The Spear Soul was really helpless. Although he didn't believe that the horses went crazy because they accidentally ate a plant that could make them go crazy, the fact was that it was an accident. However, the Spear Soul's intuition told him that this wasn't an accident.
Looking at the roots in the hands of the five plant masters, the Spear Soul couldn't help but want to kill them. In his opinion, these five plant masters were trash. They couldn't even deal with a single plant master. Moreover, they even made him lose half of his men. This was what made the Spear Soul angry.
However, he couldn't do this. The five plant masters didn't make any obvious mistakes. Moreover, they were in the territory of the Saber Spirit Country. If he were to kill them, then their strength would be even weaker.
Forcing himself to throw the roots at the plant masters, the Spear Soul took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's put them away. Let's go back and do some experiments. If the experiment is successful, then it will be of great help to us. Arrange ten people to keep watch while the others rest." The Spear Soul nodded and then went to rest.
But the Soul of the Spear didn't rest. He stood on the Rockwind Mound and looked around at the darkness. He murmured, "I know you're here. You've been following us. This must be your doing. Humph, I won't let you succeed. I won't." No one knew whether he was cheering himself up or something else.
At this moment, Little Crane Grass and the others were sleeping very well. Although they didn't have a tent, they still slept very comfortably on the grass nest. The grass was all over the ground, forming a thick layer. It was very comfortable to lie on top of it.
The next morning, after Little Crane Grass woke up, they went to find some food. This time, they mainly ate wild fruits or some other edible things. Of course, if they ate these things, the taste wouldn't be good, but they had to eat. This was because they knew that if they didn't eat these things, then they wouldn't be able to eat anything else.
Although Little Crane Grass still had a few pancakes, everyone knew that those pancakes were used for emergencies. Although the pancakes that Little Crane Grass found weren't delicious, it wasn't a big deal for them.
After eating, Liu Yuangong looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, look at what those guys are doing. Isn't it time for us to take action? "
Little Crane Grass nodded and closed his eyes. He observed those people through the Iron Thread Grass. He found that the Soul Spear and the others were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they stayed at the Rockwind Mound. It seemed like they were waiting for someone.
Little Crane Grass turned to Liu Yuangong and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Liu, they seem to be waiting for someone, or maybe they are waiting for reinforcements? What should we do? "
Liu Yuangong frowned and thought for a moment before he said, "Crane Grass, they won't be able to move for a while. Do you think we can go around them? If we can't get reinforcements in time, then we can find a way to stop them. What do you think?"
When Little Crane Grass heard Liu Yuangong, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Alright, I can take everyone around the Rockwind Mound. We won't be discovered by the Plant Masters and the Soul Spear. Shall we go now?"
Liu Yuangong nodded. He looked around and saw that there were small hills all around. There were small hills everywhere. Moreover, there were more rocks than plants on these hills. It can be said that such a place was very unfavorable for Plant Masters to fight.
Liu Yuangong looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Let's go now. If we can get ahead of them, then it'll be very important for us. Let's go." Little Crane Grass nodded. Then he led the group to the hills on the side. They went around the hills and arrived at the other side before they continued to move forward.
Although they were moving forward, Little Crane Grass was very careful. He was always paying attention to the other party's movements. The other party didn't seem to have any intention of moving. After all, there were five carriages. Without horses, even if they were all Professionals, they wouldn't be able to push them very far.
Little Crane Grass and the others took a detour for a few dozen kilometers. They completely bypassed the Rockwind Mound and arrived in front of the other party. They didn't get too close to the other party, they were still ten kilometers away from the other party. Then they found a place to hide.
The reason why Little Crane Grass and the others had to hide was that the enemy they were going to face wasn't just the Spear Soul's group. Now that the Spear Soul's group of fifty people didn't move forward, but waited there, it meant that they would definitely have reinforcements, and their reinforcements would probably come from the Misty Mountain City. If that was the case, then if Little Crane Grass and the others didn't hide, they would probably be discovered by the enemy.
After hiding behind a hill and resting, Little Crane Grass and the others finally let out a sigh of relief. They hid on the ground and looked at the sky. There weren't any animals in the sky. Before, they suspected that there might be an eagle monitoring them. But now, it seems like there weren't any. This made them feel a little strange.
Little Crane Grass looked at the sky strangely and said to Liu Yuangong, "Uncle Liu, we suspected that the other party might have an eagle monitoring us from the sky. Why can't we see it now? Moreover, from the other party's reaction, it seems like they really don't know about our actions. What's going on? Could it be that they took back their eagle? "
When Liu Yuangong heard Little Crane Grass, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Crane Grass, it seems like you didn't pay attention to the battle at the intersection. In that battle, we lost a brother. Do you know what that brother did? He perished together with an Eagle Soul Warrior. That Eagle Soul Warrior's Fei Ying died with them. "
When Little Crane Grass heard Liu Yuangong, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he said, "So that brother found out that the other party's eagle was too big of a threat to us. So he perished together with that person?"
Liu Yuangong sighed and said, "Brother Guan Fei did indeed do so. At that time, he suffered a serious injury and his fighting strength was less than 40%. At that time, he chose to perish together with the person who could pose the greatest threat to us. This would pave the way for our next action. He succeeded. Little Crane Grass, this is war. Sometimes, some people must be sacrificed. Sometimes, some people will choose to be sacrificed."
Little Crane Grass didn't speak anymore. He knew that Liu Yuangong's statement was a bit far-fetched. A battle like theirs couldn't be called a war at all. It could only be regarded as a battle. However, such a battle was so cruel. If it was a large-scale war, what would happen in the end? Little Crane Grass didn't dare to imagine it.
Liu Yuangong couldn't hear Little Crane Grass's words. He also didn't say anything. He had already seen that Little Crane Grass was indeed here for the trial. Although he was very calm when dealing with matters, sometimes he was too idealistic. He always wanted to use the smallest price to exchange for the greatest results. This was understandable, but there weren't many people who could do it.
Whether it was a large-scale war or a small-scale war, the essence was the same. There was no good mouth for cursing and no good for fighting. This sentence had already explained the essence of war.
While everyone was silent, a bird's cry suddenly came from the sky. This bird's cry was very clear, but there was nothing special about it. When Wu Fei heard this bird's cry, he jumped up and imitated a few bird's cries. The sound was really vivid.
As for the little bird in the sky, as soon as it heard the bird's cry, it descended from its horse. When little crane grass saw the process of the bird descending, it was shocked because the speed of the bird's descent was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already landed on Wu Fei's shoulder.
This was a grey bird. It didn't look like a smart bird. However, this bird had big wings, sharp claws, and a small hook on its beak. It turned out to be a carnivorous bird.
There was a bamboo tube tied to the bird's leg. Inside the bamboo tube was a small slip of paper. Wu Fei had already taken out the slip of paper. There were some strange words written on it. Little Crane Grass looked at it but didn't understand what it meant.
However, Wu Fei and the others understood it because it was a code. After Wu Fei read the contents of the note, he turned to Liu Yuangong and said, "Captain, it's good to know that someone from our hometown is coming. In two days, they will arrive at the main road a hundred li outside of Fog Mountain City. What should we do next?"
Liu Yuangong's eyes lit up as he said, "Let's not care about where the people from our hometown are. What we need to do is to delay them and make them as far away from Fog Mountain City as possible. Give them a message and tell them to stay in contact with us for the next two days. Tell them to be prepared to adjust their position at any time."
Wu Fei responded and took out a small piece of paper from his body. He also took out a small piece of black charcoal-like substance and wrote a few words on the paper. Then, he rolled the paper up and placed it in the small bamboo tube. He tied it to the bird's leg and took out a small bag from his pocket. He took out a handful of black millet-like substance and fed it to the bird.
Little Crane Grass originally thought that the little bird was a carnivore, but it didn't expect that it seemed to like these millets very much. It opened its mouth and ate all the millets in Wu Fei's bowl clean. Then, it flapped its wings and turned around to fly away.
Seeing the bird fly away, Liu Yuangong turned to Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, the next step is up to you. Those people must be waiting for reinforcements. Their reinforcements might come from Fog Mountain City. If their reinforcements really come from that direction, then we need to delay them. Don't let their reinforcements meet up with those people. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble."
Little Crane Grass nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's not difficult to delay them for two days, but Uncle Liu, I think it's better to let them meet up. Otherwise, if our reinforcements come, we might face a situation where we're surrounded by enemies. That's not good."
