"What did you say?!" The old man's face darkened, and his gaze slowly shifted to Maori: "Your friend has indeed helped us, but this kindness does not allow you to slander the hunter so much. ”

His voice was very faint, but he did not hide his killing intent at all, it is not difficult to imagine that as a hunter, he can live to such an age, this old man is definitely not an ordinary person.

It is also said that the most important thing for the hunters is the team, and even they can put the interests of the team above their own lives, which is inseparable from the fact that they have been trained to 'focus on the task since childhood', so Maori's sentence is undoubtedly the kind of slap and slap in the face of these people.

"If you hadn't saved 71's life, I would have a reason to hammer you into meat sauce right now!" Behind Maori, the short, stout man who had clenched his fist at the beginning also leaned in, his knuckles creaking so that he could hear it even through his fists.

However, Maori didn't mean to panic at all, he smiled and continued to maintain the posture just now: "I can probably understand your team model of mutual trust, but except for the mole, I have no way to understand how your whereabouts were exposed along the way."

Of course, I don't care about your team, I just want you to tell me the direction of the nearest town, and tomorrow morning, my friends and I will leave your group and go to town on our own...... As for you, I can only wish you good luck. ”

Mao said in a non-salty tone, the meaning is also obvious, he just recognized that there were traitors in this team, so he was not ready to follow this team, as for whether your gang will be wiped out by the traitors, it doesn't matter to him.

It's frustrating, but it's also reasonable.

"Be smart." The short, stout man muttered indignantly, and then crouched on the ground.

"We just solved a raid on dead bodies in the afternoon, and it should be safe tonight, if you insist on going it alone, then please do it." The old man also said in a deep voice, this was his last word, and after saying that, he returned to the shadows, as if he wanted to rest.

The firelight flickered, the night gradually fell, the hunters entered the rest very quickly, almost a few minutes, they could fall asleep, this cave was one of the few secret places they could sleep peacefully along the way, so they were not willing to waste this hard-won opportunity to rest.

In the cave, the only thing that was quiet was the soft sound of the cracked wood......

However, everyone didn't seem to be asleep, like the old man.

Maori's words were like a thorn in his throat, making it difficult for him to sleep. As an old hunter, of course he knows that the possibility of having a spy in the team is extremely low, but if he puts aside the hunter's inherent thinking and thinks only theoretically, it seems that only the term [spy] can explain why he has not been able to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

In the shadows, the old man's eyes slowly opened a gap, and under the background of the bonfire, everyone was quiet and motionless, but the old man didn't know if there were people like himself, squinting and observing themselves.

"If there is a spy, then who is he? Why did he stand on the side of the dead body, and most importantly, how did he reveal his whereabouts along the way to the enemy? ”

The old man thought like this, he squinted his eyes, observed everyone's movements, and did not sleep all night......

In the early hours of the morning, if you count according to modern time, it should be around three o'clock. The sky had just glowed, but it was able to provide some visibility.

Lu Yuan and Maori woke up and left the cave without alerting the others. The cold air of the night did not dissipate, and in the black fog, everything could only be seen gloomy outline.

"Actually, if I tell them how important I am to the world, I think they will try their best to protect you and me, and this will be an easy one." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and said.

But Maori shook his head: "Don't think about it, there are moles among them, and it is more dangerous to identify them with them." ”

"There are moles among the hunters, it's still hard to believe, how sure are you?"

"One hundred percent." Maori said, and then signaled to Lu Yuan not to stay any longer, it was better to leave.

But at this moment......

"Did you leave so early to avoid us?" A voice sounded from behind the two of them, it was the old man, Lu Yuan didn't hear any footsteps, in fact, if this guy gave himself a knife just now, then he would definitely not find out.

Good thing he didn't.

Lu Yuan turned his head: "You...... Doesn't think they should care about my stay or not. ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't speak, but finally spoke: "I have some questions about the idea of [internal traitor]. ”

"Heh~" Lu Yuan chuckled: "Didn't you say very firmly yesterday that there can't be traitors among you?" ”

"Actually, I don't agree with your idea right now, but...... I'm 70 years old, and it's not unheard of humans joining the Legion of the Dead in my life, so ...... I'd like to hear your thoughts. Of course, that's not to say that I'm suspicious of my team, but I can't walk the rest of the road with that skepticism. ”

"Well, what do you want to hear?" Maori suddenly interjected, in fact, according to the current form, he could completely ignore the old man and turn around and leave, but he still took this sentence a little abnormally.

The old man thought for a while: "First of all, let's not talk about whether there is a traitor among us, and even if there is, I don't think he can pass on the message. ”

"Oh? How can you be so sure? Maori asked rhetorically.

"Our whereabouts along the way are extremely secretive, and even the most powerful hunters can't leave any marks right under our noses, and besides, we have special people who will clean up the trail along the way."

Maori smiled: "Then how can you be sure that the person who went back to clean up the traces will not leave some clues by the way?" ”

"Of course I'm sure, because we're all different people cleaning up the traces every time, and we can't all be spies, right?"

"I see." Maori nodded: "That is, you don't need to leave a trace at all, and the enemy can find you, or ......"

Mori didn't finish the sentence, and suddenly, it was as if something had occurred to him.

Immediately, he uttered something that was confusing.

"Yesterday, the bone that ran through Hunter 71's abdomen was about 20 centimeters long."
