Chapter 6: An Unexpected Encounter with Xu Jian

  Unconsciously, the sky had already darkened, and what was originally a quiet forest now seemed eerie. The surrounding trees seemed like demons with sharp teeth and claws, as if they wanted to pounce on people.

  After all, it's a child's nature. Bai Yu swallowed his saliva, shrunk his body, and subconsciously pulled at Ye Feng beside him, his voice trembling slightly, "Ye, big brother Ye, let's... take a break."

  Unexpectedly, Ye Feng was very calm, looked around and raised an eyebrow, "What? Little Bai, are you scared?"

  Bai Yu naturally didn't admit it, gritted his teeth and said, "Who, who says I'm afraid! I'm just worried that you'll get tired, I'm a first-class warrior, if something happens, I still have to protect you!"

  Yefeng shook his head and didn't argue with him. "Let's take a rest then, I'm really tired too."

  Xiao Bai let out a sigh and sat down on the ground with Ye Feng, holding out his small hand to Ye Feng.

  Yè Fēng was taken aback, "What's going on?"

  "White Feather Road," "I'm hungry! Didn't you bring any dry rations?"

  Ye Feng looked puzzled, "Didn't you bring it?"

  Bai Yu patted the package behind him and said, "The village elder said that what you brought is enough, but what I brought is much more useful than food."

  Yefeng looked at the large pile of dry rations, dried meat and water in his bag, handed a share to Baiyu, and took out another for himself. "What did you bring?"

  White Feather bit into her dry rations and meat, heh-heh-ing with a smile, "Secret!"

  At this time, Bai Yu's ears suddenly moved, and he said mysteriously to Ye Feng, "Brother Ye, it seems that we will have an extra meal tonight!"

  Ye Feng hadn't reacted yet, when he saw Bai Yu stuff the dry rations into his bosom, pick up a stone from the ground and shoot it at the grass thicket beside him. Then he got up and walked towards the grass thicket.

  Yefeng didn't understand what was going on and followed them as they walked past, only to see a rabbit lying sideways there, it kicked its hind legs twice and then stopped moving.

  Xiao Bai picked up a handful and said, "Ye Ge go find some dry branches and leaves or something, I'll roast a rabbit for you!"

  Ye Feng: "Xiao Bai, you're so amazing! You can even hit this. What else can you do?" He said, lowering his head to draw on the tree branch and leaving.

  Bai Yu fluttered, "I know a lot of things!" He said, carrying the rabbit to his backpack, took out a pair of flintstones and threw them at Ye Feng, then took out a small knife and a small bottle from the bag. The knife and the rabbit were placed on the ground, and the bottle was opened, revealing some powder inside. Bai Yu sprinkled some of it around the perimeter.

  Yè Fēng looked puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

  "We can't go much further tonight, let's rest here. The village elder gave me this powder, if we sprinkle some around, the magical beasts won't dare to come near."

  It's just some low-grade repellent powder, which is a necessary means for camping outdoors in this world.

  Ye Feng nodded and didn't ask much, gathered enough firewood and squatted down to start a fire with flint.

  After finishing the powder, Xiaobai picked up the rabbit and knife to bleed and skin it. Then, she found Yexing and asked for some water to rinse it briefly. Her movements were extremely skilled, and it was done in no time.

  Yefeng had already lit a fire and was constantly adding branches. "Xiaobai, where are we sleeping tonight?"

  Xiaobai was busy, "I have a tent in my bag." After finishing speaking, he continued working.

  Deeper and deeper, dense forest, starry sky. Two little friends sit silently by the bonfire... roasting rabbit.

  Yè Fēng looked at the golden-yellow crispy rabbit, his mouth watering, "Can we eat now......".

  White feathers spread out, "Hurry up, hurry up".

  Yefeng wiped his mouth and looked at Baiyu, "Xiao Bai, you look so skilled, as if you can do anything".

  Bai Yu smiled and said, "This is all taught by Village Chief Grandpa." After saying this, Xiao Bai paused for a moment and mysteriously told Ye Feng, "Night Brother, we're going to have another meal!"

  He finished speaking and with one hand holding a rabbit and the other picking up stones, he threw them over...

  Xu Jian was really unlucky, he was only ten years old and had already advanced to a second-level warrior, which is absolutely a genius among geniuses (in this world, children generally start practicing elemental energy at the age of **). However, everyone in his family practiced lightning elements, but he was born with a water element constitution, and no one in the family could teach him. Later, the patriarch of the family somehow got a letter, which told him to bring it and several guards to go north to find some Wind God Academy.

  Xu Jian was originally quite happy, but those guards were really annoying. They wouldn't let him do this or that, and no matter how he tried to get rid of them, they just kept repeating the same phrase: "By order of the family head, we must protect the young master's safety until we reach Shenfeng Academy, where we will return to our families!" Xu Jian was so angry he almost died. He had even tried sneaking out with a letter several times, but each time he got caught and brought back.

  They took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention, secretly used the medicine stolen from their father's place to knock them down, and then sneaked out. However, there was anesthetic in all the dishes, so they couldn't eat, and as a result, they walked for a while with an empty stomach and couldn't hold on anymore. They didn't bring any dry food with them either, so they could only sigh helplessly and decide to head back.

  Suddenly, Xu Jian smelled a meaty aroma and followed the scent for a while before discovering smoke rising from up ahead. He quickly ran over and saw two young boys surrounding a fire pit roasting a rabbit.

  "Savior!", Xu Jian swiftly dodged into the nearby bush, just as he was about to peek out, he vaguely heard one of them say something. Before Xu Jian could react, a stone hit him right on the forehead with a loud "slap", "Ah! Who is it?! I'm dying from pain!"

  Ye Feng and Bai Yu were stunned, Ye Feng asked Bai Yu, "Can rabbits talk?" Bai Yu shook his head in confusion, then suddenly came to his senses and rushed towards the other side with Ye Feng. They saw a beautifully dressed boy clutching his forehead and rolling on the ground, "Ow ow ow! Help!"

  Xu Jian is very unlucky...

  He was originally a second-level warrior, and Bai Yu didn't use much strength (knocking out a rabbit doesn't require a first-level warrior to use much strength). But Xu Jian himself is a young master, how much combat experience can you expect him to have? Secondly, Bai Yu's attack was sudden, and Xu Jian was completely unprepared. And also... hunger, as a result, a second-level warrior fell under Xiao Bai's hands.

  Ye Feng and Bai Yu looked at Xu Shaoye rolling on the ground... and were stunned.

  "Are you okay?"

  Xu Shaoye stopped rolling around, "You see I'm busy! Why are you hitting me!"

  Bai Yu also turned back and said, "I thought you were a rabbit..."

  Xu Jianyi was furious! Alright, we were just fighting and now you're scolding me. He immediately stood up, the wound on his head didn't hurt anymore as he pointed at Xiaobai and cursed loudly, "Who are you calling a rabbit? You're the rabbit, your whole family is rabbits!"

  Bai Yu knew he was in the wrong and lowered his head, not saying a word. Ye Feng saw that things were not going well and quickly grabbed hold of Xu Jian, who had gone mad, "Hey, sorry about this, my little Bai doesn't understand things, how about we treat you to some roasted rabbit?"

  Xu Jian suddenly stopped and stared fiercely at the rabbit in Xiao Bai's hand, then took a step forward and grabbed the rabbit, pulling it into his arms.

  Bai Yu was shocked and lost his color, "That's mine!", he hastily rushed back to grab it, but it was too late, he only managed to pull back two of them. He pouted and looked at Ye Feng with a wronged expression.

  Ye Feng touched his nose and looked at Xujian Xu, who had already started eating voraciously. "Haven't asked you what your name is yet?"

  Xu Jian's words were unclear, "Xu Dian (Jian)"...
