I called to a few of them and asked them to follow me and move forward while carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, two or three corpses appeared under our feet in the direction directly in front of us. In addition, they were also carrying equipment and backpacks.
However, everything inside was empty. Apparently, their companions should have taken away all the supplies inside, leaving only the backpack.
"Do you know these people?"
I looked back at Li Ba and asked for his opinion.
Li Ba shook his head at me with a blank expression.
"I don't know who these people are. But it can be seen that their equipment is very sophisticated. There is a high probability that they are members of the other two teams."
Speaking of this, a hint of uneasiness appeared on Li Ba's face.
"Is there danger here too?"
I nodded and sniffed the air around me carefully.
The blood on these corpses has dried up. It seems that they have been dead here for a while, but there is no fresh blood added.
And based on the clothes they were wearing, I felt that the people in front of me probably belonged to the Han family. After all, I had seen most of their clothes under the siege of Beanhead Grass.
These few should be subordinates of the Han family.
And just as I was staring at the corpse on the ground carefully, two sets of footsteps suddenly appeared behind us.
The sound echoed in the hollow and kept getting closer to us.
We looked at each other, and we all saw caution in each other's eyes.
You know, we just burned almost all of the cave clean. Even the corpses and monsters hidden deep in the cave were burned completely.
Why are there still footsteps here? Could it be said that it was a fish that slipped through the net?
We all took out our weapons and stared cautiously in the direction of the entrance of the cave, for fear of being attacked again.
However, just as we were staring at the entrance of the cave, two figures suddenly flashed in front of us, and as they approached, I immediately raised the sword above and rushed towards them.
"ah."
The person rushing at the front was startled by me and couldn't help but scream. I immediately stopped my manual movements and stared at the person in front of me in disbelief with my flashlight.
"It's you, why did you come here?"
I didn't expect to see Han Xue in this place. At this time, Han Xue's clothes were in tatters and her face was dirty. It was obvious that she had experienced a lot of hardships when she came to this place.
At this time, a person suddenly flashed behind Han Xue, and he turned out to be our old friend Zhao Lei.
At this time, Zhao Lei's face was full of sinisterness. Looking at the weapon in my hand, he suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed my wrist directly.
I retreated quickly, dodging this guy's attack and putting some distance between me and the two of them.
I really can't imagine how these two guys got down here, and what are they doing here? And especially Han Xue was imprisoned in the Han family before, with no way to escape. How did she escape now? She even ran underground.
Faced with our doubts, the two of them were also quite vigilant. Han Xue quickly took out a stick, blocked it in front of her, and stared at me carefully.
I am nothing more than an enemy of this guy, and if they hadn't taken the lead before, we wouldn't have bothered to argue with them.
I stared at the two of them coldly, and then asked.
"What's going on with you? Why do you suddenly appear in this place? What's the purpose of you two?"
Facing my question, Han Xue was stunned for a moment, but then quickly took a step back and hid behind Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei just stared at me intently, his eyes full of coldness.
"Get out of here, we have to move forward. Don't block the road, or I'll kill you."
I'm too lazy to compete with these two housekeepers. Since they are arrogant and think they can pass through the underground passage with their own abilities, then I will let them try. I also want to see if they have this ability.
He immediately called a few people to retreat and made way for the two of them. Faced with our open-minded attitude, both of them couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.
I shrugged and pointed to the passage directly ahead.
"You go ahead, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. If you hadn't taken the lead last time, I wouldn't bother to argue with you."
After saying that, I looked at the two of them deliberately and provocatively.
"You don't want to just follow us and continue to reap the benefits, do you? I believe that the sudden appearance of the two of you was caused by the fire we lit, right?"
I suddenly felt relieved. It was absolutely impossible for the two of them to reach this place with their own abilities.
The only possibility is to miss it. We kill the monster in front, and the two of them take the opportunity to follow our team and reap the benefits.
That's why I can pass so many levels, so now I don't want them to take advantage of me, so I just let them go to the front.
It's just that I can't figure it out. If the two of them have always wanted to follow us to pick up the leaks, then why did they suddenly rush to the front? Wouldn't it be safer to continue to follow us?
We can still charge in the front, while the two of them guard their base camp from the rear, without having to rush in front of us to block the disaster for us, which is a bit weird.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask. I looked up and glanced behind them.
"Did you two encounter something? Why did you suddenly run into our team?"
When I asked this question, both of them couldn't help but remain silent, and neither of them spoke first.
In the end, Han Xue shook her head and pointed in the direction they came from.
"Someone is chasing us. We were almost hit by them with a knife just now. The flames are not a problem for us. The point is that the group of people is forcing us to move forward."
I shook my head and stared at the two of them in disbelief. It took a long time before I asked.
"Is there another team?"
I didn't expect that after us, there was another team quietly following in, and it was obvious that we were being used as a gun.
The team behind us has been relying on us to eliminate the crisis in front, while we are carefully following behind us to reap the benefits.
Although I don't understand what kind of conflict this group had with Han Xue and the others, it was said that these two parasite-like teams were directly in conflict with each other, and this was brought to light.
But obviously, I can never allow such a secretly hidden force to continue to follow us. If we encounter danger at any time, they will directly cut the firewood, and then we will all be finished.
I thought for a while, then looked directly at Han Xue and the others.
"You must also know that if you two continue to move forward, you will encounter more dangers. Maybe you two will not survive at all."
When I said this, the two of them were silent for a moment, and no one spoke again. But obviously, I could see from the expressions on their faces that what I said had already moved them both.
At this time, Zhao Lei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up and asked in a cold voice.
"If you have any ideas, you can talk about it. If it's suitable, I can cooperate with your team."
Talking to smart people saves worry and effort. I directly stated my purpose and asked the two of them if they could cooperate with us in the future and find a way to force out the team behind us.
"Now that you two have been exposed, and the team behind you will never tolerate you following them, so your only option is our team."
I only pointed out a few people behind me and showed our strength at the same time.
"Follow us and move forward together. At least when you two face most dangers, we will have a few of us in charge. I don't want such a team behind us. If he secretly attacks us, we Maybe everything will be in danger.”
Zhao Lei was really smart and understood what I meant instantly. After nodding, he directly expressed his attitude.
"I can go and lure them out, but you have to make the illusion of moving forward. These people seem to be monitoring you, so they know all your movements."
I was stunned and immediately looked around involuntarily. I didn't know where the hidden thread they were hiding was.
Just as I was about to speak, Zhao Lei sneered and then pointed at the equipment we were carrying.
"Are you stupid? Haven't you seen who is following you?"
Seeing him pointing at the equipment in my hand, two faces suddenly came to my mind. These were Zhao Yueming and Zhuge Chalcedony who came in with us.
If it is their team, then everything makes sense. We are carrying the equipment they gave us, and this equipment contains positioning signal equipment.
So where we are next and to what extent we are, they can all observe it through positioning instruments.
Even everything we say can be transmitted to their ears through the communication microphone in this device.
If you put it this way, then we were actually used as spearmen by these guys before, charging here, but opened up a path for them.
The moment I understood all this, it seemed that our words were also transmitted to Li Yueming's ears through our devices.
There was a sudden chuckle behind us, and the next second two figures slowly walked towards our direction.
"I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly."
