After checking the intercom signal, I turned and walked into Storm Point.
As Ma Wei said, this Storm Cape is actually a protruding part of Snake Island, similar to a small peninsula. To enter this place, you must pass through a dense forest. Since there are mountains on both sides of the dense forest, this passage is like a gourd mouth. As long as this place is defended, the people inside will never come out again.
How could those mysterious stowaways not know such an obvious truth?
I searched the muddy ground for a long time before finally finding a few footprints that were no longer very clear. Because the ground here is so muddy and the visibility is so low, the footprints disappear easily and are difficult to spot.
At this time, I suddenly saw a flashlight flashing in front of me. Before I could lean down, a dark figure jumped out and stood behind me.
"Haha, there really is someone who dares to follow me." A rough male voice came from behind my ears. I clearly realized that I had become the prey in the eyes of the other party, and I would be hunted anytime and anywhere.
Resistance may be a dead end.
"Pang Qiu, stop talking nonsense and kill him directly to avoid further trouble." At this time, a woman's voice came from not far away.
"Kill if you say you will?" The man named Pang Qiu snorted coldly, "Why should I take this life?"
"You don't have enough life left in your body. What's the matter with one more?" The female voice came closer and seemed to be beside Pang Qiu. "Skinny Monkey and the others are still waiting for us. Hurry up."
"Boy, if there is a way to heaven, you don't take it. If there is no door to hell, you just throw yourself into it. Today is your fate. You can't blame me!"
At this moment, I suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
"Boy, you are about to die, why are you talking nonsense!" The woman got impatient, drew her knife and walked towards me. This was the first time I saw such a cruel woman, and she even let someone say her last words. Refuse.
I knew that if what I said in the few seconds from when she drew the knife to when she stabbed me couldn't make her change her mind, then my life would be completely ruined today.
"Lao Qi, I hope you didn't trick me!"
I shouted, "Undersea tomb, I'm here to dig undersea tomb!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword wind had arrived.
As soon as the sharp blade touched the skin, the skin was instantly cut open. The fear was beyond words.
Fortunately, the knife did not go any deeper, but was placed on his neck.
Only then did the pain spread throughout his body.
But I still breathed a sigh of relief.
"What did you say?" the woman asked in surprise.
"My name is Li Rui, Lao Qi introduced me!" I replied.
At this time, Pang Qiu also stepped forward and asked, "Say it again?"
Judging from their reactions, I knew that I was right in my bet this time, so I confidently said, "I told you, my name is Li Rui, and Lao Qi introduced me here."
"Boy, do you know who we are? Do you know the consequences of lying to us?" Pang Qiu threatened.
"Hey, don't be so scary, okay? Aren't you just natives from the Northeast? Speaking of which, we are also traveling together." I smiled and gently removed the knife from my neck. "If you don't believe it, You can ask Lao Qi to confirm my identity."
At this time, I saw the woman's face clearly. To be honest, it was completely different from what I imagined. I thought she was an ugly person, but I didn't expect that she was indeed a pretty woman. In addition to her ruthless temperament, In addition, it also exudes a sense of charm.
On the pretty face, there is a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows. Although they are smiling, it makes people feel chilly in their hearts. The almond-like eyes sometimes reveal a charming color, and sometimes they are as dead as a dry well.
"Haha, of course we will verify it, but I want to find out now why you are on the island and why you are with those militiamen?" the woman said coldly.
"Why am I on the island? This Lao Qi should have told you that I came to Snake Island to visit and visit some places." Because it is a fact, I can speak with confidence.
Seeing that I spoke so decisively, the woman seemed unable to catch me, "Then how do you explain the situation just now?"
"You still have the nerve to criticize me." I had an idea and said, "Did you secretly go to the island and discuss it with me? We haven't even contacted each other yet, and you acted on your own without permission. Is this a cooperative attitude?"
"You!" The woman was speechless for a moment, and was about to get angry and draw her sword again, but Pang Qiu stopped her, "Xu Miaofeng, calm down first, and ask everything first."
The woman named Xu Miaofeng put away the knife and said, "Okay, let's ask clearly!"
Then, she took out her walkie-talkie and called out: "Skinny Monkey, Slim Monkey, we've encountered something."
"What's going on?" the other party asked.
"The contact person is here."
"The contact person?" The other party was surprised, and then asked: "Where is he?"
"We caught him."
"Caught?" The other party was surprised again, "Keep an eye on him, we'll come right away!"
In less than two minutes, several figures emerged from the dense forest. The leader was a short and skinny man, who must be the "skinny monkey" they called him. There were two people behind him, one was wearing a Taoist robe and looked out of place, the other was dressed in black and was very capable.
The thin monkey walked up to me, his scheming eyes full of suspicion. He looked me over and asked, "What's your name?"
"Li Rui." I said simply.
"Who are you, Lao Qi?"
"friend."
"What are you doing here?"
"travel."
"Why did you suddenly appear behind us, and why did you want to help that group of militiamen?"
"If I don't help them, how can I join you?" I glanced at him and said, "Besides, at first, I didn't know it was you. I thought they were poachers. Who knew? The more I looked at the situation, the more wrong it became, so I suspected that you were here, so I followed your footprints to attract them."
"Why should I trust you?"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don't believe me, then you can go find the undersea tomb on your own. Anyway, you secretly went to the island this time. It's obvious that you want to get rid of me and go it alone." I said sarcastically.
"You -" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Shouhou's eyes, but he soon became kind again and said with a smile: "Hahaha, brother, you misunderstood, we are not trying to get rid of you, we actually have the same purpose as you , is to explore the reality and prepare for formal action."
I glanced at the crowd and found that the boss Lao Qi mentioned was not there. I knew he was bluffing me again, so I smiled and said, "Really?"
Seeing that he couldn't bluff me, Skinny Monkey simply told the truth, "Brother, since you are here, I know that people don't tell secrets. We really want to do this business alone. Boss Hua is a layman. Fish and shrimp farming are okay." , things like robbing the tomb and poking out Qiu, we have to do it professionally."
"so what?"
"Lao Qi told me about you. You are the Xunlong Taibao, and you are famous far and wide. We all admire you. If you are willing to join, I, Shouhou, promise you that when it is done, we will split the money 50-50!"
"Fifty-five?!" As soon as these words came out, some people immediately became unhappy.
"Why is he five and we are five? How much can we get?" Pang Qiu asked.
"Yes, Shouhou, it's unfair for you to do this." Xu Miaofeng also said.
When I saw this, I smiled slightly and said, "Look, even the brothers under you have opinions. I think it's better to forget about it."
The thin monkey seemed to feel very embarrassed, his face suddenly darkened, and he yelled angrily, "Damn it, it's all the other way around, isn't it! When I talk, you fart! What I say is what I say, 50-50 is 50-50 , Anyone who has any objections can get out immediately!"
Seeing the furious rage of the thin monkey, everyone was speechless.
"You guys have no other skills, but you are very capable of seeing money!" Shouhou lectured, "If you have the skills of others, I will be 50-50 with you, and we can even be equal in the future!"
Then, Shouhou started his performance and praised me lavishly, "This brother Li Rui is the authentic Dragon-seeking Taibao, and he is also famous in the world. Who are you? To put it harshly, you are just a bunch of people." How can a ragtag group of people compete with others, can it?!"
Everyone was stunned by what he said, and they all cooperated with his performance and nodded repeatedly.
Xu Miaofeng walked up to me at this time, put a hand on my shoulder, and revealed a hint of enchantment in his slightly lowered eyes, "Brother Li Rui, I'm really sorry just now. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family couldn't help it." We have met a family, your injury doesn’t matter, do you want me to bandage it for you?”
I shuddered and thought, would you bandage me? I'd better forget it, I'm afraid the gauze will be poisoned, and I still want to live for two more years.
"It's a small injury, it's okay." I smiled.
Xu Miaofeng stared at me, "You said you were brave enough. If my knife went down even one centimeter, I would have committed a serious crime..."
"Hahaha, but fortunately, you are smart and courageous enough. If it had been anyone else, there would be no way to get this life back."
Xu Miaofeng deliberately tried to please me, making me realize that she was someone I could win over in this team. Generally speaking, there are very few women in tomb robbing gangs, with the exception of women like Huai Rujin. Women in tomb robber gangs lack competitive and survival advantages. Therefore, if they want to survive, in addition to having the ability, they also need a set of survival skills that can help them survive. They must be able to play both sides of the coin, adapt to the situation, and be able to offend their leaders. To be happy, you have to get along with the people around you and survive in the cracks.
"Ahem," I coughed, stood up, and said to Shouhou: "Shouhou, we don't know each other before fighting, so there is no need to say some polite words. Anyway, I was introduced by Lao Qi. , I should ask him to get it, so it doesn’t matter to me which boss I am.”
The thin monkey was very smart and immediately expressed his position: "Okay, as long as you agree to join the team, when the matter is completed, it will belong to Boss Qi, and there will be no less money!"
