Chapter 16 Uncle, Do These Things Eat People? (2/2)
His voice paused a moment before he continued. ”We have more important things to take care of on our trip. So do not stir up unnecessary trouble and this matter ends here. Do not bring it up again.”
”Yes!” Although deeply disgruntled, they could do nothing but agree to it. Afterall, compared to the mission at hand on this trip, the matter with the kid was really insignificant.
When she recalled the purpose of the mission at hand, the young girl finally swallowed back her resentment and rage and then asked in excited antic.i.p.ation. ”Second Uncle, have mythical beasts really been born into the Nine Entrapment Woods?”
”Mm, I believe that the respective families will get wind of the news in turn and come to this Nine Entrapment Woods or they might already be somewhere around. So, we will have to move fast to not miss out on the opportunity.” The middle aged man nodded as his gaze turned to look deep into the Nine Entrapment Woods, his eyes strongly determined.

Next, she then retrieved the gold ingots and stuffed them in after that, before finally tying the ”bundle sack” tightly across her body.
Although the clothes she was wearing were the tattered clothes of a beggar, she had worn several layers of them, hence, removing a piece or two of them did not matter much to her.
But, when she finished tying up the bundle and lifted her head, she was suddenly startled. From in between the trees surrounding them, she saw several sharp fanged unidentifiable b.e.s.t.i.a.l forms, their bodies big as oxen, stepping out warily, and she blinked her eyes as she asked: ”Uncle, do these things eat people?”
