After a while, Charming Blade and Charming Sword got up, put on their dry clothes, and went hunting.
I took Murong Xi and Shui Xuanyue's clothes and put them on before sitting back down. Damn it, his clothes were still wet.
Murong Xi walked over." Wear my clothes. Go and change your clothes. Return them to me when they're dry."”
I looked up at him. His fox-like eyes were still smiling at me. I smiled gratefully and found a dark place, but it was not far from them. If anything happened, they would hear it.
I took off the golden black patterned clothes that I wore from Shui Xuanyue's house and put on Murong Xi's red coat. Even after soaking in the sea, the fragrance of the silktree flowers was still there.
I walked back and hung the clothes on the rack. Murong Xi looked at me and suddenly broke into laughter."I didn't expect Ji 'er to look like a bride in this outfit.”
I glared at him, afraid that he would say something else. I then sneaked a glance at Shui Xuanyue, only to find that he was looking at me with his dark eyes. I panicked and quickly lowered my head to pretend to tidy my clothes. However, she was secretly wondering if his clothes also smelled of the snow lotus.
It wasn't my turn to be on night duty tonight, so I had a good sleep. After the storm, I was indeed very tired. When she woke up early, the sky was just beginning to brighten, but she found that they were already awake. Looking at the sky, it was only the middle of the night.
"You're awake?" Murong Xi looked at me.
" Hmm…" I stood up and shook off the dew on my body. Fortunately, the dew would dry up under the sun.
"I'll go find something to eat." Murong Xi left.
I hesitated whether I should follow him. What if he encountered any danger alone? But in the end, I gave up. I would only add to his burden. Although his martial arts might not be very strong, his escape skills must be very good.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" I asked Shui Xuanyue.”I'm worried that he'll fall ill from yesterday's drowning. Although they usually wouldn't, the ancient people were very spoiled. Their bodies didn't have any immunity to many viruses. He was also spoiled since he was born, so he was probably even more spoiled.
"No worries." He glanced at me and stopped talking.
I froze for a moment, not knowing what to say. I knew that he was still brooding over me and Murong Xi leaving the inn, but I couldn't explain it to him. He could only stop talking.
After a while, the sun rose. I was just afraid that Murong Xi would encounter some kind of danger, so he didn't come back. Then, I saw a red figure jump into my line of sight.
He walked over with a huge animal in his hand." I came to see Ji 'er. You can eat more for breakfast today." Then, he glanced at the Charming Blade and Charming Sword." This deer is heavy. I've been looking for such a big living thing for a long time."”
Only then did I see clearly that he was holding a deer in his hand. I've never seen such a big one before. It's just that it's raised in a zoo. Although it was dead, at least he had seen a wild one.
Because it was dead, I refused to touch it. Murong Xi cleaned up the deer with Zhao Si's help. Suddenly, he held the bloody deer skin and asked me,""How about a pair of boots?"
I was shocked and quickly waved my hand.”
He looked at the deerskin, smiled, and threw it aside.
The fragrance of the venison quickly spread to my nose. I smelled it. It was really fragrant. As expected, it was best to eat when you were hungry.
The venison was quickly roasted. Murong Xi cut off a large piece of meat and stabbed it in front of my eyes. He handed it to me."Try it. The food I roast is very delicious.”
I took the knife. Because the venison was roasted, oil seeped out, making it even more fragrant. She took a bite. It was tender. I ate until I was smiling.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring salt," Murong Xi said.”
" It's good that there's food." It's really delicious! I walked over to Shui Xuanyue's side," How can I have the energy to work if I'm not full?”
Someone hurriedly called out to Scarface and Charming Blade to eat together. Murong Xi pursed his lips and did not say anything else.
After eating and drinking to our hearts 'content, we headed towards the depths of the forest.
The forest was not as quiet as it was before a storm. There were birds chirping everywhere and occasionally wild beasts roaring.
I only care about playing, while the others have to take on the responsibility of protecting me. Everyone was extremely cautious. Three days passed like this. In the end, everyone was no longer willing to light a fire at night. They only ate some dry food they brought to satisfy their hunger.
"Hey, take a look at this!”I pointed at a pile of beautiful leaves and shouted in surprise.
Shui Xuanyue and the rest stopped in their tracks and waited for me to continue. Murong Xi took a step forward and grabbed the back of my collar to pull me away. I slapped his hand away."Put it down! I don't know what this grass is called, but it's used to cure the poison of the five-step snake! After walking for so long, I've only seen this one spot. At this time, the snake should be looking for food nearby. We'll take it away and it will be of help in the future.”
I plucked the herbs and placed them into a small bottle that I carried with me. The small bottle was filled with some water that could last the herbs for a few days.
"Let's go. If we don't leave now, the snake will come back.”I patted my pocket happily.
Murong Xi carefully looked around. He only walked behind me after I left the snake hole.
Under the scorching sun, his skin was so oily that he could cook.
Everyone found a small stream and sat by it. After taking a bite of the hard pancake, I couldn't eat it anymore. I've only been eating this these days.
Shui Xuanyue frowned but didn't say anything.
I was anxious to find the treasure and wanted to urge everyone to leave quickly, but I thought that we had already walked for an entire morning and should indeed rest. According to my considerations, the amount of treasure is very large, but the royal family will definitely not covet those treasures. Ordinary people might bleed for those treasures, but the royal family had seen the world. There should only be one treasure that the royal family would want.
These days, only a few people had come to the island. It seemed that the sea had become the first barrier.
We haven't met those people directly, so we don't know how strong they are. However, I can feel that although these people are not as strong as Murong Xishui and Xuan Yue, their strength cannot be underestimated. Besides, they brought a burden like me. However, we must get those treasures.
Suddenly, there was a patch of darkness amidst the brilliant silver light of the distant waterfall. I stood up, wanting to see more clearly.
"Ji 'er, what's wrong?" Murong Xi looked at me as I stood up, puzzled.
The dark outline in the silver light became clearer and clearer. That's because the sunlight didn't reflect back when it shone in. That must be the entrance to the treasure trove that we've been searching for many days!
I became excited and pointed at the darkness. Murong Xi and the others quickly understood. He immediately set off in that direction.
As they walked, everyone's expressions suddenly turned solemn.
Such an obvious mark, could it be? Moreover, Mu Yili and his men had disappeared for a day. Did they already find the treasure?
Sure enough, there was a dark cave beside the waterfall that opened up to us coldly. There were messy footprints on the ground. There were at least six of them.
"Let's go." Shui Xuanyue was the first to enter the cave.
Due to the sunlight, a long path could be seen in the darkness. From time to time, water from the waterfall would drip onto the ground.
The sound of our footsteps was particularly noisy here. Everyone couldn't help but lighten their footsteps and hold their breaths.
Time passed, and the cave returned to darkness. I became nervous and quickly reached out to grab the clothes of the person in front of me. The man's body stiffened for a moment before relaxing. He pulled my hand over and placed it on his sleeve. It should be Murong Xi.
I followed the person in front of me. Their eyesight is much better than mine. Although I can't see the road clearly, they can.
After walking for nearly two hours, my hands were already stiff from using too much strength. Just as I was about to let go, I heard the sound of fighting in front of me. His expression tightened again. Could it be Mu Yili?
Everyone carefully leaned over. After turning a few corners in front, a light shone through. The sounds of fighting became louder.
I saw that two of the people inside had already fallen. The remaining people were still fighting. Only then did I think of what to do after taking a look at Murong Xi. He realized that he was tugging at the sleeve of a black shirt. I looked up and saw Shui Xuanyue's black eyes staring at me. My heart skipped a beat. When had he ever looked at me like that? She hurriedly lowered her head and let go.
"Are you Mu Yili?" I asked him softly.
When he felt the person beside him nod, he stopped talking.
Murong Xi's voice reached her ears from behind,""When they kill each other, we'll reap the benefits.”
My heart tightened. They killed each other. I wonder if we will do the same after we obtain the treasure, and then others will reap the benefits.
The voices inside gradually became softer and Shui Xuanyue suddenly said,""There are still three people inside. Two of them are seriously injured, and one…is fine. They should be in cahoots. They're coming out."
"Hmph, when they come out, we'll kill them.”Scarface stood at the corner, waiting for his prey to appear. However, no one came out, nor did they hear the conversation inside. I looked at Shui Xuanyue curiously before turning to look at Scarface. Shui Xuanyue's face was as calm as usual. Scarface was already sweating.
"Friends outside, aren't you coming in?”A sharp and thin voice was heard.
We're done for. We've been exposed. However, I wasn't too nervous. After all, two of them were already heavily injured. A normal person definitely wouldn't be a match for us.
Scarface was the first to enter, and the others followed suit. They put me in the middle. I was secretly moved.
