Chapter 77: Sneak Attack (2/2)

Their bodies had the thick smell of blood and sweat, much thicker than the ones on their body. If there was really a stream by their cave which allowed them to bathe, why would the smell be so strong? It was clear that her words were merely lies to Jade, the question was, why would she lie? The only reason would be that she was afraid the group would not follow them to the cave and had thus replied in this manner saying that there was a stream by the cave which would allow them to take a bath. To Jade and the girls, an area that could allow them to bathe was a very tempting proposition.

Su Yu had just thought of this when Lei Rui suddenly whispered from the side: “Su Yu.” before walking beside him and continuing: “Su Yu, this female foreigner must be lying, look at her, it’s clear that she hasn’t taken a bath for days. She claims that there is a stream by the cave that we can bathe in, that must be a lie.”

Su Yu looked at Lei Rui and praised in his heart that she was quick witted. The two foreigners clearly did not understand mandarin, although they could see Lei Rui and Su Yu conversing, they did not know what the two were discussing about.

Su Yu had a smile on his face as he nodded his head in a friendly manner towards them. He did not leak an ounce of suspicion on his face as he softly said: “Let’s be careful, I don’t know why they’re lying but…… it seems that we can’t trust these two people.”

Su Yu looked at the floor which was covered with bags of food and thought that these two people must have plans. If the couple wanted to mount a sneak attack on them, could it be for these food?

No, they were normal people. They should know that by joining the group, everyone would have a better chance of finding an exit. Otherwise, even if they killed the entire group and obtained all the food, merely eating without doing anything else the food would surely deplete. In that case, what were they thinking? Why would Jennifer lie to Jade, did they have any ill intentions?

Su Yu continued to contemplate on this matter, he was unsure if the couple had any ill intentions but his wariness of them had increased. Jade was elated as she picked up the bags from the floor and shouted: “Everyone let’s go, there’s a place for us to bathe.”

Su Yu noticed a happy expression flash across the couples face and his mind churned before saying: “It’s already too dark, let’s wait for morning before heading over.”

Jade was a bit unhappy but when Su Yu glanced at her, she did not say anything and placed the bag of food back onto the floor.

Jennifer noticed that they had placed the bags back to the ground and asked amazedly in english: “What’s wrong? Not going anymore?”

Ma Zi Ye spoke in english to explain: “The sky is already dark, let’s wait for tomorrow morning before heading over. It seems like the sky will become bright soon anyway.”

“Oh…….” Jennifer answered but a disappointed expression could be seen on her face as York laughed: “This is fine, everyone let’s wait for morning.” As he said this, he walked towards Su Yu and continued: “Do the few of you have cigarettes? Since coming to this forest, the thing that’s hardest to beat is that there aren’t cigarettes.”

Ma Zi Ye who was by the side helped translate what he said.

“I have some.” Zhang Zhong Mou took a packet of cigarettes from his bosom and threw it to him: “For you.” His bag of food still had other cigarettes and he was not that distressed over a packet of cigarettes.

York took a stick out and placed it in his mouth, a look of elation appeared on his face as he walked up to Su Yu and asked: “Do you have a lighter?”

Although Su Yu’s english was rather bad, he could understand simple words and had understood what York was asking. He shook his head and was about to reply when York suddenly smashed towards the back of Su Yu’s head.

The distance between the two was rather close and York had suddenly attacked, the people in the surroundings did not understand what was going on and York’s fist had already reached the back of Su Yu’s head.

This fist was simply too fast and as York threw his fist out, thick black fur covered his hand, by the time it reached the back of Su Yu’s head, his right arm had already thoroughly swelled into a big arm, this huge arm was covered in black fur, each strand of hair was like steel thorns, from a glance it seemed like an enormous cactus.
