Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 65: Chapter 065: Can You Not Play Him Like This

The hunting team, trapped in the mountain and unable to find a way out, strove for time to escape the labyrinth at daybreak. No one dared to take the situation lightly, and they followed the lead hunter Zhang, weaving through the woods with difficulty.

Despite having an argument with Village Chief Peng Chunlai the night before, Hunter Zhang still led everyone with due diligence.

However, the fog was dense in the woods early in the morning, visibility was extremely low, and given the lingering fears from the day before, there were many cautious delays, which cost considerable time.

Yuan Xiao couldn’t hold out past midnight, and slept stuffily until this morning. When he woke up, he was fixated on one thing.

At every chance, he wanted to ask Tang Zelin.

“Boss, aren’t you curious about what the Village Chief brought into the mountain that made the old hunter angry?”

While walking, Tang Zelin checked the surrounding terrain to ensure the direction was correct. As someone who often traversed the mountains, he could see that the leading Hunter Zhang was cautious and would not overstep any bounds.

He guessed that if it weren’t for the unexpected entrapment here, the other party wouldn’t have contemplated this step.

Regarding the part Yuan Xiao was curious about, Tang Zelin turned his head and smiled mischievously.

“Do you know why you can’t behave recklessly when hunting in the mountains?”

Yuan Xiao said, “Because there are a lot of rules.”

“Exactly, and the most important rule is, if you shouldn’t ponder something, don’t ponder it.”

“Eh, I don’t believe you aren’t curious?”

Climbing up a small hill, Tang Zelin laughed, “Not curious.”

If he were curious about everything, he would have died in the primeval forest of Heilongjiang long ago. How could he have survived until now?

Yuan Xiao was persistent, catching up by leveraging a tree branch to pull himself up, “But what if I am curious?”

He really wanted to know what the Village Chief had brought into the mountain that caused the old hunter such rage, to the point of declaring it would put everyone in danger.

Curiosity killed the cat, and Yuan Xiao’s heart was as anguished as if it were being clawed at.

Yet frustratingly, the boss walking ahead seemed unconcerned.

Perhaps they were lucky, or maybe yesterday was just a false alarm?

After wandering for half a day, they finally made it out of the maze. Along the way, Tang Zelin noticed that Hunter Zhang had whispered something in the Village Chief’s ear, after which the Village Chief quietly left the group at a small crossroads and took a different path.

Alone in the forest—highly dangerous. Even more bizarre was that all the villagers seemed as if they saw nothing and kept silent.

Tang Zelin remained silent too, and Yuan Xiao with his nimble eyes glanced around, originally wanting to ask where the Village Chief had gone. But seeing no one else react and even Tang Zelin not saying anything after contemplating, he too shut his mouth.

All along the way, his eyes were busy looking around, pondering something.

An hour later, Village Chief Peng Cunlai stood at a path ahead, reuniting with the main group. Returning to the team, he approached Hunter Zhang and murmured a few words.

Hunter Zhang nodded, his expression much softer than before.

“Bro, I’m still curious,” Yuan Xiao whispered from behind his shoulder.

“Let’s walk and see.”@@novelbin@@

When Tang Zelin said let’s walk and see, that meant he was also interested in the matter. Yuan Xiao’s mouth curved into a smile.

If his boss was interested in something, he was sure to get to the bottom of it eventually.

However, half an hour later, Yuan Xiao was no longer smiling.

What the fuck! Grandpa’s beard, what bizarre thing has he stumbled upon?!!!

A patch of top-grade red Lingzhi mushrooms? Treasures coveted by everyone in Yanxia.

Do you think that’s odd? No~no~no~
