Chapter 491: Chapter 482: Not Just Exploring Ruins

When the noise came from outside, without waiting for Xu Zhao to remind her, Jiang Lingxi sat up, grabbed her dagger and crossbow, and picked up her backpack from the ground as she stood.

Changning was awakened by the sound of her getting up, and after a moment of confusion, quickly equipped herself as well.

Jiang Lingxi glanced at her, "Let’s go." She said, taking the lead towards the door.

Changning hurried to follow.

There was an inexplicable feeling reminiscent of facing an instructor during training.

"Lingxi..." Xu Zhao was about to call from outside the tent when he saw the tent door open, and they were already prepared. "Was just about to call you."

"Is everyone ready?"

"Yes."

"Then let’s move out."

The lights in the camp went out immediately.

Naturally, this disturbance was also noticed by the eyes next door; someone reported to Yin Chong, "Sir, they are preparing to depart."

"Then we should prepare to depart as well. Pass the word along, ten minutes, everyone gathers at the camp entrance. Those who are late should know my methods."

The messenger couldn’t help but shiver, answered "yes" and quickly withdrew.

Yin Chong turned to look at Chong Shi, who remained calmly seated.

Being stared at made Chong Shi uncomfortable, so he stood up, touched his nose, and said helplessly, "Yin Chong, not to criticize, but you really trust the judgment of that little girl on the other side? I still feel it’s a bit unreliable, your decision is really quite hasty."

"Chong Shi," Yin Chong’s eyes carried a hint of warning, "I advise you to temper your arrogance this time, Jiang Lingxi is not as simple as you think."

"I didn’t expect such a drastic change from your usually over-cautious nature. Well, since you are the leader this time, you call the shots. Aren’t we leaving? Let’s go!"

Yin Chong frowned as he watched Chong Shi walking out first; if it weren’t for the people chosen by the Sect Leader personally, he would never want someone with the "Chong" prefix.

They’re just not on the same path!

The two groups didn’t even meet at Ming Sha Eye, joining up halfway instead.

Yin Chong couldn’t help but twitch when he saw the crossbow Jiang Lingxi carried.

"Didn’t expect Miss Jiang to have brought a crossbow as well."

He had seen Jiang Lingxi on horseback shooting arrows during filming before.

Her accuracy and strength were exceptionally good.

Even he couldn’t guarantee he would win if it were a competition.

The firing speed of a crossbow is even faster than that of a bow and arrow.

In the hands of someone who knows how to use it, its power is comparable to some firearms.

"Captain Xu also has quite the skills!"

The crossbow was certainly not a prop from the filming set; a mere glance showed it was well-crafted.

In such a short time, and in such a remote place, with hardly any people under Jiang Lingxi, only Xu Zhao could have gotten such a thing.

Xu Zhao met Yin Chong’s gaze, "Mr. Yin, you flatter me. The equipment your men have isn’t bad either."

Not just not bad, his profession let him handle a variety of weapons the most. Anyway, he could confirm one thing, the organization behind Yin Chong definitely had substantial financial resources.

At the back of the team.

Lian Lian was being supported on one shoulder by Luan Hua, each step feeling like walking on a knife’s edge.

What she had seen and heard these days completely overturned her worldview, giving her an unprecedented shock.

Her previous intent to take Yun Yi’s life was driven by panic and fear, a moment of passion, leaving her secretly afraid for days afterward.

But this time, she saw three people sent to scout ahead, two of whom vanished without a trace, likely buried in the quicksand.

One did return, but it was just a corpse that was quickly gone without a care from anyone.

Their indifference towards life filled her with dread.

She originally thought this operation had nothing to do with her, even secretly sighing in relief.

Unexpectedly, she was dragged along just before departure.

Even as thinking about anything gave her a severe headache, she instinctively knew nothing good awaited ahead!

She wanted to escape; she had to escape!

If she didn’t, she would die! She would truly die!

A heavy hand on her shoulder, "Hurry up, you’ll fall behind. Didn’t eat dinner?"

Lian Lian shook her head instinctively, and halfway through, her peripheral vision caught a familiar figure.

She dared to look again, uncertainly.

"Yun Yi, Yun Yi save me, I’m Lian Lian! I’m willing to confess my crimes, I’ll turn myself in, I’ll go to prison, just help me leave first, okay?"

Yun Yi and his mom might at most send her to jail, and even then, intentional harm would just mean a few years at most.

But these people didn’t care about her life at all!

Her shout made both teams pause momentarily in their tracks.

It was then Yun Yi saw Lian Lian and Li Yan trailing at the end of the adjacent team.

With the lights and the desert moonlight, the surroundings were quite bright, allowing their appearances to be seen clearly.

But he almost didn’t recognize them.

How long had it been? The two were clad in tattered black coats, disheveled as if they hadn’t washed their faces in ages.

If Lian Lian hadn’t yelled out catching him off guard, he wouldn’t have recognized them at all.

However, saving them, he admitted he didn’t have the capabilities.

He jogged to the front of the team under Lian Lian’s increasingly desperate gaze.

"Mr. Yin."

Yin Chong turned his head slightly to look over.

"Lian Lian and Li Yan, I’d like to know why you’re bringing them along?"

It’s not like the living map role hasn’t already been assigned to them.

He might count as combat power, but a pregnant Lian Lian and Li Yan, who only injured him back then because Lian Lian distracted him, otherwise, would have never succeeded - what good is bringing them now?

"Hahaha," Chong Shi laughed, stepping forward, and sizing Yun Yi up and down, "Why are there such naive kids in the other team, if they’re being brought along, then they’re definitely useful, no need to ask."

Then he clicked his tongue softly towards Yin Chong, though he didn’t say anything, the look in his eyes was clear.

Such a mixed-ability group that even had people showing such naive compassion, is it really worth cooperating with?

Yun Yi’s face changed a bit, hesitated for a moment, then retreated.

He still didn’t know what exactly these people intended to do, but he could guess that once they successfully reached the destination, it wouldn’t just be about exploring ruins.

Xixi sister only had two requests for him: protect himself and don’t hold others back.

Now was not the time to complicate matters.

Besides, he didn’t possess the noble sentiment to repay evil with kindness.

However, Lian Lian couldn’t shout anymore.

Luan Hua hadn’t expected her to cry for help before, now directly took out a cloth strip and tied it around her mouth.

"Behave, everyone’s patience is short."

A cannon fodder whose use was uncertain, if she really angered the Sir, she couldn’t promise the person here would survive today.

Lian Lian was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, biting on the cloth, quieting down.

After walking for about ten more minutes, everyone stopped in unison, looking up to see a steep slope almost at a 90-degree angle from the ground ahead.

"Climb up, and you’ll reach Ming Sha Eye."
