The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

To find a needle in the pond, the only way Xu Lai could think of was to take a powerful magnet and sweep it along the pond little by little.

As long as you don't miss any corner, you can find the needle again one day.

Now, the magnet Xu Lai needed appeared. The witch's transformation into an eagle did not improve her attributes much, but the difference between a human and an eagle was absolutely different.

The eyesight of an eagle that can soar in the sky cannot be improved, but this data does not directly affect the battle, so it is not mentioned.

The only trouble now is that the witch is not a real person and cannot go on her own. She must be led by someone.

Xu Lai can set the investigation path for her, but he currently has no relevant skills and does not know spells, so he cannot set the investigation path to a place outside his field of vision.

Therefore, Xu Lai still cannot sit back and enjoy the success, and must cooperate with the witch.

It was impossible for him to go out alone. Even if there was a witch who could transform into an eagle, Xu Lai was unsure and had to take Su Ya with him.

So they stayed in the camp for a while. Xu Lai personally checked and confirmed that there were no encounters either in the camp or the logging team, and then set off with Su Ya, Witch and his four shooting guards.

Xu Lai divided the area around Gram into 36 large super sectors with Gram Village as the center and 10 degrees as the angle.

When he entered the village in the morning, Xu Lai observed carefully. The traces of battle and blood stains basically appeared at the gate of the village, which was at the diagonal lower corner of Xu Lai's camp.

Gram Village does not have just one entrance and exit. In fact, Gram Village has a total of 4 entrances and exits, with the largest entrance at the front and rear.

There are a large number of people going out at the front entrance and the back entrance. Outside the front entrance is the farmland of Grame Village, and behind is the pasture of Grame Village. There are also small doors on both sides. Outside the door are the vegetable fields of many families.

Therefore, if the wolves want to attack the village, they do not have to attack from the main entrance.

Moreover, Xu came and got a message from chatting with the village chief before coming. Although the village was attacked by a pack of wolves last night, the cattle, sheep and horses they raised could not go hungry, so they were still taken out to graze early in the morning.

This shows that at least most of the village chiefs and herdsmen believe that the rear of the village is safe enough.

In addition, the village chief Laqi himself said that this was not the first time that his village had been attacked by wolves, so Xu Lai had reason to believe that this was not a trap set by the wolf king Nao Shizi, otherwise it would not have been triggered until he arrived. .

At the same time, Village Chief Laqi must have led the villagers to search many times during the day, so the wolves would not be too close to the village, otherwise there would be no need for the Village Chief to ask Xu Lai.

Taken together, Xu Lai believed that the wolves should hide on the other side of the river. Lazi and the others thought that the wolves would not cross the river to attack, so they ignored it. Or the other side of the river was too far, and Lazi and others did not dare to stay away from the village, so there was no way to proceed. search.

You know, Gram Village is different from Xu Lai's camp. His camp is near the water, but Gram Village is far away from the river.

The problem is still the same. The grasslands are too lush. There are so many carnivorous groups like prairie wolves. Living near the water, you never know when they will be targeted by carnivores.

In addition, Graem Village has a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses. It is very troublesome to feed these guys water. If they fence the river, it will take half a day for these animals to drink water.

It is better to stay a little further away from the river and make enough space for the cattle and horses to drink water freely.

On the other hand, the only nearby grassland is this river. If Gram Village, which is located upstream, is directly adjacent to the river, then other villages downstream will use the foot-washing water of Gram Village. How can others agree to it?

Besides, there is abundant groundwater near the river. A few wells in Gram Village will be enough to provide water, so there is absolutely no need to cause this public outrage.

Based on these considerations, Xu Lai set the main investigation direction on the other side of the river, so that most of the large circle was directly excluded, greatly reducing the workload.

Limited by Xu Lai's own field of vision, the distance the witch can fly at one time will not be too far, about two to three kilometers.

Xu Lai was not in a hurry. If he couldn't find it within two or three kilometers, he would look for it after crossing the river. If he couldn't find it within 5 or 6 kilometers, he would doubt his own reasoning and search the previously excluded areas.

The river cut the circle like a diagonal line. The original 36 sectors became 18, and the search work instantly became easier.

Xu Lai also started to collect stones by the river, built a small bonfire, killed the fat fish in his backpack one by one, strung them up and put on seasonings.

It's called seasoning, but it's actually just salt, but salt is the king of flavors. Even if it's just a layer of salt, it tastes more delicious than yesterday's fish soup.

Xu Lai, who has long been accustomed to being a low-class person, has never regarded himself as some big shot or some bullshit hero. Master, he doesn't care at all.

He took matters into his own hands, asked Su Ya to sit down, and barbecued for them himself, even though those behind him were just so-called monsters with no independent personality at all.

It doesn't take long for a witch to patrol a sector back and forth. After transforming into an eagle, she can easily fly hundreds of meters with a few flaps of her wings.

It only takes a few minutes to look at each sector bit by bit.

In order to allow the witch to detect clearly, Xu Lai asked her to fly relatively low. While grilling the fish, she stared at the sky intently, fearing that other large predators would appear.

Before lunch was finished, a huge gray eagle roared down from the sky, and when it was about to land, it slowly slowed down and landed next to Xu Lai.

What is incredible is that this gray eagle can still speak:

Master, I found three wolf packs on the other side of the river. The group due west has about 20 wolves. I found 12 adult wolves and 6 young wolves.

The northwest area is smaller and the total number should be less than 20. 8 adult wolves and 6 young wolves were found.

The number of wolves in the southwest exceeds 20. I found 15 active adult wolves, two advanced wolf kings, and ten prairie wolves lying together to rest. There was no way to tell whether they were adult wolves or young wolves.

The witch's report was so clear that even Xu Lai didn't expect that she could distinguish between the young wolves and the adult wolves in the wolf pack.

Of course, she should have judged based on her body shape, but her indifferent tone seemed extraordinarily calm, which convinced Xu Lai.

Xu Lai was originally a little worried about whether his approach would be useful, but he didn't expect that in just one meal, the witch had already found three wolf packs.

Thank you for your hard work. Let's rest and eat first. Xu Lai did not let the witch change back to human form. After all, transforming into an eagle consumes 100 mana points. If the real target cannot be found this time, all the witch's mana will be used. Transformed.
