Chapter 1255 Lucas's Friend
"Is there something wrong with the time cabin?" Zhou Wen asked.
The old man leading the team was very kind. He said, "There's nothing wrong with the Time Cabin. However, there's a terrifying man-eating plant on the path to the Time Cabin. Our team suffered a great loss there. You'd better not go there again."
"Thanks for the reminder, but we still want to go and take a look." Zhou Wen said, looking at a troll companion pet behind their team.
It was a blue-skinned troll, about four or five meters tall, and looked extremely majestic.
There was a box on the troll's back. Zhou Wen didn't notice it at first, but suddenly there was a sound from inside the box. Zhou Wen's perception was so sharp that he immediately discovered that there was a woman tied up inside the box.
The woman's hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was sealed. At this time, she seemed to have discovered that there were other people outside, so she desperately banged the inner wall of the box to make noise, hoping to be discovered.
Seeing Zhou Wen looking at the box, the old man said, "If you insist on going, be careful. We have to hurry back."
"Wait a minute, what's going on with that box?" Zhou Wen stopped the old man and asked.
Although he doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, since he has encountered this situation, Zhou Wen will not hesitate to help if it can save someone's life.
Of course, before that, Zhou Wen had to find out the whole story first to avoid blaming the wrong people.
"What's it to you?" The young man glared at Zhou Wen unhappily.
The old man stopped the young man and said to Zhou Wen, "To be honest, the person in that box is our employer. She paid us to take her to the Time Cabin, but now there's a Piranha King on the road, and we can't get through. Several people have already died, but she's still going forward. We didn't want to see her die, so we forced her back."
"Can I ask her a few questions?" Zhou Wen felt that the old woman didn't seem to be lying, but since it involved human life, it was better to ask clearly.
"Don't push your luck." The young man was very unhappy.
The old man stopped the young man from getting angry again, then turned to Zhou Wen and said, "Of course you can. We weren't doing the right thing. Since we've taken their money, we should have taken them to their deathbed. But this time, they're clearly sending them to their deaths. There's no point in going any further. I'm an old man, and I can die, but I can't watch these young people die with me. We'll return the money we collected in full and double the compensation."
After saying that, the old man asked someone to put the box down and opened it for Zhou Wen and the others to see.
"Dad, what are you doing? Is it necessary to explain so much to an outsider?" When Zhou Wen and others went to see the box, the young man complained to the old man dissatisfiedly.
The old man whispered, "You're confused! These outsiders know nothing about the strange forest, and they don't even know the location of the Time Cabin, yet they were able to walk here safely. There must be a very powerful being among them. Don't get involved with them."
The young man was startled, then he understood. He glanced at Zhou Wen and the others who were examining the box, and said in a low voice, "I see. I was too careless."
"You are still young. After experiencing more things, you will naturally be able to see things more clearly. Just give it more thought in the future." The old man patted the young man's shoulder and took him to Zhou Wen and others.
The box had been opened, and inside was a woman tied up.
The old man went over and removed the seal on the woman's mouth, and she immediately screamed, "Hatu, you ungrateful bastard! Lucas took good care of you when he was still here, didn't he? How dare you treat me like this?"
"Fei Luo, it's not that we don't want to send you there. We really can't deal with the king of carnivorous plants. You'll just die if you go. What's the point?" The old man spread out his hands and said helplessly.
"If you are afraid of death and don't go, that's your own business. Why are you stopping me?" Fei Luo struggled to get out of the box.
But her body was tied up like a tapeworm and she couldn't even stand up. She could only talk while lying in the box.
"We don't want you to die either," the old man explained.
"I guess you don't want your reputation to be damaged, right?" Fei Luo snorted coldly.
"What is your relationship with Lucas?" Zhou Wen looked at Fei Luo and asked. He was a little surprised to hear Lucas's name from Fei Luo's mouth.
"I'm Lucas's fiancée. Do you know Lucas?" Fei Luo knew that it was because of Zhou Wen that he had the opportunity to speak. When he saw Zhou Wen asking about Lucas, he hurriedly said.
Zhou Wen hadn't heard Lucas mention his fiancée. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why did you go to the Time Cabin?"
"Of course I'm going to find Lucas. He went to the Time Cabin four years ago and never came back. I must find him." Fei Luo gritted his teeth and said, "If you're afraid of death and don't want to go, then let me go. I'll go by myself and won't get you into trouble."
"Let her go." Zhou Wen looked at the old man and said.
"This..." The old man hesitated, although part of the reason was indeed for the reputation of his team and he didn't want his employer to die.
But the main reason was that he didn't want Feiluo to die. After all, as Feiluo said, Lucas had taken good care of him in the past.
"Don't worry, we will take her to the Time Cabin." Zhou Wen said.
"Do you know Lucas?" the old man looked at Zhou Wen and asked cautiously.
"Great Lucas, I am proud to have such a friend." Zhou Wen said it sincerely. People like Lucas are indeed worthy of respect.
While the old man was still hesitating, Fei Luo shouted happily, "Let me go quickly, I will go with them."
The old man looked at Zhou Wen for a while, sighed softly, and asked someone to remove the chains on Fei Luo.
After Fei Luo jumped out of the box, he said to Zhou Wen, "What's your name? I've barely met any of Lucas's friends, but I've never met you."
"My name is Zhou Wen. Maybe he hasn't mentioned me, but I am indeed his friend." Zhou Wen said.
"Are you Zhou Wen?" Fei Luo's eyes widened immediately, and he pointed at Zhou Wen and asked in surprise and joy.
"My name is Zhou Wen. Is there any problem with this?" Zhou Wen was a little confused as to why Fei Luo had such a big reaction.
"Which college did you study in before?" Fei Luo asked successively.
"Sunset College in the East District, I wonder if you've heard of it." Zhou Wen probably guessed that Lucas must have mentioned him in front of Fei Luo before.
"Ah, that's right, you really are Zhou Wen, that's great." Fei Luo was overjoyed.
"Firo, is he really Lucas's friend?" the old man asked with some confusion.
"Not just a friend, he is the person Lucas admires the most. No, Lucas said he is a man as great as God." Fei Luo said solemnly.
