The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Inside the cave, the mercenaries were still speculating one after another about what had happened to Lian Yunchen.

"Okay, stop talking and get to work!" the leader spoke again.

"Boss, are you too nervous? You don't really think that any of this year's kids can get through us, do you?"

"Yeah, every time in the past, everyone would be 'killed' at the fifth level!"

"Hahaha...hahaha...yes, boss! Don't be so jumpy. Here, just arrange two people to guard the entrance of the cave." The man who spoke raised his chin towards the cave entrance.

Others also felt that what the man said made sense. Although no one said anything, the meaning was very clear.

The leader thought about it and nodded, thinking that what they said made sense.

Although he had noticed something slightly unusual in the jungle when he was outside the cave just now, he ignored it because everyone was cheering for him. He also felt that he had made a big deal out of nothing this time.

Then, he signaled Shi Yu to arrange four people to take turns guarding the cave entrance.

In this way, Jing Yueli and the others were successfully able to take action.

Jing Yueli took advantage of the space and searched the entire cave, but did not find the fifth task token.

"This is strange. Logically, the fifth token should be hidden in this cave." Jing Yueli murmured to himself, stroking his chin with his fingers as he began to think.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue wafted from the cave.

"Boss, this time you have to take out the good wine you have been hiding." Shi Yu said to the mercenary leader with a look of "what do you know about me?"

Jing Yueli was also pulled back to her senses at this time and looked outside the space.

"Oh, these guys really know how to enjoy themselves! They are so sure that they can defend the fifth level." Jing Yueli couldn't help but secretly complain.

Jing Yueli didn't believe it and moved around in the cave again. She searched almost every inch of the cave, but there was still no sign of the token.

"It seems that the only way is to lure the snake out of the cave!" Jing Yueli thought, and prepared to leave the cave.

At this moment, someone in the cave exclaimed, "Who are you?"

"Huh?" Was she discovered? This shouldn't be the case.

No, that person said "you guys", not "you".

Jing Yueli stopped and looked out through the space. "Oh, my goodness, how did these two ancestors get in?"

Jing Yueli was speechless and looked up at the sky. These two kids were so bold that they just appeared in the cave so openly.

The person involved had no idea that he had been discovered. Li Yu was still asking Li Luo beside him, "Did they see us?" As he spoke, he was still looking at the mercenaries on the opposite side to see if they were really discovered, and waved to the mercenaries.

It's no wonder Jing Yueli held her forehead with her hand. They usually looked quite steady. How could they be so...

"Heh..." Several mercenaries who were facing the two of them chuckled.

He quickly finished the food in his hand, threw the bones into the fire, and then prepared to get up and walk towards Li Yu and the others.

Jing Yueli thought to herself that something was wrong, and immediately found a hidden corner to get out of the space. In a blink of an eye, she came to Li Yu and the other person, and pulled them away, "Run!"

Li Yu was startled by the shout and finally came to his senses. This was the voice of their master. His feet were faster than his brain and he instantly used the starting method, following Jing Yueli out of the cave as if running for his life.

They did not flee towards where the team was, but in the opposite direction. They could not bring the danger back.

“What’s going on? I thought we could finally start work? But it turned out to be like this…” One person raised his eyebrows and pointed in the direction of the cave entrance and said jokingly.

"Those three people just ran so fast! I didn't even have time to react!"

"Boss, what did I say? Look at me, hahaha..."

There was constant laughter in the cave.

If Jing Yueli knew what was happening in the cave, she would probably vomit to death. It was truly a huge stain in her life. She, Jing Yueli, had never been so cowardly before.

Although her life motto is to run away if you can't win, this time it was too ridiculous, a complete Waterloo.

After running for a full half a minute, Jing Yueli and the others stopped when they didn't feel anyone chasing them.

Li Yu and Li Luo are now extremely embarrassed. They agreed to protect Jing Yueli, but ended up being the ones who held them back.

The two of them just stood in front of Jing Yueli with their heads down and no words said.

Finally, Jing Yueli spoke up, but she sounded unhappily.

"Are you guys capable? What did I tell you before I left?" Jing Yueli looked at Li Luo. She was sure that this idea must have been his. Li Yu didn't dare to do the same.

Jing Yueli really guessed wrong. This time it was Li Yu, who usually kept quiet, who instigated it. In fact, it can be seen from the last Five Nations Competition that this girl has a rebellious heart under her steady appearance.

But Jing Yueli didn't understand. Although Li Yu and Li Xue were always by her side, Li Xue was more lively and often acted funny in front of Jing Yueli, so she would inevitably neglect Li Yu.

Li Luo felt that Jing Yueli's eyes were fixed on him, making his scalp tingle.

"How come you suddenly appeared in the cave? I was hiding in the dark, so why didn't I see you?" This was what Jing Yueli didn't understand.

"It's...it's the invisibility talisman that you gave me, master!" Li Yu felt that he couldn't let the master's artillery fire on Li Luo alone, so he spoke weakly.

"What?!" Jing Yueli was a little confused, as if she had just remembered this.

"Invisibility charm?"

"Haha..." After all this time, it turned out that it was a landmine that I had buried myself.

She said that she searched the entire cave twice but didn't see their figures. When she was about to leave the cave, they suddenly appeared. If Jing Yueli didn't know their loyalty, she would have thought that the two were sent by the other party to trick her.

It was also her fault for forgetting to tell them that the invisibility talisman had a time limit.

Fortunately, this kind of thing was discovered early, otherwise if they encountered it during the next mission, they would be exposed directly.

"The invisibility talisman I gave you can only last for one hour!" Jing Yueli still revealed the truth. Even if she died, she would let them die with a clear conscience.

"I told you so. When we entered the cave, the mercenaries couldn't see us. So..." Li Luo didn't say anything else. He just glanced at Jing Yueli. The meaning was self-evident! Even if we were wrong, you are still the culprit.

"Haha..haha...", now he has become so powerful, he has learned how to pass the buck! Jing Yueli was so angry at him that she laughed out loud.
