"We're heading out, we have new clues."
Lin Beichen said directly, time was tight, and they had to act quickly.
The Jiaolong Commando expressed their gratitude once again and asked how they would leave.
"We've intercepted a small plane," Lin Beichen replied.
Yang Rui nodded, "In that case, let's meet again when you return home."
He knew Lin Beichen and the others had pressing matters and it wasn't appropriate to linger.
Before leaving, Lin Beichen suddenly stopped by a team member named Stone. He examined him for a moment and solemnly said, "Little brother, your forehead is dark, you might face a bloody disaster."
This statement left Stone and the others stunned.
Lin Beichen, like an old Daoist, took out two pieces of talisman paper from his pocket and handed them to Stone, "This protective talisman can save your life."
The others looked dumbfounded, not knowing what Lin Beichen was doing.
However, Yang Rui still made Stone take the protective talisman, considering it as a psychological comfort between friends.
Next, Lin Beichen gave another protective talisman to team member Zhuang Yu and advised him to be careful.
Then, he left with Xia Luyao and the others.
Watching their departing backs, members of the Jiaolong Commando were puzzled.
But time was of the essence, they had to proceed with the rescue mission immediately.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao found the H420 small jet plane.
When Lin Beichen asked who could fly the plane, he discovered none of them could.
This left him speechless, was the plane hijacked in vain?
At this moment, Xia Luyao took the keys and said, "I can!"
This astonished Lin Beichen; he hadn't expected his young apprentice to have this skill.
Xia Luyao expertly swung the keys in her hand, her face radiating with a confident smile, saying to Lin Beichen, "Want to witness my flying skills together?"
Her tone revealed a playful challenge.
Lin Beichen and the other team members exchanged smiles, infected by Xia Luyao's confidence and filled with curiosity.
Consequently, everyone followed Xia Luyao onto the H420 small jet plane.
Inside the plane, Xia Luyao sat in the pilot's seat and said to Lin Beichen, "You can be my co-pilot."
Her gaze was firm, as if everything was under her control.
Though Lin Beichen was clueless about flying, he still sat in the co-pilot seat as instructed by Xia Luyao.
He watched Xia Luyao, her expression intensely focused on controlling the plane, each movement appearing so skilled and natural.
As the plane gradually ascended, Lin Beichen looked down at the desert and tiny buildings below, marveling at human insignificance and nature's grandeur.
Meanwhile, Xia Luyao was fully absorbed in piloting the plane, her gaze determined, as if she could handle any difficulties with ease.
During the flight, the two chatted casually.
Xia Luyao asked why Lin Beichen sighed, and he responded jokingly.
This relaxed atmosphere drew them closer.
When discussing Lin Beichen's future girlfriend, Xia Luyao felt an inexplicable emotion.
She tentatively asked how Lin Beichen would treat his girlfriend, and his answer left her a bit disappointed.
However, she quickly adjusted her emotions and refocused on flying.
Finally, the plane smoothly landed at a secluded spot on Vilana Island.
Xia Luyao stretched her sore shoulders, while Lin Beichen instinctively reached out to help her massage.
This scene was seen by Flying Eagle and others passing by, they exchanged a smile, seemingly understanding something.
Xia Luyao and Lin Beichen turned to look, only to see Flying Eagle and others standing at the cabin door, smiling meaningfully.
Xia Luyao's face flushed slightly, she glared at Flying Eagle and the others, feigning to turn away.
While Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly, amused by their misunderstanding.
But he didn't explain much, after all, such misunderstandings were not rare.
He stood up, stretched lazily, then said to Xia Luyao, "Alright, we should get off the plane and complete the mission."
Then he signaled to his companions, turned and hurried away, thoughtfully pulling up the partition for the two.
Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao watched their hasty departing backs and shared a bitter smile.
These guys were really imaginative!
The two exchanged a helpless glance, Lin Beichen sighed, "Let's go down, to prevent them from overthinking."
"Alright." Xia Luyao replied concisely, and the two together opened the hatch and walked out.
...
"Why are you two coming down too?" Flame blurted out upon seeing the two.
Xia Luyao glanced at him, annoyed, "We've reached the destination, of course, we should come down. What are you all thinking?"
Lin Beichen followed up, "Alright, enough messing around. It's getting late, we must quickly find a place to settle, then search for Long Chuzhi."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately restrained their laughter and began to act according to Lin Beichen's instructions.
They were now on Vilana Island, occupied by warlord General Galsa. Upon landing, they had to register and stamp at the entry point to move freely on the island.
The group walked towards the registration checkpoint, following a cement road for over a hundred meters, they saw the simple cement house.
Inside were several uniformed guards, the other side was the path to enter the island.
They walked in naturally and took out their prepared documents.
The checkpoint officer was a middle-aged man with a white beard who scrutinized this group of guests with Asian faces, a trace of vigilance in his eyes.
"Good evening, may I ask where you seven are coming from?" He asked directly.
Xia Luyao answered fluently in English, "We're from the Southeast Asia region."
White Beard nodded, seemingly not doubting her response.
"What is your purpose on the island?" He continued questioning.
Lin Beichen faced his scrutiny calmly, replying, "We are researching birds, here to take some precious bird photos."
Xia Luyao smiled and added, "That's right, we're a team specialized in studying rare birds," saying, she swung the camera hanging around her neck.
Lin Beichen handed over their prepared fake documents, White Beard checked them carefully, casting his gaze over their faces.
Suddenly, he stared at Wild Ox, questioning, "You look very nervous?"
Wild Ox felt uneasy under his gaze but quickly composed himself, smiling, "Do I? Do I look nervous? Actually, I'm just a bit unwell, so my complexion might be bad."
White Beard raised an eyebrow, seemingly not fully believing his explanation.
At this point, the old Daoist hurriedly interjected, "Yes, he gets air sick and wanted to vomit the whole time on the plane."
As he spoke, he patted Wild Ox's back, looking concerned.
Wild Ox followed suit, pretending to retch, appearing in great discomfort.
White Beard, seeing this, though still somewhat doubtful, stamped their documents.
"You may enter the island."
He said, handing back their documents.
The group took the documents, thanked him, and left.
Wild Ox did not forget to weakly say, "Thanks, ugh."
Before finishing, he bent over again, pretending to retch.
White Beard watched their departing backs, shaking his head, silently thinking: this big guy is even worse off than a little girl.
...
The group helped Wild Ox walk a while, then turned into an alley.
"Here should be safe."
Lin Beichen glanced back and said.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately released their hold on Wild Ox and restored their normal expressions.
Only Wild Ox staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
