The night had just begun. The mountain wind rustled through the forest, as if someone was lying in ambush in the dark forest, waiting to hunt.
The leader of the disguise team stood next to the body of his teammate, observing the death calmly. There was no trace of pain or sorrow on his face, as if his blood was cold.
In fact, it had only been a week since the formation of the disguise team. They had not entered the forest for the past week to hone their tacit understanding of each other. However, they did not have much friendship in private, and they even belonged to a few different organizations. So … death was not a big deal.
The leader of the disguise team squatted down to examine the corpse. Dead people could talk, and he could tell that Lv Shu's explosive strength was close to that of a B-grade. Furthermore, Lv Shu's control over his muscles was unbelievably precise. The footprints on the ground were not messy, which meant that Lv Shu had a complete and effective way of exerting his strength.
This opponent was not simple. They had overestimated Lü Shu's strength when they saw Lü Shu's body next to the campfire. Now, some of the details that the opponent showed in that instant made everyone in the disguise team fall into deep thought.
The leader of the disguise team suddenly said, "It's confirmed that the opponent is B-class, or even mid-class. Be careful and don't split up … Let's start hunting!"
There was a hint of excitement in the leader's expression. Everyone in their team was known as a war machine before the revival of spirit energy. It was just that they could not go all out in that era of peace.
Now that the revival of spirit energy was the best time for them, killing the strongest opponents in the field that they were best at was the happiest thing in the world.
One of the team members bent down and cut off the right ear of the body, then smiled and said, "This is my merit. I won't fight with you guys for that young man's."
The team member's expression was normal, as if he did not think that it was a big deal. Since his teammate was dead, he would let him play some role.
The leader looked at him coldly. "You're quite quick to get merit. If you die, I'll cut off your right ear too."
The team member chuckled. "Then we'll talk about it after I die."
From the beginning to the end, no one in the team thought that it was a big deal to cut off the right ear of their teammate. After all, that ear was worth one spirit stone. One spirit stone was the value of a life in war, or even less.
Of course, if he killed an important figure in the Tengra Earth Net, he would have to bring his head back.
Especially Tengra.
…
The disguise team followed the tracks left behind by Lü Shu. They were very fast, and there were people who specialized in tracking and locating the tracks.
The man suddenly squatted on the ground and picked up a bag. He nodded at the captain and said, "There's no mistake. This is the bag that was just torn. There's no dust on it."
"Keep chasing," the captain said calmly.
However, the captain was a little puzzled. Why didn't the youth escape to the west where Tengra's Earth Net's camp was located, but … to the north?
Were they not planning to return to the camp under such circumstances? Were they not afraid of dying in Changbai Mountain?
"Where will he go next?" the captain asked.
"After crossing the ridge in front, there should be a tributary river valley. If he continues to move in this direction … his speed seems to be a little slower. If we move at full speed, we should be able to catch him at the second white river!" The scout in charge of the reconnaissance team analyzed.
At this time, the captain was thinking about a problem. This place was not far from Tian Chi, but there was a problem. The vegetation on Tian Chi Mountain was becoming sparse, and it was not suitable for hiding. Why would the youth run in that direction? It was unlikely that there was an ambush by Tengra's Earth Net there. As far as the captain knew, four days ago, two B-class experts from the Faith Theory Department and Order of the Phoenix had set off in that direction.
From the looks of it, everyone should have missed each other. According to the time and progress of the Faith Theory Department, they should have crossed the Sky Lake and continued westward. In other words, the two sides had crossed each other's paths. It was just that their time wasn't the same.
Although it was impossible to get the experts from the Faith Theory Department and Order of the Phoenix to intercept this youth, one thing was reassuring. There would not be anyone from Tengra's Earth Net hiding there.
The disguise team continued to follow the clues that Lü Shu had inadvertently left behind. In this forest, some clues could be erased, but some could not.
When a person quickly passed through the forest, the low shrubs would always have their leaves or branches broken. Even if one could erase the footprints, the newly broken leaves and branches could not be reconnected.
In the eyes of the tracker, Lü Shu's combat experience in the forest was too immature. His ability to deal with clues was too elementary. It seemed that he had not realized what would expose his whereabouts.
The tracker sneered. He had lived in the forest since he was a child. With his experience, it was impossible for him to lose track of such a novice in jungle warfare.
However, just as he continued to follow the clues, a black shadow suddenly fell from the tree with murderous intent!
By the time the tracker noticed the sudden change in the light above his head, it was already too late!
Lü Shu was still unarmed. The tracker wanted to bend down and dodge. Even if he could not dodge, the human back had always been the most load-bearing part.
However, that thunderous punch smashed into his spine, and the people at the back of the team all heard the sound of his bones shattering. With a kacha, Lv Shu had actually smashed the spine of a C-class expert into two with a single punch!
The tracker seemed to have lost all his support and fell into the rotten leaves and mud. He knew that he had been careless. The other party was not a novice!
In truth, it was true that Lü Shu did not know how to deal with traces. However, he had used the stupidest method. He had run forward at full speed for a while before jumping onto a branch and turning back. The distance between trees was not an obstacle for him at all.
The tracker thought that the distance between them was not too far. That was why he had judged that Lü Shu did not have the time to set up such a complicated ambush. However, Lü Shu had not run at full speed from the start. Their so-called overestimation that Lü Shu might be a B-level mid-tier expert was, in fact, still an underestimation for Lü Shu!
However, Lü Shu suddenly felt that something was wrong. Where had the opponent's B-level expert gone?
In an instant, the entire ground where Lü Shu was standing suddenly turned into sand, sinking downwards like quicksand in a desert. The opponent's team leader had actually used his earth awakened ability to hide in the mountain's soil and attack Lü Shu. He wanted to swallow Lü Shu whole in the quicksand.
The soldier in the disguise team who had his spine broken was still struggling at death's door. He knew that he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. However, at this moment, he discovered that his teammate was actually going to swallow him along with the quicksand.
Life was so fragile in war, and trust was not even worth mentioning.
The quicksand spun rapidly like a millstone. As long as Lü Shu fell into it, he would be quickly ground to dust. As an earth awakened ability user, he could stay in an invincible position underground with peace of mind! A B-level earth awakened ability user!
However, he had miscalculated. The moment Lü Shu smashed the target's spine, he had already started to leave. He did not stay in the same spot at all!
In the process of leaving, Lü Shu had even exchanged two blows with two of his team members who had surrounded him in time before he left calmly. The opponent had come in and killed people as if there was no one around.
But … since the opponent was so strong, why did he run from the start?
The team leader suddenly had a bad feeling. Was the opponent bluffing at this moment, or did the opponent have a more ruthless plan from the start?!
