To the north of Five Carriage City, across the Yellow River, across vast plains and hills, there were a thousand Qin soldiers marching through the mountains. Out of the 1,000 Qin soldiers, 100 cavalrymen were in the front. In addition, there were 900 infantrymen escorting provisions, wood, crossbows, and other supplies, following behind the cavalrymen.
"Young Master, the habits of the black spotted tiger are different from ordinary tigers. They live in groups.”In front of the team, Gongshu Yi was introducing the habits of the black spotted tiger to Ying Ziyi.
"Living in groups?" Ying Ziyi rode on the pony and asked curiously,""There are tigers living in groups?"
"This is recorded in the secret manual of the Gongshu family. This is quite special. More importantly, it is very likely that a black-spotted tiger king will appear in a group of black-spotted tigers.”Speaking of the tiger king, Gongshu Yi was a little worried.
Gongshu Yi was the young sect master of the Gongshu family and the grandson of Gongshu Chou. He was loyal to Ying Ziyi in his personal capacity and had nothing to do with the Gongshu family. Apart from the necessary tools, he also brought along a dozen or so disciples who were proficient in the art of traps.
Ying Zige thought of the huge figure he had vaguely seen during the barbecue and had a bad feeling. Although the system had rated him as an illustrious person, which meant that he was at the level of an expert among humans.
However, even if humans and beasts were at the same level, were their strengths similar? Ying Ziyi wasn't sure about this.
Fortunately, Ying Ziyi had already downloaded the map of the treasure hunt mission from the system. He now knew the surrounding terrain like the back of his hand. A holographic map appeared in front of him. In the northwest corner of the map, there was a monster mark. It should be the nest of the Black-spotted Tiger King, which was also the destination of this operation.
"Yes. There should be a high ground ahead. Let's set up camp there!”Their team had already entered the edge of the map. Ying Ziyi said to Li Ergou.
Their team had already walked for several hours, and the soldiers were already showing signs of fatigue. Ying Ziyi needed a stronghold for this operation, so he chose to build a simple camp on that high ground. He looked down at the surrounding scenery and monitored the movements.
At night, after several hours of construction, the camp was completed. A simple fence had been erected around it. The soldiers patrolled the surroundings with weapons in hand. Occasionally, one or two cavalrymen would finish their patrol and enter the stronghold to report the situation to the Hundred People Leader. Then, it was delivered to Ying Ziyi's hands.
In the tent, Ying Zige put down the report in his hand. It roughly recorded that the patrolling soldiers had found three water points in the surroundings that could provide water for the soldiers. Also, the two scouts sent to investigate the black-spotted tiger's nest had not returned yet.
The tent was warm like spring, and a medium-sized copper furnace was erected in the middle. There were carvings of ferocious beasts around it, and the lid on it was hollow. At this moment, it was still emitting curling smoke.
"Ergou, have you settled the rations and horses in the camp?”
"Young Master's orders have been completed. The granary had been thickened, and the stable was almost finished. In addition, the soldiers had already finished cooking and eating the hot food.”As the leader of the personal guards, he was in charge of all the specific matters in the military camp.
"Yes!" Ying Zige nodded." It might rain in the mountains these two days. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for two days before we can take action. However, scouting the black spotted tiger's nest was still of utmost importance. Right now, the two sentry cavalry have not returned. Send someone to receive them.”
"This subordinate understands." Li Ergou bowed and accepted the order.
At this moment, Little Crane, Little Fox, and Little Butterfly each carried a large plate and walked in. On the plate were wild boar meat, wild vegetables, and a plate of fruits.
The lacquer plate was very big, and its diameter was longer than the three of them. They put it on Ying Zige's table with some difficulty and said to Ying Zige,"Young Master, dinner is ready.”
Ying Ziyi picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of wild boar meat, and put it into his mouth. Little crane and the other two stood at the side, looking at Ying Zige with anticipation.
After chewing and swallowing, Ying Zige said to little crane and the others,"En! Your culinary skills have improved a little over the past few days. Not bad, continue to work hard!”
Hearing Ying Ziyi's praise, the expectant expressions on the faces of little crane and the other two instantly turned into joy." Thank you, Young Master. We will work hard."”
Ying Ziyi could feel that the loyalty of the three of them had increased a little. Not bad, he was one step closer to completing the mission. Ying Zige thought to himself,'How to defeat a loli is actually a technical job.'
"You guys come and eat together!" Ying Ziyi called the three girls over to eat.
"This servant does not dare!" The three little girls said in unison.
"Let's go together. What's the point of me eating alone?”Ying Ziyi said. The three girls looked at him, and their delicate faces were still slightly red. They carefully sat down beside Ying Ziyi and squeezed together to eat dinner.
"Young Master, the two scouts have returned.”After the meal, the three girls were cleaning up the dishes. Li Ergou walked in, looking anxious and worried.
Ying Ziyi looked at Li Ergou's expression and said seriously,""How's the situation?"
Li Ergou shook his head." The situation is very bad. They are all injured. I have already arranged for a doctor to treat them. The two sentry riders were quite skilled, but they had not been close to the nest of the black spotted tigers for long before they were discovered by the cunning black spotted tigers. Immediately, five or six black spotted tigers chased after them. Fortunately, the sentry cavalry were agile and immediately retreated. If it weren't for the fact that the two sentry riders were riding fine horses brought back from the Western Regions and that we had sent people to help them, they would have been doomed.”
Li Ergou explained the situation and continued,""According to the reports of the two scouts, there are at least twenty black spotted tigers outside the tiger's den. The situation in the cave was still unclear.”
"I understand." Ying Ziyi nodded." Call Gongshu Yi over."”
Gongshu Yi quickly walked into the tent and cupped his hands."Young Master, why did you call this subordinate over?"
"The scouts sent to scout the tiger's den have all returned. The situation is quite tricky.”
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
"Set up a trap and catch all these black spotted tigers in one fell swoop. In these two days, I will send out a hundred cavalrymen to find a suitable place to set up an ambush near the black spotted tiger's nest. Have your subordinates prepare to take down the parts of the ballista in the tent and maintain them well. They will be used soon.”
"Yes, this subordinate understands!"
After Gongshu Yi and Li Ergou left, only Ying Ziyi and the three little girls were left in the tent.
"Who should I find to be the main tank?”Ying Ziyi muttered.
Hearing Ying Ziyi's words, little crane asked," Young Master, what is an MT?"
"They are usually big guys with rough skin and thick flesh. They are able to resist and resist. They attract hatred and firepower. They are the best candidates to guard the house and set up an ambush as bait.”
"So it's bait!" The youngest Xiao Die said. She only understood one word from Ying Zige's long speech. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by little crane. While Ying Zige was lowering his head, little crane shook its head slightly, indicating for Little Butterfly to look again.
.....
Outside the stronghold, it was already drizzling. Sheng Qi stood alone on the mountain, carrying the Great Ravager on his back. He did not care at all. His fierce eyes were staring at the sparsely lit military camp not far away.
