The flat land had long since become a pile of ruins, but the grenades still had some power, if it weren't for the fact that someone had built something on this flat land before.
Those two grenades that landed earlier might have actually destroyed this flat area.
Flames spread across the flat ground, with the wreckage of bombed cars scattered everywhere.
The only sound was the wind blowing through the fire; there was no other noise around.
Luo Chen called out a few more times, but still no one answered.
Finally, Luo Chen realized that he might have fallen into a trap.
A diversionary tactic?
Luo Chen frowned, his anger growing more and more evident on his face.
This feeling of being manipulated was extremely unpleasant, and at one point it even felt like an unnamed fire was burning fiercely in his heart.
Were we manipulated?
Or have Mu Shanhai and the others already left?
Luo Chen picked up a torch from the ground and then walked towards the place where his old friend had been.
The old man had been hiding under a mound of earth. When Luo Chen walked over and lit the spotlight with a torch, he could see some signs of human intervention.
There were no other useful clues to be found.
"Damn it!" Luo Chen cursed under his breath as he looked at the mound of earth, then picked up a torch and walked toward the spot where Qi Tianlong and the others had been hiding.
"Jiang Xian'er?"
"Mu Shiyu?"
No matter how much Luo Chen called out, there was still no response.
When Luo Chen walked down that slope with the torch in his hand.
There was no sign of anyone.
Mu Shiyu and the others have completely disappeared.
Yes, they may have encountered an accident when Luo Chen went up the mountain to kill people.
What Luo Chen couldn't understand was how an accident could happen so quickly, with a grandmaster like Qi Tianlong and an experienced mercenary like Lao Tie.
There wasn't even much of a commotion.
The mountain opposite is not far away, nor is it high. If there is any sound below, Luo Chen will definitely hear it.
Was it because I was too focused on killing that I didn't hear the sound?
Luo Chen was filled with deep self-blame. Firstly, if he couldn't find Mu Shiyu, it would mean that his mission couldn't be completed, preventing him from returning.
Secondly, Luo Chen's current identity is that of a mercenary. In other words, this mission failed, and the employer disappeared. If you, a mercenary, know nothing about it, isn't that dereliction of duty?
"If I hadn't found you, I would have killed you all." Luo Chen stared at the slope, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
He was like a lion poised to pounce, ready to kill any enemy at any moment.
"Huh? What is this?" Just as Luo Chen was at a loss, the torch illuminated the platform on the slope, and he suddenly squatted down.
There was a piece of cloth on the ground. Luo Chen picked it up and looked at it in his hand.
The white flakes looked a bit like scraps of cloth on clothes.
Then Luo Chen held it to his nose and smelled it.
Instantly, Luo Chen's eyes widened in shock.
This, this is the taste of six-leaf bone.
Yes, this is the taste of the six-leaf berry that Jiang Xian'er picked by the roadside.
White scraps of cloth, six-leaf ribs.
These two words kept popping into Luo Chen's mind; he wanted to bring these two things together as soon as possible.
There must be some connection between them.
It can be ruled out that this is not the clothing of any of them. Although Mu Shiyu is wearing white, Luo Chen understands that it is completely different from the piece of cloth in his hand.
White?
White?
"That's right." Luo Chen's eyes lit up, as if a bright light had been lit in his mind.
He remembered what the thin man on the mountain had said: they had met several people on the road, who were also dressed in white.
Yes, it must be them.
A look of joy finally appeared on Luo Chen's face, even though this discovery didn't prove anything and couldn't directly tell him where Mu Shiyu and the others had gone.
But at least it's better than finding nothing.
Luo Chen left the slope and arrived at the dilapidated building, which had been reduced to ruins by the impact of the grenades.
He found the walkie-talkie he had hidden there earlier, and then picked it up and tried it out.
But no one answered on any of the channels.
"Stay calm, it's just a minor problem." Luo Chen encouraged himself silently, without the slightest discouragement; it was just a simple accident.
Even before the mission began, didn't the system say that this mission would be quite difficult?
Luo Chen hadn't expected that this time the difficulty would be so great.
Compared to the first level, it's a world of difference.
[System, this is such a huge leap!]
Luo Chen inwardly groaned, but managed to compose himself.
Start looking for useful clues on the flat ground. If you can find one clue, you can find a second, or even a third.
Didn't so-and-so say that?
Everything is incredible; if you look closely, you will surely find what you are looking for.
Hmm... Luo Chen mustered his courage. After all, he had been a major villain before, so he had some ability to withstand pressure.
After all, in front of a known protagonist, the main villain naturally needs to have some skills.
Luo Chen launched a comprehensive search.
He simply couldn't believe that with a grandmaster like Qi Tianlong around, such an accident could have happened.
Although Qi Tianlong couldn't defeat him, it was impossible for him to have no reaction at all.
Upon realizing this, Luo Chen was stunned.
[Yes, it's impossible for a Grandmaster like Qi Tianlong not to react. And this piece of cloth in my hand is very likely from the group of people in white that the thin man and his companions encountered. According to her, those were a few people doing something by the roadside, and he had no idea what Luo Chen meant by the Six-Leaf Bone.]
This explains why the Six-Leaf Bone was deliberately placed there by someone else. After Luo Chen and his group took it, the people in white appeared and retrieved it. That's why the thin man didn't see the Six-Leaf Bone by the roadside, but only saw the people in white.
"Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense now." Luo Chen finally felt a little better. He did have some intelligence after all; otherwise, it would have been really hard to survive in this cruel world.
My poor Fairy Peak, ugh, Jiang Xian'er, where are you?
"The problem still lies with Liu Ye Gu. If it weren't for Liu Ye Gu's problem, Lao Tie and Qi Tianlong wouldn't have been completely unresponsive."
Without hesitation, Luo Chen walked to the roadside, took a torch, and examined the roadside.
If that's the case, it means that after Luo Chen left, that group of people arrived. What method did they use to prevent Qi Tianlong and the others from exerting their strength and forcing them to be taken away?
There will definitely be new car wheels by the roadside; even if there aren't any here, there will definitely be some ahead.
Luo Chen put aside this thought and prepared to explore ahead.
"Help!"
Suddenly, just as Luo Chen lifted his foot, he heard a weak voice.
The voice was extremely weak. If Luo Chen were not a grandmaster and his senses were more acute than those of an ordinary person, he might not have been able to hear it.
"Who are you?"
"Where are you?"
"Who are you?"
Luo Chen called out a few more times, but there was no reply.
