It was such a dark environment, and it was a very strange place to begin with. But now, a person had suddenly jumped out and appeared in a way that no one could understand.
The Pyro Company members could not be blamed for being afraid. Anyone would be afraid. First of all, the atmosphere was not right!
Ren Xiaosu looked at the Pyro Company members and said while jumping rope, "Don't leave yet. We'll talk after I'm done jumping rope."
The Pyro Company members looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, but they could not understand what Ren Xiaosu meant. One of them said, "Who are you? Why are you here? We're the Pyro Company's T3 team, Midnight. If you came from the mountains, then we should be friends."
It was not uncommon for the Pyro Company members to be killed by the monsters in the mountains. Therefore, they were afraid the laboratory in the mountains would release another monster that did not differentiate between friend and foe again.
However, Ren Xiaosu fell silent. Two seconds later, he sighed and said, "Don't say anything yet. I've already missed my count! Talk after I'm done jumping rope. Otherwise, I'm going to kill someone. "
He had already jumped to more than 200 points earlier. When the Pyro Company member interrupted him, he had forgotten how much he had jumped. He could only start counting again from 200 to avoid affecting the completion of the mission.
The Pyro Company members fell silent. They had only come here to collect the prey of the tarantulas. Although they had also received combat training, they had always been like laborers in the mountains. When they encountered the legendary monsters in the mountains, they did not even have the courage to resist.
At this moment, they were certain the young man in front of them was a freak from the mountains. Any normal person in the outside world would not behave like Ren Xiaosu.
If Cheng Yu heard their thoughts, he would probably be so excited that he would want to shake hands with them.
More than ten seconds later, Ren Xiaosu finally came to a stop. He sized up the Pyro Company members and was surprised to discover they were holding their sabers low in their hands. This was a subconscious action of having no intention to fight. It was as though they were at a loss after giving up on resisting.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment before asking, "What's that black box of yours for?"
"It's used to play a recorded sound. It's said that the research lab in the mountains specially developed it to target the tarantulas. Moreover, these tarantulas are really afraid of this sound and will run away when they hear it," a Pyro Company member explained.
"When were these tarantulas placed here?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Last year."
"This is used to target outsiders, right?" Ren Xiaosu pretended to be in cahoots with the other party and said, "To target the Anjing House?"
"I'm not too sure about that. We T3-ranked combatants know very little. You might as well go back to the mountains and ask those big shots in charge of strategy." A member of the Pyro Company said, "A few months ago, the higher-ups suddenly instructed us to come over and check on the situation once every three days. A lot of people will come knocking on our door. Not only are there tarantulas here, but there are also in other places. T 31901 and I were only recently transferred to Mount Shenchi. "
Ren Xiaosu frowned. The Pyro Company had already told them a few months ago that there would be people coming knocking on their door. In that case, it meant the Anjing House's plan was also deliberately led by the Pyro Company to beat them at their own game.
His previous guess was not wrong. The Pyro Company was also hoping the supernatural beings would walk right into their trap!
Therefore, the Anjing House and the Pyro Company were always trying to set each other up. Although it might seem like both organizations were suffering losses, the ones who suffered the most were the consortiums who fanned the flames. After all, the people the tarantulas captured this time were all people from the consortiums.
Wait a minute. Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought that if the Wang Clan's target was the entire Central Plains, or even the entire Barrier Alliance in the Southwest and Northwest, and the Anjing House had reached a cooperative relationship with the Wang Clan, could the Anjing House's goal in this operation be to lure the experts from the consortiums here and then help the Wang Clan eliminate some potential threats?
It had to be said that the minds of these schemers were too complicated. Ren Xiaosu was far inferior to others in this field. In fact, no matter who it was, they would always have several motives for doing something.
Ren Xiaosu was ashamed of his inferiority.
At this moment, the Pyro Company member in front of him suddenly asked, "Which laboratory did you come from?"
To be on the safe side, Ren Xiaosu answered, "Laboratory 1."
But Ren Xiaosu realized the other party's expression changed after he said that. A Pyro Company member raised his saber again and said, "There's only Laboratory 2 and Laboratory 7 in this mountain. Where did Laboratory 1 come from?!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "Where's Laboratory 1?"
"Laboratory 1 was destroyed in The Cataclysm a long time ago," the Pyro Company member said with a sneer.
Ren Xiaosu had asked too many questions just now, but the monsters in the mountains should know better than them.
At first, everyone was confused by Ren Xiaosu's strange behavior. But now they finally realized Ren Xiaosu was not like those freaks at all. Other than jumping rope and singing, he was no different from a normal person.
He was someone who had come from outside Mt. Shenchi!
With that, the Pyro Company members slowly surrounded Ren Xiaosu. Then they were all killed by Ren Xiaosu.
"Smart people don't live for long," Ren Xiaosu lamented as he looked at the corpses of the five people.
They were just five members of Midnight's team. He wondered where they got the courage to surround and kill him. Even if Dusk was here, it would not work. If the five members of Daybreak were here, there might still be a chance.
Ren Xiaosu turned his head and looked at the dozen or so white cocoons hanging on the stone wall. After he controlled "Old Xu" to leave, he raised his saber and cut off the spider silk pulling the cocoons, saving the people who had been captured.
After cutting open a cocoon, Ren Xiaosu realized these people were still breathing evenly. Even their expressions did not change much, so it looked like they could still be saved.
Ren Xiaosu remembered that tarantulas were poisonous. However, they would inject poison into their prey to soften them after they died before sucking the liquid out of them. They should not have reached that step yet.
He tied up the cocoons with a rope and walked back like he was dragging a skewer of tanghulu. He was still holding the black box in his hand to prevent the tarantulas from chasing after him.
When he returned, Ren Xiaosu did not drag the unconscious people over himself. Instead, he got "Old Xu" to drag them to Cheng Yu before disappearing into the white fog again.
Cheng Yu looked at White Mask's departing figure and thought to himself that he had not even had the chance to greet him before he left.
White Mask's mysterious and powerful image could not be erased from Cheng Yu's mind. Sometimes, he would lament that there was such a huge gap even between supernatural beings.
While he did not dare to move here, the other party had chased after them into the spiders' lair and rescued the others.
It wasn't until the people in the cocoons started to wake up that Ren Xiaosu slowly returned.
Cheng Yu snapped, "Where did you go?"
"I went to jump rope," Ren Xiaosu answered confidently.
