After finding the place where the group of people had fallen behind, the group of people quickly returned to the cave where they had originally been staying and began to discuss their next course of action.
Everyone was thinking of how to lure this group of people out of their caves and wipe them out. Only Luo Lingwei was silent.
"What is the Empress thinking?" Everyone saw that Luo Lingwei did not speak and only stared at the map, seemingly thinking about something.
Luo Lingwei saw Zhang Long ask her, so she shook her head. A moment later, her eyes flashed, and then asked Zhang Long: "Go down and check if the air below is dirty?
Zhang Long thought for a while and said, "The air below is not turbid, and there seems to be no cold wind."
Luo Lingwei nodded and said, "That's right."
Everyone was confused, not knowing what Luo Lingwei was talking about.
"Just now, Zhang Long went down to investigate and found out that this group of thieves were hiding in an ancient tomb. Logically speaking, after the ancient tomb was closed, there should have been a completely sealed off space inside. "However, it was obvious that this ancient tomb had been stolen, which was why we were able to discover this cave."
The crowd still didn't know what Luo Lingwei wanted to say, but they could only patiently listen to what she was saying.
"As Zhang Long said earlier, this ancient tomb's passageway is only enough for two people to walk side by side. This shows that this ancient tomb is actually not that big. However, there were more than a hundred of these bandits. If they lost twenty to thirty people due to the pursuit of soldiers, that would still be seventy to eighty people. It would not be enough, then, to keep the men breathing beneath and lighting the torches. So this place must have other exits. "That's why Zhang Long could vaguely feel a cold wind."
After Luo Lingwei finished talking, everyone came to a realization. Previously, they had been thinking about how to force these people out, but they hadn't thought about these questions.
"Esteemed envoy, what should we do next?" Timur asked respectfully as he admired a woman so much from the bottom of his heart.
Luo Lingwei gave a sly smile. "Have you ever played in an ant's nest?"
Everyone was confused, only Zhang Long understood what Luo Lingwei was saying.
"Are you saying that we should pour water into the ancient tomb?" Zhang Long asked.
Luo Lingwei nodded her head and said, "It's not bad to pour the water, but the mountains are far away and the location of the tomb is unknown. This method is too slow."
Zhang Long was confused.
"I hope the Empress can give me a clear indication."
Luo Lingwei said, "In the next few days, we'll find the exit of this tomb, and then we'll send one letter to our deaths, and finally leave behind two holes. We'll pour smoke into one of the holes, and then set up another trap at the entrance, and force them out of the hole, we'll definitely catch them in one go!"
Everyone nodded their heads. They had to admit that Luo Lingwei's plan was very effective and simple. Everyone sighed. Why hadn't they thought of this plan just now? Wasn't this the way to catch rabbits and other animals that would dig holes in the grassland?
After they agreed on a plan, everyone began to move. In just one night's time, Luo Lingwei had found all the entrances to the tomb with her drone. The next morning, everyone first secretly marked the entrance of the cave Luo Lingwei had found. They then went to the forest to collect wolf dung and create smoke according to Luo Lingwei's instructions. When night fell, everyone quietly moved rocks to completely seal the cave entrance. Xiao Qing went to prepare the trap, and Xiao Bai even bought some traps for hunting beasts from the hunters at the foot of the mountain.
After everything was ready, everyone began to move.
Zhao Hu, Xiao Bai, and Luo Lingwei lit up the wolf smoke at the entrance of the cave. They used their own fans to continuously fan the wolf smoke into the cave.
At this moment, in the ancient tomb, Eldest Brother Wang was sitting in the main tomb chamber to discuss things with his younger brother.
"Hmm?" Elder Brother Wang inadvertently caught a glimpse of smoke drifting into the tomb.
"F * ck, which grandson is it? I already told you to be careful with fire!" Boss Wang's little brother had a fiery temper, and even started to curse.
"Report!" At this moment, a small fry coughed as he reported to Boss Wang.
"The cave was filled with thick smoke for some reason. Many brothers couldn't bear to leave the cave, but they didn't know why the cave was blocked off."
When Boss Wang heard this, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed.
"Tell our brothers to look around and see if there's anywhere we can go." Boss Wang put his ghost blade on his back and gave his younger brother a look. The two stood up and left the main tomb chamber, heading towards another corridor. The lackeys behind him saw that their leader had already left and naturally wouldn't stay any longer. He followed her out of the main tomb chamber.
Not long after, the entire tomb was filled with thick smoke. Due to the delay in withdrawal, some of the small fries had already died in this thick smoke.
Everyone fled in a flustered manner. They finally found a cave entrance. At this moment, the thick smoke was drifting out of the cave, indicating that this cave entrance was open.
They didn't have any time to think. Seeing that they had a chance to escape, they ran out of the cave as fast as they could.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the cave, they heard a miserable scream. Someone stepped on the trap, someone fell into a pit filled with bamboo sticks, and someone triggered the hidden arrow mechanism. In an instant, more than ten people had lost their lives.
Boss Wang knew that this time, his team was finished. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, if he brought a few remnants of his troops to receive the greeting, the government would still ignore him. After all, before, he had more than a hundred people in a group. At that time, it was extremely beneficial for the government to recruit him, but now that they had suffered heavy casualties, it was useless for the government. They might as well exterminate him.
At this point, it was better to not think about the matter of receiving the greeting. Everyone knew that they had only one path left to take.
With the mindset of fighting to the death, these bandits were unexpectedly brave. However, he was still stopped by the trap.
And at this time, Little Qing and the others were still hiding in the dark. Everyone wanted to rush up and fight with the bandits, but they were stopped by Zhang Long. Zhang Long told everyone that the time was not right and observed for a moment.
After a while, the group of bandits looked like they were drunk, their hands and feet were powerless, a few of them even directly collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up.
It turned out that Zhang Long had added the smoke left behind by Ming Gui and the others when he was making the smoke. As a result, everyone felt dizzy and fell to the ground after being hit by the smoke.
Seeing the bandits fall to the ground, Zhang Long knew that the time had come. He shouted loudly and raised his long saber. A group of people rushed forward, covering their faces.
