Chapter 17 Tracking (,)

After Zhang Mazi escaped from the pursuit of the pirates with five other mercenaries, he hid in an abandoned material field in the village surnamed Xiong.

It took more than a day for Zhang Mazi to recover to a certain extent. The beheaded arm was irreparable, and his pale face made the numbness on his face more prominent.

"Captain Zhang, what should we do now?"

Zhang Mazi is the battle captain of the Meteor Mercenary Regiment. Among the six people, he is not only the strongest, but also the oldest. His rich experience has also become the backbone of this small team.

"With our strength, fighting with pirates is undoubtedly to hit stones and seek our own death. And hiding here is not a way. After all, we also need food and water supplements.

"Yes!" A tender-faced mercenary interrupted and said, "I heard that the giant axe pirate group has always been alive. They watched us escape and would definitely not let us go easily. Hiding here, it will be easy to expose!"

"Xiao Wu is right! At the last moment, the regimental commander gave me a task related to the life and death of the meteor mercenary regiment. If the task cannot be completed, then our mercenary regiment will fall into the hands of criminals.

"What task?"

The five mercenaries shouted in one voice and fixed their doubtful eyes on Zhang Mazi's face. Three points of expectation, three points of doubt, four points of curiosity!

"I can't tell you this for the time being! However, I have recorded the task. If I suffer misfortune, you can find the content through the mezzanine in my right shoe. You only need to follow the requirements of the writing to complete the leader's last wish!" At the end of Zhang Mazi's words, his eyes dimmed.

The six mercenaries present, regardless of their qualifications in the mercenary regiment, can be called Guda's direct line. They have all received great favors from Guda and fulfilled Guda's last wishes before his death, which is also something that everyone is willing to fight for.

At this time, the noise from far to near in the distance made the six people raise their vigilance to the highest at the same time. The ensuing calls for help and forgiveness made them realize that the pirates had come!

"Six son, you take Xiaohai and big bear and retreat to the left; I take Lao San and Xiao Wu to retreat to the right. Remember, let's meet at the previous port!"

Zhang Mazi didn't have time to convey Guda's mission, so he immediately issued an order. At this moment, he can only count on luck to help them avoid this crisis.

The discipline of mercenaries is far greater than that of pirates. Zhang Mazi's order, the rest of whom had no way to refute, immediately left the abandoned grass nest for a day and a night. After several shadows flashed into the woods, they gradually disappeared into the lush forest.

On the other hand, pirates led by red-haired ghosts further aroused their ferocity after their own people were killed for no reason. A total of 200 pirates were divided into two teams.

One team went to the village of Xiong, and the other team went to the village of Xie. After achieving his goal, he carried out ruthless killings against the residents of the island.

Last time, when slaughtering the village surnamed Li, the pirates also knew to leave beautiful women to vent their desires. At this moment, the pirates who are completely fierce will definitely cut off their heads as long as they see the living residents.

In a short time, nearly 600 people in the whole village were spared and died in the hands of pirates.

"Captain, we found a suspicious place!"

The red-haired ghost is thinking about what to do next after destroying the village to grab the items they are competing for. After being interrupted by the people, he was particularly unhappy.

"What's the matter?"

Captain, we found traces of someone staying in an abandoned grass den. There are about six people, one of whom is seriously injured, which is very suitable for the situation of the six escaped mercenaries!"

"Oh! Well, take me to have a look!"

The red-haired ghost came to the place where Zhang Mazi and others had hidden just now, and soon confirmed the inference of his subordinates. Various traces showed that the six mercenaries had not left for a long time.

"Hurry up and gather all the brothers here, find the whereabouts of the mercenaries, and chase them all along the traces on the ground!"

and the green-haired ghosts of the team of red-haired ghosts frowned and said, "What we are looking for is unlikely to be in the hands of mercenaries. I think it is basically in the hands of the lady of Murong's family!"

"I know! But we are not sure that things are definitely not in the hands of mercenaries! Don't let go of any possibility, otherwise once the task fails, the boss will never let us go!"

The green-haired ghost trebled for a while. He didn't dare to challenge the authority of the boss and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let all my subordinates chase!"

After an order, hundreds of pirates immediately launched a carpet chase at the forest where Zhang Mazi and others rushed into.

At the same time, Murong and the others did not find too much food in Wang Fei's cave, so they let Master Lin dive into the woods to catch their prey. At this time, all three understood the importance of Wang Fei.

Even Murong, a wise and intelligent person, has not reached the realm of understanding everything. The miscalculation at the critical moment led to today's embarrassment.

Master Lin did not have the ability to live in the woods. In addition, the animals living on Sanshan Island were rare. It took him a long time to hunt a hare. And he shuttled through the woods, leaving a lot of traces.

Zhang Mazi took two mercenaries for an hour, hiding the traces of passing by as much as possible and moving towards the port position.

It's just that they are not familiar with the surrounding environment, which makes them get lost in the vast woods. Unconsciously, it is still close to the hiding place of Murong and others.

And among the pirates chasing behind, there are many people who are good at tracking. The pirates soon found clues from the traces on the ground. The speed of chasing separately is almost no less than the escape speed of the mercenaries.

After following Zhang Mazi's red-haired ghost and his men and entering the hiding place near Murong's three, he was disturbed by the many traces left by Master Lin. They can no longer be sure which traces were left by the mercenaries and how the remaining messy traces came from.

"Let's chase separately and don't let go of any clues. If you find it, use a signal bomb to warn immediately!"

At the order of the red-haired ghost, forty or fifty pirates immediately scattered in the woods.

Master Lin, who was about to return to hide in the cave at this time, noticed the changes in the woods and exclaimed to himself, "Oh, the pirates must have found our traces when they came here. It seems that the boy is still unreliable. Miss has miscalculated this time!"

"We must leave immediately, otherwise once we are surrounded by pirates, we will definitely not be able to get out safely!"

Master Lin took a huge step and ran directly to the cave regardless of whether it would leave clear traces. His behavior of rushing to the hospital brought a glimmer of life to Zhang Mazi's escape.

The pirate's search soon found the footprints left by Master Lin. According to experience, there should be three mercenaries being chased. But here, there is only a clear trace left.

"Never mind! The mercenaries must have separated again, and the other two hid their tracks and had long known where they had gone. Since this person exposed his whereabouts, he must have the idea of sacrificing himself. We pirates should also meet his requirements!"

After the red-haired ghost said a few words to himself, even if he ordered, more than 50 pirates followed the traces left by Master Lin.

On the other side, Master Lin bumped back to the hidden cave and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good!" The pirates have arrived and are coming this way!"

Murong and Master Ku were stunned to get out of the cave together.

"What's going on? How can pirates find this place so hidden here? Murong, who has always been calm, also revealed a little panic in his tone. Falling into the hands of pirates, a tragic ending can be expected.

"I don't know the details! But it should be the boy who leaked his whereabouts. Miss, what should I do now? Master Lin didn't realize at all that he actually exposed his deeds.

Murong was stunned for a moment and had no time to regret his original decision. He shouted hurriedly, "Leave quickly! Before the pirates arrive, you must get out of their encirclement!"
