0173 Death floating in the woods

At night, the third team of the Second Guard Team of the Luobei Manor was conducting a routine patrol around the village.

This is their main job.

As we all know, when Mr. Robe was a newcomer, he not only had a shallow relationship with the squires of Ratrinita, but also suffered a despicable scam, and had to build his manor in such a remote place.

There are far more wild animals here than people. Since the date of establishment of the manor, fourteen cases of missing young children have occurred, all concentrated in the plantation village on the edge of the woods.

The scene was terrible. Large predators would go deep into the manor and even touch the villa to choose what they thought were delicious.

In order to protect his personal and property safety, Mr. Robe had to expand his escort team.

The expanded guard team is mainly responsible for two aspects.

A team was stationed on the beach and used two old forts on both sides of the pier to prevent pirates from attacking.

The second team is stationed near the villa, mainly responsible for driving away wild animals, and by the way, beware of the indigenous people and bandits who settled in the forest.

The main way of working is their work, with four groups rotating around and day and night.

It happened to be the third and fifth teams on night patrol today.

After resting in the duty room until the fifth team returned, the team leader Roonet started his work with his team members and two well-trained Portuguese water dogs.

The northern vestibule is normal; the eastern pasture is normal; the southern cliff is normal...

The guards held torches and walked lazily in the quiet manor. They patrolled three sides in just over an hour. As long as they went to the plantation village in the west, they could return to the duty room and enjoy the hot soup and comfortable bed.

This speed is actually a little faster...

Roonet stared at the pocket watch for a long time, and when he saw the jungle approaching, he finally made up his mind: "We will rest here for half an hour, and then continue patrolling after half an hour."

The old partner was quite surprised by Roonet's decision: "Stay on the patrol halfway? Roonet, isn't this a bit unruly?"

"It's not that I don't go to the village, I just have a rest for a while, it doesn't matter." Roonet walked to his old partner, took a pocket watch, and explained softly, "Joe, we're walking too fast in front of us. If we were back to the duty room before two o'clock, the guys in the fifth group wouldn't think everything was normal outside, they would just suspect that we were cheating."

"It's so much faster than usual?" Qiao was stunned for a moment, "But if you take a break in the middle, you'll really be cheating. If the little guys stumble, let the deputy captain hear it..."

"I can't care about so much." Roonet spat at the grass, "It must be the responsibility of the throne so fast. Little George is your nephew, please remind him."

"What about you?"

"I? It took me half an hour to go to the woods to get shit..."

"May the jaguar like your white butt." Qiao rolled his eyes fiercely.

"It's useless to like it." Roonet tightened the dog leash on his hand, "With Gala here, the big cat can't get close to me."

...

Climbing is Asassin's basic skill.

According to legend, the top assassin can cling to his hands and feet on the smooth marble wall as smooth as a mirror, hang upside down on the fragile plaster, and silently approach the target.

Henna was born in the era of Asassin's decline. Her skills and equipment had been much deteriorated than her predecessors. That legendary realm was already a real legend for her, but if it were just a natural rock wall like the Robe Cliff, she could still act as sensitive as a bobcat.

Unlike Lorraine's climb step by step, her main way of walking on the rock wall is to jump.

The fingers and toes are pressed on the fulcrum with the minimum force, and the body is arched, using the center of gravity to ensure that the body is tilted towards the rock wall, and tilt your head to find the next fulcrum suitable for your foothold.

The new fulcrum is often two meters in a radius. Once found, she jumps up, settles first, and then grabs her hand. If a certain fulcrum is loose and falls off, she will jump at the fastest speed and exchange for the second choice that is prepared in advance and is close to her.

This is her climbing method, requiring lightness, dexterity, and inhuman precision control of the body muscles.

Lorraine was definitely not going to think of this way. Even if Henna taught him step by step, her physique and skills would not be enough to show her successfully. She was afraid that if she stretched out her legs and kicked her legs, the shale on the soles of her feet would be broken into two pieces.

So Henna climbed very fast. The nearly vertical rock wall of more than 50 meters was a natural barrier in the eyes of mortals. She couldn't even delay five minutes under her feet. When Lorraine started climbing, she had already slipped to the top of the cliff like a snake.

There is a forest on the cliff.

This forest is not big, but the trees are dense, with lush broad-leaved canopies layer by layer, weaving a thick cover to cover the moonlight and only seeping through the gaps of light spots.

Henna closed her eyes and recalled the information about the manor.

The villa is built on a cliff, and there are primitive forests that have never been cut down on both sides of the east and west. However, the forest in the east does not overlap with the stone beach. No matter how far the advance team deviates during the journey, it is impossible to get into it, so this forest can only be located to the west.

After determining the location and a cliff as a reference, Henna quickly walked to the edge of the forest and found Joe who was busy teaching her nephew a lesson.

Guard? Sentinel? Two? One dog?

Is this their sentinel? Why do we have to set up sentinels at the intersection of cliffs and woods? To guard against bandits or pirates climbing cliffs? Do many people like to attack suddenly by climbing rocks?

Henna covered her hood with almost pause speed, carefully hid her short golden hair, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

Suppose this is a holy place for illegal people to climb rocks with bare hands and is extremely popular. Are these two people the entire staff of the sentry post? If there is an open whistle, will there be another warning secret whistle? Where is the secret whistle?

She calmed down and listened.

Tonight's breeze, there are rustling leaves above the head, and there are slight ripples of snakes and insects twitching grass leaves under the feet. In the distance, there are vulgar and fierce insults of the sentry post, and there are intermittent croaking of night owls above the head, gugu, gugu...

There is no obvious abnormality.

Henna was very confident in her hearing. Although she was not completely sure, she believed that there were no hidden whistles nearby.

What's farther?

Lorraine told her that in the cooperation between light and dark whistles, the light whistle is bait and the cheese on the mouse trap.

No matter how the secret whistle is set, its only observation target is the open whistle.

Environment, vision, space... There are not many places suitable for setting up dark whistles. In a blink of an eye, Henna selected five, three on the tree and two under the tree.

She bent down and loosened the laces of her leather boots, shook her feet and stepped on the grass barefoot, quietly passing all the dots like a ghost.

As expected, there was no secret whistle in the forest. When they were close to the observation, the two dogs outside the forest were not like serious sentrymen at all.

They had no backpacks on their bodies, nor did they stay in the places where they were normal facilities and bonfires. Rather than saying they were sentries, they were the young ones who wanted to be lazy on patrol and were being taught by the older ones.

In this way...

Henna approached Joe and little George with the cover of the tree trunk, and they were facing her back, without any threat. Instead, the water dog next to her seemed to be lying lazily on the ground, but whether it was its motionless tail or its ridged ears, it showed that it was still fulfilling its responsibility and did not relax its warning for a moment.

It’s a pity that Henna will neither let it hear the sound nor let it smell the smell...

A cold light flashed!

The red velvet flying knife suddenly flew out of the forest, crossing the space in the blink of an eye, piercing it from its right ear before the water dog reacted, and penetrated its brain diagonally, and the water dog died immediately.

Its high head hit the ground with a loud bang. Before he could make a warning sound, Joe and little George did not notice anything unusual.

Eliminating the biggest threat, Henna climbed up the tree with her hands and pulled out a slender sling from her pocket, forming a collar.

The collar was thrown out, and it was lightly rubbed against Qiao's nose and hung it on his shoulder. Qiao's scolding stopped abruptly. He touched his chest in confusion and touched a thin leather rope.

"This is……"

As soon as he said that, Henna suddenly jumped from the tree, tied the collar tightly, and strangled Joe's neck.

Qiao struggled desperately with his eyes raised, his body tilted, and his feet made long drag marks on the grass.

Little George was frightened.

He saw a black shadow jumping down from the tree, floating, flying, shaking his wrists at his eyebrows...Puff!

After a moment, Joe stopped struggling and turned into a corpse hanging on the tree branch. George and the water dog were lying together, and the oozing blood accumulated a thick pot of blood in the grass. Henna silently took back her skeleton and flying knife, wiped it clean and retracted her pocket.

"Threat removal... Lorraine is about to climb up, it's time to go back..."
