Merchant Band? The dangerous thorny vines!
While they were moving forward, Zhou Yan suddenly raised his hand.
The entire team stopped in an instant.
The highly vigilant crowd looked around warily.
"There's someone up ahead."
Zhou Yan said with a frown.
"Someone's here? A place like this?"
The others looked at him in puzzlement.
Ye Rou squatted down and carefully observed the marks on the ground. From time to time, she would use her fingers to pick up some dust.
After a moment, Ye Rou stood up and said,""It should be a caravan."
"There are traces of wheels on the ground.”
Hearing this, the others squatted down to take a look. However, because they did not have professional experience, they could not see anything.
"Let's go first. When we're almost there, Brother Zhou will tell us.”
"No problem."
Zhou Yan nodded.
The team slowed down and gently leaned against the road.
When he knew that he was only a few dozen meters away from the other party, Zhou Yan raised his hand to indicate that it was about time.
This was only in the forest. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by the other party from a few hundred meters away.
However, it was different in the forest. First of all, it was already dark in the forest, and most of the sunlight was blocked by the trees. Secondly, the plants were too dense, and all kinds of thick trees could be seen everywhere.
Secondly, there were sounds of all kinds of fierce beasts, birds, and insects in the forest. There was also the sound of the wind blowing the branches and causing the leaves to rub against each other.
That was why Zhou Yan and the others were able to follow them so closely without being discovered.
Everyone hid behind a tree about three meters in diameter and quietly observed the team in front of them.
There were about ten people in the team, and they were guarding a carriage that was about ten meters long.
The carriage had all kinds of useless functions and weights removed. It was like an iron box with four wheels added to it.
A battle pet was tied to the front of the carriage. It seemed to be pulling the carriage.
It was not suitable to drive outside the city. One of the problems with trucks in the wild was fuel. There was no supply point outside the city. Once it broke down on the road, it would be useless.
Another problem was the repair. If there was a small problem, he could solve it himself. What about the big problem? Could it be that he didn't want the whole truck?
How many people would risk their lives on a trade route? How could they dare to take such a big risk?
Moreover, the car was loud, and it was difficult to pass through dangerous places.
This also made the people who chose to run the business team not dare to take such a big risk.
However, it had to be said that human intelligence was limitless.
They removed the useless parts of the entire carriage, such as the front of the car, the fuel tank, and so on.
There was only a layer of iron left. It didn't need to be very thick, as long as it could shelter them from the wind and rain.
After all, if they really encountered an irresistible danger, no matter how thick the carriage was, it would be useless.
The goods were placed in the carriages, which were pulled by large battle pets.
This way, it was more flexible and he did not have to worry about malfunction.
At this moment, the caravan was slowly advancing.
……
"Did you hear anything?”
"Old Wang, did you drink too much last night? Why are you so paranoid today?”
"We've been gone for so long. Old Wang, this is already the third time you've said that!”
A few patrolling members of the caravan helplessly replied to another person with a nervous expression.
The person who was called Old Wang was not dissatisfied. He was still frowning.
"No, something's wrong. This isn't the first time I've been to this place!”
"There's definitely something wrong. Listen carefully.”
When the other patrol members saw how insistent Old Wang was, they also became serious.
"What are they doing?"
"Why aren't you leaving?"
The contestants following behind the caravan looked at the other team in surprise. Perhaps it was because they were nervous, or perhaps it was because they had not encountered a crisis for a long time, but one of the students accidentally stepped on a dry branch while walking.
"Pa da"
The patrol team was on high alert, so of course they wouldn't miss this sound. Moreover, the two teams were already very close to each other.
"Over there!"
The patrol members commanded their battle pets to attack the trees where the contestants were hiding.
However, Old Wang was still frowning.
He looked at his other companion, who had traveled with him several times.
"Old Li, do you remember that there were so many thorns on the roadside when we came here in the past?”
There were a few dark red thorns growing in the gaps between the trees on both sides of the road.
Old Li thought for a while, then looked at the thorny bush carefully and shook his head.
"No, I don't think I've seen this thing before.”
……
At this time, the patrol members 'attacks had arrived, but they were easily blocked by the players.
The group of people returned to the middle of the road from behind the tree.
A few people from the patrol team gathered at the back of the team and confronted the contestants from afar.
"Are you the ones who followed us all the way?”
"What are you guys doing?"
Other than asking the players, a patrol member also asked Old Wang,""Old Wang, you must have discovered them.”
Old Wang could not be bothered to answer him at this time. He stared at the thorns.
Beside him, Old Li An couldn't help but pick up a wooden stick and move forward, wanting to pull it to take a look.
At this moment, Old Wang seemed to have finally remembered something. His face was filled with fear as he shouted desperately.
"No, I can't! No!"
"Old Li! Come back quickly!"
"That's…"
Before Old Wang could finish speaking, Old Li had already picked up a thorny vine with a wooden stick. When he heard Old Wang's shout, he subconsciously turned around to take a look.
Hence, in a place he did not see, the vine suddenly grew rapidly. In just a short breath, the vine extended from the wooden stick and climbed onto Old Li's body, tying him up!
"Ah! Save me!"
Before the others could react, the thorns on the vines pierced into Old Li's body.
In just a few seconds, the originally strong middle-aged man seemed to have deflated like a balloon.
