Even the old patriarch was a little surprised by this sound.
He didn't even expect that the person he thought was dead would actually come back.
more importantly.
The other party seems to have become a little different...
The old patriarch has indeed experienced great storms.
Even though he was a little surprised, he didn't show it, and a rare smile appeared on his old face.
"It turns out you're still alive. That's great. Could it be because the landing location of the spacecraft was off?"
Mote said to himself, good guy, it turns out you really knew that thing would land directly in the pile of sea beasts!
Could it be that as soon as I landed, the pollution launcher I carried with me would automatically turn on, and then I would be torn into pieces in two or three strokes. The launcher would just stay in place, and the attracted sea beasts would also stop moving forward.
As soon as that person appears, he will be faced with a swarm of ferocious mutated sea beasts and attack him?
This abacus is really loud enough!
Mort cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he returned to his usual cautious and subservient attitude.
First, he bowed respectfully to the clan leader, and then knelt straight on the ground under the astonished gazes of the two men.
"Sorry, I didn't complete the mission. As soon as I landed, the man was already standing guard. He knocked me out and I didn't know anything about it after that."
After a pause, Mott seemed to feel his whole body, with regret and resentment on his face.
"The things you gave me, Patriarch, are also lost. I think they were snatched away by that person!"
It was precisely because he took away your things that you saved your life, idiot!
But it seems that the outsider doesn't know that thing can attract sea beasts.
So logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to come back...
How did he come back?
The old patriarch was thinking secretly when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a distance.
"What? You won't let me in? Don't you know who I am? Report? I don't have this rule here. What are you talking about? Is it set by the patriarch? Sorry, that has nothing to do with me. So, I'll go in and tell him .”
Before the old patriarch could react, Li Yi was already standing opposite him with a smile on his face. He looked unscathed and did not look like he had been through a battle at all.
And this was less than five minutes after the clan leader received the news that he was still alive!
Maybe someone will ask when you get here.
Didn’t the protagonist come back first?
Why did he arrive later than Mott?
This question couldn't be simpler. Although Li Yi left first, he did not return to the underground world immediately.
In other words, he had already arrived in the underground world before he officially appeared in front of everyone.
Remember that underground rocket silo?
Li Yi came back from that place without passing the elevator.
He first went back to take a look, and found out what Xiao Jin had done. After asking in detail, he came up with some plans.
So, he sneaked near the elevator and pretended to have just come back.
What I didn't expect was that I happened to run into Mott who was coming back.
But because the two didn't arrive at the same time.
And he and Mott left the lift at different times.
Because both of them were under surveillance, once discovered, they were reported directly to the old patriarch and others.
Therefore, on this point, the old patriarch is convinced.
At least the clues so far have not gone in the direction that Li Yi was worried about.
He felt that as long as there was nothing wrong with the patriarch's mind, he would not have thought that the two of them were colluding together.
So his opening statement was:
"Mr. Li is back too? I'm still worried. I'm afraid you don't know that the sea beast is attacking the city!"
"What! Real or fake?"
Li Yi was shocked when he heard this. He was very confident that her acting skills should be enough to deceive the "old-eyed" patriarch in front of him.
So he performed very hard.
Well, at least from the eyes of the old patriarch, he seemed to have succeeded.
"Yes, I haven't had time to tell you about this yet. After all, this is our dungeon's own business. Mr. Li is just a guest. I don't think it is necessary to let you know..."
"What is this nonsense?"
Li Yi looked upright and solemn.
"It's just that I didn't know before, but now I know. Even though I'm only here temporarily, I still have to do my part within my ability. Tell me, what's the use of me?"
After finishing speaking, Li Yi took the initiative to speak out without waiting for the old patriarch to speak.
"Let's see. I think my personal combat power is pretty good. If we are attacking a city, then defense should be very important, right? I personally apply to be able to defend an area that you think is important to the clan leader. Let's defend the key areas first!"
When the clan leader heard this, he frowned slightly, then relaxed quickly, nodded, and actually agreed.
"Okay, then I'll bother Mr. Li. I think with Mr. Li's strength, it really shouldn't be wasted. Let's do this. I'll make the decision. You can defend the library!"
Li Yi didn't doubt that he was there and handed him over.
"Okay, then I'm going!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out with big steps.
The old patriarch turned his eyes to look at Mott, his tone was calm, and there was no trace of fluctuation.
"Since you are back too, let's go with him. Mr. Li is an outsider after all. There are many things he doesn't know about. Please help me and go!"
When Mote took the order and left, the old patriarch's tone instantly turned cold.
This time he said it to Zhu Li.
"Go! Your first task is to monitor these two people. Remember to hide them and don't expose yourself."
When Zhu Li heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, and at the same time he felt a full sense of burden welling up in his heart.
But instead of being confused and uneasy, he was secretly happy.
What does this mean?
This means that the former captain is completely distrusted!
And now I am the one who is truly trusted!
Hahaha!
I'm finally going to be prosperous!
Ignoring the ecstasy in his heart and trying his best to suppress the unmistakable joy on his face, Zhu Li bent down and bowed respectfully to the old patriarch.
"Yes! I obey my orders!"
Even the title has been changed!
Looking at the figure that seemed to be floating even when walking, the old patriarch couldn't help but reveal a faint smile tinged with disgust.
idiot!
"Idiot! If he asks you to come, just do it!"
Li Yi looked at Mott speechlessly with a face that didn't know what to do.
He has never seen anyone so stupid!
"Is there any problem? Didn't he just ask me to accompany you to that library...wait! The library?"
"Hmm, hmm? What happened to the library?"
Li Yi suddenly noticed that Mott's face turned ugly. He heard the word "library" and asked curiously.
"Do you know where that is?"
"...Isn't it a place where books are stored?"
"It's more than just a collection of books! There...that's where..."
"What is it? Is there a problem? Yes, there is a problem in the first place, so he would send you to follow us, right? I guess he is already suspecting that you are colluding with me."
"Really? Why can't I tell?"
"Ah……"
Li Yi sneered, but didn't speak. Just now, when he came out to speak, he deliberately activated his telepathy ability (note: abilities and skills are not related. Currently, the protagonist's ability is only level one, which means he can sense specific people within a certain range. Thoughts in my mind), so I heard two completely different voices.
The old patriarch doesn't need to say much about the man who was standing next to the old patriarch just now.
That ecstasy, and what was going through his mind.
It's obviously related to the two of them.
"You mean..., no, why did that person just..."
Mott was already a little incoherent, because he suddenly remembered that the place where the newcomer was standing just now was exactly where he and Rayleigh had stood before.
That is the position that only an absolute confidant is qualified to stand in!
Only then did he finally understand why Li Yi said this.
He is no longer trusted by the old patriarch!
Otherwise, he would have been standing there just now, and then the newcomer would have performed such trivial tasks!
After sighing, Mott didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at the moment.
This is the mentality of a little animal that has been abandoned by its owner.
Somewhat reluctant, but also very angry, plus a little confused about what to do.
So he had no choice but to ask for help from the person in front of him. Perhaps he was the only one who had the ability to help him do something.
"Then what should we do now?"
"You're asking me?"
Li Yi pointed at himself, and then at the little dwarf who had come with the mission to assassinate him.
Is this guy not crazy?
