"These outsiders said that the treasure skill books dropped by killing monsters were placed in the monsters' bodies. They have higher-level skill books in their hands." Gong Hanyu said with burning eyes.
"Ah, no, that's not it. In that case, they were the ones who sent those monsters to us! They have caused us such misery, and they still dare to say it!" Zhou Jinxiu said angrily.
"What do they dare not say? From what they say, they are just the forerunners, and there will be more powerful people coming later." Gong Hanyu's tone was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.
"What should we do? Can't we stop them?" Zhou Jinxiu asked nervously.
"How to stop them? They come from the sky. Can we block the sky?" Gong Hanyu asked.
Zhou Jinxiu was speechless.
"What's more, they claim to be here to help us, to help us embark on the path of spiritual practice, strengthen our bodies, and seek immortality." It is precisely because the origins of these people are unknown and it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Big bosses from all sides are constantly arguing about this and treat outsiders. His attitude is also ambiguous.
Of course, this is also because most outsiders keep a low profile and do not do anything crazy or outrageous.
"Miss, this outsider did not kill Rong Xianxian as promised. What will happen to the plan you arranged before?" The outsider's affairs are not something that a small person like her can control, so Zhou Jinxiu simply gave up.
"Then let her live for a few more days, and then I can find a way to deal with her after I capture Ning Qingyun." Gong Hanyu said with a sinister look on his face.
Speaking of this, Gong Hanyu took down a map from the bookshelf. This was a map of the stronghold near the misty forest. Her mercenary group had been operating there for so long and knew the terrain there well. Although now Occupied by Ning Qingyun's people, some buildings there will definitely be renovated, but they may not be able to discover some of the more hidden special terrain.
Gong Hanyu sketched on the map, and drew a simple topographic map on another blank piece of paper. He handed the map to Zhou Jinxiu and asked her to send someone to deliver it to Ning Zhisi.
The last battle was deceived by Ning Zhisi. Gong Hanyu made up his mind to let him take the lead in this plan.
After three consecutive days of heavy rain, the sky finally cleared up, and the warm sunshine shone on the earth, making people finally feel better.
In the stronghold outside the safety zone, Ning Qingyun was checking around to see if there was any water accumulation.
"Boss, it's probably just a coincidence that the brotherhood was possessed by evil spirits. Look at the people from other mercenary groups coming in and out of this misty forest. Isn't it okay? Let's send people in too." Pan Yang looked at The adventurer who entered with an empty cart and then returned with a fully loaded cart felt itchy.
"No, no one is allowed to step into the forest before the results are given by the institute." Ning Qingyun retorted.
"Yes, boss." Pan Yang looked at Ning Qingyun's firm attitude and could only nod in agreement.
"Boss, it's been several days. When will the institute get the results?" Pan Yang has been stuck in the stronghold these days. He hasn't been able to move his muscles seriously for several days. He feels that the bones in his body are... It's all going to rust.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Ning Qingyun glanced at him.
"Ah, ah, come quickly! Come quickly! Haiwa is going crazy!" Suddenly someone shouted loudly.
Ning Qingyun and Pan Yang looked at each other and ran together in the direction of the sound.
"What's going on?" Pan Yang saw someone tying another person with a rope from a distance, and the person who was tied up was struggling like crazy.
"Brother, Haiwa suddenly went crazy just now. He had the same symptoms as Yongzi. He wanted to bite me, but I trapped him." The person who spoke was named Zhang Tao. He and Haiwa are good partners. They have always been inseparable from Meng Buli. Jiao.
"Did you leave the stronghold today?" Pan Yang asked with a frown.
"No!" Zhang Tao denied.
"Has Haiwa ever left?" Pan Yang asked again.
"No, we have been together all the time. We have never even gone to the toilet separately!" Zhang Tao said.
Others in the stronghold heard the movement and gathered around. They nodded when they heard Zhang Tao's words.
"Seal the stronghold immediately. No one is allowed to leave. Remember not to leave any exits. If you encounter an outsider you don't know, capture him alive if you can. If not, kill him immediately." Ning Qingyun immediately gave the order.
"Yes." Pan Yang agreed and went to give the order.
"Come on, you two, gag him and tie him up." Ning Qingyun pointed at the two team members watching in front.
The two team members carefully tied up the crazy-looking Haiwa and stuffed a towel for wiping sweat into his mouth.
Haiwa's originally normal teeth have become longer, and her mouth is somewhat deformed.
"Boss, all exits of the stronghold have been blocked. No outsiders have been found yet. Our subordinates have sent people to investigate in all directions." Not long after, Pan Yang came back to report.
Zhang Tao was leading Ning Qingyun around. He was recalling the places he and Haiwa had walked before. After walking several times, he found nothing unusual.
Suddenly, he patted his head and suddenly remembered a place, and led Ning Qingyun and others to a spring.
Ning Qingyun and his party looked at the gurgling spring. The water in the spring was very thin. The water was crystal clear and looked very clean. However, the water was blue and looked a little strange.
"Captain, deputy commander, it should be the water problem. When I passed by here just now, Haiwa thought this spring was fun and the water was clean, so she washed her face with this water. I thought the color of the water was strange, so I didn't dare to touch it. . Apart from that, the two of us have come into contact with the same things and traveled the same path." Zhang Tao said.
"This spring just appeared. I walked here before and didn't find this spring." Pan Yang frowned in thought.
"Since it may be the problem here, let's block it here." Pan Yang said.
"No." Ning Qingyun waved his hand to stop him.
"Boss, if you don't block this place, are you still going to let the official people come to find out the cause?" Pan Yang said anxiously.
He was really afraid that if Ning Qingyun had to let the authorities intervene in the investigation, wouldn't their stronghold be handed over to others?
"of course not."
"However, we still have to confirm whether it is the water problem?" Ning Qingyun looked around and said.
Everyone around them backed away, no one wanted to try.
"Is there any prey still alive in the kitchen?" Ning Qingyun asked.
Someone from the onlookers immediately responded, "Yes, leader, there are some long-tailed finches in the kitchen, I'll catch them right now!"
After a while, the team member came back carrying the cage.
