Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious in every battle. Spying for intelligence was one of the most important tasks in this survival battle. Given the different alliances, each camp's methods of spying were different. In general, it was necessary to combine the overall advantages of each camp to maximize the benefits of spying.
No. 60 High's Fire Peak camp, represented by South Sea Sky High, practically had a natural advantage when it came to spying. Nan Yixiu was an expert in the study of perception, and he knew how to use the power of nature, which made him especially handy in this natural survival battle.
As they approached Mist Peak's territory, Nan Yixiu, Wang Zhen, Super Chen and Four Eyes hid somewhere behind him. The wild pheasant they had caught on the way here could play a crucial role at a time like this.
"Mind Assimilation Spell!" At that moment, Nan Yixiu cast a spell and aimed his eyes at the pheasant's eyes.
"What's this?" Super Chen was puzzled.
"This is Senior Brother Nan's best move. This spell can assimilate minds and control a living being's brainwaves. It can assimilate a living being's brainwaves. In the end, it can share sight, hearing and smell. Now, this pheasant's brain is completely connected to Senior Brother Nan's, "Four Eyes said as he pushed up his glasses.
"I see." Super Chen nodded. He finally understood why Nan Yixiu had caught the pheasant on the way here; it wasn't to eat it.
But why a pheasant?
Super Chen was still puzzled.
"Pheasants are the least likely to be noticed. Most insects have very special vision, and it's not easy for them to detect enemies. High-level creatures are too big, which makes them difficult to capture and control, "Four Eyes answered.
So to sum up, pheasants were indeed the most ideal target for assimilation in the current environment. Furthermore, wild pheasants that lived on Nine Dragon Mountain weren't ordinary chickens; they had spirit qi on them and had excellent eyesight, which was almost as good as a hawk's, and could see very far away.
At that moment, Nan Yixiu was controlling the pheasant. He threw it onto a branch and gazed into the distance.
However, an unexpected scene occurred. A sharp arrow pierced through the clouds above the peak of Mist Peak and directly pierced through the pheasant! The pheasant had only just climbed up the tree when it was killed by an arrow on the spot, turning into a pile of minced meat.
Nan Yixiu had no time to react to such a horrifying scene, and his assimilation was interrupted. His face was deathly pale, and he was drenched in sweat. This was the aftereffect of the assimilation. Under normal circumstances, Nan Yixiu would directly interrupt the assimilation before he knew there was danger. However, it had happened too suddenly, and the pain of the pheasant's death was transmitted to Nan Yixiu's mind, causing him to be unable to withstand it for a moment.
"Their reactions are a bit fast." Super Chen was also horrified at this scene. Less than ten seconds after the pheasant was sent up, an arrow had been shot from a distance and accurately killed the pheasant.
Super Chen observed the arrow. It was a simple, homemade wooden arrowhead with some deadly poison on it. If it hit someone, the golden talisman would immediately judge them dead, and a golden barrier would erupt.
However, this should not be the power of the Foundation Establishment stage.
One had to know that they were still at least five miles away from Mist Peak!
In a situation where they didn't have a magic weapon like a bow and arrow, it was almost impossible to rely on a homemade bow and wooden arrow to accurately cross mountains, seas, and a sea of people to reach this place!
"Terrain advantage," Wang Zhen said at that moment.
As soon as he said this, Super Chen immediately reacted. "So it's the terrain!"
If the terrain advantage was taken into account, it was indeed possible to shoot from such a long distance!
Mist Peak was the most difficult peak to reach. A formless airflow would be generated from the top of the mountain, blowing away all living beings that attempted to fly over the mountain in all directions. It wouldn't be difficult to shoot from a long distance by taking advantage of the special wind pressure on the terrain and archery skills. On the contrary, the wind pressure on the mountaintop was the least after reaching the top.
At that moment, Nan Yixiu recovered from his panic. What had happened just now had been too sudden, and he hadn't been able to recover for a moment.
But he was already doing his best to adjust. "Gao Tianming chose Mist Peak, which is easy to defend and hard to attack, and has a natural advantage. But the problem is that they can't stay on the mountaintop all the time … They also have to send out supply teams to gather resources. We can ambush them. "
But as soon as Nan Yixiu said this, Super Chen noticed something new.
On Mist Peak, Super Chen noticed that someone was actually releasing something that looked like kites. These kites flew in all directions due to the air pressure on the mountaintop, and a flat puppet with a bamboo basket on its back was tied to each of them. The puppet opened its mouth, and a long thin tube extended out to spit out a silk thread with a long hook attached to it.
"He's actually taking advantage of the terrain … using fishing to gather the spirit fruits and plants around us …" Looking at this scene, Nan Yixiu was deeply shocked on the spot. He had already known that Gao Tianming would be difficult to deal with, but he hadn't expected the other party to actually go this far. If he could even use puppets to gather resources, then the people from their camp could stay on the mountain and be completely self-sufficient! They didn't need to send people down the mountain to look for resources at all!
Super Chen had thought that No. 60 High's defense was already impregnable, but he had never expected to run into someone who was even worse off than them.
"What should we do?" Four Eyes broke out in cold sweat as they also felt despair. This feeling of helplessness wasn't common, but judging from the usual interactions between South Sea Sky High and No. 1 Devil-Subduing High, this was clearly the trickiest. Gao Tianming had accumulated a wealth of experience in previous battles, and was also constantly learning and growing. Now, he had finally reached a jaw-dropping level in terms of tactical arrangements.
Nan Yixiu gritted his teeth a little unwillingly. Just like No. 60 High and No. 59 High were enemies, South Sea Sky High and No. 1 Devil-Subduing High also had deep grudges against each other. This was already Nan Yixiu's third confrontation with Gao Tianming since he had met him. The first two had ended in a draw, but this time … Nan Yixiu felt that he was clearly at a disadvantage.
"Let's change positions first. I'm afraid they've already discovered us." Nan Yixiu frowned. These kite puppets, which had been released from the mountaintop to gather resources, could also monitor their surroundings. Nan Yixiu wasn't sure whether or not Gao Tianming had discovered them, but based on that snip just now, their position had definitely been exposed.
"Did they bring these kite puppets in?" Wang Zhen asked.
"I'm sure they did. This kind of puppet with such a long hook … it would take a few days to make one, "Nan Yixiu said with a nod.
"How about this: I'll use my body to lure them, and you guys think of a way to cut their lines. We'll deal with as many as we can, "Wang Zhen suddenly said at that moment.
"You're going to lure them?" The other three were horrified.
Wang Zhen smiled helplessly. "Don't worry, don't look at me like this. I grew up with them, and they're very sturdy … "
