The ten scouts got off their horses and walked around the foot of the mountain for a while. When they found a relatively easy place to climb, they took off their hooks and ropes and climbed up the mountain. One of the Sky Eye's leader was the fastest, he himself possessed a certain level of Spiritual Martial Cultivation, his two palms covered his spirit armor, and the rocks on his claws were much more solid than the other scouts.
After crawling for over an hour, the scout leader finally reached the top of the mountain. He quickly secured one end of the rope to the rock and threw the other end down. With the help of the rope, the other nine scouts were much faster and soon reached the top of the mountain.
The ten of them sat on the ground, gasping for breath as they wiped the sweat off their faces and looked around at the same time. The area at the top of Gui Jiu was not small, and was filled with strange rocks and overgrown weeds. If one wanted to find out if there were any ambushing soldiers, they would have to enter the inner area and carefully inspect it. After resting for a moment, the scout captain bowed his head to his nine companions, stood up and said, "Don't delay any longer, get up and work!"
Although Sky Eye and Earth Web were independent, he had the highest official rank among everyone, so the Earth Web scout could only listen to his orders. The crowd struggled to get up from the ground, putting down the excess debris on their bodies before dispersing. One by one, they raised their legs and lightly landed on their feet, carefully moving towards the mountain peak in a fan-shaped fashion.
The top of the mountain was wide, but it was much smaller compared to the foot of the mountain. Not long after, the ten spies had patrolled the mountain. After the inspection, everyone gathered and shook their heads, indicating that they had not discovered anything.
The scout leader heaved a sigh of relief and grinned at his companions. "Looks like the mountain top is safe. Let's report back to report the situation!"
"Yes sir!" The nine scouts complied, all walking towards the place where they had climbed up just a moment ago.
The scout leader walked in front and took two steps. He suddenly stopped and frowned. The nine scouts behind came forward, and looked at him in puzzlement, asking, "What's wrong?"
The captain did not speak, but split up and walked to the edge of the cliff on the left, stopping in front of a boulder. He first reached out his hand to support the boulder, then squatted down and carefully observed the ground. At this time, the other nine people hastily crowded over and asked in unison, "Captain, what's going on?"
"There are scratches on the ground, someone has touched this rock before!" The top of the mountain was covered with weeds and moss, but there was nothing at all. This meant that the scratches did not last long.
He looked down and saw that below the boulder was the official road. If this boulder were to suddenly drop down from the sky and smash to death any number of people, not to mention the fact that it was stuck in the middle of the road, it would cut the army into two halves.
Thinking about that, the scout leader took a deep breath, and thought that it was not good, at the same time, his face changed, and he anxiously said to the scouts on his left and right: "Back off! "Retreat quickly!" Finished speaking, he did not wait for his other nine companions to react, and took the lead to rush towards the place where they climbed up first.
However, it was already too late for them to return. Just as the ten scouts were about to reach the top, a person suddenly appeared from behind a strange rock in front of them. This person was dressed in black, of medium height and had a pale complexion.
Because they had already checked in advance, the ten spies didn't expect there to be strangers hiding at the top of the mountain. This person's sudden appearance scared all ten of them and they all cried out at the same time.
"You really are a group of idiots. Since you didn't see anyone, then obediently go back. And yet, you still want to perform meritorious deeds and cause trouble for yourselves. You are courting death, no wonder you're looking for someone else!" As the man spoke, he drew a sword from his waist. This sword was two fingers wide and three feet long. Its body was bright and bright, and under the hidden rays of the sun, its cold radiance radiated in all directions.
The ten spies secretly inhaled, and under the pressure of the enemy's aura, they instinctively took two steps back.
The scout captain clenched his fist and asked in a low voice, "Did you push that huge boulder to the side of the cliff? What exactly is your intention? " Since he didn't see anyone else, he could only count this matter on this man in black. However, if this was the case, then it would be too terrifying. That huge boulder was at least several hundred jin in weight.
The man in black looked at the scout leader with sparkling eyes, nodded his head and smiled: "I am very careful and smart, but it just so happens that you are destined to have a short life!"
By saying so, he was undoubtedly admitting to it. The scout captain's heart trembled, cold sweat instantly flowed down, and he asked: "Are you Zhong Tian's subordinate or a member of the Ning Army?"
"You can ask the King of Hell about this!" The black clothed man slowly raised the sword in her hand, the sword tip aimed straight at the ten scouts.
Seeing that they didn't want to continue talking, the ten of them looked at each other, took out the daggers they carried with them, and slowly approached the man in black.
"Hng hng!" The black-clad man sneered, and spoke faintly, "You dare to compete with Haoyue in rice grains?!"
Just as he finished speaking, the two scouts who were walking in front of him took the initiative to attack him. Their dual daggers were aimed at the black-clothed man's chest and lower abdomen. The latter simply shook her body, allowing the two daggers to pass through her body. The sword in her hand was then raised forward, and before the right spy could understand what was going on, her chest was pierced by the Steel Sword.
The black-clothed person's speed was extremely fast. After piercing through a spy, he immediately sheathed his sword. As he flipped his wrist, the blade of the sword slashed towards the throat of another spy. The latter saw it, but that was it. He didn't have time to dodge and had to block it in the future. With a hiss, a three inch long gash appeared on his neck. The blood that spurted out formed a red mist in the air.
In the blink of an eye, two of his brothers had been killed by the black clothed man's sword. The Spirit Wave shot out, and the five scouts were all not Spirit Cultivator, they were so frightened that they crawled on the ground and dodged, but before they could even stand up, they saw another sky full of Spirit Blade flying towards them, it was the Chaotic Wind.
The pitiful five spies were completely helpless against the chaotic wind and were instantly minced to pieces.
Ah!
When the remaining scouts captain and his two companions saw this scene unfold, they subconsciously retreated until they reached the edge of the cliff. There was nowhere for them to retreat to.
After killing seven people, the man in black sneered as he slowly walked towards the team of three scouts.
"Team..." Captain... We're now... "What should we do?" The two scouts were so scared that their faces were drained of blood as they stammered.
The scout captain clearly knew that the opponent's Soul Martial Art was too powerful and was not something that he could handle. It was impossible for him to keep his life today. It didn't matter if the ten of them died on the mountain, but the army at the foot of the mountain didn't understand the situation on the mountain. They might even send more people up the mountain, which would only increase the number of innocent casualties.
Thinking about that, he bit his lips, grabbed hold of the wrists of the two scouts beside him, and bellowed: "What are you afraid of? "Even if we were to die in battle with our heads missing and our bowls full of scars, we must not disgrace the fame of our Windy Army and the might of our Windy Nation!
After hearing his words, the two spies' spirits were lifted. Taking a few deep breaths, they raised their heads abruptly and looked at the black-clothed person while yelling, "Evil thief, come …"
Before the two of them could finish their words, the scout captain grabbed their wrists and pulled them back. At the same time, he said, "Brother, I'm sorry!"
The two scouts were pulled back by the force of his pull, but they were already standing on the edge of the cliff. The moment they stepped back, they stepped on empty air, causing the two scouts to lose their balance, their arms waving, and their faces filled with disbelief. They let out long screams as they fell off the cliff.
Oh? The man in black looked at the scout leader in confusion. He didn't understand why the scout leader would suddenly kill his two comrades.
The scout captain suddenly grinned and said: "No matter how powerful your spiritual martial art is, you are just a poor stupid pig! When my two brothers fell off the cliff, they would definitely die. However, it would definitely raise the alarm of the army at the foot of the mountain.
So that's how it was!
After the man in black heard the captain's words, he suddenly realized what had happened. First, he was furious, but then he couldn't help but admire the man's intelligence and agility. The corner of his mouth twitched, and his face revealed a terrifying malevolence. His eyes flickered with an ominous glint, and he walked over to the scout captain while clenching his teeth and saying, "Fine! Very good! I will make you die ten, a hundred times more painfully than they do! "
The scouts leader was not wrong, the two of them fell off the cliff and died a horrible death on the official road, which immediately aroused Feng Army's vigilance.
Very quickly, the soldiers who went to investigate carried the broken body back. Their appearances were no longer clear, but from the clothes that they were wearing, Le Tian and Ai Jia immediately recognized that the two were the scouts that they sent out just now. The spies had already climbed to the top of the mountain, there was no way they would fall for no reason. There was only one explanation, there was an enemy on the mountain.
Understanding this point, the two did not dare delay any longer and quickly went to find Tang Yin, to report the situation to him.
After Tang Yin heard this, he could not help but freeze for a moment. Then, he turned to look at Zi Ying beside him. Fortunately he had Zi Ying's reminder, but if he had, he would have led his army to walk across the narrow public road. If he had been ambushed by the soldiers at the peak of the mountain, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Damn it! The enemy actually dared to set up an ambush for them! Tang Yin clenched his fists tightly, and looking at Gui Jiu's peak, he asked: "General Zi Ying, according to your estimation, how many soldiers will be ambushing the mountain?"
