"It is natural to continue to move forward, but let's go around from the other side." Zhou Yi made such a decision after thinking about it for a while.
Going forward, he was a little worried about hitting those hyenas directly. After all, the main purpose of their trip was to recruit the barbarian tribes, not to clear the hyenas. Under this premise, it is better to be safe.
While the thoughts were flying, Zhou Yi said again, "Just in case, all the crossbow soldiers should check whether the crossbow strings are in good condition."
This time, in addition to the main werewolf troop, the human troop was equipped with 150 sword shield soldiers plus 50 crossbow soldiers, and the leading general was Zhou Yi.
After all, the city has to be defended, so it is impossible to send too many troops out at once. However, it can be seen from the 50-man crossbowmen squad that the gold content of this unit is not low at all.
At the same time, Luo Ji had also seriously considered that against the rough-skinned hyenas, this hand crossbow would undoubtedly play a big role, and he directly dispatched the 50-man crossbow troops he had just gathered.
It can be seen from this that he is bound to win this wave. Even if he runs into the hyena, he will force the opponent back!
Just when Zhou Yi was about to lead people up the detour, Jie Zichuan, who had been following him honestly, suddenly ran two steps forward and stopped him, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yi was taken aback.
"Those monsters have very smart noses, I'm afraid they can smell our body from a long distance."
During the speech, Jie Zichuan licked his fingers, and then after measuring the wind direction, he said, "Now the wind is blowing down, we should go against the wind and let the wind blow away the smell on our body, so that the probability of being discovered will be reduced. Get smaller."
What Jie Zichuan is showing at this moment is the valuable experience that only people who have survived in the wild can have. Although Zhou Yi is a smart person, he has always been a 'city person' since he was born. This experience is undoubtedly Much worse.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, and then nodded quite simply, "Just do as you said, we will go against the wind."
Everyone carefully suppressed their movements, and while measuring the direction of the wind, they moved towards the tribal camp in a roundabout way. Although this was time-consuming and laborious, marching in the wild focused on safety and security.
"The smell of blood is getting heavier and heavier." Li Ke, who was sniffing, whispered. Obviously, after a detour, they should be not far from the tribal camp.
Li Ke and Zhou Yi simultaneously motioned the soldiers under their command to raise their bronze shields and approach them cautiously.
Pushing aside the bushes, a pair of eyes quickly looked at the unfamiliar camp outside. Wherever they entered, there was dripping blood. No one could imagine what kind of slaughter this tribe suffered before.
"The hyena who attacked this tribe seem to have left."
Li Ke sniffed again, as if trying to identify the smell. However, this tribe, which had just suffered a massacre before, was full of the smell of blood and hyenas. No matter how sharp the wolf clan's nose was, here In this case, it is useless.
"Let's go out and have a look." After confirming the weather, Zhou Yi said slowly, "It's getting late, if those hyenas have already left, then we'll spend the night in this ready-made tribal camp. Going deeper tomorrow."
It is a good thing to go deep into the mountains and forests of the northern land and be cautious, but it does not mean that they are afraid of the group of hyenas in the wild, so they will attack their weapons, equipment and troops. If they really fight, no one thinks they will lose.
Zhou Yi's choice was approved by Li Ke. The group slowly got out of the cover of the bushes. After entering the tribal camp, the strong smell of blood almost rushed to their faces, constantly stimulating their sense of smell, which was not a pleasant feeling. .
However, when marching in the wild, it is not bad to have a ready-made camp. How can there be so much attention?
With this mentality, Zhou Yi's eyes kept scanning the tribal camp, as if he wanted to find a relatively clean place where they could rest for the night.
At this moment, Jie Zichuan, who was walking behind, suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and his eyelids kept twitching, as if to indicate that something bad would happen.
"There is danger, everyone be careful!"
With a loud shout, the soldiers who had not completely relaxed in the first place almost instinctively tightened their nerves to the extreme.
Immediately after looking around, Li Ke and Zhou Yi both looked blank for a while. There was not even a shadow of an enemy in sight. Where is the danger?
After everyone marched in the mountains and forests, they were already quite tired. In addition, Jie Zichuan was a newcomer. This sudden surprise inevitably caused many people to be unhappy.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden sound from the surrounding trees, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen black shadows came out!
"It's the hyenas! These guys found us and deliberately hid nearby to try to hide us!" The quick-eyed Li Ke confirmed the identity of the attacker at a glance, and at the same time pulled out the double knives around his waist, "Everyone is ready to fight. !!"
On the other hand, Zhou Yi also responded quickly. While quickly commanding the sword and shield soldiers to form a defensive formation, he also let the crossbowmen fire directly.
Fifty crossbows directly hit the hyenas who rushed out. No matter how rough and thick the hyena's skin is, can it really hold the crossbow arrows?
The hyenas who rushed in the front were shot and killed in an instant. Li Ke and Jie Zichuan's eyelids jumped at the powerful lethality of the hand crossbow.
Needless to say, Jie Zichuan must have seen a hand crossbow for the first time.
And Li Ke's mood is even more complicated. In the previous battle, the army of Wanjie Civilization didn't use this. It was only when Luo Ji still had a hole card and did not put all his strength into it. The series, Li Ke also added a bit of awe in his heart.
