Zha Xi shivered and looked at Ah Ning without saying anything.
At this moment, Chu Chen walked up from the side and grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.
"Zha Xi, I heard that you're very filial?"
Instantly, Zha Xi's heart tightened.
In the next moment, Chu Chen patted his shoulder and continued.
"A filial child won't let his parents worry about him, let alone let his parents not see him.”
"Am I right?"
"Zha Xi!"
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he no longer cared about Zha Xi's reaction. He pulled the dumbfounded Wu Xie and walked to the side.
At the same time, the way everyone looked at Chu Chen changed.
He was threatening Zha Xi!
Moreover, he was threatening her with his life.
Although he wasn't very familiar with Chu Chen, after spending the past few days with him, Chu Chen didn't seem like such a heartless person.
Then…
All of a sudden, everyone's gaze fell on Ah Ning.
Then, he looked at Chu Chen.
They understood.
As expected, no matter how noisy they looked on the outside, they were still family.
As soon as something happened, Chu Chen would immediately come out and play the bad guy.
At this moment, Ah Ning's mind was also filled with thoughts. She did not understand why Chu Chen was helping her.
Could it really be because of kinship?
She didn't know and didn't want to know.
"Zha Xi, what's your decision?”
"If you continue walking, we will naturally protect your safety.”
She looked at Zha Xi and said lightly.
What could Zha Xi do now? Chu Chen had clearly told him that if he left, he would live. If he didn't leave, he would die.
Did he have a choice?
"I can leave, but I have a request.”He stared at Ah Ning with eyes that flashed, appearing extremely nervous.
"Oh, tell me." Ah Ning didn't agree immediately but asked.
"I want to place a pile of rocks at every fork. If we encounter them, it means that we're running in circles.”
Although he was afraid, Zha Xi still spoke righteously, as if he was thinking for everyone.
Although Ah Ning felt strange, he did not probe further.
"Alright, I promise you."
Finally, with Ah Ning's nod, the farce was over, and everyone began their journey again.
Along the way, Wu Xie had been secretly sizing up Chu Chen. Every few steps, he would stop, but after a few seconds, he would continue walking.
It was as if he had something to ask but did not dare to ask.
"Are you asking why I threatened Zha Xi?”Chu Chen looked at Wu Xie's hesitant expression and said with a smile.
Wu Xie raised his head and looked at Chu Chen." You don't have to say it.”
"Sigh, there's something wrong with that Zha Xi." Chu Chen patted Wu Xie's shoulder and said earnestly.
"What?" Wu Xie did not react in time.
Chu Chen continued to explain," There was a problem from the very beginning. I'm afraid everyone in the camp knew about it except for you.”
"Do you still remember the person you dug out?”
If Chu Chen didn't order it, Wu Xie probably wouldn't even think about it.
But now, he suddenly understood.
" That's right, 20 kilometers. It's impossible to walk over, let alone carry the sandstorm…"
"You mean, he's hiding something from us?”
"You're not too stupid. You're just too kind to not think too much about it.”Chu Chen didn't answer, but said.
However, Wu Xie already knew the answer.
However, this was not the end. Chu Chen continued," Do you know why Zha Xi wanted to pile rocks?”
" This…I really don't know." Wu Xie shook his head honestly.
Chu Chen smiled lightly." Those stones are not randomly placed. Every time you place a few pieces, there is a pattern to where they are placed.”
"In the eyes of those who know the way, it can indeed lead the way, but in the eyes of those who don't know the way, it's not the right way!”
Wu Xie immediately recalled what had happened. In the end, he realized that those stones seemed to have been placed differently.
In an instant, cold sweat covered his entire body.
He also came to a realization.
"I understand." He looked at Chu Chen and said in a deep voice.
"It's good that you understand. Let's continue walking!”
Chu Chen smiled casually and strode forward.
………
They didn't encounter any danger along the way, but the walkie-talkie suddenly sounded halfway, which made the entire team feel a little more confident.
The walkie-talkie was still ringing, which meant that they had not gone the wrong way. The missing Old Gao and the others should be nearby.
Understanding this, everyone's mood rose once again.
Just like that, after walking for a few minutes, everyone suddenly stopped.
He looked up and saw a wooden boat that was more than ten meters tall.
From the surface, the entire hull was made of wood and was about ten meters tall. However, the length was unknown.
This was because this ancient ship had directly entered the mountain.
Only the front half of the ship could be seen. The back half was inside the mountain.
"My goodness, this ship is quite old!”A foreigner asked in surprise.
"That's right. It has at least a thousand years of history. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a mountain range here.”Wu Xie looked at the ancient ship and analyzed.
Chu Chen, on the other hand, did not show the slightest surprise. He looked at the huge ship, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
