"I think those two people just now are from the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."

Xiao Wei suddenly blurted out something.

"So, what do you want to say?"

Xiao Yan was a little unhappy. Could it be that you suspect my brother of coveting your sunflower essence? Humph, last night you were calling me brother so affectionately, as if you were their real brother and I was an outsider.

"I don't mean anything else. I mean, these two people just gave me a sneaky feeling, as if they were following us from behind." Xiao Wei said cautiously.

"Maybe they went to open the ice box. Didn't you forget that I told you yesterday that the ice box was empty?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot... Oh no, if that's the case, why don't you come with us?"

Xiao Yan remained silent. Indeed, something was not quite right. His two brothers were doing well here, but they had never returned home once in all these years. However, he still didn't want to think of the worst of things, after all, they were his own brothers.

Before they knew it, it was already night. The two took out the tent and decided to have a sleep first. They would head straight to the top of the mountain tomorrow and decide the winner by rock-paper-scissors. Xiao Wei would guard the first half of the night.

Xiao Wei sat bored in front of the campfire, looking at the starry sky, remembering that not long ago he was still a nine-to-five office worker, leading a systemized life and longing for freedom.

Now that I am free, I live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

"I actually miss my previous life. At least I could live in peace." Xiao Wei sighed.

Looking up at the starry sky, listening to the occasional roars of beasts coming from afar, oh yes, and Xiao Yan's snoring, Xiao Wei's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and slowly, Xiao Wei fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of cold wind blew and Xiao Wei shivered and woke up.

I don't know when the bonfire went out.

"I actually fell asleep. Fortunately, there was no monster attack, otherwise it would have been terrible. I am such a failure." Xiao Wei felt a little relieved.

Xiao Wei quickly grabbed a handful of dry firewood, intending to rekindle the bonfire. But when he took a closer look, a chill ran down his heart.

Where is the burnt-out bonfire? Xiao Wei turned his head in horror and looked towards the tent. Sure enough, the tent was gone. This was not the place where they had camped just now.

"Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan! Where are you?" Xiao Wei shouted around.

The surroundings were still extremely quiet.

Xiao Wei was panicked. What was going on? Why did the person disappear after a nap?

"Alas... When will you discover my existence?"

An ethereal female voice sounded.

"Who, who is talking, sneaking around and acting like a ghost, get out!" Xiao Wei shouted.

"What are you yelling about? I'm right here, look up."

Xiao Wei looked up and saw a girl in white sitting on the tree, looking at him playfully.

"Kill...murderer, you are the village massacrer, what are you doing here?" Xiao Wei looked at the girl in shock.

"Shouldn't you first ask why you are here? And why your friend disappeared."

The girl jumped down from the tree and walked towards Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei was shocked and took three steps back: "Don't come over here, who are you and what is going on?"

Seeing how scared Xiao Wei was, the girl couldn't help but look at him with a bit of contempt, and said, "You are as cowardly as a mouse. Since you are so scared of me, I will just leave. As for why you are here, I don't care why you are here."

The girl turned and left. Xiao Yan felt slighted. He recalled that he had fallen asleep while on guard duty. He realized that it was all his fault. His laziness had caused Xiao Yan's current whereabouts to be unknown. He could not help but get angry and say:

"Stop! You are not allowed to leave until I explain clearly." Xiao Wei shouted, and a long sword appeared in his hand in an instant.

The advanced Xuan-level fighting skills were displayed. The long sword was covered with a layer of blue water curtain. The water on the surface of the long sword flowed at a high speed, and it chopped towards the girl in white like a chainsaw.

The girl snorted coldly, turned around and blocked the attack easily with one hand holding the gun: "Do you have the energy to fight now? When your friend was trying to protect you just now, you were sleeping soundly and couldn't be woken up even if you called him."

The girl's face was full of disdain. She failed to keep watch properly, causing her friend to be in danger. This behavior is truly despicable.

"Besides, do you think you have the ability to resist if I have bad intentions towards you?"

"But, I saw you following us during the day today."

Xiao Wei had to admit that if the girl in white had any ill intentions towards them, they might not be their match.

"Is it okay for me to be bored?"

"Can you tell me what is going on?" Xiao Wei said helplessly.

"I can only tell you that your friend threw you in front of me and asked me to take care of you. However, the aura he gave me was different from that during the day. It felt very strong, and he could sense my presence from a distance, so he threw you over to me."

The girl paused and smiled when she said this: "Compared to him, you are much weaker."

"And then?" Xiao Wei asked anxiously, completely ignoring the girl's sarcasm towards him.

"Then I took you and fled in the opposite direction. The people who surrounded you were very powerful. I might not be able to defeat them."

"Is this gone?"

"Otherwise, what else? If you hadn't fallen asleep, none of this would have happened. I was so far away, but I was awakened by the intruder, and you were so close and knocked unconscious. Just tell me how embarrassing it is for you."

"Are you really following us?" Xiao Wei ignored her ridicule again.

"I told you, I was bored, and I thought you two were interesting, so I followed you on this adventure."

"Then you killed people, even an entire village, is that boring too?"

The girl's face suddenly darkened when she heard this: "Why do you care so much? It's enough that I didn't kill you. The people in that village deserve to die."

Xiao Wei stopped talking. Things had gone beyond his expectations and they had to return to the base. If Xiao Yan was safe, that would be great. If he couldn't escape the pursuit, he would have to go find his brothers for help.

Xiao Wei turned around and walked down the mountain.

"Hey, your friend said four words before he left."

"What four words?"

The girl came over mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Don't go down the mountain!"

The sky gradually brightened, and the morning in the forest was indeed refreshing. However, Xiao Wei not only did not feel refreshed, but felt that his blood circulation was seriously blocked, because they returned to the camping place last night, where there were drops of blood and traces of swords and sabers, all of which revealed the cruelty of a great battle.

"What are you going to do now?" Lei Leilei asked.

The two of them sat down calmly and introduced themselves. The girl's name was Lei Leilei. She was dissatisfied with the family marriage and ran away. The village they slaughtered today was not populated by ordinary villagers, but a stronghold disguised as a human trafficking group. As for the original residents, they might have already met with an accident.

Lei Leilei left home and had spent all her money long ago, so she has been working part-time as a bounty hunter recently. This base was where she pretended to be abducted and sold, but in fact it was the human traffickers who let the wolf into the house.

Facing this question, Xiao Wei didn't know how to answer. After a long silence, he said, "Go up the mountain first and finish the business. It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it."
