The dew gradually dispersed, and sunlight slanted into the forest through the gaps in the branches.
Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, birds flew up from time to time, and the occasional birdsong added a trace of vitality to the forest.
Nantian Fan's clothes were soaked. He looked at the Winged Knights' clothes and felt that they were also wet, so he did not say anything.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!" Caw! Caw! Caw!
Jiang Chuan made a sound with his mouth, and the surrounding birds chirped.
Nantian Fan was filled with curiosity. 'Why are you mimicking birds?' Let others think that there are birds here?
Two hours later, Jiang Chuan put his finger in his mouth. "Du ~ ~ ~"
The surroundings returned to silence.
"Open your bag, there's a fishing net inside," Jiang Chuan said to Nantian Fan.
When Nantian Fan came, he was asked to carry a tactical backpack. He did not know what was inside and whether the backpack was too heavy.
"Fishing net?" Nantian Fan found the zipper and learned to pull it open. Sure enough, there was a fishing net.
Jiang Chuan and the others had already taken out the fishing net and were looking for grass and twigs on the ground.
"There's a thread inside. Learn from us." Jiang Chuan began to tie the grass, leaves, and branches onto the fishing net.
With a deft snap of his fingers and a light flick of the knife in his hand, a few blades of grass or leaves were tied to the fishing net.
The other three did the same, and their movements were practiced.
Nantian Fan didn't know how to play anymore. It took him a while to tie one up, and then he clumsily used a knife to cut the thread.
Four people had finished processing a long fishing net, but he hadn't even finished one-tenth of it.
Everyone came over to help him again, and their speed increased.
"Follow us. Find a place and lie on the ground. Cover your body with the net and look outside through the net. Don't make a sound."
Jiang Chuan began to look for a place and chose a spot. The two Winged Knights lay down one after the other, facing each other in the same direction and covered the fishing net.
Nantian Fan's jaw dropped. "There's actually such a good method. We can't see anyone and the ground is damp."
"It's much better than lying in the snow. We won't meet anyone today. Tonight, we'll stay here and not go back. The journey is long, and it'll take a lot of energy to go back and forth."
After saying that, Jiang Chuan lay down, adjusted his posture, and stopped moving.
"What do you want to eat? There are wild beasts and mosquitoes in the mountains at night. "Nantian Fan wanted to go back. He was afraid of spending the night outside.
"Lie down and don't make a sound. I'll tell you when we're eating." Jiang Chuan signaled with his eyes.
"So be it. We're all humans. If you're not afraid of hunger, I'm not afraid either." Nantian Fan found an excuse for himself.
He felt that he had an advantage. He belonged to the Nantian family and had good stamina.
In the past, he carried a basket with more than 50 kilograms of iron ore. He walked from morning to night and only ate a little. The rest of the time, he drank water.
He was no match for the warriors of the Tang dynasty when it came to killing people. But in terms of endurance, he should be much stronger than them.
He lay down with a sulky and competitive heart. He opened his mouth slightly and breathed without making a sound. He wanted to see who would be the first to lose control.
Time passed, and the sun moved to the middle of the sky. The birds that had been scared away came back.
On the other hand, the wild beasts that had run away did not wander around here. Obviously, they knew that this place was dangerous.
'When I saw you under the setting sun, the red color on the horizon was so beautiful. Even though the wind was a little cool, the flame in my heart never went out.'
A person carrying a large basket walked over with light steps, singing as he walked.
Nantian Fan, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes wide and looked through the gaps in the leaves. He wanted to remind the other party to be careful, but he held back.
That person sang as he walked away, and the song disappeared.
"That's the person who's going to trade," Nantian Fan said in a low voice.
"That's the pathfinder. He'll be back in a while. Get ready." Jiang Chuan gave a different answer.
"I've seen that person several times. They always trade in a group." Nantian Fan looked as if he knew the situation better than Jiang Chuan.
"He's going to snatch other people's ores to trade. There's only a few stones in his basket. He's just putting on an act for others to see. He's afraid that the Nantian family's team will come here."
"How do you know? You can see through the basket? "
"You can walk with a big basket of stones on your back? Aren't you panting when you sing? "
"Uh … Right! Catch him! "Nantian Fan reacted and his voice became louder.
"Shut up."
"Oh!"
Twenty minutes later, the person from before returned. He stopped singing and walked faster than before.
There was a relatively flat area in front of the road. More importantly, there was a small river that was more than a meter wide.
He put down the basket and looked for a leaf. He placed it in his mouth and blew. The sharp sound traveled far.
Not long after, another seven people ran over with baskets on their backs.
When this person saw them, he carried the basket and walked forward. He was also very fast.
The seven people came near the river, placed the baskets, and took out wooden bowls to drink water.
Nantian Fan's heart raced. He knew them. They were people who had traded for ironware.
With his IQ, he understood everything. These people had killed and snatched things, brought things to trade, and were now putting on an act.
Soon, there would be people who really wanted to trade. These damn people.
Just as he thought, about ten minutes later, eight people walked over with baskets on their backs. Every step they took seemed very heavy.
The eight people who came later bent their backs and leaned forward. Their arms naturally drooped, and their steps were not big. Similarly, their legs were not high.
Nantian Fan's palms were sweating. He carefully rubbed his hands on his clothes and grabbed the hilt of his knife.
In his eyes, there was no law. If others wanted to kill and snatch goods, how could the Nantian family survive?
When the people who came later saw that there were people here, they were first vigilant. When they saw the baskets, someone came forward to talk and look at the baskets.
Not long after, the eight people were relieved. They placed the baskets at the side and drank from the river water tiredly.
The seven people who came first seemed to have rested and were about to leave to tidy up the baskets.
The people who came later seemed more at ease and were even chatting and laughing.
Nantian Fan panicked. He saw someone take out a crossbow from the basket.
He turned to look at Jiang Chuan and urged him with his eyes. Hurry up, he would die if he waited any longer.
"It's too far away. It's not me," Jiang Chuan explained helplessly.
"Where else?" Nantian Fan was tormented.
"Uh!" "Aiya!" "Down the field!" "Ah!" "Aiyo!" "Mm!" "Mm!"
The eight people who came later heard the commotion. Nantian Fan was stunned as he held his binoculars.
He didn't see where the attack came from. He only saw that some of the seven people had arrows in their throats, some had arrow shafts in their eyes, and some were clutching their chests.
Five of them were definitely dead. How could they be so accurate?
The eight people didn't know the situation. They shouted and ran into the forest on both sides of the road.
Clearly, they knew that this road wasn't safe, so they walked together to embolden each other.
They didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, seven people would be attacked. They were probably finished.
"There's one more, there's one more." Nantian Fan thought of the person in front of him in shock.
"Caught them. Eight people. Kill five and leave three alive. The two alive here are the ones who have a say in this team. Others always act according to their expressions," Jiang Chuan said calmly.
Jiang Chuan said calmly. There was no nervousness in his voice.
