Chapter 282 I’m Here to Lead You...
In the open field, there is no doubt about Tang En's speed. If he is in full condition, few people can keep up. Of course, this is still incomparable to Samp, a space magician. His speed is definitely like a plug-in. Well, or it shouldn't be said to be speed, because it's not on the same level at all...
One teleportation can reach several kilometers away. How can such traveling ability be matched by two legs?
However, Samp cannot do this now, because short-distance teleportation cannot be as precise as moving in a small area. If it is accidentally teleported, Tang En's figure, which was finally discovered, will disappear again. Furthermore, Samp's current movement is not slow. Although it is not as abnormal as teleportation, it is far faster than Tang En's running speed.
Even so, Tang En rushed into the mountains outside the city first. No way, the early advantage is too obvious. The pigeon just released was so amazing that by the time Samp came to his senses and found him, he had already bolted several miles away...
The terrain in the mountains is complex, full of ravines, boulders, and shrubs. There are so many places to hide. It is undoubtedly difficult to find someone here. It can be said that the difficulty is no less difficult than in a densely populated city.
So even though it didn't take long, when Samp appeared high in the sky outside the mountain, Tang En was still missing from his sight.
With no expression of surprise, Samp lowered his face to a height of five or six feet, flew in a semi-arc shape outside the mountain, searched briefly, and then returned to the starting point and stopped. Losing trace does not mean that the other party has moved away from the area. In fact, Samp is sure that the other party must be hiding somewhere not far away, and then slowly retreat through various obstacles.
Samp did not rush in to search. Instead, he quietly suspended in the air and monitored the place. Of course this didn't mean he was afraid, he was waiting for Oliver to come. A person's sight will eventually have blind spots, but if two people cross-search and have the convenience of being superior, this problem can naturally be avoided to a large extent.
Oliver didn't come very quickly. He was targeted by the city defense machinery when he just left the city. He finally put away his giant state and got out. Of course, Beacon City was not having a hard time either. Not only were several heavy crossbows worth thousands of dollars destroyed, but several groups of soldiers who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rush out of the city were also blocked at the city gate by the light of Oliver's huge blue sword. In the passage, most of the people were dead and injured.
"Thamp..." After all, they had been together for a long time. Oliver immediately noticed that Thumb was in a bad mood. He hesitated and asked tentatively, "That boy..."
After waving his hand, Samp regained his calm tone, pointed at the mountains in front of him and said, "It's right here."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Oliver's eyes widened, he picked up his animal skin sleeves and rushed in, "Hurry up and find them, kill them and leave."
Now things have completely escalated. Not to mention facing the Temple of Light, Samp's actions in the city just now were enough to anger the Bran Empire. If we don't leave as soon as possible, I'm afraid we'll never leave Bran's land.
"Don't worry!" Samp frowned, looked at the mountains in front of him, exhaled the tightness in his chest, and shook his head, "Be sure to search thoroughly later and don't miss any corner. The opponent is very cunning and has a good hiding ability... …Well, no less than Eunice!”
"You don't have to say... Well, no less than Eunice?" He replied carelessly at first, then Oliver reacted and looked up in surprise.
An excellent team member will naturally have a division of labor and complement each other. The same is true for the Dusk Hunters. Just as Oliver is responsible for attacking and blocking the rear, what Eunice does in the team is reconnaissance and sneak attacks. In this way, her hiding ability is naturally very high.
It is not an exaggeration to say that based on his hiding ability, Oliver really didn't find anyone taller than Eunice among his peers. But now that he was listening to the hesitation in Samp's words, the other party was probably not lower than Eunice. …
This was indeed the case. Even though he had been tricked before, Samp had to admit that the other party's hiding ability was indeed very good, even vaguely better than Eunice. You must know that he was chasing the opponent in the city just now, and he was still in the air with a commanding view, but he still almost lost him a few times, so he could only use large-scale magic attacks to force the opponent towards him...
Seeing Samp nodding solemnly, Oliver took a deep breath and then nodded: "Understood!" After saying that, he walked into the mountains with his sword in hand.
What can be called a mountain range will naturally not be small in scope. The same is true for the one in front of me. Looking around, the undulating peaks are topped with lush trees, stretching into the distance...
Such a look and feel, coupled with the purpose of finding someone, just imagining it is enough to make people despair. However, in actual operation, it is not that unrealistic. The range here is indeed very large, but no matter where you hide, it can only be a mountain peak, so the search range will be much smaller.
As for the other party moving, that's not impossible, but there are gaps between most mountain peaks. With Samp monitoring from the air, if the other party wants to move, they will be discovered immediately.
In fact, Tang En wanted to transfer now. Although Oliver is a little nervous, he has been a bounty hunter for so long, and some skills such as tracking and tracing have long been integrated into his bones and become a habit. Coupled with Samp's reminder just now, he searched very patiently and carefully, following the direction he just came in, almost covering the entire mountain step by step.
It's not like Tang En didn't have the opportunity to escape the defense line and return to the rear. After all, the mountain was still quite big. But with Samp watching from above, if he is found blocked, his escape space will be extremely narrow. Secondly, Tang En also has some calculations in his heart. Although being chased is commonplace, it does not mean that he gives up the opportunity to fight back and trick people...
Following a protruding rock, Tang En silently moved a few feet sideways, paused for a moment at the edge, rushed out, and hid behind the ancient tree. Then he walked around into the weeds that were half a person tall and crawled forward...
No matter what the action is, it is all natural and smooth. The connection is also fast and slow, just right. Everything was done silently, and not even a single dead branch was trampled. And during this process, in addition to observing the terrain and judging the route, Tang En's peripheral vision never left Samp in the sky!
If there were ordinary people watching at this time, they would definitely not think that this figure was a human being. In comparison, it feels more like a bobcat, quick in movement and full of vigilance...
Hiding is a science, and hiding in motion is an art. As the old butler said, Tang En has an almost instinctive talent for hiding, and coupled with his systematic training in space, his potential has been continuously developed. It is no exaggeration to say that in this aspect, Tang En is several steps ahead of the assassins from another world.
Of course, there are some things that cannot be done by hiding, at least Tang En can't do it now. For example, pass through the blank space of about twenty feet between the two peaks in front of you without showing any trace.
Through the leaves and branches, Samp suspended in the air did not deliberately focus his gaze here, but with Tang En's observation ability, he could naturally see that most of Samp's attention was still here. No matter how fast he goes, he will be discovered.
"That's all..." Tang En shook his head slightly helplessly. Just discover it if you find it. The worst thing is that it will be dangerous. Well, I just hope that Joshua's information is accurate enough...
After making up his mind, he stepped out, and whoosh - the figure shot out like an arrow from the bowstring, a few dozen feet away, just a breath passed.
But at this moment, Samp suddenly turned his head, his blade-like eyes swept across the corner of his eyes, quickly swung his staff to cut off the space blade, and shouted: "Here!"
boom……
In order to better control all directions, Samp was naturally not close to the ground. And because of this distance, Tang En naturally did not have to worry about any attacks. When he crashed into another mountain range without looking back, the space blade cut off the general and carved a deep ravine in the ground.
"Stay, you... roar!"
Samp knew that the attack could not have any effect, so he immediately dodged over after throwing it, roared angrily, and opened his hands wide. Chi chi chi… The sound of splitting air was heard intensively, and the invisible blades of space surged wildly, sweeping across the front.
boom! boom! boom……
boom! boom! boom……
The banging sound was caused by the rock. The stone shook violently, but in an instant, a number of criss-crossing streaks appeared on the stone surface. As for the trees that roared, the space blades rolled over and simply broke apart. Then they swayed and collapsed, causing the ground to tremble.
This attack disappeared as quickly as it came. When Oliver arrived, he couldn't help grinning when he saw the devastated scene that had been instantly emptied. As for the result, you can tell by looking at the expressionless Samp.
"Fuck, this kid is really slippery."
"Continue!" Samp said nothing and rose into the air again.
Shrugging his shoulders, Oliver walked around the messy piles of tree branches and walked into the mountains to search again.
…
What happened next was mostly a replica of what happened before. The more Samp and Oliver searched, the more frightened they became. At this time, they had to admit that the other party was indeed better at hiding than Eunice. In addition to being able to separate the open space on the mountain peak, When they found out that the other party was not around, the rest of the time they were doing useless work.
After finding it, Oliver gave up because every time he just finished searching half of the mountain, the opponent would quietly break through from the other side. Looking at this posture, the other party seems to be focused on running away and has no intention of entangled with them.
During this time, Samp's face became increasingly ugly. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to move, he had attacked many times, but each time he was narrowly avoided by the opponent. And in the end he couldn't continue to catch up. There is no way, the other party's hiding level is too high, even if he is added, it is unlikely to find the other party. Furthermore, if he wasn't monitoring from high altitude, the other party might have escaped long ago...
Huh... Every time the attack failed, Samp took a long breath, barely suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and then kept telling himself: Wait, wait, let him be arrogant for a while, and wait until he can sense the space. When Tong Shi, pull him out and kill him to pieces!
One is full of anger, the other is entangled and depressed. In such a state, Samp and Oliver naturally found out that no matter how Tang En escaped, he never left the official road too far...
Finally, about three hours after coming out of the city, Thumper and the two saw Tang En's ordinary face again.
They didn't catch him, but he was lying leisurely on a boulder with his eyes slightly narrowed. He was probably tired from running, and he was still holding a large leaf in his right hand, fanning it constantly. This looks like a rich country man, he can be as leisurely as he wants...
"Oh? Here we come!" Twain waved the broad leaves and expressed enthusiasm. "It must have been hard chasing you all the way. Hey, do you want a fan?"
Uh... Samp descended from the sky and landed about ten meters away in front of Tang En. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Oliver beside him. They were both a little surprised, but then they put away their expressions and looked at him warily. All around.
They don't think that the other party can't run anymore and is sitting there waiting to die. Compared to this, they believe that there must be some conspiracy here.
"Oh, your expressions make me very hurt..." Shaking his head, Tang En took back the leaves and looked innocent.
"Why didn't you run away... Well, did you know that the induction time was coming soon?" Samp asked calmly after making sure that there was no ambush around him.
"Yeah." Tang En nodded casually and spread his hands indifferently, "Besides, I'm tired from running, so it's boring."
"Then what's interesting? Surrender?" Samp's lips curled up slightly and he chuckled, "Haha, don't say surrender, otherwise I will be really sad."
"What I wanted to say... well, let's be honest." Touching his nose, Tang En narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, "After running for so long, it's time for me to watch a big show to make up for it."
"Big show? Here? Haha..." Samp's black robe shook, as if he couldn't help but smile. He turned around and asked, "Do you know what he meant?"
Without waiting for Oliver to answer, he turned around and said, "I'm really curious...do it!"
The light voice suddenly turned into a loud shout, and the wand was raised. Oliver on the side also roared, and rushed forward instantly with the sword flowing with blue light.
"Haha... let's go!"
The sound was still echoing, but Tang En's figure had already neatly turned back and disappeared behind the boulder.
Bang, bang, bang...
Stone chips flew into the air, and three streaks were instantly printed on the boulder where Tang En had just been lying.
"Where to go, let's go... eh?" Oliver rushed up to the boulder, swung his knife and was about to release the blue light, but he suddenly stopped when the knife just passed his head, and then his eyes widened and he stared blankly. Below.
Below is a rather long and sloping slope, adjacent to which is the official road.
Now on the official road, a group of dozens of people are riding horses at a constant speed. They were dressed quite mightily, most of them wearing full-body armor and carrying knight's spears that were ten feet long. Others were wearing white robes and holding various wands.
The only thing they have in common is that they both have a logo badge on their bodies. The image was probably that of a man holding a torch.
This image can be easily found in every town, village and almost everywhere in Bran. Because that is the God of Light!
"Hey! This way! This way!" On the slope, Tang En waved his hands and rode away, "Dear gentlemen of the Temple of Light, the murderer who destroyed the statue of the Saint is up there. I'm here to lead you... "
