Captain Hu immediately said, "We need to split up. The fastest person will escort the Lost Object to camp, while the rest of us stay behind to block any pursuers."
Captain Lü seemed to agree with this suggestion.
Captain Hai, however, immediately said, "No, we can't split up."
Captain Hu said impatiently, "Captain Hai, have you lost your mind? If we all stick together now, none of us will make it out!"
Captain Hai looked at the two of them and said, "No, I have a better idea." He then waved to one of the guides, gesturing for him to come over.
The guide looked at him, then at the box in his hand, and walked over very cautiously.
Once the guide was close, Captain Hai shoved the box into his arms, stared into his eyes, and said, "I'll make one last deal with you. You're familiar with the roads here. Just get this to camp, and Dashun will trade you for anything you want in the future."
The guide froze. His eyes flickered for a moment before he clutched the box tightly.
