Lubbock and Ma Yin, as the two people whose true identities have not been exposed in the night attack, are also the only members of the night attack who have the opportunity to easily enter the imperial capital to explore the news. Although neither of them is good at frontal combat and neither is very old, they have stronger counter-reconnaissance capabilities and sharper intuition than ordinary soldiers.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to even approach the secret base outside the imperial capital, let alone find it. Compared with the official area opened by the empire, the vicinity of the Night Raid Headquarters is surrounded by many deadly dangerous species. These dangerous species form an effective protective force and block the invasion of strangers.
It would take three hours to return from the imperial capital to the night attack base, even with the power of Lubbock and the other Teigu users. But for ordinary people, let alone three hours of follow-up, even the slightest approach might lead to discovery and tracking. failed.
Only people like Le Yuan who could hang far behind Lubbock and the others could approach the night attack base little by little without being noticed.
"hiss-"
Accompanied by a vague hissing sound, like a mosquito flapping its wings, a long, dark green snake with a triangular head wrapped its tail around the tree and suddenly hung down from the tree. Its body shot forward like a spring. Le Yuan passing under the tree.
The unique fishy wind when the snake's mouth opens is almost approaching Le Yuan. The first instinct of ordinary people when facing such a terrifying attack is probably to dodge. After all, venomous snakes have become a dangerous species and kill people. However, just a scratch can kill a person immediately. A person with some martial arts skills would probably counterattack with a backhand, killing the snake with one blow before it could attack.
But Le Yuan walked over as if nothing was wrong, and the long snake that was ejected had already formed into a transparent icicle. The snake-shaped icicles suddenly broke from the treetops and fell to the ground and turned into ice shards. The bloody ice shards exuded bursts of cold air.
Le Yuan stopped after walking for a while. The effect of the ice spell just now was considered the most low-key method. Not only did Le Yuan not need to take action, but the impact on the surroundings was also minimal. Countless warning traps were laid in this area that was attacked by night. In the forest, it is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it.
The area where Le Yuan is currently located is a restricted forest 30 kilometers outside the imperial capital. The forest is full of dangerous species and can be said to be a natural hunting ground. There is no shortage of food for brave people like Night Raid who are skilled in art. , is the best hiding place.
"Huh? Ma Yin and Lubbock stopped. Is that direction the location of the night attack?" Le Yuan looked at the place where Ma Yin's breath stopped and murmured.
Now, two of the three women in the night attack have been confirmed by Le Yuan, and the only remaining one who has not yet met is Chitong, the former first heroine. The biggest purpose of this trip is to confirm her identity.
Avoiding many well-set traps and alarms, Le Yuan finally arrived at a place only 3 kilometers away from the night attack base. Looking up at the night attack base on the mountain wall, Le Yuan narrowed his eyes and felt like a dragonfly touching water. Sweep by.
There are currently only four people in the night attack base, and Najiexitan doesn't know where she went but is not in the base. Even if Le Yuan put his spiritual scanning in the most rugged state, there was no one who could scan the night attack base, and the spiritual scanning was still noticed by two people.
One of them is Black Eye, the elite of the former empire's assassination force. Her intuition, which she walked out of a pile of dead people, is no less than that of a beast. She was eating snacks and stood up immediately when her spiritual sense swept over her. He put one hand on the handle of the knife and frowned, looking around for the enemy.
The other person is Brad, who has just been able to move normally and whose Teigu is still sealed, the "Hundred Killer" of the imperial military. Although he was different from Chi Tong's killer instinct, he still sensed the peeping eyes from Le Yuan immediately after surviving the battlefield.
"Lubbock, are you sure you weren't followed when you came back?" Brad nodded and exchanged glances with Chitong beside him, and then asked Lubbock, who still didn't know what happened.
Lubbock, who was also tasting the snacks, held his chin with his hand, closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and then solemnly said: "Probably not. We are very weak now and our combat power is extremely lacking, so when we came back I was very Pay attention, and we have laid out silk security wires along the way, but they were not touched until we just retracted them. If there are really enemies, that would be awesome. And haven’t the security devices we have kept on haven’t been triggered yet? You are too nervous. Come on, BOSS has only been away for a day, so there’s no need to be so nervous!”
Looking at the sworn Lubbock, Brad re-perceived the surrounding situation and found that he could no longer find the feeling of being spied on. Then he looked at Chi Tong opposite and said: "That was not an illusion just now, right? What do you think that is?"
Chitong swallowed the last bit of snack, then clapped her hands and stood up and said: "It doesn't matter what it is, I will go out for a inspection, no matter what it is, I will bury him!"
Looking at Chi Tong with a serious expression on his face, Brad nodded with satisfaction. He quite trusted Chi Tong's skills and abilities, and it was the best choice to leave this matter to her.
Looking at Chi Tong who had left the base, Ma Yin put the snacks in her arms on the table, and then said as if complaining or coquettishly: "Chi Tong definitely took this opportunity to go hunting for wild food. Just now she But she’s staring at my snack like a hungry wolf. I really envy her physique that she can’t get fat no matter how much she eats!”
"Hey, since you're afraid of getting fat, give me some of your share. I didn't expect the snacks in this family to be so delicious! After I get rid of the ministers in the future, I will definitely eat them happily again. Eat it once!" Lubbock quickly grabbed the snack from Ma Yin and ran away.
The sun passed high and the time soon came to afternoon. Le Yuan, who was wandering around the Night Raid base, no longer used his spiritual sense easily and relied on his five senses to monitor the movements of the Night Raid.
"That girl with long hair is Chitong? She is really a dangerous person. He was detected just by taking a glance." Le Yuan stood three kilometers away and stared at the target person walking out of the night attack base.
Chitong walked out of the base and wandered around the base as if he had no purpose at all. However, the seemingly random patrol unknowingly checked all the traps and warning devices, and at the same time looked at it several times intentionally or unintentionally. Le Yuan, who had been looking for opportunities, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he visited Le Yuan's area.
"How should we contact her in this state? We can't force her to fight. Knocking her unconscious may make the noise a bit louder." Although Chitong's strength is not as good as Esdeath, the threat is not low either. There was no way he could resist the cursed poison Le Yuan on the demon sword Murasame. "Really staring at the beautiful yet dangerous Teigu or giving up?"
After some judgment, Le Yuan chose to wait for the opportunity and continue to stare at Chi Tong who went out alone. But this stare only lasted an afternoon. After following Chi Tong all afternoon, Le Yuan finally knew what foodie style was.
For most of the afternoon, Chi Tong encountered a lot of dangerous species, but most of them retreated without a fight after sensing the danger of Chi Tong. Chi Tong also did not pursue them, only when they encountered a creature named "Evil Chirp" The giant bird-shaped dangerous species didn't give up after that, and it took him half an hour to find a chance to kill it without using the Teigu.
"Are you so obsessed with eating? In order to prevent the poison from affecting the edibility, you spent so long killing it with bare hands. I really don't know whether to praise or complain. Professional foodies are worthy of admiration."
Le Yuan observed that now, he still has not found Chi Tong's fatal weakness. His seemingly unprepared actions contain fatal murderous intentions, as if he wants to attract Le Yuan, a hidden person, out.
Watching the bonfire raised by the river skillfully roasting the red eyes of the giant bird, Le Yuan's eyes lit up, and a plan quietly emerged from his mind.
Chitong, who was extremely sacred about cooking food, suddenly had her ears trembling slightly, and her eyes looked vaguely in a direction in the forest. Suddenly there was a rustling sound, I don't know if it was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves or the sound of dangerous species passing by. But it was very familiar to Chitong. Although it was very light, it was mixed with the sound of human footsteps.
Glancing at the giant bird that was still roasting, Chitong grabbed Murasame and rushed over without looking back. His vigorous figure shuttled through the woods and rushed in the direction of the footsteps that were getting closer and closer.
"Crack-"
Only ten meters away from the footsteps, Chitong walked through a bush and came to a wide area with a clear view of the surrounding scenery. But here, let alone the footsteps, even the footprints disappeared.
"Escaped?"
Although he came to such a conclusion, Chitong did not leave easily but wandered around the area. After some investigation, he was helplessly confirmed that he had indeed lost him.
Chitong, who was quite annoyed, was lowering her head in meditation. She suddenly raised her head and shouted: "Oh no!" Then she no longer cared about the enemy in front of her, turned around and ran in the direction where she came from.
Chitong was barbecuing by the river. Chitong hurried back here only to find that part of the barbecue being cooked had been burnt due to the disturbance just now. He picked up a dagger and scraped the burnt area bit by bit. Chitong looked around while holding the barbecue. The figure just now was so strange, as if it was deliberately attracting her to come away, but there was nothing close around it, and it was exactly the same as when she left, which made her think that the figure just now was because she was overthinking it.
Taking a bite of the freshly cut roast meat, Chitong looked happy. Eating was the top priority in her life, and no one could stop her persistence in eating except those who were assigned tasks.
But just after taking two or three bites, Chitong's face suddenly changed, and the barbecue in his hand fell to the ground. Then Chitong, who was sitting, tilted his body and fell beside the fire. His eyes were closed as if he had completely lost consciousness. .
