Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Night Raid on Long Qie Cavalry
"Hmm?"
As everyone just entered the valley, within Sky Net, someone frowned. He pulled out a Sky Net-specific satellite navigator and looked at it, his face suddenly changing.
"This is bad!"
This person quickly walked up to Long Qie and said with some anxiety, "Boss Long, the satellite navigation is not working here, we can’t find our way using the navigator!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around Long Qie also showed a slight change in expression and quickly asked, "Is that true?"
You should know, in these deep mountains and dense forests, losing direction could have very serious consequences!
Not finding the way could very likely lead to entering dangerous areas or getting lost in densely wooded areas. Either scenario would be terrifying.
Even a fully armed army, if stranded in the woods without a sense of direction, wouldn’t last long before the forest consumed everything!
This person in Sky Net, who specialized in studying these electronic devices, nodded very surely and said, "It’s true. The terrain of Gourd Mouth is very peculiar, the geomagnetic field is unusually strong, distorting the signal.
Here, we have become people without eyes!"
Long Qie glanced around him.
Although people’s eyes did not show fear, there was still some apprehension.
Long Qie knew he needed to stabilize morale. He then said with a laugh and a scold, "What are you all nervous about, is finding a direction that hard? Even without the satellite navigator, we still have the stars and our eyes!"
"Boss Long is right, there’s no need to worry. First, at night, we can completely rely on the stars to navigate, and second, Gourd Mouth is, after all, an enclosed valley, so how could we get lost? We just need to keep moving forward, and sooner or later, we’ll find Hozon’s headquarters, right?"
TW-2 said with a smile.
Within Ten Killings, he was ranked second and was the smartest. At this moment, he was helping Long Qie speak.
Sure enough, after hearing Long Qie and TW-2’s words, everyone was no longer panicked.
Long Qie then looked ahead.
The Gourd Mouth, in terms of its terrain, was shaped like a gourd. They were now inside the first ’belly’ of the gourd, looking around, the area was extremely vast; they couldn’t see the limits with the naked eye.
Long Qie used his movement technique and jumped onto the top of a large tree, and the sight he then saw was an endless expanse of primordial trees under the vault of heaven, with strong winds blowing and undulating like the sea, which broadened one’s chest.
"It’s indeed a vast expanse of primordial forest."
Long Qie jumped down from the tree, sighing softly.
In such a forest without a navigator, it indeed was a bit problematic.
But he, Long Qie, was never one to be troubled by difficulties. At that moment, a decisive look flashed in his eyes, and with a fierce wave of his hand, he commanded, "Everybody, enter into the ancient forest!"
"Right now, we’ll march straight to the core!"
Everyone let out a fierce roar, their morale high.
Immediately, Long Qie led the way, Ten Killings followed, and the group swiftly entered into the dense forest.
The time was already evening, the daylight had long faded. Outside, people could still clearly see things around them, but upon entering this primordial dense forest, the light instantly dimmed as if it was deep night.
The trees were too tall; they soared into the sky, supporting huge canopies at the top. These green canopies were like clusters of dark clouds, blocking out the sunlight, making this place forever devoid of sunshine.
"Aoouu..."
As they walked on the ground covered with fallen leaves, from far ahead in the dark depths, came the roaring of an unknown ferocious beast.
In such dark, silent conditions, the sudden frightening roar naturally caused some unease. However, everyone was an elite from Sky Net, so there was not much reaction.
Under the leadership of Long Qie, they moved through the dense forest silently and swiftly like agile cheetahs of the forest, fierce yet noiseless.
After about half an hour, the sky completely darkened, and night fell, making the dense forest even darker and more oppressive.
Everyone felt as if some unnamed creatures in the dark had opened their eyes wide, coldly observing them.
"Alright."
After reaching a clearing in the forest, Long Qie stopped and said, "We’ve been walking for so long, let’s rest here for now and continue in the morning."
"Yes."
Everyone accepted the command.
Immediately, everyone sprang into action. Some went to look for water, others started a fire, and some went to scout the perimeter of the area.
The division of labor was very clear.
It wasn’t long before a fire was lit. Apart from a few who were on guard outside, everyone else gathered around the fire, each taking out their dry food to eat.
Meanwhile, deep in Gourd Mouth.
A person in black walked up to Hozon, bowed, and said, "Sect Leader, they have arrived."
"Who is leading them?"
Hozon asked.
The person in black said, "The leader is the great general of Sky Net, Long Qie!"
"Oh?"
Hozon laughed. "It’s him indeed. If the leader were Xiao Zheng, I might have been a bit wary, but this Long Qie is nothing but a rash fool. Watch how I play him to death!"
A venomous, sinister light flashed in Hozon’s eyes.
"Are the men ready?" Hozon then asked.
"They are ready," the person in black replied.
Hozon nodded and said coldly, "Very good. Order them to split our elite into ten groups, ten men each, to launch an attack. However, do not engage in prolonged combat,
Now is when Long Qie and his men are at their peak in morale and strength. Focus on surprise and harassment."
"Yes."
The person in black immediately took the order and left.
"Long Qie, oh Long Qie, heh heh, under Xiao Zheng, you would be the sharpest blade, feared by all," Hozon watched the darkness ahead, his eyes flickering coldly, "But you are too reckless without the hand that wields the blade. Even the sharpest of blades poses no threat!"
...
In the dense forest.
Long Qie and his men were speaking and laughing loudly, and the atmosphere was very lively. Within Sky Net, everyone had combated together like brothers, rather than having a mere superior-subordinate relationship, and were very close.
However, during this lively atmosphere, a sudden, urgent yet very brief shout came from outside, flashing by unnoticed. Everyone did not pay attention, but Long Qie instantly reacted.
His expression changed. His years of battle-honed instinct made him react immediately, and without thinking, he grabbed his battle-axe and roared:
"Enemy attack!"
Boom!
Accompanied by Long Qie’s roar, a thunderous rumble like that of thunder came from the depths of the forest, and the ground shook slightly.
With the help of the firelight, everyone saw that within the vast and monstrous darkness, suddenly, a terrifying group of cavalry appeared!
Blades and spears were like a forest, gleaming coldly.
