Chapter 41 (1/2)
Thick fog filled the air. Although it was not impossible to divide every inch of land, the limit was four or five meters. No matter how far away, you couldn't see the body shadow clearly, let alone others.
The team led by Sean has been walking in this fog for more than an hour, but no one in the team has complained even once. They move forward quietly and calmly, and everyone maintains a state of concentration, because any situation may occur in the fog. They can't help but relax their vigilance. Of course, this has a great load on the spirit, but fortunately everyone is an old hand and won't bother too much.
In the fog of the forest of stars and meteorites, the disturbance of sense of direction is very serious. Although there is no space distortion, it will be lost if you are careless. The general way of identifying the direction or marking is useless in the fog. Only a special magic prop called traction dust can be used, but this magic prop also has a limit of use, that is, if it goes too deep into the fog, it will have no effect.
The Kobold's camp was built in a very clever place - it's not very deep, but it can be hidden deep.
Suddenly, the thief who was exploring the way in front suddenly raised a hand, and the team immediately stopped.
”Did you find it?” Sean asked softly.
”Yes.” The thief nodded.
So Sean quickly walked towards the front. As Sean got closer and closer to the thief, some black shadows began to appear in the fog in front. These shadows were not alone, but were lined up in a row. Sean knew at a glance that this was the wooden fence of the doghead camp, but these fences were built according to the defense stronghold of normal humans, so they were at least more than four meters high.
Sean nodded, then motioned for the people behind to follow. The line began to line up and move along the wooden walls.
After a while, they saw a figure about one meter high in the fog ahead. It seemed that they were holding a long gun, which was obviously guarded by a dog headed man. But Sean didn't order the attack. Of course, everyone wouldn't rush up. They all looked at Sean and waited for Sean's next order.
”Don't worry.” Sean didn't dare to speak, just made a gesture.
The fog of the star meteorite forest can only block the sight, but the sound can not be blocked. Moreover, the dog head man's hearing is sharp. Any sound will cause the dog head man's reaction at the distance where the figure can be seen. And the gathering place has just been beaten by the people of the black cat chamber of Commerce. Now the camp must be on extreme alert. Sean doesn't want to fight all the dog headed people in the whole camp.
Sean waved, the thief immediately nodded, and then the team began to retreat, leaving the thief alone.
Before long, the thief slowly began to fall back, and then arranged a trap for catching animals at an appropriate distance. Then he squatted down and began to gently tap the iron tools he carried. The sound of his tapping was very regular, and he tapped bit by bit to ensure that the sound would only be transmitted in a very small range. Then he waited a few seconds before he began to beat the iron and began to retreat back.
By this time, Sean and others had begun to disperse around.
They are not too far away from each other. They are about six meters away from the place where the thieves set the trap just now. This distance is just the limit that can be observed in the field of vision in the fog, and this limit position can be reached in only about a second for the third-order strength, which will have no other impact at all. And the signal of their attack was the moment Sean attacked.
The beating sound of iron has a slight strange feeling, which can easily annoy others. It will be effective for humanoid creatures as long as it is.
This is the unique seduction skill of thieves.
As Sean guessed, several figures appeared not far ahead.
These figures are no more than one meter high. They are all holding long weapons such as spears and spears, which is easy to distinguish from the dark shadow. Judging from the moving speed of the shadows, they still maintain a high vigilance. Sean estimates that it should be because he has just taken people here, so there are still some of their smell. After all, the dog head man is also sensitive to smell in addition to hearing.
Restraining his desire to kill by force, Sean began to wait for the bait of his prey like a hunter. He looked back at several others. In his position, he could only see the figure of a gunman. Cecilia was still with him, but she was not a candidate target for this assault. After all, a magic apprentice was not of great value in such a place where rapid combat was needed.
Sean's eyes had been fixed on the place where the thief had just laid the trap. He had made a simple cover up. If this simple cover effect was outside, even in the ordinary forest, he would never be caught. But in this fog, this cover is enough, not to mention the temptation and interference made by thieves, which is enough to attract the attention of these dog headed people.
”Pa!”
A dog headed man finally stepped on the trap. The sound of closing the trap was deafening in this area.
