The dawn makes the world very bright and looks full of hope, but that is an illusion.
Several war horses appeared again on the dividing line to the west of the village. All the corpses at the entrance of the valley were gone, and the ground was covered with traces of wild beast activity. The corpses of more than thirty armed men of the Stubborn Stone Tribe are undoubtedly a feast for the beasts living in this land.
"Teacher Xia, the stubborn stone tribe is in this valley. You can see it ten kilometers ahead from the entrance of the valley." Huniu said.
"Be careful after entering the valley. Follow me and don't go in front of me." Xia Lei warned.
Li Ni said: "We know, we are not children, we know the dangers we face."
Xia Lei nodded, "That's good. One more thing, you must stay when I ask you to stay. If you don't agree, go back now."
Li Ni, Hei Niu and Dahu looked at each other, and finally Li Ni made up her mind, "I agree, let's go."
Xia Lei pinched the horse's belly, and the horse entered the valley. Li Ni, Heiniu and Dahu followed closely and also entered the valley.
The valley is flanked by steep peaks, the slopes of which are covered with dense forest. A narrow dirt road stretches forward, twisting and turning, with no end in sight.
The valley was quiet, and occasionally a roar of wild beasts could be heard. The sudden sound made people nervous.
After walking two kilometers along the road before the valley, Xia Lei saw more than a dozen corpses hanging on the trees on both sides of the road. Some corpses have turned into bones, and some are still in a highly decomposed state, exuding a strong corpse smell in the sun.
"Ugh..." Li Ni couldn't help but cover her mouth and almost spit it out.
Xia Lei said: "This is probably a warning sign from the Stone Tribe. Please be careful. The road ahead may be dangerous."
The speed of the team slowed down a lot, Xia Lei rode at the front, and Li Ni, Huniu and Wu Da followed him at the back. The strongest of the two men is in the front and the strongest in the back. This kind of plastic surgery is also a kind of protection for the two women, Li Ni and Huniu.
When we walked about three kilometers further, the valley in front of us no longer seemed wide, but instead became smaller. A narrow pass also entered Xia Lei's sight. It was on the only way to pass, with extremely high cliffs on both sides. Walking on that road makes you worry that the rocks above your head will fall down at any time and kill you.
While observing the pass, a ray of light suddenly came from a cliff above the pass. Xia Lei's gaze moved over. Although his eyes had lost the ability to see and scan, they were still extremely sensitive to changes in light. Therefore, the three people in Pingyang Village did not see it, but he did.
A second later, he suddenly shouted, "Get down!"
Before the three people in Ping An Village knew what was happening, he had already jumped off the horse, and the Avengers 1000 hanging on the saddle was also caught in his hands.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded from the cliff, and a bullet flew over the heads of three people from Ping An Village. Only then did the three people from Ping'an Village react, hurriedly dismounted, picked up their weapons and prepared to fight. But even with the weapons in their hands, they didn't know where the enemy was.
Just when the people in Ping An Village were panicking, Xia Lei suddenly raised the Avengers 1000 in his hand and aimed it in one direction instantly. The three people from Ping'an Village were surprised to find that even though he was holding the sniper rifle in this posture, Xia Lei's hand didn't even tremble at all!
boom!
There was a gunshot, and a bullet shot out from the muzzle of the Avengers 1000. A second later, a gunman fell from the cliff inside. His body hit the cliff several times before falling to the ground.
Bang bang bang…
Suddenly there was a loud burst of gunfire on the cliff. Did you know that it was shooting from several different directions? Xia Lei's horse was hit by a stray bullet and fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" Wu Da cursed while firing back: "Did they know we were coming? Damn it! They actually set up an ambush here!"
Li Ni and Huniu still had lingering fears at this time, because if Xia Lei hadn't discovered the situation and the four of them had continued to approach, once they found the natural pass, the people of the Stubborn Stone tribe would not have to shoot, even if they threw stones down there You can also crush them to death!
The opponent's firepower was powerful and bullets were raining down. Li Ni, Huniu and Wu Da had to find bunkers to hide, but Xia Lei did not need bunkers because he was wearing Huang Zhan's light armor. The only flaw in his body was the arrow hole that he shot through with a metal arrow. It was almost impossible for a few gunmen to hit the arrow hole.
Amidst the intensive gunfire, bullets rushed down above his head and flew around him, and some even hit his body directly. But he didn't make the slightest move to dodge. He held the Avenger 1,000 in stride and walked towards the pass, firing a shot at every step he took. Without even firing a shot, an armed man from the Stone Tribe would fall from the cliff above the pass, and then turn into meatloaf on the road below the pass.
The battle lasted only two minutes, and the armed men of the Stubborn Tribe who were ambushing on the cliffs of the pass were cleared away. It also includes a guy hiding on a cliff and pretending to be dead. When his companion beside him was shot in the head by Xia Lei, he lost the courage to fight. He lay down in the crevice of the rock. He didn't get up and ran away until he saw Xia Lei put away the sniper rifle, and he only ran away. With one step, a bullet flew from behind and ripped open the back of his head.
There were a total of five gunmen in the pass, all of which were killed by Xia Lei alone, and no one was an exception. They were all shot in the head.
Xia Lei came to the pass. He checked all the corpses, but he did not find any mobile phones or communicators. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The humans in the New World are kept on this planet like livestock by the Blue Moon people. The Blue Moon people have set up energy fields in the sky. How can it be possible for humans to have free communication? Even in the middle Shang used original letters to contact Huang Zhan, let alone these gunmen. How could they have mobile phones or communicators? I wonder if the resistance army has them. If not, how can the commander direct the battle... "
Somehow he thought of the Resistance.
Li Ni walked over and looked at Xia Lei with awe in her eyes, "Mr. There will definitely be danger if we go deeper, so why don’t we go back and wait for the right opportunity to come back.”
Xia Lei said: "No, you stay here, I will go in alone."
"How is that possible?" Li Ni suddenly became anxious.
Xia Lei said: "These people are not staying here because they received any intelligence. We have killed Huang Zhan. The Stubborn Stone Tribe will definitely send people to guard this pass to prevent you from taking the opportunity to attack them."
"Are you sure that someone didn't leak our plan?" Li Ni also wanted to persuade Xia Lei. It’s not surprising that she has such thoughts, thinking that she has asked Ramona to go to the headquarters of the resistance army to recommend Xia Lei to the resistance army. If Xia Lei died in the Stubborn Stone Tribe, it would be a great loss to the resistance army. . Moreover, she also had plans to follow Xia Lei to join the resistance army and wanted to be with Xia Lei. Under such circumstances, how could she trust Xia Lei to enter the Stone Tribe alone
Xia Lei said: "Stop trying to persuade me. Of course I have my own reasons for making such a judgment. What I decided will not change. You can either stay here or go back."
"You are really..." Li Ni felt a little aggrieved when her good intentions were rejected like this.
Xia Lei said no more and set foot on the road to enter the pass alone.
Li Ni wanted to catch up, but Huniu held her arm, "Village Chief, Teacher Xia has made it very clear that if we follow, we won't be able to help him, but we can become a burden to him. We guard Here, wait to pick him up."
"But..." Li Ni looked at Xia Lei's back and was not reconciled.
Huniu leaned close to Li Ni's ear and whispered: "Men don't like women who pester her. Believe me, it's useless for you to chase her."
Perhaps this sentence had an effect, and Li Ni gave up the idea of catching up. She stood quietly at the pass, watching Xia Lei walk away and then disappear from her sight.
Xia Lei walked forward along the mountain road on the cliff. His speed was not fast. As he walked, his eyes kept scanning the space on the left and right sides and above his head, and he was cautious. After walking for a while, he realized that the so-called valley was actually just the small valley behind him. The further he walked, the smaller the space became. The road under your feet basically stretches along the cliffs, making even a long walk very dangerous.
An hour later, the narrow and dangerous mountain road finally came to an end. The space in front of Xia Lei suddenly opened up, and a small basin surrounded by mountains came into his sight. There is a building in the middle of the small basin, which is larger than Ping An Village. The style of architectural houses is completely different from that of Ping An Village. There are houses made of metal fragments and houses made of boxes similar to containers. The tallest building is a building made of metal garbage and boxes. The structure is chaotic and looks like a huge garbage dump. Its overall height is about twenty meters. If it can be regarded as a building, then it is the first building he saw when he came to the new world.
That is the Stone Tribe, the strongest tribe in this area.
There was originally a forest around the Stubborn Stone Tribe, but all the trees were cut down, leaving only a few tree stumps. If you want to sneak into the Stone Tribe during the day, it is almost impossible.
While observing the area around the Stubborn Stone Tribe, Xia Lei saw iron poles. Each iron pole was covered with a corpse. Some were not completely rotten, while others were already skeletons. Those iron poles circled the territory of the stubborn stone tribe, and the bones also circled the stubborn stone tribe. Set against the backdrop of corpses and huge metal garbage, the Stone Tribe exudes an aura of darkness and depravity.
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze and took out the small black stone he got from Huang Zhan. He could feel the energy contained in the stone, it was so mysterious and powerful.
"Huang Zhan carried this stone with him. He must know the value of this stone and hopes to find clues in his vault." Xia Lei said secretly in his heart.
When it gets dark, he will sneak into the Stone Tribe.
