Chapter 486: Ambush (1/2)

Seeing that everyone had died a quick death, Xue Wei heaved a heavy sigh of relief. After looting and burning the corpses, he gestured for his friends, and all of them changed their location from where they had been hiding in ambush for a long time to another part of the forest, where they would put up another kind of ambush.

Before, the patrols had walked through a specific pattern, and thus they were simple to ambush at the same location, but now there would be no more patrols; they would enter the forest in an attempt at finding the culprits behind the disappearance of the patrols.

Their new ambush place was located closer to the camp, and they waited for the people to come here.

According to Lan, when the chaos ensued, they would not send everyone out at once, but dispatch a few stronger teams with the purpose of locating the men who had gone missing.

These teams would be sent out one after another, and thus Xue Wei would have time to deal with each team as he wanted.

After the first group would have vanished, and the second and third groups would also have gone missing, it was clear that they would change their strategy.

Xue Wei never doubted what Lan had told him, and thus he was planning their next moves from his words.

As they waited, they saw a group appearing with bigger numbers than what the patrols had. The people in this group were all alert, and their hands were tightly gripping their weapons.

They clearly knew that the patrols had not returned, and were sent out to find traces of the missing soldiers, and to preferably capture the culprits.

Unfortunately, the military leader of the base had severely underestimated Xue Wei and his friends. The team he had been sent out was stronger than the patrol, but not by much. It just had more people in the team, and while it was true that having more people meant that it would be more likely that someone would manage to escape if they encountered any opposition.

All of them were quite ruthless, and they were looking at the people in front of them as if they were looking at walking corpses.

Xue Wei snickered when he saw their expressions, and he shook his head. Waving his hand, all of them, himself included, attacked the new group of soldiers from the Xiyang Continent.

The soldiers were shocked when they saw lights from various skills and abilities raining down upon them.
