Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

"Leave here first." Tan Yuchen said as he watched Ah Ning stand up slowly, interrupting the fat man's mumbling and putting the black knife into its sheath,

"Although there is not much blood on the pheasant's neck and the blood left by Ah Ning's injury, forest animals have a keen sense of smell to prevent regeneration accidents, so we cannot wait too long."

"Yes, let's keep going." Panzi took A Ning's backpack and said, "Just in time to find a place to rest tonight."

"Let's go, I don't know if this pheasant neck will be found." The fat man was so angry that he kicked the body of the pheasant neck into the river, looked back at A Ning's pale face, and asked,

"A Ning, can you do it? If not, Fatty, I will reluctantly carry you for a while?"

"Okay, let's go." A Ning declined Fatty's kindness, put on her coat and nodded to the others.

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling looked at each other and walked at the front to clear the way.

Fatty: "Okay."

"Tsk, he is a cruel person." Panzi tutted lightly after hearing A Ning's words and followed the three people in front of him.

Wuxie was a few steps behind them, looking at A Ning's straight back, thinking that if A Ning hadn't blocked the pheasant's neck attack with her arm in time, would the pheasant's neck have directly bitten her neck?

So what will happen?

Wu Xie felt a sudden fear in his heart, and the assumptions in his mind told him that the woman in front of him was so close to death just now.

So close that if she didn't react, she would lose her life because of a snake.

He didn't have a good impression of A Ning, and sometimes even felt disgusted when A Ning was forced to do so. But even so, he didn't want this strong and cunning woman to die suddenly on the way.

Even in my imagination, I have never imagined it this way.

But the attack from the pheasant's neck made him clearly understand again that accidents would happen to even the most powerful people at any time due to the environment they were in and the things they were doing.

Wu Xie pinched the bridge of his nose to disperse the images in his mind, and shifted his gaze to the two people who were walking at the front to be wary of the surroundings, and Panzi, who fell a few steps behind and came to his side after noticing that he hadn't followed. fist.

He thought about all his experiences from King Lu's Palace to here. These people would always protect him, who was the weakest, in dangerous moments.

Obviously sometimes it is very difficult for them alone...

"Come on, innocent, we're in the swamp."

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling stopped and jumped onto a big rock in two or three steps.

The place where they were standing was now full of mud, and the water was getting deeper and deeper, but fortunately they were in the shallow part of the swamp, and there were still some rocks around for them to stay on.

The fat man looked deeper into the forest and shouted to Wu Xie behind him.

"Okay." Wuxie retracted his thoughts, jogged a few steps to Fatty's side, looked at the surroundings and asked, "Are the ruins of the ancient city of the Queen Mother of the West buried under this swamp?"

"It seems right. Look at the patterns on these statues and stones. They should be the Palace of the West Queen Mother we are looking for." The fat man pointed at the remains of the statues in the swamp and replied.

"Great, all the energy spent along the way has finally been wasted." A Ning knelt down and looked at the stones under her feet, feeling happy.

"There should be a very prosperous ancient city in this valley, but after the collapse of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom, the ancient city was abandoned, the drainage system collapsed, the underground river backflowed, and rain and silt added to the ancient city, which buried the ancient city underwater. "Zhang Qiling explained,

"And what we see now is probably just the tip of the iceberg of this ancient city."

"If that's the case, how should we enter the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West?" Wuxie asked.

"There will always be a way." Qin Yuchen found some dead branches on the way when they were discussing. He said as he passed by Wuxie, "Don't forget, it was the same when Cheng Wenjin and the others came."

"They can all get in, but you can't?"

"That's right." Wuxie thought of what Chen Wenjin mentioned in his notes, and no longer had any doubts. He walked over and took the dead branches to help Tan Yuchen make a fire.

"By the way, Yuchen, can I go find you after this operation is over?" Wuxie asked.

"Huh?" Tan Yuchen raised his eyes and glanced at Wuxie.

"Hey, I want to ask you for a favor." Wuxie scratched his head in embarrassment and noticed that Tan Yuchen frowned and said quickly,

"Don't worry, it's not something difficult, it's just..."

"that is……"

Wuxie hesitated for a while.

"..." Tan Yuchen was speechless looking at Wu Xie's awkward look. He lit the dead branches and didn't want to talk to him, "If you can't say anything, just hold it in."

"Uh..." Wuxie watched Zhang Qiling sit next to Tan Yuchen and said through gritted teeth, "I just want you to teach me a few life-saving moves."

"...?" Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion when they looked at Wu Xie.

Wuxie blushed at the sight of them, but still replied seriously: "I'm serious!"

"Okay." Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows and agreed readily. He leaned against Zhang Qiling and smiled innocently.

"You don't need to come. When I get back, I will take someone to find you at Wushanju."

"Who?" Wuxie asked.

"You will know when the time comes." Qin Yuchen opened the can a little and put it next to the fire to heat the food. He did not directly answer the innocent question, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you."

Wu Xie: "..."

To be honest, I'm not very reassured...

Wu Xie looked at Tan Yuchen's gentle smile and suddenly felt that his decision was not quite right.

"How about little brother..."

"I'll take him with me too."

Wuxie turned her attention to Zhang Qiling and tried to replace Tan Yuchen with Zhang Qiling, but was interrupted by Tan Yuchen mid-sentence.

He smiled innocently and rolled his eyes at the fat man's tone of wanting to join in the fun.

"How can such a thing happen without me, Fatty? Maybe I can also teach Xiaozhen a few tricks, right?"

The fat man touched Wu Xie's arm with his elbow and said, "Don't worry, Tian Zhen. Although Fat Master, I am not as powerful as Master Qin and others, I can still teach you some basic skills."
