The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

I boarded a tourist bus heading to the next destination, Shandao Island, and sat in an empty double seat at the back of the bus. I took out my cell phone as if no one was around.

After editing a command message, Yamashima sent it to Hinata who had already driven to the base.

[Send someone to the Crocodile Pond to check the situation and report back after getting feedback.]

After meeting Xu Yiyu, Shandao had a premonition that he couldn't explain the source of. He always felt that the traps he had asked Hinata to set might have some changes.

[Yes, Yamashima-kun.]

Hinata's reply came quickly. Shandao glanced at the phone screen and locked it, then put it back somewhere close to him.

He sat quietly in the back seat of the bus and did not join in the conversation with the tourists in the front seat.

However, only half an hour had passed and Hinata's men who were closest to the crocodile pond area were staring blankly at the empty edge of the pond.

It took them a long time to understand what the scene before them meant.

One of the sharp-eyed men noticed a dark figure struggling to crawl forward in the dense forest not far away. Instinctively, he realized that the situation was not good, and quickly pulled his companions away from the current area and moved three or four meters to the side.

Just a few seconds later, a huge Nile crocodile appeared where they had just stood, then stopped and did not move forward.

After careful observation, the man was surprised to find that the crocodile's mouth seemed to be bound by something, and at this moment it did not show any intention of attacking.

"You guys, go and take a look."

The leading man was obviously not stupid. He knew very well that he could not let his companions take the risk of removing the objects that bound the crocodile's mouth, so as not to increase its combat effectiveness unnecessarily.

He instinctively stepped back a few steps and then directed others to come forward and carefully check the condition of the crocodile.

He stood there, picked up his phone, quickly took a photo, and sent it to the boss Hinata the next moment.

When Hinata saw the crocodile's mouth that couldn't open, he finally understood why Yamashima sent people to check it out.

——No matter which force these crocodiles are restrained by, they have now lost most of their threatening ability.

While Hinata was still worrying about how to report to the mountain island, Xu Yiyu and everyone in the treasure hunting team officially entered the mountainous area that could truly be called the Al Mountains.

If the climate was pleasant and the temperature was suitable on the Hughes Plateau just now, the temperature dropped sharply once we entered the mountains.

Tan Taihong, who was walking not far behind Xu Yiyu, couldn't help but shiver. Out of instinct, she pulled her coat tightly, trying to keep herself warm.

At this moment, the person walking in front of the team has become the leader of the Jingda five-member group - Minghong.

He raised his head and looked at the still clear sky above his head, and a trace of worry arose in his heart.

Then, he decisively pulled open half of his sleeves and felt the actual temperature of the area.

As time went on, his frown deepened.

Finally, he turned around and conveyed a not-so-optimistic news to the people behind him.

"Everyone, although the extreme weather has ended today, the temperature in the mountains has dropped significantly."

"Based on my judgment, if nothing unexpected happens, the temperature should drop to single digits before we set up camp in the mountains tonight. Please take precautions against the cold and ensure your own safety."

Qi He, who had rich outdoor experience, and Zeng Feng, who had solid theoretical knowledge, both nodded and agreed with Minghong's judgment.

"If I remember correctly, there should be thick clothes prepared for everyone in the supplies. Although the temperature has not dropped to that range yet, please everyone change into them."

After Xu Yiyu explained clearly to everyone in the treasure hunting team, he swung his outdoor bag from his shoulder to the front of him, pretended to reach into the bottom of the bag, and after pulling out a down jacket that looked very warm, he put it on as quickly as he could.

The risk of hypothermia in the mountain environment was obviously more important to Honghong than the image issue. She immediately followed suit and took out a down jacket from her bag and wrapped it directly over the outdoor coat.

Everyone in the treasure hunting team temporarily took off the supply backpacks on their shoulders and began to change clothes on the spot.

Except for Tianlin, who was carrying several large boxes and did not look tired at all, everyone wrapped themselves in warm clothes in preparation for the low temperatures that were coming at night.

Tianlin just stood there, guarding the treasure hunting team members who were busy adding clothes, and observed the situation around them vigilantly from time to time.

However, apart from these actions, Tianlin did not make any other unnecessary movements.

Tan Taihong noticed that Tianlin had no intention of adding more clothes, and cast her eyes on him curiously.

She was really curious why this brother Tianlin seemed to have no fear of anything and was so omnipotent that it was almost unbelievable to her.

The sister Yi Yu, whom she liked very much, took Tianlin with her, just like taking a human-shaped Doraemon with her. She didn't have to worry about any difficulties or obstacles wherever she went.

But curiosity aside, after Lin Yi's repeated reminders, Tan Taihong has learned to suppress her urge to get to the bottom of things, and will no longer ask questions that neither Xu Yiyu nor Tian Lin can tell her the real answers to.

Tianlin naturally noticed Honghong's gaze and understood that she was somewhat curious about him in her heart, but he just restrained himself and pretended that they had just made eye contact, and nodded slightly to her.

Of course there was a reason why he didn't add more clothes.

The planet, or plane, where he was born did not have four clear seasons like the Blue Star, and extremely cold weather often lasted for several months.

But the inhabitants of this planet like him have a special body structure and will not get sick or need to wear more clothes due to the drop or rise in temperature.

In the words of the humans on Blue Star, they are neither afraid of cold nor heat.

The changing of clothes lasted for several minutes. Xu Yiyu stood there, confirming one by one whether all the members had changed into warm clothes and did not miss anyone.

We have not yet entered the humid and inconvenient forest area, so now is the most appropriate time to take precautions. Otherwise, if we go forward, the rustling sound is likely to attract the attention of some dangerous wild animals, thus causing unnecessary trouble for the team.

Although the Ar Mountains are located at a high latitude, in addition to some evergreen coniferous plants, broad-leaved plants are also widely distributed.

I have to say that this is indeed good news for the treasure hunting team. At least it shows that this place will not change from summer to winter overnight, and there will not be such extreme temperature difference between day and night.

After more than 30 people were ready, Yan Ke, an Interpol officer, walked to the end of the team and observed the situation from behind. After confirming again that his Interpol colleagues were not following them, he returned to his original position.

Jiu has now walked to the front of the team. Looking at the increasingly familiar environment and plants around him, the emotions in his eyes become more and more complicated.

——Every next step means that there may be danger, and it also means that they are getting closer and closer to the destination marked on the map.

"Everyone follow me now. Although it is not winter in the Aer Mountains, the danger is no less than in winter. Everyone must be careful with every step they take."

Jiu's vocal cords were injured, so even if he spoke at the top of his voice, the volume was only barely loud enough for everyone in the treasure hunting team to hear. However, he still spoke very solemnly, fearing that he would miss even a word.

Since the last time they set foot in this area of ​​the Aer Mountains, his teammates had left their lives on this land one after another during the journey.

This time, he didn't intend to watch anyone in this team lose their life in front of him. He must bring everyone back to China safely.

Xu Yiyu said nothing and gave the position of leader for the rest of the journey to Jiu.

She understood the significance of this place to Jiu, and also understood what Jiu wanted to achieve this time.

He not only wanted to lead the group of people behind him to find the imperial seal, but also wanted to lead them to safely pass the test given to them by the Al Mountains.

No one was left behind, no one was missing.

This may be more important to Jiu than anything else.
