Ouyang Liu had actually thought about this question as well.

He was cultivating in the forest again, and he was dispelling the curse, and he had been delayed for more than half a month before returning here.

In his prediction, Gong Xiuyuan should come back before him.

However, Gong Xiuyuan did not come back.

In other words, Gong Xiuyuan either had an accident, or he just wanted to take the opportunity to leave the team.

Ouyang Liu vaguely felt that Gong Xiuyuan was more likely to encounter an accident.

Because judging from Gong Xiuyuan's dedication to strength, it is impossible for him to be willing to be trapped in the human level for the rest of his life.

If you want to improve your strength, you are actually safer in the team.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "I think it's more likely that Xiaoyuan will encounter an accident."

After all, we emerged from the Beast Forest, and any accident there is a possibility. ”

"Did you have an accident? Then should we go and find Xiaoyuan?"

Ouyang Liu refused without hesitation: "No, with Xiaoyuan's IQ, he should be able to solve the trouble." ”

He was already annoyed by this bunch of, so naturally he didn't have the heart to take care of Gong Xiuyuan.

And he supported Gong Xiuyuan in order to share the trouble for himself, not to find trouble for himself.

Although Xiahou Shang was still a little worried about Gong Xiuyuan, Ouyang Liu's attitude was resolute, and he couldn't leave by himself, so he had to give up.

......

Gong Xiuyuan, who was being discussed by the two, was groping his way in a dark crypt at the moment.

Half a month ago, Gong Xiuyuan, like Ouyang Liu, appeared in the Beast Forest out of thin air.

His luck was better than Ouyang Liu's, and he didn't fall into the trap set by others.

In front of him, there was only a hungry demon wolf.

It was also thanks to this demon wolf that Gong Xiuyuan was startled by the sudden appearance, and did not step forward to bite it at the first time, which gave Gong Xiuyuan a chance to breathe.

However, when the demon wolf came to his senses, a marathon chase began in the Beast Forest.

Gong Xiuyuan panicked, so he had to choose to drill into various rock crevices.

What he didn't expect was that there was a crack in the rock, which was directly connected to a crypt.

Although this crypt allowed him to escape the pursuit of the demon wolf, he could never go up again.

The entrance to the crypt resembles a large gourd, and the surrounding stone walls are extremely smooth.

Gong Xiuyuan tried a variety of methods, but he couldn't climb out the same way.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to explore below.

This crypt was far more vast than Gong Xiuyuan had imagined, and he explored for several days in a row, but he did not find the end of the crypt, but completely lost.

Fortunately, there are cool springs and all kinds of poisonous insects here, so he barely survived.

As a last resort, he had to keep absorbing the soul stones in his backpack, hoping that after his spirit became more sensitive, he would be able to find a way out.

Gong Xiuyuan touched the backpack that was drying up day by day, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

"I've used so many soul stones, and when I get out, the sixth brother won't let me pay for it......

Although this thought often flashed through him, the speed at which he absorbed the soul stone did not decrease at all, on the contrary, because he became more and more accustomed to the soul stone, the speed of absorption became faster and faster.

When he absorbed the spiritual power contained in a soul stone again, his spiritual power finally began its first transformation.

After a whirlwind, Gong Xiuyuan regained stability.

In his perception, there was also a little more thing that he hadn't discovered before.

He had a vague feeling that something was calling him from the depths of the crypt.

'What is calling me?'

Is it a way out there, or something horrible there?'

After Gong Xiuyuan hesitated for a while, he finally decided to go over there and have a look.

......

After Ouyang Liu chatted with Xiahou Shang for a while, he already had a general understanding of the changes in the outside world in the recent period.

He frowned, "I didn't expect this small world to have such a big impact.

Although this matter has nothing to do with me, after all, I have been to the small world, and it is inevitable that people will notice me.

Jia Xincheng, I can't stay any longer.

I'm going to find a hidden place outside the city for a while now.

When I find a place to stay, I'll come back and tell you that you'll need to forge the Ghost Rat. ”

After he finished speaking, seeing that Xiahou Shang had nothing more to add, he turned around and left this courtyard.

Ouyang Liu had just left this courtyard not far away, and he was a little unhappy to find that someone had fallen far behind him.

'Who is this!'

Although his mentality has not collapsed, he is really a little impatient.

After sensing it for a while, he found that the person who fell behind him was a second-grade man.

Ouyang Liu had the heart to see what this person was about, so he simply didn't get rid of this person, and still walked all the way out of Jiaxin City at the original speed.

The man who fell behind him also chased all the way out of the city.

This person followed for a while, and then found that Ouyang Liu had gone into a dense forest.

After a slight hesitation, he plunged headlong into the dense forest.

Just as he was about to follow the traces on the ground and follow all the way, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and then fainted.

After Ouyang Liu stunned this man, he directly carried him all the way into the dense forest.

When he confirmed that there was no trace of human activity around, he finally threw the man on the ground.

Without waiting for this person to wake up, Ouyang Liu slapped this person on the head.

In fact, with Ouyang Liu's current control of spiritual power, confusing a second-grade martial artist of the second rank no longer needs the assistance of his movements.

However, he was used to filming before, and he felt that it felt better, so he still slapped it.

With a muffled sound, the man finally opened his hazy eyes.

Ouyang Liu said lightly: "Who are you and why are you following me?"

"My name is Zhuo Le, and I want to ask you whether Xiahou Shang has done anything to us. ”

The corners of Ouyang Liu's mouth twitched suddenly.

He had already guessed Zhuo Le's origin at this time.

"You were one of the Beastmaster mercenary squads who joined the Beastmaster mercenary team before?"

"Yes, at that time, we thought that it might be more convenient to suppress bandits as an auxiliary mercenary group in Jiaxin City, so we signed a contract. ”

Ouyang Liu sighed and said, "When did you start spying on Xiahou Shang?"

"It started more than ten days ago.

At that time, our people had accidents one after another, and some people suspected that Xiahou Shang had done something to us.

It's just that we didn't have evidence at that time, and we were afraid that if we moved Xiahou Shang, it would cause unpredictable risks.

So we began to take turns to monitor Xiahou Shang.

It's just that Xiahou Shang is too vigilant, and as long as we get closer, we will be discovered by him.

We had to keep an eye on the periphery. ”

"What other plans do you have besides stalking?"

"We ......"

In one question and one answer, Ouyang Liu already had a general understanding of the dynamics of this group of people.
