Chapter 468 Getting Closer
Su Ying raised her hand and made a big gesture, "You little cubs are quite brave, are you hungry?" She divided the beef cut from the space into small pieces and threw them to them. The wolf cubs smelled the blood and started to eat with a grunt. Their mouths were not even as big as the pieces of meat, but they ate up the pieces of meat that were bigger than their bodies.
After eating and drinking, the two wolf cubs turned over and exposed their bellies in front of Su Ying without any scruples.
Su Ying reached out and rubbed their bellies, "I thought I was a dog."
The two wolf cubs hummed comfortably as Su Ying rubbed them, and nudged their heads in their palms. When Su Ying stopped, they came over and bit Su Ying's hands in dissatisfaction, asking her to continue serving them.
Su Ying kicked it lightly on the butt, then put out the fire and took them back to the space to sleep.
On the other side of the mountain, Xiao Jin was still on his way, but it was getting dark and the road was difficult to walk on. It was not until the late night that the group reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"Stop and rest first, and then continue on your journey when it's daybreak."
He could continue walking, but seeing that the two officers were in trouble, he still wanted them to lead the way. It would be troublesome if the two of them could not move.
The two officers were looking forward to Xiao Jin letting them rest. They were so tired that they couldn't even lift their thighs.
"Master, please take a rest first. I will bring back some firewood."
The three of them found a relatively flat place to settle down. With torches in their hands, the fire was quickly lit.
Although there was a severe drought in Los Angeles and the sun was so hot every day that it could kill people, it was still very cold in the mountains late at night.
After a simple meal of dry food, the two officers left one person to stand guard, and Xiao Jin sat under a tree with his eyes closed, waiting for the arrival of dawn.
At the foot of the mountain, which they could not see, a group of men in black were quietly moving up the mountain.
The forest is especially quiet late at night, and even the slightest noise can be clearly heard.
In the darkness, Xiao Jin opened his eyes.
The black eyes blend into the thick night.
He clenched the sword in his hand and slowly stood up from the ground.
Suddenly, an arrow flew towards him.
Xiao Jin was prepared. When the arrow flew towards him, he jumped onto the tree. In a blink of an eye, he saw a flash of silver light on the tree opposite. He simply cut off the branch next to him and threw it at the other side.
The man in black hiding in the darkness saw that he was exposed, and before he could make a move he felt a murderous aura coming towards him.
He was so startled that he jumped down from the tree and dodged quickly.
Xiao Jin did not want to fight any longer, so he turned around and flew into the woods.
Seeing this, the man in black followed closely behind.
In the darkness, Xiao Jin's figure shuttled quickly through the forest like a nightingale, and finally disappeared on a tall tree.
Not long after, the man in black caught up and passed the tall tree without noticing Xiao Jin who was hiding in the tree.
Looking at the men in black who flashed by one after another, Xiao Jin silently counted their number, twenty-three.
When the man in black caught up, he found that Xiao Jin had disappeared.
"Where's the person? Lost him?"
"We clearly saw them in front of us just now. They must be around here. Let's spread out in groups of three to look for them."
"yes."
The figure of the man in black shuttled through the forest like a ghost, but after searching around, he couldn't find Xiao Jin.
"Boss, we didn't find him. There are so many trees in this forest. He must be hiding."
It was pitch dark and they thought it would not be easy to find someone.
The black-clothed man's brows gradually darkened. He was sure that the man must be in this forest, but it was not easy to find him.
"If we don't set fire to the mountain, he won't come out."
"It's dry now. If they set the mountain on fire, we won't be able to get out."
"Keep looking. If you can't find anything, think of another way."
"yes."
Xiao Jin hid in a tree, watched the man in black gradually approaching, and then stood up quietly. After making sure that there was no one following the man in black, he landed lightly on the ground and came behind the man in black.
The man in black noticed the abnormality and turned back, but it was too late. Xiao Jin's hand had already grabbed his neck.
The man in black struggled and hit Xiao Jin, but Xiao Jin removed his hands and jaw and took him back to the tree.
A faint beam of moonlight shone through the branches onto the face of the man in black, making his complexion look particularly pale.
"You know who I am."
The man in black looked at Xiao Jin without saying anything, but Xiao Jin could tell from the changes in the other's facial expression that he definitely agreed.
The man in black knew his identity, but when he left the palace, only a few of his close associates knew about it. It seemed that someone had betrayed him.
Xiao Jin pinched the black-clothed man's mouth open, took out a dagger and pried out a pill sealed with white wax from his teeth. This was a unique suicide weapon used by the death warriors, usually hidden in the back molars. As long as they found that something was wrong, they would bite the poison and hang themselves to prevent the news from leaking out.
There are not many noble families in the capital who can afford a large number of death warriors. More than 20 people were dispatched for this operation. I am afraid that their people are still lying in ambush in the city. How can ordinary small families withstand such a large-scale operation?
Xiao Jin slit the black-clothed man's throat and jumped under the tree, then returned to where he had been before.
The two officers who followed him escaped the disaster because they had fallen asleep and were not awakened. The man in black was targeting Xiao Jin, and he didn't even look at the two officers after he saw Xiao Jin leave.
Xiao Jin called the officer.
"There is an assassin trying to kill me. Try to take a hidden path."
The two officers were still a little confused after being woken up from their sleep, but they came to their senses after hearing Xiao Jin's words. They did not dare to delay and quickly took Xiao Jin away through another hidden path.
The sky gradually turned pale, and Su Ying woke up and came out of the space.
She stretched, took a few breaths of fresh air, and then processed the fish she had taken out of the space. She was still thinking about the sashimi she had last night.
After cutting the fish meat off, Su Ying threw it into the pot to cook. She also took out some dried meat and put it in to make the fish soup more fragrant.
Su Ying sliced the fish and placed it on clean leaves. She sat cross-legged on the ground and savored this rare delicacy bite by bite. But when she thought that those truckloads of fish would be gone once they were eaten, she chewed more often, allowing her taste buds to better appreciate the flavor.
After finishing the fish, Su Ying took a bowl of fish soup. As expected, with the meat in it, the fish soup smelled even more fragrant.
Su Ying took a deep breath and was about to drink it when suddenly an arrow flew in and accurately knocked over her pot. The milky white fish soup flowed out without even a drop left.
The veins on Su Ying's forehead jumped. She quickly glanced around and drank the fish in her hand. Then she suddenly threw the bowl away.
