Chapter 459: Impure Purpose
The team set off again. At first, Lao Gu kept his previous position and followed the guys who opened the way not far or near. After walking for half a day, Gu had already passed the guys who opened the way and walked in the forefront.

"What's the matter?" Ji Wenlin felt that Xia Yanru beside her stopped, and immediately asked with concern.

"I don't know, I feel something is wrong." Xia Yanru shook her head, her heart was inexplicably tense just now, but after she stopped to feel it carefully, the feeling disappeared.

"Is the route wrong?" Ji Wenlin's face was heavy. What they had been worried about was that Lao Gu would play tricks on the road, so they would always pay attention to whether the route he took was right or wrong.

"The direction is right for now, but we are not familiar with this mountain. Even if the direction is right, the same direction may lead to several destinations. If our guess about Lao Gu is true, he will definitely not take Let's go to Xiganggou, maybe it will be somewhere else." The most likely situation that Xia Yanru can think of is that Lao Gu will play tricks on the route near Xiganggou, and maybe take them to a place indiscriminately and then sneak away.

Of course, Xia Yanru's guess had a worse ending, which would also take them to some unknown place, and then take the opportunity to kill their entire archaeological team.

"Don't think about it, what should happen will always happen, let's be more careful, and if we find something abnormal, we will preemptively strike." Ji Wenlin rubbed the top of Xia Yanru's hair. No matter how much he thinks right now, he can't figure out the real motive of Lao Gu. and intend.

"Yeah." Xia Yanru nodded, thinking that maybe all of this is just their own imagination, maybe Gu Gu just doesn't look good, but in fact he is just an ordinary and honest hunter?

But I think so, but it is impossible to say this. Compared with the chance of Lao Gu having evil intentions, the chance of him being an honest person is even slimmer.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in her mind, Xia Yanru raised her feet and continued to follow the team. As Ji Wenlin said, whatever should happen will happen, and if it cannot be avoided, then take precautions in advance.

Professor Hu and the others in the front didn't know Xia Yanru's worries. At this time, the professor just trotted all the way to catch up with Lao Gu who was in the front, saying something with a trusting expression on his face.

It was getting late, and in the deep mountains, night roads were always avoided as much as possible, but the team tonight had no tendency to stop. Even Professor Hu's lack of experience in the field felt that it was a bit inappropriate to continue like this.

"Brother Gu, can we find a place to set up camp first, it's getting dark today, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to go on like this." Professor Hu sincerely suggested.

"We're almost there." Lao Gu looked back at Professor Hu with complex emotions, but because of the darkness, even though the two were very close, Professor Hu didn't see it.

Hearing that it was coming soon, Professor Hu was a little confused whether to grit his teeth and continue driving in the dark, or insist on stopping for the night. He had almost no field experience, and he subconsciously looked towards the rear of the team.

He struggled to find Ji Wenlin's location in the dark, and usually he didn't pay much attention to it, but it had to be said that when faced with such a difficult decision, he would involuntarily want to ask the other party's opinion.

"Professor Hu, let's walk for another half an hour. After half an hour, we must stop and rest anyway." Ji Wenlin also noticed Professor Hu's dilemma from the rear. He also rejected walking in the dark, so he quickly Helped Professor Hu make a decision.

"Okay, then continue on the road for another half an hour." Professor Hu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Ji Wenlin didn't insist on walking all night. face, I don't want them to be in danger.

Old Gu also heard the voice from behind, his eyes narrowed slightly, he was not sure whether the other party had discovered something or it was a coincidence, he was already very close to where he was going in half an hour, but it happened that he couldn't easily detect it distance.

Half an hour passed quickly, Professor Hu kept an eye on the time, and after confirming that it was half an hour, he decisively announced that today's itinerary had come to an end.

"There's something wrong with Old Gu. He seems to really want us to travel at night." While waiting for dinner, Tang Yulou strolled over to Xia Yanru's side, speaking in a very low voice, and keeping his eyes on the surroundings at all times.

"It's not just driving at night, but I want to use the night to achieve his goal." Xia Yanru has already discovered a place with a somewhat abnormal structure in the process of just half an hour. The place does not look like a group of buildings. , Judging from the surrounding space, there is only one independent building there.

Xia Yanru guessed that there should be a trap or something there, because it would be easy to find it during the day, so Lao Gu thought of going there by night. make an excuse.

"Is there an ambush ahead?" Tang Yulou's face darkened, and his first reaction was that there was an ambush ahead.

"Maybe it's an ambush, maybe it's a trap, but it's definitely not Xiganggou." Xia Yanru said firmly.

"According to your judgment, how far are we from Xiganggou now? If it doesn't work, we will go to Xiganggou by ourselves." Tang Yulou suggested after thinking for a while.

"It can't be avoided. The general direction is correct, but Gu should have led us to the wrong fork. If we want to find Xiganggou, we have to rely on him." Xia Yanru shook her head. The fundamental reason for them to find a guide It's just that they can't accurately locate the location of Xiganggou. If they can bypass Lao Gu and find it by themselves, then they don't need a guide from the beginning.

"In that case, we should have broken his plan by stopping to camp now, but I just noticed that Lao Gu's expression is still very calm. Is there something we have overlooked?" Tang Yulou Some said hesitantly.

Tang Yulou's doubts may not be the same as those of other insiders, but they couldn't remember what the problem was for a while, and what would they have missed?
With this doubt, Xia Yanru and the others didn't sleep well at night. When it was her turn to be on duty at night, the moment she walked out of the simple tent, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She knew what was missing!

"You haven't woken up yet? Otherwise, you can go to sleep again, and I'll be on duty." Ji Wenlin followed and stood beside Xia Yanru, watching her eyes dimly waiting for the fire in front of her, thinking that I didn't wake up.

"No." Xia Yanru came back to her senses, her face was more serious than ever, she first glanced at the direction where Lao Gu was resting, and then quietly went to sit in front of the fire.

When Ji Wenlin also came and sat down, and the surroundings were silent, Xia Yanru lowered her voice and said, "Uncle Lou mentioned before if we missed something, I thought of it just now."

"What is it?" Ji Wenlin followed her example and asked in a low voice.
