Because yesterday another team came to the island for the same reason.
He was suspicious about this and asked many questions."
The woman chuckled softly and curiously asked, "So how did you answer them?"
The man, with a hint of relief, said, "We had to improvise. Fortunately, he eventually believed our explanation."
"What story did you come up with?" the woman pursued inquisitively.
The man explained, "I said they might be our comrades, also searching for rare birds. That White Beard actually believed it."
The woman asked in surprise, "That simple?"
The man laughed and said, "Of course not, I also mentioned that one of them was a big guy who didn't seem too bright. As it turned out, White Beard said there indeed was such a person, and he got airsick worse than a girl."
Upon hearing this, members of the Venomous Snake Special Team hidden in the bushes almost burst out laughing, especially Wild Ox, whose face turned extremely grim.
They struggled to suppress their laughter, fearing exposure.
At this moment, the conversation suddenly turned serious.
"How can we be sure that this isn't a trap?" the man asked seriously.
The woman, called Sandra, retorted, "What do you mean by that?"
"How did you get involved in this matter?" the man continued to ask.
Sandra explained that an American found her friend, who was scared and asked her for help.
The man warned, "You should leave this place; it's not safe here."
Suddenly, the roar of cars interrupted their conversation from afar.
"Could it be those people have arrived?" Thunder asked in a low voice.
Lin Beichen signaled for everyone to keep silent and observe the situation.
The newly arrived team was aggressive, even firing two shots as a warning.
They questioned Sandra and the man's identities and threatened them.
Old Dao asked worriedly, "Should we step in to help?"
Lin Beichen calmly said, "Hold on, someone's coming to help them. Let's watch first."
Sure enough, the leader was suddenly felled by a knife flying into his throat.
A tall, bald man rushed out, joining the previously subdued man in counter-attack.
Intense fighting and gunfire erupted, allowing the Venomous Snake Special Team members to judge from the sounds that these two were formidable fighters.
Flame, hearing the sounds of fighting outside, spoke softly.
Wild Ox scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Should we go out and help later?"
"First, let's see how they handle those people," Lin Beichen quietly listened to the fight, then slowly spoke.
He was curious about the identities of those two and what their purpose was in coming here.
Soon, they heard that the group seemingly received reinforcements, putting the two in a disadvantaged position.
Especially the woman named Sandra, seemed to have been captured by the group, possibly being taken to an unknown location.
"What should we do, should we go out and rescue them?"
Xia Luyao, listening to the increasingly chaotic sounds outside, couldn't help but ask, glancing unconsciously at Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen pondered for two seconds, then calmly said, "We can help, but there's no need to rush out."
Having not yet found Long Chuzhi, acting on impulse might reveal their identities, affecting their plan on the island.
However, he didn't mind lending those two a hand, as that group was also their target.
"How can we help without going out?" Wild Ox asked in confusion.
Lin Beichen glanced at him and then leisurely said, "Just watch."
With that, he picked some small red berries growing on nearby bushes.
The berries were only the size of soybeans, bright red and translucent.
Lin Beichen gently squeezed one, and it instantly turned into red liquid.
He dabbed some liquid and found a few tree vines among the bushes, beginning to smear it on them.
His technique was peculiar, as if he were drawing some kind of talisman.
When finished, Lin Beichen formed seals with his hands, gathering a cluster of red liquid in the palm of his left hand.
He muttered a spell softly, then waved his left hand, scattering the liquid toward the base of the vines.
Soon, the vines smeared with red liquid seemed to come alive, rapidly extending outward.
At this point, outside the iron fence, the group had already subdued the two people.
Despite their formidable skills, they were ultimately outnumbered.
"Last chance, say, who are you, and what are you doing here!"
A man with mutton chop whiskers pointed a gun at them, his face grimly asking.
The two disdainfully glanced at him without any intention of answering.
This angered the whiskered man, who raised the gun targeting one of them, preparing to shoot.
However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, he felt something strange at his feet.
He looked down, frowning tightly.
What was going on? How did his foot get tangled with tree vines? There were no tree vines around here.
The man with whiskers was puzzled, trying to shake off the vine wrapped around his foot.
But strangely, the vine not only didn't come off, but tightened around him.
"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath and bent down, trying to untangle the vine.
But with his movements, the vine seemed angered, tightly wrapping his ankle and rapidly retracting backward.
The whiskered man stumbled and fell to the ground, being dragged along the ground by the vine.
"What the hell is this thing!" he cursed loudly.
His companions were stunned by the scene, then attempted to rescue him.
But to their surprise, they found vines tangled around their feet too, unnoticed until now.
Immediately, they were dragged just like the man with whiskers and began cursing in panic.
They attempted to cut the vines with knives, but every time the blade neared a vine, it would release and then wrap around another part of their body.
