Ren Xiaosu did not think too deeply about the meaning of Luo Lan's gesture to him, so he did not know that Luo Lan was deeply regretting coming to the Sacred Mountains and acting so rashly.
As Luo Lan thought about it, he fell asleep.
That night, the monster did not come near the campsite again. While Ren Xiaosu slept, he still made "Old Xu" sit cross-legged outside the campsite. As long as any creature attacked "Old Xu," he could immediately sense it through his sense of pain.
Although he could not control "Old Xu" while he was sleeping, it was like bait in the wilderness alone. If the enemy was a wild beast, who would it attack?
It would definitely not be a campsite with dozens of people.
After this battle, everyone in the campsite could only hear the commotion, but they could not find out what was going on outside. This caused everyone to lose sleep again.
Cheng Yu sighed. He did not get a good night's sleep on the way to the Sacred Mountains.
He sat outside the tent and let the flickering campfire make his cheeks flush. Song Qiao was holding a cup of hot water and warming his hands as he sat down next to him. "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if we can get out of the Sacred Mountains alive," Cheng Yu said calmly.
"Hehe, what's the point of thinking about that?" Song Qiao said with a smile, "Have you ever thought that the person from the Anjing House might not care if we survive or not?"
Cheng Yu glanced at him. "No, I haven't."
As Song Qiao listened to the accompanying snoring, he looked at Luo Lan's tent and lamented, "I'm a little envious of him. That Fatty Luo sure has a big heart. If I had a younger brother like Qing Zhen, I would've gone somewhere to live a carefree life a long time ago. I wouldn't have risked my life here. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall. With such a prominent identity, he should cherish his life very much. I wonder what Fatty Luo is after. "
"Who knows?" Cheng Yu sighed and said, "But don't underestimate Fatty Luo. Just like we said before, there must be a backup plan for Luo Lan in this group, and it must be very powerful too."
"Then let's wait and see." Song Qiao shrugged.
After daybreak, without even washing their faces or brushing their teeth, they hurriedly formed teams and ran to the scene of last night's battle.
The place where the battle took place 500 meters away was a mess, but strangely, there was no trace of blood.
"Could it be that neither side hurt the other?" Cheng Yu frowned and said, "This is too strange. The two of them caused such a huge commotion in their battle, but not a single person was injured?"
"They might also be very cautious. After all, if they get injured in a place like this, they might lose their lives here," Song Qiao said.
At this moment, Wang Yun was standing next to a tree that had been cut down by Old Xu's black saber. He looked at the neat cuts on the trunk and was secretly shocked. How sharp was the weapon in his hand to be able to cut off the trunk that was as thick as a person's arms around it? And the cuts were so neat too?
Not only did the weapon have to be sharp, but the wielder also had to be extremely strong.
A young woman next to her also noticed the cut on the tree trunk. She asked in surprise, "Have you ever seen such a sharp weapon?"
Her words reminded Cheng Yu of something. He might not know if others had seen it before, but he had!
When Old Xu killed T5102, he also lamented how powerful the weapon had to be to be able to cut a T5 combatant in half with a single slash.
Not just anyone could get their hands on a weapon like that.
Therefore, Cheng Yu immediately realized the person who fought here last night might be White Mask, who he had seen before!
"I've seen someone who can do this before." Cheng Yu said in a low voice, "As you all know, someone intercepted the Pyro Company's convoy. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that White Mask cut a T5 combatant in half with a single slash of his saber."
"You mean the person who fought here last night was also White Mask?" Wang Yun wondered, "But why did he appear here?"
Cheng Yu looked at Luo Lan. "Boss Luo, do you have any thoughts on this?"
"No." Luo Lan cursed, "The battle is a matter for you supernatural beings. I'm only in charge of the general direction!"
Cheng Yu immediately felt like cursing. 'Who needs you to be in charge of the general direction?'
He looked at Luo Lan in annoyance. "Then why don't you tell me what we should do now?"
Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we retreat? I think it's too dangerous here. I'm still young anyway, so I don't need something like the No. 001 Experimental to prolong my life. The bosses behind you people are all treating this Experimental like Tripiṭaka's flesh. It's as though eating it will make you immortal like him."
At this moment, Luo Lan was thinking that if even Ren Xiaosu could not protect him, what was the point of him staying here? What he did not know was that this was just a beautiful misunderstanding. Winking in real life was definitely not as magical as it was depicted in art.
Luo Lan continued trying to persuade them, "You guys must have been sent here by the various consortiums, right? But think about it. You're risking your lives here, but in the end, you're helping someone else achieve immortality. If your boss gets immortality, won't it be painful for you?!"
Wang Yun glanced at Luo Lan. Wasn't it precisely because he was worried that his boss, Kong Erdong, would live for too long that he sat back and watched Vanilla create an accident to kill him?
But Wang Yun could not leave. He had to capture the No. 001 Experimental this time. Even if he could not capture it, he would still have to obtain a DNA sample from it. Only then would he be able to establish himself in the Kong Clan.
Actually, it was a little risky for him to leave the Kong Clan now. After all, his two competitors who stayed behind in the Kong Clan would definitely be trying their best to get rid of their dissidents. If he did not return with great credit, he might not even be able to keep his position as the director of the 2nd Military Research Division.
Wang Yun said, "We're already here, so what's the point of leaving? Besides, that White Mask clearly wants to enter the Sacred Mountains as well. With such a powerhouse around, what's there for us to worry about?"
Luo Lan pursed his lips and said, "You make it sound like you know him. When he goes on a killing spree, you'll still have to die."
On this battlefield, Luo Lan and Wang Yun started arguing. One of them wanted to retreat while the other wanted to enter the Sacred Mountains. The others were also happy to watch the commotion and wait for the two of them to argue for a while more.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu spoke up. He still needed to enter the mountains to save Yan Liuyuan, so he did not have the time to waste here. "Enough with the nonsense. Let's continue moving forward."
When Cheng Yu saw Ren Xiaosu speak up, he was immediately amused. He even started fanning the flames at Luo Lan. "He said you're just spouting nonsense."
Luo Lan paused for a moment before looking at Cheng Yu. "I'm just spouting nonsense. What about it?"
Cheng Yu was speechless.
But at this moment, the way Cheng Yu looked at Ren Xiaosu suddenly changed. He suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was the person Luo Lan was relying on!
