Although Gu Zixiao's sudden methods were shocking, the newcomers were actually quite capable as well.

The few disgruntled newcomers tried to resist, but no matter how many tricks they tried, Gu Zixiao could not break free from her restraints and prevent them from speaking.

This infuriated them, and they glared at Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao with great resentment.

The person in charge couldn't stand it any longer and said coldly, "If you still don't follow instructions, then when you arrive at the destination, please leave on your own and don't affect our mission progress."

This mission is of utmost importance, and these newcomers are being so careless about such a trivial matter. If it really affects the mission, how will they be held accountable?

Seeing that the person in charge had said so, the newcomers could only glare at Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao with aggrieved expressions.

They exchanged glances and decided to teach Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao a lesson after this mission.

Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao didn't take their little worries seriously at all.

Gu Zixiao put his arm around Lan Yao's waist, allowing Lan Yao to comfortably lean on his shoulder.

Lan Yao complied with Gu Zixiao's suggestion, leaned on Gu Zixiao's shoulder, and closed her eyes to rest.

A rumbling sound filled his ears. He closed his eyes and didn't know how much time had passed when he felt the helicopter begin to descend slowly. Once it reached a certain altitude, he said at the top of his lungs to everyone inside the cabin, "Now, you may leave the cabin on your own."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the cabin door, and jumped out first.

The other elderly people were already used to this, and after getting dressed, they jumped down one by one without any order.

The newlyweds exchanged glances. Although they were a little scared inside, they still put on a very calm appearance.

They followed the example of the old people and jumped down one after the other.

Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao exchanged a glance, and Lan Yao secretly tickled Gu Zixiao's palm.

Gu Zixiao immediately knew what Lan Yao was planning to do.

Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao have always been on the same wavelength.

So, the moment those newcomers jumped, Gu Zixiao used a little trick.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the air, and the newcomers, who had finally managed to stabilize themselves, were blown about by the sudden gust, completely losing control of their bodies. Every now and then, one by one, they tried to let out a scream.

Then they suddenly remembered the methods Gu Zixiao had used on them before, which rendered them unable to make a sound.

Then, those screams that wanted to be uttered could only be suppressed in the chest, neither rising nor falling, which was extremely frustrating.

He glanced down and found the newcomers quite comical. He patted Gu Zixiao on the shoulder, and without waiting for Gu Zixiao to say anything, he jumped down first. He was extremely fast and very stable, reaching the ground in no time.

Gu Zixiao followed closely behind, quickly jumping out of the cabin and coming to his side.

The two landed one after the other, their bodies as steady as dogs, their movements light and graceful, a beautiful scene that made everyone sigh in admiration.

A true master is indeed a master; their skill level is simply different from that of ordinary people.

He was responsible. Seeing the newcomers still floating in mid-air, dawdling and unable to come down, he frowned, ignored them, and waved to the veterans, "Go."

Time is of the essence; we don't have time to deal with those useless fools.

If they really die here, it's their own fault; they're simply not skilled enough, and they have no one else to blame but themselves.

Other elderly people were already used to this, after all, they had gone through the same thing when they were young.

They are just a bit luckier, and their mentality is not as arrogant and rude as that of the newcomers.

Yes, that greatly increases the chances of surviving a mission.

When you're out on a mission, the moment you receive the assignment, you must always remember how to protect your life.

Lan Yao nudged Gu Zixiao's arm and glanced upwards with her eyes, "Are you really just going to leave them like this?"

This was completely unexpected by Lan Yao.

Gu Zixiao: "Don't worry about them. Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate. This is just a test for them."

Lan Yao understood. Whether or not I could complete this mission was a test for these newcomers.

They traveled light and quickly arrived at their destination.

It was a deep pit, and there were some scattered things around it. It looked like someone had been here doing something before.

Judging from the aura emanating from the vicinity of the deep pit, Lan Yao instantly knew what had happened there.

Gu Zixiao, standing beside her, explained, "This deep pit contains an ancient tomb."

Lan Yao nodded to indicate that she understood.

Gu Zixiao: "After receiving the news, our archaeologists immediately sent people to investigate. At first, they didn't find any problems."

However, after some trial and error, they managed to open the ancient tomb. Many archaeologists dreamt in the middle of the night that they were invited to a banquet by a richly dressed man.

When they woke up, they discovered that everyone present, except for a very few who had passed away, had been invited to the banquet.

The banquet was grand in scale, with a magnificent palace setting, beautiful and friendly maids, and graceful dancers performing enchanting dances on the stage. The music was mesmerizing, captivating all who heard it.

Not to mention the delicious food and the refreshingly sweet wine, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Even after they woke up, they still wanted to participate again.

Lan Yao: "And then they started receiving invitations one after another?"

Gu Zixiao nodded: "That's exactly right. I was invited in my dreams for several days in a row, and then..."

Lan Yao continued for him, "They all just disappeared?"

Gu Zixiao: "Yes. Then, many people also discovered that the large tomb had also disappeared."

That's not all. Every night, the sounds of stringed instruments and other seductive music fill the area, an irresistible temptation.

Lan Yao said "Oh," and then, "So what? What threat is there?"

Gu Zixiao: "Everyone who hears this music, regardless of gender, wants to sacrifice themselves. Luckily, there aren't many people here, otherwise it would cause chaos."

Interestingly, beautiful women started appearing in the middle of the night.

The beauties are dressed in ancient costumes. They are very beautiful, and every gesture is incredibly alluring. They try to talk to you and become your friend.

But those who confided in them wanted to sacrifice themselves to marry them.

Lan Yao: ...
