” What?!”

“What happened?”

Upon hearing these terrifying words, the nearby soldiers all looked over.

There was nothing unusual in the dense canopy.

“There’s someone up there!”

the soldier repeated.

“Where is there someone? I didn’t see it!”

a soldier asked curiously.

At this moment, before his voice could completely stop, a rapier suddenly fell from the treetops and struck the man between his eyebrows.

With a muffled groan, the soldier fell to the ground.

The few people beside him saw everything and were shocked. There was indeed something on the top of the tree!

It was just that he did not know if it was a human or something else!

This shocking scene was reflected in the eyes of the Daybreak soldiers nearby!

Facing such a sudden fear, Daybreak’s soldiers didn’t dare to go up to the top of the tree to check on the situation. They all stood rooted to the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly.

All the soldiers began to panic. They raised their heads to check if the treetops above their heads were safe!

“This forest is really strange! First, the transparent swamp below, then the strange attack from the top of the tree!”

The soldiers felt that their surroundings were not safe, and the atmosphere in the team began to become tense.

Di Daozhang also understood that they were in a very dangerous situation, so his eyes revealed a solemn expression.

However, as the commander of the team, he definitely could not show a panicked expression. Even if he was surrounded by danger, he had to be calm and play a role in uniting the team.

With a stern expression, he shouted to the nearby soldiers,

“Everyone! Pick up the weapons in your hands and attack the top of the tree. There must be something on it. Otherwise, they won’t be able to attack us!”

“In the face of danger, counterattack is the best defense!”

After saying this, it was indeed very effective in raising the morale of the soldiers.

The panic that permeated the air earlier had clearly dissipated.

The soldiers followed Di Daozhang’s method and fired at the hidden threats on the trees, but they did not achieve any substantial results.

However, due to the attacks of the Daybreak Army soldiers, the hidden weapons did not stop. Instead, they were fired even more violently, continuously shooting sharp thorns at the trees, stabbing the Daybreak Army soldiers.

Instantly, a large group of Daybreak soldiers received a storm-like attack. Unable to withstand it, they fell into the swamp.

“F * ck, what is this thing!”

The soldiers complained incessantly.

Di Daozhang was filled with regret. He had not expected that this was a trap set by the other party and that he had been deceived by the other party!

Di Daozhang was annoyed, but there was no time for him to catch his breath.

He could only give the order immediately.

“Everyone who can still move now! Immediately get down from the tree and move around the trunk at the root of the tree, away from the top of the tree!”

Upon receiving the order, all the Daybreak soldiers immediately began to move according to his method.

In the end, through their efforts, a portion of Daybreak’s soldiers managed to escape.

As for the other soldiers, they were still a step too late. Half of them had already been shot by the spikes in the traps that had just been activated and were sent into the swamp.

By the time they reached the roots, the number of people had already been reduced to more than 200!

“It’s already a blessing that we managed to escape! This forest is really too f * cking strange. Let’s hurry up and leave this place!”

Daybreak’s soldiers were extremely afraid of this forest and did not want to stay here for a moment longer.

“It’s not like we haven’t been here before. After all, this is our Daybreak’s territory. However, the situation before and now is completely different!”

A soldier asked in confusion.

Di Daozhang understood that this was their territory. Although they weren’t very familiar with this place, they would still pass by this place from time to time. However, today’s situation was too strange!

However, Di Daozhang didn’t have time to think about this. His primary goal now was to lead the team out of the forest.

According to their previous calculations, although they couldn’t see the border of this forest at a glance, they had walked through it a few times and had a rough understanding of the route here. Normally, they had already walked about half the way.

So far, they had only traveled half the way, but they had already lost half of their troops. Di Daozhang felt a heartache. Not to mention that they would be scolded by Dong Zhejun when they returned, it was still unknown whether they could leave the forest alive!

The extent of this loss had far exceeded his expectations!

However, they had no way out. Next, they had to continue moving forward until they found a way to survive!

The second half of the journey in the forest was relatively safe.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during the rest of the journey. After stumbling and marching, they finally left the swamp and the terrifying forest. They were only a few hundred meters away from the exit of the forest.

The time they spent was much less, and the soldiers of the sixth team had a smooth journey.

After walking for a few more minutes, they were only a few dozen meters away from the exit.
