Two days and one night.
Hiram thought that with his own pace, he could escape from the Forest of Lark before dark, but he did not expect that all the way forward would be blocked by a swarm of silver fire insects.
The huge advantage of having one hundred ethnic groups in the Bailing Forest is perfectly reflected at this moment. When all groups began to control the silver fireflies to search the forest area, they could completely search the nearby forest without exposing their true bodies. That's different from a search team with just a large number of people. The search team can be eliminated by Hiram, and if Hiram dares to touch a hair of the Silver Fireworm, his whereabouts will be discovered.
Silver Fireworms are the hundredth ethnic group among the Bailings. There is no life in the Forest of Bailings that can interfere with the Silver Fireworms.
Hiram, who had already known that Silver Fireworms were not to be messed with and could hide from, changed directions many times for two days and one night, even if he ran back, he still wanted to find a road without Silver Fireworms. The process was extremely difficult, as Hiram had already proved to his bones by circling the Forest of Lark for three days and two nights.
Maintaining the state of black energy escape requires constant consumption of energy. Hiram was lucky enough to find an underground cave that could barely accommodate two people before the energy reserve was on the verge of danger.
In fact, that underground cave is a home for rodents, and there is rodent smell and hair everywhere. After Wu Qi cleaned out the aborigines and dirt, the cave reached the minimum standard of not making people feel disgusted.
As far as survival is concerned, it doesn't matter to Wu Qi how dirty or harsh the environment is. At this time, he walked and leaned in a corner of the cave, quietly closing his eyes and concentrating.
Hiram returned to his "human form". He walked in the other corner of the cave and met Wu Qi.
One of the benefits of having a measurable body is that you don't need to eat or drink. In an environment where there are a lot of isoviruses in the air, you can just rest and recover.
After all, hiding in the rat's cave is not a long-term solution. The biggest difficulty for Hiram in the current situation is that he doesn't know that the two of them have reached the territory of the lark tribe.
Hiram kept a map of the Forest of Lark in his mind, which marked the location of almost all the Lark Clan's territory.
Just ask Ke Ke to know where he is on the map, and analyze the gap between the two nearby Bailing Tribe territories, and Ke Ke will be able to find a narrow blind spot for detecting Silver Fireworms. However, taking the initiative to explore the Bailing Clan's territory is equivalent to running into a reconnaissance network composed of silver fireflies. If they are discovered, their chances will be greatly reduced.
"If that woman Lois Lynch had been there at that time, she wouldn't have been afraid of the silver fire bugs at all with her ability." Hiram couldn't help but think that way. But he also liked the thought that came to him.
Wu Qi's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet cave. Wu Qizhi said: "Lord Hiram, there is no other way to go east like that."
"he knows."
Wu Qi tried to say: "Lord Hiram, he stayed in your black air space for two days and one night and was taken away by you. He felt that it was time for you to tell him your planned escape plan. He is not a hunter, There are many lessons learned from hiding in the forest."
Hiram snorted unkindly. He is the dignified sixth envoy, claiming to be the strongest among Lord Kazan's men in terms of both his stealth ability and his ability to detect intelligence. If that's the case, he needs a group of ordinary hunters to help him plan his escape, where will he put his pride and face
Did Wu Qi know that those in power usually have such arrogance, so he waited for two days and one night without putting forward the plan. Facts have proved that Hiram's invincible ability has indeed encountered a barrier that is difficult to break through. At that time, if there is one more person, one more force, and several ways to use it, Coco will have a chance to break the situation.
After a few seconds of thinking, Hiram's pride was suppressed by another piece of psychological comfort. He thought that if Wu Qi could really come up with a solution, it would not be in vain for him to save Wu Qi's life.
"Put your head over here." Hiram raised his leg and made a gesture of hooking Wu Qi's leg fingers.
Wu Qi walked over and let Hailem put his legs on his head. In an instant, Wu Qi suddenly felt that Ye Chang's powerful spirit was carrying huge and detailed information into his mind.
Wu Qi closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and found that the message from Hiram looked like an accurately drawn map of the Forest of Lark. The map is marked with dozens of Bailing tribe territories, and there are also markings for special animals and plants.
"Wu Qi, this is his and Lois Lynch's hard work. In addition to Lord Kazan, I am the fourth person to see that map." Hiram said solemnly.
Wu Qi kept the map and all the information deep in his mind. He took a look at the map and found the territories of the various lark clans such as the Transformed Beast Clan, the Black Elf Clan, and the Ancient Tree Clan. He clearly knew how valuable the map was and immediately nodded in response: "Wu Qiminghong, Wu Qiding has lived up to your trust."
"I hope it won't be a nice thing to say," Hiram replied without much emotion.
This is also a "mission" with high rewards and heavy punishments. If Wu Qi can really succeed, then the map will be given to Wu Qi as a reward; if Wu Qi is a helpless person, then he will take back the requested map by eliminating insiders.
Wu Qi closed his eyes again and devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying the map of the Forest of Lark.
Wu Qi studied it for five minutes and then opened his eyes. Hiram saw Wu Qi opening his eyes so quickly and immediately asked: "What? Can my hunting skills be put to use?"
Wu Qi touched Dongba with one leg, thought for a few seconds and then clenched his fist: "They should keep the aborigines of Dongcao."
"What do you mean?" Hiram said coldly. They have no place to stay with those rats in Liudong.
Wu Qi's eyes were bright and authentic: "Sir Hiram, he is investigating the land of ice curse and manipulated a group of blue rats to explore the way for him. First of all, they do not belong to the Bailing tribe, so they are not ordinary forest life; secondly, they are enough They are smart, can understand his orders, and are controlled by his demands. According to his plan, they need to find small animals that meet these conditions again to explore their way."
Wu Qi took advantage of the situation and raised his left fist, and then the silver measure floated to the outside of the leg and arm armor, and then transformed into a high-speed spiral measure drill under Wu Qi's control.
"Using that measurable creation drill bit, he can drill through the solid ice and escape underground. If he digs a hole under ordinary soil, it will be much easier and faster. When the two of them move underground, he will control them at all times. The small animals on the ground explore the path for them, so they can find a path that is not outside the detection range of the silver fire bug swarm."
Hiram said calmly: "Continue to talk about going east."
"Based on the map information you gave him, the closer to the border of the Forest of Lark, the more dispersed the territory of the Lark Clan is; and they are all lower-ranked groups, and the number of silver fire bugs they can control is definitely not as good as those of the Lark Clan. The theory is The breakout will become easier and easier until they can resume normal surface movement at the outskirts of the Bailing Forest. Furthermore, his measurable drill bit is very fast, so there is no need to worry about the early breakout speed."
Hiram nodded. Wu Qi really responded to his expectations and used his exploration experience to formulate a breakout plan that initially seemed to have no problems.
Although the plan will definitely not be as simple as Wu Qi said in the end, Tianwei Gulong is not stupid after all, and will definitely strengthen the defense force at the border of Bailing Forest. But that plan was enough to break the deadlock. That's enough.
"Just follow my plan, he will come for the small animals." Hiram suddenly stood up. Wu Qi followed closely.
Hiram was very confident in his stealth ability. He chose the night with the darkest light and escaped from the cave in the form of black air that was difficult to see clearly.
There are bright red and silver fluorescent star grains floating everywhere in the forest. They gather together and disperse in different directions, emitting light that illuminates the forest more than the arc of the sky at night. Those fluorescent star grains are like a swarm of silver fire bugs. Their movements are flexible and ruthless, and they can clearly be seen as living creatures.
The swarm of silver fireflies is not only the beautiful sea of stars in the forest, but also the morning star that guides the way forward for those who are lost and frightened in the dark forest. But not all life will act with silver fireflies, such as predators in the dark.
There are many small animals that like to stay out at night. Hiram's incarnation of black energy hid at the bottom of bushes or behind trees and moved cautiously. In a short time, he caught 20 forest rats.
Hiram packed all the prey into the black air space, brought it back to the cave and placed it in front of Wu Qi.
All the forest rats that fell out of the black air space were very confused, which was just convenient for Wu Qi to weave 20 measurable neck ropes to put around them.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Qi tightened Keliang's neck rope and woke up all the confused forest rats. He transformed into a devil and sneered, exuding an aura of terror without restraint. In an instant, all the forest rats lost their will to resist, and quickly gathered into a group and huddled in the corner of the cave.
"Little mice, listen. There is a dead end and a way to live in front of us. The way to live requires us to obey his orders and help him explore the way. He will let us go when he is about to leave the Forest of Lark. And Ren He will stay. The first rat will be rewarded.”
As he spoke, Wu Qi made a small cut on the pad of his index finger. The alluring smell of atavistic blood wafted out from the wound like a devil's tentacles wrapped around the little noses of the 20-year-old forest rat.
20 pairs of small eyes of the forest rat all stared at Wu Qi's index finger. Wu Qi followed suit and said: "The reward is one drop of blood from a rat. Those who understand, those who are willing to nod with his bastard rats, those who are willing to give up the opportunity to evolve and die shake their heads. Give us three seconds."
The 20 Forest Rats were closer to each other than Wu Qi imagined. They looked at each other, and when Wu Qi counted to three, the 20 Forest Rats all nodded. Not a single one shook his head.
"very good."
Wu Qi smiled, and then he looked up at Hiram. Hiram crossed his arms across his chest, and the hooded man's "face" was still black. Wu Qi originally wanted to see what Hiram's expression was like.
