Just as Prince Shen and Ying Cheng were worried about, when the sky turned dark and the three of them were about to find a place to camp, they unexpectedly encountered a wild boar.
"Meat!" Xiang Xiaohua jumped up and down happily.
Clearly, in her eyes, all animals only represented one thing — food.
"This guy is here to drink water." Ying Cheng took out a dagger from his bag.
Prince Shen calmly took out a gun and said, "If we follow the water, we will definitely encounter a lot of animals."
Xiang Xiaohua didn't care about any of this. She screamed and rushed toward the wild boar that was about to run away.
"It seems like we don't have to do anything." Ying Cheng shrugged.
Xiang Xiaohua had already grabbed the wild boar's four legs and lifted it up high. Then, she smashed it against a big rock.
"She's really that strong …" This was the first time Prince Shen had seen a live performance. He looked at Ying Cheng and sighed.
"What's with that look?" Why did he see sympathy in his eyes …
Prince Shen silently turned his head. He felt that the rest of Ying Cheng's life would be miserable.
He had a wife who tore a wild boar with her bare hands …
"Okay, leave the rest to me!" Ying Cheng stopped Xiaohua from trying to break the wild boar's neck. He dragged the wild boar to the river and began to skin it and dig out its internal organs.
Prince Shen and Ying Cheng were both experts in wilderness survival. They had brought all kinds of seasonings. The wild boar that was roasted with wood was especially fragrant. Xiang Xiaohua ate until her tongue almost fell off.
"I'll go bury these. You two set up the tent." Seeing that they were almost done eating, Prince Shen cleaned up the trash and said, "We'll camp here tonight."
Because Xiang Xiaohua was too prone to accidents, Ying Cheng specially prepared a large tent for the three of them to sleep in. For Xiang Xiaohua, who was sleeping in a sleeping bag for the first time, she couldn't fall asleep.
"Xiaohua, where did you sleep the last time you went down the mountain by yourself?" Seeing that she couldn't fall asleep, Prince Shen found a topic to chat about.
Ying Cheng interrupted, "She must've climbed up a tree to sleep."
"How do you know?" Even in the dim tent, Xiang Xiaohua's bright eyes could be seen.
"Although animals usually don't have high IQ, their perception of danger is much higher than that of humans." Ying Cheng laughed. "From this point of view, you definitely have the intuition of a wild beast."
Prince Shen stopped him in time, "Don't bully Xiaohua."
"Haha! I'm fine. " Xiang Xiaohua giggled and said, "That's true. If you don't sleep on a tree, you won't even know if a wild boar touches you in the middle of the night."
The two of them laughed and joked until Prince Shen ordered them to shut up and go to sleep. Only then did they quiet down.
The mornings in the mountains were particularly cold. Lord Shen was the first to get up. He cleaned himself up by the stream before he went back to call Ying Cheng and Xiao Hua.
"Ying Cheng …"
However, Xiao Hua got up as soon as Ying Cheng called her. No matter how Ying Cheng called her, she didn't respond.
"Xiao Hua, scoop a cup of water for me." Prince Shen passed the cup to Xiao Hua.
Xiang Xiaohua obediently scooped a cup full of water from the stream. Then, she saw Prince Shen pour the water on Ying Cheng's face.
"Ahhhh!" Ying Cheng screamed miserably as if he was having a cramp. He walked in circles in the tent.
Prince Shen clapped his hands calmly. "Are you awake now?"
"F * ck, I'm freezing to death!" Ying Cheng rubbed his face with all his might. "Are you going to murder me?"
Xiang Xiaohua handed him the towel. "Are you comfortable?"
"Comfortable my ass!"
While the two men were packing up the tent, Xiang Xiaohua strangely caught a fish from the stream. The three of them ate fish soup and pancakes before they continued on their journey. Along the way, Xiao Hua didn't have any special impressions. However, she was certain that she had been following the stream the entire time.
"How many days have you been walking?"
"I remember eating meat fifteen times." Xiao Hua counted with her fingers.
Ying Cheng and Prince Shen: "…"
Is this how you calculate dates? The corners of the two men's mouths twitched.
"Based on Xiao Hua's eating habits, fifteen times is definitely not fifteen days. She can't only eat one meal a day," Ying Cheng analyzed. "I think we have to divide it by two."
Prince Shen thought for a moment. "About seven or eight days."
"Then let's follow the plan and reach # # #'s second camp first."
The rest of the journey went smoothly. The main reason was that Ying Cheng and Prince Shen were experienced. In addition, Xiang Xiaohua was extremely strong. They encountered a tiger once, but Xiao Hua managed to chase it away.
"We'll reach the camp tomorrow." After setting up camp that night, Prince Shen and Ying Cheng wrote and drew on the map. As usual, Xiang Xiaohua ate on the side.
However, they were almost out of food. Xiang Xiaohua was gnawing on the last bag of chicken feet.
"After we reach the camp, it won't be that easy to continue walking."
At the very least, there were traces of human activity in the places they had walked through. However, it was likely that no one had entered the camp after that.
"The point is, where else can we go after we leave the camp?" Ying Cheng pointed at the map. "We reached the source of the stream two days ago. Now, we're heading in the direction of the camp. What happens after that?"
The two men were silent for a moment. Then, they turned to look at Xiang Xiaohua.
"I don't know!" Xiang Xiaohua said with half a paw in her mouth. "I remember that when I came out of the village, there was a forest. Then, I walked around." She blinked. "Oh right. Later, I felt hungry and saw a lynx."
"You ate it?" Ying Cheng asked.
Xiang Xiaohua nodded. "Yes!"
"And then?" Prince Shen handed her a cup of water. "When did you see that stream?"
"I don't remember …" Xiang Xiaohua was a little ashamed. Seeing Ying Cheng staring at her, she asked tentatively, "Before you died of thirst?"
Ying Cheng rolled his eyes. Prince Shen, on the other hand, said thoughtfully, "I estimate that it's not far from the camp."
"I think so too."
Xiang Xiaohua was a child who lived by instinct. When she was thirsty, she would naturally look for water. Then, she saw the stream. If it was too far away, she would probably have gone crazy or died of thirst.
"So, after we came out of the camp, we could only search using the carpet method."
After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to use the stupidest method.
There were no houses, so the adventurers could only live in their own tents.
"If it wasn't for the geothermal system, it would be no different from the wilderness." Ying Cheng set up the tent. "Let's go wash up later and see if there are any supplies we can replenish."
The camp was built against the mountain, and there was a natural hot spring. Although it was not big, there were usually only a dozen adventurers here at most, so it was enough for everyone. After Xiang Xiaohua finished eating, he left eagerly.
Prince Shen contacted his subordinates and asked Ying Cheng to see if there was anything to eat.
"Young master, a group of suspicious people appeared in the hotel a few days ago. They are related to the organization in Europe."
Prince Shen listened to the report and frowned. "They also went into the mountain?"
"Yes. A few of our brothers have been following them. Yesterday, they sent a message saying that when they left the camp, they took a lot of supplies. "
"Our men are still following them?"
"Yes!" The subordinate said. "I'm afraid that they went for young master, so a dozen of our brothers followed them."
Prince Shen said, "Inform Ying Wang that starting from tomorrow, if we don't hear from him in ten days, ask him to find a way to enter the mountain."
"Understood, young master!"
With the burden that the three of them carried, if they still couldn't find Xiaohua's village in ten days, they would have to return to the camp to replenish their supplies. If they didn't return … then there must be an accident.
When they were resting at night, Xiang Xiaohua panicked when Prince Shen said that they had been discovered.
"What if they find the entrance to the village before us?"
Ying Cheng wanted to scare her, but seeing her so scared, he couldn't help but touch Xiaohua's head. "Don't worry. They are slower than us. It will take at least five or six days to get here!"
"Then let's go now!" Xiang Xiaohua stood up.
Ying Cheng pulled her. "Don't worry. Have a good rest tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. It's too dangerous in the mountain at night."
"Ying Cheng is right. If we can't find the village, those people won't be able to find it either." Prince Shen pulled the tent. "Now go to sleep!"
Xiang Xiaohua was stuffed into the sleeping bag. Ying Cheng thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep, but when he turned around, he found that she had stopped moving. He leaned over and saw that she was already asleep.
"How careless …"
The careless Xiang Xiaohua got up early in the morning and urged Ying Cheng and Prince Shen to leave quickly. So the three of them left the camp when the sky was dark.
"It's up to fate!" Ying Cheng held the mineral water bottle in his hand. "We'll go wherever the lid is."
He threw the bottle into the air. The bottle fell to the ground and rolled a few times, then slowly stopped.
"East!"
Three days later.
"This is the last path." Ying Cheng's expression was not good. He sat on the ground. "We've already walked around the camp and found nothing."
They called it a path, but it was just what they said. There were no roads in this big forest. They made marks on different trees so that they could judge where they had been.
"Xiaohua, don't you remember anything?" Prince Shen's handsome face looked helpless. "You couldn't have walked that far. It should be in this area."
Xiang Xiaohua looked confused. "I don't know … There are trees everywhere. It looks the same everywhere …"
"I think we've overlooked something very important." Ying Cheng suddenly looked at the two of them seriously. "Xiaohua's village doesn't have an entrance at all! When I got into an accident in Bermuda, I fell into their village when I woke up … "
Prince Shen interrupted him. "No, there's an exit."
He stood up and looked at the sky covered by the dense forest. "But the exit won't stay there and wait for us to find it. It will appear randomly."
"Yes!" Ying Cheng wiped his face. "It was a coincidence that I was able to leave. And the place I left wasn't here at all."
He thought that his departure was a coincidence, so he insisted on finding the coordinates where Xiaohua left. But he forgot that maybe the place they left was just a random exit.
