Although Yutian Shenming had the eyesight of an eagle, it was still difficult for him to count the squirming crowd at the foot of the mountain. To count the moving targets, he needed a certain sense of direction. If Yutian Shenming had a sense of direction, he wouldn't have a poor sense of direction.
He stared back and forth, and didn't know how many times he had to count. The group of people had already circled the foot of the mountain, but Yutian Shenming still couldn't get a result. Unscathed In Battle was getting impatient, and asked, "You still haven't finished counting?"
Yutian Shenming looked like he had just been pardoned, and coldly glared at Unscathed In Battle and roared, "Stop yelling, hurry up and finish counting. You've forgotten where you've been with all this noise!"
This reminded Han Family Young Master that this little commander was a rare oversight. He immediately patted Yutian Shenming and said, "Alright, don't force yourself."
The squirming Black Hand Mercenary Group stopped at the foot of the mountain. After finding the path, they began to climb the mountain.
"Wow, is this necessary? Everyone is going up the mountain? "Yutian Shenming exclaimed.
"This mountain is closer to our spawn point, and we have fewer people, so we're more mobile. If we wanted to take the high ground, we would already be at the top of the mountain, and would be surrounded by them." Han Family Young Master said.
"Oh!" Everyone listened, and looked at the movement of the Black Hand Mercenary Group. Sure enough, they weren't climbing freely, but were advancing in a formation, as if they were ready to receive an attack from the top of the mountain.
"Our forces won't split up! This is the first habit our opponents have developed during the mercenary competition. "Han Family Young Master laughed coldly.
The Black Hand Mercenary Group were halfway up the mountain, and after a few more steps, the archers at the front of the formation suddenly started shooting.
"What are they doing!" Yutian Shenming was shocked.
The Han Family Young Master smiled faintly again. "This is the second habit they've developed. They're wary of the instant kill ability of us sorcerers in the formation. So, you see, when a team was advancing, the Warrior should be the meat shield at the outermost edge of the team, protecting vulnerable ranged classes such as Archers or Mages. If they were ambushed, they would immediately die. But now, we felt that our Mages could instantly kill everything in our formation, and that our Warriors wouldn't be able to protect us either. So, we decided to send our Archers to the outermost perimeter and rely on our advantage of distance to take the initiative. That place wasn't within the range of a mage's spell, right? They shot first and didn't give you a chance to show yourself! "Han Family Young Master said and turned to look at Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, my area-of-effect spells might not be able to insta-kill a Warrior right now. Using a Warrior to attract the firepower is more correct."
"You're a freak. Your Dual Flame Flash is the most powerful, while your other spells are weaker!" Yutian Shenming looked down on him. If he was a Mage and saw Gu Fei like this, he would inevitably think, "If Dual Flame Flash is so powerful, then your other spells must be even more powerful."
Gu Fei shrugged his shoulders, "Dual Flame Flash has a physical attack, and it's more practical!"
Yutian Shenming spat out a mouthful of blood. In the eyes of all Mages, Dual Flame Flash was the most useful skill when used by Gu Fei. Moreover, it was a physical attack. Damn it, if it wasn't for the Dark Flowing Light Sword that dealt both physical and magic damage, what kind of physical attack would there be?
Han Family Young Master laughed, "I just hope that they will have this kind of exaggerated thought process."
The Black Hand Mercenary Group had already successfully occupied the top of the mountain under the continuous attacks of the Archers. A large group of people had been so careful and put in so much effort. They had even used the same energy as when they attacked the Wolf Ivory Mountain's Five Warriors. In the end, they discovered that the top of the mountain was empty and couldn't help but feel disappointed. If they knew that their actions had been judged as a joke by the six people in the small forest not far from the foot of the mountain, then they would have spat out even more blood.
After the Black Hand Mercenary Group settled down at the top of the mountain, they began to look around.
"It's going to be hard for them next." Han Family Young Master said, "We can't give up the view of the mountain, but they will have to send people to find us. This way, it's inevitable that they will split into two groups. Whichever group has fewer people will be an opportunity for us to take advantage of. In this way, splitting into two groups seems to be the most effective and safe plan. "
As Han Family Young Master spoke, the people at the top of the mountain had already begun to move. Although they couldn't accurately count the number of people, they could roughly estimate the number. Just like what Han Family Young Master said, almost everyone had rushed down the mountain.
"Hahahaha, you guessed wrong! They've all gone down the mountain. " Just as everyone was laughing at them, they heard Han Family Young Master sigh and say unhurriedly, "This is the third habit that they have developed. Although there are only six of us, no one knows exactly how much energy the six of us have. Can we fight against ten people? Twenty? Thirty? Or even more? Therefore, when they have to split into two groups, they won't use the method that seems safe but is actually risky. They will sacrifice the rook to protect the general, leaving two or three people at the high point to enjoy the scenery, while the others continue to concentrate on searching. In this way, even if the people at the top of the mountain were to be ambushed, they would only lose two or three points and have a chance to turn the situation around. "
"Since they guessed that we might ambush these two or three people, what if they set up an ambush there?" Yutian Shenming said.
"That's a good question. Therefore, we are now lying in the forest. Do you think they set up an ambush at the top of the mountain?" Han Family Young Master said.
Yutian Shenming was suddenly speechless. The other party rushed to the top of the mountain and dispersed not long after. Moreover, as they were neatly piled up and went down the mountain together, they didn't see any private activities. It indeed didn't look like they were going to set up an ambush.
"Now their main target must be the forest where they can't see the blind spots from the high point. Our forest is the closest, I'm afraid they'll be here soon, right?" Brother You shouted.
Han Family Young Master nodded.
"Up the tree?" Unscathed In Battle asked doubtfully. The previous battle in the forest to annihilate the Waterflower Mercenary Group could be said to be daunting but not dangerous. Moreover, after everyone analyzed and recalled, they felt that in that environment, Gu Fei was actually the only one who could use Blink to maintain his position and then use area of effect spells to ambush the people at the bottom of the tree. It seemed like the other party was completely helpless.
"No, the method from that day can't be used today. That requires the perfect terrain conditions. Today's forest isn't good enough to hide people. "Han Family Young Master said.
Indeed, the forest they were in was small to begin with, and the trees were not luxuriant enough. They could still be used as cover from a distance, but if they were to really get under the trees and look up, they would definitely not be able to hide anyone in the trees.
"Retreat quickly, we'll be discovered if we move any closer." The people at the top of the mountain were already halfway down. Han Family Young Master shouted and took the lead to move. "This way."
"If we leave the forest like this, won't we be discovered by the eyes at the top of the mountain?" Brother You was always very worried.
Han Family Young Master smiled and didn't answer. Everyone was already used to his arrogant manner of keeping people in suspense. Anyway, they knew that the arrangements he made under this appearance would eventually be daunting but not dangerous, so they didn't ask anymore and followed behind him through the forest. The view from the top of the mountain was still blocked by the forest for the time being. The young master of the Han family led the way and took a small detour around the forest. Suddenly, a half-tall broken wall appeared in front of them. The young master of the Han family crouched behind the wall and waved at them.
The few of them squatted down in surprise and followed him. This cover naturally blocked the view from the top of the mountain. Unscathed In Battle was stunned. "Did you draw this map?"
"Don't talk first." Han Family Young Master led the way in front. This wall was actually quite long. Due to the different degrees of damage, some places could be walked straight, some places needed to squat down, and some even needed to lie down. In short, everyone followed behind Han Family Young Master and walked in the appropriate places using the proper posture. The terrain in front of them suddenly became lower. Han Family Young Master turned around and said, "Move faster!" After saying that, he dodged and crawled down into the depression.
The posture of the few people behind them didn't show any beauty. When it was Gu Fei's turn and Sword Demon's turn, one used teleportation and dodged down, while the other used stealth and swaggered down. They looked at the four of them and smiled foolishly.
The four of them didn't have any temper. Unscathed In Battle raised his previous doubt again. "Did you draw this map?" Although he knew it was impossible, how did Han Family Young Master know that there was a wall that could block the view from the top of the mountain, since it was their first time entering this map?
Han Family Young Master said lazily, "Pay attention and observe." That was the answer to Unscathed In Battle's question.
"Where can we go from here?" Brother You immediately started to observe. He first observed the path in front of them.
"We can almost reach the bottom of the mountain. Let's wait for them to go far before we act." Han Family Young Master said.
"You've observed it before?"
"I didn't observe it. I searched for it." Han Family Young Master had a lecturing look on his face again. "I've been paying attention to the height of the mountain and the surrounding terrain since the beginning. That's why I purposely found this path that basically belongs to the blind spot on the top of the mountain."
"I see!" Brother You admired Han Family Young Master's observation skills.
Han Family Young Master was naturally very proud. However, when he looked at the other four, they didn't listen to him at all. Unscathed In Battle and Sword Demon stared blankly. No one knew what they were thinking. On the other side, Gu Fei held the straw hat that Yutian Shenming had just wove in the forest. "You're quite skillful. Who did you learn this from?"
"Heh, it's nothing!" Yutian Shenming was also feeling proud over there!
Han Family Young Master was furious, but he couldn't let it out. He stared at the four of them and said, "Wait for them to finish searching the forest and move further away. We'll sneak attack the top of the mountain."
"Since this is the blind spot on the top of the mountain, they'll probably search here, right?" Brother You said.
"This is a blind spot that only I would notice. They'll definitely ignore this place when they look from the top of the mountain. " As the young master of the Han Family was speaking, his eyes casually glanced over and his anger flared up again. He suddenly roared at Gu Fei, "Qian Li, stand close to the inside, stick close to the side!!!" His perfect plan was almost ruined by this fellow's careless positioning.
"Teleportation, move!" Gu Fei said. He moved closer and continued to speak to Yutian Shenming, "How are these connected?"
"Oh, like this, and then like this …" Yutian Shenming took off the straw hat to demonstrate.
