Chapter 172 Playing Tricks on Him

As time went by, more and more boats stayed around the island, like a group of hyenas eyeing their prey, waiting for the first one to rush up and bite the prey, and then they would rush up and eat up the prey's flesh and blood.

Cai Qing's fishing boat seemed particularly small among the many ships that were eyeing it, but the anger and unwillingness in his heart were like a blazing flame, driving him unwilling to give up easily. He knew that relying on the power of his small force, it would undoubtedly be a dead end to rush into the island directly, and he had to outsmart it.

"We can't fight head-on, we have to find an opportunity and win with our brains."

Cai Qing said to his brothers with a gloomy face. He began to plan a more cunning plan, intending to use the complex environment around the island and the coming night as a cover to conduct a secret reconnaissance.

As night fell, a layer of light mist appeared on the sea, providing a natural cover for Cai Qing's plan. He once again selected several smart and capable brothers, and tried to sneak into the island again with light diving equipment. This thing is a rare item, and it is also the biggest advantage of Cai Qing's group.

This time, Cai Qing drove the fishing boat to the south bank of the island. This is the high point of the island, with cliffs everywhere, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It should be the weakest defense.

Cai Qing's eyes were burning, and he slowly surfaced. Above his head, a luxuriously decorated villa stood on the top of the mountain. The lights in the villa were brilliant, and it looked very impressive.

"Huh, it's really a big fish."

Cai Qing commanded his brothers to attach to the cliff to respond, and he took out a pair of strange gloves. The inside of the gloves was full of short and fine steel wires like fluff, just like a mutated Peter Parker.

"I didn't expect this thing to be useful here."

Cai Qing climbed up slowly and carefully, looking up and down from time to time, fearing that he would be discovered. Little did he know that Zhang Shi was using the panoramic map to observe his every move with interest. Since the ships appeared around the island, Zhang Shi has concentrated most of his troops on the front, and he did leave the villa on the south bank empty. However, the other party wanted to sneak into Yinping with such a small number of people, which was really too much of a disregard for him.

"Lao Bai, there is a guest behind, go and tease him."

As an all-round robot at the artifact level, Lao Bai is not only powerful in his ability to do things, but his combat power is also not to be underestimated. It is quite easy to deal with a few weaklings.

Lao Bai grasped the key point of Zhang Shi's words and decided to "tease" the invader.

The cliff looked not high from below, but in fact, there was a drop of several dozen meters. Cai Qing's physical attributes were average. After climbing for such a long time, he had to split himself to check the situation above to avoid being discovered by others. At this time, his physical strength had reached the limit. He was sweating and panting. Fortunately, he was about to reach the top. Cai Qing took a deep breath and climbed up quickly.

Suddenly, an old face appeared upside down in Cai Qing's sight. The other party stared at him with dull eyes. Even though Cai Qing had been in society for many years, he was frightened by this sudden accident and screamed.

Cai Qing shouted and remembered that this time he was sneaking in secretly. If he made too much noise, he would fail. He quickly reached out to cover his mouth, but he forgot that he was still in a state of climbing. When his hands loosened, his body was affected by gravity and fell straight down.

At the critical moment, the old man above reached out and grabbed him. Cai Qing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but was surprised to find that the old man was actually clinging to the rock wall like a spider, and one of his hands was holding him.

"Fuck, a monster!"

Lao Bai pretended to be serious and said to him in a hurried tone.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. If we alarm the people on the island, we will all die here."

Upon hearing this, Cai Qing quickly shut his mouth and clung to the cliff with both hands to firmly fix his body.

"Huh, it turns out that you are a fellow traveler. Thank you for saving my life. I don't know what your name is, brother."

Lao Bai suddenly had an idea and recalled Zhang Shi's style of doing things, and answered decisively.

"I am Chen Beipan!"

"It turns out to be Brother Chen. I am sorry for my disrespect."

Lao Bai turned around, with his face facing up, and climbed upwards on his own.

"This is not a place to talk. Follow me closely."

Cai Qing looked at Lao Bai's spider-like movements, and felt a little scared. In the end, he still followed with courage.

The two climbed carefully on the rugged cliff, one in front and one behind. Lao Bai deliberately slowed down so that Cai Qing could keep up, and at the same time secretly observed Cai Qing's reaction to ensure that he would not suddenly make any radical moves.

"Brother Chen, you are so skilled, I wonder which way you are a master?" Cai Qing asked tentatively while panting.

Lao Bai pretended to be mysterious and smiled slightly: "Haha, I am just a nobody, not as good as you sea heroes. However, since we have the same goal, why not work together?"

Cai Qing's heart moved, but his face remained calm: "Oh? I wonder what the goal is that Brother Chen is talking about?"

"Of course it's the treasure on the island."

Lao Bai spoke frankly, with a deliberately pretended greedy light flashing in his eyes, but he concealed his true intentions well.

Cai Qing looked puzzled. He had never heard of any treasure hidden on Zhang Shi's island. He immediately asked Lao Bai about it.

Seeing that his prey had taken the bait, Lao Bai pretended to be impatient and responded casually.

"Hmph, why do you think the people of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance want to attack this island so hard?"

Cai Qing thought to himself after hearing this: "It seems that this place really has a secret. If I can use it..."

Thinking of this, he put on a flattering smile on his face.

"Haha, since Brother Chen has such a refined taste, I am willing to go with him."

The two finally climbed to the top of the cliff. Lao Bai led Cai Qing around to a hidden place behind the villa. There were weeds here, and it was not easy to be noticed. Lao Bai whispered: "Let's rest here for a while and observe before taking action."

Cai Qing nodded in agreement, and the two found a hidden place to sit down. Lao Bai pretended to be alert, and from time to time he looked towards the villa, as if he was observing the enemy situation, but in fact he had already made up his mind.

As the night deepened, the lights in the villa gradually went out. Lao Bai saw the right time and winked at Cai Qing: "The time has come, let's act."

The two quietly approached the villa, using the cover of the night and the terrain to avoid the sight of the guards. With his superb skills, Lao Bai turned his back to Cai Qing and easily used the key to open the back door of the villa. The two of them entered the villa quietly, one in front and one behind.

The lights in the villa were dim, with only a few emergency lights flashing faintly. Lao Bai took Cai Qing through the corridor, avoiding the patrolling guards, and finally came to a room that looked like a study.

Lao Bai gently pushed open the door, and the two tiptoed in. The study was dimly lit, and it was surrounded by various books and documents, as well as some seemingly precious weapons and equipment. Cai Qing looked around greedily, and thought to himself: "I will definitely make a fortune this time."

But he didn't notice that there was a person standing in the shadow of the study, holding a kitchen knife and staring at him closely.
