Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 276 Executing the Infiltration (Daily Written Version)

After assigning combat tasks to everyone, Huo Yuhao clapped his hands.

"Alright, everyone get moving! It's 1 a.m. now. We'll try to reach the combat position before 2 a.m. and launch the attack at 3 a.m. This time close to sunrise is when people sleep the deepest. Go out and check your equipment. Get moving!"

Everyone acted according to Huo Yuhao's command. Wang Yan looked at his student with pride in his eyes. When he first met Huo Yuhao a few years ago, Huo Yuhao was just a little guy who was about 1.4 meters tall.

In just three years, he has grown into a leader capable of leading the inner court students in carrying out complex combat missions.

Huo Yuhao divided the team into four parts. He, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen each led a team to act as observers, while the breakthrough team was composed of three other inner court students, and the firepower team was composed of Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou.

The rest of the group, led by Dai Yueheng, blocked the tunnel exit, ready to play whack-a-mole. If anything went wrong and some bandits tried to escape through the tunnel, they would be met with Dai Yueheng's dog-beating team, who would then give them a good beating.

"Everyone will receive three Moon Concealment Buddha Candies this time. Sit cross-legged and bite the candies to obtain the power of Moon Concealment. Be careful, you will suffer a lot of pain during the process of obtaining the power of spirit summoning, so please bear with it and don't make a sound."

Huo Yuhao gave each member of the three combat teams three pieces of Buddha candy and gave them a few words of advice.

"The sniper team came here to collect kerosene and fire extinguishing powder. If too many bandits come out of the tunnel, pour the kerosene on them and set them on fire. Our goal this time is to leave no one alive."

After distributing all the necessary items, Huo Yuhao nodded in relief.

"Alright, let's go. Everyone connect to the mental communication network and maintain communication silence. Let's go."

Huo Yuhao shared his mental detection, bringing in more than a dozen people. Each member of the inner courtyard took one person with them and flew towards the entrance of the Mingdou Mountain Range.

Because they had scouted the location beforehand, the fourteen people made an exceptionally smooth journey. Huo Yuhao and the others were like fourteen elusive ghosts, leaving no trace behind.

During the journey, Huo Yuhao also took the time to explain the techniques for traversing the dense forest to everyone.

"The Mingdou Mountains are located in the southern part of the continent, so it is frighteningly hot all year round. There are many poisonous insects in the mountains. In the future, when you no longer have my mental detection, you must be careful to avoid such places to avoid being bitten by the small insects that may be lurking there."

After leading everyone around, Huo Yuhao's mental fluctuations reappeared: "Everyone, remember, just because a path is not visible to the naked eye does not mean it doesn't exist. Many beast paths are invisible to the naked eye, but they actually have many characteristics that you need to look for carefully. This will help us save our precious energy."

"This is the same principle as observing the enemy when making close reconnaissance."

"The observer's line of sight must move slowly enough to detect and confirm a sufficient number of enemy targets;"

"Let me give you an example. For you, you might think right now that you're looking for a bandit dressed in tattered clothes and carrying a crossbow."

"However, if you use such standards to look for your target, you will never find your target in your entire life, or you will miss countless dangers."

"The correct approach is to identify the target by its telltale signs, such as the reflection of a storage ring, an exposed crossbow head, a clear footprint, or a still-burning cigarette butt."

"People are not the target you need to search for; the 'signs' of human existence are."

After leading everyone to the enemy's location and confirming the use of the first pre-prepared entry, combat, and evacuation plan, the three assault teams sat cross-legged and took Moon Concealment Candy.

For a squad that was just getting started with individual combat techniques, they did a pretty good job. Combined with the individual skills of the members, the mission was practically flawless.

With the help of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, Huo Yuhao had already divided his mental communication into groups.

Ensure that communication between the three squads does not interfere with each other; only the observer in position three can send mental energy fluctuations to themselves.

Silently, the nine men climbed down the hillside from the side and then continued to move north, taking five minutes to reach the infiltration position marked on the combat map.

"Group four is in position."

A fluctuation of Dai Yueheng's mental energy was transmitted.

"Roger that. Maintain tactical silence. We are about to proceed with the infiltration."

Huo Yuhao signaled Chen Zifeng to advance, as he was the assault soldier for the third group.

As they quickly entered the cave, Huo Yuhao's mental energy fluctuations were felt.

"Number One, the patrol team at the first bend of the Long Snake Pass will arrive at your location in half a minute. Crouching down along the right-hand barricade will effectively conceal you. Be careful to hide yourself while clearing the area and don't make any noise."

"receive."

As the breakthrough player, Chen Zifeng summoned the Soul-Chasing Sword and waited for the patrolling enemies carrying torches to pass by his position before beheading the last person with a single blow. He held the enemy's corpse with one hand and caught the enemy's head, which was about to fall to the ground, with his left hand.

At this moment, He Caitou, who was in the second position, also showed his ruthless side. At the same time as Chen Zifeng made his move, he twisted the neck of the enemy holding a crossbow next to him.

"The smell of blood is very strong inside the cave, but if possible, we will try to minimize the amount of blood spurting."

"receive."

"Keep pushing forward, groups one and two, follow us."

The group continued forward silently and soon arrived at a fork in the long, serpentine passage. The passage on the left was a relatively spacious open area where many henchmen were lying, while the right side was the main path.

"The second patrol team won't arrive for at least five minutes. One team will come to help, and the second team should remain on guard."

Sneaking into the tunnel, Huo Yuhao drew his White Tiger Dagger and walked for about a minute before reaching the first bandit. The others followed suit, trying not to make a sound. Only after all six were in position did Huo Yuhao begin his attack.

His movements were so gentle that it was as if the person in front of him was not a vicious bandit, but a fluttering feather.

Under mental detection, Huo Yuhao easily found the gap between the enemy's rib corner and the fifth rib. He then gently covered the enemy's mouth and nose, inserted the White Tiger Dagger into the gap between the ribs, and twisted it gently.

The sharp White Tiger Dagger pierced through the skin instantly, passed through the gap in the ribs and penetrated the heart, before being shattered by Huo Yuhao's twist.

The enemies on the ground only groaned weakly twice before falling silent. The others followed suit with similar ease, and after repeating this several times, the bandits in the entire small cave were completely wiped out without a sound.
