Ye Li hid in the corner of a room. His current location was on the side of a small mound, which was a place he chose deliberately.
The big house where Tianfu might live was right in front of the entrance to the small mound, and the two guards were on both sides of the entrance.
Ye Li's current position is on the left side of the cave entrance. From a distance he can just see the side of the guard and the side of the big house.
Hiding here, Ye Li began to think about how to enter the small mound.
Recalling what he had seen on the hill next to the camp, there were no patrol guards nearby, and it was also difficult for the previous patrol guards to see the holes on the small mound.
Just because of the big house, the patrolling guards' vision will be blocked by the house.
This is not because Tianhun would be negligent. After all, once there is a master in charge, the role of ordinary patrol guards is really not that big.
After thinking it over, Ye Li could only think of one solution, which was to move over and take care of the two guards. At such a close distance, he had to ensure that no sound was made when taking care of the two guards.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Li moved and went straight to the side of the hill.
He was a man of great skill and courage, as he dared to act so directly in the center of the enemy camp.
After all, he knew very well that his life would not be in danger here, the only loss would be that he might not be able to bring the soul crystal out.
Sticking his body against the small mound, Ye Li slowly moved towards the entrance of the pit on the mound. With every step he took, the ground beneath his feet seemed to soften, and no sound of footsteps was emitted.
Ye Li went around the side of the small mound. His breathing had completely stopped. His eyes were not looking in the direction of the guard, but at the big house opposite.
For Ye Li, guarding is a small problem, the real big problem lies with Tianfu.
Like a shadow, Ye Li reached the entrance of the small mound in no time. He was already very close to the guard, and with his extremely keen perception, he could already detect the guard's breathing.
The guards obviously didn't notice Ye Li approaching. Two guards were still chatting in low voices. Ye Li vaguely heard a third voice.
The sound came from inside the pit. In addition to the two guards, there was actually a third person present, which shocked Ye Li's heart.
If there are two guards standing guard outside and a secret sentry inside, then it would be really troublesome, because no matter how fast Ye Li is, he can only take care of the two people at the door in an instant, and he has no idea where the person inside is hiding.
If the other party is hiding in some extremely secluded place and he fails to kill him immediately, that would be a serious problem.
Once the other party issued a warning, his mission would be completely failed.
Ye Li's eyes swept across the big house opposite, and he hadn't seen anything unusual so far. However, his current position was not at the entrance of the pit, so he would not be blocked by the big house. Once patrol personnel passed by in the distance, they would still be able to see him from the gaps in some buildings.
Ye Li was at a loss for a moment. He could only stand there and wait, then concentrate on listening to the conversation between the three people.
After listening carefully, Ye Li felt a glimmer of hope.
Judging from the conversation between the three people, the man inside was not guarding the cave entrance, but the caretaker of the warehouse in the cave.
This person seemed to be complaining that it was a bit damp inside and not as comfortable as outside, while the two people outside said that they could only stand outside, but they could lie down and sleep inside. Both sides envied each other.
Moreover, when the two people outside were talking, their voices were very low, and it could be heard that they did not dare to speak loudly, as if chatting while on guard was not allowed.
As the three were talking, Ye Li suddenly noticed that a team of patrolling guards in the distance had already reached the gap in the building, and his current position was just within their field of vision.
In other words, if any one of the patrolling guards turned his head and looked at him, he would be discovered immediately.
Under the current circumstances, Ye Li had no place to hide. The area around him was bare without even a blade of grass. He was completely exposed to the light from the crystal lamps on the roadside.
Fortunately, that team of patrol guards were just walking mechanically according to their usual route. They had no intention of looking over here. From a distance, Ye Li could see several guards talking to each other, as if they were discussing something.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. Even if the discipline is strict, it is impossible to guarantee that all guards will persist every day. Once the environment is safe and the work becomes easy, such mechanical and repetitive activities will make people feel bored.
The guards are also human beings. They will find opportunities to chat when they are bored. Only in this way can their spirits be relaxed. Otherwise, the security defense capability will be further reduced.
Ye Li's hair almost stood on end as he watched the team of patrol guards not far away leave the gap in the building.
After all, that team's main attention was focused on the area they were guarding, and they did not pay attention to the situation outside the area.
Ye Li, who was clinging to the small mound, finally had a false alarm and was not discovered by the enemy.
After seeing that the enemy had disappeared, Ye Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that he could not delay here any longer.
There are more than one patrol team, and he cannot guarantee that no one will notice this place for such a long time.
If anyone caught his eye, he would immediately expose himself.
Pulling his attention back from the opposite side, Ye Li began to listen to the conversation between the two guards again.
"Then I'm going to go back and rest for a while. You two should hold on for a while!!!"
The person who spoke was the man in the cave passage. It seemed that he was planning to go into the cave to rest.
The two guards at the entrance of the pit responded helplessly. Indeed, from the perspective of being able to rest, the man in the cave was treated much better than the two people outside the cave.
After hearing this conversation, a smile immediately appeared on Ye Li's face. As long as the person inside could go back into the cave, he would be able to successfully get rid of the two people at the entrance of the cave.
After that, he just needs to re-enter the cave and kill the man inside, and he can safely move the Soul Crystal.
Judging from the current situation, the early exposure of the person inside is actually a good thing. He will naturally become more cautious after entering the cave.
If he was unaware of the existence of the person inside and only discovered the other person after entering the cave, even Ye Li would be likely to be exposed.
Ye Li, clinging to the small mound, listened to the footsteps of the man in the cave gradually going away. It was obvious that he had returned to the depths of the pit. Now there were only two guards beside Ye Li. (To be continued)
