After leaving the settlent, three Executive Captains led the team, guided by several settlent guides, through the depths of the forest.
Because of their large number, they had previously disturbed the creatures here from ti to ti, which prevented them from increasing their Speed and left a lot of traces. However, this ti, they did not encounter any danger along the way, and even small problems could be easily solved.
The Speed was several tis faster than usual, and they even had the leisure to clean up the surrounding traces.
This was thanks to having a good guide. If they had these people helping them a few days earlier, they might have found the relics.
But even so, the three Captains still maintained a vigilance towards the people from the settlent, but they also analyzed that even if these people had a problem, it could only be for the relics, so they were basically safe until they found the relics.
After walking for half a day, several guides looked at a river in front of them, seed to notice sothing, and discussed it with each other, and then suggested resting in place. Although the team's physical Strength was completely sufficient, there must be a reason for the guides to do so, so Captain Hai imdiately ordered the team to stop and rest.
After taking a sip of water, Captain Hai looked at Captain Lu, who was sitting there frowning, "Captain Lu, are you still worried about Captain Xu? Actually, I don't think you need to worry."
Captain Lu looked over in surprise.
Captain Hai took another sip of water, slowly tightened the kettle, and said after putting it away, "Captain Xu's Strength is very strong, and he has always been cautious in his work. We may have problems, but he may not."
Captain Lu frowned and said, "No matter how good Lao Xu is at fighting, he is only one person."
Captain Hai said, "We haven't sent any news back for so many days. The Ministry of Defense won't just sit and watch. I think they will probably send reinforcents."
Captain Lu thought about it, but he was not optimistic about it. Now the main force of the Ministry of Defense is all at the World Ring gap. Although there are still strong people left in Central City, they are all protecting dignitaries. Where can they spare any manpower to co? But...
At this mont, he suddenly thought of soone, but even if this person ca to support, the strong enemies chasing them this ti may really be a lot, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the siege even if they co, not to ntion that it is not easy to find them accurately.
But having hope is better than having no hope.
He let out a breath and said, "I hope so."
Captain Hai didn't try to persuade him any more. He believed that Captain Lu would adjust himself, but his thoughts at this ti were not the sa as Captain Lu's. He said, "Captain Lu, Captain Hu, let's try our best to find the thing, so that Lao Xu can be more relaxed."
Lu and Hu both nodded. They had already agreed in advance that as soon as the thing was found, they would imdiately launch signal flares and leave secret codes in key locations to notify Xu Chan, so theoretically, the faster they found the thing, the safer Xu Chan would be.
The last ti they felt the Resonance of the relics was four days ago. At that ti, they searched forward along that trace, but the process was intermittent.
They have been able to determine that this relics should have been swallowed by a certain creature, so in addition to relying on the relics Resonance, they also need to track the traces of certain creatures. The role of the guides here is undoubtedly greater, because only the Natives here can distinguish which kind of creature it is.
At this mont, a rumbling sound suddenly ca from the front, and then countless four-legged creatures the size of horses were seen running past the river bank in front. They were obviously not very big, but they felt abnormally heavy, and they stepped out deep pits on the ground, and even the stones on the road were crushed.
After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, these creatures left, but even the terrain in front of them seed to have been changed. There were large areas of fallen trees on both sides of the river.
At this ti, everyone realized that the guides had asked them to stop earlier for this purpose. If they had passed by just now, they would have directly collided with this group of things, and I am afraid that not many would have survived.
The guide then signaled that they could set off. Captain Hai went up and talked to him for a few words, and after confirming the situation, he did not let the team leave imdiately, but walked out of the forest alone and went to the other side to check back and forth.
However, at this mont, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his arms. He imdiately stopped, turned around a few tis, and with his excellent perception ability, he imdiately fixed on one of the directions. He moved forward a dozen steps, and the feeling still existed and did not disappear.
He looked at the direction he was facing, his eyes lit up, that's right, it was here. After several days of intermittent searching, they had once again found traces of the relics.
After Chen Chuan stayed in the Union's camp for another night, he set off again after dawn. This ti, without two Motorized vehicles, he relied entirely on his walking.
However, under normal running conditions, his Speed was not much slower than that of two Motorized vehicles. Even if there was so consumption in the process, he could replenish it by stopping to eat a few Nutrition Pastes.
Instead, it took more effort to identify the surrounding traces, but he soon discovered that the further he went, the clearer those traces beca, indicating that he was approaching these people.
After about a morning, he found the third camp along the way.
And this ti, he was surprised to find that there were actually personnel stationed here, probably seven or eight ard personnel, looking like they were waiting for soone, because most of the ti they were observing behind them.
Of course, it is also possible that they were guarding against enemies coming from behind, but this possibility is relatively small, otherwise they would not be so obvious, but should try to hide themselves.
After observing for a while, he put down his luggage and walked towards the camp with the Snow Emperor Blade. The gunfire from the sentry in the camp quickly rang out, but it was silent after only a mont.
In just half a minute, he had cleared all the ard personnel in the entire camp.
He checked it again, and through so simple record files, he was able to confirm that the camps and action traces along the way were indeed deliberately left by the other party, in order to facilitate the rear to co and et them. And the people coming from the rear should have been inford in advance, knowing how to avoid the guards of those camps.
And when they got here, it ant that they were relatively close to the Union's main force.
Because it was still early, he didn't stay here for long. He took a sip of water and continued on his way. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he found another camp, also guarded by several ard personnel. After easily solving these people, he discovered a new situation here. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
After leaving this camp, the team split into two branches, each going in different directions.
He guessed that people from the Union and the Linax Federation should have been advancing together before, and separated here. These two forces are not a family after all, and separate searches are undoubtedly more efficient, so it is understandable to do so.
Through the confession of the captured ard personnel, combined with the traces on the ground, he confird that the other party was only about two or three days away from him. In this way, if the Speed was faster and there were no unexpected twists and turns in the middle, it might only take one or two days to catch up.
After clarifying the direction of the Union's route again, he decided to follow this route tomorrow.
Because according to the intelligence, most of the powerful Martial Artists this ti mainly co from the Union, and as long as these people are resolved, the problem will be solved for the most part.
Outside the gathering camp, half a day after Captain Hai and others left, the Union's advance team responsible for tracking also discovered this place, but it was already empty, and everyone had already evacuated in advance.
The most experienced action Captain in the team checked the camp, and then took people outside to scout in person, but found that there were several traces available for tracking, and it was not certain which route was the target they needed to track.
Just as they were preparing to investigate further, they suddenly heard a burst of explosions coming from the direction of the camp in the rear. The action Captain imdiately rushed back and found that the explosion was not from inside the camp, but outside. He ca to the explosion site and saw that it was a remote-controlled explosive, but fortunately, it did not cause any casualties.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the light brown fragnts on the ground and was shocked.
This is... hive?!
Hive is not a real bee, but usually refers to the nests of most gregarious flying insects in the Convergence Zone, and judging from the fragnts, the scale of this destroyed insect nest is surprisingly large.
At this ti, he shouted nervously and urgently: "Quick, quickly light bonfires around, the more the better, quickly, act imdiately!"
Under his slightly panicked voice urging, the surrounding team mbers imdiately realized sothing and quickly built simple bonfires.
Sure enough, before long, they heard the buzzing of countless flapping wings, and saw densely packed insects flying from nowhere, like a storm cloud covering the sky and the sun, which could be seen clearly even from several kiloters away.
The active plants and various creatures in the forest seed to co alive all of a sudden, and began to prey on these passing insects, and these insects quickly launched a counterattack. However, the scale of the insect swarm was extrely large. Under the impact, these active plants on the road only persisted for a mont before being gnawed clean.
The insect swarm like a sandstorm rushed outside the bonfire pile in just a while, but the bonfires and black smoke that had just been lit were suppressed. This was like opening a gap, and many insects poured in.
Seeing that they were about to subrge everyone, the Heros who had been standing still stepped forward at this ti, and light overflowed from his blue eyes. Suddenly, an invisible Strength erupted from around him. In an instant, within three or four hundred ters around, the insects that poured in fell down like rain.
However, this impact was indiscriminate. Except for the Third-Limit Martial Artists with strong Strength, all the remaining personnel, even if they were wearing protective gear, all fell to the ground.
