Even if Zhuge Ling wasn't the one who planned this scheme, the forces behind her would definitely be completely defenseless against the potion!
This is the absolute confidence of the Deputy Leader of the Creation Cult!
They might even gain access to an entire bandit faction in the wilderness.
As time went on, Ye Bufan spoke up: "It's about time. Xunhuo should have noticed the anomaly by now."
"Seeking Fire" is the name of this group of thieves, and they are probably starting to contact the two missing thieves now.
They approached the motorcycle and started chatting.
"Old Fan, those two thieves at the monitoring station have confessed that they were attacked by wilderness bandits. What's next?"
Ye Bufan replied: "Hmm... I remember there's a monitoring station next door, right?"
Shang Wu spoke up: "Yes, according to what those two just said, the highest level of Xun Huo is only a ninth-level martial artist, but there is a Grandmaster stationed at the nearby monitoring station."
Ye Bufan nodded: "Perfect, we can't just watch our technicians suffer. Let's go ask for help and wipe out these thieves."
Qi Jie nodded: "Good idea, we might even get more points in the end."
"Let's go then. Cross a mountain range to the southeast, and the monitoring station is deep in the forest."
"Let's go." Ye Bufan remembered, "Oh right, put the motorcycle away, we can still sell it for some money when we get back."
The sound ends here.
Inside a simple cave, the thief in charge of making contact turned pale and hurriedly ran deeper into the cave.
"Boss! Something terrible has happened, boss!"
Holding a whole steak, the man angrily yelled at the bottle of red wine, "What's the panic! What could possibly happen!"
"Boss, the attack on the monitoring station has been exposed. Someone went to request help from nearby areas, including a Grandmaster!"
"What?!"
The leader's face turned grim. He abruptly stood up and shouted, "Let's go! We can't let them find reinforcements!"
"Boss, wait a minute." A thin figure next to him suddenly called out, "Could there be a trap here?"
"A trap?" The leader paused, then shouted, "A trap? Who cares if it's real or fake? If a grandmaster comes, we'll all die!"
"But…"
"Stop babbling! If you have time, go and persuade those old bones!"
It was a matter of life and death, and the boss wasn't in the mood to listen to the strategist's ramblings.
"Let's go! Fire-hunting team, set off!"
Leading their most elite group, the leader and his men rushed out of the cave in an instant.
Although they are not as strong as their leader, they can still buy some time if they encounter a grandmaster.
The thin man shook his head helplessly, thought for a moment, and realized there was no problem.
It's perfectly normal for someone coming to inspect the monitoring station to encounter two people who were being patrolled, discover they've been attacked by thieves, and then seek help out of concern for the safety of the technicians.
Given that the voice sounded very young and he wasn't trying too hard, it's normal that he didn't notice the motorcycle was being monitored.
Besides, he's planning to sell the motorcycle for money, and he's still just a kid.
At the entrance of the cave, watching a group of figures rush out, a person wearing a hood whose face could not be seen nodded.
The plan is going smoothly, and that group of people should be coming here soon.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, someone appeared beside him and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey bro, you've been here for a week, why are you still so withdrawn?"
"I'm used to it," came the cold, indifferent reply.
"I'm telling you, you can't survive in our Fire-Seeking community like this."
"oh."
Leng Xu calmly said, "I'll be leaving in a few days."
"Okay, then."
Due to their unique way of survival, wilderness bandits often recruit down-on-their-luck bandits they encounter on the road. Some of them will join their ranks, while others will remain lone wolves.
Leng Xu was taken in a few weeks ago and is responsible for guarding the prison.
It was he who overheard the researchers' conversation and learned that someone was missing, so he sent people out to find them.
After everyone left, Leng Qing opened the portable computer on her arm and tapped a few times on the mini keyboard.
In the nearby forest, a drone also began to work at this time, and the sound of its fan attracted countless scarlet eyes.
This isn't the only one; similar drone launches have occurred in other places as well.
Leng Xu glanced back at the cave, then turned and left without hesitation.
In order to keep Zhuge Ling's identity from being exposed, it is impossible for these researchers to be rescued. All we need to do is use this crisis to strengthen their relationship.
The figure quickly disappeared outside the cave. Some of the strange beasts in the area gradually became irritated by the drone and wanted to smash it with a slap.
The drone, however, skillfully evaded the attack and flew slowly in the same direction.
As night fell, it wasn't the strange beasts that arrived first, but Ye Bufan and his companions.
The faint light inside the cave stopped them in their tracks; this was their temporary base for searching for fire.
"Be careful," Zhuge Ling said worriedly.
"Direction." Ye Bufan turned to Yu Rui: "I'm entrusting her to you."
"Um."
Yu Rui calmly replied, watching the three of them approach the cave step by step.
"Let's go, it's not safe to stay here."
Yu Rui got up and led Zhuge Ling to a hill not far away, keeping a close eye on the cave in the distance.
"Why don't you go with them? I'll be fine on my own," Zhuge Ling said worriedly.
"I won't die." Yu Rui said playfully, "But you, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, you're a first-level martial artist. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"I?"
Zhuge Ling shook her head: "It's good enough that I survived those two scumbags. Dying under the monsters would have been better than that."
That's not what I meant.
Yu Rui's naked gaze fell on her: "You, a first-level martial artist, came here as an undercover agent, aren't you afraid of dying?"
Zhuge Ling asked blankly, "What are you talking about?"
“That’s pointless,” Yu Rui said calmly. “You should say that your goal is living weapons.”
Upon hearing the name, Zhuge Ling's heart skipped a beat, but her face still showed confusion: "What is that?"
"You didn't know?" Yu Rui teased, "You guys can browse forums, right? These days, forums are full of discussions about live weapons."
These words made Zhuge Ling realize what was happening. The confusion on her face receded like a tide, and she sighed, "I miscalculated."
"Not pretending anymore?"
Zhuge Ling shook her head: "Since you've discovered it, why don't you tell the others?"
"Who said I'm not going to tell anyone else?"
Yu Rui took out a cup, opened the potion in front of Zhuge Ling, and poured it in.
"I'll drink it and not tell anyone else."
Zhuge Ling narrowed her eyes, looked at the transparent potion, and said coldly, "Do you think I'm that stupid?"
"Do you feel you have some options?"
These words brought a bright smile to Zhuge Ling's face, and she slowly spoke.
"Since you know I have someone backing me, why do you think I'm all alone here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a point of red light fell on Yu Rui's brow.
"Sniper?"
"Yes, I advise you not to make any moves. This has been modified and can kill a sixth-level martial artist."
Zhuge Ling, confident of victory, said playfully, "You should drink this cup yourself."
