031. Lost in the morning
After walking for a little more than a day, Bai Xiaoqiu and the others finally walked into the forest unavoidably, and the atmosphere in the caravan was much more depressed. After all, unlike the comfortable and stable trade routes, the dangerous forests made them have to put a lot of energy into vigilance, and their body and energy were very strictly consumed, so they naturally lost the strength to laugh.
The forest in front of me borders the forest at the entrance of Yishan Village, but it has two different names, and the demon beasts active in the forest are also completely different, in other words, in the online game, the challenge level of this forest is higher than that at the entrance of Yishan Village, and it is said that there are even high-level demon beasts active in the depths of this forest.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaoqiu and they were just passing by, and they only needed to stick to the periphery of the jungle and pass through, so most of the demon beasts they encountered were miscellaneous fish-type goods.
On this day, Bai Xiaoqiu and the others had just finished dealing with a wave of fire-tailed beasts and were cleaning the battlefield, when suddenly He Biwu's ears moved, and they heard a rush of footsteps not far away.
"Everyone, be careful! Someone's coming! β
He Biwu's words immediately put everyone on alert, although the hunter group is very united, and in 99% of the cases, it is a mess of mutual love, mutual assistance and harmony, but there is no one to see at the moment, and there is no harm in being more careful.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and after a while, they came to everyone, only to see the grass shake, and three came out of it.
The first person was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, wearing a pink armor, followed by two younger brothers, both wearing standard armor issued by the Hunter Guild. One is about twenty years old, and he has been staring at Shi Manqian since he appeared, and the other looks like he is in his early thirties, his eyes are narrowed into a slit, and he is smiling heartlessly.
"Ahhh~ saved!" The leading man sighed as if relieved when he saw the people in the caravan.
"What are you hiding? panicked, "The other party's brainless exclamation made He Biwu's nerves tense even more."
"Behind is a group of peach fur beasts. We all use light crossbows, and we didn't have enough supplies when we went out, and now we have no bullets and can't deal with them, can you please help? The leading man quickly explained the current situation.
He Biwu looked at Granny Shi as if asking, and when he saw that she nodded, he said, "You guys hide next to you, and those peach fur beasts will be handed over to us." β
Sure enough, after a while, several peach-haired beasts popped out of the grass again. However, these trash fish obviously posed little threat to the well-prepared full-fledged hunters, and after being beaten by Ping Pong, they left a few corpses behind and retreated.
The pink-haired leading brother came to Granny Shi again, and introduced himself: "My name is Hong Zhen, these two are my teammates, Wang Xi," he pointed to the young man in his twenties, "He is Wei Yuchi." β
He pointed at the small-eyed young man again, and then said, "The little ammunition we brought has been exhausted, and now we don't have any ability to protect ourselves in this forest, can we act with you and get out of this forest."
Forest? He paused and said, "We'll pay." β
Granny Shi said with a smile: "There is no need for compensation, it is also a kind of fate to meet each other when you go out, so you can act with us for the time being." β
"Thank you, thank you, I'm so sorry to trouble you!!" Hong Zhen hurriedly thanked him, and then pulled Wang Xi and Wei Yuchi and said, "You two stupid boys, why don't you hurry up and thank your aunt?!" β
"Thank you, auntie!"
"Thank you," Wang Xi was still peeking at Shi Manqian when he thanked him.
He Biwen secretly grabbed Bai Xiaoqiu at this time, and whispered in his ear: "You pay more attention to them, I always feel that their appearance is a little strange." β
Bai Xiaoqiu nodded, he also felt like this, after all, for hunters, weapons are the lifeblood, no matter how short of heart and eyes they are, they will not forget to buy ammunition. Cheng DΓΉ, who can force himself to run out of ammunition, is really a little abnormal, either his brain was really blown away by a fart of the Peach Fur Beast King, or these people were suspicious and deliberately ran to approach them. In short, there is no big mistake in being careful.

Soon it was nightfall, and the group stopped, lit a bonfire, and let the two cats make some cold dishes, boil a pot of hot soup, and eat dry food.
Hong Zhen and the three of them were embarrassed to come over at first, sitting next to them and nibbling on hard steamed buns, but then Wang Xi couldn't stand the aroma and couldn't stand it, so he cheekily mixed into the crowd of the caravan. He was embarrassed to pretend not to see it at the beginning, so he simply called the other two over and beckoned them to serve soup and vegetables.
Wang Xi seemed to really have a mind about Shi Manqian, and after finishing the soup, he sat next to Shi Manqian with an inch, and cheekily accosted: "Xiaosheng Wang Xi, dare to ask Miss your surname Fang?" β
Shi Manqian's appearance is lukewarm, and the beautiful demeanor of everyone who matches her appearance is vividly displayed: "My name is Shi Manqian." β
Wang Xi moved his butt to Shi Manqian's side again, and said with a shy smile: "Meeting is fate, next time we have the opportunity, let's team up to do tasks together, how about it?!" ~ I'm very powerful, take you to pretend to be * force you to fly! β
Shi Manqian replied calmly: "Let's wait until you remember to bring bullets."
Wang Xi wanted to say something more, but Hong Zhen suddenly jumped out at this time, dragging him away by the ear: "I'm sorry, the discipline is not strict, so I made everyone laugh." β
After that, these people were very honest, obediently followed the team, and consciously set up their own tents next to the caravan when they slept at night, and they had been moving in a relatively safe range, and there was no abnormal behavior, and even Wang Xi did not come to harass Shi Manqian again.
A day later, everyone finally walked out of the forest and returned to the trade route again, all the way was calm and uneventful, and Hong Zhen and the three of them also left immediately after walking out of the forest, as if they were indeed just ordinary hunters with a weak brain.
There was only one day left before Bangshui Town, and Bai Xiaoqiu's goal was already in front of him.

On the other side, after separating from the caravan, Hong Zhen and the three of them were arguing about something while hurrying.
"Don't trouble us, you kid! At the beginning, I saw that you were pitiful and took you into the team, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless and lose all our ammunition supplies! I sue you, if this happens again, no matter what you say, I'm going to kick you out of the team! Hong Zhen pointed at Wang Xi's nose and lectured.
Wang Xi said apologetically with an embarrassed expression: "Ah, it's really troublesome for everyone, in this case, I don't have the face to stay in this team anymore, the 1,000 peach coins in the bag are my compensation for everyone, let's say goodbye!" After he finished speaking, he really threw down the money bag and turned to leave.
Hong Zhen and Wei Yuchi were both stunned, and after glancing at each other, Hong Zhen muttered, "I scolded him too hard?" Why did you just leave like that? β
Wei Yuchi silently opened the money bag: "Hey, it's really 1,000 peach coins!" β
Wang Xi, who had already walked into the distance, didn't care about the conversation between the two behind him, a dangerous smile provoked on the corner of his mouth, his eyes looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: "I haven't hunted for a long time, I can't help it, I hope this time the target can give me more surprises." β
