As early as one kilometer away from Uncle Xiang's sphere of influence, Wen Xiao had made a clear cross symbol on three consecutive trees. He believed that with Lin Ge's intelligence, he would be able to understand what this symbol represented.
Of course, Wen Xiao didn't overestimate Lin Ge's intelligence. Lin Ge walked deeper in, and when he saw these three consecutive clear cross symbols, he very seriously stopped in his tracks. He carefully stroked the bark that the sharp knife had cut open. The cut was so fresh. Lin Ge realized that this was very likely a warning from Wen Xiao.
It seemed like this was a dangerous forbidden area, or it could be said that this was a place that Wen Xiao himself wanted to come to. Lin Ge took a deep breath. He chose the tallest tree, and his body lightly leapt up. Taking advantage of the momentum, he stabbed his knife into the tree trunk. Then, he suddenly exerted force, and his entire body leapt high into the air, directly climbing up the branch of the tree.
Lin Ge's body was as light as a butterfly, and he climbed up to the highest point of the giant tree in just a few steps. Apart from the rustling of the leaves, there were no other sounds in the forest. Lin Ge quietly hid on top of the giant tree, carefully observing everything that he could see.
As the saying goes, the higher one stands, the further one can see. Everything within a kilometer radius could enter Lin Ge's range of observation. The entire forest seemed exceptionally quiet. Only a light breeze would blow, and the leaves at the top of the forest would sway slightly. There was no sign of life anywhere else.
The quieter it was, the more Lin Ge felt that there was a problem. Although he didn't have much trust in Wen Xiao, he still felt that Wen Xiao wouldn't make these three symbols for no reason. If Lin Ge couldn't find a problem, then it could only mean that these symbols weren't made by Wen Xiao. That meant … there were other people in this place?
If that was the case, Lin Ge would instead feel that it was even more dangerous. But thinking about it carefully, apart from them, who else would be so crazy as to wander around this terrifying primitive forest in the middle of the night? Who knew what they could run into in this place.
If it was in the past, they would definitely encounter many ferocious beasts in a single night. But now that the mercenary group had occupied the territories of too many wild beasts, and these wild beasts were no match for the well-equipped mercenaries. Over time, the number of wild beasts decreased. Some of them became delicacies on the mercenaries' plate, and some of them escaped from the nature that they relied on for survival. The biological chain of this primeval forest had also been severely damaged due to the appearance of humans.
Fortunately, these mercenaries were scarier than the beasts at the top of the food chain. There was no animal they didn't dare to eat, so the balance of the food chain didn't seem to be broken. In any case, because of the existence of these humans, animals could not reproduce in large numbers.
Lin Ge patiently observed for a whole hour on the tree trunk. Finally, his efforts paid off. He saw a few green shadows trembling about a kilometer away. When those shadows reached a certain place, a few more shadows trembled and hurriedly left, disappearing from Lin Ge's sight.
At this time, Lin Ge suddenly understood. Those few green shadows quickly calmed down and hid in the forest. There were no more movements. This was the hidden sniper on duty again!
Hu — —! Lin Ge sucked in a breath of cold air. Who in the world was this? They actually had such a large force that they could have a sniper hide in one place for the whole night. What a big deal! It seemed that he had already reached the edge of a very powerful mercenary group's sphere of influence.
No wonder Wen Xiao gave him three consecutive crosses as a hint. If it wasn't for these three crosses, Lin Ge would definitely have snuck in and entered the sniper's shooting range. At that time, his little life would probably be lost.
But Lin Ge couldn't understand one thing. Why would Wen Xiao come to such a place with such a clear goal?
Along the way, Lin Ge definitely didn't hear any gunshots. This meant that even if Wen Xiao intruded into this sphere of influence, he wasn't shot to death. Yes, he was one-eyed. He was also a famous person in this place. He definitely had his own way.
Presumably, Wen Xiao had already come into contact with the mercenary group leader in this sphere of influence. Lin Ge rubbed his temples. Compared to Wen Xiao, it seemed that he had a harder time in this place. No matter how bad Wen Xiao was, his one-eyed reputation was sufficiently well-known. Even if someone had their eyes on him, they wouldn't dare to make a move to kill him.
But Lin Ge was different. In this place where even birds didn't shit, who would recognize him, Lin Ge? If he was targeted, he might just be sent a bullet. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to defend against a stab in the dark. Just how many snipers were there in this land? Lin Ge didn't even dare to think about it. His head was still covered in cold sweat. He really didn't know how he had walked all the way to this place.
Who knew if he had already passed through the gates of hell a few times.
Lin Ge tried his best to calm himself down in the tree. He needed to think of a way to avoid these people. Other than discovering them in time, if they wanted to invade, he would need to put in more effort. As long as he was careful enough, he would be able to detect the presence of danger in time and use the geographical situation to avoid them. Sneaking in was not impossible.
Soon, Lin Ge strengthened his confidence. He quickly slid down the giant tree and carved a small sign of a restricted area. He believed that Xu Yun would definitely follow the clues he left behind and come here. He also wanted to let Xu Yun know clearly how dangerous this place was.
… …
Compared to Lin Ge who was treading on thin ice, Wen Xiao seemed to be more relaxed. But in fact, the risk he faced was even greater. Uncle Xiang was a smiling tiger. Everyone knew this. He seemed to be easy to get along with on normal days, but once he got angry, he would definitely be ruthless. He was scarier than anyone else.
Wen Xiao was very clear about his current status and situation. He didn't have the power to be on the same level as Uncle Xiang. He could only lower himself as much as possible and not provoke Uncle Xiang's ruthlessness. This would allow him to live a little longer.
Uncle Xiang really didn't expect that the first news he heard when he opened his eyes in the morning would be such good news. After all, he was racking his brains to think of a way to arrange for people to go to Hua Xia and get Wen Xiao out. Now, Wen Xiao had appeared in his territory!
Was this happiness that came too suddenly, or was it a case of a weasel paying a visit to a chicken? Uncle Xiang's inner world was actually very conflicted. He had never made any wrong judgments in his life, but this time, he was still not sure how he should face this matter.
But since Wen Xiao was here, of course, he had to meet him personally. The authenticity of the secret he saw in Vulture's mailbox could only be verified by Wen Xiao! After all, Uncle Xiang still couldn't confirm whether the secret in Vulture's mailbox was real or fake.
He wanted to find Wen Xiao so that he could make a judgment on this matter.
He had searched high and low for it, only to find it by chance. Naturally, Uncle Xiang was very happy that Wen Xiao came to him.
Other than Uncle Xiang, there was another person who was also very happy, and that was Black Dog Barton. Black Dog Barton had only admired a few people in his life, and Wen Xiao was one of them. Wen Xiao was definitely the person he admired the most. If Wen Xiao had not left the mercenary circle to go to Hua Xia, Barton would never have chosen to join Uncle Xiang's organization.
Uncle Xiang also knew that Barton admired Wen Xiao. Since Wen Xiao was here, how could he not let Barton come out to meet him?
Soon, Wen Xiao was led to where Uncle Xiang was by his subordinates. Uncle Xiang had also called his three tigers and Black Dog Barton over. As for Clark, forget about it. After all, Wen Xiao had done many things to Night Leopard's people in the past, and Clark did not have a good impression of One-eyed.
This was because Clark had always found Barton to be an eyesore. If it weren't for Uncle Xiang's status, the two of them would've already fought. It couldn't be helped. It was normal for people from different mercenary groups to have some conflicts.
However, Uncle Xiang was confident that the two of them would become a force sooner or later. Originally, his three tigers didn't like each other, but now they had become a force. Since Uncle Xiang had the courage to use people, he also had his way of tormenting people.
