Jiang Liushi drove his minibus, splashing snow mist in the snow. After a while, they were close to the dense stone forest area.
The ground began to undulate. Although the uneven terrain had been eased by the snow, it was still unfriendly to the minibus' tires.
Fortunately, Jiang Liushi's bulletproof tires had superior shock absorption performance. Even if the minibus was bumping up and down, the minibus was still very stable.
Ran Xiyu had released her spiritual detection.
A circle of spiritual fluctuations like water ripples spread to the stone forest.
"Brother Jiang, I sensed it!" Ran Xiyu reminded.
Jiang Liushi held his breath and carefully observed the red spots detected by Ran Xiyu.
"They are in the depths of the stone forest, about one kilometer away from us … Five paranormals, twelve ordinary people …" Ran Xiyu said slowly.
Jiang Liushi was surprised. Undoubtedly, that group of people was Ram Squad.
In fact, Jiang Liushi's initial judgment was similar to Shi Can's. He thought that since Ram Squad had discovered their main force, they would certainly escape.
According to the information provided by the Xiayuan military government, Ram Squad was very cautious, so they would never stay in the same place.
However, Jiang Liushi wanted to investigate out of caution, but he didn't expect that Ram Squad had not left.
"Interesting." Jiang Liushi revealed a faint smile.
In the vision of his spiritual detection, he found that Ram Squad was cautiously circling in the stone forest.
It was obvious that Ram Squad deliberately did not run.
So, did they want to lure them in?
Where did Ram Squad's confidence come from?
"Why did you stop?"
After a while, those heavy trucks stopped near Jiang Liushi's minibus, splashing a burst of snowflakes.
Shi Can jumped out of the minibus and looked at Jiang Liushi coldly.
Since they wanted to investigate, naturally, someone had to enter the stone forest. He didn't expect that Jiang Liushi would just stay in the minibus.
This made Shi Can a little unhappy.
"No need to investigate, they are inside. Our car can't go in, so we wanted to wait for your people to come. "Jiang Liushi said lightly.
The environment of the stone forest was very narrow. Unless it was a motorcycle, or a four-wheeled vehicle, such as a minibus or an off-road vehicle, could not enter.
Moreover, once they got off the minibus, Jiang Liushi would lose his biggest support. Entering the stone forest would be risky.
Even if he felt that the Shi Ying Squad was strong enough to kill the Ram Squad, he didn't want his teammates to be in danger.
He had calculated that he would need at least one more team of metahumans to be able to capture Ram's men. After all, the stone forest was crisscrossed with many small paths.
After entering the stone forest, the biggest problem of the Shi Ying Squad was not their strength, but the lack of manpower.
"How do you know Ram's men are inside? Did you open your Heavenly Eye? "Xing Bupo chuckled. He did not hide the sarcasm in his voice.
Even if there were Mental Ability Users, the average Mental Ability User would not be able to scan the entire stone forest. They would only be able to scan a small portion of it.
Moreover, no one knew who was in Jiang Liushi's team.
Sun Kun and Zhang Hai were displeased to hear that.
Xing Bupo had been nagging since the beginning. Was he not done yet?
"What do you mean? Brother Jiang said that they are inside, so they are inside. If you don't believe me, you can bring your team in and try. "Zhang Hai glared at Xing Bupo with a murderous look in his eyes.
Xing Bupo and the other members of the Grey Nightmare Squad all rushed over. They crossed their arms in front of their chests and confronted Zhang Hai and the others coldly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The other members of Doom Walker's team didn't speak, but they were watching with interest.
Jiang Liushi frowned when he saw the surrounding people's expressions. The members of Doom Walker's team were not united.
At that moment, Qi Liang spat out the grass stem in his mouth and stood in front of Xing Bupo.
"You bastard! I've long been annoyed by you. Don't look down on us! How dare you suspect our Brother Jiang? You're not even as good as our Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang was on Shenhai Island, but Lian Jun- "
Before Qi Liang could finish his words, his mouth was covered by someone.
"Little brat, come over here!"
Wang Chuanfu's face turned pale. Another person ran over and the two of them dragged Qi Liang back.
Wang Chuanfu smiled apologetically to Jiang Liushi.
After all, they knew that the Shi Ying Squad had killed the leader of the Military Region of Shenhai Safety Zone, but it was a taboo that they couldn't announce it to the public.
If the news spread to Xiayuan Security Island, it would be a disaster for Jiang Liushi, as the military governments had connections with each other. Would Jiang Liushi spare them?
'What the hell are they doing?' Xing Bupo murmured in his heart.
The Aeolus Squad's attitude towards Jiang Liushi was really strange. After all, they were a B + team. Why did they need to flatter a C-level team?
"Oh, if you're really that strong, you should prove yourself and go in. If you really catch Ram Squad, I will apologize in person, "Xing Bupo said lazily.
He just wanted to squeeze the Shi Ying Squad out of the way.
How could Jiang Liushi pay attention to him? Xing Bupo's apology was meaningless to him, and he would not prove himself to him.
He glanced at Xing Bupo, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Well, I think the president trusts you so much because he approves of your strength. If you're willing, you can choose two teams to go with you, "Shi Can, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said.
He didn't mean anything else. Shi Ying Squad was too arrogant, and they didn't listen to his orders.
Shi Can wanted to make them suffer a little setback.
Jiang Liushi looked at Shi Can deeply, and then he smiled faintly. He had almost guessed some of Shi Can's thoughts.
"Who wants to go with us?" Jiang Liushi glanced at Doom Walker's team.
Jiang Liushi didn't care about other problems. The first thing he wanted to do was to ensure the safety of his team members.
No one spoke.
All the teams were lazy. Some were whispering to each other, and some were playing with the guns in their hands. No one dared to speak.
In any case, Xing Bupo's team was old, and the new team in front of them was a bit arrogant.
They naturally chose to stand with Xing Bupo.
"Captain Jiang, our Aeolus Squad will support you to the end. We will go with you, "Wang Chuanfu stepped forward and stood side by side with Jiang Liushi.
"We'll also go with you," Ling Feng said.
Ling Feng's face was burning. He should have been the first to support Jiang Liushi. After all, Shi Ying Squad was introduced to Hou Dingkun.
However, when he thought about the problem of choosing a team, he hesitated a little. Unexpectedly, Wang Chuanfu took the lead.
"Thank you. But Aeolus Squad can go with us, "Jiang Liushi nodded to Ling Feng.
Jiang Liushi didn't need a lot of people. He just needed an elite team to guard some channels and do some things.
As for other things, Shi Ying Squad could solve them easily.
Jiang Liushi was very decisive. He left his minibus and Ying outside, and Li Yuxin also stayed in the minibus to take care of Jiang Zhuying.
Once something happened, Ying could quickly drive the minibus to respond.
Jiang Liushi took Ling, Zhang Hai, Sun Kun, Ran Xiyu, and the Aeolus Squad toward the stone forest without any hesitation.
"Oh, that group of foreigners doesn't know how powerful Ram Squad is. They will die if they go in. In the past, five B and C teams had chased after Ram Squad, but they were all killed by their traps. That group of foreigners will definitely suffer a lot in such an environment. Maybe they will all be wiped out, "Xing Bupo said gloatingly as he watched Jiang Liushi and the others disappear in the stone forest.
Other teams also nodded after hearing Xing Bupo's words.
If Ram Squad was really inside, it was indeed a bit inappropriate for those foreigners to go in recklessly.
"We're all here to complete the Wilderness Order mission. Don't talk too much. If anything goes wrong, we'll go in to help, "Shi Can suddenly said.
He just wanted to suppress Shi Ying Squad's arrogance, but he didn't want to see anything bad happen to them.
Moreover, he was not optimistic about Shi Ying Squad's chances. He just wanted to wait for Shi Ying Squad to make a move, and then it would be his turn to help.
"Captain Shi, you're such a nice guy," Xing Bupo said with a smile. But in his heart, he cursed Shi Can. Since Shi Can didn't like Jiang Liushi, why did he have to pretend to be a good guy?
"Don't you think Brother Jiang will win? My opinion is different from yours. Brother Jiang's Shi Ying Squad's strength is unfathomable. Otherwise, why would the Aeolus Squad worship Brother Jiang so much? Let's wait and see. Maybe Ram Squad will be killed soon, "Little Seven couldn't help but speak for Jiang Liushi.
He had a deep impression of Jiang Liushi's team's strength, so he didn't like to listen to Xing Bupo's nonsense. Xing Bupo's words were tantamount to excluding Ling Feng.
"Oh, let's wait and see." Xing Bupo snorted and slowly washed his face with a handful of snow.
Ram Squad was best at ambushes and sneak attacks. The stone forest's environment was simply tailor-made for them.
Xing Bupo was very happy that those foreigners were persuaded by his words.
The path in the stone forest was already covered in thick snowflakes up to their thighs.
But even with such heavy snow, the weeds, vines, and some plants were still growing very vigorously.
In the ice and snow, the light in the stone forest was actually obscured by the bare stone pillars and many plants.
It was the second time that Ran Xiyu had followed Jiang Liushi outside the car. Although it was a cold world outside, Ran Xiyu felt warm in her heart.
She couldn't help but think of that stormy night when Yang Feng had attacked Wu Shui County.
At that time, Jiang Liushi had carried her all the way to the mountain, and that warm feeling still lingered in her heart.
At that moment, she felt warm again.
"Why am I imagining things?" Ran Xiyu was aware of her strange mood, and her face was slightly red.
"Xiyu, can you walk? Or I can carry you, "Jiang Liushi's voice sounded in her ears.
Ran Xiyu's body stiffened, and she quickly glanced at Jiang Liushi.
Jiang Liushi was staring at her, and her slender ankles had been submerged by the snow under her feet.
Ran Xiyu's blushing face became completely crimson.
"No need," she shook her head gently and said.
"Yes. This stone forest is very big, and our team is relying on you to investigate. You have to save your strength, "Jiang Liushi said and carried the girl on his back." Moreover, your physique is not good. Don't freeze in this snowy weather. "
Ran Xiyu moved her lips, but she didn't say anything. She gently put her hand on Jiang Liushi's shoulder.
With Jiang Liushi's current physical strength, it was very easy to carry a person, not to mention Ran Xiyu.
'Brother Jiang, they began to move. It should be Gong who smelled us, 'Ran Xiyu's voice sounded in Jiang Liushi's mind.
After all, she had followed the team all the way, so she quickly adjusted her mood and detected every move of Gong's team.
Through Ran Xiyu's shared spiritual vision, Jiang Liushi also quickly saw Gong's movements.
"Since they are going around in circles, we should also go around in circles with them. Anyway, they won't go out, "Jiang Liushi said." Let's go east. "
"Yes," everyone answered in unison.
Except for Zhang Hai and Ling, all the members of the Aeolus Squad were a little excited.
It was the first time for them to act together with Jiang Liushi. Although it was Wang Chuanfu's second time, he also wanted to witness a miracle happen again.
Under Jiang Liushi's leadership, the team moved quickly in the stone forest. For a moment, they went east, and for a moment, they went west, but they were completely on the same route.
The most strange thing was that they didn't meet Gong's team at all.
After a while, Jiang Liushi, who was walking in the front, suddenly threw something on the ground.
It was a seed.
Along the way, he threw seven seeds in a certain place.
As soon as these seeds drilled into the ice and snow, they began to take root and germinate.
Moreover, where they were entrenched, other plants were withered, and even the earth's soil had lost a lot of color, as if nutrients had been absorbed.
However, under the cover of ice and snow, the signs of withering were covered to the greatest extent.
Instead, they were replaced by a bunch of thorns.
These thorns entrenched on the ground looked very ordinary, but there were some needles on their bodies.
However, in the eyes of the Aeolus Squad's elite survivors, those needles were nothing.
"Don't get close to those thorns. They're deadly," warned Jiang Liushi after noticing the confusion on the members' faces.
Of course, these seeds were mutant thorns cultivated by the Heterogeneous Plant Breeding Research Institute.
Jiang Liushi had encountered this kind of mutant thorns before, so he naturally knew how powerful they were.
These things were originally grown from mutant beasts' stomachs, so they were born with a large amount of energy and resources for the surrounding environment.
Once they grew, some of the surrounding plant nutrients, as well as many metals in the earth, would be absorbed. That was why the surrounding environment had withered.
"Brother Jiang, why did you sprinkle these things here?" Qi Liang was very puzzled.
In his understanding, entering the stone forest was to quickly find Gong's team, and then directly kill them.
