Li Shentan and Little Liren were both wearing light blue windbreaker jackets. It was quite difficult to find such professional outdoor equipment in the stronghold these days, mainly because there were not many people who needed it. Only some large garment factories would produce such clothes and provide them to the rich in the stronghold for them to travel in the wilderness.
"When you find the right way, I'll call you Big Brother Shentan," Little Liren said stubbornly. "Before you find the right way, you're just Li Shentan."
Li Shentan said angrily as they walked, "But do you think I'm the only one with the problem? You could have flown in the sky to lead the way, but look at the result!"
Logically speaking, the two of them should not have gotten lost. After all, Little Liren could fly. No matter how complicated the terrain in the mountains and forests were, it should not have confused people in the sky.
But in reality, Si Liren could fly in the wrong direction even though she was flying in the sky.
The journey was long, and if she flew at the wrong angle, she might end up flying in a circle. This was the biggest headache for Li Shentan!
Later on, the crazy Li Shentan came up with an idea. "Since you'll go around in circles if you fly straight, you might as well fly in a curve. You might even be able to find the way out this way."
After that, they got completely lost.
To be honest, if it were not for this lousy idea, they would not have gotten so lost. Little Liren was still young and did not have much ability to distinguish right from wrong. If she were a few years older, she would have rejected Li Shentan mercilessly on the spot when he came up with this lousy idea.
Little Liren muttered, "Don't come up with random ideas in the future!"
Li Shentan said bitterly, "I don't get it either. How can we deviate from the route when we're flying in the sky?"
"Li Shentan, are you blaming me?" Little Liren asked.
"No." Li Shentan was discouraged. "Forget it, forget it. Don't worry, we'll get out of here one day."
Fortunately, both of them were Extraordinaires, so it was not difficult for them to obtain food in the forest. Although the food was a little bad, they did not starve to death.
Li Shentan lamented, "If only Ren Xiaosu could come with us to watch the typhoon. At least he wouldn't get lost, and barbecue in the wilderness is delicious …"
"Why don't we go to the Northwest to invite him first, and then go to the seaside?" Little Liren asked.
Li Shentan asked woodenly, "Can we still go back?"
That's right, they didn't even know where they were and they couldn't go back at all. Xiao Liren flew up to the sky and took a look. All around her were forests and she couldn't see the end of it.
Although the two of them were very strong, they had spent most of their lives in a mental hospital. They were extremely lacking in general knowledge. Therefore, Li Shentan suddenly started to miss Ren Xiaosu.
From Li Shentan's point of view, Ren Xiaosu was almost omnipotent in the areas that he was not good at.
"There are snakes," Xiao Liren said as she looked at the treetops in front of them.
Li Shentan suddenly got nervous. "Hey, stay closer to me then."
He said that not because he was afraid Xiao Liren would be ambushed by the venomous snakes, but because the metal box that Xiao Liren was carrying could make all kinds of snakes, insects, and venomous ants retreat.
Although Li Shentan did not know the principle behind this, the snakes, insects, and venomous ants in the forest seemed to be quite afraid of Chen Wudi, even if he was just a statue at the moment.
Li Shentan leaned close to the box. During this period of getting lost in the forest, he had to lie next to the box even when he slept. He wished he could hug it to sleep.
Speaking of which, it was funny that this legendary figure who was known as a demigod in the supernatural world was actually afraid of snakes.
Moreover, wherever Chen Wudi was around, even the miasma would be dispelled. In Li Shentan's words, with Chen Wudi by their side, they would be impervious to all evil. They could do whatever they wanted in a place filled with snakes, insects, and venomous ants!
However, Xiao Liren asked Li Shentan a little doubtfully, "But isn't it a little disrespectful for you to use Big Brother Wudi as a protective talisman?"
Li Shentan said nonchalantly, "How can that be? Xiao Liren is so cute, so of course he's willing to protect you."
"Then is he willing to protect you?" Xiao Liren continued to wonder.
Li Shentan thought for a long time before saying, "I'm very cute too!"
But at this moment, Li Shentan suddenly stopped in his tracks. He took out a pair of small shoes from the backpack on his back and put them on Si Liren. "Someone's coming, someone's coming. Let's pretend to be normal. Who knows, maybe someone will take us out of here."
Si Liren said, "You can just hypnotize them."
"No, I promised Ren Xiaosu to be a good person, so how can I hypnotize ordinary people? If they turn out to be good people, wouldn't I be standing on the opposite side of good people?" Li Shentan said righteously.
"Then what if they don't want to take us out?" Si Liren asked.
"Then they're bad people," Li Shentan said firmly.
Li Shentan had already helped Si Liren put on the small shoes. Si Liren landed lightly on the ground with the huge suitcase on her back. Then she said in distress, "But I'm carrying Big Brother Wudi on my back, so I can't pretend to be a normal person no matter how I look at it."
"Don't worry about it." Li Shentan said, "If someone asks, just say the suitcase is very light."
Li Shentan did not know what to do at the moment, but he decided to put it aside for now.
A few minutes later, the sound of weeds being chopped could be heard from the forest. This forest was so dense that it was almost like a tropical rainforest. It was still a little difficult for humans to walk through it.
Li Shentan and Si Liren waited in silence. After a while, someone emerged from the forest. When the other party saw Li Shentan and Si Liren, he was stunned. "Don't kill us. We accidentally trespassed on your territory. We're just here to pick herbs."
Li Shentan was stunned. He and Si Liren looked at each other. "We don't kill people, and this isn't our territory either."
Seven or eight dark-skinned herb gatherers emerged from behind the forest. "Then you're … eh, I've seen the style of clothes they're wearing before. Some of the stronghold's big shots wear this kind of clothes when they leave the stronghold. Are you people from the stronghold?"
Li Shentan laughed. "That's right. We came from the stronghold, but we got lost in the forest. May I know where we are and how far away we are from the Zhou Clan?"
The herb gatherers looked at each other. "The nearest Zhou Clan stronghold, Stronghold 83, is over 100 kilometers away from here. How did you get lost here?"
"That's a long story. I wonder if y 'all can bring us out of here? As payment, I can perform some magic tricks for y' all along the way," Li Shentan said in a serious tone.
The herb gatherers were amused. This was the first time they had heard of someone using magic tricks as payment. However, they did not mind. One of the men who seemed to be the leader said with a smile, "It's not a problem to bring y 'all out. It's just that we need to pick some herbs in these mountains. When we're done, y' all can follow us north."
Si Liren smiled sweetly as she carried the large box on her back. "Thank you!"
At this moment, everyone's attention turned to the box. Someone wondered, "What's in the box? Why are y 'all carrying such a large box when you're outdoors?"
Li Shentan thought for a long time before saying, "It's a magic prop!"
The herb gatherers clearly did not believe him.
However, these people surprisingly did not continue asking questions. Instead, they looked for an open space to set up camp. One of them said to Li Shentan, "We're planning to set up camp here tonight. We'll continue our journey into the mountains tomorrow morning."
Li Shentan looked at the herbalists and suddenly sighed.
