Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The mercenaries lost three men and also killed several crocodiles.

It wasn't until those mercenaries disappeared from sight that Chen Zhao and others appeared.

"That Kendis shouldn't be alive, he should be dead." Qiaoxico muttered to himself.

She didn't understand and couldn't accept it.

"Why do you want to be so pretentious? If you follow Zuo, you will know why."

Everyone followed the mercenary team in front.

Everyone was very careful and kept a good distance to ensure that they would not be discovered.

Qiao Xike estimated the opponent's strength, and the opponent was considered an elite.

If it were Qiao Xike and her comrades, they might not have a chance of winning against these people.

Not to mention the opponent's numerical advantage.

"Come and have a drink." Chen Zhao threw a can of beer to Qiao Xike.

But the beer can suddenly burst in mid-air.

Then the mercenaries came out from all sides, all pointing guns at the five people.

Chen Zhao immediately raised his hands. Moyde, Moore and Qiao Lin Nash saw Chen Zhao's actions and could only raise their hands accordingly.

When Qiao Xike saw that Chen Zhao and others had surrendered, he could only raise his hands in disappointment.

This also made her full of disappointment in Chen Zhao.

Originally she thought Chen Zhao could turn the tide.

As a result, Chen Zhao's performance surprised her.

Chen Zhao didn't even resist and simply raised his hands to surrender.

"Gentlemen, tell me, who are you?" The leader of the mercenary group looked at everyone.

The outfits of these people look very strange.

They don't look like they're on a jungle adventure, more like they're on an island vacation.

Except for Qiao Xike, he didn't feel any danger in anyone else.

"We are tourists, we are here to explore, and this is our guide." Chen Zhao said quickly.

"Then why are you following us? Don't say no." The leader of the mercenary group snorted coldly.

"We were lost. We wanted to find a way out. We thought we could find a way out by following you." Chen Zhao explained.

"Then why are you so secretive? Why don't you just come out?" The leader of the mercenary group actually believed Chen Zhao's words.

Mainly because this group of people were dressed so casually.

"You all hold guns. Outside in the East, except for police and gangsters, no one else will hold a gun. You are definitely not the police."

"Ha ha……"

All the mercenaries laughed.

Chen Zhao also smiled in agreement.

Only Josico didn't smile. She kept looking at Kendis.

Kendis stood at the back of the mercenary group.

He also saw Qiao Xi Ke and recognized Qiao Xi Ke's identity.

But he didn't seem to intend to expose it in public.

Chen Zhao's seemingly poor performance seemed to have an effect.

Qiao Xike's eyes flickered, and Chen Zhao pretended to be crazy, which seemed to be able to temporarily save their lives, but it also cost them the chance to rescue their companions.

"Mr. Kendis, what should we do with these people?" The leader of the mercenary group turned around and asked.

"In order to ensure that they don't leak the secrets here, of course we have to take them with us," Kendis said.

"Wouldn't it be better to kill them?"

"If you think this is better, then go ahead."

Qiao Xike suddenly became nervous.

Chen Zhao's cheeks twitched.

"Don't kill me, I'm rich... I can give you money, a lot of money."

Suddenly, the leader of the mercenary group burst out laughing: "Haha... Of course I'm joking, I'm trying to scare you. We have only one purpose, and that is to find the treasure. We are not butchers. After this, you will be free." , but before that, you'd better follow the people outside honestly, so that we can ensure your safety... By the way, how much money can you give me?"

"How about... ten thousand dollars...?"

"Are you taking me for a fool?"

"Ten thousand dollars is a lot."

"If that's all you can afford, you're going to die in the Amazon rainforest, I can guarantee you that."

"One hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars." Chen Zhao said painfully.

"Okay... one person is worth one hundred thousand dollars, and the five of you are half a million dollars."

"They have nothing to do with me...I will not pay a ransom for them."

"You have to give it even if you don't, or I will kill you now." The leader of the mercenary group put the muzzle of his gun against Chen Zhao's head and said viciously.

Qiao Xike was completely disappointed with Chen Zhao. This man was not only weak, but also stingy.

I really don’t understand why Kaos admires this man so much.

Afterwards, these mercenaries brought Chen Zhao, Qiao Xike, Moore, Moed and Qiao Lin Nash with them.

They did not deliberately guard Chen Zhao and others.

Because they believe that even if they escape without authorization, they will not be able to survive here.

There is no way to get out of the tropical rainforest alive.

You know this is the most dangerous place in the world.

Humans have not yet been able to fully explore this place.

At noon, the team stopped for a short rest.

"President, you just went too far. You are actually unwilling to pay our ransom." Jolene Nash said teasingly.

"Tch—I won't pay you any remuneration."

Qiao Xi Ke found that Moore, Moyde and Jolene Nash did not seem to blame Chen Zhao at all.

Several people were still talking and laughing.

After this short rest, the team continued on their way.

The team moved forward very quickly, and by that night, they had reached the area that Kaos and the others had taken them two days to reach.

At the same time, the mercenary group also discovered the magnetic field interference here.

But they seemed to have discovered a long time ago that there was magnetic field interference here.

Instead of being disappointed, they were even more excited.

"We are one step closer to the treasure." The leader of the mercenary group said excitedly.

But just as he was leaving, a wood thatch shot out from the shadows.

"Enemy attack...fight, prepare to fight."

Just like the first time Josico encountered cannibals, dozens of cannibal natives attacked this time.

But what was different from last time was that this time after half of them died, they all ran away.

"Hurry up, don't let them escape." Kendis shouted.

The mercenaries also knew that if these cannibal natives were allowed to escape, their plan to sneak in quietly would fail.

Although this cannibal tribe is very primitive, there are many of them.

If they were prepared, or if all the cannibals came out, the mercenary group would be in great trouble.

But after chasing for more than a kilometer, the cannibal natives disappeared.

"Damn, these monkeys run away so fast." The leader of the mercenary group said in disappointment.

Just the next moment, countless cannibals poured out from all directions, more than ten times more than at the beginning.

These cannibal natives are either armed with bows and arrows, or with wood grass and blowguns.

In this case, the effectiveness of the powerful firepower in the hands of mercenaries is greatly reduced.

Because they are too close.

"Mr. Leader, it seems that we will all become prisoners of the cannibal natives, so I don't need to give you the $100,000."
