Start a mysterious island

"This bug is so disgusting." Lin Li subconsciously took two steps back and said in disgust.

After the ugly black bug crawled out of Cao Yi's nostril, his body began to tremble, then twisted several times, and rolled down to the grass motionless.

Lin Li picked up a branch and stirred the ugly bug a few times, but found that no matter how he stirred it, it didn't respond.

"Pfft."

The branch pierced the insect's body, and light green liquid flowed from the wound.

Even with all this damage, the ugly bug showed no reaction at all.

"died."

Lin Li looked at the dead Cao Yi and Chongzi, frowning slightly.

"Which bastard ordered this guy to attack me?"

Originally, he wanted to ask Cao Yi about the person behind the scenes, but now that the clues have been cut off, Lin Li couldn't figure out the reason even if he tried hard.

"well."

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't waste those brain cells. Get the things on hand first..."

Lin Li sighed, then adjusted his mentality and put the troubles behind him.

"Peng."

A huge fireball quickly condensed into shape, and then flew towards the dead Cao Yi.

Within a short while, Lin Li completely eliminated the enemies that sneaked up on him, and then he picked up the trophies left at the scene.

"The workmanship of this dagger is very exquisite. If you sell it, it should be worth a lot of money." Lin Li looked at the trophy with a smile, then turned and headed to where his teammates were.

…………

Rongcheng.

In a luxurious villa, the stooped Qin Liuhe was looking through documents in the study.

Suddenly, a light golden aura appeared between his eyebrows, and then disappeared in an instant.

"hiss……"

Feeling pain, Qin Liuhe put down the document in his hand and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

"Something happened to Cao Yi?"

Qin Liuhe's face was solemn. He got up from his chair and came to the bookshelf.

He reached out and pushed open the bookshelf, and a safe mounted on the wall appeared in front of him.

This alloy safe was custom-made and extremely strong. It was difficult to break open with ordinary external force. It cost Qin Liuhe a lot of money.

Enter two different sets of passwords and the alloy safe will open automatically.

Qin Liuhe took out a small sandalwood box from the alloy safe and opened the lid. There was an ugly black worm in the box.

"He is indeed dead."

Qin Liuhe looked ugly. He reached out to pick up the insect and carefully looked at it for a few seconds to confirm that the insect was indeed dead.

"call……"

I took a few deep breaths to calm down my bad mood.

Qin Liuhe came to the desk and sat down, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Cao Yi's number.

"The user you dialed is not in the service area, please call again later..."

The sound from the cell phone completely dispelled the last glimmer of hope in Qin Liuhe's heart. He hung up the phone and put it back on the table.

"Dong dong dong."

His fingers tapped lightly on the solid wood tabletop, and the atmosphere in the quiet office was very solemn.

"Cao Yi is dead, is the target still alive?" After a long time, Qin Liuhe said to himself.

Although Cao Yi's death was difficult for him to accept, people cannot be resurrected after death. No matter what, he must first know whether the mission has been completed, and then find a way to investigate why Cao Yi died.

Picking up the phone again, Qin Liuhe dialed Gao Qiang's phone number.

"Dududu."

The phone rang a few times and the call was connected.

Gao Qiang didn't sleep last night. After the mission, he returned home, took a shower and immediately lay down on the bed to rest.

Just a few hours after sleeping, Qin Liuhe called, which made Gao Qiang feel complaining.

However, thinking of the cruelty and cruelty of the other party, Gao Qiang, who had resentment in his heart, could only endure his uncomfortable mood, answered the phone, and greeted him respectfully.

"Mr. Qin."

"Gao Qiang, something happened to Cao Yi." Qin Liuhe said concisely.

"Ah?" Gao Qiang, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. When he heard what Qin Liuhe said, he thought he heard it wrong.

"I need you now to confirm whether the man named Lin Li is still alive." Qin Liuhe continued.

Only then did Gao Qiang react, and then he said with a serious face, "Mr. Qin, is something really wrong with Cao Yi?"

"It's certain that he is dead." Qin Liuhe said with a livid face.

"Uh..." Gao Qiang heard the other party's tone so confident. Although he didn't know how to verify it, he also understood that there should be no problem with the result.

"Mr. Qin, I will go out now and go to the parking lot where the target arrived today to see if he is alive or dead."

"When you have the results, call me immediately to report them."

"OK."

"besides……"

"what else?"

"Regarding Cao Yi, please do not disclose it to the outside world for the time being."

"Understood, I will not tell anyone else about this without your order."

"Well, you go ahead!"

After ending the call, Gao Qiang, who was wearing a black vest and beach pants, couldn't help but frown.

"How did it become like this?"

"I originally thought that after this surveillance mission was over, I could relax for a while."

"Now that Cao Yi's death is unclear, we will definitely investigate to the end. I will be busy again."

After a while, Gao Qiang, who had changed his clothes, slowly walked out of the house with a depressed expression on his face.

A roar sounded from the parking lot of the community, and a black car drove out of the gate of the community, driving quickly on the street, heading to a remote place in the suburbs.

…………

In the endless wilderness, a group of beast hunters fought fiercely with the beasts.

"Puff."

Chen Jiaquan dodged the attack of the giant toad beast, waved the weapon in his hand, and made a hole in the opponent's body.

The severe pain made the beast wail continuously. There was a gap in the strength of the two sides. Now that they have been entangled for so long, it is time to retreat.

The beast hunters found that the giant toad beast that was difficult to entangle quickly retreated, jumped into the stream and sank to the bottom of the water, and fled to the downstream of the stream.

"We won." Chen Jiaxiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a laugh.

The others also smiled happily at this time, and then they suddenly thought of something, and the smiles on their faces immediately subsided.

As the captain, Chen Jiaquan did not stop after repelling the beast and immediately went to Wu Kui's position.

When he came to the other side, he was relieved to see that the two explorers were safe and sound.

But then, Chen Jiaquan found that one person was missing, so he asked hurriedly.

"Where is Lin Li?"

"He led the beast away."

"This..." Chen Jiaquan frowned, worried about Lin Li's safety.

"Don't worry, with his strength, even if he can't kill the beast, he can escape safely..." Wu Kui said.

Chen Jiaquan was busy fighting with the giant toad beast just now, and didn't see Lin Li punch the beast away, so after hearing what Wu Kui said, his worries did not decrease.

"Brother, let's go find him now, maybe we can still save him..." Chen Jiaxiang brought a group of people to Chen Jiaquan and suggested looking for Lin Li.

But before he finished speaking, the bushes not far away shook, and then Lin Li walked out of the bushes.

"Are you still alive?" Everyone saw that Lin Li was safe and sound, and their faces were full of surprise.

Lin Li smiled, "The strength of that strange beast is average. If it wants my life, it won't have a glimmer of hope even if it cultivates for another hundred years."

Except Wu Kui and the two explorers, everyone present thought that Lin Li was bragging.

Now that the crisis has been resolved, Chen Jiaquan feels that it is still not safe near the river, so he leads everyone to leave the river and continue on their way.

At the end of the team, Lin Li was holding a bottle of mineral water and drinking it slowly.

Not far away, Wu Kui slowed down and came to Lin Li. At this moment, his face was embarrassed and he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What do you want?" Lin Li asked after drinking the water.

"That..." Wu Kui took a deep breath and exhaled, and then he thanked Lin Li seriously.

"Thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would have to die here today."

Lin Li smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are teammates now. If you are in danger, I will naturally help you."

Wu Kui raised his hand and scratched his head, then apologized to Lin Li.

"I'm so sorry for my attitude towards you before."

Lin Li is not a petty person, so he waved his hand and said.

"It doesn't matter. There are so many people who question me recently. If I care about them, I won't be able to live like this."

Wu Kui saw that the other party understood and said, "At first, I thought you joined the team through the backdoor. I didn't expect you to be so strong. It's amazing."

"Fortunately, my strength is average." Lin Li smiled modestly.

"How did you get rid of the beast?" Wu Kui asked.

"I didn't get rid of the beast."

"Did you kill the beast?"

"Yeah." Seeing Wu Kui's surprised face, Lin Li responded calmly.

"..."Wu Kui opened his mouth in shock.

You know, the spotted leopard beast has the strength of the middle stage of the second stage. Even if Chen Jiaquan faces it, he can't deal with it for a while.

Lin Li led the beast away and came back not long after. Wu Kui took it for granted that Lin Li had gotten rid of the beast and did not consider killing it at all.

Seeing Wu Kui's shocked expression, Lin Li's mouth slightly raised, and then he took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

…………

Time passed, and the sun was scorching.

At noon, the weather was very hot. Lin Li and his party walked forward in the endless wilderness and spent a morning going deep into the wilderness.

At this time, everyone was tired and hungry, and Chen Jiaquan, who was leading the way at the front of the team, stopped.

"Brother." Chen Jiaxiang asked, "Are we going to rest here?"

"Yes." Chen Jiaquan nodded and ordered Chen Jiaxiang, "Take someone to explore the surrounding area. If you find a beast lurking around, report to me immediately."

"Yes." Chen Jiaxiang responded.

Then he called a teammate and walked towards the lush bushes in front.

The wilderness is a paradise for exotic animals, and there are many dangerous exotic animals roaming in the depths of the wilderness.

Lush bushes are everywhere, which are natural resting places for exotic animals.

When exotic animal hunters choose to rest, they must first explore some of the surrounding bushes to prevent sudden attacks by exotic animals during rest.

Chen Jiaxiang went to the surroundings to check for dangers, and the others were not idle either, using their mental perception to carefully search some nearby places.

Wu Kui asked with a smile, "Lin Li, did you find anything unusual?"

The misunderstanding was resolved. He was very friendly now, and his enthusiasm made Lin Li a little uncomfortable.

"There is a spiritual energy fluctuation in that direction. There should be a strange beast hiding there." Lin Li raised his finger to the left front.

Wu Kui was alert when he heard this, and then he heard Lin Li add.

"But this strange beast is only at the beginning of the first stage, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Uh..." Wu Kui's nervous mood relaxed immediately after hearing what Lin Li said.

After all, the strange beast at the beginning of the first stage is too weak for everyone present, and one hand can easily solve it.

"Strange, why didn't I sense the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the strange beast in that direction?" Wu Kui explored the direction where Lin Li found the spiritual energy fluctuations, but found nothing.

Because it is two hundred meters away, with your strength, you can't explore such a long distance... Lin Li muttered in his heart.

Ten minutes later, Chen Jiaxiang came back. He explored the surrounding bushes and found no trace of the strange beast.

After eliminating the danger, Chen Jiaquan gave an order and everyone began to find a cool shade to rest.

Put the backpack on the ground and take out the portable self-heating food from it.

Recently, the food processing factory has developed many new portable self-heating foods, several of which are loved by exotic hunters.

This time, hired by the weapon shop to come to the depths of the wilderness, the supplies are very well prepared, and several portable self-heating foods that are loved by exotic hunters must be on the list.

"This new self-heating hot pot tastes really good, much better than the old one." Wu Kui said with a smile.

Lin Li on the side picked up a piece of beef from the self-heating hot pot, blew it, and then put it in his mouth.

"The taste is indeed good, but compared with the hot pot cooked with fresh ingredients, there is still a big gap."

Now the teammates around are eating self-heating hot pot, and the rich aroma is floating in the air.

A gust of wind blew, and the aroma of the self-heating hot pot was carried away by the wind.

Some of the strange beasts with keen sense of smell, hiding in the dark and taking a nap, smelled this unique fragrance, opened their eyes and swallowed their saliva.

Unfortunately, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the fragrance of the self-heating hot pot was soon blown away by the wind.

At this time, no matter how keen the sense of smell of the strange beasts hiding in the dark was, they could not smell the fragrance to find the source.

"Burp." Lin Li burped immediately after eating and drinking.

He stood up and planned to walk around to digest the food in his stomach.

"Where are you going?" Wu Kui had just packed up his things and saw Lin Li was going to walk away, so he asked hurriedly.

"My stomach is a little full, I plan to go over there for a walk."

"I'll go with you."

Lin Li was about to refuse, Wu Kui smiled and said, "Chen Jiaquan will not agree to leave the team alone."

"Then come with me!" Lin Li nodded, and then the two of them greeted Chen Jiaquan and walked towards a forest in front.
