Cheng Yu's voice calling out to White Mask reverberated through the white fog. Everyone held their breaths. They also wanted to know if White Mask could travel with them. If there was a supernatural being like him in the team, it would definitely be safer.
No one doubted White Mask's strength. After all, he had already gone to the spiders' lair to rescue more than a dozen of his teammates while everyone was busy trying to protect themselves.
But how could Ren Xiaosu possibly let Old Xu stay in the team to protect this group of people? Old Xu's greatest role right now was to act as a scout. An unkillable scout traveling alone in the wilderness could help Ren Xiaosu avoid a lot of danger.
As time passed, Cheng Yu felt a little disappointed when White Mask still did not show up. "Although I don't know who he's protecting, I hope we can take care of each other in the future since we're on the same team."
An assistant next to Cheng Yu muttered softly, "When White Mask appeared just now, that young man who jumps rope left with him. Could he be here to protect him?"
"That's impossible." Cheng Yu shook his head. "Why would someone like him be protected by an expert like White Mask? But we can't underestimate that young man either. I feel that he's very close to Luo Lan. When Luo Lan was in danger just now, his first reaction was to stand behind him. "
"Then should we still persuade White Mask to join the team?" the assistant asked.
"Forget it." Cheng Yu sighed and said, "How can we force someone like him?"
But even though Cheng Yu had given up, it did not mean that everyone else would. A middle-aged man looked at everyone in the team and said, "I know this White Mask must be related to someone here. How about this? I'll pay you five million yuan to let him join the team. He doesn't have to deliberately protect anyone and just needs to stay in the team."
This was a very strange request. Ren Xiaosu thought about it. The other party seemed to be throwing a tantrum by spending five million yuan to get White Mask to show up. But other than that, there were no other conditions.
Wasn't this money being given for free? Could this middle-aged man have some other motive?
Next to him, Wang Yun said with a smile, "Bro, you're being too stingy. Would a real expert care about five million yuan? If the other party wants to show up for these five million, I, Wang Yun, am willing to walk upside down for a day. "
Suddenly, the palace in Ren Xiaosu's mind spoke, and his expression became extremely strange.
"Mission: Fulfill a teammate's wish."
Ren Xiaosu thought about it. The palace did not mention which person's wish would be fulfilled. Was it the middle-aged man's wish to have Old Xu join the team, or was it Wang Yun's wish to stand upside down?
However, this quest seemed easy to complete.
In the white fog, everyone heard the footsteps. They turned to look at the source of the sound and saw a figure slowly becoming clearer. It seemed to be approaching.
Wang Yun: "???"
Old Xu walked up to the middle-aged man and stretched out his hand. The middle-aged man did not break his promise and took out a small box. "There's an anonymous Wang Clan bank card inside. There's exactly five million yuan in it."
"Old Xu" nodded and then looked at Wang Yun calmly.
Wang Yun did not feel good at that moment. Why did he feel like the other party had appeared out of nowhere just to make him do a handstand?!
In fact, if the palace had announced the completion of the quest after the middle-aged man took out the money, Ren Xiaosu would not have insisted on making Wang Yun do a handstand. But didn't that mean the quest was not completed yet?
Under everyone's gaze, Wang Yun clenched his teeth and sneered, "Fine, you're targeting me, aren't you?!"
After saying that, he really did a handstand with both hands on the ground. Wang Yun's balance was quite good, and even walking upside down looked very smooth …
Cheng Yu looked at "Old Xu" in bewilderment, then looked at Ren Xiaosu, who was not far away. He felt that White Mask's style was inexplicably familiar.
At some point, Cheng Yu felt a little afraid. He was afraid that White Mask would suddenly start singing nursery rhymes with Ren Xiaosu.
However, the addition of "Old Xu" to the team made everyone feel a little more at ease. It was as though they had received a great boost.
The main reason was that "Old Xu" had become very famous recently. There were still too few supernatural beings who could take on a T5 combatant head-on and win.
Ren Xiaosu quietly sized up Wang Yun. He realized Wang Yun's expression was extremely ferocious, like he was holding a grudge.
But Ren Xiaosu did not care. It was "Old Xu" who made him do a handstand, so it had nothing to do with Ren Xiaosu.
At this moment, the relationship between the various teammates in the team was gradually made clear. Luo Lan and Ren Xiaosu were in the same group, while Wang Yun had four other teammates hidden in the team, and one of them might even be a supernatural being.
The remaining people were divided into six groups. The largest group had nine people, while the smallest group had three people.
Usually, if they did not encounter any danger, these people would act as though they did not know each other. But just now, they had subconsciously teamed up to fight. This was everyone's instinctive reaction in the face of danger.
The injured people in the cocoons had already been rescued. Although they could not move, someone had already taken the initiative to take care of them.
In a place like this, who would be so kind as to take care of people who were not related to them? Only their teammates would step in to help them.
While everyone was taking care of the injured, Wang Yun quietly entered the white fog while doing a handstand. In any case, it was still very foggy, so even if someone was missing from the team, they would not be discovered.
After leaving the group, Wang Yun did a forward somersault and landed firmly on the ground. He said coldly, "For making me, Wang Yun, suffer such great humiliation, I'll definitely get my revenge!"
On the way back, he made two marks on the route he had taken with the compressed biscuit crumbs. One was a horizontal bar, and the other was a concentric circle.
The first mark meant that the crisis ahead had been temporarily resolved, while the second mark meant that he needed supplies from the rear.
As a matter of fact, in order to make the marks along the way, he had almost used up all the rations he had brought. Wang Yun had calculated that his food supplies would only last him another day at most.
But this was the advantage of having a support team behind him. He did not need to worry about supplies like the others.
In the end, on the second night, Wang Yun sat by the campfire and watched the others eat, while he had nothing left …
Ren Xiaosu even asked him why he was not eating, but Wang Yun smiled and said that he was not hungry. He could not possibly explain that he had used the rations to make the marks, right?
For the whole day, Ren Xiaosu and the rest had been resting in the same place, waiting for their teammates who had been paralyzed by the spider's venom to recover.
During this time, Wang Yun had walked into the white fog alone more than once, and then took out a small bamboo whistle to blow the sound of insects flapping their wings. But … he had waited for his own backup …
Wang Yun kept feeling that something was wrong, but he did not know what the problem was.
Could it be that his brothers felt that it was too dangerous, so they retreated?
No, after all these years of traveling, these brothers were very reliable. Otherwise, he would not have entrusted his life to them.
Something must have delayed them. Maybe they would arrive tomorrow!
