The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 272 Counter-Ambush

"Keep digging for this prince, be careful, don't let them have any chance to take advantage of you!" Lin Congyun looked at his men and said in a deep voice.

Everyone responded in unison and continued digging.

With the previous lessons learned, everyone became much more careful this time and slowed down the digging speed.

Before long, the small hole was dug bigger and bigger, and it was big enough for one person to pass through.

Lin Congyun stared at the cave entrance, holding the whip tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

The subordinate standing by the cave entrance whispered, "Second Prince, how about sending someone to explore the way?"

Lin Congyun pondered for a moment, looked deeply into the deep cave entrance, and finally nodded.

"Okay, proceed carefully. If you see anything unusual, withdraw immediately."

The man responded, approached the cave entrance lightly, held a dagger in his hand, and cautiously poked his head out step by step.

However, just when he had half of his body sticking out, something strange happened!

A sharp arrow, accompanied by a strong wind, suddenly shot out from outside and went straight to the throat of the subordinate.

Lin Congyun had been staring at the cave entrance. All of a sudden, her wrist moved slightly, and the whip in her hand seemed to be given life, turning into a flexible silver snake that shot out like lightning.

With a crisp and sharp "snap", the whip shadow accurately intercepted a sharp arrow that was shooting towards it. The arrow drew a thrilling arc in the air, passing close to the neck of a panicked subordinate, and finally with a "swoosh", it disappeared into the darkness of the secret passage.

The man's face suddenly changed, as if he had experienced the cycle of life and death. His face turned pale and almost transparent, his eyes full of disbelief and relief for surviving a calamity.

He staggered suddenly and took a few steps back almost instinctively, away from the terrifying scene on the brink of death. His chest heaved violently and his breath was still unsteady.

"Second Prince, thank you for saving my life!" he said in a trembling voice.

"Be careful, those people outside are always paying attention to us." Lin Congyun glanced at him and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, there was a sudden shouting and screaming from outside, followed by countless sharp arrows pouring down like a rainstorm, densely shooting towards the cave entrance.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun hurriedly swung his whip and shot down the sharp arrows that were shot towards the cave entrance one by one.

However, there were too many sharp arrows, and even with her superb whip skills, some of them could not be avoided.

One of the men was unable to dodge and was shot through the shoulder by a sharp arrow, and he screamed in pain.

"Damn it! These bastards actually dared to plot against us. I'm going to fight them!" A hot-tempered subordinate roared, and wanted to rush out to fight with the people outside.

Seeing this, Lin Congyun quickly stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive. Since they dare to ambush us, they must be well prepared. If we rush out like this, we will only fall into their trap."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate retreated obediently even though he was unwilling.

Lin Congyun stared at the cave entrance, thinking quickly of a solution in his mind.

The people outside were obviously well prepared and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop. She had to come up with a foolproof plan to rescue Feng Lieyang and others.

"Second Prince, what should we do now?" A subordinate looked at Lin Congyun and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be anxious, let me think about it." Lin Congyun pondered.

She knew that she must not act impulsively. If she did, she would most likely fall into the other party's trap. Not only would she not be able to rescue Feng Lieyang and the others, but she herself would probably be implicated as well.

Lin Congyun took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then carefully analyzed the current situation.

Since the people outside chose to ambush, it means that their strength should not be underestimated, at least not weaker than theirs.

Moreover, since the other party dared to come, it meant that they must have made all the necessary preparations and were just waiting for them to fall into their trap.

Thinking of this, Lin Congyun couldn't help but frowned.

The situation is somewhat unfavorable for them.

"Second Prince, how about we go back and call for help?" one of his men suggested, "As long as we have enough manpower, we won't be able to break out!"

"No." Lin Congyun rejected the proposal without hesitation. "Not to mention that we don't have enough time, even if we do have enough time, we can't be sure if there are other ambushes on the way back."

"This..." The subordinate was speechless upon hearing this.

Lin Congyun was right. They were now deep behind enemy lines, and no one could guarantee whether there were other ambushes on the way back.

"Second Prince, what should we do now?" another subordinate couldn't help but ask.

"For now, we can only outsmart them, not fight them head-on." Lin Congyun's eyes flashed with a sharp light. If she hadn't brought these people with her, she could directly use the space to kill them.

"Outsmart? How to outsmart?" Everyone looked at Lin Congyun, their eyes full of confusion.

"Don't they want to ambush us? Then we will use their own tactics against them and set a counter-ambush for them!" Lin Congyun said in a low voice with a sneer on his face.

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all said in unison: "The Second Prince is wise!"

Then, Lin Congyun explained his plan in detail to everyone, and they began to act separately.

She selected several subordinates who were agile and had excellent acting skills, and whispered a few instructions to them. They all understood, and there was a flash of determination and firmness in their eyes.

Following a low command, these men acted quickly. They deliberately exposed themselves at the edge of the cave and pretended to be accidentally "hit" by the flying arrows.

In an instant, a series of rapid and realistic screams echoed in the cave. The voices were mixed with fear and pain, but they were measured and did not exaggerate the bloodiness.

"Ah——!" One of the men suddenly covered his left arm and staggered, as if he was really pierced deeply by a sharp arrow, and an expression of unbearable pain appeared on his face.

“Hurry, hurry and save me!” Another subordinate “stumbled” back into the cave, “wailing” and covering his non-existent wound with his hands. His appearance not only aroused pity, but also cleverly concealed their true intentions.

Lin Congyun stood aside, her face solemn, but with a cunning light flashing in her eyes. She added a few anxious shouts at the right time, adding a bit of reality: "Quick, find cover! Everyone be careful!"

This sudden change made the ambushers outside the cave mistakenly believe that they had succeeded. For a moment, the rain of arrows seemed to be even more dense and fierce, attempting to completely block any escape route from the cave entrance.

However, these are exactly the effects that Lin Congyun expected.
