Chapter 688, The Hustle and the Bustle
“When you’re on watch, you must be careful of what’s going on outside the camp,” Ren Xiaosu gave Yang Xiaoguan a reminder before she went to sleep, “The footsteps from last night, they did appear, it’s impossible for so many people to mishear them, and if something’s wrong you’ll just shoot, the sound of the gunfire will wake everyone up. ”
Yang Xiaoguan nodded, “Well, do you have a feeling that now is very much like when we were in Realm Mountain.”
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Still keeping watch over each other, but this time our relationship ……”
Yang Xiaoguan interrupted, “I mean it’s just as weird, there’s no way to know who the real enemy is ……”
“Ow, you say this ah,” Ren Xiaosu said, “I think this place is earlier than the realm mountain appeared changes, maybe it will be more dangerous right.”
“Sacred places of manifestation,” Yang Xiaoguan pondered, “There are only these two places of manifestation in the entire Barrier Alliance, but since Qing said that it was because a god was born here, then why have we never seen a god?”
“Maybe we didn’t recognize them even when we saw them,” Ren Xiaosu said, “But I think paper can’t wrap fire, and the truth will come out sooner or later.”
“Well, you go to sleep,” Yang Xiaoguan said softly.
That night, everyone didn’t sleep soundly, including Ren Xiaosu.
Everyone was speculating that if there really was something following them, then sooner or later the other party would strike, right?
On the surface, no one seemed to be panicked, someone asked each other if they were afraid during the fellowship, and everyone said hahaha not afraid at all.
But at night everyone stopped drinking water for fear that they would have to go to the toilet in the camp at night. ……
Therefore, this night everyone was waiting for that weird spirit to come near, no matter whether they were on night watch or not, all of them were waiting.
However until the dawn of the day, still nothing happened.
At this time, everyone still couldn’t sleep soundly, because they were worried that just as they fell asleep, Ren Xiaosu would go crazy again and yell at everyone to get up.
Therefore, Cheng Yu thought to wait for Ren Xiaosu to shoot and wake everyone up, then he himself would sleep well again.
So he waited and waited and waited, but when the day dawned, Ren Xiaosu didn’t move.
Cheng Yu drilled out of the tent with two dark circles under his eyes, he felt that this time he had a very bad experience leading the team!
Just as everyone was getting up to wash up, Cheng Yu came to the center of the camp with a heavy face and said, “The other team has had an accident.”
As soon as these words came out, swish everyone’s eyes turned to Cheng Yu, and someone asked, “What happened, was the whole army wiped out?”
“No,” Cheng Yu shook his head, “It said that an unknown creature attacked people who went out to go to the toilet during the night, only one person died, everyone also went out to look for him in the morning, and they just found his body, and his insides were emptied out.”
Someone asked, “Did you see what was responsible, only the internal organs were eaten, was it a carrion animal?”
Ren Xiaosu frowned when he heard this, this was probably the misconception that many people had about carrion animals, in fact most carnivores in the wilderness prioritized eating the internal organs of their prey, because the internal organs were high in nutrients, especially cholesterol, and were also good for digestion. They usually eat the offal and then move on to the meat.
Therefore, there was no way to determine the other party’s species just based on what they liked to eat.
Yang Xiaoguan looked at Ren Xiaosu, she knew that among this group, she was afraid that Ren Xiaosu still knew the most about the wilderness, “Can you deduce anything?”
“It’s hard,” Ren Xiaosu said and looked at Cheng Yu again, “Where was it found, were there any footprints or feces nearby, and what shape was the edge of the wound?”
Cheng Yu shook his head, “The information I received on my side is very limited, I only know that he was found a few dozen meters outside of the camp, no one heard his cries for help, there are teeth marks on his neck, and he instantly fell into a fainting spell after being attacked by the sneak attack.”
Ren Xiaosu whispered to Yang Xiaoguan and Big Lulu, “Can’t see the other party’s teeth marks, and don’t know how many internal organs the other party ate, can only simply guess that the other party might be a lone creature and isn’t too hungry, or else it would have dragged the body away and hidden it, hiding it in a similar cave or tree to guard it. It looks like it’s a very powerful creature that doesn’t have any natural enemies in the wilderness, doesn’t fear crowds, is patient, and will sneak up on people.”
But even after deducing all this, there was still no way to know what exactly the other party was.
Big Snooze panicked and said to Cheng Yu, “Why don’t we turn back, why are you guys still going when it’s so dangerous.”
Ren Xiaosu skimmed his lips, Big Snob started acting again.
However, Cheng Yu said: “Since you have received money, don’t keep beating the drum for me, just take your path. We’re not advancing any further today, that team in trouble is only fifty kilometers or so away from us, and now the top is asking us to merge and advance.”
Ankyoji also seemed to have not expected the attrition to occur so soon, so he simply merged the two teams so as not to spread out his forces.
In the afternoon of that day, the people sitting in the camp with nothing to do suddenly heard footsteps.
Everyone stood up to look at the place where the sound came from, a loud voice panted while walking, “How much longer before we can join up with the other team ah, I say that you Anjing Temple is also too wimpy, this is only one person died and then hurry to merge the teams, do you have to tire us out to be able to do it?”
Another voice said icily, “Boss Luo, if you don’t want to enter the holy mountain you can quit.”
“Quit?” Luo Lan clamored, “Who am I to quit, I’m your C-rank assassin ah, you sent me a text message telling me to rally, and now you’re telling me to quit? No way!”
“What’s the point of you, an ordinary person, coming to make a scene!” The Anjing Temple’s people’s voices grew more and more unhappy.
Ren Xiaosu couldn’t help but want to cover his face the moment he heard Luo Lan’s voice, he didn’t realize that there were even Luo Lan and Zhou Qi in this merged team!
Moreover, everyone else also still didn’t know that Luo Lan was already a Transcendent, looking at Luo Lan’s panting appearance, he was still pretending to be an ordinary person.
Ren Xiaosu, the person leading the group from Anjing Temple, had never seen him before, and he looked at Yang Xiaoguan, who also shook his head.
When the group walked out from the wilderness woods, the first thing that caught everyone’s eyes was Luo Lan’s burly body.
However, Ren Xiaosu realized that the previous Luo Lan was obese, while now Luo Lan’s body was a lot firmer, and even vaguely had the feeling of a pugilist now.
This makes Ren Xiaosu a little hard to accept for a moment ……
Luo Lan froze for a moment when he saw Ren Xiaosu, but he immediately averted his eyes as if nothing had happened, and did not have the slightest intention of greeting Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu smiled, Fatty Luo was as witty as ever.
Nor did he wait for the people from Anjing Temple to speak, Luo Lan began to greet the people behind him, “Alright, we’re finally here, everyone hurry up and sit down to rest and relax.”
Behind him, Anjing Temple’s people were helpless, this way Luo Lan even clamored for the master, just like a leader’s appearance, the aura completely overshadowed everyone!
