Chapter 990 Attitude Change (two chapters in one)
“This bug is so disgusting.” Lin Li subconsciously took two steps back and said in disgust.
After the ugly black bug crawled out of Cao Yi's nostril, his body began to tremble, then twisted several times, and rolled down to the grass motionless.
Lin Li picked up a branch and stirred the ugly bug a few times, but found that no matter how he stirred it, it didn't respond.
“Pfft.”
The branch pierced the insect's body, and light green liquid flowed from the wound.
Even after causing such damage, this ugly bug still showed no reaction at all.
"Dead."
Lin Li looked at the dead Cao Yi and Chongzi, frowning slightly.
“Which bastard ordered this guy to attack me?”
Originally, he wanted to ask Cao Yi about the person behind the scenes, but now that the clues have been cut off, Lin Li couldn't figure out the reason even if he tried hard.
"Sigh."
"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't waste those brain cells. Get the things on hand first..."
Lin Li He sighed, then adjusted his mentality and put the troubles behind him.
"Peng."
A huge fireball quickly condensed into shape, and then flew towards the dead Cao Yi.
After a while, Lin Li completely eliminated the enemies that sneaked up on him, and then he picked up the trophies left at the scene.
"The workmanship of this dagger is very exquisite. If you sell it, it should be worth a lot of money." Lin Li looked at the trophy with a smile, then turned and headed to where his teammates were.
…………
Rongcheng.
In a luxurious villa, the stooped Qin Liuhe was looking through documents in the study.
Suddenly, a light golden aura appeared between his eyebrows, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Hiss..."
The pain arose spontaneously. Qin Liuhe put down the document in his hand and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.
“Something happened to Cao Yi?”
Qin Liuhe's face was solemn. He got up from his chair and came to the bookshelf.
He reached out and pushed open the bookshelf, and a safe mounted on the wall appeared in front of him.
This alloy safe was custom-made, extremely strong, and difficult to break open with ordinary external force. It cost Qin Liuhe a lot of money.
Enter two different sets of passwords and the alloy safe will open automatically.
Qin Liuhe took out a small sandalwood box from the alloy safe and opened the lid. There was an ugly black worm in the box.
"It's really dead."
Qin Liuhe looked ugly. He reached out to pick up the insect and looked at it carefully for a few seconds to confirm that the insect was indeed dead.
"Huh..."
Take a few deep breaths to calm down the bad mood.
Qin Liuhe came to the desk and sat down, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Cao Yi's number.
"The user you dialed is not in the service area. Please call again later..."
The voice from the mobile phone completely dispelled the remaining hope in Qin Liuhe's heart. He hung up the phone and put it back on the table. superior.
“Dong, dong, dong.”
The fingers gently tapped on the solid wood tabletop, and the atmosphere in the quiet office was very dignified.
"Cao Yi is dead, is the target still alive?" After a long time, Qin Liuhe said to himself.
Although Cao Yi's death was difficult for him to accept, people cannot be resurrected after death. No matter what, he must first know whether the mission has been completed, and then find a way to investigate why Cao Yi died.
Picking up the phone again, Qin Liuhe dialed Gao Qiang's phone number.
“Beep beep.”
The ringtone in the mobile phone rang a few times and the call was connected.
Gao Qiang didn't sleep last night. After the mission, he returned home, took a shower and immediately lay down on the bed to rest.
Just a few hours after sleeping, Qin Liuhe called, which made Gao Qiang feel resentful.
However, thinking of the cruelty of the other party, Gao Qiang, who had resentment in his heart, could only endure his uncomfortable mood, answered the phone, and greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Qin."
"Gao Qiang, something happened to Cao Yi." Qin Liuhe said concisely and concisely.
"Huh?" Gao Qiang, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. When he heard what Qin Liuhe said, he thought he heard it wrong.
"I need you now to confirm whether the man named Lin Li is still alive." Qin Liuhe continued.
Gao Qiang only reacted at this time, and then said with a serious face, "Mr. Qin, something really happened to Cao Yi?"
"I can confirm that he is dead." Qin Liuhe's expression Said lividly.
"Uh..." Gao Qiang heard the other party's tone so confident. Although he didn't know how to verify it, he also understood that there should be no problem with the result.
"Mr. Qin, I will go out now and go to the parking lot where the target arrived today to see if he is alive or dead."
"When you have the results, call me immediately to report."
"Okay."
"And..."
"What else?"< br>
“Regarding Cao Yi, please do not disclose it to the outside world for the time being.”
"Understood, I won't tell anyone else about this without your order."
"Well, go ahead!"
Ending the call, wearing a black tank top and beach shorts Gao Qiang couldn't help but frown.
“How did it become like this?”
“I originally thought that after this surveillance mission was over, I could relax for a while.”
"Now that Cao Yi's death is unclear, we must investigate to the end. I am very busy again."
After a while, Gao Qiang, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the house slowly with a depressed expression on his face.
There was a roar in the parking space of the community, and a black car drove out from the gate of the community, driving quickly on the street, heading to a remote place in the suburbs.
…………
In the endless wilderness, a group of exotic beast hunters were engaged in a fierce battle with the alien beasts.
"Pfft."
Chen Jiaquan dodged the attack of the giant toad beast, waved the weapon in his hand, and made a hole in the opponent's body.
The severe pain made the alien beast wail repeatedly. There was already a gap in strength between the two sides. Now that they have been entangled for so long, it is time to retreat.
The alien hunters found the giant toad alien beast that was so difficult to deal with and quickly retreated, jumped into the river and sank to the bottom, and fled towards the lower reaches of the river.
"We won." Chen Jiaxiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
Others also showed happy smiles at this time, and then they suddenly thought of something, and the smiles on their faces immediately subsided.
As the captain, Chen Jiaquan immediately went to Wu Kui's location without stopping after repelling the alien beasts.
When he came to the other party and saw that the two prospectors were safe and sound, he felt relieved. But then, Chen Jiaquan realized that one person was missing, so he asked quickly.
“Where is Lin Li?”
"He lured the strange beast away."
"This..." Chen Jiaquan frowned, worried about Lin Li's safety.
"Don't worry, with his strength, even if he cannot kill the strange beast, he can still escape safely..." Wu Kui said.
Chen Jiaquan was busy fighting the giant toad beast just now and did not see Lin Li knocking the beast away with one punch. Therefore, after hearing what Wu Kui said, his worry did not lessen.
"Brother, let's go find him now. Maybe we can save him..." Chen Jiaxiang led a group of people to Chen Jiaquan and suggested that they go find Lin Li.
But before he finished speaking, the grass not far away shook for a while, and then Lin Li walked out of the grass.
"Are you still alive?" Everyone saw that Lin Li was safe and sound, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
Lin Li smiled and said, "That alien beast is of average strength and wants my life. Even if it practices for another hundred years, it has no hope."
Everyone present except Wu Kui and the two prospectors felt that Lin Li was telling lies.
Now that the crisis is over, Chen Jiaquan feels that it is still not safe near the river, so he leads everyone away from the river and continues on their way.
At the end of the team, Lin Li held a bottle of mineral water in his hand and drank it slowly.
Not far away, Wu Kui slowed down and came to Lin Li. At this moment, he looked embarrassed and wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What's the matter with you?" Lin Li asked after drinking the water.
"That..." Wu Kui took a deep breath, then exhaled, and then he expressed his gratitude to Lin Li seriously.
“Thank you for taking action just now, otherwise my little life would have been handed down here today.”
Lin Li smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are teammates now. If you are in danger, I will naturally come to your rescue."
Wu Kui raised his hand and scratched his head, and then apologized to Lin Li.
"I'm so sorry, I treated you like that before."
Lin Li is not a small-minded person, he waved his hand and said.
"It doesn't matter. There have been a lot of people questioning me recently. If I care about them all, I won't let my life pass."
Seeing the other party's understanding, Wu Kui said, "At first, I thought you were joining the team through the back door. I didn't expect you to be so strong. It's really amazing."
"Fortunately, my strength is average." Lin Li smiled modestly.
"How did you get rid of that strange beast?" Wu Kui asked.
“I didn’t get rid of that alien beast.”
“Did you get rid of that alien beast?”
"Yeah." Lin Li saw Wu Kui's surprised face, and Feng Qingyun responded calmly.
"..." Wu Kui opened his mouth in shock.
You must know that the colorful leopard beast has the strength of the middle stage of the second level. Even if Chen Jiaquan faces it, he will not be able to defeat it in a short while.
But Lin Li lured the alien beast away and came back not long after. Wu Kui took it for granted that Lin Li got rid of the alien beast and did not consider killing the alien beast at all.
Seeing Wu Kui's shocked expression, Lin Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then he took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
…………
Time passes and the scorching sun shines in the sky.
At noon, the weather was very hot. Lin Li and his group walked on the endless wilderness and spent the whole morning going deep into the wilderness.
At this time, everyone was tired and hungry. Chen Jiaquan, who was leading the way at the front of the team, stopped.
“Brother.” Chen Jiaxiang asked, “Are we going to rest here?”
"Yes." Chen Jiaquan nodded and gave an order to Chen Jiaxiang, "Take someone to explore the surrounding area. If you find any strange beasts lurking around, report to me immediately."
"Yes." Chen Jiaxiang responded. There was a sound.
Then he called a teammate and walked towards the lush bushes in front.
The wilderness is a paradise for strange beasts, and there are many dangerous beasts wandering deep in the wilderness.
Lush shrubs are spread everywhere, which is a natural resting place for strange animals.
When an alien hunter chooses to rest, he must first explore some of the surrounding bushes in case he is suddenly attacked by an alien beast while resting.
Chen Jiaxiang went to the surrounding area to check for dangers. Others were also busy, using their mental perception to carefully search some nearby places.
Wu Kui asked with a smile, "Lin Li, did you find anything unusual?"
The misunderstanding was resolved, he now has a very good attitude, and Lin Li is a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm.
"There is a spiritual energy wave in that direction. There should be a strange beast hiding there." Lin Li raised his finger to the front left.
Wu Kui was wary when he heard this. At this time, he heard Lin Li add.
"But this is only the first stage of the alien beast's strength, so there is nothing to worry about."
"Uh..." Wu Kui's nervous mood suddenly changed when he heard what Lin Li said. Relax.
After all, the alien beasts in the first stage are too weak for everyone present, and they can be easily eliminated with one hand.
"Strange, why didn't I sense the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the alien beasts in that direction?" Wu Kui probed in the direction where Lin Li discovered the spiritual energy fluctuations, but found nothing.
Because it's two hundred meters away, and you can't detect such a long distance with your strength... Lin Li muttered in his heart.
Ten minutes later, Chen Jiaxiang came back. He explored the surrounding bushes and found no trace of the strange beast.
To eliminate the danger, Chen Jiaquan gave an order and everyone began to find a cool shade to rest.
Place your backpack on the ground and remove portable self-heating food from it.
In recent times, food processing factories have developed many new portable self-heating foods, several of which are popular among exotic beast hunters.
This time I was hired by a weapon shop to go to the depths of the wilderness, and I was well prepared with supplies. Among them, several portable self-heating foods that are popular among exotic beast hunters must be on the list.
“This new self-heating hot pot tastes really good, much better than the old one.” Wu Kui said with a smile.
On the side, Lin Li picked up a piece of beef from the self-heating hot pot, blew on it, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
“The taste is indeed good, but compared with hot pot cooked with fresh ingredients, there is still a big gap.”
Now the teammates around are eating self-heating hot pot, rich and delicious The aroma wafts in the air.
A gust of wind blew by, and the aroma from the self-heating hot pot was carried away by the wind.
Some strange beasts with keen sense of smell that were hiding in the dark and taking a nap smelled this unique fragrance, then opened their eyes and swallowed.
Unfortunately, the wind that was blowing was getting stronger and stronger, and the aroma from the self-heating hot pot was quickly blown away by the constant blowing.
At this time, no matter how keen the sense of smell of the strange beast hiding in the dark is, there is no way to smell the fragrance and find the source.
“Hiccup.” Lin Li burped immediately after eating and drinking.
He stood up and planned to walk around to digest the food in his stomach.
"Where are you going?" Wu Kuigang packed up his things and saw Lin Li walking away, so he quickly asked.
"My stomach is a bit full, I plan to go there for a stroll."
"I'll go with you."
Lin Lizheng wanted to refuse, but Wu Kui smiled and said, "Chen Jiaquan will not agree to leaving the team alone."
"Then come together!" Lin Li nodded, and then the two of them said hello to Chen Jiaquan and walked towards the woods ahead.
