C6 Unexpected
While Ye Qing was following the footprints and searching for the slave convoy that originally held him, the convoy that Ye Qing had found was camping where they were and waiting for them to leave tomorrow morning.
"Alas, the rain has finally stopped." The young escort, who was sitting on a log, complained gloomily, "It had been raining all this time, so much so that it was impossible to build a campfire to dry the clothes."
"So you are still young. "Oh, little Liu, if you have walked past a dart heading north, you would know that you have to walk in snow half a leg deep while wearing a full set of scales. That is the true torment." A middle-aged escort said with a smile.
"Yeah." Another slightly older escort chimed in, "But tomorrow, we'll be able to see Min Prefecture City once we cross this mountain. When that time comes, don't be in such a rush to take the dart money and forget about us brothers, haha …"
"Ugh …" We'll talk about it when the time comes. I have to dry my clothes first, or I won't feel comfortable getting wet. " The young escort, who was called Xiao Liu, walked over to the escort, Old Wu, and said, "Leader Wu, I would like to gather some firewood to light the campfire."
"Yes, but be careful. There should be wolves in these mountains." The escort, Old Wu, nodded in agreement and instructed seriously.
"Got it." The escort, Xiao Liu, nodded and ran into the forest by the side of the road.
As for worrying about the wolves, Xiao Liu didn't mind.
After all, he was just picking up firewood and wasn't going far. Even if he met a pack of wolves, a call for help would get them all over the place.
After that, the escort bows were drawn. A mere furry animal was nothing to worry about.
Xiao Liu thought about it and tossed the escort's warning to the back of his mind. He focused on finding firewood that could be used to build a campfire.
"Sigh, after such a long torrential rain, these broken branches have all been soaked. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any firewood to burn …"
The escort, Xiao Liu, looked at the few dry branches in his arms and grumbled.
However, at this time, Ye Qing, who was running in the forest at the speed of a tiger and wolf while displaying the full might of his early Yuan Meridian realm cultivation, coincidentally discovered his lone escort, Little Liu.
"There's someone alone?"
Stopping far away, Ye Qing hid behind a tree. Looking at the escort Xiao Liu, who was picking on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This was because Ye Qing had predicted that he, who had been deliberately placed in a difficult situation by the Heavenly Dao, would not encounter such a simple situation. Logically speaking, he should only have the option of sneakily stealing the blade and then engaging in a battle.
"Looks like I'm overthinking it. The Heavenly Dao is a dead object after all. With it controlling the Myriad Worlds, even if it was against me, it's impossible to give up on the Myriad Worlds' control and stay on guard against me."
Ye Qing shook his head and then completely cast away his emotions.
Following which, Ye Qing borrowed the cover of the night and forest shrubs to quietly approach the unsuspecting escort, Xiao Liu.
With the remaining 20 meters, the night wind seemed to have become colder …
With the remaining fifteen meters, birds could be seen flying in the silent forest. The sound of a bird flapping its wings was especially obvious in this silence …
The remaining ten meters seemed to increase in number as they passed through the shadows of the moonlight. Even some of the dew that stuck to the grass on the tree trunk became a lot brighter, as if they could see something from it …
Remaining...
Crack …
A small tree branch hidden in the grass was suddenly broken by Ye Qing's foot!
Immediately, the heart of Ye Qing, who was hurriedly hiding in the weeds in the hope that he would not be discovered in the night, suddenly tensed up.
