Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 620 Escort Convoy

"Hello, my name is 'Flying Knife'... Please take good care of me in this dungeon, both of you."

Although he was the employer of the two men, Fei Dao kept a low profile.

Lin Yu did not express his opinion, but Li Nian waved his hand naturally.

"Don't worry, buddy. I've taken your money and I promise to help you complete the game safely. If I have the chance, I'll help you get some reviews, and I'll do my best to do so."

As he spoke, Li Nian pulled out a weed from the crevice next to him, broke it off, and held it in his mouth.

"You know where this 'Zhu Ming' and I come from... Although we're not exactly good people, we'll definitely handle your money and your affairs properly and beautifully."

"Right, Sister Zhu Ming?"

After hearing Li Nian throw the words to him, Lin Yu nodded slightly and said: "I will do my best."

He did not say it as confidently as Li Nian did, but instead asked Li Nian again.

"However, according to the prompt before entering the game, there should be six people in this dungeon. The three of us are together, so where are the other three?"

Although not all [dungeons] will allow all [players] to appear in the same place, Lin Yu always felt that something was fishy about this incident.

There are six people in total. The three of us are in a team together. Could it be that the remaining three are also in a team?

Sure enough, Li Nian thought for a moment and then said, "I think... there is a certain possibility that this [copy] of ours might be a confrontational one."

"In other words, the remaining three 'players' may be in conflict with our goals—don't forget, the name of our 'dart grabbing' this time!"

Lin Yu frowned slightly: "Indeed, the name 'Dart Seizure' sounds very confrontational... However, our clearance condition is not to rob something, but to reach a certain location, right?"

Lin Yu said, and Li Nian nodded: "Indeed, but if we want to reach that place called 'Liu Town', I'm afraid we really have to steal some things!"

"Humans in the Prison Mountain Realm generally live in small settlements, organized around villages. Towns are extremely rare and heavily guarded... For people like us to enter a specific town, we must have an 'identity.'"

Li Nian said this, then touched the mark carved with a knife on the rock wall behind the few people.

It was a long knife drawn with simple strokes.

"If I'm not mistaken, in this instance, we'll probably have to follow a convoy."

Li Nian speculated and Lin Yu was a little curious: "Why do you think so?"

"I've been to the Prison Mountain Realm a few times, so I'm relatively familiar with the 'human forces' here," Li Nian said softly. "Because there are so many monsters and demons in the mountains, trade between human towns relies on escorts—and the knife marks here are the places where the escorts meet."

"If my guess is correct, we just need to wait here for a while, and instructions on how to get to Liu Town will be delivered to our door."

Li Nian thought as he analyzed.

This was Lin Yu's first time in the Prison Mountain Realm. Even though he had the information from his senior sister so that he would not be completely in the dark, he still didn't understand the details at all.

Now that Li Nian’s words were so reasonable and well-founded, he naturally chose to trust Li Nian directly.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Lin Yu said he had no objection.

The employer Fei Dao on the side also nodded quickly, indicating that he also agreed with Li Nian's statement, but soon he had some doubts.

"Should we wait here... How long should we wait?"

"If we wait too long, won't it put us at a disadvantage when we might have to fight other players?"

Fei Dao asked somewhat uneasily, as if hoping that Li Nian and Lin Yu would give him a positive answer.

But Li Nian and Lin Yu were obviously not sure.

Li Nian just said vaguely: "Don't worry, it shouldn't take too long."

Lin Yu observed Fei Dao's obviously worried expression, and he also had some understanding of the psychological quality of his employer.

"No wonder they were so anxious to hire someone. He must be the type of guy who isn't very good at dealing with special, urgent, and unexpected situations."

Lin Yu had a general understanding of flying knives.

This Prison Mountain Realm was indeed too bad for him - after all, this was a world where a mysterious monster might suddenly appear and slap someone in the face at any time.

There's even a saying among players that "every type of dungeon in the Prison Mountain Realm has some element of fighting."

Even in survival and puzzle games, you may have to fight monsters that appear out of nowhere.

Therefore, for a guy with Fei Dao's psychological quality... the Prison Mountain Realm is indeed too unfriendly.

"But luckily he happened to hire me and Li Nian..."

As a "mercenary" who does things for money, Lin Yu is still very conscientious.

Since Fei Dao's psychological quality is average, I will try my best to help him pass the level without scaring the employer or causing him any extra worries!

So, looking at the worried Fei Dao, Lin Yu also volunteered.

"I can sense if anyone is approaching us."

As he spoke, he quietly took out Lao Zheng, pretended that he had a mental perception attack, closed his eyes slightly, and placed his index and middle fingers on his temples.

After sensing it, Lao Zheng quickly gave Lin Yu the answer.

"About 500 meters past the left bend in the valley, there's a group of about 30 natives. They're probably a convoy delivering an embassy."

"We'll probably see them in a few minutes."

Lin Yu repeated Lao Zheng's words and pointed in the direction of the person who was coming as Lao Zheng had revealed.

After hearing what Lin Yu said, Fei Dao relaxed a little, but then tensed up again: "Really? Someone really came... But are these people sure to be friendly? People from the Prison Mountain Realm are not that easy to deal with!"

Li Nian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Since we entered the game from here, it must be a design of the 'Death Game' for us."

"Besides, just leave the negotiations to me. Although the people of the Prison Mountain Realm are quite wary, I also have ways to gain their trust."

Li Nian said seriously.

After a while, just as Lin Yu said, a convoy came from the corner in front of the valley - six cars were covered with summer talismans, and the animals pulling the cars looked like a cross between camels, yaks and horses.

A convoy of this size is extremely rare in the Prison Mountain Realm.

As they walked towards this side, the leading few people soon noticed Lin Yu and the other two standing under a protruding rock in the valley that just happened to provide shade.

The carriage team stopped at a distance.

Before the other party could ask back, Li Nian took the initiative.

"That's the convoy over there heading to 'Liu Town'?!"
