"Lu Yao! That person..." Wanru's face turned pale. She didn't know how to describe it. She just felt that the man's eyes were so evil that it made her sick!

The man's rough hands comforted the woman's slender shoulders and said softly in her ear:

"Don't be afraid! Believe me, he will never have the chance to hurt you..."

After saying that, he glanced sinisterly at the third brother who was staring at the woman with an evil smile not far away, and a hint of ruthless murderous intent flashed in his eyes!

···

"My fellow countryman, you are really good at fighting, no wonder you were able to get out of Laoguoling!

You must be hungry after walking all this way. Here are two white flour buns. Take them and have some. ”

As the bearded man approached, he trembled as if out of reflex. Lu Yao patted the woman's shoulder soothingly, casually broke off two branches to string the buns together, and handed them to her, saying, "Be good! Roast them by the fire! I'll stick them in there for you to eat later!"

"Oh! OK!"

It's like picking up a steamed bun, walking to a fire, and putting the cold steamed bun on the fire to roast!

Satisfied with the man's knowledge!

Bearded Xing Kun came over and asked in a friendly manner: "According to your estimate, how far is it from here to Laoguoling? Can we get there tomorrow?"

The man glanced at the woman's erect ears, laughed in his heart, and said with certainty without showing it on his face: "No! It will take at least two days!"

"Two days... is too long... is there a shortcut?"

Every time I go into the mountains, I have to carry a lot of necessary equipment!

They could only bring enough food to sustain them for eight days, plus the occasional wild game they caught in the mountains. Based on their previous experience, they could last about 12-13 days!

However, not to mention the time taken up on the road, just to find the right place, they have to conduct an exploration. After confirming the target, they have to dig a hole into the interior and simply check whether it is the ancient tomb they are looking for!

I don’t know how long this process will take, so we must hurry as much as possible to gain more time!

"Yes, the time can be shortened by half, but the road is not easy to walk on..." the man said with some contempt!

Xing Kun was delighted, compared to the previous times when he didn't even find the right way, this time he was only one day's journey away from his destination, what a pleasant surprise!

As for whether the road was easy to walk on, he didn't care at all. It was just a road, how difficult could it be? If this guy could walk with a woman, what did these four grown men have to be afraid of!

So, he waved his hand and decided: "Let's go that way! Don't worry, we brothers can definitely keep up! As long as you don't play tricks, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you after it's done!"

"No problem! As long as you can keep up, I promise to take you to the heart of Laoguoling by this time tomorrow!"

Lu Yao looked at him, with a meaningful smile on his face...

After a brief conversation, Lu Yao did as he said. He broke off some thicker branches, used the naturally sharp ends of the branches, stuck two catfish in them, cleaned them, and roasted them over the fire!

Although there is no salt, the wild catfish has tender meat and no earthy smell, and it still tastes delicious!

After eating, Lu Yao leaned against a tree, held Wan Ru in his arms, and took a short rest.

The dwarf Lao Liu, who didn't believe in evil, also broke off a branch and sharpened it with a dagger. As a result, he fiddled around in the creek and caught two loaches...

The skinny man couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked him and said, "Aren't you tired? What are you doing? Why don't you take a rest..."

"Hey, Fourth Brother, don't I want to give my brothers some meat..."

"Humph! Do you have that kind of mind? Since you don't want to sleep, then quickly roll over and keep watch with Third Brother..."

The sixth brother smiled good-naturedly, threw away the stick, and saw that the place he had just cleaned up was already occupied by his eldest and fourth brothers. The third brother was supposed to be on guard tonight, but now he was leaning against a big tree. He didn't want to be crowded, so he followed his third brother's example, found a big tree to lean against, squinted his eyes and took a nap...

Between half asleep and half awake...

Suddenly a scream was heard...

Lao Liu was startled and woke up suddenly. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that his fourth brother had stood up without him knowing when, and was shaking his right hand desperately...

That is...

Scorpion! !
