Once you get into the cave, the smell will naturally not spread out easily.

Even if some wild animals happen to pass by and become curious about the cave, the intelligence team can quietly deal with the wild animals in the cave.

This cannot guarantee absolute safety, but it is definitely much safer than resting in the open terrain outside.

Gu Qi immediately asked Su Hai and other scouts.

"Is there a cave nearby?"

"Cave..."

Su Hai and others began to think hard.

They are not particularly familiar with the no-man's land. Even if they have the impression that there is a cave somewhere, they will not remember the specific location very clearly.

In fact, there are not few caves in the entire mountainous area. Whether it is the hunting area near the village or the no-man's land, it is easy to see various caves.

Some are natural caves, and some are the nests of some wild animals.

But it is not so easy to find a large cave that can accommodate more than 50 people.

After recalling for a long time, Su Hai and others finally gave an uncertain answer.

"There seem to be caves on the hills to the north, but which hill is it on... We have to go there and see the terrain before we can determine the exact location."

"It's OK if there is a cave."

Gu Qi cheered up: "Then we will go north first and find that cave."

At this time, there is no need to consider the marching route. As long as we can find a safe place to rest and get through the day, we must go even if we have to go back.

So the team began to turn north.

This section of the journey was also not very safe, and we also encountered several small groups of beasts along the way.

But fortunately, there was no danger, and the team finally climbed up the hill again and successfully found the cave that Su Hai and others remembered.

The cave is not big, but more than 50 people can still squeeze in to rest.

Looking at the beasts passing by in the ravine below, everyone felt like they were trying to survive in a desperate situation.

This was the first resting point in their itinerary.

While arranging for everyone to rest, Gu Qi was busy formulating the marching route for the night.

The specific marching route cannot be determined, but the next stop must be determined first, and there must be a second cave for rest.

In the memory of Su Hai and others, the next cave is still to continue to the north, and they have walked out of the no-man's land.

This is because they are more familiar with the no-man's land, and they can find more caves, which are more suitable for the team to rest.

Gu Qi hesitated a little.

Walking out of the no-man's land, isn't it equivalent to returning to the main road?

The terrain on the other side of the main road is far less rugged than the no-man's land, and there are not so many peaks that are out of reach of wild beasts.

Therefore, it is very likely that every mountain outside is full of wild beasts, and there is no safe route to pass through.

"Just take the main road."

Chu Yang helped Gu Qi make up his mind.

"Since it is daytime and night, there is no need to worry about how many wild beasts there are on the main road. There will always be gaps in the wild beasts, and we can always find a safe route to cross the wild beasts. If we pass through the wild beasts at night, it will always be safer."

"That's the only way."

Gu Qi had no better choice, he could only trust Chu Yang.

If Chu Yang had normal vision at night, it would not be difficult to find a route through the herd.

Passing through the herd during the day is almost like seeking death.

But at night, as long as you keep a certain distance, you may not alarm the herd.

After determining the route, everyone took the time to rest.

The luck was pretty good afterwards. The herd passing by the foot of the mountain did not find the intelligence team, and they rested peacefully until dark.

As soon as it got dark, Chu Yang got out of the cave and began to observe the movements of the beast tide.

The beast tide finally stopped slowly, and groups of animals began to rest in groups.

In fact, the animals also fought each other, all to fill their stomachs.

But despite this, the scale of the beast tide did not seem to decrease much.

A steady stream of wild beasts would always come from the back, joining the beast tide team one after another, and expanding the scale of the beast tide.

The only benefit brought to the intelligence team by the fighting between animals was that the gaps between the herds became slightly larger.

These slightly enlarged gaps are the way out for the intelligence team.

After waiting patiently for two hours, when most of the beasts were resting, Chu Yang finally started to move.

The intelligence team lit torches and began to follow Chu Yang all the way.

According to the distribution of the beasts, Chu Yang temporarily formulated a marching route and would constantly adjust it along the way.

The route could not be formulated very accurately at the beginning, because the farther places were not within his sight.

He could only observe the surroundings every time he reached a high ground, and then adjust it according to the situation.

With Su Hai's cooperation, they would try to get closer to the next destination cave.

After a night of rapid march, another soldier died on the journey.

Although it is relatively safe at night, small-scale battles are still inevitable.

Therefore, ordinary humans are not suitable for fighting at night, even with torches.

Wu clan warriors generally do not go out hunting at night, and the behavior of rushing at night like now is purely helpless.

Fortunately, the team finally reached the destination before dawn and safely entered the cave to rest the next day.

At this time, the team had left the no-man's land and entered the mountainous area near the main road.

The distance traveled in one night was only half of that in the daytime.

But this was already very good, at least they basically passed through the beast tide safely.

But safety alone was not enough, they had to keep moving closer to the eastern part of the mountainous area and completely pass through the Black Dragon Pond.

The next few days were all in this mode of hiding during the day and moving at night.

The marching speed was very slow, but the team was still moving closer to the eastern part of the mountainous area.

As they walked along, everyone felt more and more depressed.

The beast tide they saw was extremely large, and there were beasts everywhere along the road, and the number was unimaginable.

If the situation was the same on the east side of Black Dragon Pond, then humans would not have to consider how to resist these beast tides, and would just retreat all the way out of the mountain. Anyway, there would be no safe place in the entire mountain.

After a few more nights, the dawdling team finally walked to the south of Black Dragon Pond in a tortuous way.

Theoretically, this journey was halfway completed.

What is worrying is that the beast tide here is still dense, and it seems that there are still endless beasts appearing in this world.

Although everyone is not clear about the specific situation of the last beast tide, the current beast tide is obviously very serious.
