Fortunately, the place is about eighty or ninety miles away from the barracks, and there is heavy snow all over the desert. Except for a few scouts who are still active outside, others are still training in the barracks. Qi Ying does not have to worry about anyone discovering what just happened to him. mutation.
"During battle, as long as you prepare the 'black ball' in advance, you can release your peak martial spirit at a specific moment... It's pretty good."
The discovery of the new ability of the left hand has greatly improved the immediate combat power. The blow just issued by the Purple Thunder Dragon was at least as powerful as that of an ordinary fifth-level spiritual martial artist using a high-level mysterious martial skill. But now he is just First level of Lingwu Realm!
"Hurry up and practice, and strive to be promoted to the second level of the Spiritual Martial Realm before the 'Winter Hunting'."
Qi Ying quickly started practicing again.
On the gray sky, heavy snow fell again...
…
"Old Wang, come back soon!"
"We are all waiting for you to bring back fresh animal meat. We are already tired of eating this dried meat!"
Amidst the farewell of the 100,000-strong army, a hunting brigade with a total of 3,000 people, led by Song Tianxing, the bearded general whom Qi Ying saw when he entered the barracks on the first day, set off in a mighty manner, heading north.
Marshal Huo, together with Li Jinyan, led a hundred white horse soldiers to follow the hunting brigade unhurriedly, responsible for vigilance and mobile support.
Along the way, you must be careful and be wary of attacks and harassment from the Gilded Kingdom.
"Ni Ge, you are responsible for detecting the enemy's situation and alerting them. I am skating fast and go directly to the Mobei Mountains to explore the road. The snow is still falling, so there will be no markings. Along the way, there will be signal flares and wolf smoke!"
Qi Ying volunteered and took the lead in exploring the Mobei Mountains.
An old scout insisted on following, but was quickly left behind by Qi Ying, and his shadow could not be seen from a distance.
"Damn, this kid has only been skating for a long time, why is he so fast?"
The old scout was panting and staring in the direction where Qi Ying disappeared.
Although the shield is a scout equipment invented a long time ago, the speed at which most scouts slide the shield is about the same as that of an ordinary fast horse, and it cannot last too long.
Qi Ying, through the movement correction in his mind, can use the most effortless posture to row at a relatively fast speed. He holds the dart in both hands and thrusts it into the snow. His body will fly out like a meteor. Looking at the entire desert, it is estimated that No scout can compete with Qi Ying in sliding shields.
On the snow, it is many times faster than a horse in the army!
According to the terrain map and direction indicator, Qi Ying headed northwest. After putting on a white cloak, it was impossible to distinguish him as a person in the snow. Coupled with Brother Liu who was in charge of guarding, Qi Ying had no scruples along the way. , without stopping, in less than half a day, we had skied halfway to the Mobei Mountains.
laugh!
Qi Ying stopped on the snow and looked into the distance.
"This is close to the main camp of the Gilded Kingdom. When the large army passes here, it still has to walk dozens of miles. I guess I can get to the Mobei Mountains a day or two earlier than them. The free time will be perfect for practicing."
In the previous practice, Qi Ying did not reach the second level of the Lingwu Realm and stayed at the peak of the first level of the Lingwu Realm.
Use your free time to try to make a breakthrough.
"Brother Liu, lie down and let's go!"
Qi Ying didn't stay long, and quickly moved forward on the shield, intending to seize the time and reach the Mobei Mountains as soon as possible. However, after walking a short distance, Brother Liu suddenly let out a warning cry: "Zhizhi!"
"Are there enemies nearby? Oh, they are passing by..."
Qi Ying put away his shield and double darts, raised the arm-mounted crossbow on his left arm, put on his stealth cloak, and escaped into the snow, found a place with thicker snow, and crawled into the snow. In the snow.
puff!
On the snow layer, a round pipe painted white with an elbow was exposed, almost blending in with the surrounding snow.
This is another piece of scout equipment, the "periscope". It is equipped with a flat mirror at the bend of the circular tube. Through the mirror, you can observe what is happening above the hiding place. It has several different colors and can be used in sandy areas and swamps. , used underwater, in snow and other environments, with extremely high concealment.
The "periscope" can also be used with another "clairvoyance" composed of a ground mirror and a long tube, which can observe the situation hundreds of feet or even a thousand feet away with the same detail as five or six feet away.
For the convenience of use, Qiying has always installed the periscope and telescope together, so they can be used immediately.
After a while, Qi Ying found through the periscope that a group of people wearing white clothes and white cloaks, who could not be seen without clairvoyance, passed by about a hundred feet away from him.
"Dozens of people? What are they going to do?"
Qi Ying was puzzled for a moment, but quickly realized it!
These are all scouts of the Gilded Kingdom!
Judging from their clothing with cloth armor and cloaks, they are very similar to those from the Yunxiao Kingdom. Moreover, after these people reached a high sand dune, they took out their shields one after another, slid down on the shields, and dispersed, which further confirmed Qi Ying's previous guess.
"Wori! Dozens of scouts are dispatched at once. What are they planning to do?"
Qi Ying's palms were sweating.
Regardless of the Yunxiao Kingdom or the Gilded Kingdom, scouts are the most powerful unit for individual combat, and they must be at least high-level warriors at the Qi Martial Realm to be competent. Most of the scouts are at the Ling Martial Realm. Many elite scouts, in terms of strength, are at the level of captains or even commanders. The top scouts are all masters of the Earth Martial Realm.
If one of them slides next to me and finds me, I'll be in trouble!
Qi Ying did not act rashly.
If he doesn't move, he can still get away with not being discovered. If he moves, it is estimated that the dozens of scouts with unknown strength will all come to kill him. There are not forty of them, and at least more than half of them are opponents of the scouts of Lingwu Realm warriors. Even if they activate the most powerful trump card, the ninth-grade martial spirit Thunder Dragon, they will die after unleashing a move.
fine.
These scouts may not have brought scent beasts, or the noses of the spirit beasts they brought were not very useful in the snow. No one found Qi Ying hiding in the snow and wearing a stealth cloak.
The nearest scout was only twenty feet away from the periscope. But in the vast white snow, a quick glance could not distinguish the periscope after painting.
After waiting for a while and confirming that there were no scouts around, Qi Ying emerged from the snow.
He did not leave directly, but took out the map, used his memory to determine the direction each scout had just gone, and compared them one by one to determine where they were going.
The special shield could not leave any traces when sliding on the snow. Qi Ying could only use the stupidest method, drawing on the map with his hands, marking each one, and judging to see which scouts there were and where they might go.
"Sure enough! The main target is near the Mobei Mountains!"
After sketching, Qi Ying frowned - at least twenty scouts from the Gilded Kingdom went to the Mobei Mountains! The others were scattered throughout the desert.
