Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, smiled helplessly, and took the clothes from An Qingyu.

"Thanks."

Although Lin Qiye's physical fitness has been greatly enhanced after being promoted to the "Chuan" realm, and has completely exceeded the scope of ordinary people, he is still a mortal body after all. Under the invasion of severe cold for a long time, his movements are inevitably a little stiff.

What's more, frost is very easy to form in the forest at dawn. If you only wear a thin shirt, it will soon be wet by the dew, which will be even more troublesome.

Before long, Baili Pangpang put the entire camp back into his pocket. He modified the large iron box that was originally used to hold the barbecue grill and stuffed the disabled giant ant into it for easy carrying.

The four of them packed up their luggage and headed deeper into the primeval forest again.

Every half an hour, Lin Qiye opened the iron box, used darkness to corrode the giant ant's spirit, read its route of advance, and constantly adjusted its direction.

After walking for about an hour and a half, the little girl lying on Cao Yuan's back suddenly trembled, as if she had dreamed of something terrible, and suddenly opened her eyes.

She screamed and subconsciously struggled in fear.

The four of them stopped at the same time and turned to look at Cao Yuan's back. Baili Pangpang walked up quickly and said comfortingly:

"Little sister, don't be afraid! The monster has been chased away by the brothers!"

The little girl looked around in doubt, but she didn't see any trace of the giant ant. Her expression gradually eased up, and she looked at a few people carefully, and said with some doubt:

"You are...the brothers on the train?"

"It's us." Baili Pangpang laughed, "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still spoke timidly: "My name is Li Tingting."

"Tingting..." Baili Pangpang came up to Li Tingting and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, the brothers are not bad people. We are tourists who came to the forest to shoot a documentary. We will take you back after the filming is finished."

Li Tingting looked at Baili Pangpang with some doubt.

"Li Deyang from the Anta County Forest Protection Bureau is your father, right?" Lin Qiye said with a smile.

When Li Tingting heard the name Li Deyang, her eyes lit up immediately, "Do you know my father?"

"We are good friends. You forgot that we were also guests at the Forestry Bureau yesterday."

As soon as these words came out, Li Tingting's expression completely relaxed, and she looked at Lin Qiye and the others with a little more trust.

Baili Pangpang silently gave Lin Qiye a thumbs up.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he took out a pizza from the thermos box from his backpack, handed it to Li Tingting, and said with a smile: "I left this breakfast for you, have some."

Li Tingting smelled the aroma of pizza and swallowed hard. After the fright and severe cold of the previous night, she was already starving. She had no more worries and took the pizza and started eating.

"Hey, eat slowly, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Baili Pangpang laughed and took out two thermos cups from his backpack.

"Coffee or milk?"

…

The faint light of dawn gradually emerged from the other side of the forest.

Li Deyang was wearing a cloak and carrying a hunting rifle. He walked quickly through the forest, his weathered face full of fatigue and hardships.

Chen Han followed closely behind him, his cheeks also reddened by the cold wind.

The two followed the footprints on the ground and came to a relatively open woodland.

Li Deyang looked at the messy footprints in front of him, frowned slightly, and bent down to observe them carefully.

"Uncle Li, there are traces of tents here." Chen Han walked around and said, "They should have rested here for a while."

Li Deyang stood up from the ground and nodded.

"The traces here are too messy to make out anything, but the footprints leading to the woods are very fresh. They should have just left not long ago. If we move at full speed, we should be able to catch up soon."

Chen Han nodded, and the two of them took another step, quickly following the direction of the footprints.

After running at full speed for about an hour, four figures vaguely appeared in their sight.

Just by seeing their backs, Li Deyang could be sure that these four were the young men who came to the Forest Ranger Bureau yesterday afternoon to ask for maps. However, when his eyes fell on the back of one of the young men, his pupils suddenly contracted!

"Tingting!" He opened his cracked lips and shouted loudly!

In the distance, Baili Pangpang and others looked at Lin Qiye at the same time. Lin Qiye nodded silently, and the four of them stopped.

"dad!!"

Li Tingting looked back suddenly, and when she saw the person coming, she excitedly jumped off Cao Yuan's back and ran quickly towards Li Deyang.

Li Deyang's lips trembled slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, which was stiff due to the cold wind. He picked up Li Tingting who was running over, and wrapped his strong arms tightly around her body.

"Tingting! How are you? Are you not hurt? Where is the giant ant?" Li Deyang quickly checked Li Tingting's body. After confirming that there was not even a scratch, he immediately felt relieved.

"I'm fine. When I woke up, I was on Brother Cao's back!" Li Tingting shook her head, and her two long braids swayed back and forth.

Li Deyang held Li Tingting and turned to look at the four people not far away.

Lin Qiye raised the corner of his mouth and waved at him, "Nice to meet you again."

Chen Han and Li Deyang looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes. Li Deyang walked to the side of the four people and couldn't help asking:

"You are the ones who saved Tingting?"

"Yes." Baili Pangpang nodded.

"Then...did you see anything else?" Li Deyang frowned, "For example, red ants?"

Lin Qiye and the others looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion, "What red ants?"

Hearing this, Li Deyang's eyes became more suspicious, "Then how did you find Tingting?"

"I picked it up in the woods." Lin Qiye answered firmly.

The other three nodded heavily.

Of course, they couldn't tell Li Deyang directly that the giant red ant had been cut into sticks and was now stuffed in the iron box behind Baili Pangpang...

If Li Deyang knew about this, he would definitely become suspicious of their identities.

"Picking it up?" Li Deyang was confused.

"Yes, we were walking like that and happened to see her lying under a tree, so we picked her up." Baili Pangpang said while gesturing.

Knock, knock——!

The iron box behind him suddenly made a dull thumping sound, as if something was twisting inside.

Li Deyang's eyes immediately fell on the iron box.

Lin Qiye walked silently to the iron box and slapped the surface of the iron box. The dull banging sound inside stopped abruptly. Lin Qiye smiled and said a little embarrassedly:

"I hunted some game on the way, it's a bit dishonest, hehe..."
