Seeing that a large number of corpse-eating kings were about to catch up, Ji Huaichuan and his companions came to an intersection. They wanted to rely on footprints to find the way they came, but because the footprints were messy, they couldn't find the correct one.
Ji Huaichuan wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by Aning and Wuxie, who were busy looking for a way.
Ji Huaichuan: ╮(￣⊿￣)╭Okay.
"Running like this isn't a solution. Let's find a place to hide." Aning looked around. "This way!"
Wuxie pulled Ji Huaichuan to follow, and fortunately no bloody plot of falling flat on the ground happened. Aning found a cave, and several people crawled in before the Corpse-Eating King caught up with them.
Zhang Qiling and his companions followed the pile of stones and soon found the location of the camp.
"Why is there a big ship here?" The fat man wondered as he looked at the big ship embedded in the stone wall.
"The one next to them should be Aning and his group's camp. No wonder Third Master and his group followed Aning and his group. They are really good at clearing the way." Pan Zi said, touching his chin.
"Then let's use courtesy first and then force, and find Wuxie first." The fat man put his hands on his waist and stepped on the pile of rocks.
Shen Tingsi looked at the camp in the distance and found something amiss. There was blood in the camp. He was sensitive to such things. He looked at the ancient ship again. It seemed that those people had taken out the things in the ship. He wondered if it would have any impact on Xiao Huaichuan.
Shen Tingsi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and take a look. Something is wrong with the camp." Then he walked over first, and Zhang Qiling followed after hearing it.
"Master Si has such good eyesight?" The fat man was still a little unconvinced, but he quickly followed.
They soon arrived at the camp and found several people lying on the ground. They were Aning's mercenaries. Zhang Qiling found a corpse nearby and squatted down to take a look. He saw that the body was covered with marks of being bitten by the Corpse-Eating King.
As soon as Zhang Qiling stood up, he found a person who looked a bit like Ji Huaichuan lying on the ground. He was covered with an innocent coat and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Wu Xie's coat?!" The fat man was also startled. He walked over and lifted the coat and pulled it. A corpse-eating king flew out from the corpse's neck. The fat man and Pan Zi just took out their daggers to stab, but Zhang Qiling chopped them in half with his knife.
"Thank goodness it's not naive!"
The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and Pan Zi also felt relieved.
"I didn't go with him just this once, otherwise I would have to spend the rest of my life in a temple!" said the fat man, with a bit of tears in his voice, obviously scared.
"Okay, let's search the entire camp. It looks like something sudden. I'll contact the rescue team first." Pan Zi also frowned, looking frightened.
Shen Tingsi came out of a tent on the side and said, "No need. I've already searched it all. There's no one here, and there aren't many useful things left. I brought them all with me."
Zhang Qiling still looked worried. He was still worried because he hadn't seen Xiaochuan.
"Hey, little brother, you were scared just now, didn't you think Tian Zhen was dead?" asked the fat man.
"No" He didn't think Wuxie was dead.
"Don't be so stubborn. You even chopped the Corpse Bug King into pieces. How great a grudge must that be..."
The fat man thought Zhang Qiling was worried about Wuxie, but Shen Tingsi saw clearly that he was thinking about Xiao Huaichuan. However, he was mean and didn't tell Zhang Qiling that Xiao Huaichuan was fine, so he deserved to worry more.
Ji Huaichuan and the other two went into the cave, and the Corpse-Eating King followed them, hovering above the cave entrance and refusing to leave. Ji Huaichuan realized later that these things might have followed him, and wanted to go out to lure them away, but Wuxie refused. Ji Huaichuan knocked Wuxie unconscious with a knife and asked Aning to keep an eye on him.
Aning also somewhat disagreed with Ji Huaichuan's idea of going out alone.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with you."
How can he make contact if he doesn’t go out?
Only then did Aning let him go. Sure enough, not long after Ji Huaichuan left, there was no sound outside the cave. Aning carefully crawled out of the cave and found that the Corpse-Eating King and Ji Huaichuan were gone. He frowned and went back to the cave to wake Wuxie up.
…
"Sister Xuannv, next time we meet, can you please not make such a big scene? I almost didn't react."
Ji Huaichuan sat on a stone chair, eating grapes and drinking wine, and when he had nothing to do, he would tease the small animals raised by Xuannv.
Xuannv was a general under the Queen Mother of the West. She was brave and good at fighting, could control and drive animals, and was loyal to the Queen Mother of the West.
Ji Huaichuan got along well with her when they were young. They had similar interests and many common topics.
"I only found out about you from Shuangcheng. You're nothing like you were when you were little. There are many things you don't want to tell me."
Xuannv sat aside and wiped the weapon in her hand. It was her usual weapon, a sword given to her by the Queen Mother of the West. There was a colorful snake tail across the end of the sword, and the tip of the tail would flap from time to time.
"How could that be? It's because we haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm afraid that Sister Xuannv will miss me too much and can't help but fight with me." Ji Huaichuan smiled embarrassedly.
Xuan Nu glanced at him and said unhappily, "I'm not inconsiderate. I know you're not in good health right now and you definitely can't beat me, so I won't spar with you."
"Thank you for your understanding, sister~"
"I heard...you are very close to that kid from the Zhang family?" Xuannv looked at Ji Huaichuan.
"Oh, yes, we get along pretty well, and he's very caring towards me. It's rare for me to make a friend like that. Sister Xuannv wouldn't even send someone to investigate this, would she?"
Ji Huaichuan looked nonchalant, which made Xuannv give up the idea and continue to wipe her sword.
"No, I know his background. He is just from a family that guards graves. There is nothing to investigate." There was a hint of disdain in Xuannv's tone. As always, she disliked everyone.
"Zhuihong is about to be beaten to a pulp by you, just let him go!" Seeing that Xuannv no longer asked about him and Zhang Qiling, Ji Huaichuan quickly changed the subject.
"What the master has given you must be cherished. Do you think everyone is like you, taking the master's kindness lightly?" Xuannv rolled her eyes at Ji Huaichuan.
"Me? That woman and I are incompatible, so naturally we can't get along."
"You! Please be careful with your words, little prince. Your master has good intentions towards you, and you shouldn't hurt her feelings like this!" Xuannv said angrily.
Seeing Xuannu was angry, Ji Huaichuan didn't want to offend her. "Okay, okay, I knew you couldn't stand hearing bad things about her, so I didn't say that."
"Okay, tell me, why did you bring me here?" Ji Huaichuan no longer wanted to reminisce about the past and went straight to the point.
Xuannv frowned. She noticed that Ji Huaichuan was a little unhappy, but since he had spoken ill of his master, she didn't try to coax him.
"Nothing, I just want to ask you why you dismantled my sister's coffin."
"I'm afraid that what you did will be discovered and it will be bad for you. It would be better for everyone if the coffin is dismantled. Also, your sister suddenly turned into a zombie. In order to protect myself, I have no choice but to kill her again."
Ji Huaichuan had a blank expression on his face. He didn't feel anything about this matter. He just explained it to Xuannv out of courtesy. It was more of a notification than an explanation.
Ji Huaichuan took out a box from his backpack and handed it to Xuannv. "Here, it's for you."
Xuannv took the box, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"
