Chapter 485: Making a Move (2/2)
The group also managed to kill the third group with no problems, but as they got closer and closer to the arrival of the fourth group, their senses heightened, their bodies were full of surging blood, and the adrenaline was rushing through their veins.
This was the make it or break it point in their plan. If they managed to kill the fourth patrol quickly, they would be fine, but if the fourth patrol was alerted to their presence, they would be fighting an uphill battle.
All of them held their breath as the fourth group came towards them. Xue Wei gestured for Luoluo to go and scour the surrounding area to see if there was someone waiting in ambush.
When the groups found out that the patrols were not returning, they would definitely send someone to follow a patrol in an attempt at luring out the prey and make the hunter become the hunted, but if they were still unaware, then Xue Wei and his friends would be a step closer to their goal.
Although they could easily just let the group pass and not act, causing the patrol team to be safe, they could not allow a liability to run through their hands. In case they noticed something, then their entire plan would fall flat.
Luoluo returned after a short while and shook her head. She was the one who had the strongest spiritual energy in the entire group, and she had spread it over the whole part of the forest without noticing even the slightest movement of other people.
The patrol should be alone, or their protector was above the Saint rank.
No matter which one of the options it was, it played according to their expectations. Xue Wei wanted to fight against the King ranked expert that was in control of the army camp, but he also knew that he could not just enter the base and fight against him. He had to lure him out from the protection of the big walls, and the many soldiers surrounding him.
This was what they were doing now. Every soldier that exited the camp was going to slowly vanish without even a trace being found, making it so that the expert had no other option than to leave the safety of the encampment and search for the killers.
Although he could move with the soldiers of his base, it was impossible to move an entire army to search for Xue Wei and his friends, as their group was small and mobile, allowing them to avoid a whole army.
This was the plan that Xue Wei had come up with alongside his friends, and all of them were excited.
During this point in time, the people from the fourth patrol group had arrived, and Xue Wei gestured for the others to be careful. They all solemnly nodded their heads, and soon they jumped down from the trees, the lights flashing from their attacks were already appearing as they fell. The first person of the patrol raised his head, only to be greeted by a spiritual energy sword, that cleaved him in half.
The others also realized that they were under attack, but they did not even manage to scream out for help before they had been killed. None of them had a complete corpse.
