The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0013 Traps

Half a day later, the thieves who came out to look for Avor and his party found the traces of the battle here, and followed the trail to find the mound. An hour later, Astali Blood Ax stood beside the pile of dirt that had been removed, looked at more than a dozen corpses, and asked in a low voice, "Where are the corpses of Baldhead and Avor?"

The little leader who led the way replied timidly: "I didn't find it! We have searched the entire road from here to the front point of the guard post. Except for the empty earth pit dug at the front point of guard post and this pit, nothing else was found. Yes! But among the 17 corpses here, 5 should be the sentry who sent the sentry before, and the others came out with the leader of Avor, but there is no trace of the two leaders."

"What can you see from the traces of the battle?" Astelli? Blood Ax couldn't see the rage in the morning at all, and there was a trace of fear hidden in his cold eyes.

12 of his subordinates + level 6 thieves + level 7 berserkers died silently on the way back to the cottage. Those who can do this can also kill themselves.

Astali? Blood Ax may be cruel, reckless, and may not take other people's lives seriously, but that doesn't mean he doesn't take his own life seriously. When he encounters a danger that threatens his own life, he will He is more tolerant than others and can calmly find a safe way out. This is the essential quality of a leader. People who don’t understand have already been lying in coffins, or they don’t even have a coffin, and they are eaten by vicious dogs in the wild. With broken corpses!

"There must be mages, and there may be undead skeletons. There are not many of them." The little boss said with uncertainty, after all, finding undead creatures in the Whispering Forest is too unimaginable.

"Back to the village, double the number of guards at the sentry posts, one round per day." Astali Blood Axe ordered. After speaking, he turned around and brought his men back to the mountain, but suddenly stopped, staring at the little boss and said: "Remember, two The leader is fine, they have a mission, they went out to find the "flock", take care of the people you brought out today, I don't want anyone to spread anything randomly?"

"Yes..." The little boss answered repeatedly with a cold sweat.

Asteli? Blood Ax didn't want to say anything more, and returned directly to the cottage with a gloomy face. After dark, a carrier pigeon flew out of the village with fluttering wings, and soon disappeared into the night of the Whispering Forest.

...

The night in the Whispering Forest is deep. Whenever the full moon rises to the mid-heaven, there will be a faint mist in the forest, which will not dissipate until the next morning. I don't know if the thieves strangled too hard. There are not many traces of wild animals in the forest under the night, which also fits the name Whispering Forest.

In a small cave 3 miles behind the Blood Ax Camp, Li Xun is happily grilling. It is a fat hare with big ears. Although there are few large animals in the Whispering Forest, there are quite a lot of little herbivores. The entrance of the cave is covered by 3 skeletons with firewood from the outside. The inside is very spacious. It looks like a bear den at first glance, but it has been abandoned for a long time. It must have been besieged and killed by the blood ax thieves when they first came!

With the lesson from Hongmu Village, Li Xun will always have all kinds of seasonings in his dimensional bag, even if there is not enough space, he is reluctant to throw them away. It seems that the rumors are true, nerds must be foodies!

Holding a small brush, brush all kinds of favorite seasonings evenly on the squeaking and oily rabbit meat. The inside slowly became golden, and the saliva flowed down!

Many animals in this world are similar to the earth, but the meat tastes much more delicious. I don't know if the meat of those monsters will taste better. It's a pity that although the Whispering Forest is as wide as 30,000 square kilometers, because it is close to the coast, there are not a lot of monsters. From the books of the Principality, many scholars suspect that the main reason for the scarcity of monsters in such a large forest is the mist at night! But exactly how the mist will affect WoW, the jury is still out. Li Xun has only been in the Whispering Forest for 3 days, and he has already fully experienced the difference of the mist. This is not just the mist, but he can feel a kind of magical fluctuation inside, which is weird! But this kind of fluctuation is too dark, so that people with keen mind can feel its existence but cannot trace its source. Li Xun really doubts whether there is a magic circle exerting its power, but a magic circle covering 30,000 square kilometers, even Li Xun shook his head himself, and began to admire his own imagination.

Putting the chores aside, Li Xun began to concentrate on enjoying the rabbit meal. Unfortunately, there were only two skeletons in the cave with him who would not eat, drink or talk. After finishing the meal and drinking some wine, Li Xun lay down on the leather mattress beautifully, and began to think about his actions in the next few days.

The Blood Ax Thieves suffered a terrible loss. They still don't know who the enemy is and where it came from? You will inevitably become cautious, and if you want to fish in troubled waters, you must be careful of being bitten by fish. Killed 2 leaders of the blood ax thieves group. I could go back to rest and replenish some supplies. By the way, let the thieves continue to find no one, and go suspiciously. When I have a rest, I guess the thieves should also relax. , I can take a few more bites. But the two reasons have always hooked Li Xun, making him unable to let go.

The first reason is that he hasn't seen Sir Hanwick's youngest son yet, so it's not easy to go back and explain. Li Xun would never do such a foolish thing of rescuing the youngest son now. Will you have the confidence and fighting spirit to fight the blood ax thieves to death? Rescue is impossible, but take a token back, you can have an explanation and hook Sir Hanwick not to let go, so you must find a way to sneak into the back mountain camp to meet the young hostage son.

The second reason is ridiculous. Li Xun's current level is level 3 (407/500) (just killed a rabbit, it will increase a little), and if he works harder, he may reach level 4. By then his own strength There will be a lot of growth again, and the following actions will be much easier. So even if he felt the danger, Li Xun was a little reluctant to let go.

After pondering over and over like this, there was no particularly good way, so Li Xun simply covered his head and fell into a deep sleep.

It was just dawn, and Li Xun, who was full of motivation, had already squatted outside a sentry post and began to observe life.

Obediently, there are so many people!

The sentry post was set up on a hill outside the forest entrance on the left side of the Blood Ax camp. Li Xun had already harvested it the day before yesterday, but there were still people this time. In the soul vision, 10 red dots are shining, 7 are in the rear thatched house, and 3 red dots are on the top of the slope. The 3 observers on the top of the slope are scattered in 3 hidden points, and they can be seen from each other, making it difficult to remove them one by one. The sight of the three people is crossed, which is enough to cover all the mountains and forests near the mountain bag. It is not so much that they are monitoring the path into the forest. Beware of sneak attacks.

Is this monitoring Linshan Road? Why do they always feel like they are waiting for something? The soul fires of the 3 observers in the mountain bag are very active, which is normal, but why are the 7 soul fires in the thatched cottage also active? What are they doing while nestling inside without resting or coming out to move around?

Li Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he felt the smell of a trap. However, judging from the strength of the fire of the soul, the 10 people in the sentry were just ordinary people. There were no professionals. They could kill them by force. To kill a mage?

Li Xun looked around, and began to retreat slowly on the ground vigilantly. After leaving the sight range of the mountain bag, he began to slowly walk in circles around the mountain bag. There are dense red dots!

This mountain depression is not like a temporary search, there are more than a dozen wooden houses inside, and there are people guarding around the mountain depression. Although people are always active, they seldom make any noise. not easily found. Li Xun simply estimated that there are 70 or 80 people. Based on this calculation, the Blood Ax Thieves Group has a total of 5 outlying guard posts. Most of them should have been dispatched last night to set up an ambush. Hehe, what a big hand. The foresight of the soul vision might have been surrounded and killed from behind when the sentry was stormed!

Li Xun sneered twice, since you have thrown out all the people, the camp is probably relatively empty, I can't eat meat, so I have to go to the camp to make trouble, maybe I can take the opportunity to explore the road.

Having made up his mind, Li Xun immediately turned around and headed straight for Blood Axe's old camp.

All the way through the forest and over the slope, under the cover of the mist, Li Xun began to circle around the hill where the Blood Ax camp was located, looking for weak points of defense and how to sneak in. It's a pity that I haven't reached level 4, so I can't learn the level 2 spell "Invisibility", otherwise it would be so troublesome!

From early in the morning to now, Li Xun got up to hunt in high spirits. He walked the mountain road for nearly 20 miles, and had to circle a small mountain. Rao is a young man of 17 years old who is full of energy. The rest was panting, so I had to find a safe place to rest and eat and drink.

Astelli? Blood Ax still has some vision! The hill I chose is really good. The surrounding area is steep, and there is only a path leading to the mountain in the front. It is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Principality's troops were not ambushed last time, the bandits were blocked in the camp, and it was not easy to attack!

Along the way, the surrounding hills were already steep, with slopes above 80 degrees. Blood Ax also ordered people to clean up some easy-to-climb places on the slope walls. Such difficulty may not be difficult for thieves, but it can be difficult Li Xun is clumsy without tools. The height of the hill is not low, the slope wall after trimming has a minimum of 30 meters, and a height of 50 meters, it is simply an alternative city wall!
