"Wait, we don't care, but they're still down there, will something happen?" Yang Yi said, the "they" in his mouth naturally referred to Huang Hailin and Xiao Qin, and possibly the starling who had been chasing and pecking him.

"You don't have to worry about this, the Yin Spirits can distinguish between friend and foe, and will not kill each other. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Yang Yi sighed, although he was worried about the safety of Huang Hailin and the others, he couldn't do anything, his special function could only force the Yin Soul out of the possessed person, but there was no way to eliminate them, forcing the Yin Soul out was more variable, and no one knew who they would possess next.

"How long does it take for the mechanism to run in a cycle?" Wang Xinran asked Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran wanted to determine how long he would have to wait, but he couldn't answer this question, so he could only smile bitterly, "How do I know, you have to go down and ask Huang Hailin." ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Ying walked over from a distance, picked up the corpse of a mercenary who had fallen to the ground, stepped on the steps, and hung the corpse on the skein above the steps.

Although Zhao Ying could carry the corpse, it was not easy, seeing that she was a little struggling, Wu Zhongyuan got up to help, and seeing that he wanted to get up, Wang happily squinted at him.

If he sat down like this, Wu Zhongyuan would not be Wu Zhongyuan, knowing that Wang Xinran was looking at him, he still got up and carried the body of the other mercenary and threw it into the trap behind the steps.

Wang Xinran knew why Zhao Ying did this, but she didn't have the idea of a truce, "Are you worried that the mercenary who is alive will clash with us when he sees their corpses?"

"Isn't that exactly what you want?" Zhao Ying sneered, "I won't give you an excuse to do it." ”

"I'm not going to leave you an excuse to be an accomplice and clear your name. Wang Xinran was also sneering.

The two of them pointed to Mai Mang, Wu Zhongyuan listened to the clouds next to him, and thought for more than ten seconds before he understood what the two meant, Zhao Ying meant that Wang Xinran deliberately did not dispose of the corpse, so as to intensify the conflict, make the last mercenary angry, and then take the opportunity to eradicate him.

And Wang Xinran meant that the last mercenary was alive and was a potential threat to them, and it was possible to shoot a black gun from behind, if Zhao Ying killed them with his own hands, he would definitely not forgive Zhao Ying, but if this mercenary killed them "without authorization", he might cooperate with Zhao Ying and others.

Thinking about what the two of them were thinking, Wu Zhongyuan frowned secretly, these two women were more thoughtful than him, and all kinds of potential possibilities were thought of.

"If she dares to kill anyone who kills me, I will kill her. Zhao Ying said to Wu Zhongyuan.

"I agree," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "but if your people dare to shoot a black gun in the back, I will kill you." ”

Zhao Ying glanced at Wu Zhongyuan and nodded with a smile, "Yes." ”

Wu Zhongyuan is a key figure, the focus of contention between the two sides, and his attitude directly determines the nature of this matter, although the two sides are hostile, but before going out, neither is allowed to attack the other.

Wu Zhongyuan did not take any obvious side of the road, and the direct consequence of this was that both sides were dissatisfied with him, and in the eyes of both sides, he had no position.

After that, everyone did not speak for a long time, and in order to save electricity, everyone turned off the flashlights, and the stone room was pitch black.

Wu Zhongyuan doesn't like the depression in a confined environment, but he likes darkness and quiet, in which he can think better and sort out all kinds of messy clues.

The first thing he thought about was the most important question, he now had six spirit stones in his hand, one of which could be used for two, if those experts outside the country analyzed correctly, he still needed three spirit stones to activate the formation.

In addition, Zhao Ying also said just now that according to their exclusion analysis, only two spirit stones are likely to be found, including this one in Sanxingdui, that is to say, after getting this piece of Sanxingdui, there is only an unknown area with spirit stones to explore.

Now there is such a problem, even if this piece of Sanxingdui and the other piece are obtained by him, he is still one piece away, and this piece can only be obtained from Zhao Ying.

How can I get a spirit stone from her?

This matter must be very difficult, but it is not completely impossible, because Zhao Ying did not know that he had a spirit stone in his hand that had not been used, and the energy contained in this spirit stone was equivalent to two ordinary spirit stones. The direct consequence of this situation was that even if he got the spirit stones here and another area, in Zhao Ying's opinion, he only had seven spirit stones in his hands, and even if he was given another one, he would only have eight, and with only eight, he would definitely not be able to leave.

As long as Zhao Ying had this kind of thought, it was not completely impossible for him to get a spirit stone from her.

Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled and curious about the area other than Sanxingdui that might contain spirit stones, according to Zhao Ying's words, that area was more dangerous than Sanxingdui, but at this time he could only suppress his doubts and curiosity, because even if he asked, Zhao Ying would definitely not tell him about the situation, unless he agreed to cooperate with Zhao Ying and others.

Another problem he faced at this time was that the Eighteenth Branch had not been able to find any more clues related to those warriors for a long time, and he was currently short of three spirit stones, if he continued to cooperate with the Eighteenth Branch, the possibility of finding three spirit stones within half a year was very small, even if it was three years. Previously, in front of the dungeon where the great wizard was sleeping, he had seen a message he had sent to himself when he returned to the past, even if he could go back after half a year, the situation of his tribe was already very bad, half a year was already the limit, and if it dragged on, even if he went back, he could only collect the corpses of his own people.

Can't afford to delay, can't drag.

Since he can't afford to drag it out, he can only "cooperate" with Zhao Ying and others, and only by cooperating with Zhao Ying and others can he know where to find the next spirit stone.

But right now, Zhao Ying and the others think that he has five spirit stones, if he gets another one here, he will have six, and Zhao Ying has three, this is nine, if he gets the last one, it will be ten yuan, once he has enough ten yuan, Zhao Ying and others will strengthen their precautions against him, and follow him to the underground palace where the formation is located, once he leaves, the formation and shutdown device that open the wormhole will fall into the hands of Zhao Ying and others, and this is what he does not want to see.

He didn't really want to cooperate with Zhao Ying, so no matter what, he couldn't let Zhao Ying and the others think that he had gathered ten spirit stones, so he definitely couldn't hold a piece of it in his own hands, and he had to try to get Wang Xinran to take it, not only to let Wang Xinran take it, but also to secretly hand over the unused spirit stone to Wang Xinran, so as to prevent Zhao Ying and others from rummaging through his backpack in the process of "cooperation".

After a comprehensive and sober review of the situation he faced, Wu Zhongyuan made the decision to "cooperate" with Zhao Ying.

To cooperate with Zhao Ying is to break with Wang Xinran and others, Wang Xinran is very smart, she will definitely understand her actions, but Zhao Ying is also very smart, how can it be reasonable to break with Wang Xinran? How can a break not arouse her suspicion?

He has to find an opportunity, and he has to find the right opportunity, from this moment on, he can no longer have private contact with Wang Xinran, it is best to always be in Zhao Ying's sight, otherwise Zhao Ying will suspect that he is conspiring with Wang Xinran.

In addition to these, he was still thinking about another thing, that is, how to give an explanation to Zhao Ying, and in the end, he had to give Zhao Ying an explanation, an explanation so that she would not be severely punished by her superiors, no matter what methods and means he used to get the spirit stone from her, the essence was to deceive her, and the deception itself was based on the other party's trust in himself, and men should not deceive a woman who trusted him, even if this woman was a hostile force outside the country.

If you want to give her an explanation, you will definitely lose some research value to a greater or lesser extent, which is not what a person with a clear position should do, but this is what a man should do.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours, two hours or so, everyone faintly heard the strange sound of the stones rubbing, which indicated that the mechanism in the labyrinth was pushing the people trapped inside here.

Hearing the strange noise, everyone stood up and turned on the flashlight.

Wu Zhongyuan was the first to turn on the flashlight, and after opening it, he first illuminated the entrance, then turned around to illuminate the hanged corpses, and finally walked to the back of the steps to observe the corpse he had thrown into the trap earlier.

His series of actions seemed to anyone to be observing the deaths of the two mercenaries who had been killed earlier, to ensure that the people who were about to come in would not find out that they had been killed, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to hand over the spirit stone to Wang Xinran, because the more people there were, the more difficult it was for him to find a suitable opportunity to transfer the spirit stone.

He has night vision, he could have left the light on, and the purpose of turning on the light was to shake Zhao Ying's eyes when she turned her head, so that she could not see clearly in a short period of time, so that she could transfer the spirit stone more secretly.

When returning from the trap, Wu Zhongyuan stuffed the spirit stone that he had taken out of the opportunity to drink water into Wang Xinran's hand.

Wang Xinran turned his head in confusion, Wu Zhongyuan had already walked forward.

Wang Xinran had already reacted while turning her head, and she didn't raise her hand to check, she guessed what Wu Zhongyuan gave her according to the shape and weight of the object, and even understood what Wu Zhongyuan's purpose was in doing this.

The sound of stones rubbing became clearer and clearer, and after a few minutes, footsteps appeared at the entrance, and soon, Lin Qingming and a mercenary appeared under the illumination of everyone's lights.

Seeing the familiar figure and face, Wu Zhongyuan was so excited, he thought that he would never see Lin Qingming again, and seeing him again from here, he really felt like a world away.

"Brother. Wu Zhongyuan greeted him happily.

Lin Qingming didn't expect to see Wu Zhongyuan here, he was very surprised, "Why are you here?"

Before Wu Zhongyuan could answer, a gunshot suddenly rang out behind him, and the mercenary walking next to Lin Qingming fell to the ground.

Wu Zhongyuan turned around when he heard the voice, only to see that Wang Xinran had already turned the gun and aimed it at Zhao Ying, "Don't move." ”

"What are you doing?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted.

Wang Xinran didn't answer, but said to Yang Yi on the side, "Surrender her gun." ”

Yang Yi was also a little surprised, but he still walked over and unloaded Zhao Ying's pistol.

"Search. Wang Xinran said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stepped forward, pushed Yang Yi away, turned his head and said happily to Wang, "What do you want to do?"

"They won't kill you, but they will kill us. Wang said happily.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran, pulled out his pistol and stuffed it into Zhao Ying's hand.

Zhao Ying glanced at Wang Xinran coldly, loaded the bullet, and pinned the pistol to his waist.

When the accident happened, Lin Qingming had been watching coldly, and only then did he ask Wu Zhongyuan until the dust settled, "Who are they?"

"Official," Mr. Wu said, "they asked me to help them find something." ”

"Not doing business. Lin Qingming's expression was serious.

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless, so he could only divert the topic, "Brother, you take a rest first." ”

Lin Qingming's gaze swept over Wang Xinran and Yang Yi's faces, and then walked to Zhao Ying's side and stood with her, silently stating his position.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at Wang Xinran, he didn't blame Wang Xinran, Wang Xinran was actually cooperating with him by doing this, seizing the opportunity, creating contradictions, and paving the way for his subsequent transformation.

What is tacit understanding, this is tacit understanding, familiarity is not the root of tacit understanding, cleverness is, tacit understanding can only happen between two smart people.

Lin Qingming didn't talk much, there were outsiders present, and it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he didn't say anything more to Wu Zhongyuan, and nodded slowly after asking about the following situation, "Let's go, go down ......"
