The two people said nothing and went their separate ways with cold faces.

The mercenaries followed quietly, and Hayes, who was standing behind, had sarcastic eyes.

Su Jinhua looked at all of them, with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, and they all thought she would be that bird.

Nicole kept walking and stopped, but they kept searching halfway up the mountain and couldn't see the entrance.

In the end, Brooklyn couldn't help but asked, "Nicole, do you know how to find the entrance? The map is in your hand. Is there any special mark on the entrance?"

"You didn't say anything. Do you think the entrance will be on the ground?"

Brooklyn has asked four or five times, but Nicole has never said anything, saying that he would recognize it if he saw it.

"You haven't found it yet? Why are you anxious?"

Nicole answered unceremoniously. He couldn't understand the map, but he didn't want Brooklyn to see his map, so he could only guess as he walked.

"You should at least tell us what we are looking for first, right? If you don't say anything, can you find it by yourself? What if you think you didn't find it in time and missed it?"

Brooklyn was very impatient at this time and walked around without knowing what he was looking for.

"Just find a stone with a five-pointed star on it."

Nicole saw that the others were looking at her impatiently. For fear of being robbed of the map, she could only say one important piece of information.

"Are you sure it's true and you're not just making it up?"

Brooklyn looked at Nicole suspiciously, then turned to the book in his hand.

"Otherwise, show me. If you can't understand it yourself, then we will all be doing useless work."

I thought about asking Nicole to take a look at it to see if it was real.

"No, I'm pretty sure that as long as we find this stone, we can find the entrance."

Feeling Brooklyn's gaze, Nicole hugged the notebook tighter.

"Take a look to make sure. We are all here. We won't know until we find the entrance. It won't make any difference if we show it earlier."

Brooklyn suppressed his anger and tried to persuade him with nice words, fearing that Nicole wouldn't understand and would do nothing.

"I am very sure."

Nicole watched Brooklyn warily, unable to show him the book.

"If you can understand, why haven't you found the entrance yet?"

"You take it out yourself, and I'll take a look and recognize it. Otherwise, I'll snatch it. It's just a waste of manpower."

Brooklyn insisted on watching, otherwise he would be led by Nicole.

"No, unless you show me your map, and we can look at it together to prove that you mean no harm."

Seeing that Brooklyn's face was livid and he was so angry that he wanted to take action, he said hurriedly.

"We haven't found the entrance yet, and there's no use looking at mine."

Brooklyn definitely doesn't want to give the map, so he shirks it.

"Look, you don't show it to me yet, but you want me to show it to you. Don't be too arrogant."

Nicole tightened the notebook in her arms and no longer hesitated. Just now she was thinking that as long as Brooklyn showed it to her, she would show it to him.

Since he didn't give it, it meant that he was not trustworthy, so it was a good thing to test it.

The two of them were guarding against each other and did not give in. They remained in a stalemate and did not move.

"You are still looking for us. If you don't look for us, we will leave. We don't have time to see you making trouble here."

Hayes said in a fierce tone, tired of their little ploy.

Su Jinhua was speechless. It was impossible for them to find the entrance because they were so distrustful. While watching the play, she accidentally got too fascinated and touched a branch nearby, making a small sound.

"who."

Hayes' sharp eyes quickly looked at the location of Su Jinhua. Su Jinhua's heart tightened and she continued to hide, fifteen meters away from them. As long as she didn't move, they might not find her.

"what happened?"

Brooklyn was startled by Hayes' sudden shout. Following his line of sight, he found nothing.

"I just heard the sound of branches hitting branches."

Hayes responded while walking in the direction of Su Jinhua. Caution was the top priority in their profession, and he felt uneasy without seeing it with his own eyes.

Su Jinhua stayed motionless on the spot, blocked by lush grass, and did not enter the space unless absolutely necessary.

"You should overthink it. This place is already deep. Most people will not come here to seek death."

Brooklyn didn't hear the sound and felt that Hayes was helping Nicole change the subject, and his tone was a little accusatory.

Hayes ignored him and continued to play.

"hiss."

A black snake flew toward Hayes' face, having flown down from a tree.

"Hayes..."

Nicole didn't have time to remind him. As soon as he called Hayes' name, he saw the snake was cut in half.

It was Hayes who quickly took out the dagger from his waist and cut the snake in half.

"I just said you are overthinking."

Brooklyn scoffed.

"Being cautious is also for our safety. Don't forget that we are transitioning illegally. If we are discovered, we will be arrested."

Hayes said that he hates Daxia because Daxia's soldiers are like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed. They will definitely capture the target when they find it.

I came to Daxia to carry out a mission before, but I was intercepted by Daxia soldiers before I could take action. They obviously couldn't defeat the mercenaries, but they were not even afraid of death. They just wanted to catch the mercenaries and fight for their lives. They would be a group of lunatics who don't care about their lives. If not They must have been caught if they were fast, but they also suffered heavy losses.

If it weren't for the generous salary this time and the money he earned in two years, he wouldn't have accepted it.

"Decide quickly and leave without looking for me while it's still daylight."

Hayes urged, forcing them to make a decision, otherwise there would be a quarrel later, looking at Nicole with cold eyes, as long as he took out the map and looked at it, everything would be solved.

"me......"

Nicole was still hesitating. His father had told him not to show the map to anyone else.

Hayes grabbed the notebook from his arms and turned to look at Brooklyn.

"Take out your map too. If you want to see his, you have to show him your own map. It's only fair. If you don't want to, don't look for it."

"You can't cooperate if you don't trust each other."

Hayes did not look at Nicole's book immediately, but reached out and asked Brooklyn for a map. It was only fair that the two of them read it together so that they would not make a fuss.

So everyone's eyes are looking at Brooklyn, waiting for him to make a decision.

"You took mine, why don't you take his."

Nicole said unconvinced, pointing at Brooklyn.

Hayes closed his eyes, suppressing the urge to ridicule Nicole. He insisted on holding the map in his hand and not robbing him of anyone else's.

Brooklyn, the old fox, never took it out. Only Nicole was just wandering around with the map openly. Even though she was wandering around, she still couldn't understand it.

If you don't understand it, forget it. If you don't show it to others, you'll be punished.

Both of them don't trust each other so they make a fuss here.
