"Let's set off in a quarter of an hour." Seeing that everyone was almost rested, Wei Ran directly gave the departure instructions to everyone after returning from a tour of the surroundings.
Lu Yunyou, who had just received a cold look from Li Ru, had gradually calmed down in Fang Qing's company. After such a long time, Lu Yunyou thought of many reasons. What just happened was not only because the other party looked down on him, but it might also be related to Li Qin's death. , although he didn’t understand why the other party connected Li Qin’s death with him, he didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong.
Now that it was determined that there was something wrong with the other party's character, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think that he would have to be more careful with the other party in the future. However, after figuring out the cause of the matter, he also realized that just because he did not take the initiative to offend others did not mean that others would not offend him. , after all, there are good people and bad people in the world.
Time passed slowly, and a quarter of an hour later, the team set off again. Even though they knew they were about to leave the fierce forest, none of them had the same air as when they just left the military camp.
In addition, because there was no extra water available, everyone could not clean the blood stains on their bodies for the time being. Even after changing their clothes, they still felt uncomfortable. It can be said that everyone present except Princess Lanrou looked very embarrassed.
When they set out again, everyone stopped riding horses and led the horses forward. The walking speed was naturally much slower than riding the horses.
Walking among the crowd, Princess Lanrou looked haggard. The bumpy road encountered the same thrilling situation just now. It was a test for her who had never endured hardship before. Her extremely weak look made her even more lovable. , fortunately everyone here paid enough attention to her.
Seeing people constantly comforting Princess Lanrou and saying something to relieve Princess Lanrou's boredom, Lu Yunyou first felt that those people did a good job, and then felt that those people did something wrong.
If Princess Lanrou's purpose is to come out to experience, then they should let Princess Lanrou face everything alone. Think about it when he and Hongyu were together, Hongyu and Hongling performed better than Princess Lanrou now. Many times better, Lu Yunyou really doesn't think much of Princess Lan Rou's character.
Just like that, an hour later, as the night was about to fall, everyone walked for more than ten miles in the dark forest and finally stopped.
Just like last night, Wei Ran arranged for people to find water, firewood and patrol the surrounding situation. However, tonight more people were sent out and the search area was wider. In short, according to Wei Ran's explanation, everything must be done. Proceed with caution.
In addition to Wei Ran, the people who stayed there were also Lan Jing brother and sister, Lu Yunyou and Fang Qing. Now that the number of people around was greatly reduced, the chances of Lu Yunyou and Princess Lan Rou coming into contact were naturally greatly increased, and they could at least look at each other more.
What surprised Lu Yunyou was that after everyone else left, Wei Ran and Lan Jing went out of their way to express their gratitude to him for what happened before and hoped that he would not care too much about Li Ru's previous excessive behavior.
Lu Yunyou was flattered by the sudden behavior of the two people, whether it was intentional or not. Then when Lu Yunyou and Wei Ran were talking, Fang Qing suddenly mentioned that Lu Yunyou had walked through the fierce forest. As soon as this statement came out, he immediately provoked other people. The three of them became very curious.
The next moment, facing the expectant looks from several people, Lu Yunyou couldn't avoid it, so he had to tell Wei Ran and Wei Ran what he said last night at Fang Qing's suggestion.
Starting from when he was captured to do hard labor and narrowly escaped, he talked about some of his experiences in the fierce forest, until he talked about them accidentally breaking into the Star Army camp and being arrested.
What was different from the chat with Fang Qing and the others last night was that the whole process was that Lu Yunyou mainly talked about the several dangerous situations they encountered in the fierce forest, and also emphasized that they should walk at the junction of the territories of the two fierce beasts, so that they could Avoid danger as much as possible.
When Lu Yunyou told about his experience with the man in the forest, Fang Qing and others were very attentive. They were all very happy that the three of them were able to save the day from danger many times and finally passed through the forest. Because everyone's attention was attracted Lu Yunyou was attracted, and none of them noticed anything strange above them.
In fact, when everyone just stopped, there were some black objects squirming above them. Those black objects were densely packed and evenly distributed like leaves. There was no abnormality visible at all.
Those objects were attracted by the movement below, and they lowered their heads to look down one after another. Their eyes blinked and lit up. They were very special, like twinkling stars in the sky. As expected, those objects were naturally ferocious beasts.
There were such things on more than a dozen towering trees around Lu Yunyou and the others. Those ferocious beasts were not big in size, only two feet long from head to tail, but they were extremely numerous. Countless ferocious beasts stood on the branches like dense leaves. Like, you can't find it at all if you don't look carefully.
"It seems that Brother Lu can join the army of the Star Kingdom because he must be very close to our Star Kingdom." Putting aside the situation above, Lan Jing can naturally tell from what Lu Yunyou said that Lu Yunyou is not from their Star Kingdom. Fortunately, Lu Yunyou is not from Feng Country, but from Chaos Ridge.
This way, Lu Yunyou's origin is no longer important. For Lan Jing, as long as Lu Yunyou is in the same camp as them.
"It is true that the three little brothers came out of the fierce forest with extraordinary luck. Of course, they also have a certain degree of uniqueness. If they can get more experience in the army in the future, it should not be difficult to establish their merits." After Lan Jing expressed his views, Wei Ran also took this opportunity to praise Lu Yunyou.
"Brother Lu, why don't you thank the general and His Highness for their commendation?" The next moment, seeing that Lu Yunyou was indifferent to the compliments of the two men, Fang Qing hurriedly reminded Lu Yunyou.
"Thank you General and Young Master for your kind words." According to Lan Jing's instructions, others only need to call him Young Master. After knowing this, Lu Yunyou naturally wanted to learn how others call Lan Jing.
It's just that he used to be called Young Master by others, but now he is called Young Master by others, which is somewhat unaccustomed. Of course, judging from the identities of the two of them, it actually doesn't matter if he calls the other person Young Master, but he doesn't like that feeling. .
When several people said this, those who were responsible for collecting firewood came back one after another, each holding a bundle of firewood and walking towards them.
According to Wei Ran, lighting a fire deep in the fierce forest may attract fierce beasts, so they collected firewood not to keep warm at night, but to help bake food, and they had to put out the fire after dinner.
Without making everyone wait any longer, all the people who had gone out came back before dark. No abnormality was found around them, and no water was found. The ferocious beasts in the fierce forest cannot live without water, so we can only say that the person responsible for finding water was lucky. Just worse.
When it was time to eat, everyone saved some water and even ate less food than usual. After what happened in the morning, food and water had become a major worry for everyone.
In fact, when they first arrived, everyone planned to hunt ferocious beasts for food in the fierce forest, but now that they encountered ferocious beasts, they failed to get food, and they could only make do with what they had to eat.
Now they are sitting around a fire, eating and chatting. Since they know that there are no high-level ferocious beasts in the fierce forest, everyone is in a relaxed mood and is confident that they can survive the night safely. This is what Wei Ran decided. The reason for leading people to break out of the herd of beasts and staying in the forest overnight.
Now think about it, if they had chosen to break out immediately when they encountered the black-winged snakes today, maybe nothing would have happened to Li Qin, but they hesitated at the critical moment and were too careless after actually fighting the snakes. , ultimately leading to tragedy.
Looking back on the situation at that time, except for Wei Ran and Lu Yunyou, everyone else actually regretted not using their full strength when facing the snakes. Of course, they all had a tacit understanding and did not bring this situation up.
"What's going on?" Time passed very quickly, and before long, it was completely dark in the forest. When everyone extinguished the fire according to Wei Ran's instructions, the surrounding area suddenly became brighter again.
"Lan Rou, didn't the general say no light? Why did you take out the night pearl?" Immediately after discovering the light source, Lan Jing stared at the night pearl in Lan Rou's hand.
"It's too dark, I'm scared," the next moment, when everyone else looked towards her, Lan Rou explained innocently.
"It's better to put it away first!" The light will attract the attention of the ferocious beasts. If it attracts the ferocious beasts, it will be detrimental to us. In desperation, Wei Ran had no choice but to persuade him in a gentle tone.
"No, did you hear anything just now?" Just when Lan Rou was embarrassed by those people and was about to put away the night pearl because of Wei Ran's reminder, she frowned and Fang Qing said directly. He discovered that he heard some unusual sounds just after the fire was extinguished.
"There seems to be some noise." Looking up, Lu Yunyou found a few lights above, like stars.
At first, he thought it was very beautiful, but soon he realized something was wrong. He remembered that when they first arrived, there were dense branches and leaves above them, and he couldn't even see the sky. He shouldn't be able to see so many stars now, and he There was also a feeling that those bright lights seemed to be very close to them.
