"Are you sure it's this location?" Su Zhixing asked Wang Yao. In fact, during the night, they had basically lost track of those people. Wang Yao had been leading the way the entire time.
"I can only speculate that it's probably this location," Su Zhixing said. The basis of his judgment was very simple. It was the residual smell in the air. It was a special smell that came from the strangers. It was the smell of medicinal herbs. The strangers had applied a special medicine to their bodies to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes and venomous animals.
"If we haven't found any trace of them before dark, we'll retreat immediately," Su Zhixing said. It was not his decision. It was an order from above.
"Understood!"
After resting for an hour, they continued on their way. After about half an hour, Wang Yao suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
"What's wrong?"
Su Zhixing asked. "There's no need to chase," Wang Yao said. "We can't catch up."
"Why?" Su Zhixing asked.
"It's going to rain!" He pointed to the sky.
In less than 20 minutes, it began to rain.
Rain could nourish all things. It could also clean up and destroy many things, such as residual smells and footprints.
The wind and rain had completely washed away the smell left in the air. They had lost the last clue. How could they find them in the huge jungle? They couldn't just rely on guessing.
Time passed slowly, but the rain did not stop.
They still had no clues.
"We can't find them," Wang Yao said.
"Hmm." Su Zhixing thought for a while and communicated with the headquarters.
"Rest and wait for a reply."
Although there were dense trees above their heads to block the rain, it was inevitable that it would fall on their bodies. There was almost no dry place on their bodies. It was very uncomfortable to be wet. Of course, there was an exception. Wang Yao's body was very dry. The aura he released formed an invisible protective film around his body, isolating him from the rain falling from the sky.
"Excuse me." Meng Wushuang came to Wang Yao's side.
"What's the matter?"
"Why aren't your clothes wet at all?" he asked curiously.
"Well, my clothes are specially made," Wang Yao joked. "They're made of waterproof material."
"What?" Meng Wushuang looked up at Su Zhixing, who was nearby.
"Captain, why didn't you give us such equipment?"
"He's lying to you," Su Zhixing said. "The clothes he's wearing are exactly the same as ours."
"Then why?"
"Release your neixi," Wang Yao said.
"What? The release of internal breath to communicate with heaven and earth?!" Meng Wushuang quivered.
"Something like that."
"How is this possible?"
"Why not?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"That is the legendary Xiantian Realm."
"Innate Stage and Acquired Stage are not as magical as you think," Wang Yao said calmly.
"I heard from my master that no one has reached that level in the past fifty years."
Fifty years? Really? Wang Yao was also very curious. Who was the last person to reach this level fifty years ago?
"Excuse me, is what you just said true?"
"Why? Do you have any questions?"
"Do those things in wuxia novels and movies really exist?"
"Don't Shaolin and Wudang Sect exist?" Meng Wushuang asked.
While they were talking, a message was sent from the headquarters.
"OK, we can retreat!"
"Retreat."
When they came to the jungle, they didn't see any living enemies. They only saw a few corpses and experienced more than a dozen traps. One soldier was slightly injured. It was scary but not dangerous.
"So, should we retreat?"
"Yes, when we arrive at the designated place, a helicopter will come to pick us up," Su Zhixing said.
They quickly rushed to the designated helicopter landing site.
"Wait." Wang Yao suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Su Zhixing asked. "Someone is following us," Su Zhixing said without looking back.
"What?"
The team quickly found a hidden place to hide and waited quietly.
"Are you sure?"
Su Zhixing asked. "There is a strange smell in the wind blowing from behind us," Wang Yao said.
"Smell?" Su Zhixing was stunned. "Did you analyze it by smell?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"How far do you think he is from us now?"
Su Zhixing asked. "Dozens of feet or 100 feet away, I'm not sure," Wang Yao said.
"You can smell from 100 feet away?" Su Zhixing asked.
"It's the wind," Wang Yao said.
"Well …"
"Wait a minute, I'll go and take a look."
After that, Wang Yao disappeared in an instant. When Su Zhixing looked at him again, he was more than 30 feet away.
"Damn, he's too fast!" He wouldn't have believed that someone could be so fast if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Wang Yao didn't go directly in the direction where the sound had come from. Instead, he went around and blocked him from behind.
"I stopped. Have we been discovered?"
It was still raining. A man was crouching on a tree trunk. He now knew that all his companions had been killed, but he didn't know who they were. He was sure it was not the team in front of him. He wanted to follow the team to find the other group of people and see who they were so he could go back and explain. Of course, it would be very dangerous.
Retreat!
He suddenly felt very uneasy. He decisively chose to come down from the tree and retreat in the direction he had come from.
I've found you!
If he didn't move, he would be fine. If he moved, he would inevitably make some noise. Although the noise was very small, it was heard by someone with keen hearing.
Someone is nearby!
The man who had come down from the tree also heard the footsteps and raised his gun.
Where is he?
He crouched quietly in the grass and listened to the footsteps.
"No more?"
"Why aren't you moving?" Wang Yao also stopped. "It was in that direction just now."
He crouched down, picked up a few stones from the ground, and threw them in that direction.
There was a whooshing sound.
"What's that sound?"
There was a thump.
Hmm!
Coincidentally, a stone bounced after hitting the tree and hit the man crouching in the grass. The force was not small. He resisted the urge to cry out.
"There!"
Wang Yao moved in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out.
He didn't reach.
"Here!" A voice came from behind like a ghost.
"Not good!"
He dodged to the side and then turned around to shoot. His movements were fast and smooth, but he realized that there was no one behind him. Then, with the intense pain in his abdomen, he flew backward and crashed heavily into a tree trunk. When he wanted to stand up again, his vision suddenly turned black and he fainted.
"Where is this person?"
Su Zhixing chased in this direction with two other soldiers.
"This brother-in-law is too willful!"
"Captain, he's coming!" One of the soldiers raised his hand and looked in the direction he was pointing. They saw a man quickly coming in this direction. He seemed to be carrying a person in his hand.
In just a few breaths, the man came in front of them. He was extremely fast. There was a person in his hand who had fainted. He carried him as easily as carrying a chicken.
"Damn, there is really a person!" Su Zhixing was very surprised to see this.
"Shall we take this back?"
"Wait, let me take a look first." Su Zhixing looked at the man who had fainted. There was a tattoo on his neck. It was a coiled snake.
"It's that foreign team," Su Zhixing said. "Their people all have such tattoos. It's either a snake or a poisonous centipede."
"You've done a great job!" Su Zhixing patted Wang Yao on the shoulder. Although they had fought with this armed invasion group several times, they had never caught anyone alive. They were very ruthless, both to their enemies and to themselves. Once they found that there was a possibility of being captured, they would die together. Therefore, they did not take any prisoners.
They successfully arrived at the pre-arranged location. After waiting for a while, the sound of a helicopter came from the distance. An armed transport helicopter appeared on the horizon and quickly approached.
"Did the mission go well?"
"Not bad," Su Zhixing said.
They had not lost a single person. They had all been brought back. They had also brought back a prisoner. The mission had gone smoother than they had imagined.
