Zhao Lihan thought to himself, "This kind of blind beating is not a long-term solution!"
At this critical moment, he suddenly recalled that before leaving, the gentle and kind Wang Xiaolan had kindly handed him a bottle of insecticide and repeatedly reminded him to carry it with him just in case.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lihan felt like he had found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly reached out to touch the bottle of insecticide that he had hidden carefully.
Just as he was about to pull the insecticide out of his pocket, he suddenly felt a powerful and mysterious force gripping him tightly. Before he could react, he was lifted up by this force as if on a cloud.
Zhao Lihan was terrified and subconsciously raised his head to see what was causing the trouble. He was shocked to see a dark animal holding his collar and running to another tree trunk and stopping.
Zhao Lihan turned around and saw that it was Hei Xingxing. His heart, which had been in his throat, gradually calmed down.
Because this black cat had eaten the human food given to it by Zhao Lihan, it had long regarded him as its friend. When it saw its friend in danger, it came to the rescue.
At this time, Xingxing looked at Zhao Lihan and extended his hand without hesitation.
Zhao Lihan reacted immediately, took out a can of luncheon meat and opened it for it. Hei Xingxing took the luncheon meat and ran away happily.
Looking at the figure running away and Hei Xingxing gradually disappearing from his sight, Zhao Lihan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a faint smile.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from his stomach, which was obviously a strong signal of hunger.
Zhao Lihan subconsciously reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of compressed biscuits. He tore open the wrapper, placed a dry biscuit in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. Although the texture was a bit rough, it was a delicious comfort to his starving stomach.
While Zhao Lihan was concentrating on his meal, his eyes involuntarily wandered around his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed a wisp of green smoke rising in the sky not far away. At first, he mistook it for ordinary mist, but as the breeze blew, a rich aroma filled his nose.
Zhao Lihan took a few deep breaths, carefully analyzing the scent in the air. He quickly determined that the alluring aroma wasn't coming from fog, but rather a familiar, meaty aroma! Furthermore, it was clearly the mouth-watering aroma of barbecue.
At this moment, Zhao Lihan frowned tightly, thinking to himself, "This is a vast, undeveloped primeval forest! Normally, even those battle-hardened and experienced hunters would never dare to rashly enter such a primeval forest!"
"What about those ordinary people? How could they dare to set foot here so easily? But now, someone actually appeared here! This is really not right! Could it be that... there is another hidden secret?"
So, he quickly put the uneaten compressed biscuits into his bag, wiped the remaining biscuit crumbs from his mouth, and walked towards the direction of the smoke in the distance. He walked carefully along the way, fearing that his footsteps would alarm the other party.
As he got closer to his target, the originally subtle clamor gradually became clearer and clearer. When he was finally approaching his destination, the clamor flooded into his ears like a tide.
Then a gunshot rang out, and a flying bird was hit and fell to the ground, landing in the bushes not far from where Zhao Lihan was hiding. Then several men dressed as hunters came from where the smoke was rising, laughing as they ran towards Zhao Lihan.
Seeing the dead bird so close to him, Zhao Lihan quickly dodged into the dense grass nearby, cleverly concealing himself with the surrounding vegetation. Then, he lay on the ground, peering through the gaps between the blades of grass, intently observing the men.
A short man among the people rushed forward, picked up the bird, held it high, laughed loudly, and chattered something.
Zhao Lihan nervously held his breath, not daring to make a sound, as he listened intently to the conversation of the people not far away. As time ticked by, his brow furrowed ever deeper, and his heart grew increasingly uneasy. After only hearing a few words, he keenly sensed—this was actually the language of the Japanese devils!
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. You know, the Japanese had already surrendered many years ago! But why would someone speaking this language suddenly appear here? It was unbelievable!
Zhao Lihan couldn't help but recall some rumors he had heard from the locals. It was said that a mysterious army had quietly hidden in the mountains before liberation. Could it be that these people before him were that legendary army?
If this is true, then what ulterior motives do they have for hiding here? Thinking of this, Zhao Lihan felt a chill running up his spine, and a layer of fine beads of sweat involuntarily seeped out of his forehead.
As he frowned and pondered, those puzzling and inexplicable questions were entangled in his mind like a tangled mess.
At this moment, the short man's nose twitched suddenly, as if he had smelled something special. Then he began to look around, as if searching for something. He walked forward hurriedly, getting closer and closer to where Zhao Lihan was.
However, at this critical moment, a furry white rabbit rushed past them like lightning. The rabbit was so fast that it disappeared into the grass in front of them in the blink of an eye.
This sudden change made those people stunned, but after just a moment's hesitation, several people including the short man reacted instantly, with surprise on their faces, and without hesitation ran in the direction where the rabbit fled.
Seeing that they had gone far away, Zhao Lihan quietly came and ambushed them not far away.
He carefully hid himself in the dense bushes. Through the narrow gaps between the layers of leaves, his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a huge cave not far ahead.
