Chen Jiaxu struggled violently, shouting, "What are you doing! Let me go! I am the bravest warrior, I want to fight!!!"
Mo Shuwan gritted her teeth and punched Chen Jiaxu, then dragged him along as they continued running.
"Shuwan, where are you taking him?"
Ah Xiang's voice made Mo Shuwan stop abruptly, a chill running down her spine. She took a deep breath and put on an angry expression, "Ah Xiang! How could you deceive the clan leader and us!"
What are you saying?
"You just said you found five prey, but look, there are clearly seven! You lied to us, and now I have to ask that good-for-nothing to come with me to catch the two escaped prey." Mo Shuwan's voice grew louder and louder. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that everyone, whether they were fighting or already dead, was facing her.
Even though none of the dead people had opened their eyes, she felt as if countless eyes were staring at her.
It was terrifying.
She lowered her head uncomfortably, but then suddenly noticed four rows of tiny footprints on the ground. She often played with Hope's tiny paws in the stratosphere, so she immediately recognized the four rows of footprints and breathed a sigh of relief. "Look, these footprints on the ground were left by those two prey!"
Chen Jiaxu stopped struggling and looked down. Sure enough, he saw several rows of footprints and muttered unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me directly, we might have caught those two escaped prey by now."
Mo Shuwan stared at A Xiang with her lips pursed, the chilling gazes still lingering on her face.
Ah Xiang looked down at the rows of small footprints, and the stiff expression on her face finally disappeared. She stomped her foot in frustration, "It's all my fault! I missed two prey! I really have to thank you this time."
The moment Ah Xiang spoke, Mo Shuwan finally felt the chilling gazes on her back disappear. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to relax completely. The crisis was temporarily averted, but whether she could leave with Chen Jiaxu was still a question.
"Ah Xiang, you should go back quickly. I think these few rows of footprints are very small. Chen Jiaxu and I can handle them."
“No, we can’t.” Ah Xiang sighed, reached out and grabbed Mo Shuwan’s arm, and whispered, “You saw it too, those prey are very powerful, we are no match for them at all. You can’t leave now, if you leave, we will be even less of a match for them.”
Mo Shuwan gritted her teeth and said, "I can't do anything about it either."
But Ah Xiang clearly wasn't going to let Mo Shuwan leave. Her grip on Mo Shuwan's arm tightened, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. The reappearing gazes forced Mo Shuwan to stiffly follow Ah Xiang back to the battlefield, where she or Wen Zuo in another node would kill her.
...
Seeing Ah Xiang running towards them from a distance, Mo Shuwan sighed and, with Wen Zuo and the others who were growing weaker behind her, took the initiative to approach Ah Xiang.
Just like countless previous cycles, Ah Xiang hugged Mo Shuwan's arm as soon as she arrived, either happy or complaining about why Mo Shuwan had taken so long to return.
As Wen Zuo and the others were about to drink the soup, Mo Shuwan used the same method as before to take them to her house, gave all three of them a recovery potion, and then sat quietly inside the house, waiting for the night to arrive.
There are only two days left until the game ends, and she can only take one person with her at a time...
Mo Shuwan bit her lower lip, her brows furrowing deeply. She hadn't considered who to take away, because this time it was very likely that, like last time, she would be stopped by A Xiang or other clansmen at a crucial moment. How could she take Wen Zuo and the others away without attracting their attention?
This time, Mo Shuwan thought about it for a long time. The scene when she set off at night was similar to that of last night. After experiencing it once, Mo Shuwan paid more attention to A Xiang. Then she found that even when she was on the road, A Xiang’s eyes were always on her. Even after she noticed, A Xiang did not look away. Instead, she grinned and gave her a smile.
Mo Shuwan suddenly remembered those details she had overlooked: Why was it always Ah Xiang who came out to greet them in each reincarnation? Why was it always Ah Xiang who discovered the 'prey'? Why was it always Ah Xiang who gave them soup?
Looking at Ah Xiang, who was turning her head to look at her, Mo Shuwan pursed her lips and temporarily suppressed her other thoughts.
There's definitely something wrong with this Ah Xiang; the key might be her!
After having made a guess, Mo Shuwan's anxious mood calmed down a bit. She silently followed at the back of the group, and as she got closer and closer to the place where she and Wen Zuo would meet at another node, she slowly looked up at A Xiang.
Even now, Ah Xiang still hasn't looked away. Mo Shuwan pursed her lips and watched Ah Xiang walk away, stepping on the spot where they had hidden before. She couldn't help but frown. After confirming that Ah Xiang hadn't 'found prey' again, Mo Shuwan turned her head and glanced at the place where something almost always happened, causing everyone to fall into the cycle again.
Why? Why didn't she enter the cycle of reincarnation this time? Why didn't Ah Xiang find any prey this time?
There were no problems on the way, and the group of over a hundred people quickly arrived at the next oasis. Mo Shuwan sat silently on the grass, watching Ah Xiang who was busy not far away. She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards Ah Xiang.
However, she had only gotten up and taken two steps when she was bumped by someone who suddenly rushed out from the side. Her badly injured body instantly collapsed to the ground from the impact. The person who bumped into her looked up at her blankly for a moment, then continued walking forward with a dazed expression.
Mo Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up from the ground and quickly caught up with the unsteady person. When she saw the person's face clearly, she was even more surprised, "What are you doing here?"
Since she regained consciousness, she had never seen Yang Zhou in the cycle of reincarnation again. She and Yang Zhou had discussed this matter, and their final conclusion was that Yang Zhou had already escaped the cycle of reincarnation, so he no longer existed in this cycle. But now Yang Zhou had reappeared in front of her.
Yang Zhou stared blankly at Mo Shuwan, seemingly not understanding what she was saying.
"What's wrong with you?" Mo Shuwan frowned. Just as she was about to take Yang Zhou to another place to check on his condition, two clansmen rushed over from behind and snatched Yang Zhou away. The two clansmen pushed Mo Shuwan aside and carefully examined Yang Zhou.
"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and go back to gather your prey. If the chieftain sees you slacking off here, he will definitely not let you off easily."
