There were a lot of trees on the mountainside. It was completely different from the situation at the foot of the mountain. There were even some changes.

"Is it safe to stay here at night?"

Hua Rou looked at all of the things in front of him, as if she was still somewhat afraid.

"Don't worry, it's alright. I'm already prepared. Just set up the tent and take precautions."

Shi Lei laughed.

Hua Rou's originally very nervous mood instantly disappeared without a trace along with Shi Lei's smile.

"Alright, let's work together."

This was the first time Shi Lei and a girl that he had only known for a short while started to do something together. In the quiet middle of the Nine Links Mountain, other than the occasional sound of animals, there was only the sound of two people working together.

Ten or so minutes later, they were finally all completed. Looking at the dark green tent, Shi Lei felt a little awkward no matter how he looked at it.

"Who chose this color?"

Shi Lei looked at Hua Rou, and did not expect the latter to be looking at him with a strange gaze, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"Please, it's good enough that you can buy it. Do you think it's easy to buy it at this time?"

Before he had come, Shi Lei had never even thought about this matter. It was only after he had arrived at the county city that he realized that it was best if he brought along something.

However, it was too late to buy it now. Many shops had sold out and it was really hard to find one that could still be sold.

"Alright, alright. Quickly lie down and rest. We have to continue tomorrow."

With at least half the journey left, and not just the unknown future, if he did not have a good rest, Shi Lei really would not dare to continue onward.

After eating a little dry food, Shi Lei and Hua Rou went into a sleeping bag each. Although it was not much different from staying in the same room, they still felt it wasn't that awkward.

"Do you think that this time, we will successfully get《 Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic》?"

Hua Rou who was tossing and turning about seemed to be unable to sleep. After realizing that Shi Lei had also not fallen asleep, she asked softly.

There was silence in the area, quiet to the point where it was somewhat scary. There was no sound at all, but when Shi Lei asked this question, Shi Lei seemed to have sunk into deep thought.

"Un …"

How should he put it?

Shi Lei laughed, then said: "If you ask me about this, I don't know, but do my best. Back then, in order to become a qualified Chinese Medical doctor, I experienced a lot of things, so doing one's best will be enough."

Recalling the past, Shi Lei heaved a heavy sigh.

Hua Rou laughed, "We are more or less the same. In our place, for a girl to become a doctor is a very strange thing, much less a Chinese doctor.

"Although I don't really like this profession, the mission comes to me and I can only silently bear it."

Hua Rou laid on her back, looking into the distance, she could not see the sky, and said slowly: "Do you know how painful it is when I see someone suffering from sickness?"

Or perhaps, it was only now that Shi Lei could truly be considered to have gotten to know Hua Rou.

"Don't think too much into it, just go straight to sleep."

Shi Lei reached out his hands from the sleeping bag and gently patted Hua Rou's head. He looked at her dotingly, then laughed and said: "We still have to go tomorrow morning."

Hua Rou laughed out loud, but still nodded her head and closed her eyes.

Shi Lei did not dare to sleep too deeply tonight. In such a desolate place, there was a chance that something strange would break in at any time.

However, these few days, he was too tired. The journey was tiring, adding to the mental pressure, Shi Lei also wanted to stay awake for the night, but it was too difficult, Shi Lei was simply unable to do it. Not long after, he became extremely tired, and gradually closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, Shi Lei suddenly felt a change, as if something was moving near the tent.

Shi Lei, who was originally very sleepy, immediately stood up. He slowly pulled his body out of the sleeping bag, and slowly walked to the side of the tent's door.

He could hear panting. Although it was not loud, he could still hear it clearly in this quiet night.

Shi Lei did not dare to make any big movements, for fear of alerting the enemy.

That night, there was no moonlight, there were many dark clouds in the sky, and Shi Lei could not tell whether the shadow was a human's or an animal's shadow.

It was just that at this special moment, Shi Lei knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer. If the other party were to make the first move, it would be really difficult to ensure Hua Rou's safety.

He immediately summoned his Yin And Yang Power, opened the tent's door and rushed out.

However, he had never expected that the shadow's speed was so fast.

Shi Lei's speed was already fast enough, but he absolutely did not expect that the black shadow's speed was even faster. Almost the instant Shi Lei opened the door, it had already charged out.

He shouldn't be human. At first glance, he should be able to tell that he wasn't as big as a human.

At this time, Shi Lei had already forgotten that Hua Rou was still in the tent, he quickly followed behind the black figure and rushed forward.

"Swoosh!"

His speed was frighteningly fast, if not for the Yin And Yang Power s at Shi Lei's feet, he probably wouldn't even be able to see his butt.

After travelling through the forest for a long time, Shi Lei felt that the Yin And Yang Power in his body were about to disappear.

"Whew."

Shi Lei stopped and started to pant.

It seemed like it would be quite strenuous for him to stay in this forest. In order to alleviate his current weakness, Shi Lei took a medicinal pellet in time and waited quietly for a few minutes. When his body began to warm up, he prepared to return.

It was only now that Shi Lei remembered that he still had Hua Rou to wait inside the tent by himself. If someone with ill intentions approached his tent, Hua Rou would probably suffer.

Fortunately, Shi Lei was not an idiot. Although he had never come to this place before, based on his memory, Shi Lei still remembered clearly what kind of road he had come here on.

After spending the same amount of time, when Shi Lei returned, he found that Hua Rou had already sat up inside the tent, and was extremely nervous as he sat at the entrance.

"Where did you go?"

The moment she saw Shi Lei's figure appear, Hua Rou could no longer hold back the emotions in her heart, and directly threw herself onto Shi Lei's body, as she cried bitterly.

"Alright, alright, I'm back. I just saw a black shadow appear in the surroundings and chased after him."

Shi Lei slowly coaxed and patted Hua Rou's head, trying her best to calm her down.
