Xu Ting's sudden voice made everyone silent for a moment, and Xu Lei was slightly confused:

"What do you mean no more?"

"The road we drove just now...has disappeared."

"disappear?"

"Yes, the road is gone."

At this time, Levi also pulled Xu Le's sleeve and whispered:

"I checked it with a scorpion, and there are indeed no traces of where it was before, and the trees are in the same condition.

This feeling is very strange, I don’t know if we have been moved or if the trees here have grown again.”

Upon hearing the news, Xu Le and mercenary Lao Wu, who were originally confronting each other, changed their expressions at the same time.

From the look of "I might kill you" to the look of apology, "I was too impulsive".

"It's my problem that I didn't take action, otherwise..."

Lao Wu had just opened his mouth to say something soft, but Xu Le turned out to be more ruthless. He directly apologized and made a statement.

"I spoke harshly just now, and I really shouldn't have. I'm sorry, I'd better let Captain Xu Lei handle the spoils."

Lao Wu squinted at the young warlock in front of him and smiled slightly:

"well."

Levi looked at Xu Le strangely. He didn't understand why Xu Le and the mercenary Lao Wu changed their faces at the same time.

"What's the situation? Did you two discuss it?"

Xu Le glanced at Lao Wu and shook his head slightly:

"The disappearance of traces is definitely not a natural phenomenon. This mercenary Lao Wu must have made the same judgment as me."

"Judgment? What judgment?"

"Be prepared to never go back."

"It's just that the road we came from is gone. Just open a new one and go back. Is it as serious as you said?"

"I also hope that I am wrong in my judgment, but I am a Red Moon Warlock."

You can't go back, at least not for the time being. This was Xu Le's first reaction after hearing Xu Ting's report.

If the mission was abandoned according to the previous situation of being able to go back, he would definitely take a large part of the ghost bear corpse as a trophy.

After all, in one morning, he received 50% of the mission reward for the two of them plus half of the level 3 polluter's loot. He could get at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

It can greatly alleviate a wave of funding problems.

So after learning that the mission was abandoned, there was no need for him to be polite to a temporary team of mercenaries, or even to Xu Lei.

But now the situation has changed, and it is really a hidden danger if the road traces disappear.

When no one can go back, the relationship between the two parties will become very strange.

Because their cooperation will continue.

So both Xu Le and Lao Wu knew that in the next period of time, they would have to maintain this fragile team relationship.

At least until it's clear whether they can go back, the two sides can't quarrel.

This is what caused the two people's attitudes to change at the same time.

The story of Liaozhai must continue, so the fox must put away his tail, and the Taoist priest must also put away his sword.

After finishing this conversation, Xu Le and Lao Wu unexpectedly agreed not to look at the corpse of the ghost bear.

The corpse of the ghost bear that was so delicious just now was suddenly abandoned at this moment.

Before you are sure that you can return safely, carrying such a huge and heavy trophy can only become a burden.

The atmosphere in the team has returned to harmony, but Xu Lei, as the team leader, knows very well that the two sides are just making a temporary compromise.

"Xu Le's way of doing things has changed a lot. He was not so decisive before, nor was he so... like a mercenary." Xu Lei frowned.

"Is this change bad?" Xu Ting asked.

"I don't know if it's okay or not."

Mercenary Lao Wu had returned to Lao Qi at this time, and he asked in a low voice:

"Where are the six old people?"

Lao Qi looked at the direction they came from and was a little confused:

"I don't know. Is he trying to eat those two bear paws?"

"No, Lao Liu wouldn't be so unreliable at this time." Lao Wu shook his head.

"It's not long. You should be able to see our mark. Normally there shouldn't be no response at all. I feel something is wrong. How about I go take a look?"

"Okay, be careful. That warlock suspects me. Go back quickly."

"good."

At this time, Lao Wu and Lao Qi were not at all as reckless and wild as they had just shown. Instead, there was some cunningness unique to mercenaries in their eyes.

She slowly backed away, heading towards the direction of the mother and son bears.

Xu Le kept watching them from the corner of his eye. After confirming that Lao Qi wanted to leave the team, he quickly said to Levis:

"Brother Li, can you follow her?"

"Can."

…

At this time, in the bear's den, the "dead" mercenary Lao Liu slowly got up.

His head was flowing like mud, but soon, the rotten parts returned to their original state.

Lao Liu glanced at the bodies of the mother bear and her cubs on the ground.

He took another look at the direction the team was leaving, and after confirming that no one was coming, he chopped off the bear's paw with a knife.

After cutting off the bear's paw, Lao Liu actually took a bite of it.

It seemed that it was too fishy, ​​so I took out some seasonings and sprinkled some on it.

After taking a few bites, he wrapped the bear's paws and prepared to get up and follow Xu Lei's team.

"Even if it's only half the body of a Level 3 polluter, it should still be worth a lot of money, ha!"

Squeak!

Some tinny sounds came.

Lao Liu stopped and pulled out his machete with a slightly squinted expression. He then took out his barrel gun, cocked the bolt, and looked at the jungle on the other side.

"Who? Come out."

Zhizhizhi! After another small burst, a woman's voice appeared.

"Chaosheng, what are you doing?"

Chaosheng? How many years has no one called this name... Lao Liu's mind almost fell apart instantly, but as an old mercenary.

Adjusting one's own anima state is a compulsory course.

No matter who you are, it doesn't matter if your brothers and sisters die, as long as you don't die.

Anyone who blocks his way will die!

"What the hell, don't pretend to be a fool for me, who the hell are you?"

"Chaosheng, you shouldn't come to this place, leave quickly, it's dangerous here."

Looking at the woman he had longed for before him, Lao Liu fired the shot without any hesitation after warning her once.

boom!

The shotgun almost penetrated the opponent's waist and abdomen, and a large amount of blood sprayed on the ground.

The woman looked at Lao Liu affectionately and persuaded her again:

"Chaosheng, go quickly."

…

At this time, the mercenary Lao Qi who came to look for Lao Liu was kneeling on the ground holding his stomach. The moment she appeared, Lao Liu shot her.

"Fuck you, Wu Laoliu, you want to kill me?"

But Wu Laoliu seemed not to hear her words, and remained silently loading bullets, as if preparing to fire the second shot.

At this moment, Lao Qi finally realized that something was wrong, Lao Liu in front of her was really trying to kill her.

Press the button at the waist lightly and the dagger pops out.

Lao Qi grabbed the dagger and threw it out, instantly cutting through the air and stabbing into Wu Lao Liu's forehead.
