Chapter 810 - Two-person Party (2/2)

Her words made it clear that she was asking for Chen Kai’s opinion.

Chen Kai’s astonishing observation skills had discreetly earned him a bit of Xu Xin’s trust.

“They shouldn’t be certain of our location yet. There aren’t a lot of stars at night, and their sight is largely limited. They should be able to be certain that we’re spies from China, but if we get any closer, we’ll definitely reveal our tracks.”

Happy had actually relied on Nine Yang Divine Skill to discover those two hidden reconnoiterers. He did not want to die here, especially not die with Young Yu Yan.

That will be too embarrassing!

“There are two choices.” Happy narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the hidden reconnoiterers not too far into the distance. He lowered his voice and said the plan he had already thought of since a long time ago, “We can circumnavigate those hidden reconnoiterers and continue to search for the supply route or alarm them of our existence. That depends on our goal.”

“What do you mean?” Young Yu Yan was stunned.

“If your goal is to complete this quest and go back once you find the supply route, we can bypass them and continue searching for the supply route. If we want to gain more points, since there’s still some time before daybreaks, we can fight at night, because we have an advantage if we do so. We can get more points.” Happy’s calm and quiet words caught Young Yu Yan slightly by surprise.

“Get more points?”

Once she witnessed the Mongolian cavaliers’ strength, Young Yu Yan became incredibly careful and cautious. She believed that she could only kill at most one small squad of cavaliers twenty Mongolian cavaliers in one go, which was why she had her desire of fighting against the main cavalier unit fade away, but she did not expect that this person will be so bold, even though his equipment was so ordinary!

But what Happy said made sense.

There were not many stars tonight, and visibility was low.

Martial artists could see everything around them clearly if they poured their qi into their eyes, but that might not be the case for those Mongolian cavaliers. They will definitely come over with torches.

If they brought a lot of torches with them, it will lower the Mongolian cavaliers’ combat ability, and it can also divide the Mongolian cavaliers’ attention.

But if they brought only a few torches with them, all Happy and Young Yu Yan needed to do was to extinguish those torches.

“At that time, are we going to farm our own points and not interfere with each other, or are we going to work together?”

Young Yu Yan’s answer caused Happy to smile. She agreed to his plan to get more points.

“Let’s work together. If we fight alone, the risk will be very high. If we have someone watching our backs, it will be much safer.”

Naturally, Happy will not let Young Yu Yan leave her sight.

No matter how much he considered all possible scenarios, once something happened against his expectations and they ended up in danger, it will be very difficult for him to forgive himself.

“Alright!” Young Yu Yan had no opinions about this.

The duo quickly became partners!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Right when the sounds of air being sliced rose, the reconnoiterers who were hidden in the dark were quickly alerted by two black figures who swiftly approached them. They lifted their pelts, and glaring signal flares instantly jumped into the dark sky.

The light from the signal flare shone and lit up a circular area that was as big as several miles. Everything within that area could be seen clearly.

“Oh no!”

Xu Jun had already completed the quest to draw the map when he sensed the abnormal red light ahead of him. He shuddered, and when he looked up, he saw the signal flare that lit up the night sky.

“They’re discovered?!”

The faces of the duo flashed in his mind, and an expression filled with a myriad of emotions appeared on Xu Jun’s face.

But soon, he noticed that the situation was bad. The two being exposed might affect him!

Xu Jun did not dare remain idle. He quickly summoned his steed, jumped on it, and rushed into the night at lightning speed.

At the spot where the signal flare was fired were three reconnoiterers’ corpses. They laid near the hole, and Happy as well as Young Yu Yan had grave looks in their eyes. They could already sense the thunderous rumbles coming from the distance on the quiet plains.
