Chapter 90 Doubt

Back under the tent, Zhu Mingyao casually made up a reason why he needed to meditate daily. He walked a little away from everyone and found a shaded place next to the bus to sit cross-legged.

After hearing what he said, Charles also ordered his men to take out a meditation rug embroidered with runes that could aid meditation from the supplies he carried and lay it out for him, which was very polite and considerate.

The young man was not polite when he saw this. He sat up tall, put his hands on his knees, and lowered his eyelids. He seemed to be resting, but in fact he was concentrating on controlling the summons behind Brother Bob and his group.

[Summoning Two Generals Curse] The two generals called flying eagles and running dogs, in addition to their own magical powers and good combat prowess, also have a hidden benefit, that is, they are spirit-type summoned creatures, and their existence comes from the universe itself. , can be easily integrated into the natural atmosphere, and it is extremely difficult for experts who are not this expert to detect it.

In addition, this technique has been improved by modern predecessors, drawing on the Western method of summoning elemental creatures. Two pieces of green crystal and topaz as the core provide energy, and the duration of continuous activity is greatly enhanced, enough to track until the target is discovered.

As Zhu Mingyao immersed his mind in the magic, his vision first went dark and then suddenly became bright, and his thoughts were floating as if he were flying in mid-air.

He opened his "eyes" and saw the blue sky and the brown, yellow and ocher mountains below rushing towards him. The violent air currents swirled around him endlessly, and his mind was obviously attached to General Flying Eagle.

Through the perspective of General Flying Eagle, the blurry and shaky images of high-speed movement were instantly transmitted to Zhu Mingyao's mind. He distinguished it for a while, and soon found his target.

Far below, on the hills and ravines, there was a string of small black dots slowly moving.

……

The area here belongs to a branch of the Rocky Mountains. The height of the hills is not exaggerated, at least not the kind of cliffs that are beyond human reach. However, under the dual effects of geological activities and climate, the overall surface environment appears extremely complex. .

The large pieces of brown, yellow, and ocher crystalline rock have been eroded by millions of years of never-ending mountain winds and rains, and turned into large and small undulating stone piles, scattered in every corner of the field of vision, appearing frequently. The depressions and ditches make it even more difficult for people trying to cross them.

In normal times, no one would come to look for such troubles - since the mining of the mineral veins here has been exhausted, the surrounding residents have already moved away from this place where birds don't poop, and now only the people hibernating in the cracks of the caves are left here. The lizards and rattlesnakes inside perform scenes of love and death on the stage of nature.

But today, the barren mountain, which has been silent for a long time, has welcomed a new visitor.

Under the slightly dazzling sunshine in the afternoon, a group of people were struggling to climb over the ravines with rugged rocks.

"Huh!" The leading agent took off his expensive multi-functional goggles and dispersed the moisture emitted by the sweat in them.

He looked at the steep rocky slope that stretched in front of him like a screen, and hammered his slightly sore thigh.

Although such obstacles cannot stop the two voodoo masters, the more insurmountable the obstacle is for them, the only option is to spend time and take the long way around.

In this state, even with the blessing and reinforcement of the old warlock, the dozen or so armed agents were still moving very slowly.

"It's a pity that the terrain here is not convenient for helicopters to enter, otherwise it would be much easier." The agent captain thought with regret.

"Bah...baah, did you hear that? According to subsequent divination corrections, the target is within three to four kilometers northwest of you, and it is very close."

Just when he made a helpless gesture and was about to lead his teammates around the steep slope, Charles's voice came from the communicator in his ear at the right time.

He cheered up, waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and exchanged information with the commander at the temporary command point.

After a while, the agent captain walked to Brother Bob on the side and asked politely:

"Two respected advisors, we are already close to the target. The problem we are facing now is that the other party is likely to be in an abandoned tunnel. What Chief Charles means is, can you two find a way to pinpoint its specific location?"

What responded to him was a long silence. The old black warlock closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. His face was neither happy nor sad. The agent captain was a little baffled by the other party's cold attitude, and couldn't help but think about whether he said something wrong.

After a while, seeing that old Bob still had a yin and yang look on his face, he couldn't help but press him again:
  "It's almost dusk. If we wait until the sun goes down, it might be even more detrimental to our search, so..."

"I'm just waiting for dusk!"

The old warlock suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly. He looked up at the red sun disk hanging in the western sky. He changed his cold and arrogant look before and explained.

"Too strong sunlight will interfere with my tracking technique. Please be patient and wait for a while."

As he spoke, he retreated to a rock wall as if he really disliked the sunshine being too bright, letting the tall shadow cast by the rock wall cover his whole body.

As a professional official, the agent captain instinctively felt that the other party was trying to shirk and prevaricate. However, due to his status, it was difficult for him to criticize, so he had no choice but to report the situation to Charles while silently greeting his teammates to take a rest.

However, neither Brother Bob, who was leaning in the shadows, nor the armed agents who were on guard, could notice that there was a pair of transparent eyes watching here in the air several hundred meters away diagonally behind.

"This old guy really has something up his sleeve!"

Although Zhu Mingyao placed most of his attention on General Flying Eagle, it did not mean that the main body was unconscious. He moved his ears slightly and heard all the words of Charles under the tent communicating with the agents in front.

The information he heard coupled with the scene he "saw" reminded him of the pretentiousness the old black man had just made to stop him from going with him.

Zhu Mingyao was 60 to 70% sure that there was something wrong with old Bob.

His eyelids were slightly raised and he opened a slit, glanced at the people under the tent, and chewed his teeth.

"But this kind of thing is baseless and there is no way to say it!"

The boy's thoughts swirled in his chest for a few times, and he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​coming forward to accuse.

No matter how suspicious the person's behavior is, he hasn't done anything yet, so if he talks about it, he can only make nonsense.

"It seems we have to wait and see what happens." Thinking of this, Zhu Mingyao secretly became more vigilant.

Time passed by minute by second, and the red sun finally converged its light and heat, and swayed on the top of the west hill, slowly sinking behind the mountains.

The voice of the old black man suddenly came from the shadow of the rock wall that had lost the sunlight and became a little denser:

"Okay, you can start now." Old Bob smiled gloomily, and the muscles on his face affected some gray age spots, which looked a little strange.

He knelt down, took out a palm-sized rectangular wooden box and placed it on the ground.

Opening the lid of the box, there is a lizard mummy with all scales and claws inside. The lizard has a fleshy crown on top and its body is covered with bright red and yellow patterns. It is obvious at a glance that it must have been highly poisonous in life.

Old Bob opened his big mouth, revealing his incomplete black and yellow teeth. Under the surprised and disgusting eyes of the surrounding agents, he swallowed the lizard mummy into his mouth.
