Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 416 Sneak Attack

The jungle shrouded in night is like a mysterious maze, deep, quiet, and slightly chilly.

Dark shadows bent over and moved forward cautiously.

These hundred or so people seemed to blend into the night, their footsteps were light and they made no sound at all, like a group of well-trained night ghosts.

The leader of the team was a little thin, with deep sunken cheeks, and looked a little haggard.

His eyes were unusually large, and combined with his sunken cheeks, they made his eyes seem to bulge out abruptly, looking quite strange.

Because of this appearance, he was nicknamed "Xu Dayan".

Xu Dayan is not a rookie recruit. He has been repeatedly named by the general to be entrusted with important tasks and to "take care" of the people in those vassal states. Naturally, he has real abilities.

He was quite familiar with these people from vassal states who came from afar. Normally, when they arrived in the Wei territory at night, except for a very small number of people who would remain vigilant at all times, most of them would relax due to the long journey and would only want to find a place to rest.

However, when Xu Dayan's eyes fell on the camp in front of him that was brightly lit and heavily guarded, his heart suddenly tightened.

His eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's, and he quickly raised his hand and gestured, signaling his companions behind him to stop immediately.

Xu Dayan stared at the camp in front of him, frowning, thinking to himself. The camp of this group of people in front of him was so well arranged that it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

But he not only had no intention of retreating, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and his big eyes were shining with excitement. He stuck out his tongue and slowly licked his lips.

Then, Xu Dayan turned around and quickly made several gestures to the people behind him.

In an instant, the people behind him quickly dispersed like a well-trained wolf pack, hiding in the dense jungle, sneaking silently in different directions, each carrying out their corresponding tasks.

Xu Dayan narrowed his eyes and concentrated on calculating the distance between himself and the camp.

However, before he could act, a sharp whistle broke the silence of the night sky.

Xu Dayan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that one of his men had exposed his whereabouts.

At this point, it is no longer possible to catch the other party off guard.

But Xu Dayan was experienced after all, and faced with this emergency, he made a prompt and quick decision. He grabbed the whistle hanging on his chest, put it in his mouth without hesitation, and blew hard.

"Beep - beep -" The whistle sounded quick and loud, echoing in the silent jungle.

The next moment, the originally quiet jungle was instantly broken by the sound of "crashing". The hundreds of people brought by Xu Dayan gathered towards his location like a tide.

Xu Dayan's eyes were like lightning. He quickly scanned the crowd around him and keenly noticed that a few people were missing. He immediately spoke up and asked in a low voice, "Where are the pickled vegetables and the old dog?"

A soldier nearby quickly replied: "They were caught by the other side!"

"Oh shit!"

Xu Dayan cursed under his breath and groaned in his heart.

It is not good news that two of our companions were captured by the enemy.

If the general knew about this, he would be in big trouble. If he didn't win a great victory this time, he would have a hard time explaining himself to the general when he returned.

Xu Dayan gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He lowered his voice and ordered everyone, "Team A follow me, Team B protect the two wings. Let's charge their camp and see how strong the opponent is!"

After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards the camp in front first. The soldiers behind him followed closely behind him, like a black torrent, rushing towards the camp.

 …

Li Zhi never expected that just after he stepped into the territory of Wei, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, someone sneaked up on him under the cover of darkness.

At first, Li Zhiben planned to capture the other party alive when he was not prepared and find out his whereabouts and intentions.

Unexpectedly, this man was extremely vigilant. As soon as he realized his whereabouts were exposed, he reacted instantly and blew the whistle without hesitation to warn his companions.

Then he started to attack Li Zhi.

Although this person had rich combat experience and was skilled in fighting, he was still inferior to Li Zhi. After a few moves, Li Zhi subdued him.

Almost at the same time, Duan Heng also came over dragging a person who had been knocked unconscious by him.

The old dog captured by Li Zhi saw his companion Sour Pickles being dragged back like a dead dog. He was shocked and thought that Sour Pickles had met with an accident. His eyes suddenly turned red and he was filled with grief and indignation.

Without thinking, he leaned over, grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, and threw it towards Li Zhi's face, trying to disrupt Li Zhi and find an opportunity to escape.

Li Zhi frowned slightly, but he reacted very quickly, dodging sideways and easily avoiding the sand that was blowing in his face.

At the same time, the black sword in his hand stabbed straight towards the old dog's neck like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole.

This sword was obviously aimed at taking the old dog's life.

Lao Gou is indeed a veteran soldier who has been through many battles. Facing this life-and-death situation, he did not retreat at all. Instead, he rushed towards the danger.

He just shrugged his shoulders slightly, skillfully changing the place where Li Zhijian stabbed him. The sword that was originally aimed at his neck stabbed his shoulder instead.

The old dog was in great pain due to a shoulder injury, but he endured the pain and swung the steel knife in his hand, slashing at Li Zhi fiercely.

His fighting style of risking one's life was so ferocious and decisive that it forced Li Zhi to take a step back to avoid this fierce attack.

As Li Zhi retreated, Lao Gou immediately seized this fleeting opportunity, put away his knife and turned around, rushing towards Duan Heng. He raised his steel knife high and shouted, "Give me your life!"

Faced with Lao Gou's fierce and aggressive attack, Duan Heng was unwilling to take it head-on.

He reacted quickly, grabbed the unconscious pickled vegetables in his hand and threw them hard at the old dog.

Seeing this, the old dog had to give up attacking Duan Heng and reached out to take the pickled vegetables.

But Duan Heng used a little trick. When he threw the pickled vegetables over, he secretly applied an extra force on the pickled vegetables.

The old dog was caught off guard and was hit by the force. He couldn't stand still and was knocked to the ground.

At this moment, the pickled vegetable, which the old dog thought was dead, suddenly groaned softly.

Hearing this familiar voice, the old dog was surprised and happy, and shouted: "Sour pickles, you are not dead!"

"I didn't kill him, so he's not dead..."

A cold voice sounded above the old dog's head, like the cold wind in a cold night, making the old dog shiver.

He slowly raised his head and saw that Li Zhi and Duan Heng had surrounded him with cold eyes, as if they were examining a prey.
