Chapter 323 [Bringing just a few people to die]
After staying at Panyue Grassland for a day and getting familiar with the situation there, on the morning of the third day, Jiang Lili and the God's Messengers were ready to head towards the top of Yuemi Mountain.
The herdsmen of Panyue Grassland came to see them off with their own specialties. When they saw Jiang Lili and her men leave without hesitation, they felt less resistant to this strange goddess.
But when the herdsmen saw Jiang Lili bringing seven or six people up the mountain, they were shocked.
Xi Ya was extremely worried, especially since his cousin Xi Chengyun was also in the group. "Goddess, you're only bringing these few people up the mountain? You're not bringing more?"
To be honest, isn't this just seeking death?
Jiang Lili set out with six people. In addition to the two aloof gods' messengers, there were four young herdsmen who spontaneously followed her into the mountains.
Jiang Lili wore a faint smile on her face, and said in a calm tone: "These people are enough."
Wen Qiao and Xi Ya explained, "We're not going there to clash with the Moon Clan, but to resolve their problems. Bringing too many people would seem insincere and might even scare them."
"Everyone, please believe in the ability of the goddess."
Many herdsmen heard this and then looked at them, who looked like holy ambassadors seeking peace, ready to reason with others and persuade them, but saw no deterrent effect at all, so they shook their heads and sighed.
Is the goddess a little too confident?
"By the way, this old man is specifically responsible for taking care of Liao Xiao, the little divine envoy. He will stay in the camp with the little divine envoy. I'll leave him in your care while we're away."
At this time, there was a thick fog in the mountains. The figures of the seven people in their group looked particularly thin in the fog, as if they would be swallowed by the thick fog at any time, which made people feel uneasy.
After Jiang Lili and her group left, some herdsmen were worried: "Will the goddess and her group never come back this time?"
"Let's not even talk about whether we can recover the BMW. Are we going to have to collect their bodies in the end?"
"This is just the best-case scenario. What if they anger the Moon Clan and they get so angry that they come down the mountainside and kill us all?"
This sentence reminded everyone that the herdsmen were in danger, and the trust they had just built up in Jiang Lili disappeared completely.
Xiya heard the herdsmen's discussion and told them to stop their discouraging words: "After all, the Saint Lady did something righteous for our Panyue Pasture. Can you hope for something good?"
He waved his hand and dismissed the herders: "Okay, I have to go down the mountain to do something. You guys take good care of the animals you are responsible for."
"By the way," Xiya said earnestly before the herdsmen left, "We must take good care of the old man the goddess rescued and the little god who stayed in the camp."
"What if the little messenger runs off and something goes wrong? Have someone keep a close eye on him and notify me immediately if anything happens."
The herdsmen nodded repeatedly: "Brother Xi, you are very thoughtful. Let's do it right away!"

The road up the mountain was not easy to walk on, and the fog blocked the view. Jiang Lili and the others could only see the environment within a radius of ten feet.
The location of Mi Country is in the subtropical region. The trees on the mountains are relatively short, and large patches of emerald green moss are crawling on the tree trunks and soil.
Although the air was fresh, it was damp. Jiang Lili suspected that she would get moldy and grow mushrooms if she stayed in such a place for too long. She really didn't know how these reclusive Moon Clan members managed to live on the top of the mountain for so long.
The Moon Clan members who surrendered to Wen Qiao gave him a parchment scroll with a safe route into the mountains drawn on it. If they needed to go up the mountain to find the secluded Moon Clan members, they would take this route. The Moon Clan members on the mountain would not hunt along this route, and it would be less likely for them to accidentally injure people going up the mountain.
After walking up the mountain for an hour, the temperature was getting lower and lower. Jiang Lili and her group put on their cloaks and parted the thick fog. A clear stream appeared before them. "The area ahead is where the Moon Tribe lives. We herders have seen them fetching water from this stream before."
Jiang Lili's face was filled with joy. "Great! Now that we're here, maybe we can run into the Moon Clan sooner and ask them about it."
The four herdsmen who were accompanying her looked at Jiang Lili as if she were a fool. They thought that the goddess was too naive and thought the problem was too simple.
Xi Chengyun and the other four herdsmen were very nervous and were frightened like frightened birds at the slightest noise, while Jiang Lili, Xin Che and Wen Qiao watched them calmly as they were bluffing.
Xi Chengfeng: "Listen! There's a rustling sound ahead. Are they sharpening their knives, preparing to kill us?"
Wen Qiao: "That's the sound of leaves being blown by the wind."
Xi Chengfeng: "There's a noise on the ground. Is there a large group of Moon Tribe lying in ambush?"
Wen Qiao: "That's the sound of underground water flowing."
…
After several rounds, Jiang Lili and others were left helpless by them.
And the more they told the herders not to panic, the more panicked they became.
Xi Chengfeng looked like a worried old woman: "Goddess, Divine Envoy, your vigilance is too low!"
The other three herdsmen began to wonder if they would be trapped in a ditch if they followed such a group of people.
"We have been confronting the Moon Tribe for so many years and have gained experience. Just listen to us."
Just as they were talking, there was a heavy and rapid "bang bang" sound coming from the ground. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and turned their heads to see that it was a dark brown wild boar rushing out from the fog!
This wild boar is extremely strong, with short and thick limbs and strong muscles all over its body. Its fangs are turned upwards and are extremely sharp, which looks very creepy.
Jiang Lili couldn't imagine what would happen if she was hit by this wild boar.
Xin Che quickly pulled Jiang Lili away from the wild boar's path and drew the sword from his waist.
He turned his foot, and the sword flashed out like a silver crescent moon, accurately hitting the wild boar's vital part.
The wild boar was badly injured and its movements slowed down. It tried to steady itself and look at the person who hit it. However, before it could turn around, a spear cut through the air and was thrown from a distance, piercing through the wild boar's body with full force!
The wild boar, as big as a hill, grunted a few times and fell to the ground with a thud. The grunting gradually became weaker.
Jiang Lili looked at the big wild boar lying on the ground, then retracted her gaze and realized that she was now clinging to Xin Che like a starfish. She quickly loosened her hand that was holding Xin Che tightly, and touched her frightened little heart with lingering fear.
She glanced around and fortunately the herdsmen were so frightened that they didn't notice her.
Xin Che glanced at his sleeve which had been grabbed tightly by Jiang Lili. The fabric had become wrinkled, revealing the true reaction of the culprit.
