The old man in blue robes, walking ahead, moved with great speed and a strong voice: "Old man, you're no good. You've only just stepped out of your own house and you're already panting."
The old man in gray behind him said angrily, "Do you think I practice martial arts every day like you? I can't walk anymore, hurry up and come help me."
The old man in blue twitched at the corner of his mouth and stopped to wait for him.
"You said you'd be better off staying in the village? Why did you have to run off and drag me along to be your bodyguard?" said the old man in blue.
“It’s been almost a year since the little girl left. Aren’t you worried? What if something happens to her?”
The old man in gray walked slowly through the forest, his hands behind his back, looking every bit the sage.
"Besides, I already gave you that jar of wine as payment, so isn't it your duty to protect my safety?"
"..."
The old man in blue couldn't argue with him, and he couldn't fight him either, otherwise the village would be in trouble if no one was in charge.
Just then, a triangular snake head emerged from a tree about two meters tall. As soon as it flicked its tongue, the old man in blue shot it in the head with a dart, killing it instantly.
He went over and stuffed the dead snake into the cloth bag hanging from his waist.
Before he could put away his darts, he saw a venomous snake with alternating white and black rings on its back. With a whoosh, the snake died too.
The old man in gray frowned: "There are more and more poisonous snakes around here."
The old man in blue knew what he was thinking and immediately shattered his illusions: "No amount of poisonous snakes can stop that little brat. I bet she's having so much fun outside that she's forgotten all about us old men!"
That's what they said, but their tone was still a little sour.
That brat has no conscience. She went out to find her family and then never came back. They raised her to adulthood, aren't they family?
Sudden!
The old man in blue twitched his ears and reminded his old friend, "Don't make a sound!"
Then they grabbed his arm and ran into the bushes. For more than ten seconds, they lay motionless in the bushes.
"He's dead!" The old man in gray regretted going out.
Before long, the sounds of people talking and footsteps approached from afar.
"There's a reaction! There's a smell of blood here! Let's split up and search around here; we're sure to find the Godfather's Secret Flower Valley!"
"Tels, you've said this a hundred times, but have you found it? No, you actually think the Godfather would hide in this godforsaken place? That's the biggest joke I've heard all year!"
"Why not? The Godfather loves watching Korean kung fu movies, and in those movies, the reclusive masters all live deep in the mountains and valleys. We've already searched eighteen mountains; we can't just give up now, can we?"
No sooner had Tels finished speaking than his companion shouted, "There's blood on this tree!"
Tels quickly ran over to check.
In the distant bushes, the old man in gray and the old man in green both looked rather solemn.
It was very quiet around them, and they could all hear each other clearly.
These guys are still looking for a godfather.
But the godfather from back then is now an old man in Hakugakure.
"The blood is fresh; there must be someone here!"
Tels's voice was full of excitement. He circled the tree twice and said confidently, "Found it! This must have been left by the Godfather!"
"Then why don't you make them bring out the human body heat sensor? As long as there's someone nearby, it will definitely react!"
"Haha, everyone come over and take out your equipment."
Because human body heat source sensors require both signal and power, but these are usually unavailable in the deep mountains, they brought their own battery-powered motors and signal receivers, which were scattered in five backpacks and only taken out when needed.
The heat-sensing machine in their hands was developed by the RM Research Institute and can sense the vital signs of people within a radius of ten miles.
Therefore, anyone within a ten-mile radius cannot escape the machine's search.
From the bushes, the old man in gray lowered his voice and said, "We're too close. We can't just sit here and wait to die."
The old man in blue thought to himself, "If I had known, I wouldn't have killed those two poisonous snakes."
"Hide well, I'll be right back."
After saying this, the old man in blue took out about ten small pebbles from his pocket and quietly left the bushes.
After he left, the old man in gray quietly huddled inside, not moving an inch.
Not long after, he heard the shouts of the group.
"Oh my God! How come there are so many poisonous snakes?"
"Quickly, quickly, bring out the snake repellent."
"I've scattered it, but why isn't the snake leaving?"
"Shoot them!"
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Just as gunshots rang out, the old man in blue returned to the bushes and took the old man in gray with him.
Two hundred meters away.
The old man in gray couldn't run anymore and clung to a tree, refusing to let go: "Let me rest for a bit and catch my breath."
The old man in blue looked in the direction the runner was coming from and snorted, "By the time you catch your breath, they'll be shooting at your head."
"You probably can't find that many venomous snakes right now, right? What good stuff did that little mist girl give you?" The old man in gray looked at him with envy in his eyes.
The old man in blue had a straight face, but his tone couldn't hide his joy: "She knew I often practiced martial arts in the mountains, so she specially prepared a year's supply of insect repellent powder for me."
The old man in gray said sourly, "Heh, no wonder you agreed to come out with me."
The old man in blue really wanted to roll his eyes at him.
He felt so free and easy in the mountains; he had no desire to go out and see those people.
It's a pity that the brat has been gone for so long without coming back to see these old folks. What a heartless little thing.
"well."
The old man in gray suddenly sighed and said as he walked, "Decades have passed, and they've only found eighteen mountains. Why do you think that is?"
The old man in blue had no idea why.
Maybe the other person is just too stupid.
However, he knew one thing, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes: "They brought so much stuff, they obviously won't give up until they achieve their goal. You only have two choices: either leave the people in the mountains, or the White Hidden Village will no longer be a secret."
The old man in gray twitched his eyelids and sighed, "I asked you to use your brain, not to kill someone to cover it up."
"They are all members of the Divine Envoy Organization, they are no good." The old man in blue didn't think there was anything wrong with killing them.
"It hasn't gotten to that point yet!"
The old man in gray, tired of the fighting and killing, said casually, "If they want to find the Godfather, let them look. If they can't find him when he's flying in the sky, how easy is it for him to find him on the ground?"
The old man in blue snorted coldly again: "Have you forgotten where you came from?"
"...Then go find some more poison and throw it over there."
"You don't need to tell me."
The old man in blue had already added something to the ground before leaving, so you could say he used everything the girl had given him.
Now they had no choice but to hurry on their way.
"Let's go quickly, we're out of insect repellent powder, and we're still too close to them here."
As the old man in green spoke, he grabbed the old man in gray's arm and quickly headed towards the outer edge of the mountains.
