After Hou took Xu Que's hand and escorted him out of the cave, he stood in front of the cave entrance, in a wide expanse of wild grass, watching anxiously as Xu Que's figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.
She wanted to catch up with him several times during this period, but she held back because she thought that she might just be a burden if she went.
Hou ran into the cave and obediently sat on the stone bench next to the stone slab. She picked up a pen made from a sharpened twig and, following Xu Que's instructions, began to draw their stone tablet commemorative album. She drew while wiping away tears with soft sobs.
The chieftain's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. She came into the cave, slightly out of breath, and took out a wild fruit from her animal-skin food bag. While eating it, she said, "Oh dear! I'm so hot! I'm so thirsty! I'm so tired! I'll eat this fruit to quench my thirst!"
"Do you want some?" The chieftain took another fruit from her own food bag and handed it to Hou.
He waved his hand and shook his head to indicate that he wouldn't eat.
The chieftain was eating fruit while looking at Hou's painting when suddenly her eyes fell on Hou's snow-white sneakers. She exclaimed in surprise, "Where did these shoes come from? They're so beautiful! This..."
As the leader spoke, he squatted down, hugged Hou's shoes and feet to his chest, and admired them up close.
She touched the snow-white, artificial leather shoes, lost in a deep reverie and contemplation.
Hou pulled his foot out of the chief's arms, stood up, walked around the cave twice, and said to the chief, who was squatting on the ground in a daze, "How does it look?"
"It's so beautiful! I want one too!"
"Hehehe! My boyfriend gave them to me! He only ever gave me this pair!" Hou proudly raised his head and strutted around the cave, showing off as he did so with an air of arrogance.
Wow! They're so beautiful! I wish I had a pair of shoes like these! Where can I find a boyfriend like this? I want one too!
Hou chuckled at the leader without saying a word.
"Eh?" The chieftain glanced at Hou's firm and full breasts, then quickly pulled up his collar to look inside, and asked in confusion, "Mine have always been bigger than yours, how come yours are suddenly so firm and big? Even bigger than mine? This is unbelievable! I clearly saw yesterday that yours weren't as big as mine! What happened?"
Hou decided to stop pretending to be low-key, so she took off her animal skin coat, struck what she thought was a very fashionable pose, and pointed to her bra with both fingers: "Hmph! See that? It's because of this!"
"This is called a bra! My boyfriend says it can effectively prevent breasts from sagging! It can protect them well, giving your breasts a warm and comfortable home! It can also promote blood circulation... In short, wearing it has many benefits!"
"Wow! This is so high-class! This is truly an eye-opener for me!" The leader leaned closer and roared, examining and touching her bra from an even greater distance, looking as if he couldn't put it down.
In the primeval forest, Xu Que and Ha Gang followed the path carved out by wild beasts, heading towards the heart of the forest.
Wild animals often roam the bushes beside the path, and the remains of various animals, some hairy and some hairless, are scattered everywhere.
Xu Que held a boning knife in his hand and chopped away the vines and branches blocking his way.
Hagang was tough and thick-skinned, and with the protection of his armor, he had the ability to charge around recklessly. He didn't even bother to grab the branches blocking his way, and directly used his body to fight against everything around him!
“We’ve been walking for half a day and haven’t seen a single animal! Not even a mouse or a rabbit! Could it be that the animals are on holiday today?” Xu Que said, using a boning knife to chop at the branches blocking his path.
Hagang also found the animals' behavior today truly strange. He usually encountered many animals here, but today he hadn't seen a single bird; it was definitely illogical!
Not far from Xu Que, a crooked tree was hanging from which hung a horned antelope, its blood dripping onto the ground.
Xu Que felt a surge of panic and thought to himself, "This antelope looks like it was just caught, right? Why don't I see the hunter who caught it?" After saying this to Ha Gang, Xu Que scanned his surroundings with a very vigilant look, afraid that some animal might be lying in ambush behind him in the grass.
Ha Gang sniffled and clenched his fists so hard they cracked: "It seems there's a beast here even more ferocious than a saber-toothed tiger! I bet all the animals have been scared away by it! Last time I came here, I could see several saber-toothed tigers on the hill in front of me, but look, there's nothing here now!"
"The hunter who caught the antelope in this tree probably abandoned his hard-won prey to escape when he saw this ferocious beast!" This time, Hagang didn't sniffle; instead, he spat a mouthful of phlegm into the grass beside him.
A low, faint roar came from not far ahead.
Xu Que felt his hair stand on end and goosebumps rise all over his body.
Hagang gestured for him to hide behind a large rock.
Xu Que quickly hid behind a large rock, gripping the boning knife tightly in his hand, adopting a defensive posture, and occasionally peeking out of the rock to check the situation.
Ha Gang was indeed a veteran of tough battles, showing no fear whatsoever in this situation! Now, with the added protection of the True Emperor Armor, he stood firmly in front of Xu Que with his arms crossed in front of his chest! His expression was calm and composed, as if he didn't care about anything at all.
Three seconds later, a colossal Titan covered in bumps and lumps appeared opposite Hargon! It was more than five times larger than Hargon.
Xu Que was so frightened that he quickly pulled his head back behind the rock, muttering to himself, "My god! The size difference is huge, is this even going to work? Are we going to die here today?"
Hagang stared intently at the colossal Titan, finding it strangely familiar! A moment's thought, and he exclaimed, "Isn't this Gu, the guardian deity of the seven major alliances of the mid-tier tribes? You've been missing for so many years, so this is where you've been all along! I'm Hagang, do you remember me?"
The colossal Titan ignored Hargan and charged at him like a collapsing mountain.
Ha Gang was thrown to the ground by the sudden, enormous impact, blood streaming from his nose, his head buzzing.
Before Hagang could catch his breath, he saw the giant Titan raise a rock bigger than a rhinoceros and hurl it at him without mercy.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Ha Gang seized the opportunity and rushed forward, delivering two over-the-shoulder throws to the giant titan! Then he grabbed the titan's head and began to beat it mercilessly!
The giant titan sensed it was no match for Hargon, so it feinted an attack and roared as it fled deeper into the primeval forest.
Ha Gang uprooted a tree as thick as a bowl and threw it like an athlete throwing a javelin in the direction "Gu" had fled.
He wanted to start chasing after them, but he was worried that he had fallen into Gu's trap of luring him away from the mountain.
After all, protecting Xu Que is not only his responsibility but also his mission!
