Ling Chen had been observing the surrounding environment, and the place where his eyes stayed the longest was naturally the iron fence in front of him.

Through the gap in the fence, what can be seen outside is a winding corridor cave.

Pandora asked:

"Continue to wait?"

"That's the only way it can be." Ling Chen turned to look at the other imprisoned aborigines and said:

"There are about 20 aborigines imprisoned around me. What's the situation over there?"

"Almost like you."

Ling Chen could barely see that almost everyone's expressions at this time carried an indescribable despair and fear.

Obviously, these aborigines must have more information than he himself.

At the very least, they should know why they were captured here and what will happen to them and others. Otherwise, they wouldn't show such expressions.

Ling Chen really wanted to ask, but in such a quiet situation, if he spoke rashly, it would undoubtedly automatically expose himself.

Try to make as few choices as possible that will increase the risk. Moreover, the aborigines are obviously emotionally unstable, and it is hard to say whether they will answer.

Fortunately, after some observation, I found nothing.

"I noticed that some people were holding guns in their hands, including pistols, submachine guns, and shotguns. This reflects a problem." Ling Chen shared some of his observations:

"Either there are no bullets inside and there is no threat, or..."

Pandora took the next sentence:

"They are not afraid of firearms at all, so they are allowed to continue to hold weapons."

"That's right." Ling Chen nodded and said:

"And it can be further inferred that the iron fence should be very stable and hard, at least it will not be broken by firearms."

After a while, Pandora's voice sounded again:

"Indeed, no trade action is possible now."

"Just wait a little longer, the organizer won't leave us here and ignore us from now on." Ling Chen smiled and said:

"At the very least, you need to know what kind of enemies will appear this time. If you don't know this, you won't be able to find clues to complete the mission."

Pandora said calmly:

"That's right. Anyway, let's test our patience with other teams. If someone can't sit still, they can help us explore the way."

As soon as Pandora finished speaking, there was a burst of footsteps outside Ling Chen's cell.

The footsteps were quite heavy and messy. They didn't sound like ordinary humans. The number should be between three and five.

"It's coming, but I don't know what it will be yet." Ling Chen informed in the team channel.

At the same time, he backed away a few words, shrank back as much as possible, and moved away from the iron fence.

In less than half a second, Pandora also responded:

"Here too, I heard footsteps approaching."

"Let's act by ear and try to find a way to see if we can meet up. If we can, it's best. If not, we can collect intelligence separately and act by ear."

"no problem."

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and then the top of the cave suddenly lit up. It turned out that the wall lamp was turned on.

Then, a burst of dim yellow light illuminated the surrounding area.

Fortunately, as the footsteps approached, Ling Chen had already returned his pupils to normal. Otherwise, the light source that intensified in an instant might cause damage to his eyes.

Ling Chen calmly squeezed into the crowd, but these aborigines showed no reaction and didn't care at all about his actions at this time.

He followed the example of others, squinting his eyes slightly and covering them with his right hand, as if he was stimulated by the light.

Through the gaps between his fingers, Ling Chen saw several rather burly figures standing in front of the iron fence.

From the appearance, they walk upright on two legs and are human-shaped, but definitely not human.

"Treant?"

These guys are two meters tall, and their whole body shows a stiff woody texture. There are also strings of green vines on the surface of the body, which are rolling like tentacles.

The overall structure is similar to that of humans to a certain extent. The hands, feet, and face have facial features.

The appearance of the tree man is extremely ferocious, and its body is covered with wood-like cracks.

Ling Chen noticed that since the appearance of these tree men, the breathing of the native people nearby had become heavier and heavier, and their eyes showed deep despair.

At this time, a tree man came close to the iron fence and looked at it with his green eyes.

After making sure there was nothing wrong, it walked to the fence and pressed a series of numbers on a device.

With a ding sound, a certain part of the fence opened, forming a small door.

The tree man yelled a syllable into the cell, which seemed to be a language that humans could not understand.

When the tree man spoke, the book of contract was not translated, so Ling Chen could not accurately identify the other party's meaning.

And he also noticed that not only himself, but also the aborigines next to him had blank faces at this time.

"Does it want us to get out?" A young man said in the innermost corner of the cell.

Judging from the current situation, this is the most reasonable guess, and almost everyone agrees with this view.

Unfortunately, after seeing the tree people appear, everyone's nervousness has reached its peak, and no one is willing to approach them.

Ling Chen used this period of time to frequently cast hidden glances at the tree man, observing them all the time.

"There is an electronic lock on the fence, and it has a unique language... There are various signs that the tree people have a very high degree of intelligence, so we must be more careful in this regard."

After waiting for a while, there was still no action, which made the tree people start to feel impatient.

The tree man who opened the electronic lock kept shouting in an unintelligible language and suddenly stretched out his right hand.

The vines on the arms grew crazily, and like ropes, they wrapped around the body of the man closest to the door opposite.

The vine suddenly plunged into the man's chest, greedily absorbing the blood like a parasite.

There was a look of disbelief on the man's face, and he reached out to touch his chest, trying to tear off the vines, but of course it was useless.

Soon, his whole body began to tremble violently, and he couldn't help but look up, and met the tree man's cold eyes.

Then, the light of life in the man's eyes gradually dimmed, disappeared, and was completely annihilated.

Seeing this scene, most of the aboriginal people showed extremely frightened eyes, and some timid women and children even burst into tears.

A tree man came over, smashed the iron fence several times, roared several times, and gestured for them all to get out.

However, seeing the atrocities committed against human beings just now, no one dares to act rashly now.

With a crash, a vine suddenly stretched out from the tree man's arm and pointed straight at him, showing his power clearly.

It was only then that someone finally stood up slowly with a trembling body, hesitated, and walked towards the door.

Although you will most likely end up dead if you get out, it is obvious that you will die immediately if you don't get out.

If you follow the tree man's instructions, you can at least struggle for a while. Anyone can do this multiple-choice question.

When the first person walked out, the rest began to slowly follow. Ling Chen blended in with the crowd and chose a position closer to the middle.

Seeing that the natives finally obeyed the orders, the tree people's attitude also softened a little, and they did not show any obvious aggression for the time being.
