Chapter 37 No One Forced Him

  The faint cries around him grew smaller and smaller, while Shen Shou still didn't have much of a reaction. The bright flames danced on his black windproof glasses, and I suddenly thought of something, feeling a chill run down my spine. I looked at Shen Shou and asked: "Did you think of this method a long time ago?"

  Seeing the god's hand not speaking, I suddenly felt a thread of anger and asked: "Since that's the case, why did you still let Bai Lao Er stay behind alone?" If he had ordered someone to do so earlier, perhaps Bai Lao Er wouldn't have stayed behind as cannon fodder...

  "It was his own decision, no one forced him." Shen Shou said calmly, without any ripples of guilt in his tone. Looking at the others again, although a hint of reluctance flashed in their eyes, it quickly disappeared.

  "You're the real madmen!" I couldn't help but curse, are lives so worthless in their eyes? And to think they were our traveling companions!

  "Haha......" Shen Shou laughed a few times and looked at me, asking: "Do you think it was really good to light the fire back then?"

  I was just about to say something, but when I saw the hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, I suddenly couldn't speak. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck, and I stood there in a daze, unable to move. The thick black glasses on his face still flickered with intense flames, but... this is... the forest...

  I let out a wry laugh, knowing why the God of Hands had chosen to ignite the fire here. The trees in this area had become extremely scarce, and even if they burned in a circle, it would be difficult for the fire to spread widely, or even burn themselves out. I recalled the previous commotion, and suddenly felt my cheeks burning with heat. At that moment, the evil bird sat down on the ground, saying mockingly: "I didn't know when you became so close to White Old Two?"

  "Hmph! I glared at him without saying a word and sat down on the ground, preparing to temporarily pretend to be mute. It was really too embarrassing just now! And..."

  "Alright, enough chit-chat." Shen Shou said while loading his gun.

  As I saw them suddenly become serious, I also couldn't help but be on guard. In the quiet forest, apart from the crackling of burning branches and leaves, it seemed like there were many strange sounds mixed in. I listened carefully for a while, and suddenly realized what those sounds were. Before I could even express my surprise, I saw Shen Shou and the others already rushing towards the side where the fire was smaller.

  I was about to curse them for being inhumane, leaving without a word, when I suddenly saw the mud on the ground move slightly, and then many heads emerged, with a flash of cold light. All I saw were those blood-red eyes gleaming with intense hostility! In just one glance, I felt a chill run down my spine, my back turned icy, and I still hadn't forgotten the dead man's expression earlier! I believed that if I wasn't careful and got bitten by them, I would definitely see my own bones! These thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, and I had already rushed out of the fire circle, running for my life with Shen Shou and his group.

  "Not good, there's also in the front!" Someone yelled and everyone ran back. I stopped and looked around, there were enemies both in the front and the back. It was clearly not a wise choice to start a fire here, but we couldn't stay and wait for death either.

  Just as I was thinking, there were a few more screams around me. I couldn't help but sweat profusely, forcing myself to calm down. To be honest, I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart that I could find a way out. Just as an ugly old mouse-like creature was charging towards me, I reflexively kicked it away. Coincidentally, the creature let out a scream and was accurately kicked flying by me!

  Before I could rejoice, relying on my instincts, I ran towards the place with less red light. The further I ran, the stronger the eerie feeling in my heart became. In the end, I couldn't help but stop, and at this time, the footsteps behind me also stopped. Someone patted my shoulder, and then I heard the evil bird's hoarse voice ringing in my ear: "I didn't expect it, you little guy still has some ability, and you actually found a way out!"

  I suppressed the astonishment in my heart, took a photo of his paw, and said with some disdain: "What's this?" Although I said so, in fact, I was still extremely lucky in my heart. Although the surrounding environment felt a bit eerie, it was indeed true that there wasn't a single mouse here!

  From another perspective, it's as if even a mouse wouldn't dare set foot here...

  A gust of cold wind blew by, and I couldn't help but shiver. Then someone exclaimed in surprise: "Godly hands, there's a dead mouse here."

  It's no exaggeration to say that it's a dead mouse, because this rice dumpling mouse has been chopped in half! Bloody, with intestines and guts... disgusting, really pitiful. Even taking a glance at it makes my eyes hurt! Luckily I've seen all sorts of gruesome things these past few days, otherwise with my previous temperament I would have already run to the side and vomited.

  "Good swordsmanship!" Even Kong Qianyan couldn't help but praise him with a sentence.

  "Who do you think it was?" The crowd couldn't help but look at each other in dismay, but actually there was no need to guess. Whether it was the one who was cut by a knife or the one who was cut by a sword, there was only one person that came to mind here.

  Lime...

  "How many people are left?" Shen Shou asked after taking a glance.

  "Eleven people." The evil bird replied.

  When I saw them, there should have been about twenty people, but now only eleven are left... I counted again, and indeed, apart from me, they only had eleven people left. Shen Shou nodded and said to Kong Jueyan: "Go see which direction he went."

  Kong Jiayan nodded and started searching for clues with his flashlight, while the others rested and replenished their food. I guess it was to avoid destroying any evidence. After a while, just as I finished eating my compressed biscuits and was about to fall asleep, Kong Jiayan walked up to Shen Shou and said something, then Shen Shou led his men in one direction. Although my eyelids were heavy, I could only drag my tired body to follow them.

  It was probably about twenty minutes later, when a massive mountain suddenly appeared in front of me, although it was hidden in the darkness, its towering and majestic momentum could not be obscured!

  At the moment I saw the mountain, I let out a heavy sigh in my heart, and it was also considered to be through thick and thin. Have I finally come out of the Soul-Lost Road? Or is this mountain originally included in the Soul-Lost Road? In any case, I feel that I have taken a big step closer to my goal. Of course, I didn't relax because of this, because I felt that what happened next would only be more dangerous than before, and absolutely not simpler.

  They didn't continue advancing, but chose to rest on the spot. Since I wasn't one of them and it didn't make a difference with me keeping watch, I went to sleep early. I knew that although the mountain looked close, it would still take several hours to reach. Now the most important thing was to conserve energy, or else we'd be dead tired as soon as we entered the mountain.
