He didn't think too much about it. He had already left the safe route, and it was indeed not a good place to stay for long. Observing his surroundings, Miao Yi stealthily made his way back to the so-called safe zone. At the same time, he paid attention to the surroundings to see if there were any immortal herbs.
It was unlikely that he would continue to venture deeper into the danger zone to search for Zhao Xingwu. He also did not know if Zhao Xingwu could leave this place alive.
By the time he managed to sneak back to the safe zone, the sky had already darkened.
It was too dangerous to continue wandering around in the middle of the night. He couldn't even see the road clearly, and there were monsters that appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
More importantly, he had run for too long and was very tired. He had no choice but to find a place to rest. Looking around, he made his way to the stone forest at the foot of the mountain.
Barging in, Zhang Xuan found a small cave amidst the rubble. He heaved a sigh of relief. This was the best place to spend the night.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he crawled into the hole, a large hand suddenly appeared and grabbed him by the neck. Miao Yi instinctively stabbed the Pig Slaughtering Knife at the hand to save himself, but the other party's reaction was different. He abruptly grabbed his wrist.
The two people in the cave were finally facing each other. After Miao Yi saw the other party's face clearly, his eyes flashed, and he signaled the other party to let him go.
The other party was the big man with a curly beard from before. Unexpectedly, he was also hiding here.
"It's you?" The burly man with the curly mustache was more or less taken aback. He creased his brows and slowly let go of Miao Yi. At the same time, he snatched the butcher's knife from Miao Yi's hand, as though he was still a little worried about Miao Yi. The memory of Miao Yi's ruthlessness from before was still fresh in his mind, and he was worried that Miao Yi would stab him in the back.
"Cough cough!" Miao Yi's face was flushed red as he covered his neck and coughed twice.
The curly-bearded man quickly covered his mouth and shouted in a low voice, "Don't be noisy! Is the monster still out there? "
So he was hiding here because he ran into a monster again.
Miao Yi waved his hand and waited for her to release him. Panting, he shook his head and said, "I didn't see any monsters when I came over."
The burly man with a curly beard stuck his head out of the cave to observe for a moment, then retracted his head and stared at Miao Yi with furrowed brows. "Brat, you're so young, yet you're already so ruthless. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it. It doesn't seem like you're trying to snatch something, but more like you're trying to get rid of those three brats. Kid, tell me honestly, did those three people really have immortal herbs on them? "
Miao Yi stared at the Pig Slaughtering Knife that had fallen into the other party's hand. After thinking for a while, he decided not to hide anything and explained the general situation with some reservations.
"They really are three damned idiots! I say, you're still young, but you're not muddle-headed at all when it comes to cheating people. I say … bah! Kid, "You there Mi'T Mien Yi for time to time. t." Mitime, I, and and a. to go., to, "time"
He then turned to look at Miao Yi's bag and asked, "I was so focused on running for my life that I lost all the food and drinks I brought with me. You won't mind sharing some with me, right?"
Without another word, Miao Yi untied his bundle, took out some dry rations and water, and handed them over. He said, "Uncle, why don't we take turns to rest tonight, and take turns to keep watch? 't......... much. mind. mind..... "."....
Miao Yi could tell that the other party was a martial artist. He was no match for him in a fight. He was a little worried that the other party might be up to no good, so he had to let him know that he was still useful.
The man looked at Miao Yi meaningfully. His lips curled into a teasing smile, but he didn't say anything. He took the food and started eating. As he ate, he looked outside the cave and muttered, "The sky outside isn't that dark yet. The fog here is thick, so it gets dark early."
Just like that, the two of them chatted as they ate. The man's name was Yan Beihong. He used to be the military commander of a city with a population of a million. However, because he had stolen the City Lord's concubine, he got into trouble. In the end, his entire family was implicated. In a fit of rage, he killed the City Lord and ran away.
It wasn't easy being hunted down. With nowhere else to go, he decided to risk his life by barging into the Boundless Secular World.
Yan Beihong was also curious why Miao Yi would come here to die at such a young age. Miao Yi didn't hide anything from him.
That night, according to their agreement, the two of them took turns to rest and keep watch.
Their cooperation was pleasant throughout the night. In addition, Miao Yi's words yesterday had caused a group of people to rob him. It made Miao Yi realize that even if he managed to pick the immortal herb by himself, it would still be troublesome. So the next day, Miao Yi took the initiative to request an alliance with Yan Beihong.
Yan Beihong didn't agree nor refuse. When the sun rose, he tossed the butcher's knife back to Miao Yi and they set off together.
With their previous encounter with the Hell Mantis as an example, the two of them didn't dare to run off the safe route. It wasn't every day that they were lucky enough to escape. They obediently followed the safe route on the map as they advanced.
However, from what they saw along the way, the so-called safe route didn't seem to be safe at all. Severed limbs could be seen along the safe route.
Judging from the bloody corpses that were either directly cut open or chewed on, it was obvious that many people had also been attacked by the Hell Mantis on the safe route.
The two of them even hid behind a rock and witnessed with their own eyes a group of Hell Mantises leisurely crawling past. It scared the hell out of them.
The two of them vaguely realized that even though the Hell Mantis was bloodthirsty, it wasn't the kind that would exterminate everyone. It would more or less leave a path of survival for them. It seemed that the more cowardly a person was, the more the Hell Mantis wouldn't let them go.
The further they went in, the mountains collapsed, the rivers changed their course, and the ground was riddled with holes. It was a scene that couldn't be caused by a human, and it was hard to imagine what had happened here. Could it be that a great war between immortals and demons had really taken place here?
The following encounter made Miao Yi rejoice that he and Yan Beihong were companions.
Even though the Glorious Star immortal herb was a special product of the Boundless Secular World, it didn't grow everywhere. The two of them walked deep into the Boundless Secular World for a few days, but they didn't even see the shadow of a single immortal herb.
What was even more frightening was that after escaping the Hell Mantis's attack, they encountered the threat of their own kind.
Yan Beihong had lost the rations he was carrying on his escape, and Miao Yi only brought ten days' worth of rations with him. No one would carry a month's worth of rations and run all over the place, so his rations alone could still last him for ten days. If the two of them ate together, it would be hard for them to even last five days.
The situation of food shortage was obviously happening to the others as well. The two of them were surrounded by five people, who were forcing them to hand over the meager amount of rations they had left.
Yan Beihong chuckled coldly. Without any fear, he immediately drew the saber from his waist and charged forward.
As expected of someone who had once been the military commander of a city with a population of a million. His skills were valiant, and his saber was practically glaring with blood. He fought one against five, and beheaded all five of them.
Wiping the bloodstains off his saber, Yan Beihong gathered the meager amount of rations from the five corpses together and tossed it over to Miao Yi's back. The two of them now had another two days' worth of rations.
