Chapter 246 Ambush in the Forest
Mo Ming stepped into the primeval forest, like a lone leaf blending into the twilight, silently disappearing.
Before stepping into this mysterious place, Horn's warning still echoed in his ears: "There's movement over in the primeval forest."
The backup point was hidden underground deep in the forest. It was a key coordinate for Mo Ming's trip, but Mo Ming did not go there rashly. Instead, he conducted a detailed exploration within a few hundred meters of the area.
Firstly, it was to conceal their destination and protect the backup point's secrecy as much as possible.
Secondly, it was to investigate what Horn had mentioned about the situation.
The primeval forest is like a natural maze, with dense canopies intertwined, allowing sunlight to squeeze in with difficulty, casting dappled light and shadow on the leaf-strewn ground.
A damp atmosphere filled the air, a mixture of decay and new life.
The anomaly of the main vein of the Youhui Mine had been weighing on his mind. Although the chances of a ferocious beast finding the vein were slim, they were extremely small.
Moreover, unless he discovered something special, Horn probably wouldn't have given a special warning.
Therefore, Mo Ming can almost certainly conclude that the abnormality in the main vein is due to someone discovering a branch of the vein and engaging in large-scale mining, which has caused an imbalance in the vein structure, reduced the content of the blue gold in the Blue River, and lowered the water level.
Mo Ming sat on Meng Ling's back, his eyes sharp as he carefully observed the surrounding environment, especially the marks on the ground.
Mengling led him around and around, and now they were very close to the ground location of the backup point, but they still found nothing.
What made Mo Ming most uneasy was that, whether it was his imagination or not, he felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him from the moment he stepped into the primeval forest.
However... the source of that strange feeling was never found.
Left with no other choice, they could only grit their teeth and continue their investigation.
Just as Mo Ming was about to change direction, a chance glance gave him a glimpse of a brighter future.
"Mengling, go take a look in that direction," Mo Ming said to Mengling, pointing in a direction.
Mengling flapped her claws and fins, gracefully carrying Mo Ming away.
Mo Ming stared intently, then his heart skipped a beat. It was... a shoe print?
Sure enough... there really were people here.
Following the discovered shoe prints, Mo Ming traced the trail and found more messy shoe prints in the northwest direction relative to the backup point.
And the end of the footprints... seems to be right behind that hill in front of us.
Just as Mo Ming was about to approach, a sudden chill swept over him, and he abruptly turned around...
Two arrows, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, shot out from the forest. Mo Ming pointed his finger and quickly took out the bronze demon-suppressing sword.
Having been tempered by the Eight Martial Bronze Men Formation, Mo Ming's reaction speed is now completely different from what it used to be.
With a sideways slash, both arrows snapped in two.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a rustling sound, seven or eight figures wielding weapons rushed out of the dense forest.
Upon seeing their appearance clearly, Mo Ming had a bad feeling.
These guys are all human bodies... with ghost faces.
"The masked man!?" Mo Ming murmured under his breath, the shock in his eyes turning cold.
"So... your name is Mo Ming?"
The leader looked at Mo Ming with a fierce expression, cursing as he did so.
"You knew I was coming here all along?"
Looking at the seven or eight people who appeared together, Mo Ming could easily guess that they must have known his whereabouts all along.
I knew it! I always felt like there were eyes watching me from behind.
"Just answer my questions, don't give me any other nonsense."
Seeing that Mo Ming did not answer his boss's question directly, the henchman next to him became unhappy and pointed at Mo Ming, shouting.
"Where did you start following me?" Mo Ming asked again, seemingly ignoring the question.
"Shameless, aren't you?"
The two sides went back and forth, seemingly having a smooth conversation, but they were completely on different wavelengths.
"Damn it, enough talk, let's get to it!" Devil May Cry had completely lost his patience. "Minions..."
"Hey……"
One call and a hundred responses.
"Kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven or eight masked men moved out together and attacked Mo Ming.
"Big Bear!"
In an instant, Xiong Da transformed from a little bear into a terrifying behemoth.
With each step, dust billowed up, threatening to crush them, but the seven or eight masked men charging forward showed no fear, nor did they show any sign of stopping.
Strange!
wrong!
Mo Ming immediately realized what was happening, "Big Bear, watch out!"
Before he could finish speaking, a ferocious blue-purple beast crackling with lightning suddenly charged out and pounced on Xiong Da.
The next second, Mo Ming was stunned!
Although it is not as big as Xiong Da, it is quite strong.
After a series of clashes, Xiong Da was surprisingly at a disadvantage.
"Radiant Orange Level!"
There wasn't time to use the parser, so Mo Ming quickly called out, "Meng Ling, go help."
With the arrival of Mengling, the battlefield was immediately divided into two parts.
The three giant beasts clashed, while Mo Ming retreated rapidly.
I got away from that chaotic scene as soon as possible.
Furthermore, they need to rely on the complex terrain of the dense forest to fight against these seven or eight masked men.
Otherwise, a direct confrontation would be too disadvantageous.
The leader of the Ghost Cries hid in a tree, not intending to make a move, but instead observing the two battlefields from his vantage point.
While dodging, Mo Ming observed his surroundings, and the bronze hexagonal seal quietly appeared in his left hand, which was tucked into his sleeve.
It's best to keep the existence of the hexagonal seal low-key.
Suddenly, Mo Ming made a sharp turn, hid behind a large tree, and swiftly cleaved it in half with his sword.
Seeing this, the masked men behind them scattered, and dust billowed as the tree fell.
After the dust settled, the masked men poked their heads out again, but... Mo Ming's figure was no longer there.
Even the ghosts crying in the trees were obscured by dust, and the mysterious sight was lost.
At that moment, a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Everyone stand together, don't give him a chance to launch a sneak attack."
Upon hearing this, the masked men quickly gathered, their swords and spears pointing outwards, and tightened their formation.
Mo Ming, hidden in the shadows, smirked slightly. "Hmph! I knew you'd do this."
He then quietly channeled his spiritual power, and a huge fireball appeared above the masked man's head.
Someone noticed the unusual temperature and looked up...
"Run away..."
boom!
The fireball fell rapidly, and the two masked men at the center of its impact had no time to react and were directly hit by the fireball.
With a piercing scream, it perished here!
The original team of eight was reduced to a quarter in an instant. The remaining six were scattered by the fireballs and hid behind trees.
however……
The surprises didn't end there.
As the fireball fell, Mo Ming kept a close eye on the masked men's movements, watching the directions they dispersed, and had already quietly crept up behind one of them.
Then, the sword was drawn!
"At this……"
The sound stopped suddenly!
Seeing their companion fall again, the others' anger intensified, and they charged at Mo Ming once more.
"Five left, this time... no more hiding!"
