In the middle of the night.
The bonfire looked after Gu Xiaotian and the three of them. Gu Xiaotian stared at the surroundings vigilantly, and Lao Gao listened with his ears perked up.
Zhuang Ya's eyes were also staring around, as if she was on guard against something.
Duan Peng was the only one, acting as if nothing had happened.
By the light of the campfire, I read his book with interest.
"Deng Deng Deng."
There were some sounds not far away, the sounds of people running.
Gu Xiaotian stood up first, "Here comes someone."
Zhuang Ya naturally heard the noise, stood up vigilantly, and took out a few leaves from somewhere for self-defense.
The sound of running footsteps was getting closer and closer. Gu Xiaotian and Zhuang Ya both held their breaths and silently put their hands in preparation for a fight.
Duan Peng was standing at first, but somehow he sat down again and continued to take out his book and read.
Zhuang Ya turned around and asked, "Senior Brother Duan, is he just planning to sit back and wait for death?"
Duan Peng had no unnecessary expression and said in a calm tone: "Sit down, the person who comes is not hostile."
Sure enough, as the sound of running approached, it became softer and softer. In the end, someone could just barely be heard walking around.
It wasn't until the pedestrian was approaching that everyone could clearly see the person coming.
There was a long scar on the visitor's face, but what caught people's attention was the sword box on his back.
On the surface, the sword box is ordinary, but who would know that this sword box is the famous "One of the People's Escape" in the world.
The person coming is none other than Huang Shengjie!
Gu Xiaotian was also happy to see it was Huang Shengjie, "Shengjie, I didn't expect it to be you."
Huang Shengjie had already seen Gu Xiaotian clearly from a distance. After all, the fire was quite dazzling, and it illuminated Gu Xiaotian and the others so they could see clearly.
Huang Shengjie chuckled, "I've seen clearly that it's you a long time ago. I was also wondering who was so fearless about lighting a fire at night. Are you really not afraid that the enemy will come? I feel relieved when I see clearly that it's you, but when I think about it carefully, Indeed, only you dare to do this."
Zhuang Ya stood behind Gu Xiaotian and stuck her head out, "Shengjie, long time no see."
Huang Shengjie didn't notice Zhuang Ya before. After all, Zhuang Ya was not very tall, and when she first arrived, she was behind Gu Xiaotian and was blocked by Gu Xiaotian. On the other hand, Duan Peng, who was sitting on the ground reading, and Gu Xiaotian, who was standing, were clearly visible to him.
Huang Shengjie thought it was just the two of them, and even if he broke his head, he didn't know there was Zhuang Ya hiding here.
However, Huang Shengjie didn't have a good look on Zhuang Ya, "Hey, long time no see."
Gu Xiaotian became even more confused. It would be fine if Duan Peng was more wary of Zhuang Ya. After all, Duan Peng has always been suspicious, so why did Huang Shengjie, who was usually easy to get along with, treat Zhuang Ya like this?
Could it be that Zhuang Ya really has some hidden secret?
Zhuang Ya didn't care and didn't say anything.
Huang Shengjie called Duan Peng twice, but Duan Peng turned a deaf ear and just nodded. He didn't know whether he was reading the book or actually responding to Huang Shengjie.
Huang Shengjie scolded the nerd twice, and hurriedly pulled Gu Xiaotian aside and whispered: "Why is Zhuang Ya here?"
Gu Xiaotian told Huang Shengjie truthfully how he thought after landing, how he met Zhuang Ya and how he cut down the tree afterwards, and how he fought against the big and small kings.
Huang Shengjie was amazed after hearing this, but he still deliberately reminded Gu Xiaotian, "Then don't you think Zhuang Ya's appearance is too coincidental?"
Gu Xiaotian naturally doesn't think there is any coincidence. Life is inherently composed of countless coincidences. He lives a more Buddhist life.
Gu Xiaotian asked back: "Why are you the only one and Li Mu can be seen when you come?"
Huang Shengjie shook his head and said he had not seen it.
Gu Xiaotian was a little disappointed. He couldn't find the one he wanted most, Li Mu, but instead found the other two.
But Huang Shengjie did not bring any information. Huang Shengjie took out another Azure Dragon Token and said that he had killed one person after landing. After that, he was busy trying to find Gu Xiaotian and others to meet up. When walking through the woods, he found Bai Jing, but he was far away from him and the two did not meet each other.
But Huang Shengjie kept an eye out and secretly hid behind the tree to observe Bai Jing.
But from a distance, one could clearly see that there were five people surrounding Bai Jing, and they were discussing something.
But I don’t know what Bai Jing said, but I heard one sentence clearly.
Gu Xiaotian asked hurriedly: "What are you talking about?"
Huang Shengjie looked serious, "Bai Jing said, 'Find Li Mu first.'"
This intention is obvious. Bai Jing wants to use Li Mu to blackmail Gu Xiaotian, and may also directly deal with Li Mu, but this is definitely not Bai Jing's character.
Otherwise, given Li Mu's cultivation, there is no need for Bai Jing to take him seriously. This insidious and cunning person cannot think with common sense.
Without further ado, Bai Jing has taken the lead in targeting Li Mu, and he can only find Li Mu first.
Gu Xiaotian walked to Duan Peng and had a brief talk with Duan Peng. Duan Peng, as everyone's strategist, was also weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and with the day's running and hunger, even an iron man should feel tired.
No one wants to run around at night. The danger level at night is already high. It is better to find a safe place to have a good sleep and recuperate.
But I just don’t know what Bai Jing’s plan will be, and Gu Xiaotian and the others have already made a bonfire, so Bai Jing can naturally see it.
Based on Bai Jing's head, he will definitely be able to make an accurate guess, and he will speed up the pace of finding Li Mu.
After careful consideration, Duan Peng finally made a decision. He first put out the bonfire, but just rested in place.
After observing the celestial phenomena, it turns out that it will dawn a little earlier in summer nights. From the current point of view, it will still be dark after two hours of rest.
Just take advantage of the darkness to look for Li Mu, and leave the rest to fate.
Gu Xiaotian was also a little tired. Hearing that he should rest first, he was not so anxious anymore.
After all, being anxious can't solve any problem. I hope Li Muji has his own destiny and can hide it well so that Bai Jing won't find it first.
Gu Xiaotian slept on the ground, using the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed. He held Wu Feng in his arms and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Huang Shengjie and Duan Peng were lying next to them. Huang Shengjie still felt uncomfortable in his head and wanted to borrow two of Duan Peng's books to cushion his head, but was immediately choked back by Duan Peng.
The book was Duan Peng's second life. Duan Peng didn't even take the book to cushion his head, so how could he lend it to Huang Shengjie.
Zhuang Ya shouted from the side: "It's okay for you guys to sleep on the floor. I'm a weak woman and you're not afraid that I'll catch cold at night?"
Huang Shengjie felt that Zhuang Ya was too pretentious, "If you want to sleep, you can sleep. If you don't want to, just keep it safe for us. I'll find some wood to make a bed for you tomorrow."
Zhuang Ya had no choice but to agree to lookout for everyone. After all, she would not be able to sleep well sleeping like this.
Everyone soon fell asleep, and a faint silly voice sounded.
No one knew that after everyone fell asleep, Zhuang Ya went straight to another forest.
...
In the woods, another person couldn't see his face clearly. He saw Zhuang Ya walking in and said, "Sister Zhuang Ya."
After calling softly, Zhuang Ya walked straight over, but was soon held up by a sword on his neck.
Zhuang Ya said with a bit of warmth and anger: "Put down the sword, there is no tail."
The man put down his sword, observed it for a moment, then nodded and took off his mask.
The man spoke first and said, "Sister Zhuang Ya, how did you finish what Bai Jing told you?"
Zhuang Ya shook her head, "It's more difficult. Duan Peng is very guarded against me, and now there is another Huang Shengjie."
The man's brows furrowed into a frown, and he asked again: "Then the two baits, Big Wang and Xiao Wang, were released, and you didn't even help them?"
Zhuang Ya smiled bitterly, "Where do you need help? The king is such a loser that Duan Peng was knocked unconscious in an instant. Xiao Wang couldn't hurt Gu Xiaotian at all, so how could it be my turn to take action?"
Zhuang Ya continued: "Dong Yin, it seems that the bait is still not big enough. You ask Bai Jing to send out a few more baits, and be sure to find Li Mu as soon as possible. They will get up soon."
The person who was talking to Zhuang Ya was none other than Dong Yin, the former head of the Sanwu House who was known as the demon in the outer courtyard.
Dong Yin nodded, "You don't need to worry about these. I don't know where Li Mu is hiding. My team searched all night and couldn't find any clues. Go back and keep an eye on them. Don't forget what Bai Jing told you."
Zhuang Ya waved her hand, turned around and left, "No need to remind me repeatedly, I know what I am doing. Just let Bai Jing do his own thing clearly."
After saying that, Zhuang Ya walked out of the woods, as if nothing had happened.
Dong Yin in the woods also quickly ran back.
Bai Jing leaned under the tree and saw Dong Yin coming back and asked, "How is the situation over at Zhuang Ya?"
Dong Yin shook his head and said nothing.
Bai Jing laughed, "I did underestimate Gu Xiaotian a little. This kid has grown up very fast."
Dong Yin asked with confusion: "Bai Jing, do we really have to rely on Zhuang Ya? I always feel that this girl is not of the same mind as us."
Bai Jing didn't care very much, but there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, "We are not a family, so why should we be of the same mind? They just have the same goal."
Dong Yin nodded and told Bai Jing about Zhuang Ya's needs.
Bai Jing nodded, but did not give any answer.
Seeing that Bai Jing didn't answer, Dong Yin asked: "Then do we still need to send a few big baits out to let Zhuang Ya gain their trust?"
Bai Jing looked at Dong Yin and then burst into laughter.
Dong Yin didn't understand what Bai Jing was laughing about, but now that he was following Bai Jing's orders, he had no choice but to laugh along with him.
Bai Jing stood up slowly, but his laughter did not stop. Instead, he came over and patted Dong Yin on the head.
But soon, Bai Jing's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said in a sinister tone: "What other big bait do we need to send? Do you really think that Duan Peng is a vegetarian, can you not see that the big king and the little king are the baits we sent out? Zhuang Ya, a woman, always thinks that she is strategizing, but she doesn't know that Xiao Jiujiu has already made it clear to others that she has something in her heart. She is not seen wearing a red gauze in the outer courtyard on weekdays. On the contrary, she is wearing a red gauze when entering the peak battle this time. A smart person can understand what's going on in her heart. This stupid woman was still used by us, and in the end we kicked her into the abyss. I'm still really curious about her expression."
Dong Yin understood immediately and smiled knowingly.
Sure enough, the heart that plays with the brain is very dirty.
Bai Jing continued: "But since she has made demands, it is still necessary to satisfy her. Dong Yin, you know what to do."
Dong Yin nodded to show that he knew, but he just sent two miscellaneous fish out.
Bai Jing asked: "How is Li Mu doing?"
Dong Yin shook his head and said that he had not found it.
Bai Jing was not in a hurry, "If you can't find him, then you won't be looking for him anymore. We were just going to put out a smoke bomb and catch them all."
It turned out that Bai Jing discovered Huang Shengjie very early and deliberately said that sentence loudly.
He believed that with Huang Shengjie's character, he would definitely tell Gu Xiaotian, and Gu Xiaotian would definitely take action.
Everything is still under his control.
Under the moonlight, the expression on Bai Jing's face became ferocious, "Gu Xiaotian, who will help you this time?"
Hate the little non-gentleman, the non-toxic and unhusband.
