The heat was very strange. In addition to flowing in the palm of the hand, it could also benefit the whole body. This made Li Ling experiment again and again to explore the secrets in the fragments of the stone, but every time Li Ling wanted to use his mental power to
When exploring the internal structure of the stone, the heat will suddenly disappear. When Li Ling takes back his mental power, the heat will appear again.
"It's really amazing. The secret in this rogue stone is really strange." Every time Li Ling tried to test it, the rogue stone seemed to sense it, as if the rogue stone itself had spirituality and would not let anyone
Discover the secrets of the Stone itself.
"Li Ling, are you there?" Ant's voice came from outside.
Li Ling put away the rogue stone and replied loudly: "I'm here, please come in."
The figure outside the tent opened the curtain and came in. As soon as Ant entered the tent, he sat on a chair with a gloomy look on his face.
"What's wrong? Look at the anger on your face." Li Ling walked over and sat down opposite Ant. Looking at Ant's face, he must have had a conflict with someone and the matter has not been resolved.
Ant hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but said: "Li Ling, when you met General Guard Yate, did General Guard Yate personally say that the dispatcher who sent us here actually didn't want us to come back alive?
?”
"Well, this is what General Guard Asate meant. The dispatchers were afraid that too many people would go back and the number of refining stones would be too small, so they set this rule." Li Ling knew that Ant must be feeling very uncomfortable.
However, it is definitely not because of the rules set by the dispatcher.
"What is the reason that makes you so angry? Just tell me directly." Li Ling didn't want Ant to talk in roundabout ways.[
Ant sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I have a bit of a conflict with Wood's views."
"Wood? What conflict of views do you and Wood have?" Li Ling did not expect that there was a conflict between Ant and Wood, and the reason why Ant may have been afraid to say it may be because Wood usually has the best relationship with him.
He was relatively close, so he kept hesitating whether to say anything.
"Ever since you conveyed that the survival rate of reinforcements is only one percent. Wood's character has begun to change a little, and it has become very extreme. He has been arguing with me because he wants to tell everyone about this survival rate issue.
, let everyone know, so that when the time comes, they will be able to understand. However, telling everyone now will only cause turmoil, so I have always disagreed with his point of view." Ant said distressedly.
Li Ling knew that Wood couldn't stand it any longer. After all, in terms of strength, Wood was really poor. Poor strength meant that there was little chance of survival. Comparing his feelings, Wood felt that even if he was going to die, he should let everyone know how to die.
"Did he do that?" Li Ling asked hurriedly.
"No... I knocked him out when he wanted to do it." Although Ant's method was a bit extreme, it was still the most effective method.
Li Ling nodded and said: "If Wood wakes up, let him come to me. I will convince him."
"Okay." Ant agreed and went down.
At midnight, Wood's voice came from outside Li Ling's tent: "Li Ling, can I come in?"
"Come in." Li Ling allowed Wood to come in.
After Wood opened the door curtain, he walked to Li Ling and knelt down with a dejected look on his face: "Wood almost made a mistake. Please punish him."
Li Ling walked over and pulled Wood up, patted Wood on the shoulder, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down first."
Wooden nodded, turned around and came to the chair, sat down respectfully, and looked at the table in silence without saying a word.
Li Ling also sat opposite Wood, supported his chin with his hand and said, "Wood, are you homesick?"
Li Ling's question immediately shocked Wood. Li Ling could see from Wood's reaction that Wood was very homesick, but he just didn't want to say it, or in other words, he didn't dare to say it.[
"From your expression, I can see that you are homesick." Li Ling looked at Wood Road with sincere eyes.
"Hey, what do you think? I can't go back. With a one percent survival rate, I...I'm afraid I'm not that lucky." Wood said with a depressed smile.
"If you had to choose between a refining stone and a life, what would you choose?" Li Ling asked Wood solemnly in a deep voice.
Wood did not expect that Li Ling would ask this question for the second time, but this time Wood did not immediately say that he wanted to refine the stone. Instead, he thought about it carefully and began to weigh the gains and losses.
"The fact that you are hesitant means that you have a preference for life." Li Ling said seductively.
"No... you misunderstood Li Ling. In fact, I am still unwilling to give in. If I can't get the refining stone when I go back, I think everything will be a loss." Wood still had this idea at this time.
Li Ling frowned a little and said: "You still have a sense of luck. Don't mind if I say something. In your heart, you want to tell everyone the news about the survival rate. Are you deliberately trying to mess up everyone's military morale? Okay.
He died in battles and internal strife, but you will save your life because of me."
Li Ling's words were quite straightforward, and he directly stated Wood's ultimate goal. Wood was also slightly shocked, being told what he meant, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Wood...you disappoint me so much. I didn't expect you to be such an unscrupulous person." Li Ling was also a little annoyed like Ant. Originally, if Wood could give up the idea of refining the stone, Li Ling would still
He might not be angry, but Wood still couldn't resist the desire in his heart and still wanted to do whatever it took.
This time it was Wood's turn to get angry. Wood suddenly stood up from his chair and said angrily: "Yes... Of course you and Ant don't have to worry about not surviving. Of course you don't have to worry because you are both very strong people.
But I'm different, I'm not strong, but I don't want to die, so I have to do whatever it takes."
"But you can choose not to use the refining stone. If you don't use the refining stone, you will have a chance to survive." Li Ling suddenly started fighting and said angrily to Wood.
"I don't want the refining stone. Why don't I want it? I signed a life-and-death contract and paid such a high price. I don't want it even if I say I don't want it. Then when I return to the Dark Night Alliance, no one will use me. Everyone will say that.
He is a useless killer who lives an ignoble existence and does not even know how to fight for his own interests in order to save his life." Wood's words made sense, and Li Ling couldn't find a point to refute for a while.
"Nothing is as important as life. You can strive for reputation in the future, but if your life is gone, there will be nothing." Li Ling said with a frown.
"I don't have that much energy to complete these, I will only care about the present." Wood stood up and prepared to walk out. Is Wood going to spread the news?
Li Ling had no choice but to point at Wood's neck. Wood groaned and passed out. Li Ling put Wood down on the ground and sighed slightly: "We can't let you disturb the morale of the army at this time, otherwise, it will really happen."
It’s finished.”
Everyone in Longyang County was waiting to see a joke, waiting to see the reinforcements killing each other, especially Hughes and the others.
Li Ling lifted Wood up and placed him on his bed, then covered him with a quilt. He used special techniques and spiritual power to seal all the blood in Wood's body, making Wood temporarily become a living dead.
"Although Wood is under control, there are still Baijia and Feng Ji. These two are in the early stage of the county warrior level and their strength is also very poor. If they can't figure it out and spread this news, it will be really bad."
Li Ling was about to leave the tent, but there was someone outside the tent, and he looked very similar to Baijia. Li Ling was suddenly shocked.
Oops, it seems that Wood has colluded with Baijia. As soon as something happens to Wood, Baijia will leak the news. Li Ling quickly opened the tent, but it was obviously too late. Baijia was already telling everyone about things that could not be done.
When the secret was announced, everyone suddenly became more surprised and frightened, and the originally harmonious life was immediately disrupted.
Seeing how quickly the news leaked, Li Ling couldn't stop it. Although Li Ling could predict that everyone would not be able to bear the secret, he didn't expect it to collapse so quickly. Just like Yat said, these people have been led by desire.
Gone.
Suddenly, a group of people sitting around the bonfire stood up angrily and wanted to argue with Longyang County, but reason told them that going to Longyang County was seeking death. Suddenly, everyone's hearts began to darken.
They no longer trust each other, and for the sake of the one percent survival rate, everyone begins to doubt each other.
"This is terrible." Li Ling secretly thought that he was not rational at the time and told the six most trusted people around him about the news, but he did not expect such a result.
"Commander Li Ling, is what Baijia said true? Only one percent of us can survive and return to our homes." A thick man threw away the dried meat in his hand and suddenly rushed over.
asked Li Ling.
Li Ling was silent for a long time, knowing that the secret could no longer be hidden, so he could only reply: "Yes, that's what General Guard Yat said."
"Why, why? We have completed the task so well, why are we not allowed to go back and receive the award? It's so abominable." Someone immediately shouted angrily, but what's the use?
It was difficult for everyone to calm down for a while, not because everyone was irrational, but because the news was too heartless.
At this moment, Ant and Meng He also arrived beside Li Ling. From everyone's angry eyes, it was not difficult to see that the news had been leaked.
"Li Ling, what should we do now?" Ant said with a frown.
