As a decisive and ruthless person, Su Hai had many strange habits!

Now, seeing their expressions, Su Hai was truly very happy...

Because he really enjoyed watching others hate him, but couldn't do anything about it.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Gu Dong was the first to snap out of it, giving him a blank look and questioning...

Earlier, Gu Dong had scrutinized him, realizing he didn't recognize him at all...

Thus, Gu Dong was full of vigilance towards him.

Because Gu Dong felt the timing of this person's appearance was just too strange, as if he had been following them all along.

Hearing Gu Dong's cautious tone, Su Hai casually smiled. In that moment, he lazily said, "Don't be nervous! I won't really do anything to you, right!"

Saying so, Su Hai shrugged, indicating he held no malice whatsoever.

For ordinary people, they would surely be fooled by his casual manner...

But Gu Dong was no ordinary person; he had experienced many situations, naturally seeing through his thoughts...

With a cold laugh, Gu Dong directly questioned again, "Stop talking nonsense, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"You sure like to dig deep, huh? Fine, since you want to know, I'll tell you! My name is Su Hai. Oh, and those underwhelming people you met earlier were my lackeys!"

Hearing Su Hai mention those so-called underperformers, Gu Dong knew it referred to Su Ye and the others who were defeated by Xiaobei.

Thus, Gu Dong realized Su Hai was likely here for revenge.

...

"Oh dear! Your expressions seem a bit off! I just said, you don't need to be afraid, as I don't currently plan on taking you out."

Speaking lightly, Su Hai continued to walk forward with a serene expression...

Su Hai had been honest earlier; at this moment, he truly didn't plan to make a move directly.

Because he wanted to first carefully observe the Array Xiaobei had set up before leaving.

Earlier, when they encountered the sand scorpion, Xiaobei had casually set up an Array, and it was that Array that allowed them to avoid the endless sand scorpions.

That Array was completely impenetrable to him.

Hence, he knew Xiaobei had considerable proficiency in Arrays, leading him to worry that the Array set up by Xiaobei was also very strong, so he planned to take a good look...

Gu Dong had lived many years and truly understood the human heart; thus, in the instant Su Hai stepped forward, Gu Dong understood his intention.

Frowning coldly, Gu Dong spoke icily, "Stop there! Another step, and you'll regret it!"

Just as Su Hai was about to carefully observe the Array set up by Xiaobei, he heard Gu Dong's emotionless threat and frowned deeply, "Regret it? Come on then! I'd like to see how you make me regret it!"

Su Hai was wary of the Array, not of anyone else, so if Gu Dong chose to attack, it would actually make him quite happy.

Because Su Hai knew if Gu Dong wanted to attack him, he'd have to move out of the Array's surrounding area...

Hearing the cold provocation, Gu Dong frowned deeply...

He really wanted to do something at that moment, but after a thought, he gave up because he knew attacking now would only play into his scheme...

"Damn it! Not provoked, huh? Seems this old fellow really has some wits!"

Seeing Gu Dong regain his calmness, Gu Dong swore silently in his heart!

Earlier, he thought if he could provoke Gu Dong, he could take them down one by one, but now it seemed that plan wasn't likely to come true.

"That damned old man really knows how to hold back!"

After silently cursing again, Su Hai began to closely observe the Array set up by Xiaobei.

Soon, a faint hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

He felt this way because he found the Array before him to be quite ordinary.

"Impossible! Even I could set up such a simple Array; there's no reason Xiaobei would set up such an Array!"

Incredulous!

At this moment, Su Hai just couldn't believe it...

Because of this hesitation, Su Hai continued to scrutinize...

Seeing this, Gu Dong squinted coldly...

Gu Dong didn't know what he was now thinking, but he remained calm once more!

Because he knew he really didn't need to rush, for Xiaobei's Array would certainly ensure his safety.

...

Five minutes later, Su Hai's eyes were bloodshot...

At this moment, he confirmed that the Array before him was indeed a very simple one...

"Xiaobei must have been out of tricks then, to set up such a simple Array, but it plays right into my hands!"

Laughing excitedly, Su Hai greedily gazed at them...

Soon, Su Hai, ever so composed, spoke coolly: "Everyone, I actually mean you no harm. As long as you're willing to hand over the treasure map, we can cooperate and even split the treasure equally!"

Knowing he could easily dismantle the Array, Su Hai was utterly composed at this point!

To him, a little chat with them now seemed prudent.

If they truly wished to cooperate with him, all would be well!

If the talks indeed broke down, he would utterly destroy the Array, plunging them into utter despair.

"Treasure map? What treasure map!"

Hearing Su Hai mention the treasure map, Gu Dong felt a chill in his heart!

Before, he sensed this guy wasn't here with good intentions, and now, he was proved right...

When Gu Dong directly denied it, Su Hai sneered, "Old man, I'm trying to discuss things properly now; if you just flatly deny it, it's hard for the conversation to continue!"

Frowning slightly, Gu Dong responded icily again, "I still don't understand what you're talking about, as I simply don't have the treasure map you're looking for!"

"You stubborn fool who won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Laughing ominously, he took out a fragmented map from his chest.

After waving it before Gu Dong, Su Hai spoke grimly: "Years ago, I obtained this fragmented map! After that, I began searching for the treasure marked on it! But I never found it until now."

After taking a deep look at the fragmented map, Gu Dong said expressionlessly, "You didn't find it, which means something's wrong with your map, what's it got to do with me?"

"Yes! The map is indeed very fragmented, which is why I didn't find anything; it's really the map's fault!"

At this point, Su Hai discarded the fragmented map.

Afterward, he looked at Gu Dong with sparkling eyes and said lowly, "But before, I heard that you unearthed a chest of Spirit Stones here. You know, Spirit Stones couldn't possibly appear in a place like this, so I suspect your box of Spirit Stones was found in some treasure land."

After hearing his deduction, Gu Dong squinted, "Is that why you secretly tracked us earlier?"

"That's right! Earlier, I had been following you, and now I finally have the chance to talk it over with you, so you shouldn't keep denying it, as we're both understanding people, after all."

Detecting the sarcasm in his tone, Gu Dong squinted his eyes.

He knew there was no point in continuing to deny it now.

Thinking it through, Gu Dong replied with detached indifference: "Sorry, but I have no intention of bargaining, so get lost while you still can."

Gu Dong knew that cooperating with him was tantamount to plotting with a tiger.

Under these circumstances, Gu Dong naturally wouldn't cooperate with him.

Thus, without even giving it a thought, Gu Dong refused outright.

Originally in a good mood, Su Hai's smile gradually faded upon hearing such a blunt rejection...
