C321

The things that happened here have completely surpassed everyone's expectations. The deeper we go, the more we feel that we lack courage, but no matter what, we still have to continue on this path, because there is no path of retreat. If we go back, we will die even more miserably.

There may be unimaginable challenges, but at least there is water and food, and we won't starve to death for a while.

After experiencing this incident, everyone once again became silent. Li Rujie patted my shoulder gratefully and didn't say anything more. After that, the large fellow continued to walk deeper into the forest.

We have been lost in this place for two days and have lost all contact with the outside world. I think that in these two days, the people outside must have received news of our disappearance.

They can't stay here and search for us. If they don't find us within three days, I don't think they'll keep searching.

This is what worries me the most. Even if we manage to escape after so much trouble, we might be exhausted and scarred. If we don't get supplies and treatment, we won't be able to survive.

Sometimes, I would suddenly come up with an idea. This time, I might have truly chosen the wrong time, and shouldn't have followed Li Youjie to take the risk.

However, this is all my own choice. I can't blame anyone else, so I have to continue walking forward no matter how difficult it is.

The group of people travelled through the dense forest. Since no one had visited this place for hundreds or even thousands of years, the vegetation was extremely dense and there was no road to walk on. We could only create a path ourselves, so our speed was very slow.

The cliff face was not far away, but there was a saying that was very good. "Watch the mountain and run like a dead horse." After walking for a long time, they were still very, very far away from the cliff.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened once again. Twilight shrouded the surroundings, and it was as if a huge black cloth had wrapped up the heaven and earth.

For some inexplicable reason, they felt depressed.

After walking forward for a distance, we found an open area. Everyone stopped and planned to stay here for the night. At dawn the next day, we would continue our journey.

Not to mention the wild beasts lurking everywhere in this forest, as well as the poisonous snakes roaming about this old forest. On the way, we encountered quite a number of poisonous snakes. Fortunately, it was all in the daytime, so we were able to discover them in time.

If he lost another person, it would be even more troublesome.

Therefore, after dark, Li Renjie chose to have everyone set up camp on the spot and wait until dawn before marching again.

Everyone was exhausted after a day of walking. Furthermore, they had experienced the incident with the fish poison during the day, so it was impossible for them to continue walking forward.

The place we chose was close to a big tree. The surrounding weeds were cleared and a tent was set up. Then the number was divided into three groups. The big guys took turns on the night shift.

I will be in the same group as Li Renjie, the rest of the special forces will be in the same group, and the remaining two will be led by Liu Changping.

When they were ready, it would be around 7 or 8 in the evening. The first half of the night would be much safer than the second half of the night, so the few most vulnerable soldiers would be on duty first. The rest would rest as soon as possible to maintain their physical strength.

Last night, because Gui Sha forced me to consume that Flood Dragon's Beast Core, the side effects were always a mess, so I was extremely tired. However, my swollen stomach had disappeared, and this was the only thing I could rejoice about. If I were to always look like I was 8 months pregnant, I wouldn't even be able to see my face if I were to leave this place alive.

I couldn't sleep well enough at first, and my mind was full of things, but I had to force myself to sleep, or I wouldn't be able to walk well tomorrow.

After chanting the Heart Tranquil Spell a few times in my head, I fell asleep. I don't want to care about those random matters anymore. If I die, I die. At this moment, my sleep is greater than the sky.

After falling asleep, I slept soundly and dreamless. When I woke up again, I was woken up by someone. I bewilderedly looked around and saw that the person who had woken me up was none other than Li Rujie.

Needless to say, it was time for us to be on duty.

I nodded my head and followed Li Renjie out with the wooden sword in my hand.

Tonight was a good night. The sky was filled with stars, and a bright full moon hung in the night sky. Such a scene was rarely seen.

As our numbers were constantly decreasing, there were only two tents set up. The special task force and Liu Changping's people were living together, so it was relatively safe.

Once I was outside, Li Renjie threw me a cigarette. I lit it and slowly started smoking.

Occasionally, we would glance into the distance and see some green eyes hidden behind big trees and grasses, sneakily looking in our direction.

Those are all wild beasts from this old forest. I don't know if it's out of curiosity or because they want to kill us, but they don't dare to come close.

They are afraid of fire, and more afraid of the weapons in our hands.

Li You Jie spat out a mouthful of white mist and turned around to look at me. He suddenly laughed bitterly and asked, "Brother Tian Luo, do you think that we will still be able to survive?"

This question surprised me. I smiled bitterly and replied honestly, "I don't know either. It can only depend on fate. But as long as we still have a breath in us, we can't give up. What do you think?"

Li Runjie didn't reply. He only silently nodded his head. His expression was somewhat sad.

I took a look at the Big Dipper and roughly estimated the time. It was about three or four in the morning, and it would be light again in two or three hours.

The unknown awaits us, and all we can do is fight it.

Time passed second by second. Li Runjie and I smoked quite a lot of cigarettes. Soon, there was a large pile of cigarette butts on the ground.

I don't smoke a lot and I haven't learned how to, but I want to smoke all of a sudden, probably because I'm too bored.

There was also a feeling of worry.

There were no problems during the first half of the night, and the second half was quiet, which was quite unexpected.

He didn't know where that crazy little warrior had run off to, nor did he know how he had managed to avoid all the dangers along the way. Perhaps, he had already died in this forest.
