Chapter 222

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just came to find Witch Mu Qiuxia. What does the map of Zizhu Forest have to do with me?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but immediately denied it.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be very vigilant. It's a pity that your performance betrayed yourself."

Fengyun sneered in his heart.

His eyesight was so good that even the slight changes in the middle-aged man's expression could not escape his eyes.

After hearing Fengyun's words, the alertness in the eyes of the middle-aged man became much lighter, and he became more relaxed.

That's enough to show he has a problem.

If it were the real reinforcements of the Baicao Tribe, seeing an unknown person appearing in the witch's house and mentioning the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest, they would definitely not behave like this.

Either attack him directly to capture him, or raise an alarm, gather people, surround him, capture him alive, or kill him at worst.

Now that the Baicao Tribe and its reinforcements are fighting against the Black Crow King, they should be very clear about the importance of the Purple Bamboo Forest.

It is no exaggeration to say that its existence is fundamentally tied to their fate.

If the map about the Purple Bamboo Forest was leaked out, and the Black Crow King got it, and knew the safe path to pass through, their side would definitely lose.

However, Fengyun did not expose the middle-aged man on the spot, but was going to continue teasing him, to see if it was possible to get some useful information from him.

So he deliberately pretended to be quite regretful, and said: "Since you don't admit your identity, then forget it, I was originally planning to share the credit with you for the sake of you and I working for the same team." Yes, now I have to have it all to myself."

As Fengyun said, he approached the window, as if he wanted to leave from the window.

At the same time, in order to make the performance more realistic, he has not given up his attention to the middle-aged man, and has also properly revealed his guard against him.

Now as long as you are not a fool. We all know how important the topographic map of the Zizhu Forest is to the Black Crow King, and if you can dedicate it to him, you will definitely be valued and rewarded by him.

Since both of them were able to turn their backs on their tribe and allies and work for the enemy. His character was not much better than he thought.

For two morally corrupt people, one of whom still holds an extremely valuable object, if the other person is not prepared for a sudden killer, it will be unjustifiable.

"Wait a minute."

Dang Fengyun's hand took the wooden bar that bolted the window. When he was about to open it, the middle-aged man finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"What's wrong?"

Fengyun showed a confused expression on purpose.

"Have you really got the map of Zizhu Forest?"

"You don't believe me? I'll show you the real thing."

Fengyun took out an animal skin from his close-fitting pocket, shook it, and put it back into his bosom.

"This... is this the map of the Purple Bamboo Forest?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man moved with the map, seeing that he put it back in his arms so quickly, he couldn't help showing a regretful expression.

"I don't believe you are not fooled."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Fengyun's eyes.

What he took out was indeed a map, but it had nothing to do with the Purple Bamboo Forest. It was the topographic map of Lei Ze that the witch gave him before he left the Flame Snake Tribe.

"What do you say?"

Fengyun twitched the latch, and said, "I'm going to take a step first. Be careful. Don't reveal any openings, or your life will be in danger."

"Wait a minute, please. I have a question for you."

"What's the question? Ask quickly. If Mu Qiuxia comes back, both of us will die."

"Why are you willing to share such a credit with me?"

While speaking, the eyes of the middle-aged man were full of confusion.

He really couldn't understand, what a great credit it was to get the map of Zizhu Forest, why did he share it with others, and it was a stranger.

The map of the Purple Bamboo Forest is indeed very important to the Black Crow King. Dedicating it to him can get a lot of benefits, but no one would think that the benefits are too much.

"So that's what you wanted to ask. The reason is very simple. I did it for myself."

"how to say?"

"We are now inside the enemy, and if we are not careful, we will reveal our flaws. In the current situation, they will probably not look for so much evidence. They will directly attack us, and would rather kill us by mistake. Will let it go."

"It's really dangerous. I'm worried all the time, and I dare not relax in the slightest."

The middle-aged man showed a sympathetic expression, and his guard relaxed a little.

"However, it will be different if we can unite. We cooperate with each other and cover each other to minimize the risk of our exposure. No matter how bad it is, if we are discovered, we can also escape together. There are more people and more strength. Heaven’s grasp will be much greater.”

"From what you mean, do you still want to share the credit for finding the Zizhu Forest map with more people?"

"Yes. You and I both understand that we will serve that person. Except that he is powerful and we cannot resist, why don't we want to get the benefits he gives. In this case, I want to get help from others and not give them Good, okay? Don't you think so?"

"You... what you said does have some truth."

There was a slight embarrassment on the middle-aged man's face, but he finally agreed with what Fengyun said, and his guard became less guarded.

"It seems that we are one step closer to success."

Fengyun knew that the middle-aged man had gradually begun to trust him.

He decided to make persistent efforts to gain the trust of the other party earlier and achieve his goal.

"I'll tell you the truth. I'm willing to share this credit with everyone. In fact, I have another purpose."

"What purpose?"

"Alliance. I want to form an alliance with everyone. You and I have long-term plans. This time, if that person wins, he will be Lei Ze's real overlord. At that time, many people will definitely come to him. If we don't form a group, will be ostracized by them.”

"Besides them, that person already has various forces under his command. We are outsiders and we are not allied. We cannot compete with them at all."

"Once we lose our place in that person's mind, not only will it be more difficult to obtain benefits, but even our lives will be seriously threatened."

"So what do you say?"

The middle-aged man became nervous.

"Think about it. We take refuge in that person, we take refuge in the strong, and we have no conscience, but others don't think so. They will regard us as the culprit of their defeat, and will hate us more than that person .”

"Once we lose that person's protection, we will inevitably suffer their revenge. Will our situation become very dangerous?"

In order to increase the authenticity of the performance, Fengyun shrank his neck slightly, looking frightened.

"It won't be so serious. After that person wins, they will definitely be wiped out. They can't escape."

"I'm afraid you don't believe this. That man is powerful, but Lei Ze is so big, can he search every corner? Even if they can, what if they escape outside Lei Ze? Those places are not His territory."

"Tell me. What should I do? I will cooperate with you."

The middle-aged man lowered his raised hand, but he didn't put away the knife in his hand.

"I'm going to ask you to gather everyone together and share with me the credit for finding the Zizhu Forest map."

"Why did you ask me to call everyone? You wouldn't..."

Hearing Fengyun's request, the middle-aged man showed a look of wariness again.

"Do you suspect that I'm defrauding you? You're overthinking. I asked you to do this for your own sake. You come forward to call everyone. When someone comes, I will say that I want to share the credit with everyone." It was you who brought it up first, so everyone's opinion of you will inevitably be different."

"I'm helping you. How could you be so ungrateful and still doubt me? All right. I'll call everyone myself."

An angry look appeared on Fengyun's face, he pushed open the window and was about to jump out.

"Wait a minute. I was wrong, this time I was wrong. I apologize."

The middle-aged man hastily called Fengyun to a stop.

"Do you believe what I say is true?"

"I believe it, I believe it all. Well, you'd better plug in the window. Let's leave the door, so as not to leave a gap, and it would be bad if that cunning old woman Mu Qiuxia found out."

"I didn't expect you to be very careful. I didn't misunderstand you."

Feng Yun lowered the window, reinserted it with the plug, and walked directly towards the door.

The middle-aged man left and stepped aside, making way for him.

Fengyun didn't step over the threshold immediately, but poked his head out first, and looked around.

During this process, the eyes of the middle-aged man kept moving on his back and neck, with a faint murderous intent in his eyes, and the hand holding the short knife turned white because of the excessive strength.

Obviously, he had murderous intent towards Fengyun, and wanted to kill him and take the so-called Zizhu Forest Map as his own, but I don't know if he considered that killing Fengyun here would leave bloodstains and cause the witch Vigilance, and finally gave up.

After a while, Fengyun retracted his protruding head, turned to the middle-aged man and said, "There is no one outside, we can leave now."

The expression looked very natural, as if he didn't know that the other party had ever wanted to kill him.

In fact, he knew it.

The distance between them was so close, with his keen sense of hearing and perception, even if he didn't look back, he could still deduce what he wanted to do through some collected information.

"Then let's go quickly. That old woman Mu Qiuxia is very difficult to deal with. Once she finds out, there will be big trouble."

"What are you waiting for."

Fengyun stepped over the threshold, without a corridor, and jumped directly from downstairs to below.

The middle-aged man hastily closed the door, wanting to follow Fengyun's example, but hesitated for a while, and decided to take the stairs.

Fengyun jumped to the ground, not to mention making a sound, not even blowing up much dust.

This is his warning to the middle-aged man in disguise, don't move any crooked thoughts, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. (To be continued.)
