Chapter 697: Evil plot (two chapters in one)
“What should we do next?” Zhao Xiaoya lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.
"In this situation, we can only move forward after those strange beasts leave." Chen Zhiyuan said, and then he looked at Wu Qingfang.
"That's the only way it can be." Wu Qingfang nodded and said.
"If these strange beasts never leave, then we will have to stay here and waste time with them?" Zhao Xiaoya asked.
"If those strange beasts don't leave, we will have to go back the way we came and find other ways to see if we can bypass them..." Chen Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said.
After hearing these words, Wu Qingfang looked around and found that the terrain ahead was open and it was impossible to bypass those strange beasts.
"Our luck is really bad! Not long after we set off, we encountered a strange beast blocking the way." Zhao Xiaoya muttered.
"There are so many strange beasts here now. If we continue to go into the valley, the risk factor will be greatly increased. In my opinion, we might as well evacuate from here for the time being..." Chen Zhiyuan suddenly proposed the idea of evacuating. suggestion.
Wu Qingfang immediately shook her head and expressed her objection, "Uncle Chen, no one has explored this place before. The value should be quite high. It would be a pity to just give up and leave.
Moreover, the dangers we encountered are still within the controllable range, so there is no need to leave this place in a hurry..."
Chen Zhiyuan thought for a while, nodded, and then everyone hid on the high slope. In the grass, patiently waiting for the strange beast in the distance to leave.
"Roar..."
But what was strange was that the tense atmosphere lasted for a long time. The beasts didn't fight, they just kept roaring at each other
Wu Qingfang and his party, who were hiding in the grass on the high slope, looked warily at the alien beasts that were about to break out in the distance at first.
It has been a while now, and these strange beasts have not been seen fighting. Everyone suddenly feels a little tired and no longer tense.
Some guards were so bored that they lay down in the grass and dozed off.
"Why do these strange beasts only move their mouths but not their hands? It's really strange..." Zhao Xiaoya yawned out of boredom and complained.
“Maybe because the two sides are evenly matched, the two leading beasts feel that if they take action, the gains will outweigh the losses in the end, so they just talk.”
Based on his rich experience, Chen Zhiyuan speculated on the strange behavior of the strange beast that kept roaring in the distance.
"If we had known that we would encounter this kind of thing, we should have set off later this morning and stayed at the previous camp to sleep a little longer." Zhao Xiaoya yawned again.
She got up a little early this morning, and now she was lying on the grass, feeling a little sleepy.
Wu Qingfang observed everyone and found that several guards were lying on the grass and seemed to be asleep. She turned her head and said to Zhao Xiaoya beside her.
"I got up a little early this morning, Xiaoya, if you are sleepy, take a nap for a while. If something happens, I will call you..."
After hearing what her young lady said, Zhao Xiaoya quickly shook her head, "Miss, you'd better squint for a while! I'm not sleepy."
Wu Qingfang smiled and said nothing.
The people hiding in the grass lay on the grass for a while. The strange beasts in the distance reduced the frequency of roaring at each other, but they still had no intention of leaving.
Zhao Xiaoya, who had previously said she was not sleepy, had closed her eyes and dozed off.

Blue Star, Ping'an Garden Community, Room 602, Building 3.
"I'm leaving..." Lin Li said with a smile after finishing the dumplings.
"Yes." Xia Qing nodded, and then sent Lin Li to the door.
After Lin Li came out of his neighbor's house, he didn't go home. Instead, he pressed the elevator button.
"Are you going out?" Xia Qing, who was standing at the door, asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm going out to do something." Lin Li replied.
Not long after, the elevator door opened. Xia Qing closed the door after Lin Li entered the elevator.
Earlier, Lin Li ate dumplings at Xia Qing's house. The number of dumplings he ate was already two or three times what an ordinary person would eat. Even after eating so many dumplings, he did not fill his stomach.
The so-called going out to do some errands was actually something he had planned before. After eating dumplings, he would go out and find something to eat at a restaurant to fill his stomach.
“Ding.”
The elevator door opened. Lin Li, who had not yet filled his stomach, stepped out of the elevator and walked quickly out of the corridor.
The golden sunshine falling on the body makes people feel a little uncomfortable, especially when they come out of a room filled with air conditioning and suddenly enter such a high temperature environment, the feeling is even more obvious.
Fortunately, Lin Li often hunted exotic animals in the wilderness during this period and experienced harsh environments, so he was very adaptable and quickly adapted to the hot weather outside.
The two little wild cats squatting under a large pruned tree in the green belt saw Lin Li walking out of the corridor and walking quickly to the gate of the community. They didn't even look at them, which made the two little guys a little disappointed.
The little black cat stared at Lin Li's back as he was getting away, and said, "Meow...he just left like that!"
The little white cat guessed, "He left in such a hurry, maybe he went to deal with something urgent."
"Meow... maybe! But now we have nothing to eat." The greedy little cat Black Cat said.
"Meow...why do you think about eating every day now?" Lin Li's figure disappeared, and the little white cat turned his head to look at his friends beside him and complained.
"Meow...what else can you do if you don't want to eat?" the little black cat retorted.
"..." The little white cat was too lazy to argue with his greedy friend. He glared at him, then lay on the ground and took a nap with his eyes closed.
"Meow...that's right! In addition to eating, you can also sleep in." The little black cat muttered to himself when he saw his little friend closing his eyes and taking a nap, and then he also lay down and took a nap.

In a noodle shop, the waitress at the cashier saw a customer walking into the store, and immediately received her very warmly, "Welcome, handsome man, you want to eat some" What?”
Standing in front of the cashier, Lin Li looked at the menu hanging on the wall behind the waiter and browsed it quickly.
“Bring me two large bowls of beef noodles and twenty skewers of kebabs.”
"The beef noodles in our store are very generous. A large bowl of beef noodles is enough to fill you up. If you order so much, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it all."
"It's okay, I can finish it. If you can’t finish it, I’ll take it away.”
< br>"Okay, then you find a seat and sit down first. I will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."
Lin Li nodded, then found a seat in the corner of the restaurant and sat down, waiting. The waiter in the store delivers the food to him.
“Order these first, and then order another one when you are halfway through eating... After lunch, I will clean up the bedroom in the afternoon. If there is a lot of time left, I can go to the ruins space. ”
Lin Li was thinking about what he had to do in the afternoon. At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
"Deep ring ring..." The ringtone came from his pocket, and Lin Li quickly reached out and took out his cell phone.
Zhang Yuxi’s name was displayed on the screen. She hadn’t contacted the other party for a while. The call at this time was probably about business.
“Hello?”
As soon as the call was connected, she was wearing a women's suit, holding a glass of water in her left hand, and a phone in her right hand. She was standing in front of the office window and asked Zhang Yuxi, who was looking into the distance. "Lin Li, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
"It's convenient, what do you want?" Lin Li asked.
"My friend from Beijing has contacted me again. She wants to buy another batch of pearls from you. Do you have the goods now?" Zhang Yuxi asked.
“How many does he need?”
“This time he doesn’t want as many as last time. Do you have 100,000 pills now?”
"Yes, after I finish lunch, I will go to your store to find you."
"Okay, let's see you later."
Ending the call, Zhang Yuxi was all smiles A happy smile appeared on Hong's face.
She turned back to her desk, pulled up a chair, sat down, put the water glass in her hand on the table, and then called her friend who opened a jewelry store in Beijing.
After Lin Li finished the phone call with Zhang Yuxi, he was thinking about the pearls piled up on the mysterious island.
I had collected a batch of pearls and placed them on the mysterious island, just for this time.
But after trading these pearls this time, he would have no goods on hand.
If Zhang Yuxi wants to buy pearls again, he must go back to Dongwu City.
"By the way, I have been away from Dongwu City for a while, and I don’t know how Qin Muqing is doing alone. Should I take some time to go back to Dongwu City?"
Lin Li was thinking about returning to Dongwu City. At this time, the waitress in the store came over with a tray in her hand.
"Sir, this is the large beef noodles you ordered..."
Lin Li looked at the two steaming bowls of beef noodles and asked, "How long will the mutton skewers I ordered last?"
"The mutton skewers you ordered will take five or six minutes to be grilled." The waitress said.
"Yes." Lin Li nodded, temporarily putting aside some of the questions he was thinking about, and began to deal with the beef noodles in front of him.

In a corner of the spiritual world, in the bustling Dongwu City, Qin Muqing was drying clothes in the courtyard of the villa after having lunch.
"Chirping..."
There was a big tree not far away, and some birds standing on the branches looked at Qin Muqing who was drying clothes, and made a series of crisp bird calls. .
Qin Muqing, who has an ordinary appearance and a graceful figure, after drying all the washed clothes, she raised her head and looked at the birds chirping in the distance, and said with a smile.
“It’s quite hot today. Why don’t you hide in the shade of a tree and take a good rest? You’re really energetic when you shout so cheerfully!”
"Chirping..." The birds standing on the branches and chirping happily looked at Qin Muqing. They didn't know if they understood what Qin Muqing said, but they all closed their mouths at this time.
After drying the clothes, Qin Muqing still has other things to do. As she said, the weather today is quite hot.
Under the scorching sun, some flowers in the courtyard were so exposed that they were short of water.
If you don’t water the flowers that are short of water, these flowers of different colors may not survive for long.
After a while, Qin Muqing returned to the villa and found a kettle for watering flowers. After filling it with water, she returned to the courtyard and watered the listless flowers.
"Pitter-patter..."
Clear water poured out. After being nourished, some flowers that were short of water seemed to have recovered a little, and no longer looked as sick as before.
"If the weather stays this hot next time, I will have to water these plants every day..."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Qin Muqing had just finished watering the flowers in the courtyard when someone knocked on the big iron door of her home.
"Who is it?" When she heard the knock on the door, Qin Muqing quickly put the kettle in her hand on the ground and walked towards the door. After arriving at the door, she did not dare to open the door immediately, but asked the person outside the door.
"I am from the Yamen. Miss, please open the door..." The person who knocked on the door introduced himself.
"This voice sounds a little familiar." Qin Muqing listened to the rich voice coming from outside the door, and a vague figure appeared in his mind.
"Click."
Opening the door, a policeman in black clothes stood at the door. Qin Muqing had met this man before. No wonder she felt familiar when hearing his voice.
"Miss, do you still remember me?" The detective in black looked at the woman in front of him and asked.
"Remember, Mr. Detective, why did you come to my house today for something?" Qin Muqing asked.
"It's like this... Several houses around here have been robbed recently. I know you live alone now, so I came here to remind you to be more careful at night." Black-clothed detective Explain your purpose of visit.
“Thief?” Qin Muqing was shocked when she heard this, because she had a bad experience when she first arrived in Dongwu City, so when she heard about this, she would inevitably show a scared expression on her face.
Seeing Qin Muqing's reaction, the black-clothed detective reassured, "From today on, we will send additional patrols in this area at night. You don't need to worry too much..."
< br>
Qin Muqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the black-clothed detective said, and thought to himself, "After the yamen has sent more people, those thieves should not dare to come here."
"You Isn't the master back yet?" After the detective in black finished talking about the thief, he asked about another matter.
"He hasn't come back yet." Qin Muqing, who hadn't seen Lin Li for a while, replied.
"Oh." The black-clothed detective nodded and reminded him again, "When your master comes back, remember to ask him to come to the Yamen to register..."
What to say After all was said and done, this very responsible Yamen agent turned around and left, patrolling elsewhere.
"Bang."
Qin Muqing closed the big iron door and muttered in her mouth as she walked towards the courtyard.
"Mr. Lin, come back quickly! If you don't come back, those thieves with evil intentions will empty the house of valuable things."
"Chirping..."< br>
The bird, which had been quiet for a while, looked at Qin Muqing, who was mumbling something in his mouth, and started chirping again.
