Bright!

Xu Ting's sudden voice made everyone silent for a moment, and Xu Lei was slightly confused:

"What do you mean no more?"

"The road we drove just now...has disappeared."

"disappear?"

"Yes, the road is gone."

At this time, Levi also pulled Xu Le's sleeve and whispered:

“I checked it with a scorpion, and there are indeed no traces of where it was before, and the trees are in the same condition.

This feeling is very strange. I don’t know if we have been moved or if the trees here have grown again. "

After hearing the news, Xu Le and mercenary Lao Wu, who were originally confronting each other, changed their expressions at the same time.

From the look of "I might kill you" to the look of apologetic, "I was too impulsive" look.

"It's my problem that I didn't take action, otherwise..."

Lao Wu had just opened his mouth to say something soft, but Xu Le turned out to be more ruthless. He apologized directly and made a gesture.

"I spoke harshly just now. I really shouldn't have. I'm sorry. I'd better let Captain Xu Lei handle the spoils."

Lao Wu squinted at the young warlock in front of him and smiled slightly:

"well."

Levi looked at Xu Le strangely. He didn't understand why Xu Le and the mercenary Lao Wu changed their faces at the same time.

"What's the situation? Did you two discuss it?"

Xu Le glanced at Lao Wu and shook his head slightly:

"The disappearance of traces is definitely not a natural phenomenon. This mercenary Lao Wu must have made the same judgment as me."

"Judgment? What judgment?"

"Be prepared to never go back."

"It's just that the road we came from is gone. Just open a new one and go back. Is it as serious as you said?"

"I also hope I made a mistake in my judgment, but I am a Red Moon Warlock."

There is no going back, at least for the time being. This was Xu Le's first reaction after hearing Xu Ting's report.

If the mission was abandoned according to the previous situation of being able to go back, he would definitely take a large part of the ghost bear corpse as a trophy.

After all, if you get 50% of the mission reward for two people + half of the level 3 polluter's loot in one morning, you can get at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

This can greatly alleviate a wave of funding problems.

So after learning that the mission was abandoned, there was no need for him to be polite to a temporary team of mercenaries, or even to Xu Lei.

But now the situation has changed, and it is really a hidden danger if the road traces disappear.

When no one can go back, the relationship between the two parties will become very strange.

Because their cooperation will continue.

So both Xu Le and Lao Wu knew that in the next period of time, they would have to maintain this fragile team relationship.

At least until it's clear whether they can go back, the two sides can't quarrel.

This is what caused the two people's attitudes to change at the same time.

The story of Liaozhai must continue, so the fox must put away his tail, and the Taoist priest must also put away his sword.

After finishing this conversation, Xu Le and Lao Wu unexpectedly agreed not to look at the ghost bear's body.

The corpse of the ghost bear that was so delicious just now was suddenly abandoned at this moment.

Before he is sure that he can return safely, carrying such a huge and heavy trophy can only become a burden.

The atmosphere in the team has returned to harmony, but Xu Lei, as the captain, knows very well that the two sides are just temporarily compromising.

"Xu Le's way of doing things has changed a lot. He was not so decisive before, nor was he so... like a mercenary." Xu Lei frowned.

"Isn't this a bad change?" Xu Ting asked.

"I don't know if it's good or not."

Mercenary Lao Wu had returned to Lao Qi at this time, and he asked in a low voice:

"Where are the six old people?"

Lao Qi looked at the direction they came from and was a little confused:

"I don't know. Is he trying to eat those two bear paws?"

"No, Lao Liu wouldn't be so unreliable at this time." Lao Wu shook his head.

"It's not long. You should be able to see our mark. Normally there shouldn't be no response at all. I feel something is wrong. How about I go take a look?"

"Okay, be careful. That warlock suspects me. Go back quickly."

"good."

At this time, Lao Wu and Lao Qi did not have the recklessness and wildness they had shown just now, but there was some cunning unique to mercenaries in their eyes.

She slowly backed away, heading in the direction of the mother and son bears.

Xu Le kept watching them from the corner of his eye. After confirming that Lao Qi wanted to leave the team, he quickly said to Levis:

"Brother Li, can you follow her?"

"Can."

…

At this time, in the bear's den, the "dead" mercenary Lao Liu slowly got up.

His head was flowing like mud, but soon, the rotten parts returned to their original state.

Lao Liu glanced at the bodies of the mother bear and her cubs on the ground.

After taking another look at the direction the team was leaving to make sure no one was coming, he chopped off the bear's paw with a knife.

After cutting off the bear's paw, Lao Liu actually took a bite of it alive.

It seemed that it was too fishy, ​​so I took out some seasonings and sprinkled some on it.

After taking a few bites, he wrapped the bear's paws and prepared to get up and follow Xu Lei's team.

"Even if it's only half of the corpse of a Level 3 polluter, it should still be worth a lot of money, ha!"

Squeak!

Some small sounds came.

Lao Liu stopped, pulled out the machete with a slightly squinted expression, then took out the barrel gun, cocked the bolt, and looked at the jungle on the other side.

"Who? Come out."

Squeak! After another period of fragmentation, a woman's voice appeared.

"Chaosheng, what are you doing?"

Chaosheng? No one has called this name for how many years... Lao Liu's mind was lost almost instantly, but as an old mercenary.

Adjusting one's own anima state is a compulsory course.

No matter who you are, it doesn't matter if your brothers and sisters die, as long as you don't die.

Anyone who blocks his way will die!

"What the hell, don't pretend to be a fool for me, who the hell are you?"

"Chaosheng, you shouldn't come to this place, leave quickly, it's dangerous here."

Looking at the woman he had longed for before him, Lao Liu fired the shot without any hesitation after warning her once.

boom!

The shotgun almost penetrated the opponent's waist and abdomen, and a large amount of blood sprayed on the ground.

The woman looked at Lao Liu affectionately and persuaded her again:

"Chaosheng, let's go quickly."

…

At this time, the mercenary Lao Qi who came to look for Lao Liu was kneeling on the ground holding his stomach. The moment she appeared, Lao Liu shot her.

"Fuck you, Wu Laoliu, you want to kill me?"

But Wu Laoliu seemed to be unable to hear her words. He was still loading bullets silently, as if he was preparing to fire the second shot.

At this moment, Lao Qi finally realized that something was wrong, and Lao Liu in front of her really wanted to kill her.

Press the button at the waist lightly and the dagger pops out.

Lao Qi grabbed the dagger and threw it out, instantly cutting through the air and stabbing into Wu Lao Liu's forehead.

But Wu Laoliu's forehead actually spread like mud, ignoring the attack, he suddenly rushed towards the mercenary Lao Qi.

The speed of this level 2 warrior is actually faster than level 3 Lao Qi.

Poof!

The sword pierced Lao Qi's calf and was sandwiched between two bones.

Lao Qi quickly took out his gun and shot Wu Lao Liu's body.

Bang bang bang!

But Wu Laoliu didn't care about this kind of physical damage. He put his barrel gun on Lao Qi's face.

"Wu Laoliu? Are you crazy?"

boom!

…

When the gunfire rang out, Xu Le and others stood up immediately, and he glanced at Levis.

"Brother Li, what's going on?"

Levis shook his head:

"Mercenary Seventh seems to be dead."

Xu Le was surprised.

"Dead? Tell me specifically."

"The scorpion followed Lao Qi back to the place where the female bear died. Lao Qi called Lao Liu, and then the surviving Lao Liu seemed not to recognize Lao Qi.

He shot directly at Lao Qi. After a fight between the two, Lao Liu killed Lao Qi.

One thing that is very special is that when Lao Liu was attacked by Lao Qi, because of the scorpion's perspective, I didn't see clearly how he avoided the damage.

But I think she should have hurt Lao Liu, but in the end she was pinned to the ground by Lao Liu and shot to death. "

Sure enough, Lao Liu was not dead, but he killed the mercenary Lao Qi... What was the situation?

"Are there any traces of that old man at the scene, such as blood stains or something like that?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. How come he didn't die when the ghost bear attacked him before? He didn't die even after being shot in the head? Fruit ability?"

As a level 2 warlock, Levis still has a certain understanding of the ancient Yinduo fruit.

When Lao Liu was killed just now, almost no one noticed anything was wrong, but Xu Le felt a little bit.

Fluctuations in fruit energy.

That kind of fluctuation belonged to Gu Yinduo's energy, which was very small, but he noticed it.

There was blood when Lao Liu was shot in the head just now, but it was very little.

A real headshot will definitely bleed a lot.

"If he has abilities similar to ghost mist or elemental fruits, he won't die if his head is shot."

The same goes for Xu Le himself who was shot in the head. As long as he was prepared, it would be difficult to kill them with physical damage.

"A very skilled method of faking death. It seems that this trio is a habitual offender. Will Tianrui Lifeng take care of this situation?"

"One-third of the mercenaries who come out cannot survive in Tianrui Lifeng, and the remaining two-thirds are the ones who really come out to make money.

These mercenaries are difficult to manage and have a certain element of lawlessness.

But don’t you think it’s strange that the seventh child died? They were fighting among themselves? "

Xu Le didn't understand Levi's question. There were only two bear corpses in that place before.

Just an ordinary jungle bear, not even a trophy.

Wouldn't something like this lead to internal strife?

"It doesn't feel like it. The mission has just begun. I can't figure out why they are fighting among themselves!"

"What do you say now? Remind them a few times?"

Xu Le glanced at Xu Lei and the others, then at the mercenary Lao Wu, and pondered for a moment:

"I must say it, but I can't say it in front of this old man. These mercenaries are too vigilant. Let's use a puppet to deliver the note."

"Pass the note?" Levis was a little surprised.

"Didn't you hand over a note when you were a child?" Xu Le looked at Levi's strangely.

“I’ve handed it over, and I’ve handed it over many times.”

"Oh!~Brother Li is so awesome. He is so experienced. He must have dated many girls in school. I am envious."

Levi's chest suddenly felt tight. He had indeed handed notes to others when he was young, but he had always handed them to others.

[Mercenary Lao Liu is not dead and is missing. Mercenary Lao Qi is dead, and the murderer is Lao Liu. 】

Levis wrote the note, placed it on the scorpion doll's pliers, and quietly handed it to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei's face became even more gloomy after seeing the content on the note.

He did not confirm the truth of the matter, but what was certain was that the female mercenary Lao Qi was not here. The situation of these three mercenaries was worse than he expected.

He walked up to the mercenary Lao Wu and asked calmly:

"Where are your people?"

At this time, Lao Wu was already frowning. It was obvious that the situation at this time had exceeded his expectations.

The sixth child was not found, and the seventh child was also lost.

"Lao Qi just went to the toilet."

"It's been a while."

The mercenary heard the doubt in Xu Lei's tone, and he made a decision immediately.

"You guys should go first. Anyway, the mission has been declared failed now, so don't worry about us."

Xu Le was very happy to hear that Lao Wu was leaving the team. I'm afraid this person's strength is not low, and he is a savage, and there are rivals on both sides.

He couldn't feel at ease with such a person among the team.

As for more drastic measures...that's not possible at the moment.

Xu Lei didn't have any objections when he saw that Lao Wu was leaving the team. From the note just now, he had already guessed some things.

It is indeed risky for such people to remain in the team.

"Since you want to choose to stay and wait for someone, let's leave first. The car won't wait for anyone. You can figure it out yourself."

"Think it through, you go first."

"good."

Leaving the team peacefully with this mercenary was also a good thing for Xu Lei.

"Okay, everyone should stop resting. Xu Ting will continue to explore the road. Please ask Levi's Warlock to continue the investigation."

"no problem."

After Lao Wu left the team, the team started running again.

They walked in the direction they came from.

The traces left by Xu Ting's knife on the trail were no longer visible, so she had to re-open the path.

Although the previous road is gone, the team members are in good condition at this time, and it shouldn't take too long to return.

But this time, they had been walking for almost 30 minutes, and their walking speed was faster than before, but they still didn't see the end of the jungle.

"Stop."

Xu Lei raised his hand and took out his compass.

Their mission direction is south, so as long as they go all the way north, they should be able to get out of the jungle.

But when Xu Lei looked at the compass, he found that the pointer was completely upside down and they were walking south.

"What's going on? Xu Ting, are you going the wrong way?"

As the team's pathfinder, Xu Ting will have a big responsibility if she goes in the wrong direction.

She also took out her compass and took a look, and found the same problem.

"When I looked just now, it was clearly in the north. How could I make such a mistake?"

Facing her brother's questioning, Xu Ting was a little dissatisfied, but she really didn't know why the direction was reversed at this time.

"I really wasn't mistaken."

"Okay, let's all calm down. Calm down."

Xu Lei felt that his mood just now was not right, and asked his sister to calm down.

Now that he has no intention of going out, Xu Le also shakes his head slightly.

Levis on the side was a little excited. He looked at Xu Le and praised:

"You really can't go back? Wow, Xu Le, your mouth seems to have been opened!"

Xu Le:......

"I take it as a compliment from you."

Xu Le took out the Guyinduo card. Before he could draw the card, that hazy sense of destiny appeared.

Xu Le gave up the original idea of ​​directly turning over the cards, but instead injected Gu Yin Duo's spiritual energy and started a formal Gu Yin Duo destiny divination.

"Will I make it out of this jungle safely?

Techniques - all - ancient sounds and many secret words. "

[Black Card-Forest]

Endless forest, inextricable place, mystery

Front: A place that cannot be walked out of, a fog, a dilemma.

Opposite: Resources.

"A dilemma that we can't get out of? This place is not easy to deal with."

This time, the forest card was very clear, without the hazy feeling of fate, which meant that they were really in trouble at this time.

A dilemma from which there is no way out.

Xu Le raised his hand and suggested to Xu Lei:

“I thought we could leave a line on the ground with something more visible.

This method is a bit stupid, but the probability of error will be relatively small.

Now that we've decided to abandon the mission, we might as well spend some more time getting out of this weird jungle. "

Xu Lei nodded, Xu Le's method was indeed a stupid one, but it was indeed effective.

He was just about to praise Xu Le and then go to assign tasks.

But he saw that Li Qingcheng actually held Xu Le's hand again. The two of them stood there with their heads lowered and whispered, somewhat shy and sweet like young people.

But Xu Lei frowned, protecting Li Qingcheng was his mission.

Li Qingcheng and Xu Le mixing together was something that was not allowed many years ago.

Xu Le finally came back. If this continues, he will definitely be driven away again, so he yelled at Xu Le:

"Xu Le, please calm down. It's during the mission now. Have you forgotten everything from the past?"

Xu Le was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Guyinduo card in his hand, with question marks on his face.

Am I a Red Moon Warlock? Can't you even play cards?

What did I forget?

He felt strange when he saw Xu Lei's expression of hatred. He was fine just now. What happened?

Not only him, but also Xu Ting, Li Qingcheng and the other two team members felt strange.

Why did the captain suddenly look very angry?

The only one who didn't feel strange was Levi next to Xu Le.

He poked Xu Le with his elbow and said nervously:

"You haven't gone out yet. You should really restrain yourself. Okay, okay, don't be sarcastic. I know I'm not as good as you when it comes to finding women."

Hearing what Levi said, Xu Le had more question marks on his face.

Red Moon Warlock can't even play cards anymore?

He just cut the cards and divined them on the spot. Why should he restrain himself? What woman? What the hell? what are you guys saying?

Xu Le suddenly calmed down when he saw Levi's mysterious face and Xu Lei's dissatisfied look.

wrong.

Something is wrong.

Is it their fault?

Or am I wrong?
