These three miscellaneous soldiers escaped about five minutes in advance. Originally, at Gray Linte's speed, even if he ran at full speed, it would have taken at least ten minutes to catch up with them.
But they were delayed for at least two minutes in order to cover up the traces of the previous intersection. This caused Grayling to choose the right direction and only continued to chase forward for less than three minutes before he saw one of the targets...
After quickly dealing with the opponent, he returned to the original intersection and continued moving forward along the blood trail.
…
After another seven or eight minutes, it gradually deviated from the road, leaving only traces of someone forcibly passing by, and Gray Linte saw two identical traces.
The difference is that this time the bloodstain is oriented to the west and is not concealed; while the other direction is straight to the north, which is also undisguised!
Next to it are discarded fireworks materials that have just been used.
"interesting……"
After pondering for a second, Glerint decisively chased towards the west where the blood stains were obvious.
No matter what, preventing the other party from transmitting information is his first goal. As for killing the enemy, it is not that necessary.
After chasing him for only half a mile, Gray Linte frowned.
There are two directions again, and the same direction is west with bloodstains, and northward with obvious traces but no bloodstains.
"In other words, where there were discarded fireworks materials last time, there are traces of forgeries in the north direction..."
The reason is very simple, because there is also no bloodstain in the north direction of Gray Lint. If that person has already gone north before and there is only one injured person here, then he obviously cannot forge a path without bloodstains.
trace.
Heading west again, after chasing the blood trail for less than half an hour, it was getting dark.
…
Looking at the large area of overturned weeds and large bloodstains in front of him, as well as the obviously greatly changed marks and bloodstains on the left side, certain pictures naturally emerged in Gray Lint's mind:
The only wounded soldier with a strong smell of blood, after escaping here, unfortunately and naturally encountered a predatory beast... At the same time, I don't know if he has no bullets or is afraid of hearing the gunshots. He should be
No shots were fired.
As a result, the injured man was of course unable to resist the beast, so he was bitten to death and dragged away.
The reason why the winner is determined to be the unknown beast is that Gray Lint didn't see any traces of human departure here... and there were only traces of human blood on the completely different traces there.
——————————————————————
After another half an hour, Gray Lint returned to the second trace separation point just now.
The reason why he didn't use "travel" to teleport back was because in such a dangerous primitive jungle, Gray Linte didn't dare to squander his spirituality wantonly, and had to keep some of it ready to teleport away at any time.
After all, the mission is definitely not as important as his own safety.
…
Then, he chased the last enemy - this will be the most difficult target in this pursuit.
There are many reasons for this, the most difficult to overcome is:
He was going in the right direction and was already almost an hour behind the other party! With both parties moving forward, even if he was chasing in a straight line, it would take him several hours to catch up with the other party.
What's more, it's completely dark now. The "lawyer" does enhance the observation ability of the eyes and enhances perception, but the performance of such enhancement in the dark night is actually far inferior to that in the daytime... Fortunately, there is still water pouring out from the clouds from time to time.
The crimson moonlight can illuminate his progress.
The most difficult problem is that the enemy can change escape routes at any time and create new traces.
…
After chasing all the way, after chasing the wrong traces forged by the enemy, it was already late at night, and Gray Lint also chased the enemy for nearly a hundred miles... Relying on his strong physical fitness, he
He came almost at a trot. But in order to save energy, the other party obviously couldn't rush like him.
But Gray Lint didn't feel that he was getting closer to the other party, because it was not easy for him to identify the traces at night, and it took him a lot of time.
"That's just because he didn't distance himself! But during the day..."
After his vision recovered during the day, and relying on his strong physical fitness, his physical energy would not decrease too much, and the other party was most likely very tired...
After midnight, both sides inevitably slowed down.
Gray Linte is because the crimson moonlight has almost disappeared, making it extremely difficult to distinguish traces.
The enemy soldier in front is exhausted and has poor vision. With the two sides superimposed, he is almost dragging his body forcefully and moving forward bit by bit - he will not place his hope of escape on the enemy.
Mistakes above.
Similarly, unless there is really no other way out, he will not choose to surrender, which is equivalent to putting his life in the hands of the enemy.
…
Night is a paradise for predators, but neither the enemy soldiers escaping in front nor the Gray Lint chasing behind them seem to have any worries about this.
The former took the initiative to move forward through the remote wilderness, and of course he would not fail to find ways to eliminate interference. Obviously, one of his purposes was to interfere with possible pursuers behind him through wild beasts that had no effect on him at all.
But this also has no effect on Gray Lint. He only needs to pick up a handful of weeds or leaves and "bribe" the approaching beasts, and they will immediately become extremely friendly to him.
"It's a pity that they have no intelligence, and I lack the extraordinary ability to communicate with animals..."
Otherwise, with the help of these animals' vision, he would definitely have caught up with them long ago.
————————————————————
Two hours later, the last hint of crimson had completely faded away. Only the misty starlight was left to support the two of them moving forward.
At this moment, the fugitives walking in front vaguely saw the foot of the mountain in the distance, with several lights flashing...
"Indigenous..."
He murmured, paused for a moment, and then moved over there - where humanoid creatures move, there will definitely be different roads and different traces, which will greatly increase the difficulty of tracking by the pursuers behind him.
Of course, this will also bring certain dangers to him.
Almost at the same time, Glalint, who was chasing behind him, also became more vigilant. During this chase, the opponent was basically moving to the west, and only occasionally walked a few miles to the northwest... This meant that the chase was all the way.
, the two of them were always approaching the enemy force - of course, this was the east-west distance, while the north-south distance continued to expand.
"He shouldn't be able to tell whether there is anyone following him?"
"Why not try to approach your own team in a straight line?"
How could he imagine that in this desperate night, how could the other party calm down and carefully identify the direction? He could only move forward based on his feelings... As for Gray Lint himself, relying on his basic ability to identify the stars, he was still able to
He won't lose his way - although even if he loses his way, he can still "travel" directly and leave.
There is such a thing as "astrology" on the "Chain of Secrets", but it is just an extraordinary ability that can be exerted by infusing spirituality. It is used for divination, but it does not really allow a layman to have the ability of "astrology"
.
…
After groping for more than half an hour, Gray Lint also saw two or three sparse lights at the foot of the mountain...
