Just as Xu Kun had said, he separated almost every item from the barbecue and sprinkled it with chili powder.
What he didn't expect was that Gu Xiaobei was a fan of extremely spicy food, and this wave of chili powder was directly sprinkled on his heart.
Seeing Gu Xiaobei eating with such relish, Xu Kun was extremely frustrated.
After finishing the barbecue, they enjoyed some tea brewed by Zhou Ye. Once they were full, they began to distribute the supplies from the special snow treasure chest.
There are four special snow-covered treasure chests in total, and the supplies inside are as follows:
[Azure Frost Sword (Intermediate) *1]
[Soul-Capturing Bell*1]
[Universal Antidote Pills * 2 (bottles)]
[Master Key *3]
[Soul-Stealing Bell: Shaking the bell can stun enemies for three seconds.]
[The Panacea Pill: As the name suggests, it can cure any poison.]
Gu Mian pondered for a moment, then asked for a bottle of antidote pills and a master key, and told them to give her points for the rest.
There are only three pills in a bottle of antidote pills, which is a bit few, but considering that it can cure any kind of poison, the small quantity is barely acceptable.
It was already quite late by the time the supplies were distributed.
The gas station was a two-story wooden house, but the fireplace was only on the first floor, so after discussing it, the group decided to let Gu Mian sleep on the second floor alone.
The reason is that she has a temperature-controlled sleeping bag, so she doesn't get cold even without a fireplace.
This reason made sense, so after discussing it, Gu Mian quickly climbed to the second floor, found a corner, put on the thermostatic suit, and fell asleep immediately.
late at night.
A group of people rushed to the gas station entrance and roughly pushed open the wooden door.
The wooden door slammed against the wall with a loud "bang".
The noise was so loud that it woke up Xu Kun and the others downstairs.
"Who goes there?" Gu Xiaobei sat up with a swift movement, his eyes sharp as he looked toward the door.
Xing Zhao subtly glanced around the wooden house and, seeing that there were only four people inside, his tense muscles relaxed slightly.
When he saw the red exclamation mark above Zhou Ye's head, he couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly. When he saw Xu Kun, whom he had met not long ago, he was even more surprised: "It's you?"
Xu Kun opened his eyes with difficulty and yawned nonchalantly: "Ah, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Gu Xiaobei looked at Xu Kun: "Brother, do you know him?"
"We don't really know each other." Xu Kun closed his eyes and lay back down on the ground. "We only met once during the day."
"You don't mind if we stay here tonight, do you?" Xing Zhao said as he led his group of henchmen into the house.
Jiang Bai: "You're already here, why are you still asking if I mind or not?"
He paused, then added, "Don't go to the second floor."
"Hmm?" Xing Zhao asked in a puzzled tone, "Why can't we go to the second floor?"
“Gu Mian is on the second floor,” Xu Kun said. “If you go up and wake her up, she might just kill you in a fit of anger.”
Xing Zhao rolled her eyes and agreed.
The group found a corner to lie down, and the room quickly returned to silence.
Zhou threw two pieces of charcoal into the fireplace and then lay back down on the sofa.
About two hours later, around 2 a.m., a dark figure quietly climbed up to the second floor.
There is no fireplace on the second floor, so the lighting is dim.
Xing Zhao took out a luminous pearl the size of an egg and circled the second floor before finally finding Gu Mian curled up under a window on one side.
He curled his lips into a sinister smile, thinking to himself, "I've searched high and low without finding it, but it's come to me effortlessly. Today, Gu Mian, you're going to fall into my hands."
After losing face to Gu Mian during the day, Xing Zhao harbored a deep grudge and plotted to find an opportunity to kill Gu Mian.
Even the heavens are on his side.
He randomly picked a gas station, and there was Gu Mian there.
Xing Zhao looked up at the countdown in the air; in one hour, the wooden house would disappear.
Xing Zhao smiled silently, took out a fine iron dagger and put it in his boot. He would definitely plunge this dagger into her neck the moment the wooden house disappeared.
Little did Xing Zhao know that Gu Mian had woken up the moment he went upstairs.
In games where players can attack each other, even when she's with familiar people, she won't get into a deep sleep at night.
By the light of the luminous pearl, Gu Mian also saw the ruthlessness on Xing Zhao's face and the way he stuck a dagger into his boot.
So she quietly opened the protective shield on her bracelet and patiently waited for the wooden house to disappear.
She promised to give him a surprise the moment the cabin disappeared.
An hour is neither a long nor a short time.
With Xing Zhao's mind extremely focused, time passed rapidly, second by second.
With only one minute left, he stared intently at the countdown in the air, silently counting 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!
The wooden house began to appear ethereal and transparent.
Xing Zhao waited patiently, and the moment the wooden house completely disappeared, he suddenly pulled out his dagger and stabbed it into Gu Mian's neck!
It missed!
As the floor disappeared, his hand, which had just been extended, suddenly lost its weight and plummeted straight down.
Xing Zhao's pupils dilated for a moment.
grass!
Forgot that after the cabin disappeared, he would fall from the second floor!
At the same time, Gu Mian pulled a willow-leaf knife from a black bag on the outside of her thigh and casually threw it at Xing Zhao.
"Ah!" Xing Zhao cried out in pain as the scalpel plunged into his neck.
Clutching his bleeding neck, Xing Zhao gritted his teeth and slapped a teleportation card onto his body, disappearing into the air before landing.
With a "thud," Gu Mian fell onto the snow.
"Damn, it's so cold!" The disappearance of the wooden house left Xu Kun and the others exposed to the snow again.
A gust of biting cold wind woke me up, making me shiver.
"What's going on? Where are the others?" Gu Xiaobei looked left and right and found that there were only a few of them in the snow. All the others were gone.
"They've run away." Gu Mian looked away with a hint of regret; her points had once again vanished.
"Run?" Gu Xiaobei asked, puzzled. "Why did they run? Did something happen before?"
"Hmm." Gu Mian nodded: "Their boss went upstairs to ambush me. He probably told his underlings to be ready to run away at any time before he went."
"A sneak attack?" Gu Xiaobei exclaimed in surprise, "When did he get up there? How come I didn't even notice?!"
Zhou Ye's expression wasn't good either: "You were sleeping too soundly."
Gu Xiaobei scratched the back of his head: "Uh, I've always been a good sleeper, there's nothing I can do about it."
But haven't you guys noticed either? What, are you like me, having slept well since childhood?
Jiang Bai glanced at him speechlessly: "No, you're the only one sleeping so soundly."
"Huh?" Gu Xiaobei was confused now: "You all knew, so how did you let them get away?"
Upon hearing this, the remaining people's expressions turned grim.
