Chapter 29: Ambush
Amidst the peace, a group of people slowly gathered together. After bumping heads in the forest, they dispersed again. If you look from a high altitude, you can see several teams gathering towards one place.
The center of this gathering is exactly where Huo Hai and the two are now. Huo Hai continued to search for cards in a state of ignorance. Over the past few days, Huo Hai has almost a thousand cards in his hand. If this continues, after joining the Imperial City Academy, he will definitely get enough points to exchange for blood refining pills.
Of course, this is not enough. With more and more cards, Huo Hai's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. Not only blood refining pills, but also bone refining pills will be needed in the future. The same is 200, each one needs 100 academy points, a total of 20,000 points.
"20,000 points, I don't know how much I can get, try my best, if I can collect all of them this time, it will be much easier to go to the academy in the future." Huo Hai thought silently in his heart, this is the most perfect way to build a foundation.
If you want to become a master, going through pain is nothing. Haven't you already endured it once, just do it twice. Twice, when Huo Hai thought of this, his whole body trembled. If it is not necessary, I really don't want to try it again. Huo Hai even doubted whether there is such pain in hell, this is simply asking for guilt.
But so what, for the sake of a better future, suffering now is nothing. Huo Hai didn't want to live in regret forever in the future. Without the spirit of order, it will never be possible to reach the peak.
"Hey, why are there so few cards going down today." This afternoon, Huo Hai felt strange. Because the number of cards is too small. If it was normal, it would certainly not be the only one. He has been going deep into the mountains and forests.
It is absolutely impossible for someone to go deep so fast. At this time, Ji Mu suddenly pointed to a broken branch on the ground and said: "Look, this mark is not left by spirit beasts, it is man-made. It seems that someone should have passed here in advance, and there are quite a few of them. "Huo Hai doesn't know about these things, he is very inexperienced in this area.
What Ji Mu said, but Huo Hai didn't doubt it, because she couldn't afford to deceive herself like this. When it is most important, this kind of lie will not be used casually. Who would have known that he really couldn't see it. At this moment, Huo Hai felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
How could he be uneasy? Huo Hai's eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, the Star Gus have never heard of anyone around these days. If there are really people, and there are still so many, there is no reason why they can't find out. What the hell is going on? What happened, are those people always out of my monitoring range, but why is this happening, are they avoiding me."
Thinking of hiding from himself, Huo Hai seemed to have thought of something. How could they hide from themselves, why did they know their whereabouts? Thinking about these few days, after going deep into the forest, there was indeed no news of anyone found by Star Gu.
Huo Hai didn't pay attention at first, but thinking about it now, it seems that something is wrong. Nanshan is only this big in total, and the scope of his own investigation is not small. How could it be possible not to meet someone? It is absolutely impossible.
The biggest possibility is that they are planning something. Could it be that they are going to be bad for themselves, damn it, what are they doing. The uneasiness in Huo Hai's heart became more and more serious, he closed his eyes and considered for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Expand the search area, especially behind us." Huo Hai finally decided to let go and explore the surroundings.
This time, even if he found a card, Huo Hai would not take any action. Part of the star Gu broke away from the main force and began to fly outside. As a Gu worm, the whole body exudes a special coercion that only worms have.
Feeling this breath, the other bugs died down, and they didn't even dare to do anything to them even if they were eating bugs. Star Gu came and went unimpeded, and soon expanded its range to a large range.
The probing may not be very detailed, but the scope is large enough. Finally, when Huo Hai tripled the scope, there was finally a message from the Star Gu that discovered humans: "Humans have been discovered, no, no, not one, but a team. Wait, there are also other places, So many teams, what the hell are they doing."
Huo Hai got news from Star Gu one after another. Through simple news, Huo Hai soon discovered that there were actually several teams around him. Huo Hai remained calm, and continued to follow his habits, looking for point cards.
After a long time, Huo Hai finally realized something was wrong, because these teams were slowly approaching him. A huge encirclement circle was faintly formed. There are still many people probing around, using the same method as Ji Mu just now, using the traces left by themselves to completely analyze their whereabouts.
I just don't know why they are so cautious and dare not approach him. They will dodge in the direction they are moving. And if you don't have a direction to move, you will gradually approach yourself. Doesn't this phenomenon itself explain the problem?
No wonder I didn't see anyone else along the way, no wonder there were fewer and fewer point cards along the way. No wonder Ji Mu often said that he saw traces of human activities. So it was so, so it was so, Huo Hai finally understood.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Huo Hai said flatly, "We are surrounded." Huo Hai seemed to be talking to himself.
"What, what did you say, wait, you said we were surrounded, who the hell are you?" Ji Mu had no doubts about Huo Hai's words. It is definitely not easy to find so many point cards easily.
Huo Hai's eyes narrowed slightly, and fierceness flashed in his eyes: "I don't know, but there are many people, and there are at least five teams around us, all of which are surrounding us. It's very far away from us, if you didn't say just now that there are large groups of people here I really haven't thought about the traces of the activity. These people seem to have premeditated, but they don't know who the target is."
Huo Hai gave Ji Mu a deep look. When the two met, Ji Mu was being hunted down.
God knows, whether these people were created by He Xiang. But it's not right to think about it. Although He Xiang is the third young master of the He family, he doesn't have the power to substitute so many people. Now the whole Nanshan is blocked.
Anyone who doesn't participate in the trial will be in danger of being killed as long as they dare to approach, let alone venture into the mountains. The only possibility is that these people reached an agreement. I don't know if it's for me or Ji Mu.
But think about it, it should be looking for Ji Mu, he is very low-key. It is said that before he lost his memory, he was a kind person and had never offended anyone. It is very rare to come to trouble yourself. But Ji Mu doesn't think so.
"They should be coming after you." Seeing that Huo Hai didn't believe it, Ji Mu went on to say, "Your combat ability, your detection ability, and the cards on your body are all what they want to get. You It's not because every time the people of the Imperial City Academy pass the trial, they rely on their own ability to pass, and many of them are obtained by plundering other people's cards in the later stage."
After some explanation, Huo Hai understood. Most of the people who joined the Imperial City Academy came from big families, and commoners rarely have such opportunities. Many people participate in it every year, but few truly succeed. In every trial, there are many people who can never come out again.
These, they don't know at all. But think about it, some people who come from big families will die in the trials, and you will know what's going on. Huo Hai secretly sighed in his heart, his father also felt relieved that he would come to this kind of trial alone.
"Then what should we do now? They haven't completely closed in yet, and there's a big gap in between. If we run away quickly, it will be easy to get out." Huo Hai thought for a while, and said to Ji Mu, he didn't want to be with others face to face.
Ji Mu looked at Huo Hai meaningfully, spread his hands and said, "If you think that way, there is nothing you can do. These people are like this. If you don't show them your strength, they will become more and more arrogant. You can hide now, but in the future, don’t you plan to leave Nanshan Forest. When you get to the academy, where else can you hide.”
That's right, if you can't leave Nanshan before the end of the trial world, you will be considered a failure. Now that I am hiding, they will definitely think that I am afraid of them, and I am afraid that I will be even more arrogant.
Then wait until the last few days, they will definitely ambush at the exit and prevent themselves from leaving. Even if he can leave early, after arriving at the academy. With a cooperation between these people, it is easy to form an alliance, at least in dealing with their own affairs, forming an alliance is very simple. At that time, where should I hide.
People, as long as they hide once, it is easy to form a habit. Habits are a terrible thing. If you avoid them today, will you avoid more in the future? Are you avoiding danger? No, they are not dangerous at all.
Huo Hai suddenly discovered that he still had great resistance to killing people. I don't want to meet them face to face, because I don't want to kill too much in my heart, and I resist killing. This is escaping, escaping from your own heart.
If this continues, how can I become strong, I will always be the same as an ordinary person, it is impossible to become a strong person. "Hmph, how is it possible, I am a super master who will overwhelm the entire Tianling Continent in the future, how could I be stumped by such a small difficulty. I will definitely overcome this difficulty, and I will definitely become a real master. "
Huo Hai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his temperament began to change, becoming fierce and hard to look directly at.
"Let's go, let's go deeper, this time we'll speed up. I'd like to see who dares to stand in front of me. Once found out, no one will be left behind." Huo Hai repeated his tone, and even the speed was much faster.
