Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Hunter in Danger
 

“Do you think it’s safe to leave me here in the dead of night? I might as well stick close to you guys. That way, I’d feel more at ease, and we could look out for each other.”

Lin Yi didn’t want to say anything else, and he knew that looking out for Ling’er meant the big men would have to take extra care of her.

But there was no helping it. Thinking it over, he realized that the request from the others was not unreasonable at all, reflecting the genuine situation they were in.

“Alright then, let’s each grab our gear and hurry out of here. By the way, Hei Lang, do you remember the route we took this afternoon?”

Since it was carried out in total darkness, his memory of this afternoon’s route was indeed vague.

But he knew that Hei Lang had an exceptional memory, and once he had traveled a route, he could usually remember it quite well.

“Don’t worry, I made some marks along the way, so we shouldn’t have any problems. Just follow me, and I think in about half an hour or so, we should be able to get there.”

“I really don’t know when this guy left, nor do I know if he is in a safe situation right now. If something has indeed happened to him, we won’t have any way to explain it to his wife when we get back.”

“Are we in a position to worry about that much? We’re doing everything we can now to rescue him. If we can’t manage even that, then there’s truly nothing we can do to help.”

After finishing, they were resigned to their situation and finally, the three of them set out on their dark journey.

The journey was surprisingly smooth, without encountering much. As the hunter had told them, they were likely still on the outskirts of Xi Lian Mountain.

They hadn’t ventured into the deep mountains, so it was possible that the ferocious animals hadn’t yet detected their intrusion into their territory.

“Big brother, it should be here.”

Upon arrival, he pointed ahead, as he could see a patch of moonlight shining down on the swamp.

In the morning, this place looked like a grassland, but now it was clear that what lay before them was indeed a swamp.

“Look at this.”

He pointed to something nearby, and as they all turned to look, they indeed found a hunting rifle.

Since the rifle had been left here, it meant the hunter must have entered the swamp at that time.

But how exactly did he manage to enter the swamp in the middle of the night? Wasn’t that extremely dangerous?@@novelbin@@

“Big brother, has he really gone in?”

“I think he has gone in already, and look how neatly he placed the gun, close to a corner of the wall. It proves that he didn’t fall in from outside but entered deliberately and methodically.”

“But this is a swamp. How did he get in?”

“That, I’m not sure of, but if that’s the case, I’m certain he must be somewhere around here.”

“Brother, brother!”

At that moment, he shouted loudly towards the swamp.

He was well aware that screaming could startle the surrounding beasts, but at that moment, he couldn’t care less.

Since they had made it this far, there was no turning back now.

But as his echo rang out, Lin Yi heard no response from the hunter.

What’s going on? Could something truly have happened?

He furrowed his brow in worry, knowing that in such an open environment, his loud voice should definitely be heard by the hunter if he was nearby.

Could it be that the hunter really had an accident?

Anxiety started to settle in his heart, mixed with regret about not insisting they share a room that evening, which might have prevented the hunter from leaving so easily.

But then again, that didn’t seem right, and the fact that the hunter had brazenly entered their tent to take a Cat’s Paw Herb, plunging him into such a deep realm, was something irreversible for him.

He was about to speak again when he suddenly heard a strange noise ahead, as though someone was struggling in the swamp.

“Brother, is that you?”

Since he couldn’t think of anyone else there, and at this time, the only one likely to make a sound probably was the hunter.

“Quick, save me!”

He heard the hunter’s voice coming through, and he vaguely made out a dark figure ahead, bobbing up and down in the swamp.

“Quick, Hei Lang, hurry up and get the rope!”

Lin Yi turned around swiftly, thankful that Hei Lang had come prepared and had taken the rope straight off his waist, throwing it accurately to the struggling shadow.

With a gentle pull, he felt like he hadn’t caught anything solid.

“How is it? Did you catch it?”

“I’ve got it, hurry, don’t waste time.”

The hunter’s body seemed to get heavier, and as they processed this, they quickly picked up the pace, pulling him out of the swamp step by step.

But the closer they got to the end, the greater the force seemed to be, as if pulling Ling’er, though it felt stronger than the resistance Ling’er had posed.

Finally, with an enormous effort, they managed to pull the man out of the swamp.

The moment they emerged, Lin Yi was shocked because they saw blood on the lower part of the hunter’s legs, and it seemed like the bleeding wouldn’t stop,

“Ling’er, what… what happened?”

He turned his head to look at Ling’er, who quickly approached and checked the wound.
