Jiang Yu thought: "We are short of manpower, so we have to leave some people behind..." He turned to look at Shui Qinglan and Luo Yucheng: "There is a natural discord between the Red Flame Spirit Clan and the Green Forest Clan." "Fentian's subordinates must be dissatisfied with the current situation where they were recruited by Qingmu." "They are now forced to accept this arrangement." "Therefore, I hope you can try to contact them and feel out their intentions... to see if there is any way to get them to change their stance and join our side." Luo Yucheng heard this, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes: "I see, no wonder you asked Shui Qinglan to investigate this related information before." "Your idea does have the potential to work." "Leave this mission to me. I have been leading troops to harass Qingmu's sphere of influence recently. My troops are stationed not far from there, so it will be convenient for us to move." In this way, Jiang Yu talked with them in detail about some other things and exchanged opinions and views with each other.
Finally, the time has come to enter the Mountain of Beasts. "Then I'm leaving." Jiang Yu said goodbye simply. Shui Qinglan couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful." There was a hint of concern and worry in her tone. Jiang Yu smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if things don't work out, I won't die there easily." After saying that, Jiang Yu turned around and strode away, followed by a group of elite guards including Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Yang Dayan, and thousands of well-trained soldiers. At this time, outside Demon Cave No. 3, the python leader whom Jiang Yu and his friends had met yesterday had been standing at the entrance of Demon Cave No. 3 waiting for a long time. Its strange python skin outfit glowed coldly in the dim light, and its eyes revealed an indescribable cunning. "Please come in!" It sneered in the direction of Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly glanced at the other party, then turned his head and whispered to Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Yang Dayan who were following closely beside him: "There may be an ambush inside, everyone must be prepared for battle." "However, considering the limited space in this passage, it is unlikely that they will set up an ambush here. They are more likely to choose to launch an attack after we leave the passage." Yang Dayan couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. He couldn't help but ask, "Lord, how did you know this?" Jiang Yu looked calm as he explained, "When the python leader sneered at us just now, his eyes were full of disdain." "The disdain was very evident." "If the other king really wanted to negotiate with us, then his expression should be helpless, at least he wouldn't show such disdain." "It showed such obvious disdain for us, which can only mean that it knew in advance that our trip was dangerous and we would die in here." "That is to say, they are likely to ambush us somewhere." After listening to Jiang Yu's analysis, Yang Dayan was shocked. He didn't expect that Jiang Yu could infer so much information just from the other person's expression.
Just like that, Jiang Yu looked calm and swaggered as he led everyone into Demon Cave No. 3. The python leader couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this, mocking himself in his heart: This human lord is only capable of this. If he really walks in like this, he might not even know how he died. Soon, they entered the cave. The cave was pitch black. In order to illuminate this dark cave, the generals and soldiers held up torches, and the flickering flames barely illuminated the way forward. The passage was long, and they walked for a long time. It was silent all the way, with only the crackling sound of burning torches and the sound of people's footsteps echoing. In order to avoid possible ambushes by the enemy, Jiang Yu was extremely cautious. He decided to let everyone rest on the spot and gather their strength when they were about to walk out of the cave in order to deal with possible emergencies. Such an arrangement is undoubtedly more secure and will be more conducive to their dealing with conflicts that may break out next time. At the same time, at the exit of Demon Cave No. 3. This is a dark and damp underground world. This place is far away from the sun and the sky, but thanks to a special luminous plant growing outside the cave, although this area is dark, it is not so dark that you can barely recognize the surrounding environment. The grass outside the cave was dense and messy, providing a natural cover for an ambush. A group of ambush troops composed of monsters of various races were quietly lurking in the grass. They were either crawling or half-squatting, their bodies tense, ready to attack at any time. Among these ambushes, the leader of the Toad People, the leader of the Python People, and the leaders of several other races followed closely. They were also lurking in the tall grass, staring at the direction of the exit of the magic cave, afraid of missing any movement. "Why haven't they arrived in such a long time? According to the estimated time, they should be here soon. This upright walking race is too slow." The Toadman leader complained impatiently, his voice low and hoarse. The leader of the python tribe seemed relatively calm. He analyzed: "This race's speed is definitely not their strong point, and they may not be as physically fit as us, so they must have gotten tired and rested halfway." There was a hint of contempt in its tone, as if it did not take the enemy it was about to face seriously. However, the leader of the Toad People angrily shouted, "Trash!" "A race like this can actually hold us back for more than half a year!" "It's unbelievable!" Its tone was filled with anger and unwillingness. The Toadman leader then frowned and said: "The king said that the myriad races outside cannot be easily conquered by force." "The biggest difference between the races outside and us is their intelligence." “Our people generally lack wisdom, so we are called beasts. “Therefore, we must not underestimate them, otherwise we may suffer a great loss.”
Just then, a tribesman suddenly shouted: "They are coming!" This loud shout broke the silence around, and all the ambush troops immediately became fully alert and prepared for the upcoming battle. "Charge!" The leader of the Toad People gave an order and rushed out with his men without hesitation. They suddenly surged out from the grass like a black torrent and rushed towards the exit of the devil's cave. However, when they rushed to a place not far from the human team, they were surprised to find that the human team coming out of the magic cave passage had already formed a defensive formation. Although their movements were slow, their formation was extremely rigorous and it was obvious that they were well prepared. "Ok?" "They have been prepared for this?" The leader of the Toad People could not help but frown, with an ominous premonition in his heart. (End of this chapter)
