"Hit the gong!"

Compared with Cao Xing, Hao Meng has more experience in tomb robbing. When encountering this situation, he quickly made a decision and immediately shouted to the guards around him, "This mountain forest is not big, even if there are stones and trees,

Block, the sound of the assembly gong should be able to spread throughout the small half of the forest. If our people are nearby, they will come to join us when they hear the sound of the gong. If someone comes, then it may be that I am being careless, but if

No one comes, then..."

Speaking of this, Hao Meng didn't know how to describe it.

Because he had never encountered such a situation in tomb robbing before, he naturally didn't know how to judge what situation he was encountering now.

"promise!"

The guard was also very panicked. He didn't dare to be careless at all, so he immediately took out the gong and struck it vigorously.

"Clang clang clang! clang clang clang!"

The sound of gongs soon sounded in the mountains and forests.

"The general summons you urgently, follow me to gather at once!"

As expected, a sound soon came from the nearby woods, and at the same time, the leader there also rang the bell he carried with him in response to Hao Meng's gong.

They often go out to dig graves and naturally have their own unique way of communicating.

at the same time.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

Similar responses appeared in other directions.

However, these ringtones are slightly farther away, far less than the group of people who can directly hear the voices.

"General, listen quickly, there are many responses!"

The guard finally breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Hao Meng with a look of surprise.

"Is it because I'm worrying too much? We just took too many detours and happened to pass by our people?"

Hao Meng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the guards around him, "Tell them not to assemble for the time being, and continue to do their business, and don't waste time."

"promise!"

The guard struck the gong again, but the rhythm was different from last time: "Dang-dang-dang! Dang-dang-dang!"

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

Responses soon came from several directions, indicating that the order had been received.

As such, Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others didn't think much about it. They sat there and rested for a while, chatting while patiently waiting for the soldiers' investigation results.

I sat like this for another half an hour.

"It's already been an hour, and I should have finished exploring the forest long ago. Why haven't I seen anyone sending a message to report?"

Hao Meng yawned, stood up and hammered his sore waist, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Similar to gathering gongs, if someone has completed their investigation, they will first use a specific ringing method to get in touch with nearby people, and then divide and combine them. In this way, a network will gradually be formed, and finally connected to Hao Meng for unification.

Report.

But until now, they haven't received any ringtones.

"The strange thing is that we have been sitting here for another half an hour and still have not met any of our people. Could it be that more than 30 groups of people still happened to pass by us? But this is too coincidental.

Have you had some?"

Cao Xingze brought up old matters again.

The response half an hour ago made them feel relieved, but the situation at the moment made them worry again. Yes, this was too coincidental. Could it be that they just happened to be sitting in everyone's blind spot?

?

"Zhong Yong is right. If they weren't all lazy, there would still be a lot of weirdness in this matter!"

Hao Meng suddenly woke up, and then shouted to the guards around him: "Strike the gong! Tell everyone to come to see me immediately, I want to see our people with my own eyes!"

"promise!"

"Clang clang clang! clang clang clang!"

The rapid sound of the gong sounded again, and the sound was even louder than before.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

The ringing bells also began to respond one after another. This time, two bells were very close to them. It seemed that they were only twenty or thirty feet away.

Hao Meng stood on tiptoe and followed the sound of the bell. He could vaguely see some looming firelights in the forest. They were naturally his men and horses. It was not that far away.

"Just wait, the nearest person can come to us in at most a cup of tea."

Hao Meng felt slightly relieved again.

However, he did not teach the soldiers to continue the investigation. To be cautious, he still wanted to gather the troops first before he could feel completely at ease, otherwise he would be as uneasy as he is now.

As a result, the time for a cup of tea passed quickly.

The time for two cups of tea has passed.

But still no one was seen coming to gather. Even when he stood up and looked at the firelight he had seen before, he could no longer find it, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

However, in the other two directions, a few faint flickers of fire appeared.
