Inside the convoy, Chen Xun cautiously observed the movements around him.

At this moment, the convoy was traveling on a hill.

A road was carved out of the hillside, flanked by snow-covered forests, a pristine white expanse.

This environment is perfect for an ambush.

But if you don't take this route, you'll have to walk around the entire hill.

Not only will the road need to be reopened, but the speed will also be greatly reduced, which may result in not being able to reach Ping An Town before dark.

Therefore, Chen Long decided to continue along this mountain path.

He simply asked everyone to remain vigilant to prevent a sneak attack.

Chen Xun has excellent eyesight. The enhancement from the Great Perfection Archery Technique allows him to clearly see the wings of insects flying hundreds of meters away.

Therefore, he has a strong ability to observe and can discover many details that ordinary people cannot.

Sure enough, when Chen Xun reached the mountainside, his pupils, which were looking around, suddenly contracted.

He saw a series of messy footprints.

Although it had been cleaned up, the traces were not obvious to others, but to Chen Xun, they were as conspicuous as fireflies in the dark.

Judging from those footprints, they were clearly made not long ago.

And there are a lot of them.

It was obvious that someone had ambushed Chen Xun and his group here.

Even though Chen Xun and his group were on guard, a sudden attack could still cause chaos and increase their losses.

Thinking of this, Chen Xun dared not be negligent.

He walked around to the other side of the oxcart and said to Chen Xu, "Brother Xu, I need to talk to Brother Hu about something, so I'll be leaving for a while."

"Okay, go ahead."

Chen Xu didn't say anything, just nodded calmly.

Then, Chen Xun walked quickly and soon arrived at Chen Hu's side.

"Chen Xun, what do you want?"

Chen Hu was also on guard around him. When he saw Chen Xun running over, he frowned and asked.

The next moment, Chen Xun's words made Chen Hu's expression change.

"Tiger, I've spotted signs of an ambush in the woods."

"Really? Where did you find it?"

Chen Hu asked hurriedly.

Chen Xun quickly reassured him, "Brother Tiger, calm down. Don't let the people lying in ambush see through our plan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu immediately realized his lapse in composure and quickly took a deep breath to suppress his panic and anxiety.

Then Chen Xun continued, "Brother Tiger, we need to tell Brother Long about this as soon as possible and see how he plans to handle it."

"Yes, yes, we need to tell my brother."

Chen Hu nodded quickly.

As he spoke, he pulled Chen Xun aside and went to find Chen Long to tell him about the matter.

Chen Long was much more experienced than Chen Hu. Upon hearing this, his expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm.

"Very good, Chen Xun, right? You did a great job. You've made a great contribution this time. I'll remember this merit."

"I'll give you a reward when we get back to Chenjiabao."

Chen Long made a promise to Chen Xun.

"Thank you, Brother Long."

Chen Xun quickly thanked him.

After thinking for a while, Chen Long revealed his plan.

"Although we have been ambushed, the fact that the enemy has not yet made a move is actually our opportunity."

"But we can't make a big fuss and alert our team members, as that would reveal that we already know about their ambush plan, and the enemy would probably make a move immediately."

"But if I gather a few strong team members and strike first, I can catch the enemy off guard."

"However, we do not know the enemy's exact location."

At this point, Chen Long looked at Chen Xun.

"Chen Xun, do you have a way to pinpoint the enemy's location?"

Chen Long looked at Chen Xun with some anticipation.

However, Chen Xun shook his head and said, "Sorry, Brother Long, I only discovered the traces they left behind by chance, and I can't pinpoint their current location."

Chen Xun only had extraordinary eyesight, not X-ray vision, so he naturally couldn't find the enemy's location hidden in the forest.

"Oh, I see. It's alright."

Chen Long looked somewhat disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and continued, "If we don't know the enemy's location, then we can only force them to show themselves and lose their advantage of a sneak attack."

"Then all we can do now is gather our team members, let the enemy know they've been exposed, and force them to show themselves."

Chen Long made a decision quickly.

"Chen Hu, go and get the other three team leaders. Tell them to quickly assemble their teams."

"Yes, brother."

As soon as Chen Hu finished speaking, Chen Long slapped him on the head.

"I've told you so many times, when you're out on a mission, you have to use your job title."

Chen Long glared at Chen Hu.

Chen Hu grimaced and scratched his head, saying somewhat aggrievedly, "Yes, Captain."

"That's more like it."

Chen Long nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Hu then hurriedly went to find the other three team leaders.

"Chen Xun".

"Captain, I'm here."

Chen Xun quickly replied.

"I heard you're quite good with a bow and arrow?"

"good."

"It either works or it doesn't. What do you mean by 'it's okay'?"

"Will it work or not?"

"OK."

"A man can't say no," Chen Xun quickly replied firmly.

"Alright, I'll give you a task."

"What do you say, Captain?"

"When the fight breaks out, you'll hide in the shadows and shoot them from the shadows."

"I will reward you with ten taels of silver for killing a Bull Skin Realm martial artist, twenty taels for a Stone Skin Realm martial artist, and fifty taels for an Iron Skin Realm martial artist."

Chen Long looked at Chen Xun and promised him a large sum of money.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun's eyes lit up.

Then, he asked a question that Chen Long hadn't expected.

"Captain, what about the Bone Forging Realm?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Long glanced at Chen Xun in surprise, then a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"Good lad, you have guts, daring to target someone in the Bone Forging Realm."

"Although I don't think you can kill a Bone Forging Realm expert, if you really can, I'll give you three hundred taels as a reward."

This number made Chen Xun take a deep breath. The cold air entering his lungs calmed his feverish mind.

"Understood, Captain."

After saying this, Chen Xun took his leave.

Soon, the entire oxcart procession suddenly became lively.

The warriors quickly assembled, while the oxcarts formed a circle to defend against the impending external attack.

"Oh no, they've spotted us."

In the forest, the enemy, who were preparing to launch a sneak attack, immediately became agitated upon seeing this scene.

Although the commotion was small, it still revealed their location.

"The enemy is here."

Chen Long had been observing his surroundings when he saw the snow on the treetops in a certain area of ​​the jungle shaking and falling.

They then guessed where the enemy was.

If Chen Long could notice it, then Chen Xun naturally noticed it as well.

The instant Chen Long shouted, an iron arrow, like lightning, traversed a distance of over a hundred meters and accurately struck an enemy.

"Ah!" A piercing scream rang out.

"It really is here."

A look of joy appeared on Chen Long's face, and then he shouted loudly, "Who are you people, daring to ambush the convoy of my Chen Family Village?"

"Hmph, what a load of crap Chen Family Village! Last time, they were beaten to a pulp by our Black Wind Stronghold."

A hoarse voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of martial artists emerged from the jungle.

There were three people in charge.

A scarred man, a one-eyed man, and a one-armed swordsman.

The person who spoke was the one with the scarred face.

"As expected, it's you Black Wind Thieves."

Upon seeing the enemy appear, they discovered that it was the Black Wind Bandits who had recently attacked the Chen family's caravan.

Chen Long's face was instantly filled with anger and murderous intent.

"Today, I will make sure you Black Wind Thieves stay here forever."

Chen Long roared angrily.

"Hmph, you, Chen Long, dare to clamor to keep us here by yourself? You're simply overestimating yourself."

"The one-eyed man mocked."

He is the third leader of Black Wind Stronghold; Scarface was the second leader before him.

"Enough with the nonsense. Since we've been exposed, let's kill them."

The one-armed swordsman is the fifth leader.

After saying that, he grabbed his knife and charged towards Chen Long.

With the one-armed swordsman leading the way, the other two leaders said no more, shouted "Kill!" and led the Black Wind Thieves to attack the Chen family warriors.

Soon, the two martial artists clashed.

Instantly, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams filled the air.

At this moment, Chen Xun was not on the battlefield, but hiding in the woods.

He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, aimed at his target, and then suddenly released the bowstring.

Without even checking whether the target was hit, they immediately changed locations.
