After climbing the steep slope, you'll see the two paths leading into the mountains, which go in two different directions.

After discussing it, Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe decided to split up and go their separate ways. Before leaving, Cheng Ying gave Yu Jianshe a communicator and an aerial reconnaissance aircraft.

Cheng Ying said, "With this communicator, you can make contact within a thousand miles. In an emergency, if it's inconvenient to answer, you can switch it to vibrate."

This reconnaissance aircraft can take to the skies, allowing it to conduct long-range reconnaissance to help choose the best route and to gather advance intelligence on distant terrain.

Cheng Ying taught Yu Jianshe all the functions. Yu Jianshe was very interested in the communicator and the aerial reconnaissance aircraft, and he was also very happy that Cheng Ying had given him such a good thing!

This also indirectly shows Cheng Ying's concern for him! If Cheng Ying knew what he was thinking, she would tell him that he was overthinking it; she simply thought those two things would be useful.

Soon, Yu Jianshe and his team learned how to use the aerial reconnaissance aircraft, and Yu Jianshe was particularly adept at it, as if he was born with the skill, which made Cheng Ying even more suspicious of his identity.

After the two teams said goodbye, they each embarked on their chosen paths. Cheng Ying also took out an aerial reconnaissance drone and a communicator and handed them to one of her team members.

Cheng Ying taught him the function and asked him to lead two people ahead to scout the situation.

Cheng Ying led the remaining people slowly along the path. The mountain forest was eerily quiet, with only the rustling sound of fallen leaves underfoot.

Suddenly, the team member in charge of reconnaissance ahead sent a message through the communicator: "Captain, there seems to be an abandoned house ahead, but it looks a bit eerie. Should we go in and check it out?"

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Ying replied, "Please observe the surroundings for any unusual activity. We'll be there shortly."

When Cheng Ying and the others arrived, they felt that the house exuded an old and decaying atmosphere.

The gate was tightly closed, and vines climbed all over the mottled walls.

She gestured to her team members to carefully push open the door, and the hinges made a jarring creaking sound.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, but there was a strange stone path in the middle that looked like someone often walked on it.

Just then, a cold wind blew in from somewhere, ruffling the corners of everyone's clothes.

A sense of unease welled up in Cheng Ying's heart. Just as she was about to remind everyone to be careful, a faint cry for help suddenly came from inside the house.

Everyone immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly. Cheng Ying whispered, "Prepare for battle. Come with me inside and take a look."

Cheng Ying led her team members cautiously toward the source of the sound.

Upon entering the house, only some old and shabby furniture could be seen scattered haphazardly in the dim light.

The cries for help were intermittent, seemingly coming from the basement. They found the entrance to the basement and slowly descended the narrow stairs.

The basement was filled with a pungent smell, and a ragged person was huddled in a corner.

Cheng Ying approached and asked, and the man raised his head in terror, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost here!" Before he finished speaking, the door behind him slammed shut.

When I turned my head again, the ragged man was gone.

As the team members panicked, a ghostly green light suddenly shone on the wall, creating a series of eerie images that intensified their fear.

Just then, Cheng Ying noticed a green bead-like object on one side of the wall. Upon closer inspection, she realized that someone had deliberately placed the bead there, and it was all a trap set by the enemy.

Cheng Ying quickly pried off the green bead-like object, and the eerie image immediately disappeared.

Cheng Ying played with the green bead, trying to see something special inside. She discovered that as long as outside light shone on it, it would project some strange images. It was a very interesting thing.

She put the green beads away, making the room even darker, but also eliminating the eerie feeling.

It turns out that this abandoned house had been transformed into a secret stronghold by enemy forces, who wanted to use this kind of supernatural trick to scare them and instill fear in them.

It's so intimidating that people don't dare approach this place, and if someone accidentally wanders in, they'll quickly leave in fear.

Cheng Ying calmed down and directed her team to find the exit. The ragged man from earlier was probably also in disguise. It seemed they might have notified the bandits on the mountain, letting them know that someone had entered the mountain.

In that case, they would move from the shadows into the open and become easy targets for the enemy. They would be like bandits who have ruled this place for a long time and don't want outsiders to enter.

If someone accidentally wanders in here, they will quickly take a series of measures, and it seems that when they come out, they will be met with a fierce battle.

However, after some investigation, they still couldn't find a way out, and the dark room made it difficult to find any clues to get out.

Cheng Ying took a candle out of her backpack, lit it, and handed it to a team member. Immediately, the dark room was no longer so dark.
