The more he spoke, the uglier his expression became, and he said firmly: "No, I want to go find Mengyue."

Seeing that Guade was about to walk away, Guade Zhuang hurried forward and pulled Guade back.

"Gold, you know how serious the Mengyue incident is. Not to mention anything else, just leading so many of us to find a water source smoothly is something no ordinary person can do. And you're just going into the woods looking for someone without any preparations. Don't let yourself get lost and not be able to come back."

"Zhuang, every minute of delay will put Mengyue in greater danger, and you're still making sarcastic remarks. I didn't ask you to go, so just don't try to stop me. Get out of here."

"Duke, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? It's not that I'm not letting you go, but I want you to go with me. That way, there's strength in numbers, and if we run into anything, we'll still be able to fight back. You wait here, I'll go get some help."

After a while, everyone who was resting knew that Mengyue had gone to the woods to relieve herself and had not returned for a quarter of an hour.

"Mengyue is a girl who has been away for such a long time. Let's go find her as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, yes. If something happens to Mengyue, how are we going to explain it to her parents and the village chief when we return?"

When Erniu heard someone say Mengyue might get into trouble, he immediately retorted, "Bah, what are you talking about? I think even if something happens to all of us, Mengyue will be fine. Look who came up with such a powerful beast repellent powder."

"I think what Erniu said is right. Mengyue is so powerful, but she was only away for a quarter of an hour. Let's wait a little longer."

"Hey, how can you say such things? Mengyue hasn't come back for so long. I think we should go look for her. It's better to be safe than sorry." Nian suggested.

…

Seeing everyone talking at once, Gude became very anxious. He ignored them and picked up his axe and left.

Zhuangzhuang had always been very confident in Mengyue, but as time went on, he became a little unsure.

Seeing that Guo De was walking so fast that he could no longer be seen, he no longer hesitated and chased after him.

The people who stayed where they were looked at each other and then hurriedly followed.

After a stick of incense, Mengyue returned to the special pit.

Seeing that there was no one in the sky, Meng Yue's heart skipped a beat. She dropped the giant snake in her hand to the ground with a thud, stirring up a lot of dust.

[Host, there are no signs of wild animals or fighting here. It seems they left on their own.]

Mengyue checked it out and agreed with the system's statement, but she didn't know why everyone didn't wait for her there.

[Tuanzi, can you find out where Erniu and the others are? ]

[Host, I can't. Although I can detect movement within a hundred meters, that's subject to certain conditions. I can only detect those who harbor ill intentions towards you or who wish to harm you. I'm looking for the villagers now. While some of them may be dissatisfied with you, they don't have any intention of harming you, so I can't find them.]

After hearing the system's explanation, Mengyue didn't know whether she should be thankful that no one wanted to harm her, or that someone was dissatisfied with her.

[Since I can't find it, forget it. I'll go look for it myself.]

After saying that, Mengyue dropped the giant snake and followed the traces of dead grass and trees, heading towards the direction where Mengde and the others had left.

[Host, the giant snake is just left here, aren't you going to take it away?]

"Looking for someone with a giant snake weighing seven or eight hundred kilograms is the least funny joke I've heard in years."

The system, unwilling to accept the giant snake's abandonment, tried to persuade it, but Mengyue, as if knowing what the system was about to say, spoke first: "Don't worry, no wild beast will take the giant snake away, and you won't miss out on a bite. If my guess is correct, the entire area within dozens of miles is this giant snake's territory. Now that Wang Qi has been killed, there will definitely be no foolish beasts coming here. Even if there is an exception, it will only be a large beast like a tiger or leopard."

[However, large beasts like tigers and leopards tend to have a strong sense of territory. Knowing that this is the giant snake's territory, they certainly won't easily come here.]

[Host, I feel relieved when you say that. Let's go find someone quickly.]

Seeing that the system listened so well to her advice and actively urged her to find someone, Mengyue felt like her own furry child had grown up and finally become sensible.

But the next moment, after hearing what the system said, Mengyue suddenly felt that she was too naive and shouldn't have had too much hope in the system.
