The soldier Yang Xiaojin was pointing at happened to be the one who harassed Luo Xinyu the most, so Ren Xiaosu thought that Yang Xiaojin was going to help Luo Xinyu, right?
Previously, Ren Xiaosu had thought that Yang Xiaojin was also someone who would let things go if it had nothing to do with her. However, he did not expect that she would not stand to see Luo Xinyu being harassed. Perhaps this was the bottom line of being a woman.
The people in front turned around to watch the commotion. They wanted to know if Yang Xiaojin would get into a violent conflict with the private soldiers.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Xianchu and realized that he only frowned and did not stop them. It seemed that Xu Xianchu also felt that the soldiers were going a little overboard.
Meanwhile, none of the other soldiers dared to step forward to speak up for the soldier. It was obvious at a glance whether the troops were united or not.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not intend to stand on ceremony with them. He walked up to the soldier and pulled out the gun at his waist. When the soldiers were fleeing, they felt that the guns were too heavy, so they threw them away and only kept their pistols.
The soldier said coldly, "Do you know how serious the crime of stealing a private soldier's gun is?"
Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "If you threaten me again, you might have to die right now."
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he almost wanted to applaud. What a decisive girl …
When he pulled out the soldier's gun, the soldier placed his right hand on his waist in an attempt to silently stop Ren Xiaosu. However, Ren Xiaosu's current strength was so great that it was unimaginable. He forcefully pried the soldier's fingers away. If the soldier had not given up halfway, Ren Xiaosu could have broken his fingers.
It was a gun! Ren Xiaosu could finally hold a gun openly. Ever since he obtained the Advanced Firearms Proficiency skill, he had not had the chance to openly use a gun!
The soldier who had his gun taken away looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Didn't you already take the gun away? Why are you still touching it?"
"Where's the magazine?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
The soldier was speechless. "The left side of the combat uniform."
As he allowed Ren Xiaosu to search him, he sneered at Yang Xiaojin and said, "Even if you give him a gun, will a refugee like him know how to use it?"
The others also thought there was nothing wrong with what the soldier said. Only Yang Xiaojin was a little puzzled when she saw how Ren Xiaosu held the gun.
Of everyone present, Yang Xiaojin was undoubtedly the one who knew the most about firearms. Otherwise, the palace's evaluation of her would not be perfect.
So when everyone else thought Ren Xiaosu would not know how to use the gun even if he held it, she could clearly sense that Ren Xiaosu's grip on the gun was very natural and practiced. Even the angle at which he lowered his arm was the most suitable angle for him to raise the gun at any time!
But Ren did not know how to Xiaosu Yang with the gun. was also said to said soldier out, "Yang is Yao]
However, she didn't hesitate for too long and just said to the soldier, "Scram."
Having one's gun taken away was probably one of the greatest humiliation a soldier could suffer. The soldier walked to the side with a livid expression. Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Xu Xianchu said, "Let's move on. We need to find a suitable campsite before sunset."
Xu Xianchu also did not want to get involved in the messy affairs of the team. Right now, he only had the Jing Mountains on his mind and nothing else.
Along the way, the private troops formed a clear boundary with Luo Xinyu, Yang Xiaojin, and Ren Xiaosu. Both sides were very far away from each other.
However, Ren Xiaosu was thinking about something else. If Yang Xiaojin insisted on helping Luo Xinyu and even wanted to help Luo Xinyu get out of here, he would have no choice but to give up this temporary alliance.
At this moment, Luo Xinyu said to Yang Xiaojin, "Thank you for helping me. I hope we can work together in the coming days and get out of the Jing Mountains together."
But Ren Xiaosu could clearly see Yang Xiaojin being stunned for a moment. Then Yang Xiaojin said to Luo Xinyu, "I didn't help you for nothing. Return me the money I gave you first."
Luo Xinyu was stunned for a long time. She took out 10,000 yuan from her bag and handed it to Yang Xiaojin. "You gave me 5,000 yuan back then, so I'll give you 10,000 yuan as thanks."
Yang Xiaojin nodded indifferently and casually pocketed the 10,000 yuan. She did not stand on ceremony at all.
When Luo Xinyu saw Yang Xiaojin accept it, she smiled. "Then you'll help me along the way, right?"
"Let me correct you." Yang Xiaojin said to Luo Xinyu, "I've never thought of helping you get out of the Jing Mountains. I can only guarantee that you'll die with dignity."
Luo Xinyu was speechless.
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he understood what Yang Xiaojin meant. She was only guaranteeing that Luo Xinyu would not be violated by the soldiers of the private army. As for whether she lived or died, she did not really care.
Actually, Luo Xinyu was also quite pitiful. She had taken the initiative to get out of the stronghold, but she did not even have anyone she could trust.
A fork in the road appeared up ahead. It was a mountain road that led in two different directions.
The tall canopy of the trees here almost covered the entire sky. No one could even tell where the sun was. Even the direction of the Jing Mountains was a little blurry.
Xu Xianchu turned around and asked Ren Xiaosu, "Which way should we go?"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu heard a voice coming from the palace. "Quest: Point the way."
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Left."
"Quest complete. Awarded 1.0 Dexterity."
Ren Xiaosu could feel his muscles firming up a little more. He finally confirmed one thing: Strength and Dexterity equaled true muscle strength. Just adding Strength or Dexterity alone would not work.
At this moment, the soldier who had his gun taken away said coldly, "Didn't you say that you've never ventured deep into this place before? I remember you saying that you came out after hiding in the canyon for a few days. How do you know the way?"
Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "I don't know the way."
Xu Xianchu was speechless.
Yang Xiaojin was speechless.
Everyone was speechless. Why did you randomly point the way if you didn't know the way?
However, Ren Xiaosu did not feel pressured at all. The quest given by the palace was to point the way, but it did not specify which way to go. In any case, whether he knew the way or not, he just had to point it out.
Although he did not know the way, he still had to complete the quest!
Xu Xianchu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then why did you point to the left?"
Ren Xiaosu said, "Although I don't know the way, I know that the Jing Mountains are in front of us on the left."
"Alright." Xu Xianchu nodded. "Then we'll take the left. Let me know if you see a suitable place to set up camp."
When making decisions in the wilderness, Xu Xianchu would habitually ask for Ren Xiaosu's opinion. And as it turned out, Ren Xiaosu's opinions were usually not wrong.
Ren Xiaosu would climb up the pine trees he saw along the way to pick some pine cones and plump pine needles. The others were a little puzzled. They could understand why he was picking pine cones since they were edible after all.
But what was he doing picking pine needles for? Ren Xiaosu squeezed the pine needles into a pale green juice before licking it clean with his tongue. He said to the others, "If you don't want to die of thirst, you can learn from me."
Some people were hesitant about whether they should learn from him or not. In the end, both Yang Xiaojin and Xu Xianchu climbed up the pine trees without hesitation.
