Why did you provoke me?

Jingyi and the alien are locked in a fierce battle.

Yan Lei encountered the same situation. Guo Tao also noticed the alien that Jing Yi saw. The process of peeling off the dough went smoothly, but when he checked it, he didn't throw away the bead. Instead, Yan Lei took it and put it in his backpack.

When Guo Tao reached out to pick up the alien on the ground, he discovered that an identical alien was still standing there.

He and Jingyi made the same choice: peeling off the sheets of dough one by one, and putting the beads into Yan Lei's backpack.

"Guotao, it's shrinking." Yan Lei looked at the alien in surprise. "One alien can make so many beads, are we going to be rich?"

"I have a feeling this bead is weird. Maybe we should just give up on it," Guotao said hesitantly.

"What can a bead possibly fly to the sky?" Yan Lei didn't see anything wrong with it.

Guo Tao looked up and glanced around; there was no one nearby.

After thinking for a moment, she took out her communication bell and snapped a series of photos of the alien on the ground and the bead in her hand, then sent them to Jingyi. "Should we collect these aliens?"

Guotao contacted Jingyi on this end, while Yan Lei had already walked a distance further inside. "Guotao, come quick, there's one more here."

Jingyi felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the eyeballs on the ground.

He looked up at Xiao Wen, whose face was pale and sweat was pouring down his face. "How can this be so strange?" Xiao Wen wiped the sweat from his face.

Guotao's message came at this time. Jingyi looked at the set of photos and sent Guotao a message without thinking, "How do you collect such a strange thing?"

Guo Tao looked at the message on the communication bell, then glanced at Yan Lei in the distance. "It's not that serious. We've collected a lot of beads. They're in Captain Yan's backpack."

Jing glanced at Guo Tao's answer and said to Xiao Wen, "You decide what to do. I'll listen to you."

Xiao Wen smiled wryly, "I can only make decisions for my own team; I have no right to interfere with Yan Lei's decisions."

"We have no right to interfere with your decisions, and my suggestion is merely a reminder." Jingyi was very clear about her position. The bone painter was just doing the work and receiving her share of the payment; everything else was none of their business.

Xiao Wen understood what Jingyi meant, "But I really don't have a good feeling about him."

Jingyi didn't say anything. He gathered the beads together, took a picture, and sent it.

In the end, Xiao Wen followed his instincts and buried the bead deep underground.

Jingyi's impression of Xiao Wen improved even more; no one could bear to part with the strange bead now that they knew its value.

Xiao Wen smiled bitterly. He didn't have that kind of grand vision; he was just afraid of dying.

Yan Lei had already strayed from his original direction. Guo Tao noticed this but did not try to persuade Yan Lei to return.

As things grew darker, Yan Lei realized something was wrong. "Where are we?" he asked Guo Tao beside him.

Guotao looked at him speechlessly, "What's wrong with you? I've been talking to you the whole time, but you just kept walking in with your head down. I couldn't stop you!"

Yan Lei looked around. "Will we be able to find our way back?"

"You can't find it?" Guo Tao looked at him strangely. This should be their most basic survival skill in the wild.

"I feel a little dizzy." Yan Lei pressed his temples, and as he spoke, he slumped to the side.

Guo Tao rushed forward, but Yan Lei was too big, and instead of being able to hold him back, he also fell to the ground.

Guo Tao struggled to stand up, but his hand on the ground withdrew. What did he see? In the grass, there were piles of pigeon egg-sized alien shapes, densely packed together. Goosebumps rose on Guo Tao's body.

He suppressed his discomfort and tried to pull Yan Lei up, but he couldn't. The unconscious Yan Lei was too heavy; he simply couldn't lift him.

Xiao Wen, who was outside the woods, had already noticed that three people were missing. He frowned and sighed softly.

Compared to the others, Xiao Wen cared most about Yan Lei. He had already sent several messages, but Yan Lei hadn't replied to any of them.

He looked at Jingyi, who took out a communication bell to contact Guotao. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be together.

Guo Tao replied quickly, "I don't know my location. Yan Lei is unconscious, and I don't know why."

Jingyi looked at Xiao Wen. "Does Yan Lei's communication ring have a location tracking feature?"

Xiao Wen nodded. "But he won't open it, so I can't locate it. Doesn't Guo Tao's have it?"

Jingyi nodded in agreement. "He didn't. He didn't make it into the top ten in that chaotic battle. In such a large forest, without a fixed location, we wouldn't be of much use if we went in." Jingyi analyzed calmly.

"But I have to go in and save him." Xiao Wen straightened his clothes, his eyes gradually hardening.

He glanced back at his teammates and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go in alone."

One of Yan Lei's teammates suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you."

Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then waved behind her. A short boy ran over and said, "Senior Brother."

"Can you help us find some clues?"

Xiao Wen looked at Jing Yi, "You don't need to take this risk with me."

"I'm not going. Can you handle the aliens?"

The short man walked in circles around the spot where Yan Lei had started, touching the grass and trees around him as he went.

"Xiao Yi, how's it going? Any clues?" Jing Yi asked softly.

"Yes, but it's strange, like being in fog, you can't see very clearly."

Yan Lei's teammates all stepped forward. "If we all go, our chances will be much greater." Xiao Wen's teammates also stood behind Xiao Wen.

Seeing the scene before her, Jingyi gestured to her people, "Let's go together, so there won't be any more accidents when we come out."

Xiao Wen remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "Thank you!"

Xiao Yi groped his way forward. The people who came in were making various marks in their own way. They didn't dare to be careless. They all knew Yan Lei's strength. Could someone who could make him unconscious be an ordinary person?

Once everyone was inside the woods, of course no one could see them. The moment they entered, the dense forest vanished, replaced by a lush green meadow with clusters of wildflowers swaying in the breeze.

The group walked on, and it grew darker and darker. Someone muttered, "It's only a few o'clock, how come it's already dark?"

Jingchuan Hall.

Secretary Wu looked at the photo Jingyi sent. What was this? A bunch of eyeballs?

Without hesitation, he went to find Yu Meng.

Looking at those strange eyes, Yu Meng had a bad feeling. "Send a message to Jingyi and tell them to get out immediately."

Secretary Wu turned on the intercom, but Jingyi didn't reply for a long time after the message was sent.

Secretary Wu took out the list and started sending a mass message: "If you receive this message, please reply 'received'."

Captain Tian: Received.

Du Wenhe: Received.

Single: received.

……

Secretary Wu frowned as he looked at the list. "Xiao Wen, Yan Lei, Jing Yi, Guo Tao, and Quan Lie have not replied."

He looked up at Yu Meng. "Has something happened?"

"Let's wait and see if we can get in touch?"

With this unexpected turn of events, Secretary Wu began sending messages to each squad's communication bell, along with the photos, warning them to stay away from these aliens as they were very dangerous, and marking them with red lines.

Yu Meng could already guess that something must have happened to Yan Lei and Xiao Wen, otherwise Jing Yi wouldn't have gone in. She couldn't believe that Jing Yi wasn't wary of such a strange creature.
