According to Huang Biyun, she has never entered that cave and does not understand the situation inside. It is unknown how strong the demonic manpower is in that stronghold, and it is impossible to judge whether the current strength of the "Evil Dog Gate" can cope with it.
The safest policy at the moment is not to act rashly for the time being, and then move in the reinforcements from the "Arhat Sect" and the "Shaolin Sect" before launching a strong attack. However, now the masters of the two sects have gathered at the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain to prepare to attack Fugui Villa and send a message to them to dispatch. It will take at least two or three days for the manpower to arrive. To rescue Huang Biyun from the cave, the people in the demonic path will definitely notice it tomorrow at the latest. In another two or three days, the opponent will either have withdrawn long ago or will be ready to attack again. There must be no advantage at all
Everyone briefly discussed the current situation. Chu Yiyi believed that it would be better to play it safe and wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action. Liu Yuanhe was unwilling to wait for a moment and only wanted to rush into the demonic stronghold immediately and catch all the evil villains.
Hua Bushi thought for a while but chose a middle-of-the-road strategy. On the one hand, he sent a message to Fang Changsheng and Master Chen to ask them to come to the rescue as soon as possible. On the other hand, he was preparing to enter the cave to test the reality. If there was an opportunity, he would attack. If he found If the devil's strength is strong, retreat first and wait for help.

An oriole bird circled in the air and landed on a branch as thick as an arm. The pink worm it held in its mouth was an inch-long caterpillar that it had just caught.
It's already early morning. The early bird catches the worm. This is indeed true.
The oriole jumped a few times on the branch. Just as it was about to enjoy its breakfast, a group of leaves next to it suddenly shook slightly. The shaking was not violent. However, the oriole's instinctive reaction had already sensed the approaching danger.
It kicked off its feet and flapped its wings to fly, but it was too late.
A green shadow jumped out from behind the leaves and accurately caught the oriole at the moment it jumped into the air.
This is a two-foot-long blue-and-white snake with a flat, triangular head and a body covered in dark green patterns. It is extremely difficult to distinguish among the branches and leaves of trees.
The oriole squeaked and fluttered hard in its final struggle. However, its neck was bitten by the big mouth of the blue and white snake and it soon stopped moving. This was because the snake's fangs penetrated the bird's body and sprayed out venom. It lost consciousness instantly
The prey has been captured. The blue-and-white snake curled up its body and rolled the bird in the middle to devour it, but suddenly stopped because it also felt a hint of danger in the air.
The blue-and-white snake held an oriole in its mouth and quickly climbed down the branch and jumped into the grass at the bottom of the tree. Although it didn't know where the danger was, it was born with this sense. It had to find a safer place. to eat
The danger it sensed was actually on a higher branch. A man with unkempt hair was squatting there. It was Li Hu. The color of the yellow shirt on his body was similar to that of the tree trunk, making it difficult to distinguish.
The blue and white snake hunting the oriole happened less than three feet away from Li Hu's feet, but he didn't even look at it but stared at another big tree more than ten feet away in front of him.
In the center of the tree, there was a simple straw hut about a few feet above the ground. A man wearing a green shirt and a steel knife stood in the hut and looked around. It was the sentry set up by the devil.
There are not just one but five such sentries around.
After everyone discussed the decision last night, they immediately sent someone to send a message to Fang Changsheng asking for help. Huang Biyun led the way and led everyone to the cave she knew. When they got closer, it was almost dawn.
The dark night is certainly conducive to sneak attacks, but this is not the case for a cave with completely unknown terrain. Plunging into it in the dark is more likely to be ambushed. For the sake of caution, Hua Bushi decided to wait and see until dawn before taking action.
The entrance to the cave is not large and is located in a deep mountain forest. It is surrounded by trees and is very hidden. After observing, it was discovered that the demons had set up five sentries near the cave.
The five sentry posts may not seem like many, but in fact the defense of the cave entrance is not lax. The locations of these sentry posts are very reasonable. Three of them are located on the periphery to monitor whether enemies are approaching, while the other two are located on the inside closer to the cave entrance. Used to check if there is any abnormality in other outposts. If the outlying outposts are attacked, they will find out immediately.
There must be means of transmitting messages in these sentry posts and they are connected together. If an intruder attacks any other sentry post, a warning signal will be sent out. The only way to enter the cave without being noticed by the other party is to Launch a simultaneous campaign to capture these five sentry posts in one fell swoop.
It is not too difficult to use Qinggong to approach and attack the three sentry posts on the outside. However, it is not easy to sneak up on the other two sentry posts on the inside.[
Among the people, the five people with the highest martial arts skills are Liu Yuanhe, Yuan Xi, Ximen Tong, Li Hu and Meng Huan. Among them, Liu Yuanhe and Yuan Xi are from famous sects. Although their martial arts are high, they don't have much experience in sneak attacks, so they can only do it at most. Deal with outposts
To deal with the two sentries on both sides of the cave, Li Hu is good at sneaking and attacking, so he is the most suitable person. Although Ximen Tong is not good at hiding and sneaking, his Qinggong is not weak after all. It can only be regarded as a difficult task.
However, just when Hua Bushi was hesitant about how to allocate manpower, Meng Huan offered to raid one of the two inner sentries. Meng Huan had always helped Chu Yiyi take care of the affairs of "Qianhuafang", although the young master often saw him But he doesn't quite understand his martial arts skills
Turning to look at Chu Yiyi, Hua Bushi agreed immediately. He knew that Chu Yiyi was very meticulous in her actions. Since she had objections, she must have thought that Meng Huan would definitely succeed.
Li Hu had to stop when he sneaked fifteen feet away from the target sentry shed.
The placement of these five sentries outside the cave is quite reasonable. Although there are many trees around, if you want to get closer, you will be under the direct surveillance of the opponent. No matter how high the attacker's Qinggong is, it is impossible to become invisible and make a surprise attack. The distance of fifteen feet is a bit too far.
However, Li Hu still has a way. He simultaneously observes the gazes and turns of the five sentries around him in an attempt to find gaps. Although if he goes any further, he will be exposed to the opponent's sight, it is impossible for the five sentries to keep facing. Look here. The moment he finds that the attention of five people is not in this direction at the same time is the time for him to continue moving forward.
After the meal, Li Hu only found two opportunities to take advantage of. He moved forward two trees away from the target sentry and still ten feet away. A tree in front of him was not close to him. He wanted to find another opportunity. It may not be easy to jump over without being noticed, but with only ten feet of distance left, Li Hu is already confident that he will kill the demonic sentinel before he sends a signal.
Li Hu glanced at the other side of the woods and frowned. He observed that the tree where Meng Huan was hiding was still fifteen feet away from the sentry post about to attack. Obviously, Meng Huan did not have the ability to go further. of approaching
At this moment, Li Hu heard six rhythmic frogs croaking from the forest behind him, which was the action signal sent by Hua Bushi, because five people had to take action at the same time to deal with all the demonic sentries, which ordered them to warn them.
Yihua Bushi had made an agreement in advance that everyone should obey his instructions. After these six frog signals, it would be time to count seven more times to start.
Now Li Hu had no time to worry about Meng Huan's situation. He had to take care of his own goals first. He slowly drew out his broad sword and used his sleeves to cover the cold light on the sword. He curled up and made preparations to pounce, while silently counting in his mind.
seven six five four three two one
Counting down to Yi Lihu's body, he had already leaped out. He did not directly jump towards the sentry post in mid-air, but flew close to the ground and entered under the tree before jumping straight up. This is because flying through the air is direct and straightforward.
The wind caused by his side is louder, and if the opponent reacts quickly enough, they can try to dodge according to the direction in which he is leaping, and stay close to the ground, which can make the opponent's approach more predictable.
It wasn't until Li Hu climbed up to the hut in the tree that the demonic sentry reacted. He stretched out his hand to pull a string beside him, but saw a sword light rolled up to his arm and broke it at the elbow, and there was another flash of cold light. He opened his mouth.
But there was no sound because the throat had been cut by the sword.
Lihu's attack was actually much faster than the action of the blue and white snake. Of course, the sentry could not escape the fate of the oriole and fell down without saying a word.
The raid on the five sentries was completed in an instant. Li Hu could only hear a dull sound of breaking bones from somewhere behind. He thought it was Liu Yuanhe or Yuan Xi who used heavy techniques to kill the enemy. Meng Huan
The sentry over there actually made a little noise as well.
Li Hu looked intently and saw the green-shirted sentry lying on the fence of the hay shed. There was a steel dart as thick as a little finger nailed to his forehead. It turned out that Meng Huan used a hidden weapon. Li Hu felt relieved.
However, it is not an easy task to be able to kill the opponent with a single strike with a hidden weapon from a distance of fifteen feet without making a sound. Li Hu had never thought that Meng Huan would have such ability.
After getting rid of the sentry outside the cave, the five men immediately rushed towards the entrance of the cave, and the Qingyun Guards and Pili who were ambushing behind also rushed to kill them.
There were more than ten demon cultists in the entrance of the cave. At this moment, the genius was bright. Most of these people were on guard. Most of them were still sleeping, so they were all killed in just a few breaths after barely resisting.
