Edward's reflexes and reconnaissance experience were immense, and he noticed something unusual when he heard what seemed to be a natural cooing. You must know that there is no such thing as a frog here, whether it is geography or season, if there is a sound of this thing, then there can only be one reason, which is artificial imitation, and the reason for imitation is very simple, that should be someone using this to make a code for each other.

At this time, Edward's eyes no longer had the bland smile he had before, replaced by an extremely fierce killing intent and vigilance. According to his empirical analysis, many people are already surrounded by this place, and he is afraid that he will face a fierce battle.

The gurgling outside the cave quickly subsided, and no sound could be heard outside the cave except for the sound of dripping rain.

Edward kept approaching the entrance of the cave with a short gun, his eyes sharply observing every move outside, but everything was so calm and natural that it seemed that there was no danger. Edward was surprised by this scene, and he even began to wonder if what he had just foreseen was superfluous, could it be his own auditory hallucinations or some kind of animal that made this sound by chance?

At the same time, Edward thought about it, and the few eagles he had arranged outside the cave did not report to him, thinking that they did not notice any anomalies, so they were so stable.

Thinking of this, Edward suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his vigilance dropped a lot at the moment, and the whole person was also relaxed.

When Edward walked to the entrance of the cave, he still didn't feel any unusual sight or sound, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to put away his gun and return to the cave, suddenly a black shadow jumped down from above the hole, with a little bit of water vapor to kill the general, and a pair of powerful legs roared towards Edward's chest.

Such a sudden attack really left Edward defenseless, and it was impossible for him to shoot back again. At that moment, Edward's arms were quickly folded and embraced, completely protecting his head, neck, and chest, while his body leaned back as best to slow down the opponent's strong attack.

But a heavy crash of bones was heard, and Edward's body flew straight back.

The force of the attack that Edward endured was so powerful that if it had been kicked directly in the chest, it would have shattered his sternum and killed him instantly. Fortunately, it reacted quickly and made the greatest protection when the crisis plummeted, and because the opponent was a surprise attack, the excessive attack speed affected the attack power to a certain extent, and at the same time, his arms were also fixed on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and the amplitude of the attack was also greatly affected, which also made Edward not fully bear the attack force.

After Edward was repelled by a leg, the short gun in his hand also fell off, Edward snorted in pain, but even so, he endured severe pain and tried his best to maintain his body balance, he had found that although the opponent's surprise attack was fierce, the attack was incoherent due to the objective environment, which left himself a chance to breathe.

After taking a few steps back, Edward stood up and then wiped his sore arm on the back of his waist, not knowing what he had done, and at the same time Edward let out a low voice: "Young master, be careful!

With that, he roared and counterattacked towards the entrance of the cave.

Lird was taken aback by the sudden upheaval, and in his daze, Edward and the attacker had already completed their first confrontation, and only then did he react after hearing Edward's desperate reminder, Lird knew that he could not delay until tomorrow morning at the latest, and now his location had been exposed.

Lird's first instinct was to reach the handle of the gun with his hand in his arms, but it did not move. Edward's second game of controlling the hostages was naturally to let Lird control Raqqa as a threat, but Lird was never able to do such a thing.

By this time, Edward had rushed back to the entrance of the cave, and the man who had attacked him had completely jumped down and stood firm. Neither of them could see each other's faces before they swung their fists at each other.

"Bang!" but a cracking sound of sore teeth was heard, but this time it was not Edward, but the attacker.

The assailant snorted, then took a step back, his hand bones already bruised from the punch, and he knew that although there were no major fractures, several phalanges should have been cracked.

Jean made the attacker surprised, he didn't expect Edward's fist to be so powerful, just now his fist seemed to hit a ball of mixed steel and heavy iron.

Soon, he found the answer. But seeing that Edward had a shiny metal finger on his hand, it was this thing that hurt him.

The attacker snorted at this, obviously sneering at Edward's "despicable" methods, but Edward didn't think much of it, in his eyes it was the most despicable to attack someone who hurt people in secret.

Edward's first judgment was to use the Finger Tiger, a more modest weapon, although it seemed much less powerful than the dagger, but it achieved the same surprise effect, making up for the gap between Edward and the opponent in the shortest possible time.

However, Edward's previous attack was really unclear, so that the qi and blood in his chest were also churning now, and the punch just now did not even reach the sixty percent strength of the usual process, otherwise the opponent's hand would not be able to be saved at all.

After this fight, both of them knew that the other party was by no means good, and they were in the stage of confrontation with each other for a while, and they did not attack again.

And when the two were facing each other, both of them saw each other's faces thoroughly, and the first to react was Edward, because the face of the person standing in front of him was familiar to him, because this person often appeared next to Lird.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Lird's voice rang out. At this time, Lird was rushing over with a gun to help Edward, but when he saw the face of the visitor, he couldn't help but shout to stop it.

The man who attacked Edward was none other than Jim.

...

"Hmph, that's a good calculation. Deliberately exposing myself is actually luring me out and attacking. Not to mention that your fingers are really strong, and you can even pick up such slippery stones. ”

Edward and Jim, who had stopped fighting, walked into the cave under the introduction and maneuvering of Lird, Jim saw the trapped Raqqa at first sight, and immediately rushed up to check the situation, Raqqa couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he saw Jim, this was the first time he had seen his own people in a while.

While watching the scene of the people gathering, while rubbing his chest, which was still swollen, Edward leaned against the stone wall and sneered.

He knew that Jim's palm must have been injured, so he insisted on the strength of his fingers at the end, in order to provoke Jim.

Jim let out a cold sound when he heard this, then glared at Edward and said, "You guy, let go of Raqka!"

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "Before I left the United States, I heard Mr. Wyatt say that your English level is very average, but now it sounds pretty good, it seems that you have practiced speaking with Master Leard a lot during this time." ”

Jim didn't have the heart to pay attention to Edward's nonsense, and he said angrily, "Did you hear me? Don't want me to say it a second time!"

Edward shook his neck, then patted the gun he had picked up in his waist and said, "I heard you, and not a word is bad, but you say strange or not, I not only want you to say it a second time, but I also want to hear you say it a third or fourth time." ”

"You—" Jim stood up and was about to rush up to fight Edward, who also held his hand on the handle of the gun, and drew his gun whenever Jim dared to approach him.

"Well, don't argue. ”

At this point, Lird spoke again, and quickly stood between the impulsive two.

"Jim, don't get excited!" Lird was the first to comfort Jim, Jim looked at Lird coldly, although he didn't say much, but he still snorted in extreme dissatisfaction, obviously very unhappy with Lird's inaction.

Lird also understood this, and then turned his head to Edward and said: "Edward, Jim is not an outsider, if there is only one person in my tribe here who can be trusted, then only Jim, he is not only the person who brought me here from the United States, but also my friend." So don't provoke him anymore. ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders, let go of his hand from the handle of the gun and said, "Okay, young master, in fact, I don't have any ill intentions, as long as no one threatens our safety, I am definitely a pacifist." ”

"Jim is not going to pose any threat to us, he's here to help us," Lird said. ”

Edward snorted, "Well, that's right, he almost helped me go to God just now." ”

Lird said: "Please, Edward, please forget about that, everything was just an accident, no one knows what happened, it was just a misunderstanding, fortunately you didn't suffer any major damage, and you fought back beautifully, didn't you?"

Edward heard this: "Hmm, young master, you also think my punch is great, right?"

Lird was a little angry when he heard this, he didn't want to be mixed up by Edward's chaotic words, so he shook his head noncommittally and said, "Please, Edward, put an end to that." Listen to me, we can really let Raqqa go now, we don't need to restrain him. ”

Edward shook his head when he heard this, "No, no, young master, I think this guy's greatest value has only been shown at this time, and it is not in vain that I have spent the time and experience spent feeding him to eat and drink." You must know that if we release him, the situation we will face is two against two, it's not that I look down on you, but young master, you are not of much value in the confrontation. ”

"You—" This time even Lird was choked speechless.

Edward then looked past Lird to Jim and said, "I understand your feelings, and believe me, my thoughts may be similar to yours now." But there's no way I'm going to let this guy go now, Rakqa. I had come all the way from America to keep my employer, and last night Master Lird had the most perilous moment of his life, and he would have been dead by the time I showed up five seconds later. ”

"In the eyes of Master Leard, you are his friend and a person he trusts, but in my eyes you and your people are of one mind, and I cannot trust you, let alone understand the purpose of your visit, even if you can speak English fluently. ”

"So I advise you, if you really regard Master Learder as a friend, then restrain your restless and anxious mood first, and then discuss other matters when everything is all right. Otherwise, we will only have to meet each other. ”

Edward's words really made sense, and even Jim, who was in a rage, lost a little bit of his serious anger when he heard this, and then he looked at Lird and said, "You were attacked last night?"

Lird nodded silently.

Jim didn't say anything more, turned his head to look at Raqqa, and then said something to him in his native Atlantean language, Raqqa looked very indifferent, and smiled and said something to Jim, who nodded in return.

At this time, Edward said to Jim, "Oh, young master. Now our disadvantage is evident, they can understand our language, but we listen to them as if we were listening to a book from heaven. ”

"I can speak Polish, do you?"

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a shame that I haven't had a girlfriend from Poland for many years." ”

At this time, Jim and Raqqa had stopped talking, Jim looked at Lird and said, "Raqqa said that he trusts you absolutely, and that you have helped him a lot during this time, let me say thank you for him." ”

Lird shook his head and said, "Where, I didn't do anything. Saying this, Liald was ashamed of his earlier caution and inaction.

This time Jim sat down next to Raqqa, and then said to Lird, "Tell me, what happened last night?"

Lird let out a long sigh and sat down, but Edward stood still, and could see that he was wary of everything.

Lird said, "Before I say, I want to ask you a question, where did you leave the big tent last night?"

Jim frowned and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm in the big tent." ”

Leard was also stunned when he heard this, and said, "How is it possible? I didn't see you when I came out." ”

Jim's face became a little ugly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's because I was drugged and fell asleep, and the person who drugged me was Granny Chas..."
