He had wasted most of a day to carefully come to this place. If he just drew a map and went back to report to his superiors, it would naturally not suit his personality.
However, what Happy did not expect was that Young Yu Yan seemed to have the thought of taking a risk and venturing deep into the enemy's territory. She chose to stay behind without hesitation and continue searching for the supply route.
Xu Jun could only smile wanly in response to Happy and Young Yu Yan's choices. He was not surprised at all, because the duo's strength was indeed above his.
With their skills, they could do a lot of things behind enemy lines. This was especially so for Chen Kai, whom he had neglected. He had noticed that they had to lower the brightness of their clothes to reduce the chances of them being discovered. He had thought of carrying out a mission in the dark, and he had discovered the beast skins used for disguises that everyone had overlooked. Meng Chao did not doubt that Chen Kai would be able to find the supply route and get more points if he followed him.
However, Xu Jun knew very well that with Chen Kai and Young Yu Yan's skills, even if they could not win against the enemy, they could still rely on their skills and equipment to break out of the encirclement. The risk was worth it, but if he stayed, he would just be asking for death.
Once the sun rose, the chances of being discovered were as high as the sun rising tomorrow! The probability of death was the same!
Once he died, his points would return to zero.
He did not dare to take the risk …
That night, the three of them parted ways.
Xu Jun stayed where he was and waited for the map to be completed.
Happy and Young Yu Yan formed a temporary party to take care of each other and continue moving forward.
At that moment, Happy still did not reveal his identity.
It was for no other reason than that he knew that once he revealed his identity, Young Yu Yan would definitely feel a little reliant on him. If that happened, it would go against her original goal, and it would be difficult for her to show her true strength.
However, the two of them did not have a deep understanding of each other. They were only strangers who had exchanged names, and there was still distrust and wariness between them. Naturally, they would unleash their full strength in battle, and it was easy to stimulate a deeper level of potential.
…
On the grassland under the starry sky, two sneaky figures were moving stealthily, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes walking and stopping. The topographic map had already been drawn.
"There's still one last mission left … Where is the rations?"
Young Yu Yan walked in front while mumbling to herself.
Happy, who was right behind her, suddenly tugged at her sleeve.
She was shocked. When she turned her head around, she saw that Happy had already bent down and made a shushing gesture. "Shh!"
Young Yu Yan looked over warily in the direction Happy pointed, but she found nothing.
Under the starlight, that direction was completely empty. There was no one there.
"Look carefully."
Happy did not offer any explanation.
Young Yu Yan noticed something from his solemn and serious expression. She held her breath and focused her attention to scan the area, but she still could not find anything.
Just when she thought Chen Kai was joking, she suddenly noticed two small light spots about 50 meters in front of her.
They appeared very quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
In an instant, Young Yu Yan swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue, because she sensed two pairs of eyes sweeping in her direction. Her body froze, and she felt as if a chill ran through her body.
"Scout?"
"Yes."
Happy nodded and confirmed Young Yu Yan's judgment. He whispered into her ear, "Thank goodness I noticed him just now, or else …"
At this time, the two of them were even closer to the enemy camp and had already entered the rear. When they thought about how the scout had fired the signal flare in the middle of the night and exposed their whereabouts, the patrol team would definitely surround the entire area in a very short time.
When she thought of this, Young Yu Yan could not help but suck in a sharp breath, but she soon calmed down.
"They seem to have discovered us. What do we do now?"
His question sounded as if he was asking his teammate, Chen Kai.
Chen Kai's astonishing observation skills had won a hint of Xu Xin's trust.
There aren't many stars tonight, and we can see very few of them. They can't be certain that we're spies from the Chinese plains, but if we get any closer, we'll definitely be exposed. "
In truth, Happy had used Nine Yang Divine Skill to discover the two hidden sentries. He did not want to be surrounded here, and he had to be together with Young Yu Yan.
It was too embarrassing!
"You have two choices."
Happy narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the hidden sentries not too far away. He lowered his voice and spoke of the plan he had thought of a long time ago.
"You can either circle around the hidden sentries and continue searching for the supply route, or you can act rashly and alert the enemy. It all depends on what your goal is."
"What do you mean?" Young Yu Yan was stunned.
"If your goal is to complete the quest this time and go back once you find the supply route, we can circle around them and continue searching for the supply route. If it's for points, there's still some time before dawn. If we fight at night, we have an advantage, and we can farm points." Happy's calm words caused Young Yu Yan to be slightly shocked.
"Earning points?!"
Once she witnessed the strength of the Mongolian cavaliers, Young Yu Yan was already very cautious and careful. She believed that she could at most fight against a small group of Mongolian cavaliers at the same time, which was around twenty Mongolian cavaliers, and she gave up on the thought of fighting against a large cavalier unit, but she did not expect that the person with normal equipment beside her would have such guts!
However …
Happy's words were not without reason.
It was late at night, and there were few stars in the sky. The visibility was very low.
If it was a martial artist, they could still see everything around them if they focused their qi into their eyes, but it was not the case for the Mongolian cavaliers. They had definitely come out with torches.
If there were too many torches, one, they would reduce the Mongolian cavaliers' fighting strength, and two, they would also divert the Mongolian cavaliers' attention. If there were too few torches, as long as they extinguished the torches …
"When the time comes, will we farm our own points and not interfere with each other, or will we work together?"
Young Yu Yan's answer caused Happy to smile. She agreed to it.
"We'll work together. It'll be very risky if I'm alone, but it'll be much safer if I have someone to take care of me." Naturally, Happy could not let Young Yu Yan leave his field of vision.
Although he had considered everything thoroughly, he would not be able to forgive himself if something unexpected happened and he fell into a dangerous situation.
"Alright!"
Young Yu Yan had no objections.
The two of them hit it off!
…
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Right when the sound of air being pushed rose.
Two black figures swiftly approached them, and they stimulated a few scouts hidden in the darkness. They lifted the beast skins, and a dazzling signal flare instantly jumped into the dark sky.
The light from the signal flare was so dazzling that it illuminated a circular area of several miles. It could be seen clearly within a circular area of dozens of miles.
…
"This is bad!"
Xu Jun had already finished drawing the map, and he sensed the strange red light in front of him. He shuddered, and when he looked up, he saw the signal flare that illuminated the night sky.
"They've been discovered?!"
The duo's faces flashed in his mind, and a myriad of emotions appeared on Xu Jun's face.
But soon, he noticed that the situation was bad. Perhaps the duo's exposure will affect him, and Xu Jun did not dare to be negligent. He quickly summoned his steed, jumped on it, and charged into the night at lightning speed.
…
At the spot where the signal flare was fired, the corpses of the three scouts had already fallen near the hole. Happy and Young Yu Yan had solemn gazes. They could already sense the thunderous galloping sounds in the distance on the quiet plains.
