Now that he had heard their plan, Ye Li had no reason to go out first. He naturally chose to stay in the forest and wait and see what happened.
These three people clearly wanted to act like a mantis stalking a cicada, so Ye Li himself would naturally be the oriole behind the mantis.
Through the gaps in the bushes, Ye Li could vaguely see several figures on a cliff outside the forest.
He slowly squatted down and sat on the ground. There was a bush nearly thigh-high next to him, which covered most of his leaves, making it difficult to spot him from a distance.
Ye Li sat on the ground and listened quietly to the conversation of several people outside. Most of the content was boring, but he could still hear that there were three people outside, all from three different offshore forces.
As they were talking, suddenly footsteps were heard and another person came rushing over from a distance.
When the three heard this, they quickly hid behind a large rock next to the woods.
Ye Li couldn't see clearly either, and could only judge the approximate direction of the three people's movement by the changes in light and shadow in the branches and leaves.
Soon, the footsteps just now arrived at where the three people were hiding, and the voice of a middle-aged man sounded.
"Come out, everyone! It's me!"
The person who came seemed to be familiar with the previous three people and greeted them.
When the three heard the voice of the person coming, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Hai is here. Why are you here so late? I thought you forgot our agreement?"
When Ye Li heard the words "Brother Hai", he guessed that the other party might be from the Hai family in Haitian City, and he became a little alert.
"I came so late just to get rid of those followers.
You guys from overseas forces, why do you think you can take advantage of me by following me? This is my second time here, and it was you, Brother Hu, who notified me of this."
"Brother Hai" said helplessly, and one could hear some irritation in his tone.
"Haha, it's because it was you, Brother Hai, who spread the news about the island. Those guys are cunning as hell. They must have thought that you knew everything about the island, so they wanted to take advantage of you.
By the way, Brother Hai, are you sure you have shaken off the tail?"
"Brother Hu" said.
"Brother Hai" nodded and said, "I have gotten rid of them all. I went through a lot of trouble and used some tricks to get rid of them.
Brother Hu, you have been here for so long, has anyone gone downstairs?"
"There are no people here, they are all behind us.
Besides, there are dangerous areas all around this island, and it is not easy to pass through. Those guys will have to go through a lot of trouble to find the entrance to the ruins below.
I want to see how many people end up here.”
"Brother Hu" spoke with a somewhat excited tone.
Ye Li, who was listening to the conversation nearby, immediately understood that it seemed that the Hai family was indeed colluding with foreign forces.
Moreover, the news of the ruins was also spread by these Hai family members in order to attract a large number of people to come here as bait so that the four of them could take the opportunity to rush into the ruins.
"Brother Hai, have you found the remnants of the Lang family? It's been so long and there's still no news?"
Another voice sounded.
"Hey, don't mention it. We have mobilized so many people to look for them, but we still don't know where those guys are hiding.
However, there are still many masters of the Lang family who escaped. If we really want to find them, we have to act together. If we attack the enemy alone, the casualties will be huge."
"Brother Hai" replied.
“Ah, I really can’t wait to catch all the remnants of the Lang family. These guys have killed many people from my Golden Turtle Island in the past.
Brother Liu, your Shuiwen Pavilion must have suffered a lot as well, right?"
The person who had just asked the question spoke again.
When Ye Li heard the words "Golden Turtle Island", his expression suddenly changed.
This Golden Turtle Island is the superior force of the Xunxian Cave that caused trouble for the Ye family. The owner of the island is called Wanshou Zunzhe, and he is not a guy who is easy to mess with.
Ye Li didn't expect that the people from Jingui Island would get together with the Hai family, and he was a little surprised.
Among the five people outside the forest, he already knew the identities of three of them. One was from the Hai family, one with the surname Hu was from Jingui Island, and the other one with the surname Liu was from the overseas force Shuiwen Pavilion.
Ye Li was not clear about the situation of overseas forces, but he had carefully studied the map he brought out from the Traveling Merchants Association. It recorded most of the forces on the coast of the East China Sea. Among them, the Hydrological Pavilion was a major force adjacent to the Golden Turtle Island.
“Of course, many of our Shuiwen Pavilion members have died at the hands of the Lang family. We would love to kill them as soon as possible, and it would be best if we could eradicate them completely.
In fact, if I were to talk about the forces on the East China Sea, I don’t think I could find anyone who has not suffered at the hands of the Lang family.
If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Yu and his friends whether they have suffered a big loss on Yuelong Island, and ask Brother Li and his friends on Xingdao. "
As he was speaking, this "Brother Liu" also revealed the identities of the other two people. One was from Yuelong Island and his surname was Yu, and the last one was from Wenxing Island and his surname was Li.
Ye Li went over these forces in his mind and found that they were the four large forces closest to Haitian City on the coast of the East China Sea.
Compared with other nearby forces, these forces are big guys and their strength is very strong.
However, when the Lang family was here, even if the four families joined together, they could not break through the defenses of Haitian City. They could only hide on the island and could not go ashore.
The situation is different now. After joining forces with the Hai family, the entire East China Sea coast is about to be completely encircled by these five families.
The five families relied on their influence to constantly change the attitudes of the major forces on the East China Sea coast. Through coercion and gifts, they tried to unite as many people as possible to their side and make them their objects of use.
Listening to the five people talking and bringing the topic to the Lang family, Ye Li suddenly felt a sense of resentment in his heart.
The families of these guys are the ruthless ones who beat the Lang family into ruins. Now that Ye Li sees them, he naturally feels some hatred in his heart.
After all, he and Lang Xiaoyao were good friends, and until now he didn't know where his good friend was going, nor did he know whether Lang Xiaoyao was dead or alive. He suddenly felt uneasy.
"These guys are the ones who wiped out the Lang family. Ye Li, you don't want to jump out and fight with them directly, do you?"
Tunri's voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Li couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "How can I rush out? Now is not the time to alert the enemy.
Since these guys have been plotting against others, we can also plot against them. When they are ready to enter the ruins, we will appear from behind them and give them a surprise. "
