Gu Linxi was silent for a moment before she accepted it. She wasn't in the mood to eat, but she still needed to find Xie Siqiang to maintain her stamina. When the fruit took a bite, it felt sour and astringent, almost to the point that it couldn't be eaten at all. Gu Linxi didn't want to eat the second mouthful ever since she had taken one bite.

Seeing Gu Linxi's expression, Li TienNiu also plucked one and gave it a try before throwing the fruit away. This really was rather unpalatable. Perhaps Xie Siqian had also found this and given it a try before giving up, instead, he went to another place to continue his search. As expected, there was a bitten fruit lying on the ground.

Seeing Li TienNiu squat down and pick up something, Gu Linxi also came over to see what was going on. Her guess was the same as Li TienNiu's. In other words, the path they were currently traveling on was the right one. Xie Siqian had passed through here and then gone to another place.

”Let's go, continue searching.” Li Tienu stood up, continuing to determine the possible direction Xie Si could take, and then observed to see if there were any traces of people passing by.

Gu Linxi finished eating the sour and astringent fruit, then she picked another fruit from the tree and continued to chew on it for a while. Normally, she wouldn't eat this kind of thing, but this was a special time. Gu Linxi's actions had also surprised Li TienNiu, but he didn't say anything.

While they continued to call out Xie Siqiang's name on the mountain, Gu Linxi also didn't know how long she had been following Li TienNiu in search of him. Right now, it was already night. Gu Linxi's line of sight had many limitations. Sometimes, she wouldn't be able to clearly see the road beneath her feet, and it would even be easy for her to step on empty space. If it wasn't for Li TienNiu holding Gu Linxi back, she would have already rolled down the mountain.

Gu Linxi's expression turned increasingly unsightly. After walking for so long and still not being able to find Xie Siqiang, she began to worry that they might have missed out on Xie Siqian.

”Don't worry, he'll be fine.” Li TienNiu once again pulled Gu Lingxi, who had almost stumbled onto the ground, and comforted him.

Nodding his head, Gu Linxi's worry didn't lessen because of Li TienNiu's words. He had already been gone for so long, and had been calling out Xie Siqiang's name the entire time. Xie Siqiang, on the other hand, hadn't responded at all. How could anyone be at ease with such a situation?

Li Tieniu wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Unless Xie Siqiang appeared in front of them right now, no matter what he said, Gu Linxi wouldn't be able to relax.

At that moment, a light breeze blew. Li TienNiu's keen senses told him that there was a scent of blood in the air. He had a bad premonition as well. He turned his head to look at Gu Linxi, who seemed to not have noticed the scent in the air.

Li TienNiu frowned and lowered his voice, ”There's a bloody smell in the air.”

”Where?”

Gu Linxi's complexion immediately turned somewhat pale, and her legs began to weaken a bit as she forced herself not to collapse. Her heart was beating rapidly. If there was the smell of blood, then whose blood was it? This strong premonition could not be ignored. Even though she hadn't seen it, quite a few speculations had already flashed through her mind.

”This way.” Li TienNiu furrowed his brows and pulled Gu Linxi's hand, only to discover that Gu Linxi's entire body had seemingly become limp.
