304: The team leader met and decided to form an alliance.
Once Jiang Chuan's trap was set, the next step was to lure the target into the pot.
He did not know where the warriors attacking them currently were, so he could only wait and see how things developed.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, he would draw their fire and wait for them to enter the trap; only then would he be able to kill them.
Swish, swish, swish!
Jiang Chuan was currently hiding in a patch of grass by the riverbank when he suddenly heard the sound of someone moving nearby.
He instantly became alert, gripping the wooden spear in his hand, ready to throw it and kill the person immediately.
"This is?"
When the person emerged from the grass, Jiang Chuan clearly saw his face.
He had not expected the person to be his former Captain of the Law Enforcement Team.
"Captain."
Jiang Chuan walked out and shouted loudly.
"Hmm?"
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team heard the voice, immediately turned around alertly, pointed his weapon toward Jiang Chuan, and relaxed his guard only after clearly seeing Jiang Chuan's appearance.
"Why are you here participating in the Divine Envoy Assessment?"
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team looked at Jiang Chuan with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Some changes have occurred in the Eastern Region.
A new Lord Thiên Zhǔ has arrived, and this Lord Thiên Zhǔ instructed me to come and participate in the Divine Envoy Assessment."
Hearing the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team's words, Jiang Chuan did not hide anything and directly explained the changes in the East.
"I see."
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team nodded upon hearing this, showing no great surprise.
After all, he had already heard about the changes in the Eastern Region; he was merely curious about Jiang Chuan's arrival here, nothing more.
"Captain, are you alone?"
Jiang Chuan looked at the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team and asked him.
"Yes, I wanted to meet up with others, but I ran into Roadblockers and had no choice.
I planned to come to the river to drink some water, as the water I brought is no longer enough."
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team smiled, nodded, and replied to Jiang Chuan.
"Brought water?"
Jiang Chuan looked at the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team in confusion upon hearing his words.
"You don't know about this?"
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team looked at Jiang Chuan, who was holding a wooden spear, and gazed at him with doubt.
"No.
Captain, could you tell me about it?
I don't understand the situation here at all."
Jiang Chuan nodded, then spoke to the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team before him.
"Alright.
After I fetch the water, let's find a hidden spot, and I'll tell you about the situation here."
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team smiled and agreed to Jiang Chuan's suggestion.
Since the two of them could meet, it meant they were fated.
More importantly, Jiang Chuan was someone he knew and was familiar with.
Dealing with the Roadblockers together would make passing the Divine Envoy Assessment easier.
After the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team finished collecting water, he left with Jiang Chuan and headed to a cave Jiang Chuan had found.
The location of this cave was extremely secluded, covered by surrounding vines; if one wasn't careful, they wouldn't notice this place at all.
"Captain, are you all allowed to carry these things?"
Jiang Chuan saw that the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team was carrying a rifle, a pistol, a canteen, a dagger, and other items, and couldn't help but ask.
"Did the Lord Thiên Zhǔ who called you to participate not tell you about this?"
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team couldn't help but ask, seeing that Jiang Chuan only had the wooden spear in his hand.
"She didn't tell me specifically; she just told me to prepare.
I thought she meant for me to instruct someone to quickly replenish the members of the Law Enforcement Team, and I didn't think this far ahead at all."
Hearing the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team's words, Jiang Chuan laughed bitterly.
Who knew that the preparation she mentioned meant preparing these weapons and necessary supplies?
"Alright."
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team chuckled, shook his head upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, and hadn't expected this Lord Thiên Zhǔ to be so unconventional.
"Since you haven't brought anything, I can only tell you a bit about this assessment."
"Understood.
Thank you, Captain."
Jiang Chuan immediately thanked him upon hearing the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team's words.
"There are twenty people participating in this Law Enforcement Team assessment.
Among them, there are one thousand Roadblockers tasked with intercepting us on our way to that mountain.
Their goal is to kill us.
Of course, if we truly prove to be too weak and not a single person manages to reach the mountain, the Roadblockers will kill all of them."
"Naturally, the only way for us to survive is to reach that mountain."
"Furthermore, this group of Roadblockers has support from headquarters.
They possess various weapons and resources, meaning they don't need to be constantly vigilant while simultaneously searching for food to maintain their stamina, unlike us.
They also carry a device that can detect our location.
As soon as we are within three hundred meters of them, they can pinpoint our exact location.
As for why these fellows can detect their location, I don't know for now; the Lord Thiên Zhǔ I know didn't tell me either."
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team told Jiang Chuan everything he knew without any reservation.
"Captain, can we kill these Roadblockers?"
Hearing the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team's words, Jiang Chuan gained a rough understanding of the situation, then looked at the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team before him and asked.
"Yes, provided you can kill them."
"After all, these Roadblockers are very cautious.
Every time they move, there are at least fifty of them.
We only have one or two people.
It's already quite good if we can escape them; trying to kill them is extremely difficult.
Even if we manage to kill them in the end, we might also be killed by them, which is not worth the loss.
Therefore, most participants in the Divine Envoy Assessment avoid the Roadblockers and try to reach the mountain as quickly as possible.
As long as we reach that mountain, we can successfully survive."
The Captain of the Law Enforcement Team immediately gave a wry smile and explained, upon hearing that Jiang Chuan intended to deal with the Roadblockers, advising him against it.
Although those guys were not as strong as them, their ability to detect their location made it very difficult to ambush them.
Even if an ambush succeeded, unless they immediately took the enemy's supplies, the supplies of the killed Roadblockers would either be taken by others or simply destroyed.
"Captain, I've prepared a trap, and I intend to kill some Roadblockers.
Would you like to cooperate with me?
As long as we obtain the supplies in the hands of the Roadblockers, we won't need to worry about resources, and even if we take a detour and go a bit further, we can still successfully reach that mountain."
Hearing the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team's words, Jiang Chuan ultimately revealed the existence of the trap, asking him with a serious expression.
