They spent more than half a day on this quest and finally reached this place after creeping over cautiously. If they just went back after drawing a map, then this will naturally not be befitting of Happy’s personality.
But what Happy did not expect was that Young Yu Yan seemed to have also had the intention of entering deep into the enemy rear since the start. She chose to stay without hesitation and continue searching for the supply route.
Xu Jun could only smile wanly in response to Happy and Young Yu Yan’s choice. He was not at all surprised by this, because they were indeed stronger than he was.
With their strength, they could do a lot of things at the back of the enemy lines, especially Chen Kai, whom he had ignored at the beginning. He had managed to notice the fact that lowering the brightness of clothes could reduce the rate of them being discovered, could think about only carrying out their quest at night, and even discovered the pelt that everyone else ignored to be used as their disguise.
Xu Jun did not suspect that if he followed Chen Kai, he will be able to find the supply point and obtain even more points.
But Xu Jun also knew clearly that with Chen Kai and Young Yu Yan’s skills, even if they could not fight against the enemies at the enemy rear, they could rely on their skills and equipment to break out. It will be worth it for them to take the risk, but if Xu Jun stayed, he will just be marching to his own death.
Once day arrived, the chances of being discovered was as high as the sun rising when morning arrived! The chances of him dying was just as high!
Once he died, his points will return to zero.
He dared not take the risk.
On this night, the trio parted ways.
Xu Jun stayed behind and waited for the map to be completed.
Happy and Young Yu Yan formed a temporary team. They took care of each other and continued moving forward.
At this moment, Happy still had not revealed his real identity.
There was no other reason for it. It was because he knew that once he revealed his identity, Young Yu Yan will definitely become a little dependent on him. This will go against her original goal, and it will be difficult for her to display her real strength.
But now, both of them did not have a deep understanding toward each other. They were only strangers who had just exchanged names and were party members. She still did not believe him and was wary of him. Naturally, when she fought, she could bring out their full power, and it will be easier for her to stimulate the potential hidden deeper within her.

On the plains under the starry sky, two figures quickly moved about sneakily. They will occasionally travel quickly, and sometimes slowly. Sometimes, they walked, and sometimes, they stopped. The map had been completed while they were traveling.

There’s still the last mission left in the quest. Just where is the supply route?
Young Yu Yan walked in front of Happy and mumbled to herself.
Happy, who was following her closely, suddenly tugged her sleeve.
She was shocked, and she turned her head around to see that Happy had already crouched down to make a shushing motion.
Hush!

Young Yu Yan looked warily in the direction Happy pointed, but she saw nothing.
That area was empty under the light from the stars, and not a single person could be seen.

Look carefully.

Happy did not make any explanations.
Young Yu Yan noticed something from Happy’s solemn and serious expression. She held her breath, focused, and swept across the area. She still saw nothing.
Right when she thought that Chen Kai was making a joke, she suddenly noticed that two small glowing spots appeared around 164 feet ahead of her.
They vanished just as quickly as they disappeared.
In an instant, Young Yu Yan swallowed her words, because she felt two pairs of eyes traveling to her direction. She stiffened up, and she felt a chill run through her body.

Reconnoiterers?


Yeah.

Happy nodded and verified Young Yu Yan’s judgment. He whispered into her ear,
Fortunately, I discovered him when he moved just now, or else…

At that moment, they were very close to the enemy’s main camp. In fact, they were already at the rear of the enemy camp. When he thought about how they will be exposed if the reconnoiterers fired a signal flare at night, the patrols will definitely be able to surround the entire region within a very short period of time.
When she thought of this, Young Yu Yan could not help but suck in a sharp breath. But soon, she calmed down her heart.

They seemed to have discovered us. What should we do now?

Her words made it clear that she was asking for Chen Kai’s opinion.
Chen Kai’s astonishing observation skills had discreetly earned him a bit of Xu Xin’s trust.

They shouldn’t be certain of our location yet. There aren’t a lot of stars at night, and their sight is largely limited. They should be able to be certain that we’re spies from China, but if we get any closer, we’ll definitely reveal our tracks.

Happy had actually relied on Nine Yang Divine Skill to discover those two hidden reconnoiterers. He did not want to die here, especially not die with Young Yu Yan.
That will be too embarrassing!

There are two choices.
Happy narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the hidden reconnoiterers not too far into the distance. He lowered his voice and said the plan he had already thought of since a long time ago,
We can circumnavigate those hidden reconnoiterers and continue to search for the supply route or alarm them of our existence. That depends on our goal.


What do you mean?
Young Yu Yan was stunned.

If your goal is to complete this quest and go back once you find the supply route, we can bypass them and continue searching for the supply route. If we want to gain more points, since there’s still some time before daybreaks, we can fight at night, because we have an advantage if we do so. We can get more points.
Happy’s calm and quiet words caught Young Yu Yan slightly by surprise.

Get more points?

Once she witnessed the Mongolian cavaliers’ strength, Young Yu Yan became incredibly careful and cautious. She believed that she could only kill at most one small squad of cavaliers twenty Mongolian cavaliers in one go, which was why she had her desire of fighting against the main cavalier unit fade away, but she did not expect that this person will be so bold, even though his equipment was so ordinary!
But what Happy said made sense.
There were not many stars tonight, and visibility was low.
Martial artists could see everything around them clearly if they poured their qi into their eyes, but that might not be the case for those Mongolian cavaliers. They will definitely come over with torches.
If they brought a lot of torches with them, it will lower the Mongolian cavaliers’ combat ability, and it can also divide the Mongolian cavaliers’ attention.
But if they brought only a few torches with them, all Happy and Young Yu Yan needed to do was to extinguish those torches.

At that time, are we going to farm our own points and not interfere with each other, or are we going to work together?

Young Yu Yan’s answer caused Happy to smile. She agreed to his plan to get more points.

Let’s work together. If we fight alone, the risk will be very high. If we have someone watching our backs, it will be much safer.

Naturally, Happy will not let Young Yu Yan leave her sight.
No matter how much he considered all possible scenarios, once something happened against his expectations and they ended up in danger, it will be very difficult for him to forgive himself.

Alright!
Young Yu Yan had no opinions about this.
The duo quickly became partners!

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right when the sounds of air being sliced rose, the reconnoiterers who were hidden in the dark were quickly alerted by two black figures who swiftly approached them. They lifted their pelts, and glaring signal flares instantly jumped into the dark sky.
The light from the signal flare shone and lit up a circular area that was as big as several miles. Everything within that area could be seen clearly.


Oh no!

Xu Jun had already completed the quest to draw the map when he sensed the abnormal red light ahead of him. He shuddered, and when he looked up, he saw the signal flare that lit up the night sky.

They’re discovered?!

The faces of the duo flashed in his mind, and an expression filled with a myriad of emotions appeared on Xu Jun’s face.
But soon, he noticed that the situation was bad. The two being exposed might affect him!
Xu Jun did not dare remain idle. He quickly summoned his steed, jumped on it, and rushed into the night at lightning speed.

At the spot where the signal flare was fired were three reconnoiterers’ corpses. They laid near the hole, and Happy as well as Young Yu Yan had grave looks in their eyes. They could already sense the thunderous rumbles coming from the distance on the quiet plains.
