Chapter 2816: Chapter 2817: Thrill
"Indeed, if their goal is also the relics, it will pose a threat to us," Jing Hongsi said:
"And besides, the ancient books we obtained here last time were also snatched by their people. This time counts as revenge."
Hearing this, Junno Tai’s face turned grim.
"That’s not enough. The people we really need to retaliate against are from Squad One! That man is the real culprit!"
"I heard they’ve landed on the island recently and have been causing quite a stir."
"Hmm, it must have been stirred up by the Gongyuan Association. As for how it will be handled in the end, we just need to watch," Junno Tai said:
"If we get the chance, let’s take action against them."
"Understood."
At this moment, the Skull Squad had already arrived at the entrance of the ruins and went inside without any hesitation.
For these people, there was no danger here at all, nothing to worry about.
Not just them, even the former Flame Dragon team would have the same thought.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and the others were ambushed in the forest, like cobras ready to strike.
"The target has appeared, when do we make a move?" Lu Yu asked softly.
"Now!"
As the words fell, Lin Yi’s figure shot out of the forest like a black lightning bolt, with the others following closely behind.
Everyone had their own target, but it wasn’t the members of the Skull Squad, it was the large rocks scattered at the cave entrance!
During the ambush, Lin Yi had assigned targets to everyone.
They were to find stones they could handle and then hit them with a wave.
Now, the opportunity had come!
Quickly, everyone picked up a large rock and methodically piled them at the entrance!
The cave entrance was not large to begin with, so they didn’t even need to fill it entirely with rocks to block it.
Encountering someone like Lin Yi was a stroke of bad luck for them.
After the first round of moving stones, they moved another round, until the entrance was blocked so tightly that not even an ant could crawl through!
Meanwhile, with their deep infiltration and the cautious operations of Lin Yi and others, Junno Tai and the rest didn’t notice what was happening outside.
But soon, they sensed something was amiss.
"Captain, there’s a snake on the ground," Jing Hongsi said.
"In a place like this, encountering snakes is normal, what’s there to be surprised about?"
Jing Hongsi shrugged without saying anything else, because it indeed wasn’t worth noting, after all, this is Tilia Island.
But he sensed something unusual because in their previous visits, they had never seen such things.
A few minutes later, the Skull Squad arrived at the center of the great hall.
Under the spotlight from above, they saw the scene inside.
They discovered several Giant Pythons spitting their tongues, glaring at them hungrily!
Aside from that, countless small snakes wriggled on the ground, densely packed, giving everyone goosebumps.
"How could this happen!"
Junno Tai was dumbfounded.
They had been here many times before and nothing like this had happened.
Why were there so many snakes this time!
"Run!"
At Junno Tai’s command, the Skull Squad members took to their heels!
But upon reaching the cave entrance, they were horrified to find it blocked!
"Damn it, who the hell blocked the entrance!" Junno Tai cursed loudly.
"Captain, now’s not the time to worry about these things. We need to find a way to get out of here quickly. If those big snakes catch up, we’ll be in danger!"
"Quickly get the tools, and push these stones away!"
At this moment, Lin Yi and the others, who were outside moving stones, had already heard the cries from inside.
And a feeling of exhilaration arose in their hearts.
For them, it’s been a long time since they’ve encountered something so fun.
The sounds of fear and cursing intertwined.
But for Lin Yi, it felt like a cheer for himself.
"Keep working, don’t slack off, " Lin Jiang called out: "Let them have a good reunion inside, no one should leave first."
"Haha..." Jiang Zhengnan laughed, "You’re really wicked, if someone didn’t know, they’d think you were the victim."
"Haha..." Lin Yi also laughed, "That’s exactly the effect I want, to mess with them to death!"
Finally, Lin Yi and the others piled all the stones at the entrance, then withdrew rapidly under the cover of darkness.
And by dawn, they safely returned to the base.
"Today’s work was thrilling."
Back in the safety zone, the group removed their gear, the smiles on their faces never fading.
"I bet they still have no idea who did it until now."
"That’s exactly the effect we want."
After a short thrill, Jiang Zhengnan took out some alcohol, ready for a good drink.
By noon, they received news from Qiu Yuluo.
She was bringing the second group and had already boarded the ship for the island, and would arrive at Tilia Island in about an hour.
Afterward, Lin Yi sent Xiao Bing and Zhao Yunhu out to pick them up.
When Qiu Yuluo arrived, she found Lin Yi and the others were having a great time drinking.
"What happened to make the scene so big?" Qiu Yuluo asked.
"Come, come, sit down and have a drink."
Lu Yu pulled Qiu Yuluo to the side and told her exactly what happened last night.
But Qiu Yuluo remained very calm.
In her view, Lin Yi doing something like this was routine, she was already used to it.
In the afternoon, as Lin Yi and the others were planning to leave the island by sea, the drinking event was coming to an end.
"I won’t see you off later," Jiang Zhengnan said:
"As for the Crystal Stone we obtained, we’ll send it back through secret means, for the rest of the specifics, you can brief Yuluo."
"Do you need our help with the escort?"
Lin Yi knew quite a bit about the unspoken rules here.
According to the rules, nothing from the island could be taken away.
But the rules are meaningless if not meant to be broken.
So everyone secretly transported what they needed for research.
Just using a very secretive route.
"I’ll discuss the specific arrangements with Director Liu, this thing is important, we may need your support," Jiang Zhengnan said:
"Anyway, you guys go back first, and listen to Director Liu’s arrangements for what to do."
"Okay." Lin Yi nodded, "How much longer will you guys be staying?"
"Maybe a few more months, I guess when you guys make a second landing, we’ll still be here."
Lin Yi nodded silently, "You guys have worked hard."
Jiang Zhengnan patted Lin Yi’s shoulder.
Some things don’t need to be said much.
Saying too much gets pretentious.
Afterward, Jiang Zhengnan gave some more instructions, and Lin Yi and the others headed to the port, embarking on their journey home.
