Chapter 50, Canyon Fright
Ren Xiaosu didn’t need to go out to look for food now, under the fear of death Liu Bu even ignored Ren Xiaosu with the food, they were now thinking about if they survived tonight, or how to walk out alive, instead of worrying about what to eat at night.
Tonight some people didn’t even set up their tents, afraid that being inside the tent would delay their escape, but Xu Xian Chu stopped them, “All set up your tents, it’s late fall, if you don’t even have a shelter from the wind, in case you guys get sick you really won’t be able to walk out of the mountains!”
Everyone raised the campfire, all of them sat around the huge campfire in silence, although none of them dared to go far or walk into the woods again when they picked up firewood, but the portions they picked up under the united effort were quite a lot, it seemed that the bigger the flames were, the more secure their hearts felt in general.
This time Ren Xiaosu did not build the fire alone, because Xu Xianchu asked him to join him in this discussion.
“What gives him the right to sit here,” Liu Bu said in dissatisfaction, “How can we sit with the stragglers? Ren Xiaosu, sit back a bit.”
No one refuted Liu Bu, as they had no need to offend someone like Liu Bu because of a straggler.
Originally, everyone was sitting in a circle, but it turned out that Liu Bu was insisting that Ren Xiaosu sit alone towards the outside, as if he was a spectator.
They do need some of Ren Xiaosu’s opinions, but in Liu Bu’s opinion, what they ask Ren Xiaosu to sit back and answer what is good.
However Xu Xian Chu was much more sensible than Liu Bu, “Stop talking about irrelevant things, we need to seriously discuss the issue of going and staying now.”
The one who insisted on going to the Realm Mountain before was Xu Xian Chu, as he had to consider his future and his situation in the barriers, but now he was also resigned to the idea that even if he was kicked out of the refuge barriers as a straggler, it was still better than dying here.
The soldiers of the private forces trusted the cold guns in their own hands, but when they realized that they were facing something that the guns might not be able to solve anymore, they would have a great fear.
Their greatest reliance could no longer provide them with a sense of security.
Xu Xianchu said when he saw that everyone had quieted down, “Now we are faced with a dilemma, on the one hand, we pass through this canyon, but the canyon is filled with unknown dangers, possibly even creatures that those Transcendents would have a hard time dealing with, or else it would be hard to explain who exactly came here single-handedly to leave behind the engraving that the living should not enter.”
“And on the other hand,” Xu Xianchu continued, “there are hidden dangers in the woods as well; Xu Xia’s mysterious death, as well as the mysterious disappearance of Xu Xia’s corpse, are all unsolved mysteries, so we’re not sure exactly what we’ll encounter on our way back.”
Luo Xinyu suddenly said, “Actually, although there have been dangers in the woods, it’s always not so bad that we’re all wiped out, after all, there are still so many people alive after we came over, but it’s hard to say about the dangers behind the canyon, so I think it’s better for us to go and face the woods.”
They had only lost one person when they crossed the woods as well, even if another one died on the way back, then the unlucky one might not be themselves ah, so turning back was probably their best option.
Xu Xianchu was still a bit torn, do they really want to go back, after they go back, they still don’t know how difficult it will be to face the superiors in the barriers.
Everyone was silent again, Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaoguan, he found that the other party is still a very calm look, as if it does not matter whether to stay or go.
Wait, could Yang Xiaoguan be the legendary Transcendent?
Ren Xiaosu couldn’t confirm it, but for some reason he suddenly felt as if Yang Xiaoguan’s purpose for coming here was different from everyone else, once when he was eating the fish Ren Xiaosu thought that Yang Xiaoguan might be Luo Xinyu’s friend, so he came to protect Luo Xinyu.
But the problem was that Luo Xinyu and Yang Xiaoguan didn’t show any particularly close relationship, it was just employer and employee.
Ren Xiaosu had some aspirations for the Transcendents that Xu Xianchu and the others were talking about, but wasn’t jealous because he himself was a so-called Transcendent, he just hadn’t grown up yet ……
Luo Xinyu observed Xu Xianchu’s expression and said, “Sir are you worried about returning to the situation inside the barriers, you don’t have to worry about that, after you go back, I’ll help you find someone to transfer out of the private forces can be good, even if you go to do clerical work can be ah.”
Xu Xian Chu froze for a moment, “Seriously?”
Luo Xinyu seriously said, “Seriously, I, Luo Xinyu, still have some influence in the barriers.”
These words seemed to help Xu Xianchu finally make up his mind, “Good, then we’ll depart early tomorrow morning and head back to the Barrier of Evasion!”
Right at this moment, the wind in the canyon stopped, the loud raucous noise suddenly disappeared, and the entire forest became silent.
Just in this quietness, everyone suddenly heard a chewing sound coming from the side of the pickup truck, everyone’s sweat hairs stood on end, Liu Bu trembled, “What’s that sound?”
“It seems like it’s from the pickup truck’s bucket!”
Everyone looked over in horror, they couldn’t understand, wasn’t there only supplies in the pickup truck’s bucket, and Ren Xiaosu was by everyone’s side, so where did the sound in the pickup truck’s bucket come from?
Xu Xian Chu’s face turned gloomy after he was scared: “I really don’t believe that anything can stop bullets!”
Said he greeted the private army toward the pickup truck slowly approaching the past, this chewing sound should last for a while, just the canyon wind is too loud, they did not hear it!
Ren Xiaosu also stood up, it seems that his own physical quality has become stronger, causing him to wear only a thin jacket in this late fall season is not too cold.
He kept his bone knife in his hand, and when he turned his head to look again, Yang Xiaoguan also had his hand on the pistol he was carrying.
Xu Xian Chu and the others were slowly approaching, but suddenly a black shadow jumped out from the pickup truck bucket, Xu Xian Chu and the others were shocked and couldn’t think carefully before shooting.
The black shadow in mid-air suddenly encountered fierce gunfire, even was a few bullets flying backward, this is the pickup truck bucket again came loud, Xu Xianchu they do not even think about toward the pickup truck bucket crazy shooting.
Click click click!
The sound of the gun empty chamber sounded, this group of private forces directly to a shuttle bullet all finished, the entire pickup truck is full of holes miserable. The fuel tank of the pickup truck began to leak, I don’t know who actually shot the fuel tank position, a bullet hole left on it.
However, Ren Xiaosu wasn’t worried about the car blowing up, because there was relevant knowledge within the advanced firearms skills: unless incendiary bombs were used, it would be difficult to directly shoot the gas tank to blow it up.
Xu Xian Chu slowly approached over, ready to check out the black shadow that had popped out earlier, only to be a little annoyed upon seeing that the black shadow that had scared them had turned out to be nothing more than a rat that had come to steal food!
“How did this rat grow so big,” Liu Bu was shocked, “I’m afraid it has to be the size of two human heads.”
Xu Xianchu put down the fear in his heart and looked towards the inside of the pickup truck, which was another rat that had been beaten into a sieve.
It turned out to be a false alarm, everyone’s nerves are too tight, a little bit of wind and grass will make everyone suspicious.
The time to go back, no one can not go back to this huge mental pressure.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly turned back to look at their way, only to see a silver wolf standing not far away from the top of the mountain towards their side of the distant look, is the wolf king!
It’s over, how did they come back so quickly!
