Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

General Zhou felt that what Tang Wen said made sense: "Old Zhao, then would you mind making a trip?"

"Okay," General Zhao agreed readily.

Before it was dark, General Zhao and six commanders gathered at the outer city guard camp.

Tang Wen assigned tasks to the commanders, arranging them in pairs to keep watch on: the scavenger camp, a section of the forest west of the hunter camp, and the small path in the lakeside forest.

After these disappearances of scavengers, their footprints had appeared in the above three sections.

In the afternoon, the camp master chef gave Tang Wen and the others a special treat.

After a satisfying meal, it was completely dark.

General Zhao came to see them off before they left.

Tang Wen suddenly had an idea, looking at the high stone wall of the camp, he said, "Everyone, let's not go through the main gate, let's climb over the wall!"

"Huh! Climb over the wall?"

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

The six commanders greeted the guards and sneaked down from the stone wall.

Watching the disappearing figures, General Zhao showed a satisfied smile, turned to Commander Zhang and said, "This kid Tang Wen has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and can always come up with new ideas at crucial moments!"

"Hopefully everything goes smoothly for them."

To the west of Flame Camp is the scavenger camp.

Further west is a large lake.

The lake water is bottomless. According to common sense, there must be fish and shrimp.

But even the most hungry scavengers would not come here to fish.

Firstly, the shore is a cliff several meters high.

It is smooth and steep, with nowhere to gain a foothold.

Going up and down is very dangerous.

Secondly, in the summer, many scavengers used rope ladders to climb down and swim.

As a result, giant creatures appeared under the lake water, with sharp steel teeth and mouths as big as boats, swallowing people whole, and the lake water was dyed red.

Since then, everyone has kept a respectful distance from this large lake.

Tang Wen and the other person looked over from a distance.

In the dark night, the lake water was dark and black, like a bottomless abyss.

Tang Wen whispered, "No matter how severe the drought is, such a large lake won't dry up, right?"

If the lake doesn't dry up, we can find a way to irrigate the farmland.

Like making a manual waterwheel or something?

Just as his thoughts were diverging, he saw Zhou Bing gently shake her head: "The old people in the camp said that as long as it doesn't rain for a while, this lake will dry up. It seems to be connected to some underground river."

Tang Wen sighed in disappointment.

The two stopped talking and moved forward along the lake, walking quickly.

In less than half an hour, they arrived at the place where the scavenger's footprints were found.

The forest at night was even darker.

But it did not affect their vision at all.

On the ground, large and small footprints were mixed together.

There were adults and children, all barefoot.

"It's really outrageous to kidnap even such small children!"

"Maybe they grab the children first, and then threaten the family," Tang Wen said casually.

"The scavengers are extremely hungry, and it is common to exchange children for food, so they may not be threatened by this."

"If it's not coercion, is it enticement?"

"A combination of both."

Tang Wen nodded: "That makes sense, anyway, those scavengers have nothing to lose."

The two stopped communicating, leaned against the same tree, and silently observed their surroundings.

The forest at night was as silent as a morgue.

Whoosh!

A black shadow flew overhead.

Zhou Bing looked up and whispered, "Red-eyed crow."

Tang Wen frowned and looked in the direction it disappeared: "I seem to have seen this kind of crow several times recently."

"Yes, I saw it too. This red-eyed crow is also called a blood crow. Why is it flying around everywhere so late at night?" Zhou Bing casually speculated: "Blood crows usually fly in flocks, this one should be a loner."

Tang Wen still frowned, with a bold idea in his mind.

Could it be?

Could the eyes monitoring the hunting team be blood crows?

Could the ability of that awakened person in the dark be beast control?

Zhou Bing, who was looking up at the sky, suddenly felt her palm being held.

Then, Tang Wen brought his head close to her fair and delicate earlobe, and a warm breath hit her, Zhou Bing felt a slight ripple in her heart, and her heart was pounding like a deer: No way, no way? We're on a mission! Here?

The next second, Tang Wen used a soft voice to say his guess.

The little deer in Zhou Bing's heart calmed down.

"You think it's a blood crow?" She felt incredible.

Tang Wen said: "If you eliminate all possibilities, then the only remaining explanation is the truth, no matter how outrageous it is."

Zhou Bing paused for a while, and looked at him: "Okay, if it's a blood crow, what do we do now?"

"Well, you go back to find General Zhao, and then we'll chase after them."

"No!" As expected, Zhou Bing didn't agree.

She wanted to stay, and Tang Wen didn't agree either.

Zhou Bing tightened her grip on his hand: "Let's go back to find General Zhao together, after all, it may involve an awakened person, so we need to be cautious."

This was the answer Tang Wen wanted.

"Let's go, shh!"

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Before he finished speaking, Tang Wen suddenly raised his finger and gently squatted on the ground.

Zhou Bing also noticed something, and followed his example, the two put their ears close to the ground.

"Tat-tat-tat"

A slight but rhythmic vibration came.

"It's the sound of horses' hooves, they should be wrapped in thick cloth," Zhou Bing judged with her rich experience.

Whoosh!

A blood crow flew over again in the opposite direction.

The two remained motionless, squatting on the ground.

Tang Wen felt with his heart, hmm, there was no heart palpitations, and he didn't feel any unease or danger.

The enemy hasn't discovered me yet?

He thought for a moment, the enemy is using blood crows to avoid the previous hunting guards.

This shows that they definitely don't have very powerful experts.

Otherwise, they could just come forward and talk to Flame Camp directly.

There's no need to be so secretive.

So, is this awakened person who controls red-eyed crows a general-level expert?

Tang Wen shook his head.

General-level experts come and go without a trace.

Does this kind of strong person need to deliberately avoid his subordinates' hunting team?

I'm afraid the hunting team would be dead in a breath.

He had a clear idea in his mind, and said to Zhou Bing: "You go back to report, I'll follow them."

Without waiting for Zhou Bing to object, he quickly said: "I'm fast, I can fight and run. And at your speed, it won't take more than an hour to go back to the camp to report to General Zhao. I won't do anything in this one hour!"

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Wait for me to come back."

Zhou Bing touched his cheek and left like an elegant and agile female leopard.

Tang Wen cheered up and walked into the darker forest.

He made up his mind to just follow from a distance, and he would never take action until the general arrived.

Even if the other party looks weak, he can't take action, what if he startles the snake?

This is a clue that he finally managed to squat down!

Thinking of this, he chose a large tree with lush branches and climbed up.

A few minutes later, Tang Wen saw through the gaps between the leaves that a team of ten people, leading dozens of ponies, walked through the forest.

He narrowed his eyes, um, at first glance, they don't seem strong.

Looking closely, uh, they're not even as strong as they looked at first glance!

They walked past him, and he didn't feel any heart palpitations at all.

Intuition told Tang Wen that if he took action unexpectedly at this time, he might even have a chance to win steadily.

But Tang Wen had no plans to take action.

After the other party walked away, there was no sign of blood crows in the sky.

He slowly scurried down the tree, listening to the sound to follow the other party.

It doesn't matter if you can't see people, as long as you can hear them and don't lose them.

But just a few minutes later, suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves stopped.
