Chapter 145 The Mercenary Did Not Die

Xu Ting's sudden utterance silenced everyone, and Xu Lei was slightly puzzled:

"What do you mean no more?"

"It's the road we drove when we came here just now...disappeared."

"disappear?"

"Yes, the road is gone."

At this time, Levi's also tugged on Xu Le's sleeve, and said in a low voice:

"I checked with a scorpion, and the traces of what came before are indeed gone, and the state of the trees is the same.

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

Hearing this news, the expressions of Xu Le and the fifth mercenary who were confronting each other changed at the same time.

From the look that I might kill you just now, to an apologetic look, because I was too impulsive.

"It's my problem that I didn't make a move, or..."

The fifth child just opened his mouth to speak softly, but Xu Le was even more ruthless, so he directly apologized and made a statement.

"I was the one who was harsh just now. I really shouldn't. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let Captain Xu Lei handle the spoils."

The fifth child squinted at the young warlock in front of him, and smiled slightly:
"well."

Levi looked at Xu Le a little strangely, he didn't understand why Xu Le and the fifth mercenary changed their faces at the same time.

"What's the situation? You two discussed it?"

Xu Le glanced at Lao Wu, then shook his head slightly:
"The disappearance of traces is definitely not a natural phenomenon. This fifth mercenary should have made the same judgment as me."

"Judgment? What judgment?"

"Be prepared not to go back."

"It's just that the way you came here is gone, you can just go back by driving a new one. Is it as serious as you said?"

"I also hope that my judgment is wrong, but I am the Red Moon Warlock."

Can't go back, at least temporarily, this is Xu Le's first reaction after hearing Xu Ting's report.

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

After all, if you get 50% of the task reward for two people + half of the spoils of a level 3 polluter in one morning, you can get at least a few thousand, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

It can greatly alleviate the problem of a wave of funds.

So after learning that the mission was abandoned, he didn't need to be polite to a temporary mercenary, or even Xu Lei.

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

When everyone can't 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 for the next period of time, they had to maintain this fragile team relationship.

At least until the investigation is clear about whether they can go back, the two sides can't tear each other apart.

This is what caused the attitudes of the two to change at the same time.

The story of Liao Zhai has to continue, so the fox has to put away his tail, and the Taoist also has to put away his sword.

After the conversation ended, Xu Le and Lao Wu unexpectedly didn't go to see the corpse of the ghost bear.

The corpse of the ghost bear who was still a sweet pastry just now was suddenly abandoned at this moment.

Before he was sure that he could return safely, carrying such a huge and heavy loot could only become a burden.

The atmosphere of the team returned to harmony, but Xu Lei, the captain, knew very well that the two sides were only a temporary compromise.

"Xu Le's way of doing things has changed a lot. He was not so decisive before, and he was not so... like a mercenary." Xu Lei frowned.

"Isn't this kind of change good?" Xu Ting asked.

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

The mercenary Lao Wu had already returned to Lao Qi's side at this time, and he asked in a low voice:
"Where's the old six?"

Lao Qi looked at the direction they came from, and was also a little puzzled:

"I don't know, isn't he stealing those two bear's paws?"

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

"It's been a while, and we should be able to see our marks. Normally, there shouldn't be no response at all. I feel something is wrong. Why don't I go and have a look?"

"Okay, be careful, that warlock suspects me, go and come back quickly."

"it is good."

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

She backed away slowly, walking in the direction of the pair of mother and cub bears.

And Xu Le has been watching them from the corner of his eye. After confirming that Lao Qi intends to leave the team, he quickly said to Levi's:

"Brother Li, can you follow her?"

"can."

……

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

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

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

He took another look at the direction the team was leaving, and after confirming that no one was coming over for the time being, he chopped off the bear's paw with one knife.

After chopping off the bear's paw, the sixth child actually took a bite out of it.

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

After eating a few mouthfuls, he wrapped the bear's paw and prepared to get up and follow Xu Lei's team.

"A corpse of a level 3 polluter, even if it's only half, should still have a lot of money, ha!"

Squeak!
Some small voices came.

The sixth child stopped, pulled out the machete with a slightly squinted expression, and then took out the barrel gun, pulled the bolt, and looked towards the jungle on the other side.

"Who? Come out."

Squeak!After another burst, a woman's voice appeared.

"Chao Sheng, what are you doing?"

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

Adjusting one's mental state is a compulsory course.

It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter if your brothers and sisters are dead, as long as you don't die.

Those who stand in their way will die!
"What the hell, don't play tricks on me, who the hell are you?"

"Chaosheng, you shouldn't have come to this place, hurry up, it's dangerous here."

Looking at the woman in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night, Lao Liu shot without the slightest hesitation after warning once.

boom!
The shotgun almost pierced the opponent's waist and abdomen, and a lot of blood was sprayed on the ground.

The woman looked at the sixth child with affection on her face, and persuaded again:

"Chaosheng, let's go."

……

At this time, Lao Qi, the mercenary who came to look for Lao Liu, knelt on the ground clutching his stomach. The moment she appeared just now, Lao Liu shot her.

"Fuckin' Wu Lao Liu, are you going to kill me?"

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

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

Gently pressing the button on his waist, the dagger popped out.

Lao Qi grabbed the dagger and threw it out, piercing the air instantly and piercing Wu Lao Liu's forehead.

But Wu Lao Liu's forehead spread like mud, ignoring this attack, he rushed towards the mercenary Lao Qi.

The speed of this level 2 warrior is actually above the level 3 Lao Qi.

puff!

The saber pierced Lao Qi's calf and got caught between two bones.

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

Bang bang bang!
But Wu Lao Liu didn't care, for this kind of physical injury, he put his barrel gun on Lao Qi's face.

"Wu Lao Liu? Are you crazy?"

boom!
……

When the gunshots sounded, Xu Le and the others stood up immediately, and he glanced at Levi's.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?"

Levi shook his head:
"The seventh mercenary seems to be dead."

Xu Le was surprised.

"Dead? Tell me more specifically."

"Scorpion followed Lao Qi back to the place where the mother bear died, Lao Qi called Lao Liu, and then the surviving Lao Liu seemed to know Lao Qi.

He shot Lao Qi directly, and after a fight between the two, Lao Liu killed Lao Qi.

One of them is very special, that is, when Lao Liu was attacked by Lao Qi, because of the perspective of the scorpion, 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 pushed to the ground by Lao Liu and shot to death. "

As expected, the sixth son did not die, but he killed the seventh son of the mercenary... What was the situation?
"Is there any trace of the sixth child at the scene, such as blood or something?"

"It doesn't seem to be there. Why didn't he die when the ghost bear attacked him before? He didn't die after being headshot? Fruit ability?"

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

When the sixth child was killed just now, almost everyone didn't notice that something was wrong, but Xu Le felt it a little bit.

Fluctuations in fruit energy.

That kind of fluctuation belongs to the energy of the ancient sound, it is very small, but he is aware of it.

There were bloodstains when the sixth child was headshot just now, but it was very little.

To be truly headshot, there must be a lot of blood flowing.

"If he has abilities similar to ghost mist or elemental fruits, he won't die if he gets headshot."

The same is true for Xu Le himself being headshot. As long as he is prepared, it is difficult to kill them with physical damage.

"Very skillful way of feigning death. It seems that this trio is a habitual offender. Will Tianrui Lifeng take care of this situation?"

"One-third of the mercenaries who came out couldn't get along in Tianrui Lifeng, and the remaining two-thirds came out to make money.

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

But don't you think the death of the old seven is very strange, they are fighting among themselves? "

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

Just an ordinary jungle bear, not even a trophy.

Such a little thing will not cause internal strife, right?
"It doesn't feel like it. The mission has just begun. I can't think of why they are fighting among themselves!"

"Then what should I say now? Remind them a few times?"

Xu Le glanced at Xu Lei and the others, then at the fifth mercenary, and pondered for a moment:
"I must say it, but I can't say it in front of this old five. These mercenaries are too vigilant. Use a doll to pass the note."

"Pass a note?" Levi was a little surprised.

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

"I handed it over, and I handed it over many times."

"Oh!~Brother Li is really amazing. He is so experienced. He must have dated a lot of girls in school. I'm envious."

Levi's chest was blocked suddenly. He did pass the note when he was young, but he was always the one who handed it for others.

[The sixth mercenary is not dead and is missing, the seventh mercenary is dead, and the murderer is the sixth. 】

Levi wrote the note, put the note on the tongs of the scorpion doll, and quietly handed it to Xu Lei.

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

He didn't go to confirm the truth of the matter, but he was sure that the female mercenary of Lao Qi was not here, and the situation of these three mercenaries was worse than he expected.

He walked up to the fifth mercenary, and asked calmly:
"Where are your people?"

At this time, the fifth child had already frowned tightly. It was obvious that the situation at this time had exceeded his expectations.

The sixth child was never 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 also made a decisive decision.

"Let's go first, anyway, the mission has been declared a failure now, don't worry about us."

Hearing that the fifth child was about to leave the team, Xu Le was very happy to see him. This person is probably not low in strength, and he is a wild man, and both sides have problems.

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

As for more drastic means... so far, it is not enough.

Xu Lei didn't have any objection when he saw that the fifth child was leaving the team. He had already guessed something from the note just now.

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

"Since you want to choose to stay and wait for someone, then we'll leave first, the car won't wait for someone, you should think it through yourself."

"Think clearly, you go first."

"it is good."

It is also a good thing for Xu Lei to leave the team peacefully with this mercenary.

"Okay, everyone stop resting, Xu Ting continues to explore the way, please Warlock Levi's continue to investigate."

"no problem."

After the fifth child left the team, the team started to operate again.

They walked in the direction they came from.

The trail that Xu Ting opened with a knife before, the traces left behind can no longer be seen, so they can only open the road again.

Although there is no previous path, 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 the 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 now 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 heading south.

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

As the trailblazer of the team, Xu Ting will take great 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 at it just now, it was clearly in the north. How could I make such a mistake?"

Faced with 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'm really not mistaken."

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

Xu Lei felt that his emotions just now were not right, and he also asked his sister to calm down.

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

Levi's on the side was a little excited, he looked at Xu Le and praised:
"I really can't go back? Wow, Xu Le, your mouth seems to have been opened!"

Xu Le: ...

"I'll just take it as a compliment from you."

Xu Le took out the Guyinduo card, and before he drew any cards, the hazy sense of destiny emerged.

Xu Le gave up the original idea of ​​directly flipping the cards, but injected Gu Yinduo's psionic energy, and started a formal Gu Yinduo's fate divination.

"Can I get out of this jungle safely?

The technique - all - ancient sounds and many secret words. "

【Black Card - Forest】

Endless forest, nowhere to go, mystery

Front: a place from which there is no way out, a fog, a predicament.

Negative: resources.

"The predicament that can't get out? This place is hard to handle."

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

Unable to get out of the predicament.

Xu Le raised his hand at this time, and suggested to Xu Lei:
"I think we can use something that is more visible and leave a line on the ground.

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

Now that we've decided to give up on the quest, let's spend a little 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 seeing Li Qingcheng hold Xu Le's hand again, the two stood there with their heads down and whispered, somewhat shy and sweet like a young man.

But Xu Lei frowned, protecting Li Qingcheng is the task.

And Li Qingcheng and Xu Le were not allowed to mix together many years ago.

Xu Le came back with great difficulty. If this continues, he will definitely be driven away again, so he yelled at Xu Le:
"Xu Le, calm down, it's the mission period, have you forgotten all the previous things?"

Xu Le was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Gu Yinduo card in his hand, with question marks all over his face.

I'm the Red Moon Warlock?Can't play cards?

What did I forget?

He felt strange when he saw Xu Lei's expression of hatred for iron and steel, he was fine just now, what's going on?

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

Why did the captain suddenly look very angry?
The only one who didn't feel strange was Levi's next to Xu Le.

He poked Xu Le with his elbow, and said nervously:
"You haven't gone out yet, you really should restrain yourself, okay, don't mock me, I know I'm not as good as you when it comes to finding women."

Hearing what Levi said, more question marks appeared on Xu Le's face.

The Red Moon Warlock can't play cards anymore?

He just cut the cards and divination on the spot, restraining what?What woman?What the hell?what are you guys saying?
Seeing Levi's mysterious face and Xu Lei's dissatisfied face, Xu Le suddenly calmed down.

wrong.

The situation is not right.

Are they wrong?
Or am I wrong?
