"If it's really as I guessed, it won't be easy." Shen Ming didn't know whether to be happy or depressed after receiving the news.
It is certain that the Dark King is now targeting him. This is not good news, but the other party seems to be very afraid of the system, which is something to be happy about. It proves that this supreme king, who has countless clones, is afraid.
"Forget it, let's forget about it for now! You can't jump directly to the main world and hit me. Worrying is in vain!" Shen Ming shook his head, and he no longer thinks about these things recently.
The King of Darkness has left many traces in this world, but it seems that his true body or other clones cannot come unless he is in a specific place. Just like the dark streets of the Magic City, and this strange space. The other party is very interested in Shen Ming
The threat is actually not great, or even almost equal to zero.
"Your Excellency, are you a Chinese?" Team Song looked at Shen Ming who seemed to be stunned. After all, he did not choose to take action first. He was also an old mercenary. Looking at Shen Ming's sloppy appearance, it was obviously caused by his lack of experience in surviving in the rain.
In addition, the other party is a person, so it is very likely that he entered by mistake as the other party said.
Of course, the reason why he didn't take action again was because of the neat skills Shen Ming showed just now. It was completely unnecessary to provoke an enemy who didn't look simple for no reason.
Shen Ming took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the Dark King. After all, his own strength could not keep up with the opponent's height, and he would only be upset if he thought about it too much.
He glanced at the few people who were very wary of him, and slowly put away the fish knife in his hand. If he could go out, he still counted on this team of mercenaries, so there would be no need for conflict.
"I am indeed a Chinese who came here to travel. I got separated from my friends. My only idea now is to leave here and find a place with signal. As long as you can take me away, the reward can be negotiated." Shen Ming nodded at the other party,
The strength of the group in front of him was not enough to pose a threat to him.
"Haha... Your Excellency, you are joking. Since we are all compatriots, it is a kind of fate to meet you. It will not be a problem to take you out, brother. What kind of reward do you need? But... before that, we have to deal with some things.
, I hope you will forgive me, brother!" Captain Song said with a smile, looking very heroic, not as ferocious as he had just casually killed his first mate who had been with him for three years.
Shen Ming sneered in his heart. Although he did not tell the truth completely, he did not have any bad intentions towards them. As for what Captain Song was thinking, how much did he believe it? Shen Ming did not need to guess, nor did he want to guess.
Shen Ming will not be stingy with his wallet and will spend the money that should be spent without playing tricks on him and taking him out of the rain forest safely. But if he has any wrong ideas in his heart, Shen Ming will naturally teach them how to behave.
"Then thank you all brothers and sisters. You will still get the rewards you deserve. We can't let you work in vain, can we?" Shen Ming said with a smile on his face and bowed his hands to everyone.
…
The national team, which successfully solved the strange bird crisis, returned to Han Secret City. The atmosphere in the spacious hall was very tense at the moment.
General Mott, the high-ranking official from Milu, looked very ugly because a young man in his early 20s was pointing at his nose and yelling at him, but he couldn't stop talking. How could he not feel aggrieved?
"You told me that you can't find it? Then send someone to look for it! We helped you solve such a big trouble, and you can't find anyone?" Mo Fan really had the urge to blow up the whole place at this moment.
In the days when Shen Ming was missing, some of them not only solved the crisis of the Peruvian mineral veins, but also solved the crisis of strange birds. The only requirement was that the other party find the missing Shen Ming, but the other party claimed that the Nazca giant painting was a close relative.
They only look for reasons on the outside and don't dare to go deeper.
How could such a nonsense reason not make Mo Fan angry?
"Team player, I understand your mood, but there is nothing you can do about it. The Nazca Painting is a weird place, and you should have seen it before.
Who knows whether going there rashly will cause a greater disaster? We have tried our best to do what we can. Your friend’s footprints point to the depths of the Nazca giant paintings. I can’t guess how dangerous it is there.
There was no way I was going to let my soldiers die there! I went to the core myself to do this, and eventually your friend's tracks disappeared before the black pattern of Kars, and that's all the information we got!
Don't blame me for being too talkative. Being cursed by Kars is almost life-or-death." General Mott was also confused at the moment, and even a little angry. They were really at a disadvantage in this matter, and they helped you.
It was such a big favor, but in the end I couldn't find anyone, and telling the truth would also tarnish the image of their government.
"Don't talk to me about this, don't I know where Akiko's footprints disappeared? But this is your territory, I don't believe you can't do anything about it!
Also, if you dare to curse again, don’t blame me for falling out with you on the spot!” Mo Fan wanted to grab Mote’s collar and beat him up, but now he just relied on his remaining reason to restrain himself.
The faces of the national team members standing behind Mo Fan were also very gloomy. To be honest, if Shen Ming hadn't disappeared, they wouldn't even want to stay in this ghost place for one more second.
The experience in Peru left a deep impression on them, and of course it was not a good impression. They were almost frightened along the way. The country's incompetence and inaction in all aspects really gave them insights.
"That's enough, Mo Fan! Since they won't look for it, let's go! We have to meet people... In short, the national team will never do such a thing by abandoning their teammates!" Ai Jiangtu stepped forward.
, he glanced at General Mott and said very domineeringly.
After listening to Ai Jiangtu's words, except for Zhao Manyan and Duanmu Fang who had no reaction, the other members of the National Team looked at each other. Although they did not object to Ai Jiangtu's decision in public, they were sure after thinking about it.
Still somewhat reluctant.
It is an indisputable fact that Shen Ming saved them, but no one wants to take the risk again and find someone who may never be found.
They are naturally aware of the weirdness of the curse system, and the curse mark that Shen Ming is holding is an ancient curse. Let’s not talk about whether it can be solved. Even if there is a way, after such a long time, is it still possible to solve it?
The three days that Ai Jiangtu himself said, now I don't know how many days have passed.
"Hmph!" Mo Fan snorted coldly. He would never believe that something unexpected happened to Shen Ming. This was not the first time this guy had frightened her. Which time did he not run back completely?
Shen Ming was probably trapped by something. This was what Mo Fan was most worried about. If the rescue was not timely, there might be no chance.
"Rather than counting on these losers, it's better to rely on yourself!" Mo Fan turned around and glanced at the members of the national team, and continued: "I know not everyone of you is willing, and I won't force it! But I, Mo Fan, must do it.
Find Akiko."
"Mo Fan, we don't mean that. Shen Ming is kind to everyone, how could he not go to him? It's just... there has to be a direction, right?" Zu Jiming took a step forward and said very "helplessly".
"Zu Jiming, you are really a considerate man..." Jiang Shaoxu almost didn't laugh after hearing this. He looked at the other person and said, emphasizing the word "man".
When he was in Donghai City, if Shen Ming hadn't taken action in time, Jiang Shaoxu might have been tricked to death by Zu Jiming. Whenever there was danger, he was the first one to retreat. It's a bit confusing to talk about this here now.
ridiculous.
"Jiang Shaoxu, don't be so weird here. I just talked about the current problem. Is there anything wrong?" Zu Jiming glared at Jiang Shaoxu.
Zhao Manyan looked at this scene and sneered in his heart. He could feel that the anger level in Mo Fan's heart was about to explode. These guys are still adding fuel to the fire here. They are really not afraid that this living king of hell will go crazy and disown his relatives!
Duanmu Fang and Zhao Manyan looked at each other, silently walked behind Mo Fan, and put their shoulders on Mo Fan. Although they didn't say anything, they silently expressed their support.
"Thank you. Time is running out. I don't want to be here. Let's go..." After Mo Fan said this, he stopped paying attention to the others. Since others can't be relied on, it's better to rely on yourself and walked straight out of the hall.
Zhao Manyan also followed and walked out. Duanmu Fang paused and said to Ai Jiangtu: "You should stay, this kind of thing cannot be forced. The team cannot be dispersed, and...Brother Shen will definitely come back safely!
"
After saying this, Duanmu Fang also ran out, leaving the others in the hall, each with their heads lowered and thoughtful.
In fact, for them, this may be an opportunity to make friends with Shen Ming. But how many people believe that Shen Ming is still alive? It has been so long, so although there is no large-scale army entering the Nazca giant painting
, but satellite surveillance is almost 24 hours a day, monitoring that area. If anyone is found, they will have been discovered.
"Sigh... You guys always make the atmosphere so tense. Don't let anything happen... Otherwise, how can I explain to Tutu?" Ai Jiangtu sighed secretly in his heart as he watched the three people leaving.
He also doesn't want anything to happen to Shen Ming, but in this situation, it's hard to say...
Just when Ai Jiangtu was about to take the team to the Peruvian airport and rush to the next destination, Mo Fan and the other three who had just walked out of the lobby turned back again, with happy faces on their faces.
"That guy is fine... let's go to the next destination and meet him!"
…
…
"Thank you. Without your satellite phone, I would really be helpless."
Shen Ming returned the private satellite phone to Captain Song, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been missing for such a long time. With Mo Fan's character, he still had to dig deep to find himself?
"You're welcome. Speaking of which, Brother Shen, the Amazon rainforest is not a good place to go. Although we are only in the fringe area now, powerful demons will still appear from time to time. So the probability of this is relatively low. It can be said that tourism If we get separated..." Captain Song coughed, and the meaning of his words was already obvious.
"Brother Song, if it weren't for an accident, I would never have appeared here. To be honest, I heard everything you just said. I also want to be honest, if I really have any other thoughts about you, you won't have any. Any chance." Shen Ming didn't want the other party to be wary again and again. He really had no interest in pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. It would only bring trouble to himself and make the other party have other ideas.
"Oh?" Captain Song's eyes lit up, his face a little surprised, but his eyes told that he didn't really believe what someone said.
"Young man, you have to draft a draft when you are bragging. Has your hair grown all the way? Do you want auntie to check it for you?" the strong woman who just defended Deputy Chief Zhang Long said jokingly.
The other team members around him burst out laughing. Although Shen Ming had some strength, such arrogant remarks still made them feel that the young man in front of them was too arrogant.
"Okay, everyone, let's set off quickly! We must complete the survey before Thomas arrives. The Thousand Layer Cave is ahead." Team Song said loudly to his team members, and then turned to Shen Ming again: "I'm afraid We have to make Brother Shen wait a little longer. When we complete the task, we will definitely take you out of this rainforest."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Shen Ming smiled and shook his head. He was not in a hurry to go out now.
No one believed me when I told the truth. Could it be because I always lied in the past? No, Shen Ming always thought that he was an honest and capable young man (?????)????
But that's fine. Let them think of themselves as an arrogant person instead of a threatening person, which will save them from causing some strange troubles.
Mercenaries are mercenaries after all. As long as there is no money involved, nothing will happen.
…
"What's going on?" Ai Jiangtu was a little uncomfortable with Mo Fan's sudden change of attitude. He was filled with indignation just now, so why is he smiling again?
"Mingzi just made a satellite phone call to tell me that he is safe. He seems to be in the Amazon rainforest now. The signal there is extremely weak. He happened to meet a group of mercenaries and borrowed their satellite phone to call. "Yes." Mo Fan sighed and felt relieved, finally nothing happened.
"Amazon rainforest? How did he get there? That place is quite far away from the Nazca paintings!"
"The devil knows what's going on. That guy always likes to run around, no matter what. It scares me to death! Every day..." Mo Fan patted his chest and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Has the curse on him been solved?" Ai Jiangtu continued to ask. What he was most worried about was the curse on Shen Ming. That thing was not easy to break.
"It seems to be settled. Mingzi, let's try not to go to the Nazca Giant Painting again. He said that place is quite weird." Mo Fan nodded and recounted what Shen Ming had just said to him.
"Is your friend a god? He was cursed by Kars and still survived." General Mott, who had been listening, finally showed a shocked expression on his face, full of disbelief.
Listening to General Mott's soliloquy, Mo Fan smiled faintly, and even showed a slightly proud expression on his face. What scene has Shen Ming not seen before? Counting what he knew, it was already shocking!
Shen Ming has encountered countless troubles, but every time, this guy has lived well. If you put it on an ordinary person, just one thing can last a lifetime.
"General Mott, your country's attitude towards facing difficulties once again really surprises me. The so-called Nazca Bird Curse has been bothering you for so long, but no one has ever thought about solving it. Instead, they have just avoided it. With such an attitude towards things, even sacrifice is meaningless." Ai Jiangtu shook his head and said lightly.
I really don’t go abroad, I don’t know what I will be shocked when I go abroad. Compared with the attitude of domestic people, these people abroad are really weak. They are really capitalists who speak English, and they are ridiculously stupid!
…
In the cool cave, the sound of water dripping kept ringing. In such a gloomy place, everyone in the mercenary team showed joy on their faces. The man holding the detector said excitedly:
"Captain, the detection value of the mana raw stone mine here has completely exceeded the standard, indicating that there is indeed a large amount of storage here. We can call it a day!"
"Great!" Captain Song also breathed a sigh of relief. This trip finally achieved its goal. Thinking about the sky-high reward he would soon get, he couldn't help but feel excited.
But Shen Ming on the side looked at the excited people at this moment, but he couldn't be happy at all!
Shen Ming knelt down and looked at the turbid puddles on the ground with the help of weak light. He sniffed sharply. The faint smell made Shen Ming frown.
"There should have been living creatures living here before." Shen Ming said to himself. This kind of cool place in the humid and hot Amazon forest is an excellent habitat for cold-blooded monsters. It is still daytime, so it stands to reason Those monsters that like to be active at night should still be in the cave.
This puddle is so smelly that it is probably the excretion of some kind of demon.
"I don't think this place is suitable for staying for a long time. Let's leave quickly!"
Just when everyone was so happy, Shen Ming spoke.
"Brother Shen, don't be so anxious. If you walk further in, you should be able to see the exposed primitive mine. When the time comes, we can knock a piece back and use it as proof of the detection result." Captain Song said with a smile. Now There is only one last step left, and they can complete the task and receive the money, so they are naturally in a good mood.
"Here..." Shen Ming wanted to say something more, but a strong wind suddenly hit from the depths of the cave, accompanied by a disgusting stench that filled the cave.
Regarding this sudden change, Team Song immediately became nervous. He was so overwhelmed with joy that he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment. Otherwise, how could he not find traces of demons living here with many years of mercenary experience.
"Captain, that strange wind just now couldn't be..." one of the team members said in a low voice, taking two steps back slightly, obviously having a fearful suspicion in his heart.
"We have come this far. Even if there is a real dragon in front of us, we have to die! If we can't get back the raw stone mine samples, won't all our efforts be wasted?" Captain Song gritted his teeth. If he leaves now, there may be no danger.
It will be unknown if we go further into the freezing depths. But things have reached this point, and we are just one step away from success. I am absolutely unwilling to give up now!
"Since ancient times, power and money have been the most deceptive." Shen Ming sighed in his heart. He knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade these guys. Originally, they were just licking blood on the tip of a knife to live their lives. If they flinched every time they encountered danger, then
And make a lot of money?
"Just keep going!"
Everyone continued to move deeper into the cave, with Shen Ming following behind, ready to take action at any time.
Triple sense has been turned on, and Shen Ming can clearly feel a powerful aura deep in the cave, which seems to be at the command level. This is also the reason why Shen Ming is willing to go deeper. If it is only a command level demon, then he can at least ensure that
He can save one person and take him out of this tropical rain forest. If he were stronger, Shen Ming would definitely kill the duck and run away. He would rather spend more time wandering around in the rain forest than make fun of his own life.
