Black Cat looked at Ji Yueyao, but couldn't say anything to refute her. What she said was absolutely right. No matter how good the partners were, as long as betrayal was involved, then any friendship would cease to exist.
"The snow fox is here." The black cat, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke, standing up and looking at the jungle behind him.
Ji Yueyao also stood up. She brushed the stray hairs that were sticking to her forehead back, rubbed her eyes, and felt uncomfortable because the hair was sticking into them.
The snow fox's figure emerged from the darkness. Ji Yueyao couldn't see his expression in the dim environment, but his sorrowful and desperate aura was clearly conveyed.
The snow fox gently placed the mangled corpse on its back onto the ground, then knelt down beside it.
The black cat didn't speak. He looked down at the disfigured fire fox lying on the ground and could only bend down to pat the snow fox's back.
"I don't want him to be buried here," the snow fox murmured, its trembling hand gently touching the fire fox's charred face, then carefully tracing his eyebrows and eyes with its fingers.
The black cat shook its head, squatted down, and hugged the expressionless snow fox. "Bury him. Are you going to keep carrying his body around until he rots and stinks?"
"But he is my only brother, how can I leave him here... how can I..." Snow Fox said in a muffled voice, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, but in the end she could not stop them from rolling down her cheeks.
The termite also went over and patted the snow fox on the shoulder, silently comforting him.
Ji Yueyao remained standing in the same spot, looking at the three white ants, feeling as if she didn't belong with them.
They are partners, comrades-in-arms, so what am I standing here? I'm feeling a little... a little homesick.
Ji Yueyao touched her arm; it felt a little cold.
"Why are you here too?" Snow Fox seemed to only then notice Hundred Ant and Ji Yueyao. He calmed himself down, looked up at Ji Yueyao, and then frowned.
“We’ve come to see the adults,” the termite explained softly. “It’s an order from above.”
"Orders from above? Then what did you send her here for?" Snow Fox stood up directly and looked at Ji Yueyao, clearly dissatisfied. He had been very unhappy about the General's infatuation with Ji Yueyao from the beginning. Ji Yueyao was just an ordinary girl; what ability did she have to be worthy of their god-like General?
However, since the adults are protecting her, they, as her subordinates, can't say anything. But shouldn't Ji Yueyao just obediently listen to the adults and ensure her own safety? Why did she run to such a dangerous place?
"Ji Yueyao, what are you doing here?" Xuehu tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction, but his tone still revealed a hint of unwelcomingness towards Ji Yueyao.
“I have healing abilities, which would cause trouble in the Forbidden Forest, so the captain…” White Ant saw that Snow Fox was clearly targeting him and hurriedly came out to explain to Ji Yueyao. However, Snow Fox seemed to have no patience to listen at this moment and rudely interrupted White Ant, “What help can an ordinary person like her be? She’ll only cause trouble. Let me tell you, Ji Yueyao, we will not spare anyone to protect you. Our only goal is to find the master, so you’d better have some self-awareness.”
Although Ji Yueyao possesses unknown and powerful superpowers, she gives off an overly ordinary vibe, making it impossible for anyone to accept that she is a strong person.
Ji Yueyao blinked, but didn't offer any explanation. In a sense, it was indeed because of her that the termites were being dragged down, and anything she said would seem weak and powerless. Moreover, her current physical condition wasn't good, and she had already made careful preparations.
“Captain, she’s not…” White Ant was clearly unhappy. To him, Ji Yueyao was now his superior, so he was about to defend Ji Yueyao. However, before he could finish speaking, Ji Yueyao patted his back, signaling him to shut up.
"I understand." Ji Yueyao nodded heavily to the snow fox. It wasn't time to argue about such a thing.
Seeing that Ji Yueyao was so sensible, Xuehu pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. He was already in a bad mood and really didn't want to be bothered by Ji Yueyao, an outsider.
The snow fox thought to itself, then lowered its head and gently stroked the fire fox's cheek. Taking a deep breath, as if having made up its mind, it stood up and took a step back. "Bury my brother... one day, I will let you see the light again."
The black cat looked worriedly at the snow fox who had made up his mind, nodded, raised his hand and turned over the soil. In just a few seconds, the fire fox lying on the ground was swept into the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
"I will definitely avenge you." Snow Fox knelt on the ground, looking at the traces of the disturbance, and murmured to himself. But in the quiet Forbidden Forest, his murmur reached the ears of Ji Yueyao and the others. Ji Yueyao looked up at Snow Fox but did not say anything.
"It feels like something is approaching." The snow fox suddenly stood up, looked around, and said coldly, "It's moving very fast, and there are a lot of them."
The termites and the black cat immediately became alert. "What is that? Which direction is it from?" The snow fox's special ability is its keen senses, also known as sensory ability. This ability can detect hidden or significant dangers from all directions.
"I can't be sure what it is." The snow fox frowned, then took a step back in fear. "Direction... in all directions!"
The black cat and the termite were both taken aback, and then quickly began to look for a place to hide. Generally speaking, in this situation, the only option was to run to higher ground as much as possible.
“A Chinese superhuman.” Ji Yueyao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
The Central-type aliens possess a certain level of intelligence and are roughly the size of humans, but have extremely strong explosive power. They generally live in groups.
"How did you know?" Snow Fox asked almost instinctively.
“Special ability.” Ji Yueyao’s lips curled into a slight smile, barely noticeable unless you looked closely. As she sorted out the chaotic fluctuations and thoughts in her mind, almost every rustle of wind and movement in her surroundings entered her consciousness, as if she could find some key parts from the conversations of a crowd of people around her.
Snowfox was highly skeptical, but Termite naturally believed him unconditionally. He looked at Ji Yueyao and asked softly, "If it's a mid-level superhuman, even if we hide in the tallest tree, we could still be discovered at any time... Captain, what should we do now?"
Ji Yueyao's head was throbbing when a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind her. She frowned almost imperceptibly, then strode to the front and said, "Come with me."
"Where to?" the snow fox asked suspiciously. It knew that in the Forbidden Forest, being surrounded by other creatures would only hasten their demise if they wandered around aimlessly. (To be continued.)
