Chapter 2574: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand (Two Chapters in One)

During the days when the pig-headed warriors stayed at the outpost, their lives were definitely not as good as when they were in the camp.

Now that they were ordered to pack up and leave, they were naturally very happy.

Not long after, the pig-headed warriors who were on missions outside packed up their things and returned to the camp.

On the way back, the pig-headed warriors who were on missions at different outposts met on the road.

They were very happy after meeting each other and talked about what happened during their recent missions at the outposts.

In the pig-headed camp, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain was processing some herbs in his room. Now he was busy processing the herbs the most.

"Dong Dong Dong."

The door of the room was suddenly knocked. After hearing the noise, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain immediately raised his head and shouted to the person outside the door.

"Come in."

Hearing the sound coming from the room, the person outside the door immediately pushed the door open.

"Captain." The pig-headed warrior with earrings in his ears came into the room and reported, "They are back."

"What?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and did not react for a while.

His subordinates then reported in detail, "The people who went out on a mission are back."

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain walked out of the room and looked towards the entrance of the camp.

He instantly saw several subordinates who were on a mission at the outpost, now gathering together.

"Captain." These pig-headed warriors who returned from a mission immediately greeted their superiors when they saw them.

"Why are you back?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain came to his subordinates and asked.

"It was that adult who asked us to come back. He said that the area we are in has become very unsafe now.

If we continue to stay there, we are likely to be attacked by strange beasts, so let us pack up and come back..." said the pig-headed warrior.

"I see." The handsome pig-headed logistics captain nodded, and then asked his subordinates who returned to the camp to go back to the dormitory to rest.

When the returning pig-headed warrior left and headed for his dormitory, a figure hurried over from a remote location of the camp not far away.

"Captain."

"Why are you so panicked? What happened?" asked the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.

"The ground near the warehouse where the wood is stored has cracked, and a lot of water is pouring out of the ground." The subordinate described what happened.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain frowned, and then he immediately stepped forward.

After a while, the two came to the place where the problem occurred.

The warehouse where the wood is stored is more than 100 square meters. Now, more than ten meters away from the warehouse, a two-meter-long crack has opened on the ground, with a width of the size of a palm.

Clear water flows out of this crack, wetting the surrounding ground.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain came to the crack and reached out to touch the water flowing out of the crack.

The clear water is very cold, without any sticky feeling.

"Captain, I've tried it, there's nothing wrong with this water, it's just ordinary clean water." The subordinate said.

"Why is the ground cracked and water coming out?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain said puzzledly.

The subordinate stood aside without saying anything, patiently waiting for his superior to issue an order.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain did not hesitate too much. He thought for a while and immediately issued an order.

"You go and call a few people to dig a ditch here to divert the water outside the camp."

The subordinate received the order, nodded immediately, and turned away.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain decided to dig a ditch to divert the water outside the camp. This approach was correct.

If it takes too long, the water coming out of the ground will flood many places in the camp, and the losses will be great at that time.

The subordinate who left quickly called a few people, and these people started digging a ditch with the tools in their hands.

Fortunately, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain did not waste too much time in making this decision. When the ditch was dug, more water came out of the crack.

A large amount of water flowed out of the camp through the ditch, and finally entered the creek in the corner and flowed out of the valley.

If the handsome pig-headed logistics captain hesitated for a while when making the decision, the time to dig the ditch would definitely be extended.

At that time, other places in the camp would inevitably be affected.

"Captain, I think the ditch should be dug deeper, which will be safer." The pig-headed warrior in charge of digging the ditch looked at the large amount of water gushing out of the crack, and he was inevitably a little uneasy, so he wanted to dig the ditch deeper.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain had a deep understanding of his subordinates' concerns. He had participated in the canal excavation project before, and at that time, there were no small problems because the design was conservative.

"Okay, let's do it according to your idea."

"Okay, captain." The pig-headed warrior smiled and nodded, and then worked together to widen the ditch.

It was noon, and after a long period of hard work, a two-meter-wide ditch appeared in the camp.

As time passed, everyone knew what happened in the camp.

At this time, everyone stood in front of the ditch and talked about it, with surprise on their faces.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain looked at the source of the water flow and frowned in thought.

So far, he still couldn't figure out why there were cracks in the camp and a lot of water flowing out.

A loud gong sounded from the direction of the canteen. The pig-headed warriors who were talking heard the sound of dinner and immediately left the place where they were watching the excitement.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain was also hungry at this time, so he didn't stay where he was and walked towards the canteen with his men.

…………

"Roar..."

A loud beast roar came from a distance, and the figure walking in the woods stopped.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked in the direction of the beast roar. He came to this place for inspection today, and so far, he has not been attacked.

Compared with yesterday, today's luck is better.

At this time, the beast roar suddenly appeared, and it should be not far away from him.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought about it and decided to take the initiative to approach to see what was going on.

He quickly came out of the woods and walked all the way. A hill hundreds of meters high appeared in front of him.

There are lush trees on the mountain, some of which have twisted trunks and are covered with brown vines.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked up the mountain. Before he walked a few dozen meters, he was attacked by a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The emerald green poisonous snake attacked, and the next second it was beheaded.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glanced at the dead poisonous snake without paying too much attention.

As he continued to walk up the mountain, he found that there were many poisonous snakes hidden in the mountain.

"We shouldn't go here. It's a waste of time to do this."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead decided not to go to the top of the mountain when he was halfway up the mountain. So far, he has killed at least fifteen poisonous snakes.

If he continues to walk to the top of the mountain, the number of poisonous snake attacks will only increase, so it is better to stop the loss in time.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead decided to change his route. After going down the mountain, he walked around the hill full of poisonous snakes. After passing through the valley, the view in front of him became much wider.

He quickly ran to a boulder a hundred meters away, hid behind the boulder, and then stuck his head out to look at the location where the beast roared.

The two beasts confronted each other, both of them were at the beginning of the third stage.

Because their strengths were almost the same, fighting would only hurt both sides, so the two beasts did not take the initiative to attack, but just watched each other roaring to intimidate each other, trying to force the other to leave.

"It turned out to be two beasts at the beginning of the third stage. I wonder if they have other companions?"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead hid in the dark and observed for a few minutes, but never saw the two beasts take action.

With his strength, it would not be difficult to kill these two beasts.

If the two beasts started fighting first and both were injured, it would be very easy for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead to deal with the two beasts.

Unfortunately, the two beasts did not take action for a long time. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead hid in the dark. It was not worthwhile to continue wasting time, so he decided to take the initiative.

"Roar..."

The beasts roaring at each other did not realize that the danger was coming, and stared at each other.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from behind one of the beasts and approached at a very fast speed.

The beasts that were attacked found the enemy attack and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The weapon of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead fell on the beast, causing a deep wound in the beast's abdomen that could be seen to the bone.

The injured beast screamed in pain, and then he quickly dodged to the side.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took advantage of the victory and launched a violent attack on the injured beast.

On the other side, the beast, startled by the sudden situation, stayed where it was and did not move.

When it reacted, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had already killed the target.

"..."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead dealt with one beast, and then started to deal with another beast.

The beast discovered the purpose of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead at this time, and it turned around and ran away without much hesitation.

"Where are you running?"

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not intend to let the beast go, and quickly chased after it.

The gap in strength between the two sides was quite large, so the fleeing beast was quickly caught up.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead launched a fierce attack, and the fleeing beast died on the spot not long after.

The two third-order initial stage beasts were all eliminated, and the noise of the battle disappeared.

"Huh..."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead burst out with all his strength and successfully killed the two beasts, consuming a lot of physical strength and spiritual energy, and was exhausted and panting.

If these two beasts were only second-order strength, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead would not have attacked them so decisively.

The main reason for doing so is that the third-order beasts are more threatening.

If we kill them now, the threat to the camp can be reduced.

"I have to leave this place quickly."

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said to himself.

The battle just now was quite noisy, and it is possible that these two beasts have companions.

Leaving at this time can avoid revenge.

Before leaving, the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead took a large piece of meat from the beast.

It was almost noon, and it was time to think about eating.

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead left the battle scene with the beast meat and ran away quickly.

Not long after, his figure disappeared in the dense grass.

After the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead left, the roar of the beast sounded again in this quiet area.

As he expected, the dead beast had companions, and they rushed over immediately after hearing the noise here, but they were still late and only saw the corpse of their companions.

I want to avenge my companions, but the enemy left first. It is very difficult to catch up with them now.

And there are hostile forces eyeing them. If we track them at this time, they may take advantage of the opportunity.

The angry beasts can only leave with the bodies of their companions. Before leaving, these beasts also destroyed the scene, causing a large number of plants to be shattered.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had suffered particularly heavy losses from the hill full of poisonous snakes he had visited before. The attack of the beasts fell on this hill, killing large groups of poisonous snakes.

…………

A wide river rushed from the depths of the mountains, and the sun fell on the river, making the river sparkle.

Occasionally, you can see some driftwood floating on the water, carried by the turbulent river to an unknown distance.

Upon closer observation, there are actually some creatures on these huge driftwood.

These creatures are likely to have accidentally fallen into the water, and in order to survive, they climbed onto the driftwood.

At this moment, these creatures can only go with the flow, and whether they can survive in the end depends on luck.

In an open space on the river bank, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead piled up the collected wood, and then he lit a bonfire.

He took out the piece of exotic beast meat he had obtained from his backpack, cut it into pieces with a dagger, and then skewered the exotic beast meat with a branch.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had roasted exotic beast meat for lunch at noon. The fresh ingredients were roasted in the bonfire and soon gave off a very tempting fragrance.

The breeze from the river blew on his body, making the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead feel cool while resting in the shade of the tree.
