Everyone was speechless when they heard Luo Lan's words. Could he be any more shameless?
But someone suddenly realized, "Aren't there five women here? Aren't you the minority? There's just enough of them."
Luo Lan was stunned. Only then did he realize he had left out Yang Xiaojin.
It was only because he knew about the relationship between Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin that he had filtered out Yang Xiaojin and did not treat Yang Xiaojin as a woman!
Luo Lan laughed awkwardly and said, "Hahaha, I counted wrong, I counted wrong."
"Is Luo Lan so thick-skinned occasionally, or has he always been this thick-skinned?" Yang Xiaojin asked Ren Xiaosu in a low voice while everyone's attention was on Luo Lan.
Ren Xiaosu sighed. "He's always been this thick-skinned."
After all, back when Luo Lan wanted to recruit Dong Funan, he had been visiting their medicine hall every day.
"We better be careful. Even Old Xu didn't notice what's lurking around." Ren Xiaosu said, "The culprit might have some way to avoid Old Xu. Even I didn't notice it when it was killing people just now."
"Mhm." Yang Xiaojin said, "Big Bluff and I will be keeping watch tonight. You should get a good rest tonight and conserve your strength. But what's going on with this fox? Why did we find human organs in its stomach? "
"I'm guessing it might have been following something to feed on. That thing only kills people, so it tore its prey's neck apart and left. Meanwhile, the fox ate the food it didn't want. That's why Luo Lan's team saw the corpses being gutted after they died. We thought it was done by one creature, but it was actually two. There are a lot of symbiotic situations in the wilderness, and … "
"And what?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"Besides, if my guess is correct, the culprit is most likely a person, and this fox might even be the other party's pet." Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, "If that's the case, then it'll be a little troublesome."
"Why would you come to such a conclusion?" Yang Xiaojin was puzzled.
"Did you notice that this fox's fur is very clean? It's like it's been washed. Wild beasts in the wilderness, even if they like to be clean, won't be this clean?" Ren Xiaosu explained.
Others might not have noticed this problem, but how could Ren Xiaosu not notice it when he was in the wilderness all year round?
If this fox was really someone's pet, then the other party would probably hate them for killing it with Old Xu. They would definitely have some means of revenge waiting for all of them.
At this moment, "Old Xu," who was walking about a kilometer in front of the group, suddenly turned around and saw a rock shooting at them from the wilderness.
The rock was extremely fast and hit "Old Xu" in the chest like a bullet, causing it to stagger a little. If a normal person were to get hit like that, they would probably vomit blood on the spot. Even supernatural beings might not feel good about it.
But when "Old Xu" went to check its surroundings, it did not find the person who threw the rock.
Ren Xiaosu's back was hurting so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. "The other party has already started taking revenge on" Old Xu. "I can't find its location, so I can't determine what it is."
But at least Ren Xiaosu had guessed correctly. The fox was indeed the other party's pet. Otherwise, the other party would not have been so eager to take revenge on "Old Xu."
"How did they take revenge? What means? "Yang Xiaojin asked.
"They hit" Old Xu "with a rock," Ren Xiaosu explained.
Yang Xiaojin was taken aback when she heard that. Why did hitting someone with a rock sound like something a child would do?
When they started moving again that day, because everyone was afraid, everyone obediently lined up and moved forward in a formation.
Not only that, Luo Lan even specially divided the group into several groups, with each group taking turns to guard the rear and protect the flanks. At this moment, Luo Lan felt like he had returned to the Kyung Clan and was leading the new recruits. It was quite enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, the combat brigade that Luo Lan had once led was one of the most ferocious fighting forces in the Kyung Clan.
In the afternoon, the other party seemed to realize that there was no suitable opportunity to kill them for the time being, so they did not make another move.
Some people also wanted to leave, but how could they leave now?
If they were to turn back now, they might even get ambushed by that monster. Without knowing what the other party was or how strong they were, leaving the group alone would be akin to courting death.
When they set up camp at night, Luo Lan even arranged for each group to take turns keeping watch. He even specially drew out the night watch area and specified the positions of the sentry posts, such as when they would be on duty and when they would change shifts. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Ren Xiaosu watched quietly. He realized that the sentry posts designated by Luo Lan were very particular. If anyone wanted to launch a sneak attack on the campsite, they would not be able to escape the sight of these sentry posts.
If something happened to the people at the sentry posts, the others would also know very quickly.
Regarding this matter, Cheng Yu and Song Qiao were also a little ashamed of themselves. They were supernatural beings, but they did not have any experience leading troops into battle. They might be good at killing people, but when it came to organizational and coordination skills, they were far inferior to Luo Lan.
Sometimes, it was very easy for people to overlook Luo Lan's talent with his outward appearance. A long time ago, someone in the Kyung Clan once mentioned that Luo Lan might be more suitable to be a shadow than Qing Zhen. Later on, because Luo Lan was just an illegitimate child, no one mentioned it again.
After making arrangements for the night watch, Luo Lan swaggered back to his campfire and got ready to sleep.
Cheng Yu hurriedly stopped him. "Aren't we going to discuss how to deal with that thing that ambushed us?"
Luo Lan gave him a strange look. "That's a matter for you supernatural beings. What does it have to do with me?"
After that, Luo Lan ignored Cheng Yu and went straight to sleep.
Cheng Yu felt a headache looking at Fatty Luo. He asked Song Qiao, "What exactly is that fatty planning to do? What's the point of him entering the Sacred Mountains?"
"Who knows?" Song Qiao sighed.
In just a minute, Luo Lan's snoring started ringing throughout the campsite. His breathing was rhythmic and hearty.
Next to Luo Lan, Zhou Qi was also fast asleep.
Cheng Yu found it a little strange. He asked Song Qiao, "Wait a minute, those two are together, right? They're just sleeping like that. Why aren't they keeping watch at night? Is Fatty Luo really not afraid that we'll plot against him? Did they do the same thing before? "
Song Qiao was stunned. He recalled for a moment and said, "That can't be right. When he was with us, he was very vigilant. The two of them never fell asleep at the same time."
"That's strange." Cheng Yu looked at the campsite and said firmly, "This means that there's someone in this campsite that Luo Lan and Zhou Qi can trust. They can even fall asleep in such an environment without having to worry about their safety. Only Luo Lan would dare to sleep like that if he believes that no one can kill him here! "
