"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after them!"
Zhang Chao and Song Ping each led a few people and chased after them into the distance. Not long after they left, Zhang Mengmeng jumped down from a big tree.
"Zhang Chao, Song Ping, you asked for this."
After saying this, Zhang Mengmeng went in the opposite direction and disappeared in a short while.
An hour later, Zhang Chao and the others returned to the cave.
"What do we do now?"
Song Ping asked worriedly.
"Make it cold!"
Zhang Chao tossed away his cigarette butt:
"But she should be fine. There are dangers everywhere here. She might already be dead."
Song Ping shook his head. He didn't think so, or rather, he dared not take any chances.
"What you said is indeed possible, but what if he didn't die?"
"If she finds Lu Yuan and tells us what happened, we're finished."
"So we can't stay here any longer. We need to take action. If we can find Lu Yuan before Zhang Mengmeng, we can use the 'victim accusing the victim first' tactic."
"If Zhang Mengmeng finds Lu Yuan first, we'll have no choice but to hide and stay here from now on."
Zhang Chao narrowed his eyes, as if a single word had awakened him from his dream.
Song Ping's last words reminded him.
If they die, and their families are not well cared for.
Then wouldn't they have died in vain?
Or perhaps they didn't die, they just didn't go back, so they would only think we were dead, which is why we failed to complete the mission.
On the contrary, they won't do anything to them?
In other words, whether they live or die, or whether they complete their mission, ultimately has no impact.
As for family, let fate decide.
I can't even take care of myself now, how can I take care of my family?
Besides, who knows, maybe after I die, my wife will end up in someone else's bed in a few years.
As for his parents, they are so old, they will die sooner or later, and there's nothing he can do about it anyway.
"Song Ping, have you thought about this?"
"We can't go back to Earth. Going against Lu Yuan is no different from courting death."
"If that's the case, why should we risk our lives for them?"
“Let’s find a place to hide, wait for Lu Yuan to destroy all the passages here, then leave, and the rest of us will live here.”
"We'll find a relatively safe place then. With just the few of us, how can we possibly survive? What do you think?"
Song Ping nodded; in fact, he was also considering this issue.
"Zhang Chao, you're absolutely right."
“Let’s find a place to hide from him for three to five months. By then, Lu Yuan will definitely be gone.”
"It's a pity that Zhang Mengmeng ran away. There are only a few of us grown men here, and not a single woman."
Song Ping finished speaking and sighed.
At this moment, Zhang Chao spoke:
"Song Ping, there are quite a few monkeys here. Monkeys and humans have similar genes, right?"
"I think we can give it a try!"
After one experiment, Luo Qingcheng and others came to a conclusion.
That is, he is still as abnormal as ever, even more so than before.
You could tell just by looking at the four women lying listlessly in the cave.
"Brother Yuan, after we get back this time, I'll find a few more sisters, otherwise I'll be exhausted sooner or later."
"Also, don't disturb me, I need to rest."
After Luo Qingcheng finished speaking, she closed her eyes immediately; she needed to rest and recover her strength.
"Yes, I have trouble speaking now, I just want to sleep."
“Brother-in-law, I really wonder now how my sister managed to put up with it before.”
Zhang Xiaorui was also feeling weak all over, but when she raised this question, someone immediately answered it for her.
"Xiao Rui, your brother-in-law used to be impressive, but how can he compare to him now?"
"If he were that capable back then, would your sister still have the energy to go out..."
Luo Qingcheng stopped there.
She forgot that Lu Yuan didn't like people bringing up the past.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan wasn't angry. After all, so much time had passed, and Zhang Xiaorui had already compensated him.
After calculating the time, they had been there for more than ten days, and it was time to take action.
"Alright, everyone, let's take a break."
"We'll set off as soon as it's light."
Over the next three days, Lu Yuan and his group destroyed a total of seven or eight passages.
They had pets of all sizes, and also managed to tame dozens of S-rank pets and Yazi's two brothers.
They are, respectively, [bi àn]狴犴 and Suānni!
Lu Yuan was overjoyed. With his pets alone, he could easily sweep away all the monsters and zombies on Earth.
Of course, those from the ocean won't work.
"Meow!"
"What's wrong?"
Is my Bai Ling hungry again?
"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon!"
Lu Yuan was roasting an unknown magical beast, assuming that Bai Ling was craving something sweet again.
"Master, I smell human scent."
Lu Yuan was taken aback, then patted Bai Ling's head:
"You're trying to trick me into going out to see something so you can sneak some food, aren't you?"
Bai Ling felt wronged. Although it had this thought, what it said this time was all true.
“Master, I didn’t lie to you.”
"It really is the aura of a human, but it's very weak. They must be seriously injured."
"If I lie, may my owner get diarrhea!"
Lu Yuan was speechless. Bai Ling actually used him as a sworn enemy?
"Is someone really there?"
Bai Ling nodded.
"Of course it's true! I'm super cute! How could I lie to my owner?"
Lu Yuan was starting to believe it. Although Bai Ling often lied to him, she would occasionally tell him a few truths.
So he handed the roasted meat in his hand to Luo Qingcheng, who was standing next to him.
"Qingcheng, you do the grilling, I'll go check on things."
Lu Yuan picked up Bai Ling and walked towards the outside of the cave.
The reason I held Bai Ling was mainly because I was afraid that this guy was lying again.
I'm alright here, Bai Ling knows to keep a low profile.
Once I leave, I reckon when he comes back, there won't be any barbecue left, not even a bone.
Along the way, Bai Ling kept pointing in one direction. Lu Yuan walked in the direction Bai Ling pointed with some doubt. After walking about several dozen meters, he smelled a faint smell of blood.
It seems Bai Ling wasn't lying.
Master, I didn't lie to you, did I?
Lu Yuan patted Bai Ling's head, and the latter seemed to enjoy it.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the injured person was a woman, who was quite attractive and had a good figure, but her back and chest were covered in wounds.
These are clearly scratch marks left by some kind of animal. It's quite a miracle that they managed to get here alive.
Lu Yuan checked his breathing with his hand; he was still breathing.
It seems the opponent's spirit master level is not low, otherwise he would have died long ago with such severe injuries.
Lu Yuan released Bai Ling, picked up the woman, and headed towards the cave.
"Xiao Rui, try to see if you can save her. She's a great case study."
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
In fact, Lu Yuan had an even simpler method: simply kill the woman and then use a resurrection spell to finish her off.
