The night is reckless, and the moon shadow is crimson.

On the barren saline plains, there was only the hoarse sound of the axle turning, and the friction and hideous wiping of weapons.

After breaking through the encirclement of the puppet beast and galloping for several miles, Han Jun, who finally retreated from the center of the delusional beast, caught up with the footsteps of the team again.

However, with Han Jun's return, the atmosphere in the team has become strangely dull.

A hint of a bad premonition quietly permeated Su Mu's heart.

Sure enough, when Su Mu had just given birth to such worries, the defenders led by the five-person team, as well as the older brother among the twins, approached Han Jun's direction almost at the same time.

Then the two of them were in a very tacit understanding, and directly let the brother of the twin brother speak:

"You've long been aware of those parasitic beasts, and it's only to assert your dominance that you're withholding such important information?"

Of course, Han Jun was speechless for the questioning of the two.

To a certain extent, the result of this fact is indeed to maintain Han Jun's right to speak. So even if Han Jun had other considerations at the time, it was not convincing at all.

Seeing that Han Jun acquiesced to this fact, the two did not continue to be harsh.

After all, today's Han Jun is still the most powerful person in the entire mercenary group.

However, the two made a special trip to raise this question, and it was not intended to seek any justice.

The core purpose of the two of them, and the forces they each represent, is still ...... Regain control of the team once again.

"The command of the mercenaries must be agreed upon by both of us. You must also ensure that you will follow our arrangements for the rest of your trip. ”

"This is you...... As a decision-maker, you have to pay the price for the tragic death of that companion!"

......

As soon as there was a change of power, under this calm appearance, it quietly rose and returned to calm.

And Su Mu himself, because he was engraved with the mark of Han Jun's party, at this time, as Han Jun lost his voice in the mercenary team, Su Mu was also marginalized again.

Fortunately, Su Mu himself didn't care in the first place.

The more the mercenaries did not allow Su Mu to enter the inner circle, the more convenient it was for Su Mu to continue to practice his fighting skills.

As long as everyone can truly get rid of the tracking of the worms, no matter who commands them next, or how they command them, they will not have any impact on Su Mu.

And the only thing that made Su Mu slightly suspicious and even extremely vigilant was ...... But it is a mystery on Han Jun.

Han Jun's behavior so far seems to be thinking about the entire mercenary team. From this point alone, there seems to be no problem at all.

But the strange thing is that although Han Jun is trying to do such logical behaviors, there are always some clues of discord and illogic in his execution of these behaviors.

In fact, from the very beginning, Su Mu had already noticed:

Han Jun's attention to the mercenary team far exceeded the indifference he had shown so far.

It can even be said that he is always watching the situation of the mercenaries.

Therefore, in order to steal the fighting skills, Su Mu carefully observed the mercenary's behavior, and only Han Jun, who was also observing others, paid all the attention.

And what can confirm Su Mu's suspicions is ...... Later, in order to clear up the relationship with this trip, Han Jun also specially took out the Sacrificial Fire Wood and the Delusion Beast Illustrated Book, and claimed that he was actually a delusional beast hunter.

However, as a "delusional beast hunter", Han Jun would discover the existence of the Bone Sand Scorpion later than Su Mu, who had only hurriedly looked at the illustrated book.

Obviously, whether it was Han Jun's repeated concealment of his identity, or his close attention to the mercenaries' behavior.

All of this undoubtedly shows that he still has secrets to hide.

It's just that Su Mu is also confused about this secret and what it is.

......

After another few hours of moonlit nights, when the archer in charge of reconnaissance finally determined that there was no trace of the puppet beast within a radius of several miles, the mercenaries finally got another chance to breathe.

By this time the sky was already white, and the sun at the end of the wilderness was trying to climb out of the horizon, trying to show its gentleness and charm.

"Rest in batches and set off again at noon. ”

After regaining the right to speak, the twin brothers quickly gave orders to the entire mercenary team.

And the mercenaries who didn't stop all night, of course, did not hesitate to confirm their rotation guards, and quickly entered the nap with their weapons on the spot.

And at this time, the twin brothers are not unaware of priorities.

For Han Jun, Su Mu, and the five-person team with the strongest combat effectiveness in the team, they immediately arranged that there was no need to rotate, so that everyone could recharge as soon as possible.

Of course, Su Mu would not refuse this, compared to other people's simple hurry, if he was a person like him who was also familiar with fighting skills, the consumption would be even greater.

Therefore, Su Mu did not hesitate at this time, and directly thrust the giant sword on his back to the ground, and then leaned his back against the spine of the sword and fell into a deep sleep.

......

I don't know how long the time has passed, but when Su Mu opened his eyes again, the fierce sun was already scorching the earth.

However, when the scene in front of Su Mu's eyes became clearer little by little in a trance.

The first thing that caught Su Mu's eyes was a dignified face.

All the mercenaries looked in the same direction with heavy eyes, as if there was some kind of danger in that direction, and they were approaching the crowd step by step.

Seeing this, Su Mu immediately looked at the place where everyone was watching.

I saw that about a hundred meters away from the crowd, there were countless nematode-like invertebrates, which were winding and twisting to smell the mercenary breath waving in the wind.

There is no doubt that these extremely ugly and hideous monsters are the essence of the fifth-order delusional demon creeping earth worm.

After last night's chaos, most of the beasts parasitized by the worms were destroyed. However, they still did not choose to give up, and still fell behind the mercenary team, waiting for the next attack.

Fortunately, because there were no other beasts in the vicinity, the worms did not have the ability to attack, although they were far away.

But even so, it's not a good idea to keep waiting.

After all, although there are few wild beasts in this saline-alkali plain, they have not yet reached the level of no traces.

And once the worms are allowed to drive out the next batch of beast bodies to attack, the mercenary team that has lost the control of the bone sand scorpion seems to be difficult to resist the entire group of fifth-order delirium.

"We have no choice, we have to go back to the trade routes, otherwise...... Everybody's going to die here!"
