Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Encounter in the Woods

Watching the figure that kept getting closer, Helan Xiaoyue’s lips curled up into an enchanting smile.

“Zzzap–”

A burst of electric arc flashed, and the figure fell to the ground as it sounded.

“Sister Helan, up a tree again?”

The hissing sound of the electric baton man rang out.

Hearing this, Helan Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and jumped down from the tree branch.

“All taken care of?”

Helan Xiaoyue asked softly.

“Taken care of, just some small fries,”

the electric baton man shrugged and laughed.

“Load them up, let’s go.”

Helan Xiaoyue nodded and spoke softly.

The electric baton man nodded, grabbed Yu Tianqi and Yu Ling, one in each hand, and picked them up from the ground.

…

Fang Xiaocao lay in the sleeping bag, gripping a spring knife in her hand, seemingly resting with closed eyes, but in fact, she was constantly recalling knowledge about hypnosis in her mind.

Sharpening the axe will not hinder the chopping; procrastination is no help!

Fang Xiaocao thought that cramming at the last minute was better than lying down defeated.

Outside the tent!

Zhi Qi was on guard, alert to the surroundings of the camp.

In the deep mountains and old forests, wild animals were plentiful.

Without someone on guard, any member of the team might get carried away by a beast that suddenly burst in.

Listening to Zhi Qi’s footsteps, Fang Xiaocao felt somewhat reassured; at least Zhi Qi was reliable.

If the Scar-faced Monster came, she wouldn’t have to fight alone!

…

Wan Xiaozhou and Yun Luoshu were walking through the forest.

Wan Xiaozhou occasionally bent down to pick up a few sticks of dry wood and placed them in Yun Luoshu’s arms.

The two had a clear division of labor: Wan Xiaozhou was in charge of picking, Yun Luoshu of holding the firewood.

Suddenly, Wan Xiaozhou’s movements stiffened, staying bent over, motionless.

Seeing Wan Xiaozhou’s posture, Yun Luoshu blinked in confusion, eyes full of bewilderment.

“Xiaozhou, what’s wrong?”

Yun Luoshu asked curiously.

“Don’t talk, crouch down,”

Wan Xiaozhou said in a low voice.

“Ouch, I think I’ve twisted my back.”

said Wan Xiaozhou, then exaggeratedly exclaimed.

Hearing this, Yun Luoshu was taken aback but still obediently crouched down slowly as Wan Xiaozhou had instructed.

“Xiaozhou, what is it?”

Yun Luoshu asked in a low voice while crouched on the ground.

“There’s someone!”

Wan Xiaozhou whispered.

“When I say run, we’ll head to the camp.”

Wan Xiaozhou instructed in a low voice.

“Okay.”

Though very puzzled, Yun Luoshu agreed.

Before leaving, Fang Xiaocao had instructed her to follow Wan Xiaozhou’s lead completely; if she didn’t understand something, just to do as told and not to talk too much.

Others’ words Yun Luoshu might disregard, but she would still listen to Fang Xiaocao’s.

Seeing Yun Luoshu so obedient, Wan Xiaozhou was somewhat surprised. She had been thinking about how to explain to this simpleton.

“I’ll count to three, then turn and run.”

“No matter what you encounter or hear, don’t mind it, just run straight to the camp.”

Seeing Yun Luoshu so docile, Wan Xiaozhou gave a few more instructions.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Yun Luoshu nodded in response.

“Three!”

Wan Xiaozhou called out softly and turned to run.

Yun Luoshu hesitated for a moment but instinctively followed Wan Xiaozhou.

But at that moment, Yun Luoshu’s mind was still wondering, “Where did One and Two go?”

Wan Xiaozhou, being a year-round fitness enthusiast with a Kung Fu background, was incredibly fast when she ran.

In the forest, she was like a nimble rabbit.

Even though Yun Luoshu was an athlete, compared to Wan Xiaozhou, he seemed like a clumsy bear.

Although he could barely keep up, catching up to Wan Xiaozhou would require much more practice.

“Shasha shasha…”

Footsteps sounded from behind.

Yun Luoshu was startled, and just as he thought about turning around, he remembered Wan Xiaozhou’s admonition.

“Don’t turn back…”

“No matter what you encounter, what you hear…”

“You must not turn back…”

Yun Luoshu panted and muttered to himself.

Wan Xiaozhou, with her acute sense of hearing, could still hear Yun Luoshu’s muttering even though she was running more than ten meters ahead of him.

Wan Xiaozhou slowed her pace, waiting for Yun Luoshu.

In Wan Xiaozhou’s eyes, Yun Luoshu was a goofy and amusing big guy.

If possible, she was still very willing to look after Yun Luoshu.

Of course, the premise was that helping Yun Luoshu wouldn’t threaten her own life.

“Shasha shasha…”

Once again, footsteps resounded from behind.

Wan Xiaozhou’s expression became somewhat heavy.

She could tell that this was an expert.

Looking at Yun Luoshu, Wan Xiaozhou gritted her teeth and further slowed her pace.

She began to run alongside Yun Luoshu.

Meanwhile, Yun Luoshu’s hand quietly slipped to his waist and drew out a dagger, tightly clutching it in his palm.

“Luoshu, no matter what you hear, just keep running, understand?”

Wan Xiaozhou glanced at the dagger and whispered.

Even while running quickly, Wan Xiaozhou’s breathing was still very steady, her voice unwavering and steady, being transmitted into Yun Luoshu’s ears.

“Okay…”

Hearing Wan Xiaozhou’s words, Yun Luoshu replied breathlessly.

“Remember, no matter what you hear, don’t be afraid.”

“After getting back to the camp, don’t worry about me, immediately tell everyone to run fast, I will meet up with you all.”

Wan Xiaozhou gave a few more instructions, and without waiting for Yun Luoshu’s response, she again slowed down, going from running side by side with Yun Luoshu to trailing behind him.

“Don’t blame me…”

“If I can’t kill him, you’ll have to die.”

Looking at Yun Luoshu’s back, Wan Xiaozhou murmured to herself.

Having spoken, Wan Xiaozhou, without turning her head, flung the dagger in her hand; with a “whoosh,” the dagger shot out toward the person behind them.

Simultaneously, Wan Xiaozhou quickly picked up her speed and, with a “swoosh,” darted into the bushes beside her.

Without looking back, Wan Xiaozhou knew she had not hit the person behind her.

This signified that the opponent was an expert.

More formidable than she had anticipated.

Although not impossible to deal with, it might require a great sacrifice. @@novelbin@@

Therefore, Wan Xiaozhou…

decided to abandon Yun Luoshu!

Wan Xiaozhou believed that her just-thrown dagger had served its intimidating purpose.

Anyone with sense wouldn’t chase after her but would go after Yun Luoshu.

Without her protection, Yun Luoshu was like a slab of fat on a chopping board.

Being caught was just a matter of time.

Run back to camp?

Heh…

That was just Wan Xiaozhou deceiving Yun Luoshu.

Wan Xiaozhou darted into the woods immediately concealing her form, and in a few moments, she had climbed a big tree with dense branches.

Wan Xiaozhou hid among the treetops, her eyes intently fixed on the path they had run along.

She wanted to see who the pursuer was.

“Shasha shasha…”

Footsteps sounded, and a man appeared on the path.

The man was of average build, wearing a set of cheap storm gear, but his face startled Wan Xiaozhou.

What a face it was!

An evil spirit from Hell couldn’t be much worse, could it?

As the man passed the big tree where Wan Xiaozhou was hiding, he paused briefly, turned his head toward the treetop, and revealed a terrifying smile.

Seeing the man’s smile, Wan Xiaozhou’s heart skipped a beat; she knew she had been discovered.
