C449 Monsters
But what puzzled her was that there was no third group of people on the island. Who else would attract these people to chase after them?
"Could it be that the young master is here as well? That doesn't make sense. Furthermore, even if the young master is here as well, he shouldn't have come so quickly. " Xia Xuan muttered to herself.
She really could not understand. Even if Lin Fan came, he should have communicated with her and acted together. It did not make sense for him to lure those people away alone.
After weighing for a moment, Xia Xuan threw away the confusion in her heart and gritted her teeth. "Alright, let's wait for a moment and act as well to rescue the captured people!"
"Yes, we should do that!"
"Don't underestimate the number of people we have. We are confident that we can save the person!"
The other guards said happily. These people from the Loongxiang Guard weren't easy to deal with. Although they didn't look like much usually, they were going to do their old profession. All of their eyes were glowing green in the dark!
The reason Xia Xuan had to wait for a while was because she considered that the people who had left the camp had not gone far. If she acted now, she would draw them back if she made any noise.
So she had to wait patiently for a period of time until those people were further away from the camp. Then, no matter how loud the sound was when she moved, they would not be able to hear it.
After waiting for another hour or so, Meng Laohu and his subordinates followed the trail and went further and further into the dense forest.
"Boss, did we chase too far? What if this is a ploy to lure us away... "One of his subordinates asked worriedly.
"I've already considered it. Don't worry, there are still about a hundred people in the camp. It won't be so easy to be attacked. Continue to follow the trail!"
"Yes!"
Meng Laohu did not underestimate his opponent, but he was confident in his subordinates that he had left in the camp.
Lin Fan had more than a hundred men on his side, and he had more than a hundred men in the camp. They were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they were defending. How could they be broken through?
That was why he could bring his men with him and chase after them without worrying about the safety of the camp.
Unfortunately, he had overlooked the strength of Lin Fan's subordinates.
The elite guards of Loongxiang Guard were not ordinary people. Each and every one of them was an expert with extraordinary strength.
The reason why they had been protecting Lin Fan after learning that Wei Gang had been captured and their escape route had been cut off was that they didn't make any big moves.
It was all because the situation was unclear, and he didn't know the background of Meng Laohu and the others. That was why he didn't attack Lin Fan directly out of consideration for his safety.
Furthermore, Wei Gang and the others were also captured, which meant that his men had become hostages. Thus, he didn't dare to act recklessly in fear of harming them.
After following the trail for more than an hour, they still could not catch up. Meng Laohu and the others had lost their patience.
"Boss, I feel that something is not right." A subordinate suddenly said.
"What's wrong? Something is wrong there?"
"Say, the vegetation in this jungle is so dense, how did the other party walk so fast?"
"Yeah, I also feel that it's strange. Look, these marks are all newly stepped out. It's hard for us to walk, but why is this person faster than us?"
Meng Laohu and the others weren't brainless. After chasing for such a long time, they felt that something was amiss.
Normally, they should not be able to move an inch in this dense forest. However, after chasing for so long, it was strange that they did not see anyone.
Meng Laohu stopped and squatted down to take a flashlight to carefully look at the traces on the ground. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's search further. If we don't find anything, we'll go back..."
"What is it?"
He was going to say go back, but before he could finish, a subordinate nearby suddenly shouted and interrupted him.
Hearing the commotion, Meng Laohu was delighted and felt that he had finally found it.
"Did you find it? Surround it!" Meng Laohu immediately ordered his subordinates who were scattered around.
"Ah!"
A miserable cry was heard, and it instantly made their hearts tighten. They heard that the sound was coming from their side.
"This is a tough one, prepare your weapons!" Meng Laohu immediately ordered.
He had been prepared for this. He did not think that Lin Fan would be caught by him after they found him. They would definitely fight a war. Now, they had suffered a small loss as soon as they met, but it was not a big deal.
As long as they surrounded him, Meng Laohu didn't think that his side would lose.
However, after a miserable cry, the dense forest fell into silence.
Meng Laohu raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop moving. After listening attentively for a moment, he felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
His subordinates had been on the battlefield for a long time, so why did they only make a sound and not make any sound? Even if they were ambushed, it would not be to the extent of that.
Moreover, if the other party had a majority of their men here, they shouldn't be so quiet.
"Be careful, be careful, and sneak over!" Meng Laohu ordered again.
He led his men slowly to the place where the sound had come from, and when they fell, everyone was shocked.
Meng Laohu was even more confused. One of his men was lying on the ground, and there were no wounds on his body.
However, his face was filled with fear, as if he had fainted after seeing something terrifying.
"Wake him up!"
Hearing Meng Laohu's orders, a few of his subordinates immediately helped the fainted person up with all their might and pinched him hard.
"Phew..." The unconscious man woke up with a gasp.
"What's going on? What did you see just now?" Meng Laohu asked coldly.
He felt that this subordinate of his was really shameful, and he fainted for no reason. Could it be that he could see a ghost in the middle of the night?
"Ghosts, ghosts! Boss, I saw a ghost just now. No, it's not a ghost, it's a monster!" The unconscious subordinate shouted in panic, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.
"What the hell?" Meng Laohu had a look of disbelief on his face.
He looked around and found that it was extremely quiet. It didn't look like there were ghosts or anything like that. Moreover, even if there were, would his subordinates be afraid of this? It was simply a joke!
"Kid, did you knock too much? Why are you so cowardly? Are you holding a flamethrower in your hand?!" Meng Laohu scolded.
The subordinates who surrounded him laughed loudly. They felt that this guy must have knocked too much and had hallucinated. He even scared himself to faint. It was too funny!
However, this person who had fainted just shook his head: "Boss, I didn't take any pills. I really saw a monster. It was a few meters tall. It suddenly appeared in front of me. It was too scary!"
"Bullshit. Where did this monster come from? It was even a few meters tall. If you didn't take too many drugs, what was it?! " Meng Laohu cursed impatiently. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe his subordinate's words. He felt that this was purely nonsense.
