C159 (1/2)

If that Xu Man in the Underwater Dragon Palace was really Dong Hai in disguise, then what was his motive for doing so? Could it really be as Elder Zhang said, to eradicate the various forces?

But if he really had such a goal, why would he have coaxed Liu Jie to do something like plotting against his own son?

At this point, I found myself turning into another dead end. The fog in front of me prevented me from seeing what was behind it.

When we had rested enough, we set out in the direction of the valley we had seen, and it was not until noon that we began to light a fire in a more open area.

Since all the rations we had brought with us were in his backpack, and he was nowhere to be seen, Broad couldn't carry his flint into the woods.

I didn't know a thing about hunting, and if I went I might cause more trouble for the board, so I just stayed and started a fire.

With that barrier, I didn't have to worry about those archers and snakes chasing me here. Besides, I had a gun on me, so when the fire was ready, there wouldn't be any wild beasts bothering me.

Not long after, the big board returned. Having learned his lesson from the last time, he didn't dare to fight any more ferocious beasts. Instead, he only beat a few pheasants.

Although the roasted mountain chicken is not as fragrant as the roasted wild boar meat, I still couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when I smelled the fragrance!

However, when the large board took the roasted pheasant from the fire, a strange feeling of being watched suddenly arose in my heart!

He stood up and looked at the surrounding forest. Although there was only the sound of some birds in the forest, this kind of silence was natural. It was not the kind of silence where wild beasts would be around.

”Brother Zhou, what's wrong?”

Seeing that my expression wasn't right, Big Board put down the pheasant in his hand and walked in front of me.

”It's nothing. It feels like someone is staring at us!”

Hearing this, Dazhi raised his head and sniffed the air. After a long time, he frowned and said, ”I seem to have smelled that smell again. It seems to be the scent of a wild beast, but it's also mixed with perfume!”

Just as I said that, I suddenly saw a figure dressed in a colorful outfit flashing past the depths of the forest!

”It's her?”

Hearing my words, Big Board immediately turned around and looked behind him. But when he turned around, the figure had already disappeared into the depths of the forest.

”Who is it?”

After seeing no one, the boss directly grabbed my head and asked.

”It's the figure that I saw earlier at the place where there was a tent.” It seems like it's a female, and it seems like she has some ability, but she seems to have suffered some sort of shock. She has been following us but isn't willing to show herself! ”

Hearing my words, Big Board became even more confused, ”Who cares!?” Anyway, she won't harm us, so just follow her! ”

As he said that, he picked up the roasted chicken on the floor and passed one to me.

I took the roasted chicken from the big board and took out a dagger. After splitting the roasted chicken in half, I took half of it and walked towards the direction where the figure came from.

”Don't worry, we aren't bad people! If you're afraid of us, then follow us! After we take care of some things, we'll take you out of the forest! ”This is the wild chicken we roasted. I left it here for you. If you're hungry, come and get it yourself!”
