A group of Black Feather Army troops were running through the forest in the night. Some of them walked on the uneven mountain roads and checked everywhere. They did not slow down because of the uneven roads.
They had a special characteristic. It was as if they would be able to sense movements in the forest despite the darkness. They seemed to have been trained to see things in the dark.
The scouts carried a bow and black feathered arrows. The five scouts maintained an equal distance from their teammates and advanced. This was their second day carrying out this mission. They only had one day left.
The scene of the defeated Black Feather Army troops being killed was still fresh in their minds. If they could not find the Wei Wu Army, they would face the same fate.
The Black Feather Army was a heaven for the ambitious, as everyone could find their own aspirations in the army. The Black Feather Army would give you plenty of advantages and opportunities as long as you were strong enough.
But it was merciless as well. The price for committing a mistake could be death.
These five scouts were the most elite out of all the scouts. They had just arrived with the rest of the army seven days ago. At that moment, half of the armies in the West Region were already gathered here. Everyone knew that something major had occurred.
The scouts had also heard about the space pathway from the rest of the soldiers. Although it was passed down in the form of legends, everyone was very sure that it was real.
One soldier from the Black Feather Army had disappeared. No one could determine what was beyond the space pathway. The other side was very strong, but was probably not as strong as the West Region. They definitely had a master as well, since one master from the West Region had disappeared.
In the past, there were three masters in the West Region, including Duanmu Huangqi. Later on, one of Duanmu Huangqi’s slaves also advanced to the master realm, bringing the total number of masters to four.
But now… there were only three left.
But there were no feelings of sadness in the Black Feather Army. It was as if the Black Feather Army soldier who had disappeared and the master had nothing to do with them.
Even the five scouts probably had no feelings towards one another.
They were not thinking about whether others would die. Instead, they thought about whether they would die if they could not complete this mission.
At this moment, they saw a flame in the distance. The flame was very weak, but the scouts stopped in their tracks and looked at one another helplessly.
It was definitely not someone from the Black Feather Army carrying a torch. With the strict rules in the Black Feather Army, no one would carry a torch in the wild!
They were excited. If it was the Wei Wu Army they were looking for, then they had succeeded.
Not only would they not die, they would be rewarded handsomely as well!
This was the reason why the Black Feather Army attracted those who were ambitious. As long as you had achievements, you would have everything!
“Why do I feel like there are a lot of mice?” One of the scouts lowered his voice. He saw at least 100 mice. Furthermore, there was a tuft of black fur on their heads. They looked very strange.
But there were many strange things in the Luniverse. Creatures had experienced many changes throughout the process of evolution. Thus, it was normal not to have seen such creatures before.
“They are just mice,” said someone in a small voice. “Let’s be a bit more careful.”
The five scouts rapidly traveled in the direction of the flame. The darkness in the forest was their greatest protection. But they had only ran a few hundred meters before suddenly stopped in their tracks… they realized that there was someone in front of them!
The person was wearing the typical Wei Wu Army magical armor. They might have encountered their scout!
This was very normal. It was impossible not to have any scouts or spies around while a large army was traveling. They would not be able to sleep well without them. They felt that something was wrong, but could not figure out what.
Thus, the leader of the scouts turned around and looked at the other four scouts. Then, they slowly inched forward. If they were not desperate, they would not have attacked, as the sound of bows and arrows in the darkness was very loud.
But as they slowly approached the Wei Wu Army scout resting on the tree, they suddenly realized that the scout was slowly opening his eyes. The scout looked at them and smiled. “You’re here?”
Their muscles instantly tensed. They had never seen such an arrogant gaze in their lives. Not only was he not nervous when he saw the five scouts, he was very…
Then, they saw him fly into the sky…
The scouts from the Black Feather Army blankly looked at the scout in the sky. “What in the world…”
They did not know that the Wei Wu Army had a Rank One scout, as all those who knew this were dead…
They were now in a state of shock. They did not know what to do.
A Rank One expert as a scout? Were you a demon?!
Half an hour later, the five scouts lowered their heads and slowly followed Liu Yizhao to the flame. When they walked out of the forest, they suddenly realized that over 5000 soldiers from the Wei Wu Army were sitting around several bonfires. They were wearing their magical armor. They looked down at their notebooks and were writing something in them…
When the scouts from the Black Feather Army arrived, everyone looked very excited. Something had happened. This meant that they no longer needed to do their homework!
Liu Yizhao brought them to a bonfire. “Great Lord, I’ve brought them back.”
The five scouts from the Black Feather Army watched as a good-looking young man held his bowl and ate. When the young man saw them, he put down his bowl and gestured for them to sit down.
The five scouts carefully sat by the bonfire. They guessed that this young man was the head of the Wei Wu Army, who had been making waves recently!
But why was he called Great Lord? This title was rather strange.
Lu Shu looked at the five scouts. Lu Xiaoyu, who was beside him, was frustrated over the accounts. She was calculating how much food the Wei Wu Army had eaten today.
“I will ask and you will answer.” Lu Shu smiled. “How about it?”
The scouts did not try to fight back, as they knew how the Wei Wu Army killed others. They definitely did not mind killing these scouts!
“Please ask,” said the leader of the scouts in a polite tone.
“Why is the Black Feather Army so desperate to find us? It is as if all you scouts have gone crazy. Are your lives at stake?” Lu Shu asked curiously.
The scouts lowered their heads. They said in a low tone, “We have received orders that if we do not find you within three days, we will die.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He paused for two seconds and said, “Won’t you die even more quickly if you find us?”
“… that makes sense.”
“From Lin Yu’s distress, +999!”
It was not a matter of dying more quickly. If they found the Wei Wu Army, they would be able to live for another day!
