After returning to the team, the soldiers asked about the situation ahead. Qin Yuan told them the detailed report of their search in detail.

“Our top priority now is to find Captain Geng Hu’s whereabouts!”

The soldiers all said in unison.

“Yes, this is indeed our top priority now. I’m here to discuss with everyone how to allocate the troops.”

Qin Yuan said.

They should indeed send people to look for Geng Hu, but they also needed people to guard the rear.

The best way was for Qin Yuan and He Chenguang to lead two groups of troops respectively. One group would be prepared to receive them at any time and wait for an opportunity to attack, while the other group would go ahead to scout the enemy’s situation.

After all, they had yet to confirm the enemy’s location, so they could not throw all their forces into it.

It was very likely that the other party was monitoring their every move from somewhere in the dark.

“He Chenguang, you stay here and guard the camp.”

Qin Yuan turned his head and said to He Chenguang.

He Chenguang originally wanted to argue with him and let Qin Yuan be the general guarding the camp here. However, when he saw the determination on Qin Yuan’s face, he dispelled this idea.

“Alright, go ahead. Leave the rear to me. Don’t worry. If there’s anything, contact me at any time.”

He Chenguang said.

Qin Yuan nodded. Then, he selected 50 elite warriors and brought the two surviving soldiers from Geng Hu’s army. They immediately set off in the direction of Xiao Yan’s army in the east.

“Do you know the general direction?”

On the way, Qin Yuan asked the two soldiers.

“Yes! Over there! They came from over there!”

Both of them pointed at the forest in the east.

“Alright, the entire army will slowly advance over there. The main thing is to hide our tracks.”

Qin Yuan immediately ordered.

Everyone marched at the same speed as before, and their first priority was to hide their tracks.

Soon, Qin Yuan and the others discovered some clues left behind by the other party.

Although it had been deliberately hidden, it did not escape Qin Yuan’s eyes.

There were some blurry footprints on the ground. Although they had been washed away by the soft soil, they could still be seen if one observed carefully.

These footprints were exactly the same as what the two soldiers had said. They extended all the way to the forest in the east.

This further confirmed Qin Yuan and the two soldiers ‘guess. The other party was very likely hiding in the forest in the east.

However, why didn’t the other party follow up the victory?

One had to know that the number and equipment of each of their teams were stronger than the logistics company. They had taken the initiative to attack before, so why did the last remaining team choose to avoid the battle?

This made Qin Yuan very puzzled.

However, they had no choice but to continue exploring the path ahead.

Following the footprints left behind by the other party, the team slowly advanced, and they were getting closer and closer to the forest.

Qin Yuan began to calculate how to deal with the enemies that might appear at any time.

However, everything was unusually smooth. In these few minutes, they did not encounter any difficulties and successfully arrived at the periphery of the forest in front of them.

A group of people hid in the bushes of the forest, staring at the forest ahead.

Qin Yuan also observed it for a while, but he did not find any abnormalities or movements.

“Strange, it’s so quiet inside. It doesn’t seem like there’s anyone here.”

Some of the soldiers began to mutter.

“Yeah, this is too strange. It looks like an ambush.”

Qin Yuan also understood in his heart that since the other party had done those things just now, they must have been prepared to guard against their counterattack. It was impossible for them to easily launch a sneak attack.

What they needed to do now was to find the opponent’s position and make plans to attack.

From the outside, the forest in front of them looked very strange. They definitely could not let their troops fall into danger easily, but it was not a solution to stop moving forward.

After thinking about it, Qin Yuan decided to go in and probe.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go in and see the situation myself. I’ll tell you when I come back later.”

Qin Yuan whispered to his soldiers.

“Captain! How can I let you take this risk alone?”

The soldiers below were clearly unable to accept it.

” Don’t worry, scouting is my forte. I’ve done something like this before and I’ve never failed. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Qin Yuan frowned.

Then, he did not want to waste any more time with them. Without waiting for their reply, he turned around and walked into the forest.

Qin Yuan carefully flipped open the lush grass and went deep into the forest.

The situation inside was indeed similar to what he had expected. The vegetation was overgrown and lush. At a glance, it was all green trees and there were no traces of people.

Strange, they had clearly followed the footprints here, so why was there no one here?

Could it be that the other party was playing hide-and-seek with him?

However, this wasn’t right either. Clearly, if they were to fight a prolonged battle, it would be Daybreak who would be at a disadvantage. The other party wouldn’t be so stupid.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and shook his head.

He sorted out the thoughts in his mind.

No, there must be something wrong with this forest.

However, Qin Yuan could not figure out what the problem was.

Suddenly, the chirping of insects interrupted his thoughts.

Bugs chirping?

That’s right!

When they came out of the forest just now, they did not hear any sound!
