This can be regarded as the sense of responsibility of a scout.

But other warriors felt that such a risk should not be taken.

"Lao Su, don't be stupid. Just by listening to the footsteps, you can tell the size of the herd of beasts on the opposite side. If you go to the opposite side now, wouldn't you be going to die?"

"Yes, it's enough to know that there is a large herd of beasts. We don't have the strength to investigate the situation closely. If we are discovered by wild beasts and entangled by the herd of beasts, we may not be able to come back."

"It's night again now. Even with a torch, we can't see very far. It's really dangerous to explore the situation like this."

"There's no need to go down to investigate the situation."

Chu Yang actually agreed with everyone's opinions and was also unwilling to take risks.

It's not that he's greedy for life or afraid of death, nor is he irresponsible and wants to do things in a perfunctory way.

After all, he had already traveled so far, so there was no way he wouldn't want to take another two steps to figure out the specific situation.

But it's not necessary.

Because he has sharp eyes, he can easily see clearly the situation in the jungle in the distance from this small highland with a slightly wider line of sight.

The opposite side is no longer a herd of beasts, but a serious tide of beasts.

Chu Yang could see the huge team of wild beasts, almost endless. Through the gaps between the trees in the jungle, he could see that the forest was full of wild beasts.

Most of the wild beasts are lying down and sleeping, but there are also many wild beasts that are still trekking through the mountains and forests.

Those rustling footsteps are made by this small group of beasts that are still trekking.

Just the footsteps of a small number of beasts can be heard several miles away, which shows the scale of this beast tide.

Chu Yang had never seen so many beasts crowded together. Even if he watched the great migration of the animal world on TV, he had never seen such a large herd.

He couldn't imagine how so many different types of beasts could crowd together and live in peace.

Maybe it's because it's too crowded here, or maybe it's because they've already gotten used to living in harmony in hell.

If such a large herd of beasts collided head-on with humans, it would not require any deliberate predation. I am afraid that humans would be wiped out just by trampling them.

After all, humans can't run like animals.

That is to say, most of the beasts are sleeping now, and the beasts on the road are moving relatively slowly, otherwise Chu Yang should turn around and escape.

"Let's go back."

Chu Yang took the lead and started to return, and soon walked down this small highland.

When Su Hai saw that Chu Yang had turned around, he was helpless.

He doesn't have Chu Yang's skills. If Chu Yang doesn't go ahead to investigate the situation, then he himself will not have this ability.

So several people began to return in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Chu Yang and others returning, Gu Qi hurriedly greeted them.

"How's it going? What's going on ahead?"

"Tide of beasts."

Chu Yang said solemnly: "We have to take a detour."

"Tide of beasts? Why did the tide of beasts come here..."

Gu Qi couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but ask Chu Yang again: "Are you sure it's a tide of beasts? This is so late at night, can you see it wrong?"

"I can see clearly that there are wild animals all over the mountains and fields, stretching for miles..."

Chu Yang described the specific scene he saw.

"Now we're in trouble..."

Gu Qi could tell that Chu Yang was not joking. Although he didn't know how Chu Yang found out the situation, now was not the time to explore Chu Yang's secrets.

He must make an immediate decision to re-plan the team's route.

Otherwise, their campsite would be attacked by countless wild beasts before dawn.

"Is there any way we can avoid the beast tide?"

Chu Yang suddenly put forward his own idea.

He pointed to the cliff next to him and said: "For example, if we climb to the top of the cliff here, then the beasts can't reach us, and then after the beast tide has passed, we can continue to move forward..."

"Useless."

Gu Qi shook his head: "The scale of the beast tide is much larger than this. Let's not say whether we can avoid it. Even if we avoid the wave in front of us, the next wave will definitely follow. We can't hide on the cliff forever. , and we don’t have that much time to delay.”

"Then we can only take a detour?"

"A detour is necessary."

"Go back to the main road?"

"Let's go to the northeast and climb a few hills to take a look... seize the time and set off now."

Gu Qi immediately made a decision: "Brother Chu, since your eyesight is better than ours, I'll leave the scout position to you. We'll be traveling all night, and you'll be responsible for finding a passable route."

"good."

Chu Yang didn't waste any more time. After thinking for a moment, he immediately called Su Hai.

"Let's go around the high ground just now."

"No, isn't there a tide of beasts in that direction?"

Su Hai didn't quite understand, but he quickly followed Chu Yang's footsteps.

Chu Yang said as he walked: "What's wrong with the beast tide? Let's go around it."

"Is this... too dangerous?"

"There will be no danger. The beast tide will basically not move at night. Even if a small number of beasts are still on the way, the speed will not be too fast. It is impossible for them all to come to our side at once..."

There are not many beasts still on the road, but compared to the entire beast tide, the formation is very loose.

Chu Yang didn't pay attention to the small groups of beasts, and he would just kill them if the worst happened.

Anyway, he kills monsters pretty fast.

As for why he had to choose this route, Chu Yang just thought that it would be faster to travel along the cliff.

The two of them ran on the original route again, and the other groups of scouts hurried to catch up.

The team led by Gu Qi carried their bags and started to move forward.

They hurried all the way, and everyone was running.

In order to ensure the speed of the night march, the team was a little loose, and everyone had a torch.

Chu Yang quickly arrived at the small hill before, and after observing the surrounding terrain again, he decided to go down from the small hill.

Su Hai suddenly became a little nervous.

When you were investigating the situation just now, you refused to go down. Now the beasts are getting closer and closer, but you want to take the initiative to approach the beasts. This is too bold.

Fortunately, after Chu Yang got off the high ground, he did not continue to move forward, but turned to the north.

The team went back into the woods.

After bypassing several small hills, Chu Yang finally encountered a small herd of beasts.

He killed without hesitation.

The flying hammer is a sharp weapon for slaughter. Not only is it extremely lethal, but it is also very light for Chu Yang, and easier to use than any light weapon.

He is probably the only one in the entire Wu clan world who can slaughter the beasts so easily.

Chapter 2086: Surrounded

Looking at the dead animals on the ground, all the soldiers who passed by were sweating coldly.

The beast tide was in the jungle not far away from him. Chu Yang dared to kill them wantonly next to the beast tide. Wasn't he afraid of alarming other beasts?

"Don't worry, Brother Chu won't mess around. I tell you..."

Gu Qi urged the team to move quickly while stabilizing the morale of the army.

"These foreign beasts are different from the beasts here. Most of them will not move at night."

"When they are sleeping and resting, even if we pass by them, they may not bother to look at us more."

"Even if we set up a bonfire next to the herd and hold a barbecue party, it may not scare these beasts."

"In addition, most of these beasts are afraid of fire. As long as we hold torches and do not actively approach these beasts or attack them, they will not be interested in us passing by."

"I know the habits of these guys very well. These guys and our ghost cultivators are from the same world, so everyone can rest assured..."

Before he finished speaking, a leopard that seemed to have been awakened pounced on him from the tree next to him.

Gu Qi immediately killed the leopard in a hurry, and was extremely embarrassed for a while.

"This is just an accidental phenomenon. Some animals are more aggressive... cough, everyone follow the team closely."

Gu Qi coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

These animals are all dead souls who have died once, and they have gone to hell in groups again. Their habits are no longer the same as before.

Just like their various species can live in harmony now, this is completely incredible in the world of the living.

We can no longer look at these beasts with the same eyes as before.

In front of the beast tide, everyone is experiencing it for the first time, no one can talk about any experience, and can't use other previous experiences to make any definite judgments.

Gu Qi realized this terrible situation. He didn't know much about the beast tide, and his previous cognition was likely to be wrong.

He simply stopped talking nonsense about analysis and judgment, and just urged the team to move forward quickly to keep up with the pace of Chu Yang and other scouts.

After such a comparison, everyone suddenly realized how brave Chu Yang was.

He dared to slaughter those beasts on the edge of the beast tide. He was really bold.

Fortunately, although Chu Yang slaughtered all the way, he did not alarm the large-scale beasts next to him.

Perhaps the noise outside was too small, or perhaps the beasts really didn't want to do too much activity at night.

In short, Gu Qi and others followed along without any danger, and did not encounter a group of beasts that suddenly appeared, nor were they attacked by a large number of beasts.

Marching along the edge of the beast tide did feel a bit risky, but when the danger did not really happen, everyone felt that such an arrangement was indeed very wise and reasonable.

After crossing several hills, the sky gradually brightened.

Gu Qi and Chu Yang stood side by side, observing the movement in the distance on a small hill.

The beasts had awakened, and the huge beast tide was moving slowly from east to west.

After an emergency march for most of the night, the intelligence team finally avoided the direction of this wave of beast tide and went around a small hill on their side.

But the trouble was not over. There was another wave of beast tide on the other side of the mountain, which was also huge.

Or, this was the same wave of beast tide, but because of the terrain, there was a gap between the beasts.

Looking at the huge herd of beasts on the other side, Gu Qi's face turned slightly pale.

He sighed slightly and said, "I originally thought that there would be no beast tide in the narrow strip of land on this side of the no-man's land, but I didn't expect... we actually ran into it head-on."

"It's not a head-on encounter."

Chu Yang corrected him, "We are surrounded by the beast tide. Since we entered the no-man's land yesterday, we have directly entered the range of the beast tide. Now we are turning back outside, and we should be caught in the middle of the beast tide."

Gu Qi's face was full of worry: "Yes, it is not safe to retreat to the main road now. The beasts must be moving faster than us. When we return to the main road, there will probably be beasts everywhere."

"So... should we find a steep mountain to hide? Those beasts may not find us."

Chu Yang suggested.

Gu Qi shook his head: "That would only waste time and be risky. Wild beasts have a keen sense of smell. If we are discovered by them in the beast tide, we will probably face endless attacks..."

"Then we can only pass through the beast tide."

Chu Yang pointed to the mountain in front and said: "Looking at the situation of the beast tide, most beasts will not run to this kind of hillside. We can pass through these hills and we shouldn't encounter too many beasts."

Gu Qi frowned and said: "You said not too many... It should be a huge number, right?"

"It's better than rushing directly into the beast tide... Or do you plan to turn back and try to retreat to Shanshu Village from the main road?"

"Of course we can't turn back. Not to mention whether it's safe to go back to the main road, even if we really return to Shanshu Village... then everything we do will be meaningless."

"Then let's get going quickly and pass through the gap in the beast tide."

Chu Yang didn't say anything more and took the lead down the hillside.

No matter what other ideas the intelligence team had, he planned to continue to go east.

After tossing around in the mountains for so many days, he had already adapted to the state of fighting with wild beasts at any time.

There is no such thing as a strong dragon that does not suppress local snakes. Strong dragons are strong dragons wherever they go. He did not take the huge beast tide seriously at all.

Gu Qi sighed slightly and could only lead the team to follow immediately.

Retreat is impossible and unsafe. He can only follow Chu Yang all the way.

This situation can only be said that their luck is really bad. They thought that there would be no beast tide in the no-man's land. Even if there are a few sporadic beasts, the number cannot be too large.

But now it seems that the overall scale of the beast tide is larger than everyone imagined, so that the crowded beasts are everywhere.

Since there is no so-called safe route, they can only find a ray of hope from the cracks.

The team does not need to be divided into the front and back teams at this time. The key is to advance quickly in a tight formation and quickly complete the interweaving with Chu Yang.

More than 70 people took their weapons in their hands and were ready to fight at any time.

No one is afraid of death or complains about anything. Survival in this world is full of dangers and one can die at any time.
