Chapter 413 The Young Master and the Young Lady
Linghu Xiang, who was guarding the door, heard the sound and hesitantly stepped into the cave.
The space inside the cave was much larger than she thought, and it seemed quite suitable for hiding and temporary residence.
But when Linghuxiang walked to Fang Yu and the others, she was stunned on the spot as the torch shone on the ground.
On the ground, there is a corpse.
A huge monster corpse.
The corpse is very large, similar to the outline of a bear demon, but there are signs of partial dismemberment.
Beside the corpse, there were traces of bonfire embers.
It’s just that the trace processing this time is very perfect, leaving almost no traces. It is completely different from the beginner-like trace processing before.
She and Dong Xingzhou were probably the only ones at the scene. Zhu Huidao, a person with extensive field experience, could see that the others were in trouble.
"Can you tell what kind of monster this is?"
Fang Yu asked.
Linghu Xiang frowned and shook his head slightly.
She can’t recognize every demon, but with her size, the demon should be pretty strong.
"Check around to see if there are any corpses of other demons." Linghu Xiang ordered.
Several people around were ordered to hold torches to investigate.
If there are no other little demons in the cave, it means that this demon has occupied the entire cave by himself, and his strength is undoubtedly powerful.
The results came back soon. Except for this big monster, there were no other corpses in the cave.
“It seems we have found a good place.”
Linghu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
If a big monster like this occupies a place, usually no other monster will come to provoke it.
Even if the big demon is dead now, it should be no problem for them to stay overnight. Safety is relatively guaranteed.
Lowered his body and began to carefully observe the demon corpse.
After a while, she suddenly spoke.
“Very strong.”
Fang Yu, who had already called everyone in the team into the cave, turned off the flames when it was time to turn off the flames, and set up camp when it was time to do so, was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Linghu Xiang's words.
“What?”
“The person who killed this bear demon is very strong!”
Ling Huxiang looked up at him.
“Stronger than you and me!”
Just don't take me with you.
After I broke through the realm, I didn’t even know how strong I was!
“Could it be someone from the Hei family?”
Fang Yu asked suspiciously.
"It's possible, but it's probably not the same group of people. Look at the traces of bonfires on the ground..."
"What traces of bonfire? Where are they?"
"...Look carefully at the lines here."
Fang Yu looked left and right, but couldn't see any problem, and raised his head in embarrassment. But Linghuxiang sighed.
“I’ll teach you how to see the traces later. In short, the method of this group of people dealing with the traces of the campfire, this method of mopping up the traces, is infinitely better than the previous group by the river. , They should be a group of people who are very experienced in the field."
Fang Yu felt a headache.
Anyway, there are strong people who walked on this road one step earlier than them and opened the way for them.
No matter, the ancestors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.
It’s time for you to take advantage of the situation and enjoy the benefits of future generations.
“Now that the bonfire has been dealt with, that group of people should have left, so we don’t need to worry.”
“Well, if we encounter this group of people later, we must not interfere with them. Conflict. The mission is yours, but your life is yours.”
Linghuxiang secretly lowered her voice and said the last sentence to Fang Yu.
It seems that the two of them have a consensus on the option of saving their lives.
Looking at the remaining bear demon corpses, the precious bear bile has been taken away by the group. The remaining parts seem to be of little use to the strong, but to the rest of the team It's a nice extra bonus.
People were sent to dismember it, and everyone got a part as a trophy. The team began to officially camp and rest.
Fang Yu got some high-quality bear meat and planned to take it back and cook it to replenish his second sister's health.
The night watchmen were arranged, and soon everyone fell asleep and rested.
Since there were only two top experts in the team, Fang Yu and Linghu Xiang kept vigil separately.
Fang Yu is responsible for the first half of the night, and Ling Huxiang is responsible for the second half of the night.
But before Linghuxiang fell asleep, Fang Yu pestered her to fill in some knowledge about the wild.
Unfortunately, Linghu Xiang was very punctual and would close his eyes and fall asleep when it was time to rest. He didn't care at all that there was a grown man standing next to him.
"Every rest time in the wild is very precious."
This was the last thing Linghu Xiang said to Fang Yu before closing his eyes.
Fang Yu had no choice but to stand outside and watch the night.
If you encounter a monster at night, you can harvest a wave of experience alone if you contribute by yourself.
Unfortunately, it was so quiet in the first half of the night that you could even hear the chirping of insects.
In the second half of the night, Linghu Xiang opened her eyes quite punctually.
"You sleep."
She and Fang Yu changed shifts, and a group of deputy captains took a rotation to rest.
Fang Yu decisively logged off, grabbed some food, and then hurriedly got online again.
When he is in the wild, he doesn’t feel at ease even when offline.
Fortunately, nothing happened when I went online.
Under Linghuxiang’s confused eyes, he got up and started practicing martial arts.
“You’re not going to sleep?”
“If you’re not going to sleep, practice.”
“…It’s up to you.”
Linghuxiang said no more, but she didn't let Fang Yu take over her job. Instead, she insisted on waiting until the middle of the night and the rising sun appeared on the horizon, and then she started to get everyone up and organize the team.
It was a peaceful night. Everyone had calmed down from yesterday’s tense escape, and everyone was in good spirits.
After a simple meal, the team started to set off again. Before leaving, Fang Yu specially asked someone to rearrange the vines at the entrance of the cave.
This good hiding place may be used again some time.
But Linghuxiang shook his head.
"The possibility of a second use of caves like this is very low. They might be occupied by other monsters at some point."
Monsters are the ones who live in the wild for a long time, and humans just pass by when they are on their way. That’s all, it’s self-evident to whom the cave most likely belongs.
The team set off and quickly disappeared into the mountains.
……
“……”
Zuo Lu looked at Hei Ao silently, with a look of complaint on his face.
But Hei Ao also stared back and glanced at the people around Zuo Lu, as if to say, 'Are you qualified to criticize me? ’.
"Miss, please stop flirting with him. If you go out secretly this time, can you still hide it from the master's eyes?"
Zuo Yun said in a low voice.
But the sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, and it was at a level that Hei Ao could hear.
Before Hei Ao finished speaking, the Hei family elder [Hei Yuxin], who was riding a big black horse and leading the way at the front of the team, spoke calmly. "Times have really changed now. Even the little maid can comment on what the young master and lady do. You think so, Zuo Cai'er."
It was obviously the maid who spoke, But the elder of the Hei family was not questioning the maid, but looking at Zuo Cai'er beside him.
Zuo Caier:...
Zuo Caier, dressed in colorful clothes, was silent for a while, then looked back at Zuo Yun, and said coldly.
"Catch yourself."
"Cai, Mrs. Cai! I..."
Pa!
Before Zuo Yun finished speaking, she was slapped out of thin air. Even though she and Mrs. Cai were still so far apart, she somehow got caught in the attack.
The huge force even hit her head to the side, causing blood to vomit from the corner of her mouth.
Only when the burning pain came, Zuo Yun realized that he was afraid. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Mrs. Cai, spare your life! Mrs. Cai..."
"Noisy!"
What Ling Zuo Yun never expected was that this time he suddenly grabbed her neck. The person in question was actually Miss Zuo Lu next to me!
She is Zuo Lu's personal maid, and she usually loves her sisters. Who would have thought that Zuo Lu would take action as soon as he said so, as cold as a stranger.
The neck was stuck so tightly that even the sound could not be squeezed out, and the red face was as ugly as pig liver.
The force was so fierce that Zuo Yun felt like he was about to die.
But everyone else in the team seemed not to notice and walked past her without any reaction.
Even the other personal maid [Zuo Yin] who served Miss Zuo Lu with her on weekdays did not look at her more, as if she had already regarded her as a dead person.
Among the team, only Hei Ao and Zuo Lu, who was holding her neck, stopped where they were, while the others in the team slowly passed by them.
Zuo Lu's eyes were calm, as if he was really going to kill him, but his eyes had slowly moved from Zuo Yun to Hei Ao beside him.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to see anything.
That indifferent expression could not read any information at all.
But Hei Ao, who has been familiar with him for some time, has seen a slightly different meaning in Zuo Green's eyes.
Sighing, Hei Ao suddenly saluted respectfully and said.
"Uncle Third, a living person is more useful than a dead person."
The team did not stop, not even the sound of the hooves of the black horse in front stopped, until the three people who were stopped were almost pulled down by the team. At this time, the voice of the elder of the black family came slowly.
"It seems that Ao'er is really tempted."
With just this sentence, Hei Ao's tense expression relaxed.
Zuo Lu, who noticed Hei Ao's reaction, immediately let go of his hand and saluted respectfully forward.
"Thank you, Elder Hei, for your kindness!"
Zuo Yun escaped from danger and fell to the ground, coughing loudly. At the same time, she also knelt down and kowtowed to the front. Until her forehead bled from the blow, Zuo Lu grabbed her arm.
"Follow me."
Zuo Lu didn't say much or explain anything, he just silently returned to the team.
Zuo Yun trembled and hurriedly followed, even if she stumbled every step of the way, she did not dare to leave Zuo Lu's side for even half a step.
Hei Ao returned to the team before the two of them.
The structure of this team right now is very strange.
There are the elites of the Hei family, the elders of the Hei family, the elites of the Zuo family, and the wife of the Zuo family.
The two groups of people from the five major families coexisted peacefully and formed a team to operate in the wild.
If you look carefully, you can see that the people from the Hei family are really dominant.
In the dangerous wilderness, respecting the strong is the most basic rule of survival. Even Zuo Caier, who is favored by the Zuo family, must recognize this principle.
"Master Yu Xin, if I had known that you would be following Hei Ao, there would be no need for our Zuo family to send people to follow." Zuo Caier said softly, as if chatting.
"If you don't follow, then that girl of yours will have to live in our Hei Mansion for who knows how long."
Hei Yuxin was chewing something in his mouth, as if it was Beef slices and the like, he responded nonchalantly, while his lazy eyes glanced ahead.
Looking like a relaxed posture, in fact, he did not let go of any corner around him, always paying attention to where monsters would appear.
Hei Yuxin seemed to be saying something, and people didn't know how to answer what he said. Zuo Caier could only lower her head and remained silent again.
As if thinking of something, he looked back at Zuo Lu, with a bit more complaint in his eyes.
This made Zuo Lu very depressed. He originally dared to lift the ban, but in the blink of an eye, this happened. After returning, he might not be able to go out for several years...
"It seems that you are at home. , I’m not doing well.”
Hei Ao next to him moved his lips undetectably and whispered.
Zuo Lu curled his lips.
You are the noble third young master of the Hei family, how can I compare with you.
She is in the Zuo family, and her ranking is not much higher. Her priority is far lower than that of the sisters in front of her.
I just inherited the art of left-handedness, and my potential for performance is not bad. It has only been slowly and intensively cultivated in the past few years.
Zuo Lu looked at the surrounding experts from the Hei family and the Zuo family and sighed.
They originally thought that the two of them would join forces to do something big and seize the equipment.
Unexpectedly, both she and Hei Ao were followed by their own masters.
What kind of adventure in the wild is more like playing house in the wild!
Nothing happened on the first night, but when I got lost the next day and hid in a cave to encounter a big demon, all my masters showed up.
On the spot, he took over command.
At that time, the elder Hei Jia said something that almost made Zuo Lu break his defense.
‘Your adventure is over. Ao'er, how do you feel? ’
Their dangerous adventures were just playing house under the protection of their families. Maybe the monsters that leaked in were specially put in after being filtered by my masters.
As for getting lost, it was even more outrageous. The two inexperienced people almost wasted most of their time walking in circles.
It can be said that the actions of the two people in this outdoor adventure were a failure.
So now, being protected by their families and moving forward, they have nothing to say.
The only thing that puzzled Zuo Lu was that the team did not return directly to Tianyuan Town, but continued forward, not knowing where they were going.
The two maids next to me, after what happened just now, were so frightened that they obeyed and acted silently. Apart from doing what the maids should do, they did not dare to say a word. He said, not even daring to breathe.
On the way, the team naturally encountered monsters.
But in front of such a strong team, it is no big deal, and it will be solved by eliminating three or five.
Hei Ao and Zuo Lu Anyi in the center of the team seemed to be on a trip. They had no chance to do anything except stare wide-eyed.
The treatment is comparable to that of personal maids. They can only do some chores, but they don't get to do anything serious.
Just when Zuo Lu thought the whole journey would be like this, the elder of the black family in front suddenly gave a sharp shout.
“Stop everything!”
This was the first time Zuo Lu heard the black elder speak in this tone.
Did you encounter some big monster?
Zuo Lu's nerves became tense, but in his nervousness, for some reason, there was a hint of excitement.
"Where is it? What kind of monster is it?" Zuo Caier asked nervously.
Because even she didn't notice anything unusual.
I am afraid that only the most powerful gang elder in the scene discovered the clue.
But the next second, what the elder Hei Jia said made Zuo Caier's eyes widen and her breathing stopped.
Because what the solemn-looking elder of the Black family said was...
"...It's not a demon, it's a [spirit]."
...
