C60 Lay the Line and Catch the Big Fish

Right after Lee Xiang and the others left, two figures rushed towards them at high speed. With just one look, one could tell that they weren't ordinary people. Soon, they arrived at the riverside where an intense battle had taken place.

The two of them stood by the riverside and looked at the dozens of corpses arranged neatly. At the same time, there was a moment of silence. One of them carefully searched the corpses for something, but in the end, it was futile. After a long while, the man sighed. "We're late! I didn't expect that we would come all the way here after receiving the signal. We're still a step too late! "

"We should still be able to catch up now. " The other person was filled with anger.

"I don't mind. . . But it seems like they're riding on a raft along the river. Even if they catch up, I'm afraid they'll reach the deepest part of the forest!"

"So what? Don't tell me I'm afraid of a mere level six knight and an immature mage?" That person had an angry look on his face.

"Of course you're not afraid, but what if someone secretly helps them? Even if they don't help them, But don't forget that you're still a mage, and you seem to be an outstanding mage, right? Unfortunately, this forest doesn't seem to like mages coming in. . . Back then, Doug didn't go out ever since he came in. . . "

" These are just rumors. . . " The mage's expression slightly changed, and he forcefully retorted, but this kind of refutation seemed to be more powerless in the other person's ears.

The other person slightly nodded: "That's right, this is indeed a rumor. Moreover, no one has confirmed it for so many years. . . But do you know why no one has been able to verify it? That's because no one has truly walked into the deepest part of this forest for so many years, so they have no way of verifying it! Even if the people from the Church came to investigate, they have no way of verifying it! They have only walked a step forward after coming here, so up until now, they have not taken another step forward. All the people who are paying attention to this place received the news that this place is safe. "

The mage was silent for a moment. Of course, he wouldn't doubt this person's words. With his identity, it was very normal for him to know this.

"Are you going to let him go just like this? You have to know that Robert is one of your people!"

"Isn't there still one of your people here?" The man frowned and asked back. "Although I don't know what happened, from what I saw along the way, Robert must have been ambushed, which is why they were all wiped out, so I think someone is secretly helping them. Otherwise, just a rank 6 knight and a mage who is not good enough would not be so powerful. Did you notice the death of these people? They seemed to have been hit by a very strange bow and arrow, but all the bows and arrows were taken away. It was obvious that they were deliberately hiding their identities, and Robert was the most miserable one among them. The reason why he did this was obviously because he wanted to force something out of his mouth. Fortunately, we have already made arrangements and made sufficient preparations. It seems that the enemy has not gained anything, but this is still very bad news for us. Therefore, the next step should be to go back and think about the next step. . . "

The mage nodded and then suddenly remembered something else. He asked in a deep voice, "By the way, I have always been very strange. Since they were ambushed, it was obvious that they did not have the time to send out a distress signal. My people didn't give me a signal at all. How did you know that something went wrong with them? "

"Let me remind you, we're just cooperating, so there are a lot of things that you don't need to know so clearly?" That person's face darkened, clearly displeased.

The mage groaned: "I know even if you didn't say it. Didn't you arrange someone among them? Didn't the first thing you did when you came here was to find the secret signal he left for you? But unfortunately, you didn't find it, did you? I think someone must have noticed you as well. . . "

The person fell silent for a while before finally nodding his head helplessly. He was indeed a little worried. This was also why he was in a hurry to return and discuss a countermeasure.

"But luckily, this Lee Xiang can barely be counted as a mage. Although he is not very good, I wonder if he can pass through this forest that is known as a mage's nightmare. "

The two of them stood by the river for a long time, until they finally left. They did not realize that there was a pair of green eyes staring at them from the woods behind them. Until they had completely left. This pair of dark green eyes suddenly lit up. In the dark night. . . It emitted an incomparably strange light.

Beside this pair of dark green eyes, there was a very inconspicuous wooden tablet. If one didn't carefully look at it, one wouldn't be able to notice it at all.

Welcome to hell! A few large blood-red words were written on the signboard in a shocking manner. Next to the words, there was a line of small words.

Those who enter will die!

. . . 。

Sitting on the raft, Lee Xiang and the other two followed the direction of the Yalu River and drifted downstream. In the beginning, due to the lack of maintenance and management in the river for a long time, the river was not very fast. In the end, Bill and Buda had no choice but to go ashore halfway. They made two simple oar to increase the speed of the raft.

Lee Xiang was rarely free. Taking advantage of this period of leisure, he had to organize his thoughts again. Because he always felt that Robert's sudden death was incomprehensible. In the end, he concluded that his death had a lot to do with one or a few of the remaining people.

Lee Xiang had his own reasons for making such a conclusion.

The reason was very simple. Since Robert had been captured, he had always wanted to die. If he was the one hiding the poison, he would have killed himself long ago. Why did he have to wait until he was tortured? If someone was hiding in the woods to help him, he could totally save Robert. Since he could do this without anyone noticing, it naturally proved that he was very powerful. Therefore, After eliminating them one by one, Lee Xiang finally confirmed that the person who had helped him die was one of them.

After going through his endless barrage of theories, he finally found something suspicious. He realized that he had overlooked a problem that was the easiest to overlook.

All this time, he had been thinking about which few people had come into contact with Robert's body midway, but he had neglected who had come into contact with his body indirectly.

For example, Buda! He had touched the sword in his hand before. And it was because his sword had cut off Robert's left hand from the beginning. Actually, this speculation was a little far-fetched, but after careful analysis, It was precisely this far-fetched speculation that made Lee Xiang unable to start suspecting Buda. If it was the other few people who directly came into contact with Robert's body and helped him, then he wouldn't have had to suffer all the torture and suddenly die from poisoning. The best time to poison him was during the process of torturing him. This way, it was the least likely to arouse other people's suspicion. Because he could totally tamper with that sword. There were also a few other reasons for Lee Xiang to suspect him.

Because Lee Xiang noticed that after being attacked by this group of people, Buda had been by his side and had never left. Of course, this might be to ensure his safety. However, from another perspective, wasn't this also because he was hiding from those people who had mistakenly killed him?

In fact, Lee Xiang had started to have some doubts in his heart before he got on the raft. This was also the reason why he arranged for Buda to follow by his side, because he needed to find a way to prove it. It was actually very simple to prove it. He had a thousand ways to prove it.

Reality proved that Buda indeed had some problems.

As for why Lee Xiang did not interrogate him directly, the reason was very simple. First of all, he was worried that Buda had accomplices, which meant that there were still people hiding among the remaining few of them. If he continued to torture and interrogate them, he was afraid that Buda would follow in Robert's footsteps. This was also one of the reasons why he wanted them to leave in groups. Secondly, even if it proved that there was something wrong with Buda. This time, he would not be foolish enough to do this. He had another better idea. This was the decision he made after thinking for a long time on the way.

He understood the principle of letting the long line catch the big fish better than anyone else.

To be honest, after coming to this conclusion, even Lee Xiang himself broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, his ambush plan today had worked. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. If they were exposed in advance, they would probably be ambushed by others instead.
