Chapter 373: Prepare for Liquidation
The exploration team was forced to pass the second camping point and go to the next camping point with everyone exhausted and some injured.
The atmosphere is very bad.
Although everyone in the team is aware that everyone has their own thoughts, the existence of an insider who directly threatens the life and safety of the entire team is still a bit too much and touches everyone's sensitive nerves.
Even if two traitors were exposed this time, how can we prove that this is all? Are there more time bombs hidden deeper in the team?
After walking for a while, the atmosphere, which was not harmonious to begin with, became even more tense.
Xiuman took this opportunity to silently read everyone's overflowing emotions.
A large amount of ice appeared in the surrounding mountains and fields. Soon, a vast forest of ice towers appeared in front of the team. The glaciers on the high mountains stood up, creating this natural wonder.
But this kind of scenery could not ease everyone's mood.
In silence, they found a suitable location to set up camp near the ice tower forest, obtaining the third temporary camping point.
It was also the last stable place suitable for camping during the previous exploration team's journey. From then on, the experience of predecessors was only of reference value.
On the vast mountain behind the ice tower forest, the remains of buildings can be vaguely seen. They are the remains of the Lebanese dynasty.
After setting up camp, everyone chose to rest in the camp, looking at each other.
Xiuman took this opportunity to re-compare the information of everyone present.
After he finished the comparison, Rafafar asked Shuman about Case.
The person Keith replaced was a representative of a country from the eastern part of the Dream Realm. It was not a big country, but its economic strength was pretty good. It had many dealings with the Sanctuary, so it was able to get involved in this operation.
It’s a pity that this representative was murdered.
There is no definite time when he will be replaced. The concealed transformation ability obtained by Keith's animal manifestation is quite advanced, and he needs to be vigilant about this in future actions. It is an exaggeration to say that he may still have a chance to get back.
After a while, Handilon descended from the sky carrying Anti, and came back after a round of inspection in the sky.
Everyone looked at Handilon with strange expressions.
Although it was later known that the initial bombing was a smoke bomb by Anti and Xiuman, if the dragon's spatial power really hit the target, it would be difficult for the believers to withstand it.
However, they dared not complain about it.
In the melee, everyone witnessed the strength of Anti and Xiuman. No matter if there are traitors in the team, they don't even dare to complain now.
"There's no problem around here." Anti said as he got off Handilon.
After Xiuman nodded, he looked at Handilon who was standing on the ground and said, "I just felt something was nearby not long after we set out. It turned out to be you. Do you remember me?"
Handilon glanced at Xiuman and shook his head.
"Well, you were just born at that time, and we only met once. It really values you and directly gave you a symbol." Xiuman narrowed his eyes.
Handilon looked at Xiuman for a while and then looked away.
Without getting any response, Xiuman could only look at Anti and said, "The Heaven and Earth Hand believer is a representative from the Abel Kingdom in the northern part of the Mixed Dream Realm, Kudo. Now based on his performance and inferring the information, he probably didn't replace him midway, but hid his identity from the beginning."
"Doesn't the Sanctuary conduct a thorough check on the members' backgrounds before forming an exploration team?" An asked after hearing this.
"The situation in the Dream Realm is very complicated. We can only ask the other party to provide information voluntarily and conduct some superficial verification. If we go too deep, people may be alerted." Xiuman shrugged and then said, "I don't know whether the Abel Kingdom knows his identity."
In any case, the exposure of Kudo's identity has implicated a lot of things.
If the Kingdom of Abel knew about this, it would only mean that the entire country was completely implicated in the belief in the Heaven and Earth Hand.
If they don't know, then the situation is a little better, but only to a limited extent, because if they can interfere with the selection of the representatives of the exploration team and their background information, it also means that the believers of the Heaven and Earth Hand have been hidden very deeply in the kingdom, and have even held high positions.
But these things happened after we left Tianding Mountain.
After thinking for a while, Anti asked, "After this incident, should the exploration end?"
Now I have every reason to run away, as the presence of a traitor is a serious matter.
"We haven't discussed it yet. We're planning to wait for you to come back before making a decision together." Xiuman shook his head.
Seeing this, Anti said directly: "Please help me vote in favor, and then I will apply to leave the team alone."
After helping the sanctuary stabilize the situation, he planned to look for the believers of the Hand of Heaven and Earth and the orcs.
Eliminate hidden dangers, no matter what their purpose is, they want to run away after beating Anti? It doesn't make sense.
"Me too. The traitors in the sacrificial tower have joined forces with the orcs. This is a huge dereliction of duty on our part. I need to seek redress for my predecessors." Rafafar also stood up, his sense of mission surging.
Xiuman could only sigh and wave his hand: "I knew you would be like this, go ahead. Be safe, the team should rest here for a while. Don't worry if you don't see us when you come back, I will leave you a message."
Rafafar nodded in thanks.
Anti stretched out his hand: "Give me some candy." Xiuman rolled his eyes at Anti, took out a small bag and handed it to Anti: "I don't know what flavor you like, I just grabbed it randomly."
Anti ignored him and turned to look at Rafafar: "Find the orcs first."
Part of the attention of the Tiandi Hand believers is on Anti. In any case, the unclear relationship between Anti and Tiandi Hand seems to make this group of believers quite upset.
So maybe if we leave them alone they will come back on their own, so Anti went to find the orcs who had a clearer target.
And more importantly, the orcs have established contact with the corpse-eating demons on Mount Zenith.
Well, Anti hasn't kicked the Ghoul's butt enough.
Unfortunately, because Handilon didn't want anyone else to get on its back, Anti and Rafafar had to walk on their own feet.
After saying goodbye to Xiuman, the two began to trek, and Handilon hid his figure and followed behind them.
Anti took out a candy and put it in his mouth.
Tsk, it tastes like cantaloupe again.
Xiuman didn't know what flavors Anti liked, but he seemed to know what flavors he didn't like.
……
The orc team that came to pick up Keith arrived at a camp in a cave under a forest of ice towers.
In this well-connected camp, many orcs are either resting or on guard.
The return of this team broke the tranquility here.
"How is it?" The lion-headed orc Angmo looked at them and asked. At this time, the injuries he suffered from Anti had basically healed.
An orc in the team shook his head and told everything that happened when he was picking up Keith.
"That human is indeed unfathomable..." Angmo's eyes were deep, and then he stood up directly from the ground, "Then we should not stay here for long, go find the corpse-eating demon, and head directly to the final destination."
Keith opened his mouth nearby.
Angmo looked at him and said, "Although you didn't bring much important information, you have done a good job this time. Please follow us. But if you are still obsessed with your current appearance, you will never be able to integrate with us."
It has said this to Keith many times, but how could someone with Keith's complicated mind who betrayed the sacrificial tower make a decision so easily?
"I don't need you to accept me. As we agreed before, as long as you can help me stabilize my animal nature, that's enough." Keith said.
Ang Mo did not respond and turned around to mobilize.
"Hmph." An orc next to him snorted coldly at Keith, full of disdain.
Keith lowered his head, his expression unclear in the dim cave.
Suddenly, there was a collision sound outside the cave.
The orcs were alarmed and came out of the cave with Angmo as their leader.
A group of zombies surrounded one side of the cave at some point. The elite warriors among the zombies, holding bone weapons made from the corpses of their companions, clashed with a group of orcs guarding the cave.
"Kavo, Fente, come back." Angmo shouted.
The two orcs who led the guard team, one was extremely strong, and the other was thin, with his body hidden under rags. After hearing the leader's order, the two of them considered it for a while and decided to retreat.
"These things want to eat us, Angmo, you better be careful." The thin orc said to Angmo coldly.
Ang Mo frowned slightly.
Ghouls are not an easy race to get along with; their habits frighten all living things.
The leading corpse demon gestured to Angmo.
The vocal organs of the Ghouls do not allow them to speak, so they communicate with each other through gestures and calls. This is actually very efficient for the Ghouls themselves, but it is very difficult to communicate with others.
When they see moving life, they want to eat it. The more lively and active the powerful life is, the more greedy it makes the corpse-eating demons. This is the instinct of this race, and this is why they mainly targeted the dragon clan in the first place.
After the dragons left the stage, they set their sights on the orcs.
The corpse-eating demons and even their king were defeated by the former beastmen.
However, in order to achieve his goal, Angmo now has to seek help from the zombies who have been hiding and surviving in Tianding Mountain for a long time.
It chose to endure, and as long as the remains of the Sky City were found, it would wipe out all the descendants of this vicious and barbaric race.
