The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

When Rong Yan led the way into the dense forest again, carrying two "red bricks", Xu Yiyu inexplicably felt a sense of joy from the dangerous Ar Mountains.

The only trace of nervousness in his heart also disappeared, and he and Xu Cheng followed Rong Yan into the dense forest again.

Qi He, who was at the rear, did not risk turning on any obvious light source. The four of them advanced cautiously and slowly in the dense forest in the rain, relying only on the sporadic natural light between the gaps in the treetops above their heads.

Although Xu Yiyu's night vision ability allowed her to see things almost the same as in the daytime, in order to remind herself not to rush, she still adjusted the pace of her steps in coordination with the other three people.

After the four of them walked forward for a few minutes, apart from a few small snakes that rushed out from the side and were killed by Rong Yan, who was holding a red brick, and Xu Yiyu, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, they did not encounter any other ferocious beasts.

The strong wind brought with it a torrential downpour that hit the treetops above their heads, making a messy and irregular sound. The raindrops could not be completely blocked by the treetops, and a considerable portion of them hit the four people directly.

The wind and rain affected the hearing of the other people to a certain extent, but Xu Yiyu, under the heavy rain that was like the rapid beats of drums, ignored all obstacles and listened carefully to see if there were any other sounds coming from the depths of the dense forest.

In the damp and dark forest, she heard the crawling sounds of some moisture-loving animals, as well as the sounds of some intelligent mammals rushing to find shelter from the rain. But apart from these subtle sounds that would not have much impact on the scouting team, the other wild animals seemed to have hidden their bodies, and no particularly obvious sounds could be heard.

The heavy rain made the road even more muddy. Rong Yan, who was leading the way, had to be very careful so that his shoes would not get stuck in the mud.

The dense forest in the rain smells like a peculiar mixture of earth and grass. Although it is not pleasant, it is refreshing and does not make people drowsy.

Extreme conditions such as storms greatly affect people's judgment. Even professionals with rich experience in the wild have to be careful when dealing with this test of nature.

The four of them walked forward cautiously for another ten minutes. The narrow forest road gradually widened, and the trees on both sides no longer blocked out the sun as before. The distribution of the trees also gradually became sparse.

Rong Yan, who was walking in the front, suddenly made a "stop" gesture to the three people behind him, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Xu Yiyu, Xu Cheng and Qi He all stopped walking tacitly, and leaned forward slightly to look in front of Rong Yan.

After seeing a puddle of water splashed by the rain, they also saw nearly ten crocodiles squatting by the pond, as if they were taking a rest.

At that moment, not only did the other three people show surprise on their faces, even Xu Yiyu, who had done his homework before, was stunned.

"Didn't they say there are no wild crocodiles in Yidali? Then what are these things we see? Are they our collective hallucinations?"

As a master of theory, Rong Yan turned around as quietly as possible and asked the three people behind him in a voice as low as possible, with undisguised surprise in his tone.

"Although the historical documents of Yidali show that crocodiles did exist in this country, that was many centuries ago. These are obviously Nile crocodiles that live in tropical environments. How could they appear here at this time!"

Before joining the Chinese team, Qi He had been on field expeditions in many countries, and naturally had not missed out on some highly dangerous tropical rainforest areas.

It's not that he has never seen crocodiles in the wild, but he has never seen wild crocodiles in this season and at such high latitudes.

Xu Yiyu's expression turned cold, and he immediately thought of another possibility.

"If they are not wild, then these crocodiles must have been transported here by some means beforehand and then released into this area."

When analyzing the possibility of the crocodile appearing here, Xu Yiyu's tone was emotionless, but Xu Cheng, who was standing closest to her, saw the cold light in the eyes of this cousin sister.

After listening to Xu Yiyu's speech, the other three people did not speak for a while. They just lowered their heads tacitly and thought of something at the same time.

If the bear that Xu Yiyu, one of the pathfinders, had just encountered could be considered a wild species that might appear in the Al Mountains, but this group of Nile crocodiles was obviously placed here by someone who had known the route of Xu Yiyu and his group in advance and deliberately placed them here as one of their roadblocks.

Xu Cheng understood why Xu Yiyu was angry, but the first thing he thought about was how to deal with these nearly ten crocodiles that looked very dangerous, and then continue to explore the way forward.

"Boss Qi, do you have any experience dealing with crocodiles? I mean... have you ever dealt with so many at once?"

Xu Cheng subconsciously asked Qi He for advice, only because this pool of water was the only way for the exploration team to move forward. Although there was enough space for several people to pass by the pool, it was almost impossible to pass through there without alerting these big guys.

"It seems that we haven't completely shaken off the tail along the way, or... those who set up Nile crocodiles here as roadblocks have already taken a step ahead of us."

Xu Yiyu's voice was still cold, his eyes swept straight towards the ten huge crocodiles, and there seemed to be a hint of murderous intent flashing across his eyes.

The reason why Organization M did not get rid of these people was not because they were incapable, but because they did not follow the treasure hunting team, but instead walked ahead of them.

It's impossible to deal with it cleanly without even seeing the shadow of those people.

"Ms. Xu, do you have some enemies in China that you have forgotten about? Or did you accidentally make enemies? Our operation this time is very secretive. If you don't have special channels, it is impossible to find out our route of action."

"To be honest with you, I don't have any clue right now."

Xu Yiyu shook his head gently, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and an almost absurd possibility came to his mind.

Is there a possibility that these crocodiles are not a "roadblock" targeting her, Xu, but were placed here in advance by other people in preparation for dealing with their enemies?

Did the four of them just happen to stumble upon this trap that had been set in advance?

"Those who are able to set obstacles for us should not know my specific whereabouts now, so is there a possibility... that this trap is set for another group that may pass by here?"

Xu Yiyu explained this possibility to the three people around him while thinking, and from time to time he glanced at the crocodiles that were still resting, as if he was calculating the probability of this possibility occurring.

When Rong Yan and Qi He heard Xu Yiyu's slow and cautious speech, they also looked at the Nile crocodiles resting in front of them, as if they were also considering something.

"Anyway, no matter who caused these crocodiles to appear here, we have to pass through this pool and help another group of people resolve some crises, or resolve the crisis for our own team... Maybe this is what we have to do today."

Qi He carefully observed the sizes of the crocodiles, looked at the piece of metal in his hand, and smiled helplessly.

Rong Yan pushed his rain-soaked glasses on his nose and nodded in agreement.
