Chapter 277 (2/2)
Of course, it's not bad that both teams are old hands.
At least they know what to do and what not to do, and they don't need wamis to remind them at all.
Soon, the team came to a huge cave.
Several scouts stood in front of the cave and gestured. Wamis was slightly relieved. The gesture meant that there was no one in the cave. So the team went into the cave in silence, and the scouts walked in front with torches. The team kept up with them. In front of them, they had selected a relatively clean place to build a simple temporary camp and set up things such as boilers. The cave * * has a pile of firewood, which can be taken at will.
These firewood are prepared by other slave teams, which is a default hidden rule.
When any slave team leaves the wilderness and wants to pass through the gorge Rift Valley, it must collect a batch of firewood and pile it up to facilitate other slave teams passing here. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in this cave, that is, fighting is not allowed here, and the first provocation will be unanimously attacked by other slave teams in the cave.
Of course, this unwritten rule is also a lot of tricky.
For example, at the moment, if a slave team has returned from the cave and has made a lot of achievements, and the cave is only composed of them and another slave team, then a fierce battle is very possible. It was here that wamis clashed with the second slave team, but he didn't let everyone in the team sleep to death by virtue of experience, so he succeeded in killing all the others in turn, but he also paid a heavy price.
”Let's have a rest here. Our trip will be very difficult the next day.” Wamis opened his hood, revealed a slightly vicissitudes of life face, and said in a hoarse voice, ”everyone is an old hand, and it's not the first time to take this road, so you know what's going on, I won't say anything anymore It's OK to drink some wine to warm up, but we must control the amount. I don't want to see someone drunk tomorrow morning. ”
……
Almost at the same time, Sean and others, who accelerated their foot journey, finally joined the werewolf and gray elf in charge of investigation in front.
”What happened?” Sean asked.
”The other party just entered the No. 1 fire hole ten minutes ago.” The werewolf who retreated from the cave mouth said, ”I smell the smell of food and wine. They should be warming up.”
This cave is what Andre calls a rest stronghold.
Because of the mountain wind problem in the gorge Rift Valley, there will be a long way to be within the scope of this furious knife wind, and naturally there is no way to rest and eat in such an environment, so someone made three caves in this mountain wind section. The slave teams can take advantage of these three caves for rest. However, in order to prevent some accidents, these caves do not have only one entrance and exit, but a road similar to an corridor, and there are more than six entrances and exits, so that the slave teams can choose the location to leave at will. Using these caves can shorten the journey of about two days at most.
You know, the journey covered by the fierce mountain wind has seven days. It's not easy to shorten the journey of two days.
However, as the first cave that can take shelter from the wind, there are not so many entrances and exits, only three. However, under normal circumstances, the slave team will go directly to the third exit to leave the cave, and then take about a day's journey to reach the second cave. Naturally, it is impossible to stop and eat in this process, so they must be full before leaving the cave.
And I don't know why. The temperature in the cave is much lower, which is probably close to below zero. Even if the cloak is specially made to prevent the cold, the effect is not much better. Therefore, there is the custom of drinking and warming up in the cave. These are the experience of the slave team.
Sean turned his head and looked at Andre. After all, he was much more experienced than himself.
It seemed that he felt Sean's eyes. Andre said, ”you can cook food and start warming up in ten minutes after entering the cave. From the other party's practice, it should be a more cautious and experienced type, so he will certainly arrange someone to watch the night in shifts. But it also shows that he wants to save time. Otherwise, he should let everyone relax after entering the cave, and then start warming up and chatting... ”
”They didn't chat. The cave was very quiet.” A grey elf added, as if he knew what Andre wanted to ask.
”In this way, either they have something urgent, or the slave team has not completely run in.” Andre said, ”either way, it's good for us. We can wait outside for two to three hours before entering, and then launch a surprise attack to catch the other party unprepared, because at this time, those who have fallen asleep will fall asleep because of the strength of wine, and the people in charge of the night watch will start to feel sleepy because of the strength of wine. ”
”Good, that's what we'll do!” Sean agreed to Andre's plan（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
