196. Underground Trading
"Damn! Where the hell is it? ”
Chen Xiao jumped from the tree, fell straight to the ground, and looked for it nearby.
There were no signs around, just some weeds and some palm leaves.
The palm leaves are very large, and some of the leaves can even wrap around a person, and at this time, these leaves seriously interfere with Chen Xiao's vision.
There was no way, Chen Xiao could only chop off the leaves and move forward.
What Chen Xiao forgot was actually Alice, since the man came to him pretending to be her, then the real Alice must have been hidden by him somewhere, and maybe she suffered some harm.
"I should have thought of it sooner... It's been so long, and I don't know if there are any mutated creatures on this island..."
I don't know how long I walked, Chen Xiao began to find some traces, but they were all chaotic footprints, and there were no clues.
"It seems that there are people passing by in this area, and there is more than one person, I don't know if it is friend or foe, I still have to be careful."
Chen Xiao grabbed a tree next to him, climbed the tree with a stumbling face, leaned on the dense branches on it, covered his figure, and moved quickly.
Finally, in the distance, he found a campsite.
Said to be a campsite, in fact, it was just a fire, and there were three men sitting next to the fire, just like the man before, all dressed in strange costumes, I don't know if they also have the ability to stealth.
Chen Xiao slowly touched it from above, listening intently, wanting to hear what they were talking about again.
"Huh! I heard that the chameleon guy caught a beautiful girl again, how can he let him touch any good thing? ”
"Don't complain, if you have this time, you might as well think about how to catch one yourself."
"You think I don't want to catch it? Those people are now learning at the top, no matter what sounds are outside, they just don't go out, I don't have a chance at all! ”
"That's it! It's not a shame, this is why you are not good at learning, don't complain about this and that! ”
When Chen Xiao heard this, he probably understood their purpose.
They're the kind of people who resemble human traffickers, and they don't know what they're going to do or where they're going, but it's certainly not a good thing, and these people aren't good people.
And listening to what they just said, that chameleon should be the man they met before, so the beautiful girl they are talking about must be Alice.
Although he didn't really want to waste time here, Alice was his lifesaver after all, if he left her alone, then he wouldn't forgive himself, and the condemnation in his heart would make him miserable.
Chen Xiao didn't rush to attack, after the experience with that man just now, these people are estimated to have the ability to be invisible, so it is not advisable to startle the snake, so they can only follow them slowly.
When the three men had rested, they got up and walked into the distance, not knowing where they were going.
I saw them turn left and right, and kept shuttling through the forest, and seemed to know this place very well, and after walking for a while, they came to a tree, and there was a tree house on the tree.
A man who looked like a leader spoke.
"Who's going to try it out there? Skinny monkey? ”
"Let the gecko go, I've been so bad luck lately!"
Beside the man, there stood a thin man with sharp beak and monkey cheeks, this person was called Skinny Monkey, and he was also the person who had been complaining just now.
There was a big tall man beside him, he was the gecko in the mouth of the thin monkey, in addition to being tall, his face was also very long, and it was a little terrifying.
After the gecko heard the thin monkey's words, he didn't have any expression, just said lightly.
"If you don't want to go, forget it, then I'll go..."
The gecko slowly came to the tree and climbed up quickly, and the action was really like a gecko.
And as he climbed, his appearance kept changing, and by the time he reached the treehouse, his body had changed into a young girl.
Gently slamming the door, the gecko asked softly inside.
"Is there anyone in there? I'm lost here, can you help me find my way? ”
At first, no one spoke inside, but when the gecko asked a second time, voices gradually came from inside.
"Who? I don't know the way, so you better go find someone else! ”
"Don't, brother, look at me as a woman, in this wilderness, how difficult it is, you just come out to help me!"
Hearing that it was a man inside, the gecko smiled slightly, dealing with men, he is very set, he doesn't know how many people he has deceived with this image, as long as a man looks at her, he can't help but look at it a few more times.
Chen Xiao looked at the gecko's means from a distance, and kept thinking in his heart.
"Fortunately, I've seen the transformation process, if I face this guy head-on, I don't know how many chances I have."
Although this guy's appearance is worse than Medusa's, it's actually okay to deal with ordinary people, just like the man in this treehouse.
The man in the tree house quietly came to the cat's eye in front of the door, looked out along the cat's eye, and found that it was a stunning woman, and her hands no longer obeyed her own call, and slowly held the doorknob.
However, the moment he opened the door, he was already fooled.
With a muffled sound, the man was hit hard in the neck and fell to the ground, and after the gecko eliminated the prey, he waved his hand downward and said softly.
"Come on, it's solved!"
The gecko dragged the unconscious man into the house and closed the door as the skinny monkey and the head entered the house.
Seeing them close the door, Chen Xiao hurriedly crawled towards the tree house, and came to the skylight, peeking inside.
The three of them tied him hands and feet, then threw him aside, and then sat down at a table next to him and began to talk.
"How? Boss, isn't it beautiful this time? Gecko said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's much stronger than the skinny monkey!"
"Eh, eh! Boss, don't be wrong with you, I can deal with this kind of undetermined man! This doesn't show strength at all. ”
"But the number of people you have caught now is not even half of the gecko..."
"You...!"
The skinny monkey didn't argue with them anymore, he knew that there was no point in arguing any longer, and it was better to prove himself later.
"Okay, hurry up and pack that man and take him away, today's arrest mission is over!"
The trio quickly got to their feet, and the gecko lifted his trophy with both arms and carried it out.
The other two followed, but they didn't know that someone was staring at them on the rooftop all the time.
Several people turned left and right again, and they didn't know how long they walked, and finally suddenly disappeared.
Chen Xiao hurriedly turned over and got off the tree and came to the place where they had just disappeared, but he didn't find them, they seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and they didn't know where they went?
"Strange? Did they use their power? But the man who was arrested shouldn't be invisible? ”
After searching around for a long time, Chen Xiao finally found a clue.
"Is this a trap? Or..."
Next to a tree, there is a large pit, covered with weeds and fallen leaves, and it is really impossible to see if you don't look closely.
Chen Xiao slowly flipped through the debris on it and found that it was not a trap. It was actually a downward passage, a staircase from the top to the bottom.
"Did they go down from here?"
The road below seems to be very long, but it can be vaguely seen on the ground, and there is a flickering light below, which indicates that there is a light underneath, and there must be a torch without a lamp.
As long as there is light, it means that there must be people, and those people must have gone down from here, otherwise, it is impossible to disappear all at once.
Chen Xiao didn't hesitate this time, and walked straight down the stairs.
The further down you go, the brighter the light becomes, and after walking for a while, the passage is already brightly lit. There was also the noise of some crowds, which reminded him of the underground trading place, the slave market.
Chen Xiao walked slowly down the stairs until he came to a hall, which was much larger than the slave market, and there were a lot of people.
Except for a few people in fancy costumes, most of them are some middle-aged greasy men with bloated and fat bodies, although I don't know how they got here, but seeing these people here is enough to say something.
