Chapter 101 Mission Journey

But she didn't care about all this at the moment. Instead, she sat cross-legged casually, hugged her knees tightly with her hands, stared at the dancing flames in a trance, without saying a word, as if she was immersed in her own world.

This made it impossible for Hong to find a suitable opportunity to talk to her, not to mention that after getting off the bus, Weixi remained in this state.

Kai, by contrast, seemed particularly alert.

Although he had been safe all the way, he did not let down his guard. He kept scanning the surroundings, as if he was always on alert. Perhaps it was his stubborn character that kept him on high alert at all times.

It has to be said that between Hong and Kai, even though Hong has better talent, if it comes to who can go further, both Yue Le and Xuan Mao will look at Kai.

Although he is youthful all day long, it has to be said that Kai does have the attitude of a strong man. He is persistent, down-to-earth, and never gives up.

After a while, Yuele came back with a nest of rabbits and two fish. This was their dinner...

If only Yue Le and a few others were here, they could just make do with it, but after all, there are two important customers here, so they still have to make better arrangements.

With a sigh, Yue Le handed the task of skinning and bleeding to Kai and Hong.

......

Kai expertly skinned and gutted the rabbit, then skewered it on sharpened branches and slowly roasted it over the campfire.

He stared at the rabbit meat intently, turning it over from time to time to ensure that each side was cooked evenly.

At the same time, the black cat nimbly climbed up a big tree and stood on a high place, vigilantly observing the movements around it.

On the other side, Yue Le was not idle either. In addition to taking turns to keep watch, it was also a good idea to set up some simple warning traps.

After all, the resting place they chose was quite hidden, and if they could set up a few small traps, they could better protect themselves and their companions.

At this time, Yue Le was cleverly utilizing the natural resources around him and carefully setting up various traps outside the place where everyone was resting.

His movements were skillful and deft, like that of an experienced hunter. When he finished setting all the traps and returned to the camp, Kai just took the fragrant roasted rabbit meat off the fire.

Hong, who was standing by, was a little overwhelmed as she watched all this. She had never experienced such a life, let alone doing these things herself.

The golden and crispy rabbit meat exuded an enticing aroma, which made her swallow her saliva involuntarily. Hong, who had been spoiled since childhood, had never experienced such a hard life in the wild!

Kai was concentrating on turning the rabbit meat, his eyes flashing with desire for food. The high-intensity training over the past month had given him an almost instinctive desire for meat. He took a deep breath, intoxicated by the aroma of meat that permeated the air.

Soon, soon...

.......

After the meal, the flame of the campfire became relatively weak. It was still early, and there was no plan to add more firewood.

Yue Le said to Wei Xu, "Go and have a rest. We will continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

Ge Weixu had no expression on his face. He just nodded silently at Yue Le, then turned and walked towards the carriage.

At the same time, Saku Daichi also felt tired. He had been traveling for a whole day and needed to rest. He twisted his body, leaned lazily on the threshold in front of the carriage, curled up and closed his eyes.

Seeing that the two of them chose to rest obediently, Yue Le felt a little relieved.

After informing his teammates of his plans for the evening, he sat down under a big tree, adjusted his posture, and prepared to take a short nap.

After all, the night was still long, and he needed to maintain sufficient energy to deal with any possible situation. And the watch time he was responsible for was in the second half of the night, which would be a time to test his endurance and vigilance.

As the dawn gradually broke, a thin layer of mist quietly rose in the woods, as if covering the whole world with a mysterious veil. Every corner was permeated with damp water vapor, making people feel a little cool. This night was unusually quiet, without a single ripple.

According to the information that Saku Daichi told them, since the enemy wants to completely wipe out Mio, they should take action.

But the strange thing is that so far, there has been no unusual movement.

Yue Le didn't dwell on this issue too much. He believed in his own judgment and intuition. At this time, he had already raised his guard. The danger had not yet arrived...

He gently woke everyone up from their deep sleep, and they all woke up and rubbed their sleepy eyes. After a simple wash, they hurriedly ate some food and continued on their way forward.

At their current rate of progress, they hope to reach a town before sunset, which is why Yue Le asked Weixu to rest early.

The car drove in silence all the way. The wheels left two long marks on the road and made a gurgling sound.

The route that Yue Le carefully selected was a wide road, flat and unobstructed, and extremely bright, as if it was an open door to welcome the enemies hiding in the dark.

Since we can't predict it, we might as well just open our eyes and wait for them to come. As expected, some people couldn't suppress their inner turmoil.

While they were on the way, suddenly, several huge blazing fireballs flew out rapidly from the woods on both sides, streaking across the sky like meteors, and swooped straight towards the carriage in the middle that was closely protected by many guards.

Saku Daichi didn't even have the slightest time to react before the frightened horse raised its front hooves and tried to break free from the reins.

However, as a man with many years of experience as a steward, Saku Daichi relied on his rich experience and skillful techniques. At this critical moment, he quickly and without hesitation tightened the reins, and used all his skills to finally succeed in stabilizing the frightened horse.

At this moment, there was a sudden and violent vibration in the carriage, and Wei Xu, who was completely unprepared, was caught off guard and slammed into the hard wooden wall of the carriage.

Fortunately, Hongyan, who was sitting next to her, was quick to stretch out her arm and hold Weixu's body firmly, thus preventing her from getting hurt.

"Miss! Are you okay?" Saku Daichi's face was anxious and full of fear.

"fine!"

Shang Ge Weixu's voice did not change at all, and he ordered the guards outside the carriage to defend in an orderly manner.

But all this is just the beginning.

The fireball swept towards them from all directions like lightning in a violent storm. Immediately afterwards, countless hidden weapons, densely packed like raindrops, also shot towards them.

"We must protect the carriage! We must not let anyone get close!" Saku Daichi shouted at the top of his voice, got off the carriage, drew the weapon beside him, and fought side by side with the other guards to build an indestructible line of defense.
