"Damn! How come you suddenly appear in front of us!" Baili Pangpang also saw this scene and was dumbfounded.
"Now is not the time to worry about this issue!" Shen Qingzhu shouted, and quickly changed direction and leaped to the left.
As luck would have it, Lin Qiye also chose the same direction at the same time.
The two groups of people who were originally blocked in front and behind broke out to the left in unison, followed by a series of sounds of missiles breaking through the air!
Among the three younger brothers behind Shen Qingzhu, two were shot at the same time. After wailing in despair, their eyes rolled back and they fainted on the ground.
The knife in Lin Qiye's hand was almost leaving an afterimage as he quickly cut a path in the jungle. Cao Yuan, clutching the useless spoon in his hand, tried his best to catch up with him.
Baili Pangpang exclaimed, dodged behind a big tree, avoided a series of missiles, and then rolled and crawled to chase after Lin Qiye and others.
The few of them ran for their lives, and they crossed the entire rugged old forest and ran to a fairly spacious open space. A brook gurgled through the mountains, making a pleasant tinkling sound.
Lin Qiye walked a few steps, bent down beside the stream, caught the stream water in his hand and drank a few mouthfuls, then wiped it on his face and let out a long sigh.
Baili Pangpang sat down on the ground and collapsed.
"Nanaha...how close are we to crossing the mountains?"
"It's still early." Lin Qiye said slowly, "From the beginning, drones rushed towards us from different directions, so we had to change direction several times along the way. Now we have only advanced a straight-line distance of four or five kilometers from the starting point."
"Is the instructor kidding us? We are being chased by a drone again, and we are not allowed to fight back..." Shen Qingzhu stood up, kicked the stone under his feet into the stream, and spoke with an unhappy look on his face.
"If we continue like this, we will never be able to get through the mountains." Cao Yuan frowned.
"Actually, I felt that this place was weird from the beginning." Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"Strange?"
"Didn't you notice? We've been running for so long, and no matter which direction we go, the position of the sun in the sky has not changed." Lin Qiye pointed to the sun above his head, "Moreover, the mountain road I see with my eyes is often changing..."
Everyone was stunned and looked up at the same time, their faces darkening.
"What's going on?"
"The instructors must have covered this area with forbidden objects. From the beginning, they didn't intend for us to pass through."
"So what exactly do they want to do?"
"Here, we are completely drained of our energy."
Baili Pangpang's face turned pale, "So, all of us are destined to accept that punishment?"
"Not really." Cao Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Those who fainted from exhaustion did not appear in the punishment."
"..." Baili Pangpang sat on the ground with a look of despair and let out a long sigh.
The drones seemed to know that they were almost at their limit and did not catch up directly, which gave them a rare chance to catch their breath.
After running for so long, everyone's energy was almost exhausted. They all sat on the ground, and the open space by the stream suddenly fell into silence.
Only the "soul-torture" that constantly came from the heavy load, echoing in the mountain valleys, made them laugh from time to time.
"Hey, the guy holding the spoon over there." Shen Qingzhu's eyes fell on Cao Yuan, "You are so strong, why didn't you try your best at the beginning when you were fighting against the mask last night?"
"I will not draw my sword unless it is necessary. This is the oath I made before the Buddha." Cao Yuan replied calmly.
"Then didn't you take action later?"
"That's because the time has come when we have to take action." Cao Yuan glanced at Lin Qiye.
Shen Qingzhu frowned, "What do you mean? He asked you to do it and you did it, but I asked you to do it and you just sat there in a daze? Do you look down on me?"
"yes."
"You!" Shen Qingzhu's eyes fixed.
"Anyone who can't even control his own emotions will always be a weakling." Cao Yuan said calmly, playing with the spoon in his hand.
Shen Qingzhu stared at Cao Yuan with his fists clenched tightly, as if he wanted to rush up and beat Cao Yuan up. After a while, he loosened his hands.
He stood up and gave him a cold look, "Humph, whether you are strong or weak, we will see."
After saying that, he turned and walked in another direction.
Immediately afterwards, the only remaining recruit following behind him hurriedly stood up and followed.
"Damn it, those two have been eliminated, why are you still following them?" Shen Qingzhu was already angry, and when he saw this man following them again, he turned around and cursed.
"Because you are my brother Shen!" A dark-skinned recruit smiled innocently, "If you hadn't helped my mother pay off her debts, I would still be begging on the street! Not to mention being a night watchman!"
"Are you kidding me? I almost killed you and that moon ghost yesterday with [Qi Min], and you still treat me as Brother Shen?"
"You did that to force him out!" the henchman said honestly, "Besides, if you really didn't care about us, why did you have to throw us into the dormitory building before using the air blast?"
"You..." Shen Qingzhu kicked the stone under his feet in annoyance. "Damn it, I don't care. Since you guys are blind and insist on following me, then it's up to you.
Remember! Don't cause trouble for me! "
Shen Qingzhu turned around and walked away with big strides, and his followers followed him closely.
"Brother Shen, are you carrying too much weight? How about I help you carry some of it?"
"Get lost, I'll carry my burden myself!"
"oh……"
After Shen Qingzhu and the other two walked away, Baili Pangpang shrugged:
"It's strange. Shen Qingzhu has a bad temper, is conceited, and likes to curse people... There are actually people willing to follow him. Are they really blind?"
"The boy's name is Deng Wei. When he was a child, his father ran away with someone else. His mother loved gambling and owed a lot of debts. Later, the creditors came to his house with knives. He had no choice but to borrow money from everywhere.
Later, he happened to meet Shen Qingzhu. For some reason, he sold several plots of land from his hometown and lent them to Deng Wei. Later, the two of them awakened the Forbidden Ruins together, were spotted by the Night Watchman, and came here. "
Cao Yuan briefly explained what had happened.
"You know that so clearly?"
"That Deng Wei is my roommate." Cao Yuan shrugged, "There are two other followers, they are twin brothers, one is called Li Jia, the other is called Li Liang. I don't know why, but they are also devoted to Shen Qingzhu."
"He's a man with a story, I can't tell." Baili Pangpang raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, the buzzing sound of a drone sounded again from the forest. Lin Qiye's face changed slightly and he stood up from the ground.
"here we go again……"
