Chapter 1243 Investigation

At that time, Zhou Xu was meditating in the carriage.

After all, there was still about half a month before they officially arrived at the border of the Saint Laurent Empire. The total journey time of two months was already quite long. He didn't want to keep the power of the mantra on his body all the way, which would be a bit of a waste of time.

At the same time, don't forget that there is natural energy along the way.

The natural energy in his territory was kept, on the one hand, considering the ecological environment on their own territory, and on the other hand as a reserve energy for emergency use.

For things of their own, they always have to be a little more precious, but Zhou Xu didn't have so many concerns about the natural energy outside.

He could study the mantra first, consume 20% to 30% of his own power, and then quickly restore it by absorbing natural energy.

More importantly, their team was always moving. After absorbing here, they quickly moved to the next area. There was no situation of grabbing an area and trying to pull it hard. Generally speaking, it was not too much.

To be honest, if he didn't have so much free time to run around the world on weekdays, this would be a perfect model.

Zhou Xu had just finished a round of meditation and was about to go out to exchange feelings with Qiansui when Li Ce came over on horseback.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"No need to be polite, come in."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu, who had not yet gotten off the carriage, waved his hand, signaling Li Ce to come in and talk.

Normally, Li Ce would not come to him during the march, but now that he came, something must have happened.

After entering the carriage, Li Ce was not vague and immediately told Zhou Xu about the Giant Eagle Knight's discovery and his own guesses.

"The key point now is whether there are large-scale troops hiding in that forest on the opposite side!"

If they are not hiding, it means that the other party is playing a trick of pretending to be real, deliberately letting the Goblin Wolf Cavalry outside to attract attention, and leaving a large area of ​​forest land, making people suspicious, so that they dare not advance easily, to put it bluntly, is delaying time.

On the other hand, if they are hiding, it means that the greenskins' target may have shifted from the Saint Laurent Empire to them!

The greenskins noticed their reinforcements and planned to destroy them first, and then turn back to deal with the Saint Laurent Empire.

Of course, we have to find out what happened, which is also the purpose of Li Ce's visit to Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu, who understood the situation, quickly made arrangements.

After receiving the order, a giant eagle knight bypassed the alert area of ​​the goblin wolf cavalry and brought Sion to the vicinity of the woodland at the fastest speed.

"This is the limit. If you get closer, you will be discovered."

"Lower your flight altitude, and leave the rest to me."

At the moment when the giant eagle knight lowered his flight altitude, Sion recited the mantra and jumped.

In the process of falling, his figure has transformed into a black panther with a vigorous posture, maintaining the graceful movement of diving. At the moment of touching the ground, he seemed to be soluble in water, and he quietly sank into the shadow of the ground.

It was Sion in the form of "Transfiguration" that Shadow Cheetah's mantra method "Shadow Stealth! ’

Compared to when he just broke through and was only at Bronze 1 Star, Sion’s strength has now reached Bronze 3 Star.

The substantial increase in the power of the mantra has made Sion’s actions more comfortable and greatly increased his upper limit of operation.

Maintaining the state of ‘shadow stealth’, he was incredibly fast and sneaked into the woods in a blink of an eye.

The woods full of shadows were simply his comfort zone, making his entire movement smooth as flowing water without any hindrance.

The whole process was smoother than Sion had expected. He sneaked into the woods and found a large number of greenskins before he went deep into the woods!

[There is indeed an ambush in this woods! ]

This discovery made Sion’s heart tighten, but he did not leave, but hid in the dark to observe and try to collect more information.

Sion quickly realized in a simple observation process that the number of greenskins hiding in this woods should not be underestimated.

The outer area alone is already crowded with greenskins. If this forest is full of greenskins, there are at least tens of thousands of greenskins lying in ambush here.

Thinking of this, Sion's mood suddenly became solemn.

And at this moment, a figure broke into his field of vision.

The moment he discovered the other party, Sion's pupils shrank, and then before he could think about it, the figure suddenly turned his head and looked over here!

"What's wrong?"

Facing the question, the Blood Hand King ignored it, turned around and pushed away the greenskins who were blocking his way, and then walked towards the place that made him feel strange, and finally walked under the shadow of a big tree.

Standing there, the Blood Hand King's sight kept scanning back and forth between the big tree in front of him and the shadow below, and then without any warning, a claw sank into the land covered with shadows.

"WAAAAGH! What's wrong with you?!"

The greenskin who followed behind him cursed a little inexplicably.

That was a general under the Greenskin Emperor, whose strength had also reached the peak of the Vajra Realm, and was not inferior to him at all.

Blood Hand King, who knew this in his heart, was not annoyed, but just said with a sullen face...

"Just now I felt someone was spying on me."

While speaking, Blood Hand King pulled out the arm that was almost half buried in the soil, and then shook off the dirt on the arm armor.

[Is it an illusion? ]

Blood Hand King frowned, and looked at the place where his arm was pulled out. The soil had been turned out, and there was nothing underneath.

Little did he know that in the shadow next to him, Sion was already scared and sweating, and he didn't dare to look at Blood Hand King again.

[I was noticed just by looking at it. It's really scary. Is this a warrior at the level of Vajra Realm? ]

When supporting the Smith Kingdom before, as a member of the personal army, Sion was accompanied, so he had seen the two Vajra Realm warriors of the Blood Hand Clan from a distance.

Although most greenskins look similar to other races, the pair of alloy claws wrapped around Blood Hand King's arms are too conspicuous, which made Sion recognize him at a glance.

As a result, the following things happened.

You know, Sean originally thought that he would never be discovered hiding in the shadows, but who would have thought that his situation was not as safe as he expected.

This made Sean dare not stay any longer. Anyway, the information he wanted to confirm had been confirmed, so he quickly found an opportunity and followed the shadows to leave the forest at the fastest speed...
