Chapter 117: First Night in the Wild
Chapter 117: First Night in the Wild
"Cuckoo cuckoo..."
The sky gradually darkened and birds began to sing around.
Under the big tree, three figures were sitting cross-legged in a triangle shape.
Judging from the distance between them while meditating, it seemed that the three of them were on guard against each other.
But what actually happened is unknown.
"I don't know what your names are?"
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, and Yan Shaodong spoke up to break the deadlock.
Seeing that Lu Feipeng was a little difficult to talk to, Yan Shaodong started chatting with Liu Yuansi.
However, Lu Feipeng, who was meditating, heard Yan Shaodong's questions.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at Yan Shaodong with a playful expression.
He wanted to see what expression Yan Shaodong would have when he heard Liu Yuansi's name.
Sure enough, Liu Yuansi also raised his head and looked at Yan Shaodong with a smile.
Then he pointed at Lu Feipeng and introduced him:
"This is Lu Feipeng, the deputy captain of our Sanjia Village patrol team."
"Captain Lu, nice to meet you."
When Yan Shaodong learned Lu Feipeng's name, he hurriedly bowed and greeted Lu Feipeng.
As the saying goes: Don't hit someone with a smiling face.
No matter how reluctant he was, Lu Feipeng had no choice but to bow to Yan Shaodong perfunctorily.
"Nice to meet you."
"Eh? That's wrong!"
Yan Shaodong looked very surprised, and didn't know who to ask. He only heard him say:
"The last time I went to Sanjia Village, I didn't seem to hear that any of your deputy captains had the last name Lu?"
“Brother Yan may not know this, but Captain Lu is the most talented person in the history of our Sanjia Village.
Captain Lu has been in our patrol team for just 20 days, and he has already gone from being an ordinary mortal to the sixth level of the Spiritual Induction Realm..."
"cough cough"
Before Liu Yuansi could finish his words, Lu Feipeng, who was meditating nearby, looked at Liu Yuansi and coughed twice, indicating that Liu Yuansi had said too much.
Lu Feipeng narrowed his eyes slightly. How could he not know when Liu Yuansi's mouth had become so big?
How come you can reveal your secrets to any stranger you meet?
His intuition told him that something must be wrong.
Well, if there is any problem, we will see later.
"what!"
When Yan Shaodong heard that this person had such talent, he stood up from the ground in an instant.
He looked at Lu Feipeng with an expression of disbelief. In his eyes, no matter how popular a genius was, he would pale in comparison to Lu Feipeng.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, he is just teasing you."
Lu Feipeng quickly explained a few words on his own behalf.
"Oh, is that so?"
Although Yan Shaodong said this, the suspicion in his eyes betrayed the uneasiness in his heart at the moment.
After a long time, there was still no answer from Lu Feipeng, which made Yan Shaodong quite annoyed.
He glanced at Lu Feipeng indifferently and thought to himself:
"You're just pretending to be nice to me. I'll make you cry later, humph!"
"I don't know what your name is, friend?"
Seeing that Lu Feipeng didn't pay attention to his meaning, Yan Shaodong stopped making trouble for himself and turned his gaze to Liu Yuansi standing beside him.
In fact, he had known Liu Yuansi for a long time. This was an extraordinary period, so extraordinary things had to be done. So he pretended to be meeting Liu Yuansi for the first time.
Liu Yuansi also felt a little annoyed. The two of them clearly knew each other, but they still acted as if they were strangers.
However, this was not the time to fall out with Lu Feipeng, so he and Yan Shaodong had to continue pretending on the surface.
"Cough cough!"
He could only cough twice, and then spoke to Yan Shaodong word by word:
"Liu Yuansi."
"puff……"
Yan Shaodong just took out the water bag from the backpack and gulped the water into his mouth.
When he heard Liu Yuansi say his name, the water in his mouth immediately sprayed out.
Yan Shaodong looked at Liu Yuansi with a very strange expression, muttering:
"Wait, you just said you are Captain Liu Yuansi?"
To be honest, Yan Shaodong really didn't know how to proceed so that Lu Feipeng wouldn't discover the flaw.
He had no choice but to imitate the expressions of others spraying water, otherwise he really didn't know how to act next.
In his heart, he cursed Liu Yuansi half to death.
You said that you launched a sneak attack early on, and I was assisting from the side. With the combined efforts of the two of us, shouldn't we have taken down this guy long ago?
It would be fine if you didn't do it, but you have to do this. You are really bored.
If Yan Shaodong had not heard from them before about Lu Feipeng's killing of the seven-star insect with one knife, he would not have bothered to continue acting here with Liu Yuansi.
According to his temperament, he had already grabbed the big sword and slashed at Lu Feipeng the moment he saw Lu Feipeng.
You must be kidding. Yan Shaodong, who has the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Spirit Induction Realm, is actually timid when facing a little kid at the sixth level of the Spirit Induction Realm.
If this were to be made public, wouldn't he, the future head of Ningtai Township of this prestigious organization, be laughed at by others?
Thinking of this, Yan Shaodong looked at Liu Yuansi, and his eyes became extremely unfriendly.
"Ha ha……"
As if he had sensed the unfriendly look from Yan Shaodong, Liu Yuansi could only let out two dry laughs before continuing:
"Yes, that's right. If the Captain Liu Yuansi you mentioned is from my Sanjia Village, then the Liu Yuansi you are talking about is me."
Liu Yuansi felt so miserable in his heart. The look in Yan Shaodong's eyes just now almost scared him to death. He was really scared.
As a member of the organization, he was very aware of the ruthlessness of the organization.
He also wanted to deal with Lu Feipeng as soon as possible and finish the matter quickly, but his strength did not allow it.
To be honest, at this moment Liu Yuansi actually felt an urge of regret in his heart.
A terrible thought suddenly arose in his mind, judging from the power of Lu Feipeng who killed the Seven-Star Insect at the peak of the Spirit Induction Realm with one sword.
Whether the two of them can capture Lu Feipeng safely is still an unknown at the moment.
Now he had no choice but to wait until late at night, when Lu Feipeng was physically and mentally exhausted and had let down his guard, and then he would attack him from the side and give him a fatal blow.
Damn it, if he had known this would happen, he would have sent a message to ask them to send more people.
This way he wouldn't have ended up in such a mess. Now he's stuck in the middle of a dilemma, and he feels like he's on a tiger's back and can't get off.
“Haha, haha…”
Yan Shaodong smiled awkwardly, then he took out a jar of wine from his backpack and said to Liu Yuansi and the others:
"I have nothing to do. I have a jar of good wine here. Would you two like to have a drink together?"
Liu Yuansi glanced at Lu Feipeng and saw that Lu Feipeng was still sitting there indifferently.
He didn't pay any attention to Yan Shaodong's intention, so Liu Yuansi could only say to Yan Shaodong awkwardly:
"No, Brother Yan, I have something important to attend to. Besides, this wilderness is not peaceful at night, so let's forget it."
"Well, Captain Liu is right. The wilderness is dangerous. If that's the case, I won't drink anymore."
Yan Shaodong seemed to agree with Liu Yuansi's words, so he put away the wine jar.
The atmosphere between the three of them then fell into a stalemate again.
"Bang bang..."
After a long time, an unusual voice sounded among the three people.
After hearing the noise, Yan Shaodong and Liu Yuansi hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out that the previous crunching sound was the sound of Lu Feipeng chewing dry food.
It was not until this moment that Yan Shaodong and Liu Yuansi realized that they were so nervous that they forgot to have dinner.
"Gululu..."
Liu Yuansi touched his belly which was making a growling sound.
I looked up at the sky and realized that it was already past half past the hour of Xu. No wonder my stomach was making protesting sounds.
The weather was already a bit chilly. After finishing his dry food, Liu Yuansi stood up and stretched his body before suggesting to Lu Feipeng:
"Captain Lu, let's divide the work. I often work night shifts, so you guard the first half of the night, and I'll guard the second half. How about that?"
On the other side, Yan Shaodong finished his dry food, got a pile of dry firewood from somewhere, and started a fire nearby.
This look immediately made Lu Feipeng frown. He looked at Liu Yuansi, and his eyes seemed to be asking Liu Yuansi why he was making a fire.
Liu Yuansi explained:
“The wilderness is very dangerous at night, and it’s easy to run into some monsters and demons.
However, some demons are afraid of fire, so building a fire can avoid unnecessary trouble and also provide us with lighting at night."
So that's what was going on. After understanding it, Lu Feipeng said no more.
Since the two of them had agreed that Lu Feipeng would be on guard in the first half of the night, he stood up from his meditation.
Since entering the wilderness, he has not sheathed the black iron knife in his hand. He has been holding it in his hand all the time, ready to attack at any time.
"Thank you for your hard work, captains. If you encounter any danger while on night watch, please remember to warn Yan."
Yan Shaodong bowed to Lu Feipeng and Liu Yuansi.
Liu Yuansi opened his eyes and bowed to Yan Shaodong:
"Brother Yan, don't worry. If anything unexpected happens, I will let you know."
……
The wilderness was very quiet under the cover of night, so quiet that one could hear the sound of the wind several feet away.
"Crackling..."
In the area within a radius of ten feet, the only sound was the sound of burning firewood.
It was Lu Feipeng's first time to spend the night in the wilderness. He was very cautious and would look into the distance from time to time.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the first half of the night and time soon came to the fifth quarter of the evening.
"Captain Liu, wake up, Captain Liu"
Lu Feipeng called out to Liu Yuansi twice in a low voice.
Liu Yuansi opened his eyes from meditation, and the first thing he looked up into the sky.
"Captain Lu, have you come to keep watch for me?"
Lu Feipeng nodded and said:
"Yes, Captain Liu, it's your turn."
Although the noise here was small, it woke up Yan Shaodong who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Yan Shaodong looked up at Liu Yuansi and smiled at him:
"I'll trouble you, Captain Liu. If anything unexpected happens, I hope Captain Liu can remind Yan."
Liu Yuansi waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"Okay, okay, Brother Yan, just continue to rest."
