Chapter 51: Ambush in the Water

Wei Yi and Situ Nan each looked at it for a moment, and then hurriedly hid back. The man named Mu Xinyu seems to be born with a keen sense that ordinary people don't have. Both Wei Yi and Situ Nan had a feeling that they had been discovered by him.

Especially Wei Mi, I don't know why, that Mu Xinyu's gaze always sweeps in the direction where Wei Mi is. This almost made Wei Yi break out in a cold sweat.

But fortunately, in order to cover the unknown person, Nangong Rong constantly gave Mu Xinyu all kinds of problems and diverted Mu Xinyu's attention, which allowed Wei Yi and Situ Nan to avoid the danger of being discovered.

But they didn't dare to continue probing for the time being. I can only stay where I am and wait for the right time. The two of them leaned their backs against the big rock, and they each breathed a sigh of relief.

This Mu Xinyu really doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. Wei Yi secretly calculated how many chances he could have of success. But he was frustrated to find that if he couldn't effectively avoid Mu Xinyu, he might not even be sure of Yicheng.

When Wei Yi was secretly thinking about it, Situ Nan, who was beside him, pulled his clothes with his hand. He hurriedly looked sideways at Situ Nan. Situ Nan nodded towards Wei Mi, took Wei Mi's hand, and wrote on it, "It's him." ”

Now Wei Yi understood a little. This Mu Xinyu is the leader of the group of people who went out to search and rescue a long time ago. And the dead body that was found before was obviously artificially forged as Mu Xinyu.

Wei Yi secretly thought to himself: This Mu Xinyu, why did he do this? Why would Momoyo Li stiffen people to think that he was dead? If that's the case, then there must be some kind of secret in this person named Mu Xinyu. There must be some kind of secrecy in putting his clothes on others and putting his nameplate on others.

But maybe could it be a fog set by someone else? It's like the wrong indication they received before. Someone is deliberately misleading about what? And why did the person who misled them do that?

The man who died, without a single place in his body, died a horrible death. Who would be so cruel? Could it be this Mu Xinyu? If so, then why would he do it?

In Wei Yi's mind, one question after another popped up one after another. But Wei Yi can't guess these questions at present. He didn't have enough information to know what was hidden. But he guessed that there must be some special secret hidden in Gongsun Jiu and Mu Xinyu, and even Nangong Rong and Li Mingyu, and this secret may be the key to him being able to solve the above problems.

When Wei Yi thought of the dead man, he couldn't help but feel more disgusted with the person who did it. The man died a terrible death. Not a single bone was intact, but all were broken into knots. It can be seen how vicious, cruel, and inhumane the methods of the person who started the attack are.

Wei Yi thought carefully about Nangong Rong's proposal just now. Obviously, Nangong Rong didn't recognize the two of them hiding behind this stone, otherwise he wouldn't have said something like that. It can be seen that this person is resourceful and very good at using all the resources around him.

Wei Yi secretly thought about it. He felt that if he could avoid the eyes and ears of Mu Xinyu and Gongsun Jiu, quietly lurk in the water, and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack, the success rate would indeed be quite high.

Of course, this kind of thing, I'm afraid it can only be done by himself. Situ Nan, a landlubber, can be a response on the shore. As long as you can help Nangong Rong get out of trouble, then the rest of the things should be much easier.

After Wei Yi thought about this, he wrote on Situ Nan's palm: "I'll go into the water." You're on shore. Play it by ear. ”

Situ Nan nodded, patted Wei Yi, and said with his mouth, "Be careful." ”

Wei Yi nodded and made a reassuring gesture. They waited quietly for a while. The few people around the campfire seemed to have finally rested enough, they packed their luggage, and continued on the road with Nangong Rong and Li Mingyu in tow.

When one of Gongsun Jiu's subordinates wanted to extinguish the bonfire, Mu Xinyu stopped him by speaking out. Mu Xinyu said lightly to the man: "Don't extinguish it, let it die by itself." It's damp and it's going to be fine. ”

That person may have felt that Mu Xinyu's words were very reasonable, so he didn't insist anymore. They all left the place very quickly. Wei Yi and Situ Nan didn't dare to go out immediately at this time. Not only did they not go out, but they immediately retreated a long way back to the way they came, and hid far away.

They did this because the bonfires lit up and lit up all around. If they go out at this time, there is a high possibility of exposure. Another reason was that Wei Wei's intuition told him that if he didn't leave here immediately, he would inevitably be in danger.

Sure enough. Wei Yi and Situ Nan waited quietly for a while in their new hiding place, and Mu Xinyu suddenly went and returned. He held a sharp weapon in his hand, looked around for a long time, and strode towards the place where Wei Yi and Situ Nan were hiding just now.

However, fortunately, Wei Yi was alert and left that place with Situ Nan in advance. Only then did not reveal his whereabouts. Mu Xinyu looked around carefully for a long time, and after seeing that he didn't find anything, he extinguished the bonfire and turned to leave.

Wei Yi put his ear to the ground, listening to Mu Xinyu's footsteps getting farther and farther, and his heart was relieved at this time. This person is really cunning.

They waited quietly for a while, until the surroundings were completely quiet, and then they crawled out from behind the big rocks where they were hiding, and quickly followed the direction in which Gongsun Jiu and the others had left, and hurriedly chased after them.

They followed closely all the way, and soon followed the slow-moving Gongsun Jiu and the others. Nangong Rong is worthy of being a master of causing trouble. Along the way, he found various excuses to slow down the procession. And Gongsun Jiu seems to have long understood Nangong Rong's thoughts.

Wei Yi heard Gongsun Jiu say to Nangong Rong very calmly: "Nangong Rong, I know all those tricks of yours. You know the reason why I have always tolerated you. You're dragging around now, just trying to wait for help. But do you think that in a place like this, someone might come to your rescue? ”

Nangong Rong didn't want to anger Gongsun Jiu, the reason why he did it was entirely because he saw Mu Xinyu's abnormal behavior. He was afraid that there would be no news of the foreign aid that he had been waiting for, so he delayed it again and again.

But now that Gongsun Jiu said a word, he had no choice but to put away those little tricks and obediently follow the team to move on. In order not to reveal their whereabouts, Wei Yi and Situ Nan never dared to follow too closely. They followed all the way like this, and soon came to the underground river mentioned by Nangong Rong.

It is an extremely spacious underground river. The water in the river is not rushing or slow, and it flows slowly downstream. Wei Yi saw from a distance that there seemed to be several abandoned boats floating aimlessly on the surface of the river.

From time to time, they would collide with each other, making a muffled sound of wood colliding. Wei Yi judged that there must be many undercurrents under this calm water. That might be of some help.

He secretly observed the movements of Gongsun Jiu and others. It was found that Gongsun Jiu and the others began to get busy by the river. They first filled an inflatable kayak with air. And he sent for the wooden boats.

Wei Yi waited for them to hook up the wooden boats, only to find out what kind of wooden boats were there, and they were clearly a few thick pieces of wood. These four are bare, and they don't know where these logs come from.

Gongsun Jiu and the others firmly trapped the wood around the kayak, and began to make some preparations. Li Mingyu and Nangong Rong, who were guarded aside, quietly exchanged heads and talked about something. In the darkness, there was an uneasy restlessness that danced little by little.

Wei Yi glanced around, and in the shadows, he quietly leaned on the ground, slowly moving towards the river. Situ Nan followed the others and slowly lurked towards the river.

They spared the men on the shore and quietly approached the river. Wei Yi looked at it, but in the dim environment, he couldn't judge the specific depth of the river. The river is calm.

Wei Yi quietly tied something to the rope and put it in the water. As soon as the rope hit the water, it immediately swirled around with the undercurrent in the river. Wei Yi observed for a while and found that although these undercurrents were urgent, they did not exist all the time.

He silently counted the time, and found that the undercurrents would only last for about a quarter of an hour. He thought about it silently, and felt that if he tied a rope on the shore, then he could still hold on for a long time in the water. At least, if he accidentally gets caught in the undercurrent, he can still survive.

He hurriedly whispered to Situ Nan. Situ Nan took out all the ropes in his backpack, connected them together, and made an extremely long rope. He found a large, extremely strong stone on the shore and glued one end of the rope firmly to the rock with fixing glue.

Wei Yi changed into diving clothes, and after digging out a few slender straws and a sharp dagger, he quietly made a few gestures towards Situ Nan, signaling Situ Nan to act when he saw the opportunity. Situ Nan nodded, quickly put away everything, and disappeared into the shadows.

Wei Yi tied the rope firmly around his waist and quietly slipped into the river. The temperature under the water fluctuates between hot and cold. When it was cold, it was so cold that Wei Yi shivered; When it was hot, it made Wei Yi's pores sweat outward. But thankfully, he was able to endure it.

Wei Yi gritted his teeth, breathed the outside air through the straw, and quietly lurked towards the place where Gongsun Jiu and the others were. Now, there is only one thing he has to do, and that is to wait for the right time.

Gongsun Jiu and others on the shore quickly made all preparations. Together, each wearing a life jacket, they pushed the inflated kayak into the river. All their equipment has been put on board.

Two of them escorted Li Mingyu and Nangong Rong to the boat first. After they got on the boat, Gongsun Jiu walked up quickly, picked the safest position, and sat down. And Mu Xinyu was the last to get on board. He looked around, refusing to move, as if he was still looking for something, until Gongsun Jiu greeted him several times, and he slowly got on the boat.

But when he got on the boat, he still stared at the direction in which Wei Yi went into the water for a long time. Situ Nan, who was hiding in the shadows, was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
