"I'll go with you."
When everyone agreed that Mu Chen was the one who lured the giant bird away, Mingmei also stepped forward.
"No, you are a priest. If you recklessly put yourself in danger..."
"So, this mission to lure the giant bird is very dangerous, and you're sending Mu Chen alone?"
Mingmei frowned deeply, expressing her strong dissatisfaction with the decision made by the people in front of her!
"I didn't say I only wanted to send him, it's just that none of us have ever been up this cliff before, I was thinking..."
Lu Gui was quite troubled when he talked about this, because now he could no longer hide from Mu Chen the fact that he had left the group alone when they went hunting together.
Generally speaking, leaving the team alone is not allowed, but Mu Chen insisted. Although Lu Gui disapproved of Mu Chen's individual actions, he still recognized Mu Chen's abilities.
Therefore, when Lu Gui led the team out, he would usually let Mu Chen leave alone to do whatever he wanted.
Moreover, Mu Chen usually provides an explanation after he finishes his work, but with what happened today, not only is Mu Chen being suspected, but Lu Gui is also receiving questioning looks from others.
The crowd seemed to be saying: You have a really big heart.
Before he could finish explaining, Mingmei continued, "No one has ever gone up there before, so you can come along. After all, if we really need to use that mine in the future, do you expect Mu Chen to climb up and down and carry it back all by himself?"
Lu Gui naturally understood what Mingmei was saying. If Mu Chen hadn't said that he could manage on his own, he would have called for help too.
But as soon as Mu Chen finished speaking about himself, Ming Mei spoke up first, saying she wanted to come along, which led to everything that followed.
"I'll go up with Mu Chen later."
Hugo volunteered, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Mu Chen. He thought that Mu Chen must be very impressive to be able to become Mingmei's boyfriend.
He didn't consider at all how much of an advantage Mu Chen's face had. There were plenty of handsome men present, but Mu Chen's ability to stand out was definitely due to his talent.
He just loves hanging out with capable people; that's always exciting!
With Hugo raising his hand, the others followed suit, and in the end, under Mu Chen's own selection, Julian, Hugo, Zhen Hu, and Madison were chosen to be together.
"Isn't there too few people?"
In the end, only five people went to lure away the giant bird. Mingmei was still a little worried, but she was more puzzled about what Mu Chen would do.
Mu Chen smiled at this and looked at Hugo, who was the strongest and had the best arm strength and accuracy among them, and Madison, who had plenty of experience as bait and ran very fast. He was confident.
However, the two people being watched by him were not in a very good mood.
...
"Huh? Why did he make me pretend to be me?"
When Madison finally learned of the plan, his face practically cracked with rage!
"I have experience as bait, but I don't have the experience of running ten kilometers in one go!"
“We don’t need to run ten kilometers.” Mu Chen pointed to the view behind the giant rock mountain that everyone had finally climbed up. “Look.”
After exhausting themselves climbing to the top of the mountain with Mu Chen, the group rested against a rock. They looked down the mountain and were immediately awestruck by the sight Mu Chen was pointing in.
"My God, this design..."
They never expected that the scenery behind the vast, continuous rocky mountain would look like something out of a post-apocalyptic world.
This rocky mountain seems to be a dividing line in life.
If it weren't winter, they would definitely see this scene:
In front of the mountain, there are endless green forests and hills, and a light blue river meanders down like a jade ribbon, where all kinds of animals can find a place to live.
Behind the mountain, jagged rocks and barren gravel beaches in the giant rock canyon stretch to the horizon, with a strange dark red hue at the boundary between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the area in front of the mountain is covered in silver, while the area behind the mountain still presents the same scenery described above.
The heavy snow did not visit this desolate place.
"Would that bird really like this place?"
The group was dumbfounded, never imagining that the mountain their village relied on would turn out like this.
"I don't like it, but the salt mine and hot springs are still attractive when it's cold. When the weather gets warmer and everything comes back to life, if Big Bird really doesn't like this place, he can go back to where he came from."
Zhen Hu has already said that.
"Later, Tiger will use the bone spear, heat the tip with fire, and throw it as close to the bird's eyes as possible. After throwing it, hide under these rocks, and Tiger will charge into the giant rock canyon ahead." (www.cascoo.net)
"Don't be fooled by how small and flat the rocky beach below the giant rock canyon looks now. If you get close, some of these rocks are still a meter or two high. If you take the opportunity to hide in the crevices between the rocks, this bird, being so small, won't be able to do anything to you."
The rest of us went out to keep attracting its attention, without taking it to its actual destination. Given its size, it could easily spot the unusual spot by flying around and then fly off on its own without us interfering.
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Hugo and Mandyson and asked them if they understood. The two of them went through the plan of love in their minds before nodding.
...
As dusk fell, Mingmei sat warming herself by the rekindled fire in the cave, her gaze fixed on the flames, lost in thought.
"That bird flew away while chirping around noon. So, Mu Chen and the others' plan was a success, right?"
