A'tuo looked back and smiled at her for the first time, looking very sunny.
Only then did she realize that this kind of smile was more suitable for him.
Atuo turned his head, his gaze reaching zero, "I choose to be the 'prey'."
Zero gritted his teeth, his eyes changing from time to time, including anger, disappointment, and a trace of indescribable loss...
He smiled softly, "Okay, then I will help you."
He turned around and lazily ordered, "Let everyone prepare, tomorrow will be a grand hunting festival... Haha..."
His laughter was so joyful that it fully revealed the loneliness he had deliberately disguised.
Looking at his straight back, Atuo slowly lowered his eyes.
According to the "hunting" principle, the three of them were going to put them into the jungle behind Jade City without food, water, or weapons, and let them run as far as they wanted.
Lin Yue'er was physically inconvenient and could not escape as fast as A Tuo and Xiang Xiang. She had no choice but to not drag them down and suggested splitting up, but they were rejected. A Tuo left Lin Yue'er without saying a word.
Carrying it on his back, he ran in along a narrow path, Xiangxiang followed closely, listening to the movements behind him from time to time.
They should try to escape as far away as possible before Zero and others catch up.
After running for a full two hours, non-stop, Atuo was already breathing heavily. Although Lin Yuer was very light, he would become heavier as he ran with a heavy load. Xiangxiang's leg was already injured and had always been
I gritted my teeth and stood firm, but I really couldn't hold on anymore, so I panted and said, "Let's rest for a while, I... can't run anymore."
Zero stopped, looked around, saw a cave at the top of the mountain, and immediately said, "Go over there!"
He carried Lin Yuer on his back and went up first, while Xiangxiang followed with difficulty.
Without waiting for a rest, he began to inspect the cave.
The cave was very dry, and there was a faint cool breeze blowing through it. Atuo touched the wall and looked inside. It was pitch black inside, and he didn't know how deep it was.
"This should lead to the other side." He pointed into the cave and said.
Lin Yuer took a look and saw that it was pitch black and couldn't see anything, "Do you want to go in?"
Xiangxiang quickly waved her hands, "I don't think so. You don't understand this Five Elements Mountain. There are five peaks here, and there are many twists and turns. Who knows where this cave leads to? It's very likely that we won't be able to get out after we go in.
, by then, there won’t even be anywhere to find food!”
Her words made some sense, and Atuo also fell silent.
Although the situation is urgent, it is not necessary to burn the boat until it is absolutely necessary. After all, Lin Yuer is still pregnant, and her physique is different from theirs, so she cannot withstand the hardship.
"You guys stay here, I'll go find something to eat first." A'tuo walked out.
Watching him leave, Lin Yuer's face looked a little apologetic, and then looked at Xiangxiang. She was resting against the wall, trying to recover her strength in the shortest possible time.
She said softly, "Xiangxiang, this time, I am the one who has caused trouble for you again."
Xiangxiang opened her eyes and stared at her. For such a troublesome woman as Lin Yuer, she would actually enter this damn jungle again, and still be afraid of being hunted by those bastards! This kind of fear,
It's really not something that ordinary people can bear, but she actually doesn't resent her at all!
At this point, even Xiangxiang herself felt depressed.
She looked at Lin Yuer and said with some annoyance, "Forget it, anyway, I won't live long if I stay there."
"Why?"
Xiangxiang slowly lowered her head, "Kevin also said that we have actually been feeding those happy grasses, and our bodies are inseparable from this poisonous grass. At the same time, we will also receive various trainings.
Every time when you are tired and about to collapse, as long as you take it, you will be a hundred times more energetic and excited. At this time, Master Ling will praise us without hesitation, just like an obedient dog, for doing something right.
If we receive any instruction, we will praise it desperately. Over time, conditioned reflexes will form, and our emotions will gradually disappear and be replaced by everything about Master Ling. Therefore, we no longer have the previous resistance to Xiaoyaocao.
Instead, I gladly accepted it.”
Lin Yue'er listened silently, looked at her distressedly, and frowned, "What would happen if there was no Xiaoyaocao?"
Xiangxiang turned her attention to the outside of the cave again, "It is our nourishment and what we need to survive. Without it, we will wither soon. But what's the point of living like that?"
When she said this, Xiangxiang was stunned.
She has never considered how to live a meaningful life. This is the first time that she can think and judge her own actions.
This feeling is novel, but not bad.
Lin Yuer finally understood Xiangxiang's mood. Instead of accepting her fate like a puppet, it was better to fight for it herself.
Even if it's only once, it's good.
Neither of them talked anymore. They listened carefully to the rustling of the leaves in the wind. It sounded very harmonious. But they didn't know if it would be broken in the next second.
Atuo came back soon and picked some wild fruits, "They are all non-toxic, feel free to eat them."
Xiangxiang took it and was happy, "We've already reached this stage. It's okay to be poisonous."
Lin Yue'er also took a bite. It was a bit sour and astringent, but juicy.
Atuo ate and said in a deep voice, "I checked by the way and they haven't moved yet."
Lin Yue'er was puzzled, "What does that mean? Zero is confident enough to catch us?"
Xiangxiang sneered, "He likes excitement. The more exciting it is, the more he likes it. He must wait for us to run far away and think we can escape from here, and then he will catch us all! He wants to appreciate our despair from the clouds to hell.
Expression, and enjoy the pleasure of him acting as the sanctioner throughout the entire process!"
Lin Yue'er felt chills after hearing this. It was undeniable that Ling was indeed such a person.
The three of them didn't speak. After eating the wild fruits, Xiangxiang asked, "Where are we going now?"
She was asking Atuo. As a hunter over the years, Atuo knew the terrain here and the pace of their hunting, so his decision was correct.
Atuo lowered his eyes, frowned, and suddenly said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going to rest here."
The two were stunned, and Lin Yuer asked hesitantly, "Atuo, are you sure?"
Xiangxiang also shouted, "Are you crazy? If we don't escape, we will definitely be caught!"
A'tuo raised his eyes and said, "You also said that even if we turn over this forest, he will still find us. So, we don't have to waste that energy, just rest here." After saying that, he just leaned forward.
