Chapter 817: 817
It was getting dark . Although it was unwise to rush forward in such conditions, the mission was urgent . They only briefly stopped to rest before continuing onward . They had to find the intruders as soon as possible .

Meanwhile, the people they were seeking were confused that their traps had not worked .
“Not one of them is dead? What is going on?” a man asked .
“Are you sure?” the white man leading the group asked .
“I am sure,” the man said . “There must be a tough character on their team . ”
“Could it be possible that the army troops have arrived?” another man asked .
“Troops? No way!” the first man replied .
“Let’s hurry up,” the leader worriedly said . “If it is really them, there’s going to be trouble . ”
As Wang Yao walked, he recognized many of the plants around him . Their relevant information constantly appeared in his mind .
This one can be used as medicine . This one is slightly poisonous . This one is highly poisonous…
It was indeed more dangerous to continue the journey at night . Along the way, they had triggered several traps . A soldier was shot in his arm by a hidden weapon, which was poisonous . Fortunately, Wang Yao was there and treated the wound in time . After he had detoxified it, the soldier wasn’t in danger . The injury did not affect his mobility . Only his combat effectiveness was affected .
Boom! There was a sudden explosion .
“Huh, what was that?” Wang Yao asked .
“There is fighting ahead,” Su Zhixing said . “Let’s speed up . ”
“Shall I go ahead?” Wang Yao asked .
“Huh?” Su Zhixing was stunned .
“Trust me . ” Wang Yao took the initiative to walk in front of the team . His speed was much faster . He soon found a trap “There’s a trap! Walk around!”

They continued walking and discovered another mine . Wang Yao stopped . There was a man collapsed on the ground .
“Is he dead?” a soldier asked .
“He is dead,” Wang Yao said .
Upon closer inspection, they discovered the man was a soldier . A dagger had been plunged into his eye socket .
“There are two groups,” Su Zhixing said .
Gunshots suddenly sounded .
“Prepare to engage in combat!” Su Zhixing yelled .
They soon found another body . The man’s attire indicated that he was not a trained soldier . He was dressed in a special homespun cloth that had a special smell .
“What is the smell?” Su Zhixing asked .
“It is the smell of medicine,” Wang Yao said . “It keeps them from being attacked by snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the jungle . ”
This man was carrying a bow and arrow, as well as a short knife shaped like a seedling . It was about two feet long and extremely sharp .
“Who are these people?” Su Zhixing murmured in disbelief .
They hadn’t met this group of people when they were fighting with the invading armed on previous missions .
“Could they be the guardians of this jungle?” Wang Yao asked .
“Guardians? How come they didn’t show up the last few times then? Didn’t they get the news?” a soldier asked .
“Well, I don’t think that can be ruled out,” Su Zhixing replied . “Let’s go . No matter who they are, be careful . ”

It was already very dark . Two waves of people were fighting in the jungle .
“These foreigners dare to come here and find trouble,” a man said . “Keep them here for me!”
“Be careful,” another man said . “Two good fighters have already been killed . Release the insects!”
Buzz! Numerous insects were unleashed and buzzed around the jungle .
In the dark, a man used a flame thrower to set the trees ablaze . In this kind of jungle, once it started burning, it could cause a very big fire that would be difficult to control and put out . No one could estimate how much loss it would cause .
“What is happening?” Su Zhixing stopped and looked up at the sky .
In the dark of the night, fire shot toward the sky .
“We don’t have time to deal with that,” Su Zhixing said . “That’s the direction . Everyone be ready to engage in battle at any time . ”
There was still some distance from their present position and where the fire was blazing .
“We should take the nearest route,” Wang Yao said .
“The nearest?” Su Zhixing asked .
“The line segment is the shortest between two points,” Wang Yao replied .
“Wow, you’re even talking about mathematical theorems now,” Su Zhixing said . “Let’s go . ”
Wang Yao cleared the road in front of them . At this time, he didn’t have time for many considerations . He released his Qi to communicate with his surroundings . He seemed to have countless eyes . He looked all around, even taking in how the wind was blowing and the grass was moving . The birds, animals, snakes, and insects were all seen by him . He saw everything clearly . He could eliminate any movement or danger at the front . Their journey forward was extremely speedy .
A scream suddenly rang out .
“Damn, I’m poisoned!” a man yelled .

“Withdraw!” the leader called out .
“What?” The other man was shocked .
“I said to withdraw,” the leader said . “These are rare local people who are very good with poisonous insects, and this is their territory . They’re more familiar with it than us . We don’t have any advantages here . If we go on like this, we will all die here . ”
In the darkness came a voice that was like a ghost . “You can no longer leave!”
“Who is there!?” the leader asked .
Whoosh!
The leader covered his stomach . With his other hand, he shot his gun toward the voice .
A figure suddenly appeared behind him . “Too slow!”
The figure’s hands reached out . With a crack, blood spewed three feet high . The leader’s head had been torn off . The scene was extremely terrifying .
The man left was trembling, obviously scared out of his wits . “Who are you?”
“I was wondering how they were able to enter so smoothly,” the shadow said . His voice was a little hoarse . “It turns out there’s a traitor . We can deal with our internal affairs in any way . Even if we have to fight to the death, I’d accept it even if I lost and died . But to collude with outsiders to try to steal the treasures, that is treason with the enemy . You are a traitor and deserve to die a hundred times over!”
“No, no, no…” The only man left seemed to have thought of something terrible . He was still trembling as he ran into the jungle without looking back .
“Running away?” In a flash, the shadow disappeared and appeared behind the man trying to escape . The man had only made it about 30 feet . “Since you have stayed there before, you know their rules . ”
“I was wrong,” the man begged . “I was wrong . Please give me another chance!”
“Four of us have died and a large area of the jungle has been destroyed, yet you want me to give you a chance,” the shadow said . “Do you think that is possible?”
“I…”
The shadow pinched the man’s mouth open and forced something into it before releasing him .
“No, no, no…” The man struggled, trying to dig out the thing that was in his mouth .
He suddenly held his abdomen and fell to the ground loudly howling . He trembled as he took out his gun and pointed it at his forehead . He wanted to pull the trigger but found that his body was not under his control . Suddenly, his fingers had turned so stiff that he could not bend them . With a click, the pistol fell from his hands into the grass .
“Ah!”
The cry of pain sounded especially harsh and insidious in the middle of the night .
Su Zhixing and his team stopped when they heard the cry . He said, “That sounds painful . ”
“It’s not far away,” Wang Yao said .
“We need to be careful,” Su Zhixing said . “I don’t think you should take the lead anymore . ”
“It will be fine,” Wang Yao said . “Let me do it . Let’s go . ”
If he were to be replaced with another soldier, their progress would be slower . If he did not have others with him, he would have arrived at that location in an instant . He might have been able to catch someone alive and interrogate them .
It was not long before they came to the place where the battle had just happened . They saw bodies on the ground . Four armed soldiers were collapsed in different positions . They had died in different ways . One was shot with poisoned arrows, and another had been split apart . One of the men was still alive . His face was bloody and mangled . They could see insects weaving through the sinews and muscles on his face, constantly nibbling at his body .
The man wanted to make a sound and say something, but his throat had already been mostly eaten by the insects .
“What is this?” Su Zhixing shivered all over when he saw it .
“It is the poisonous insect . Stay back,” Wang Yao said .
He was not afraid of the insect, but these soldiers would not be able to handle them . Once they got infected, they would suffer greatly .
