Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 116 Attack
After entering the center of the camp, Chen Chuan learned from the guide that this was only a parking place for logistical supplies and reserve personnel, and the real combatants were now all on the mountain.

He looked up and saw that the yellow-green mountain in front of him was about four or five hundred meters high. Although it was only February, a lot of weeds had already grown and the trees had sprouted new buds. From here, he could vaguely see human figures moving on the mountain.

As he was looking around, another employee of the client company came over and said respectfully, "Is this Expert Chen? I am Pan Zhong, the assistant of the Panshi Client Company. All the team leaders are waiting for Expert Chen upstairs. I wonder if Expert Chen is free to come over and have a chat?"

Chen Chuanshuo said, "Then I'll trouble Assistant Pan to lead the way."

"plz follow me."

Chen Chuan asked the driver Xiao Wei to wait downstairs, and he followed Assistant Pan up the mountain along a path that was opened up with tools. After walking along the slope for about a distance and then going around the mountainside, a relatively wide natural platform appeared on the back slope near the top of the mountain. There were also many tents here.

"Expert Chen is here." Someone greeted from afar.

Chen Chuan took a look and recognized that it was someone from the company that had commissioned the last time we dealt with the flying head monster, so he responded.

In fact, the commissioned companies are a circle. If you do a lot of commissions, you will always see some familiar people. Moreover, when dealing with similar matters, the Government Affairs Office also tends to give favors to familiar faces who have a better impression in the past.

At this time, many people came up to greet him. One client smiled and said, "We are waiting for Expert Chen to come. We can't handle this matter without you."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "You're welcome. The main contributors to this matter are all those present. I am just responsible for finishing it."

"Expert Chen is humble."

The clients present all laughed. People of Chen Chuan's age, who are capable and resourceful, usually have their eyes on the sky and are difficult to serve. The key is that there are always such people, which makes it difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Chen Chuan is not like that.

Many people here have seen with their own eyes how skillfully he handled the flying heads last time. He is very capable, humble, and knows how to take care of everyone's face. He doesn't eat alone. If he is not an expert, he must be an expert and must be praised!

A middle-aged man with a faint stubble on his chin stood up, extended his hand to him, and said in a mature and steady voice: "I am Gu Mingde from Panshi Company. Thank you for your support. I will be the leader of this team. Expert Chen, you are welcome to join us."

Most of these violent commissioned companies in Yangzhi City are old companies. Everyone knows that without a unified command, they will only compete with each other and hold each other back, and nothing will be accomplished. So when several commissioned companies join forces to do a delegation, they will divide the interests in advance. After all, there will be opportunities for cooperation next time.

You must know that if your reputation among your peers is bad, you will lose everything, because others will unite to boycott you and refuse to cooperate with you. After all, the entrusted company has close ties with the Yangzhi Municipal Government Hall and even the councilors.

Chen Chuan shook hands with him and said, "Please ask Mr. Gu, what is the current situation?"

"Commissioner Chen, please come here." Gu Mingde invited him to a marching tent that was large enough to accommodate a dozen people. In the middle of the tent was a long table with a partially enlarged map of the area on it. On both sides were a row of folding stools and various portable tools.

"Expert Chen, please take a look."

After entering, Gu Mingde moved the folding stool a little, pointed to the position at the bottom of the map, and nodded, "This is the hill we are on now." He moved up again and pointed to a hill in front of him, "This is Manshan, the straight-line distance is only seven or eight miles, very close, the stronghold we found is there.

We have asked someone to investigate. There are only about a hundred people in this village. In the innermost part is an old esoteric temple. Some people went there to take mountain products a few years ago. It was normal at that time. We don't know when all the villagers became believers of Feitou Sect.

This place is hidden deep and relatively closed off from the outside world. It may also be that the members are not clear-headed, so they are not very vigilant to the outside world, which is very beneficial for our actions.

Our plan is to launch an assault early tomorrow morning and try to take it down in one fell swoop. We know how to fight a living person, but this is the first time we have encountered such a strange thing as a flying head. Although the consultant has given us some precautions, I still want to ask Expert Chen if there is anything we should pay attention to?"

Chen Chuan thought about it and said, "The flying head monster will affect the mind and trigger the desires in the heart. Most people will go crazy, so we must try our best to control our emotions. Also, it is best to use people who have mastered the power to rush in front, so that they can resist a little stronger."

Gu Mingde nodded. This was consistent with what the consultant from the Government Affairs Office had told them, and they had also made certain preparations.

Chen Chuan added, "If Fei Tou shows up, I will handle it. Others should try not to get too close to avoid being affected." He pondered for a moment, "Did you mention there is an old temple there?"

"Yes, I don't know when it was built, but it's a stone building, very old." Gu Mingde gestured, and the assistant rummaged around and took out an old photo, motioning, "This one."

Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. Although the photo was old, it was taken quite clearly. It could be seen that it was a stone building that was very different from the Dashun style. However, it must have been rebuilt later, so it had a bit of local style.

He said: "Flying head monsters like this kind of ghost story, usually like to stay in relatively old places where sacrifices can be made for a long time. The altar should be in the temple. If so, it is good news. Flying head monsters usually don't go too far away from the altar. If there are enough sacrifices, they won't even come out on their own initiative."

He looked up and said, "Did you see any of the villagers offering sacrifices? Or any unusual movements?"

One person said: "We only know part of the specific situation on the mountain, but every day we can hear strange chanting and the sound of beating drums, which sound like the shaman dances in the mountains in the past. There are dances in the morning and evening, and each dance lasts a fixed period of about three quarters of an hour."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That should be the sacrifice." He looked at Gu Mingde, "Then my suggestion is that it is best to wait until the villagers are performing the sacrifice or launch the attack before it ends, because during the sacrifice, the flying head monster will generally not pay attention to other things, and that will be an opportunity!"

Someone said, "In this case, the original time may have to be postponed." Gu Mingde said decisively, "Then move it back. We'll listen to Expert Chen!"

Everyone present nodded. To be honest, even if the number of villagers and believers doubled, they would still not be enough for them to defeat. What they feared most was the incredible flying head. If there was a targeted method, they would not have to be so timid.

"Does Expert Chen have any other suggestions?"

Chen Chuan said solemnly: "The flying head is very likely to cause emotional and rational confusion, so when I deal with it, I hope you will stay away from it as much as possible. If you can block it in the temple, that would be the best.

But once it flies out of the temple, it will be difficult to deal with, so we must act quickly and end the battle outside while it is still enjoying the sacrificial food.

besides……"

He looked around and said, "The resistance of Feitou may be fierce. There is a high possibility that some of us may lose self-control, so you should be mentally prepared."

Everyone was filled with awe.

Someone said, "Last time, Expert Chen chopped off the flying head with one strike. We have also prepared a large net, darts, and ropes this time. Should they be useful?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It is very likely that it is just a flying head transformed from a human head. It can be driven away and destroyed by common means, but it is incomparable to a real flying head. It cannot be harmed by ordinary attacks and can only be dealt with by special means."

He looked at the map. "If we are sure that the root of everything is here, then I will go into the old temple alone. You will block the entrance and leave only a few people outside. The rest of you will retreat down the mountain as soon as possible and unblock it after I have dealt with it."

Gu Mingde asked some more details about Feitou, and then said, "Originally, I thought the situation was difficult to predict, but after getting the advice from Expert Chen, I feel a little more confident." He bowed solemnly to Chen Chuan, "But in the end, I still have to rely on Expert Chen."

Chen Chuan clasped his fists in return and said, "Sure."

After the discussion, everyone dispersed and Chen Chuan moved into a single tent arranged for him by Gu Mingde. He carefully wiped the Xuejun Knife, checked the guns and ammunition, did some daily breathing exercises, and when the time was almost up, he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, everyone began to gather. Although the original plan was cancelled, they still set off before dawn.

Several commissioned companies sent a lot of people this time, not counting the auxiliary personnel, there were probably more than fifty people. Because this operation was in the mountains far away from the city, they obtained temporary authorization from the Government Affairs Office. Everyone brought crossbows and guns, and even some smoke bombs were prepared.

Gu Mingde arranged the people into several groups, which were separated from each other and their movements were very covert. Although there were a lot of people, their movements were like fine sand flowing past, and it was difficult to notice them without careful observation.

Chen Chuan was assigned to Gu Mingde's group. He was wearing a yellow-green overalls, which were clothes for walking in the mountains and forests. They could protect against rain and scratches, but they were very breathable, not stuffy, and very concealed.

Fortunately, it is only February and the weather is still very cold. There are no snakes, insects or wild animals in the forest, so there is no need to apply any additional ointment.

After walking for nearly two hours, they arrived at the foot of the Barbarian Mountain. There was a hidden place here that had been explored in advance, but it could not be seen from above.

When they got here, except for those who needed to be on guard, everyone else started drinking water and swallowing nutritional paste.

Chen Chuan leaned against the mountain wall and looked at his watch. It was just past 6:30 in the morning. If there was any worship up there, it should have been at this time.

Sure enough, after a while, faint sounds came from above the Barbarian Mountain, along with strange drum and percussion sounds, and the singing was also very strange.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw that the second me showed some signs of virtualization, and he immediately said, "Be careful and hide!"

Gu Mingde reacted quickly and made a gesture. The people around him immediately lowered their bodies and hid themselves. After a while, a group of black spots were seen flying out from above, circling in the sky, and then flew back.

Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly. He could see clearly that it was a group of flying heads. Roughly estimated, there were nearly twenty of them. He had not expected that there would be so many flying heads. No wonder they had an impact from such a distance. And it seemed that the source of the flying heads must be here!

Gu Mingde gave him an inquiring look and he nodded.

Gu Mingde immediately turned to his assistant and said, "Send a message to the rear, tell them we have encountered a large number of flying heads, and that the strange story is here. Ask the rear to send more people to our side."

The assistant immediately took the transmitter out of the box, put on headphones and started sending messages.

Gu Mingde already knew that this was the best time to launch the attack, so he said, "According to the pre-set groups, don't panic, and move quickly. Do you understand?" After all the team leaders responded, he gave the order, "Everyone, go!"
