Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 162 161, Missing Soldier

```

Originally, Li Yinuo planned to talk to Qing Huai about joining forces to kill the Jindai family.

But the sudden doubts silenced her.

Moreover, ever since Uncle Li Dong appeared in the wilderness, destroying the Jindaiʼs alliance marriage became no longer her focus.

Now, all of Li Yinuoʼs thoughts were on Uncle Li Dong and Qing Chen.

Qing Chen had speculated that Li Yinuo might have come to the wilderness under Uncle Li Dongʼs instructions, but in fact, she hadnʼt.

Truth be told, Li Yinuo herself was somewhat flattered; she knew that Uncle, being deliberate in his actions, brought the boy before her so she could get acquainted with him, allowing him to seek her out should he need assistance in the future.

For Li Yinuo, the fact that an existence like Uncle Li Dong trusted her was in itself a matter of great honor.

She guessed whether the boy had already passed the Knightʼs life-and-death challenge, and fantasized about getting closer to Qing Chen, wondering if she could get him to speak to Uncle Li Dong on her behalf and let her try walking the path of a Knight too...

Even if that were not possible, since Uncle Li Dong could take Wang Xiaojiu as a disciple in place of his teacher, perhaps Qing Chen could also take a disciple in his teacherʼs stead...

For Li Yinuo, compared to matters such as these, what was the Jindai familyʼs business worth?!

At the moment, two members of the Jindai family were still with the Autumn Hunting Team, and after everyone dealt with their physiological needs, Jindaiʼs eyes sparkled as he looked at Qing Huai.

”Father, is this Qing Huai?” Jindai looked at Qing Huaiʼs sculpture-like face and then thought of his current demeanor.

When other young nobles had to hold back their urges, he was strolling leisurely in the Taboo Land, with more than twenty loyal subordinates by his side...

It must be said that Qing Huaiʼs timing with the sealed bag was impeccable.

The team had oil drums to use a couple days ago, but there were too many people, and the drums were filled with urine by yesterday.

Next, Li Yinuo ordered everyone to stop drinking water, which made everyone exceptionally tired at this moment.

At this instant, Jindai surely thought highly of Qing Huai.

The woods were noisy because, due to meeting up with Qing Huai, the tense nerves of those young nobles had finally relaxed a little.

Everyone shared the joy of a narrow escape as if they had been saved.

However, just then, Wang Bingxu, the highest-ranking person there, suddenly said in surprise, ”Huh, why have the sounds of soldiers digging in the woods stopped? Speak up, those in the woods!”

But the soldiers that should have been digging and filling the holes in the woods did not respond.

Everyone grew alert!

Li Yinuo slowly walked towards the woods nearby, with Wang Bingxu following closely behind her.

The two of them arrived at the edge of the hole and were stunned—the hole had been dug, but the two soldiers were missing!

”Miss Yino, thereʼs a smell of blood,” said Wang Bingxu calmly.

Li Yinuo nodded, ”Theyʼre probably dead.”

Their voices discussing this carried through the woods.

Everyone in the Autumn Hunting Teamʼs faces changed; they instinctively huddled together, forming a circle, warily observing the Taboo Land that was gradually cloaked by night.

In the woods, Li Yinuo showed no fear; she carefully looked down at the ground and found peculiar blood traces.

The blood trail extended deep into the woods, disappearing into the darkness.

Li Yinuo squatted next to the filled pit and stared at the ground: ”This is strange, two people were killed at the same time, yet we didnʼt hear any sounds while only a few dozen meters apart, could we have triggered some rule of the Taboo Land?”

At that moment, Qing Huai also came over, and he said to Wang Bingxu, ”The Taboo Land is indeed dangerous, with fierce beasts and plants everywhere. Could we ask Mr. Wang to make a move and check the traces of those two soldiers in the woods?”

```

Wang Bingxu thought for a moment and replied, ”Itʼs possible, but...”

Before he could finish, Li Yinuo, who was crouching beside the pit, crushed a leaf.

She dusted off her hands, stood up, and grabbed the arm of the B-Class Expert, and said to Qing Huai, ”The Taboo Land is too dangerous, the two soldiers are negligible, itʼs better for Wang Bingxu to stay with the team to protect more people.”

After speaking, Li Yinuo also said to Nan Gengchen in the crowd, ”Sweetheart, from now on you stay by Wang Bingxuʼs side, he will protect you.”

Nan Gengchen sighed and resignedly responded, ”Oh, alright.”

Wang Bingxu heard the implication in Li Yinuoʼs words, he silently looked at Qing Huai, knowing that his clanʼs young lady did not trust this Qing Huai.

Therefore, the middle-aged man no longer planned to enter the woods in pursuit of the murderer but instead firmly protected four people.

Li Yinuo, Nan Gengchen, Xiao Gong, and one was surprisingly the Time Traveler who had chosen to seduce with openness, Zhou Xuan.

Qing Huai watched this scene and frowned deeply. He suddenly shouted, ”Seventh squad leader, gather everyone! Check the numbers!”

But everyone quickly discovered that the team, which should have consisted of 22 soldiers, now had only 18 left.

Everyone internally cursed, the disappearance wasnʼt just two people, but four!

Li Yinuo, Qing Huai, and Wang Bingxu each checked the burial pits one by one, only to discover another pit just like the one before.

There was blood on the edge of the pit, but the soldier beside it had vanished!

A chill suddenly rose in Qing Huaiʼs heart. The two people previously considered deserters probably hadnʼt fled...

The young man who wanted to kill him had already caught up!

That person had killed over a hundred of his subordinates, then killed Cao Wei, and now he had caught up to continue his killing!

Just now, while the young aristocrats were causing a ruckus, the perpetrator had killed four more people right under their noses!

This had been the opponentʼs strategy all along, startlingly effective!

But the question was, how was the opponent able to kill people inside the Taboo Land designated as ”002”?

Wasnʼt there a rule in the Taboo Land that ”killing was not allowed”?

Or perhaps, were the soldiers who were dragged away not yet dead?

Moreover, how did the opponent, who was just an Ordinary Person, suddenly possess the strength to overpower soldiers?

Wait, Qing Huai suddenly thought of something. In this ”002” Taboo Land, there just happened to be a place that could enhance oneʼs strength!

In an instant, everyone fell silent as the grave.

Li Yinuo calmly surveyed the people around her, she alone perhaps knew the truth at this time.

The leaf she had just crushed beside the burial pit was an Autumn Leaf Knife embedded in the soil.

The young man had deliberately nailed the Autumn Leaf Knife beside the pit, which was in fact a way of revealing his identity, hinting at an inside-outside collaboration to kill Qing Huai.

Now, she finally understood why Qing Huaiʼs field unit had reduced numbers.

The other side had never managed to complete their mission, they had been forced to abandon it!

Li Yinuo thought to herself: Earlier, she felt that person looked harmless enough, not very tough, but in a blink of an eye, that young man was close to wiping out all of Qing Huaiʼs men!

However, she was curious, what did this young man want to do now?
