Seeing the cave in front of them, Allen and the others hesitated. Even the angry John slowed down and turned to look at the others.

Allen and the others lacked social experience, but that didn’t mean they were idiots. The caves beside these lakes were usually the entrance to underground rivers, and with the suspicious actions of the Fjords, they were even more certain.

This type of cave was three meters tall, but in fact, if one waded farther into the water, the underwater part would no longer be able to stand, and the water inside the cave was bottomless. If they continued to chase after him, it would be tantamount to fighting the Fjords in the water.

No matter how much Allen and the others depended on Qin Lun and Donald, they would not naively believe that the two of them could cover everyone in this situation.

“You guys stay here. Donald and I will go take a look!” Qin Lun greeted them and chased after Fatty.

Hearing Qin Lun’s words, Allen and the others heaved a sigh of relief, and a look of guilt appeared on their faces.

“You must be careful!” Natasha ran a few steps and shouted at Qin Lun.

Indeed, the selfish instinct of untrained humans is revealed in the face of danger and the choice of companions. All the ethical principles formed in human society are only based on the survival and reproduction needs of human beings.

Even though they were known as intelligent civilizations, they were still unable to get rid of their selfish nature. Humanity was evil, so it was right! Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with mockery.

Allen and the others might think that they were a burden, and chasing after them wouldn’t be of much use. However, this was just an excuse. No matter how small the strength was, it wouldn’t be useless. Sometimes, the turning point of the battle was the addition of this little bit of strength.

In the end, they followed the steps Qin Lun had given them and didn’t chase after them. It was only a matter of weighing their interests. He had used all sorts of reasons to convince himself that on the balance of his own life and that of his companions, one end had overwhelmed the other, that was all.

Qin Lun did not despise them because of this. In his eyes, this was human nature. People like him or Hill were abnormal. Their paranoia and values are twisted morbid and are the main reason why they are regarded as non-human.

The analysis of Allen and the others only lasted for an instant in Qin Lun’s mind, and then he turned his attention to Fatty, who was in front of him, with a meaningful smile on his face.

The Fjords quickly approached the cave. When the water reached their knees, they immediately fell into the water and their speed increased several times. Most of their bodies are hidden in the water, and spikes and long scales on their backs create S-shaped ripples on the surface of the water.

Fanny and Steinson were carried on their backs by the two sea monsters, their noses and mouths out of the water, their slightly heaving chests showing that they were still alive. The sea monsters seemed to have consciously saved their lives. If it wasn’t for the storage of fresh ingredients, then their intentions would have been quite sinister.

“Bait?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he thought with interest.

Donald chased after him quickly. With his fat body, he was actually not pulled down by the sea monster that used the swimming style. He even slightly closed the distance. However, when he and Qin Lun arrived near the cave, they were surprised to discover that there were actually a few small sampans at the entrance of the cave.

These small sampans were very old, not like the tools that the travel agency had placed here for cave sightseeing, but more like things that had been abandoned here in the past. They were tied to the reef at the entrance of the cave. Although there was a lot of water in the ship, it seemed that the bottom of the ship did not leak and it was still stubbornly floating on the surface of the water.

“Chris, hurry up!” Donald did not directly jump into the sampan filled with lake water, but pulled the side of the sampan and shook it hard.

At this time, Fatty displayed an extraordinary amount of strength, causing the sampan to almost stand up horizontally. Most of the water in the lake was poured out, leaving a little unaffected.

However, Qin Lun hesitated, as if he didn’t really want to follow Donald into the cave. When Fatty saw this, his gaze darkened. He didn’t wait for him anymore and rode the sampan to chase after him alone. He disappeared into the darkness of the cave in a short while.

Only when Donald’s figure disappeared did Qin Lun speed up his movements and chased after him with a sampan like Fatty.

The cave near the Cadillac wall was so deep that no cracks could be seen on the top of the cave and no sunlight could be cast. A hundred meters into the cave, the light dimmed like night.

There was no sunlight here, and the temperature was a few degrees lower than the outside world. Because of the difference in temperature, the cave was filled with a thin layer of mist, giving people a gloomy and cold feeling.

The Yin Yang Fish pattern slowly appeared in Qin Lun’s left eye. With the help of the gaze halo, he was basically able to control the situation within 50 meters of his surroundings. Of course, both Apostle capacities are clearly weakened to varying degrees compared to other mission worlds.

Donald’s sampan was nowhere to be found, and the surroundings were completely silent, leaving only the sound of dripping water from the top of the cave and the sound of paddling. After traveling another two to three hundred meters, Qin Lun finally made a new discovery.

When the cave came to an end, it was blocked by a mountain wall in front of it. Whether it was the Fjords or Donald who entered, they were gone, leaving only Fatty’s sampan rippling on the edge of the cave wall.

Qin Lun’s gaze flickered. The cave was already quite low here, and the top was less than two meters tall. Using the pupil technique to see through the water, one could see that the depth of the water had already exceeded 50 meters, and the wall blocking the path in front of them had disappeared more than 30 meters under the water, revealing the entrance to the dark river.

The Fjord sea monster and Donald should have entered the Dark River. Qin Lun could vaguely guess that the length of the Dark River’s drowning part was not too long, or that the Fjord sea monster had a way to ensure the survival of the hostages. Otherwise, the two hostages would have died without a doubt.

Although this speculation was very unreasonable, since the Fjords had lured the two of them here, they could no longer worry about the survival rate of the bait, but judging from the plot, this was possible.

Even though Kieran’s participation had changed the Wilson team’s plot line and the choice of death was different, the later plot lines weren’t damaged too much. Fanny and Steinson, the two original plot characters, shouldn’t die so easily.

“Logically speaking, Donald might have already fought against the Fjords” Qin covered his face with one hand and a cold smile appeared on Lun’s face. “Excluding the small probability that Fatty was a high-level expert, he could only be a Samsara, not Apostle!”

Thinking of this, Qin Lun suddenly felt that he was no longer interested in the future development. He heavily sighed, “Really, dead Fatty is too anxious. Should we step in? This is too obvious. He has no sense of art at all!”

“Forget it. It’s good that we meet the conditions for returning first. If this place is too boring, we’ll be able to return to the Broken Star Sky immediately.” Qin Lun shrugged and jumped into the lake.

After arriving here, Qin Lun had basically solved Donald’s puzzle, and he felt that the accuracy rate should be very high.

This Fatty was not Apostle, but a courageous elite Samsara. He didn’t choose to be a federal agent or a reporter like the others and participate in the plot from the side. Instead, he boarded the plane that had already exploded and came into direct contact with Allen and other major characters in the plot.

Fatty’s plot to Arcadia National Park was successful. However, things usually didn’t change according to the will of humans. After meeting Qin Lun, he found that his plan had been greatly obstructed.

The first was the Wilson team on the second storyline. On the night of the Fjords’ attack, the minor characters of the two teams, Susan and John, did not meet, resulting in the death of Wilson and Luke, the main storyline characters of the other team, and the unknown factor of Qin Lun.

If Wilson’s team was crippled, it would definitely affect the completion of the Samsara quest. Fatty’s original plan was accidentally destroyed by Qin Lun. However, at this moment, Fatty wasn’t sure if Qin Lun was a reincarnation of the hostile storyline.

When Qin Lun killed a Fjord sea monster and showed no intention of chasing after it, Fatty estimated that he would be determined to be an enemy at that time. After all, if Fanny and Steinson were allowed to die, their mission could collapse under the current situation where the two storyline crews had suffered huge losses.

Once Donald was determined to belong to the Samsara side, the other puzzles were solved.

Fatty shouldn’t be alone. He must have a few companions secretly helping him. As the plot progressed to this point, following the direction of the Fjord Sea Monster’s escape, Fatty’s companions could easily find this cave in advance and lay in ambush in front of the drowning part of the Dark River.

This would explain why Donald ignored the fact that he was chasing the Fjords into the cave. With the help of other Samsaras, he didn’t need to be afraid of a few Fjords. His companions hadn’t boarded the plane, so they wouldn’t receive the attention of the G.o.ds of Death.

Donald’s only weakness was that he was too anxious to arouse Qin Lun’s suspicion. However, there was nothing he could do about it. If he wanted to avoid Alan and the others’ line of sight and fight Qin Lun, there would probably be no more suitable venue than this.

Of course, there was also a very small possibility that Donald was a high-level reincarnation expert. He was confident that he could resist the karma of the Reaper Game and save Fanny and Steinson.

This probability was clearly close to zero. Even if he was digging deeper into the storyline of the world, there was no need for him to take such a risk.

At this moment, a cave appeared on the right side of the cave, and a half-moon-shaped open space appeared on the right side of the cave.

There were four people sitting or standing in this open space. One of them was Fatty, who was sitting on a rock with a golden saber. It was Donald!

However, at this moment, Fatty’s face was ferocious and his eyes shone with a cold light. How could he still look as foolish as before?

He stepped on a large headless corpse with his right foot. It was the largest of the remaining Fjords. The other three small sea monsters had also apparently turned into corpses. The half-moon-shaped beach was covered in blood, and there were sea monster remains everywhere.
