Chapter 25. There's a Mole! (Additional Reward)
Taken was one of the three priests. In terms of seniority, he was even above Xilu and Carly, and the three of them made up three generations of the old, middle, and young.
After Carly showed Char the route, he had been thinking about this. From the route of the other two groups, they would meet soon.
But this time, they only saw Xilu's group.
Furthermore, the fact that he did not reply to her after seeing the Spirit Serpent was partly due to Xilu's contempt for Carly, but also because he was cautious. In the original course of history, Xilu had lived for a long time. Although he was immobile and lecherous, and even though Carly had become the high priest, he had always made things difficult for her, he had always been cautious and dedicated to the tribe. Char had been with him for many years and knew how powerful he was.
In fact, most of the time, Xilu's attempts to embarrass Carly was to force her to grow up, or to deliberately play the bad guy to the people. He was a person with a lot of problems, but he wasn't bad in nature.
The first time Char had tried to woo Carly, he had been tricked by this guy. He had once thought that Carly was Xilu's illegitimate daughter, but after several rounds of investigation, he finally got the truth. The two of them had no blood relationship at all. Xilu had targeted him because he stubbornly believed that it did not matter who Char wanted to woo, but if he wanted to lay his hands on the head and high priest of the Black Mamba Tribe, he had to stop him.
It was the same for this meeting. Although Xilu had sent such a simple-minded person to meet Char, the place where they met happened to be at the edge of Xilu's perception range. From the moment Char took his first step, Xilu had been watching him closely.
The woman's voice from the tent was also fake, but Xilu did not expect Char to be so ruthless as to throw a stink bomb of unknown origin in.
This was simply an act of courting death!
In fact, Char only dared to do so because he knew Xilu's temper.
If it were any other priest, the moment this toy was thrown in, the favorability would probably be locked to hatred. However, Xilu was a reasonable person and would not be affected by emotions.
"Taken is indeed dead. What else do you know? If I'm not mistaken, you guys crossed Gray Wing territory to get here," Xilu said. "Have the Gray Wings suffered too?"
"You're right. There are two other things I know," Char nodded.
Char stretched out two fingers and said in a low but powerful voice.
"First, Taken's group was destroyed by a mole.
"Second, there might be a mole in your group."
After hearing these two things, Xilu's eyes changed.
Char was right. He had indeed met up with Taken's group in advance, and then the entire camp disappeared right under his eyes. The twenty-odd men on his side who were on night duty had also disappeared.
Moreover, from his inspection of the scene, there was indeed a mole in Taken's group because there was no sign of struggle in Taken's tent. Instead, snake venom was found in the wine glass that he had used.
He had not had a good night's sleep since then, and it was only then that he stumbled and met up with Carly's group.
Then, regarding the second line.
Xilu looked around.
Because of the unpleasant smell, no one came in.
In other words, their conversation was completely isolated and no one could hear it.
Was this a coincidence, or was the other party doing it on purpose?
"You don't trust them?" Xilu asked.
"I don't even trust you." but I'm at least half-convinced now," Char said. "You might have nothing to do with this."
Xilu snorted and didn't comment.
"I haven't asked you how you dealt with Carly. That girl is not an easy horse to tame."
"I'm afraid you can't wait for me to tame her and take her away, right? Just cooperate with me," Char said awkwardly. "I won't come into contact with you until I catch the mole in your group."
"'Cooperate'?"
Xi Lu frowned and thought for a few seconds, then came to a realization.
"I understand,"
A shadow appeared behind him, and he slapped Char away in a half-revenge, half-acting manner.
Char broke through the thick curtain and flew out horizontally, landing on Naby's face with his butt. The two of them rolled a few times before stopping.
--Petty!
"Motherf*cker, what bad luck!"
Char stood up and patted the dust off his body, then pulled Naby up.
"What did the high priest say to you?" Naby asked him.
"He asked me about some things," Char raised her head and replied, "We were attacked by the White Spirit Tribe when we came here. The Gray Wings have disappeared. I think it was done by them. I advise you to be careful."
"What!" Naby was shocked. "When we arrived, Taken's group was also gone. Could it be? "
"Who knows?" Char shrugged, then beckoned Naby with his finger.
Naby had learned his lesson this time and moved his ears closer.
"It might be the church's doing." Char said in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Naby looked around and quickly reminded, "The people from the church came to give us something not long ago, and the priest even accepted a few bottles of medicine to enhance his ability in that area, hehe."
Char cursed the church's people for being so understanding, but his expression did not change.
"It's absolutely true. I got the information by pretending to be a member of the church." He said with a smile on his face, then reminded the other party, "Don't tell anyone about this, or I'll be exposed. I even killed one of their key figures."
Naby nodded profusely.
"That's a big secret! I won't tell anyone!"
In the blink of an eye, the sky was turning yellow. By this time, the entire camp was discussing this "big secret". The people of the church colluded with the people of the White Spirit Tribe to kill the Gray Wings, and it was the long-ears named Char who found out about it.
"This is what you meant by won't tell anyone'?"
Char stared at Naby.
"I only told one person!"
Naby lowered his head in shame.
...
In the middle of the night, everything was quiet. There was only the sound of the bonfire burning in the camp of more than six hundred people.
The barbarian's tent had good soundproofing.
A team of about 40 sentries was divided into four teams and patrolled back and forth in four directions.
Probably because the team had reunited, Xilu was also slightly relieved and could finally sleep well.
Under the moonlight, a black shadow wriggled out like black mud on the ground. However, just as he was about to leave the camp, a sword fell with a swoosh and blocked his way.
"It's already so late, where are you going, Captain Naby?"
Char walked up to the man in black and stared at his hand, which was missing a thumb.
