C237 Wily Stratagem
Wang Han walked over to where he was standing just now. Fu Shidong also walked over and picked up an item from the ground.
"Bullet shell!"
Fu Shidong passed the item in his hand to Jiang Chen and mouthed it silently.
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed. This was indeed an empty shell case. It was very new, not the shell of an old-fashioned hunting rifle, but a very advanced semi-automatic rifle.
A group of people with guns had arrived before them. What was their purpose in coming here was intriguing.
Looking at Wang Han's state, it seemed that he was somewhat alert. After all, no one would know if they killed someone here. If they couldn't even find a corpse after a long time, it would easily cause uneasiness.
Wang Han carefully groped his way forward. After walking for about dozens of meters, he stopped beside a thick tree. Leaning against the tree, he squatted down and pointed to the front, indicating Jiang Chen and Wu Tie to find a place to hide.
The two of them quickly found a tree each to hide. At the same time, they stuck their heads out and looked towards where Wang Han was looking at.
Roughly thirty or forty meters in front of them, a line of nearly ten people was resting around a dilapidated wooden house.
Other than a middle-aged man wearing an army green climbing uniform, the rest of them each had a semi-automatic rifle and bulging waists, as if they were carrying other weapons.
It was hard to imagine that such a team, armed to the bone and entering the mountains, had ever done anything good.
However, since this place was not close to the border, there was no need to talk about contraband. Thus, their goal was even more intriguing.
Wang Han came close to Jiang Chen, leaned against the tree trunk and whispered, "The wooden house beside them was left behind by Zhoba all those years ago. Wang Han came close to Jiang Chen, leaned against the tree trunk and whispered," The wooden house beside them was left behind by Zhoba all those years ago.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly. He also had the same guess. With Wang Han's words, he could not help but be more sure of this matter.
And these guns meant that they knew that the place was dangerous, and that they might have heard the story of Zobah.
Another possibility was that they even knew what had attacked Zobah that year, which was why they had brought their guns with them to defend themselves.
"Hm!" These people even brought guns with them. Their goal is definitely not simple. "
Jiang Chen replied.
"What should we do? Should we go back or continue forward?"
Wang Han asked.
Jiang Chen was a bit hesitant. He stuck his head out and looked, and was also thinking about what to do.
It wasn't difficult for him and Fu Shidong to deal with these people by himself, but that was when the other side didn't have a gun.
Almost all of them had guns now. Before they reached the Ji Realm, no one dared to say they were not afraid of bullets.
While he was looking over there, the middle-aged man in military green hiking uniform looked at Jiang Chen vigilantly. Then, he quickly retracted his gaze.
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed. Could it be that the middle-aged man was a fighter? Otherwise, why would he look over here?
As he thought of this, the people on the other side packed their stuff and prepared to leave.
With the middle-aged man leading the way, everyone else immediately prepared their guns and followed behind him with their backpacks.
Right now, the question left for Jiang Chen was whether he should keep up with the other. If he kept up, it was very likely that he would face a direct confrontation. However, if he didn't, he could only turn back the way he came.
Since he was already here, Jiang Chen was unwilling to go back. On one hand, he had to get the Red Jade Dew Fruit on the other.
"Follow behind them. With them leading the way, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. If not, we can go back."
Jiang Chen made a decision and followed her.0
Wealth comes from danger. If there really was a conflict with those people, they could still run away if they couldn't win.
Wang Han glanced at him and didn't say anything, but he also didn't have any intention of retreating.
He walked out from behind the tree and left a mark on the tree with his machete. Then, he glanced in the direction those people left and hurriedly followed along with Jiang Chen and the rest.
The three of them were like three wolves that were about to pounce on their prey, carefully following behind that group of people. Almost every time they were about to disappear from sight, they would hurry up and catch up.
After walking back and forth for a distance, the team in front of them suddenly stopped, as if they had discovered something.
Jiang Chen and the other two carefully moved closer, arriving about ten meters away from them.
In front of them was an empty area without trees. These people stopped at the edge of the empty area and looked into the distance as if they were looking for something.
Wang Han waved at Jiang Chen and used a branch to write two words on the ground: road sign.
Jiang Chen understood clearly, it seemed that this clearing was also one of the road signs on the Zoban map.
Although he had not seen the map before, he had heard Zhuo Ba say that there were more than a dozen road signs on the map, and each one was extremely important.
After all, there was no sign to find a place in this forest of trees. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At the same time, in this kind of place, there were many dangers coming from within the forest. Without a guarantee of life, it would be even more difficult to calm down and search for that place.
"My friend who's been hiding in the forest for so long, why didn't you come out to meet me?"
Jiang Chen was thinking when he suddenly heard a loud shout from the middle-aged man in camouflage climbing uniform.
He was startled. It seemed like he had already discovered the three of them when he was at the wooden house. It was just that he did not reveal them immediately.
But since it didn't explode just now, why did it have to explode with three people at this moment?
Thinking this way, Jiang Chen didn't stay any longer. He walked out from behind the tree he was hiding in and approached the spearmen step by step with Fu Shidong and Wang Han.
"I didn't expect the three of you to be following us. I wonder what purpose you three have in following us. You three should be at the wooden house, following us!"
The middle-aged man in camouflage clothes swept his gaze over the three of them and finally landed on Jiang Chen. His intuition told him that Jiang Chen was the leader of this team.
"We didn't have any purpose, we were just exploring the mountain, and coincidentally ran into you at the wooden house. I didn't expect to meet you after walking for a while."
This group of people obviously wouldn't believe Jiang Chen's words, but right now, it was a competition of who showed fear first and who was more patient.
"Oh!" For those who want to explore as they please, it would be better to travel with us. We will protect you from the back, and you guys will be able to see a lot of new things that the outside world does not have. "
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, but no one could tell that it was a smile of joy.
Jiang Chen sneered secretly. This was obviously trying to seize the strong!
He wanted the three of them to pave the way for them and test if there was any danger ahead. This idea was quite good.
"There's no need for that!" We were just taking a stroll around the city and are preparing to leave soon. You all definitely aren't planning to leave immediately, right? "
