The Chilu Mountains are huge mountain ranges located east of Heglila, stretching from south to north to the coast of the North Sea, belonging to the Republic of Jieluni in the south and Chiyan Peak, the highest peak in the Chilu Autonomous Prefecture, in the north. Due to its location in the seismic zone of the Chilu Volcano, there are many geological disasters here, with more than a dozen volcanoes located on the Chilu Mountains, and Chiyan Peak is a dormant volcano, the most recent eruption dates back to 1,000 years ago.

The unique volcanic features of the mountainous area contribute to the year-round hot climate of the Chilu Mountains, which means scorching land in the Gugeruni language, and the sand and gravel are so hot that exposure to the sun is a hundred times more painful than staying in the oven.

Almost every hundred meters of the Seven Artifact Expedition had to find a shady place to rest for a while to replenish their moisture, and the three girls had to sit around listening to Ling Wenxuan's nagging for a while.

Ling Wenxuan didn't plan to name this team, recruiting Lan Lingxiang into the gang was his biggest failure, this eldest lady insisted on giving them the name "Seven Artifact Expedition", he was secretly glad that it was an adventure rather than an adventure, even if he was down, he didn't want to play the banner of an adventurous traveler, and in the face of the bargaining of the creditor lady, he compromised again.

Lan Lingxiang looked like the kind of daughter who stayed at home all day and never went out, and she actually carried such a big bag to salute, Ling Wenxuan knew what was inside, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, and clothing accounted for the vast majority, and the key equipment for survival in the wild was not at all.

The place where everyone rested for the third time was chosen on the back of a huge rock, and when Ling Wenxuan, Gui Xun'er, and Youna leaned against the cold rock one after another, Lan Lingxiang, who was the last to arrive, finally couldn't help but be furious.

"You are simply teammates of a group of pigs, the name of the team is my name, and the cost of the journey is in my pocket, but none of you have come to help me carry things, and you are talking about the spirit of cooperation, it's so hateful!"

Yu Na hurriedly stepped forward to help Lan Lingxiang unload the burden on her shoulders, but her kind behavior caused Ling Wenxuan's dissatisfaction: "Xiao Na, she scolded us for being pigs, and you still helped her? Besides, we are here to find the Seven Artifacts, not to travel, who can blame her for bringing so many treasures to herself?"

"Father, the eldest lady didn't do this because of you, so I can't be more considerate of her......" Before Youna finished speaking, Lan Lingxiang's body behind her was abnormal.

I saw her legs slump to the ground, clutching her chest and panting, her face turned pale, and her eyes instantly lost their luster.

Lan Lingxiang's terrible panting sound made Gui Xun'er and Youna suddenly scramble, Ling Wenxuan remembered the special medicine for the treatment of comprehensive pneumothorax that Steward Li gave him before leaving, but fortunately, in the pocket near his chest, he found the small silver bottle, hurriedly shot one, pinched Lan Lingxiang's cheeks, and fed her the water in the pot with Youna.

"Grab a wet towel from my backpack. Gui Xun'er answered the call and found a towel and handed it to him, and then Ling Wenxuan carefully wiped Lan Lingxiang's forehead, and helped her to a cool place to rest with Youna.

Under Ling Wenxuan's careful conditioning, Lan Lingxiang's complexion gradually improved, but her anger did not subside, and she was about to get up and continue to quarrel.

"My eldest lady, count me as making amends for you, don't make a fuss, no, the weather is so hot, coupled with your irritable temperament, it is easy for your comprehensive pneumothorax to recur, and I will have to take care of you then, am I easy!" Ling Wenxuan slapped himself twice, with a sad look of defeat, "Taking care of a Miss Saro, it is enough for me, and I also need to add a sick and weak lady, I am really bad as a captain, be considerate of me, learn to control your emotions." ”

"That's good! Next, you have to follow me and follow me in everything, you are not allowed to talk back to me, you are not allowed to sneer at me, you are not allowed to look down on me, and ......" Lan Lingxiang stood up suddenly, and suddenly became more energetic, "You just become my servant, this backpack is for you to carry for me, if I find that there is one piece of jewelry missing, you have to be a servant for life to pay off the debt." ”

"Okay, okay...... It's all up to you. Ling Wenxuan looked unhappy and reached out to carry the shoulder strap of Lan Lingxiang's backpack, and muttered quietly, "I just cured your comprehensive pneumothorax, and the princess's illness has been committed again." ”

"What did you say?"

"Well, nothing...... Miss, you go first, and I'll follow you. Ling Wenxuan hurriedly smiled and respectfully made a gesture of please.

Lan Lingxiang clasped his hands proudly and smiled: "That's right, now Miss Ben has promoted you to be my housekeeper, and you will guide me honestly, understand?" Steward Ling. ”

Ling Wenxuan hurriedly took out the map that Hilna handed him before leaving, nodded and said, "Yes, yes...... Miss, we walked more than twenty kilometers down the mountain and saw a forest, and through the woods was the village of Grancia. ”

"Very well, our sisters are leaving! Lan Lingxiang picked up his mountaineering crutches and strode forward.

Gui Xun'er and Youna passed in front of Ling Wenxuan respectively, Gui Xun'er shook her head and pursed her lips with a sympathetic expression, while Youna smiled apologetically.

It's hateful! You won't even help me! When the time comes...... Anyway, the Bible teaches us to be sympathetic to the weak, and to accommodate not only the accumulation of good deeds, but also the manifestation of our generosity.

Ling Wenxuan persuaded himself to be patient in his heart, he shook the backpack on his shoulders and followed.

This forbearance endured for more than two hours, and when they walked into the forest under the mountain, Ling Wenxuan could barely keep up with the pace of the three people in front of him, and if he continued like this, he would lose it sooner or later, so he came up with a way to reduce the weight on his body.

Ling Wenxuan cut a hole in his backpack with a knife, and every time he walked, he reached in, grabbed the treasure inside and threw it behind him. He thought that if Lan Lingxiang was investigated, he could lie that Lan Lingxiang's backpack was broken, and he just didn't notice it.

In this way, it was naturally a lot easier, Ling Wenxuan couldn't help humming a little song, but she didn't want to arouse Lan Lingxiang's suspicions, she stopped and turned around, glaring at Ling Wenxuan: "With my backpack on your back, can you walk so fast?"

"Actually, I was teasing you last time, after such a long time of recuperation, my legs can already walk like flying, what is this weight?"

Gui Xun'er looked at the fading glow: "Since the priest's leg is fine, then let's hurry up, you see that it is not too early." ”

Ling Wenxuan looked back with luck, and was immediately taken aback when he saw it, because the pearl necklace he had thrown not far away just a few minutes ago suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Someone must have been following them secretly, picking up the discarded treasure while he wasn't looking.

In order to confirm his inference, Ling Wenxuan decided to lure the snake out of the hole, and he still lost it as he walked, until he walked in front of Lan Lingxiang.

"Stop...... Stop...... Stop, there must be something wrong with you guy, stop me!" Lan Lingxiang drank Ling Wenxuan, and she found that the size of her backpack had shrunk by nearly half.

"My eldest miss, what's wrong with you?" asked Ling Wenxuan pretending to be relaxed.

Lan Lingxiang carefully inspected her backpack until she touched the crack: "What's going on?"

Ling Wenxuan sighed, and pretended to be sorry: "Oops! Why did I break such a big hole, I'm really sorry, I didn't notice." ”

"Hurry up and go back and look for me, if you can't find you, don't come back to see me!" Lan Lingxiang clenched his fists, and he was about to get angry.

"Miss, don't be angry! I'll help you find it. Ling Wenxuan pretended to nod again and again, and then quickly rushed to the adjacent woods, in fact, he just walked around and then turned back, "I suspect that we were followed by a thief, and the thief picked up the treasure that fell from the backpack, otherwise it would be impossible to find the thing that was not lost for a long time." ”

Ling Wenxuan's realistic acting skills made Lan Lingxiang believe what he said a little, and asked anxiously: "Then what should I do? ”

"A simple little trap is enough to deal with a simple-minded thief. Ling Wenxuan said and unloaded the backpack on his chest, took out a small shovel from it, and then began to dig the soil with the shovel, and after a while, a shallow pit in the shape of an inverted pot was formed, he wound the rope into a ring and put it in the pit, and the other end was fixed on the treetops, and then he asked Gui Xun'er and Youna to find wild grass and dead branches, and hide everything around, and finally Ling Wenxuan put a pair of bracelets in Lan Lingxiang's backpack near the trap.

"Hey, can you succeed in this method?" Lan Lingxiang asked in a whisper as he burrowed into the nearby jungle.

Gui Xun'er on the side covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Priest is a master of survival in the wild, this kind of trap can not only catch beasts, but also people." ”

After making the trap, Ling Wenxuan jumped into the grass to listen to the movements around him.

Soon, a pink-shirted girl with a * bag appeared in their sight, she had a ball on her head, she looked fifteen or sixteen years old, her ruddy face was innocent and cute, and the trotting movement was difficult for people to associate her with the female thief.

The girl's eyes seemed to sparkle as she saw the pair of bracelets on the ground, so she removed the sack, looked around for a moment, and walked towards the bracelets.

At the moment when the girl picked up the bracelet, she stepped on the trap mechanism, only to hear a scream, and her whole body was immediately hung upside down on the tree.

"Haha! You little thief finally let me get caught. Ling Wenxuan jumped up and mocked the girl hanging upside down in front of him.

"Why should you be a thief at your age?" Yuna pulled the corner of Ling Wenxuan's clothes and motioned to put the girl down first.

"Miss Lan, come over and see if the contents are yours. Gui Xun'er opened the girl's sack and asked Lan Lingxiang to come and check it.

Lan Lingxiang carefully checked and found that the sack contained her jewelry necklace and various collectibles, fortunately they were all intact, and immediately turned to the girl angrily: "What is your name? ”

"I didn't steal anything, it was this person who kept taking out the treasure in his backpack and throwing it out for some reason, I just happened to pass by and picked it up. The girl pointed at Ling Wenxuan, her body struggling.

"You ...... the scourge!"

"Don't be angry, life is like a play, it's interesting to listen to the explanation first, wait for me to explain it first, the backpack is too heavy before throwing away the treasure, if you want to punish me to sweep the floor, both hands agree in favor!" In a hurry, Ling Wenxuan hurriedly recited a poem, hoping that Lan Lingxiang could dissipate his anger.

"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Ling Wenxuan's clown-like performance made Lan Lingxiang's face full of black lines.

So with the cooperation of everyone, the girl was put down, but before she could escape, Gui Xun'er still tied her hands with a rope.

"You wait and see, how dare you do this to me!" the girl yelled at Ling Wenxuan, "I'm Lin Yaoxi from the No. 1 Adventure Group in Middle-earth, the Langtian Adventure Group, and if I let my cousin know, I will definitely dismantle you." ”

"It turns out that your name is Lin Yaoxi, and this priest hates those self-righteous adventure travelers the most in his life, I advise you not to show mercy to people like me!" Ling Wenxuan took a proud step, and Gui Xun'er followed closely with the rope tied to Lin Yaoxi's hand.

"Hey, you guys go slowly!" Lin Yaoxi felt a pain in her wrist.

At this time, the sky was completely submerged below the horizon.
