Liu Qi and the others were very cautious and checked Meng Ji's body using a wrist screen and found that it was poisonous.
Meng Ji's poisonous weeds are not poisonous, but they are very dangerous to humans.
They could only give up the spiritual flesh of the alien beasts and leave with Yang Fan.
Yang Fan didn't struggle. Liu Qi's worries were unnecessary. He would not try to attract strange beasts and then fight to the death with Liu Qi and Zhang Jie.
Because...he doesn't want to die!
How could he die when his mother's revenge has not been avenged!
Yang Fan never expected that he would not die in the hands of a strange beast, but he would most likely die in the hands of the same kind.
Unfortunately, his physical condition was so poor that he had no chance to escape since he was discovered by Liu Qi and Zhang Jie.
If he had a body that was even comparable to that of an ordinary person, plus his vigilance, he would never be caught by these two people so easily.
Meng and Chi fight for food, and humans will do whatever it takes to compete for benefits.
In the past, I just listened to my mother explaining the truth in my ears. Although Yang Fan memorized it, he didn't really understand it.
But now, reality has taught him the most real lesson.
But now there is two pieces of good news.
These two people are also going to Qilin Cave, at least the destination is the same as themselves.
In addition, I am still useful to them, and they will not kill me directly.
At this point, Yang Fan can only go with these two people.
Yang Fan's gray pine gun has been confiscated by Zhang Jie, his hands are tied behind his back, and his mouth is stuffed with rags of clothing. Liu Qi and Zhang Jie sandwiched him on the left and right, which can be said to be the ultimate precaution.
The fact that Liu Qi and the others have survived until now proves that they are still very cautious. They walked carefully through the jungle, and each time they walked, they would carefully observe the surrounding environment.
Their strategy is different from Yang Fan's, which is to judge whether the surrounding area is safe based on tree bark marks, ground soil, and the shape of debris.
Yang Fan actually learned some skills from the two of them.
After walking for a while, the three of them did not encounter any wild animals, and it was already getting late.
When passing a giant collapsed tree, Liu Qi found that the tree trunk and the uneven ground formed a space, which was just right for him to rest.
They found a large number of fallen branches and leaves to block the entrance of the cave, and also found some rotten fruits around the entrance to block their smell.
After everything was prepared, we hid in the cave to rest.
After running around on the verge of life and death for a day, even people with strong physical fitness like Liu Qi and Zhang Jie were already tired and hungry.
They shared two mountain peaches and ate them thoroughly in front of Yang Fan.
"I'll sleep for half the night, and you'll sleep for the rest of the night." Liu Qi said to Zhang Jie, "Watch this kid closely and don't let him get away. He is the key to our second goal!"
Zhang Jie nodded.
Night shrouded this endless jungle.
There were some insects chirping outside, but I guess they were not crickets, crickets, or frogs.
In the world of mountains and seas, who knows what kind of creatures you will encounter.
But I couldn’t go check it out.
Because once you really encounter it, you will probably become a ghost soon.
The cave is quite spacious, and it is not too crowded to accommodate three people. However, after Liu Qi lay down, Zhang Jie and Yang Fan could only squeeze in and sit aside.
Liu Qi fell asleep quickly and even started to snore.
Zhang Jie pushed him and he stopped.
"You're sleeping so soundly, and you're snoring?" Zhang Jie shook his head in amusement.
When he shook his head, he happened to see Yang Fan sitting in front of him.
At this time, Yang Fan's eyes were staring at Zhang Jie.
"You, don't look at me like that..." Zhang Jie looked away and sighed, "The world of mountains and seas is a world where meat is eaten by the strong. In order to survive, there is no surprise in anything you do."
In the dead of night, the sound of Liu Qi's even breathing could be heard next to him.
Liu Qi didn't say what time it was in the middle of the night. Zhang Jie shook his head. He was also very tired and didn't know when he would be able to sleep.
But seeing Liu Qi sleeping so soundly, and thinking that this was a world of mountains and seas, Zhang Jie couldn't help but smile with relief.
No matter how despicable Liu Qi is, at least he trusts and respects himself.
He can sleep soundly next to her, and will fully communicate with him when encountering important decision-making issues. These are enough to show that the relationship between them is very strong.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Yang Fan looking at him, smiling and shaking his head.
Zhang Jie frowned and looked at Yang Fan, "Why are you laughing?"
"Woo..." Yang Fan uttered two sounds and then shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
How could he answer the question when his mouth was blocked?
However, he still maintained that unpleasant smile on his face.
"Are you laughing at me?"
Yang Fan actually nodded directly, as if he was watching a joke.
"You want to trick me into letting go of your mouth!"
Yang Fan looked very calm and shook his head.
"What are you laughing at!"
Zhang Jie felt like there were thousands of ants crawling around in his heart. This feeling was so uncomfortable.
Finally, Zhang Jie couldn't stand being stared at by Yang Fan. He said to Yang Fan, "I will take out the clothes from your mouth now, but you promise not to scream! If you dare to scream, I will kill you immediately."
While saying this, Zhang Jie put the tip of Yang Fan's gray pine gun against Yang Fan's neck.
Yang Fan is extremely scared now. The tip of the gun is still stained with hallucinogenic poison. If he scratches his skin, he will be poisoned directly!
Fortunately, the tip of the spear wasn't that sharp, and Zhang Jie was pretty good at it, so it didn't scratch Yang Fan's skin.
He pulled out the clothes from Yang Fan's mouth.
Yang Fan immediately moved his lower jaw. His mouth had been growing for so long that it was almost dislocated.
Seeing that Yang Fan really didn't make any noise, Zhang Jie felt relieved, moved the ash pine gun slightly away, and immediately asked, "What were you laughing at just now?"
Yang Fan smiled softly and said, "Do you think Liu Qi really regards you as a confidant friend?"
"He's just using you."
"What do you know!" Zhang Jie said angrily, "You think we haven't encountered danger before? Before we met you, we encountered an adult Chenghuang!"
"Third-level alien beast!"
"He took me and jumped into the river, and we survived."
"He believes in me and respects me!"
When Yang Fan heard Zhang Jie tell them their experiences, he just smiled and said, "I really don't want to hurt you. Do you want to hear the truth?"
"The truth? You, tell me."
Yang Fan said seriously, "Your experiences can't explain anything. The only thing that can explain is that you are still useful to him now!"
"A person who has great strength and trusts me so much. If it were me, I wouldn't leave him behind unless I had to."
Zhang Jie immediately retorted, "You're saying the opposite, he trusts me!"
"Humph, Zhang Jie, right? My mother once told me that the most important thing when getting along with others is to see their "lower limit"!"
"What he can do to others, he will do the same to you if necessary."
"Of course, the lower limit I'm talking about is not the lower limit for enemies, but for people like me. Whatever he can do to me, he can do the same to you!"
Zhang Jie was stunned for a moment. He looked at Yang Fan as if he was thinking about Yang Fan's words, but he soon came to his senses and said with a confident smile, "You are sowing discord!"
"Yes, because only in this way can I have a chance to survive. But what I said is also true." Yang Fan said without hesitation.
Zhang Jie shook his head and said, "You have admitted it yourself, so do you think I will still be fooled by you?"
Yang Fan shrugged, shook his head and said helplessly, "It seems that you are quite devoted to this person you have just met for a day. There is no way I will let you let me go."
"However, Zhang Jie, can you give me some food so that I can be full? There is no conflict with being your scapegoat."
Zhang Jie thought about it and realized there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Besides, Zhang Jie still felt a little guilty towards Yang Fan. He took out a mountain peach fruit from his side, peeled off the skin, and put it into Yang Fan's mouth.
"Actually, you still have a conscience... Zhang Jie, wake up. If you follow Liu Qi, you will not end well!" Yang Fan did not laugh again this time and looked at Zhang Jie seriously.
Liu Qi actually said something that showed his true views on Zhang Jie.
He said Zhang Jie was "cute".
Translated, it sounds silly and naive.
But at the same time, it also shows that Zhang Jie is different from Liu Qi, he still has a conscience!
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Jie scolded in a low voice.
Seeing Zhang Jie being so persistent, Yang Fan sighed and shook his head.
Some people really can't wake them up.
"Hey, Zhang Jie, if we can get to Qilin Cave, can you return the gray pine gun to me?"
"Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to live with this thing...Besides, we...we don't want you to leave alive." Zhang Jie didn't dare to look into Yang Fan's eyes.
Yang Fan was not surprised at all and said with a smile, "I know I can't survive, but at least I hope my life is still in my hands. As for you worrying that I will report you if I get out alive..."
"You can rest assured on this. If by any chance, I mean by chance, I survive, in fact, as long as you insist on it without any evidence, no one will believe what I say."
After hearing Yang Fan's words, Zhang Jie hesitated.
Zhang Jie stared at Yang Fan's eyes and suddenly asked, "What's your name? After you die, if...if there is a chance, I will help you visit your family, just to make up for it."
Family? Yang Fan didn’t explain too much.
"Yang Fan." Yang Fan said lightly.
"Yang Fan...Okay, I remember. I can give you the gray pine gun, but I can only give it to you before you enter the Qilin Cave."
Yang Fan nodded happily.
After eating, Zhang Jie blocked Yang Fan's mouth again, and the two of them lived in peace until late at night.
After Liu Qi woke up, he took over Zhang Jie's vigil.
Zhang Jie almost fell asleep.
Liu Qi had a good sleep and felt much more energetic.
He turned his head and glanced at Yang Fan. When he saw Yang Fan looking at him, he sneered, "Not convinced? Haha, boy, you should also know very well that for a trash like you, if you come to take the assessment, you will die."
"Actually, you should thank us."
"Think about it, it would be meaningless if you died in the mouth of a beast, but it's different now. If you can help us accomplish our second goal, then your death will be much more valuable."
"Zhang Jie and I will remember you."
Yang Fan's mouth was blocked and he could only listen to what Liu Qi said.
It just makes me sicker the more I listen to it.
Not long after, Yang Fan finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in a daze.
