Chapter 173 The Poor Little Dark World 4
Chapter 173 The Poor Little Dark World 4
There are still three months before the Xuanji Academy exam. Wei Mingyu does not plan to let Los stay at home to practice. She has other ideas.
The south gate of Qingyun City.
Two young men, one tall and one short, carrying black backpacks, were walking out of the city.
"Mingyu, it seems like someone is following us?"
Ross approached the girl in the baseball cap and whispered.
At first he thought he was just too nervous, but after they changed direction and walked a few hundred meters, the other party was still following behind them, and his eyes would occasionally fall on him.
Wei Mingyu, who had keen senses, of course also noticed the people behind her. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: There is indeed something wrong with Los.
There were not just those few people. When they were in Baiyun Community, Wei Mingyu discovered that there was no one else on the floor where Los lived except him. The floor was completely empty.
Although there were signs that people had lived upstairs and downstairs, as long as Los was not in the community, those people would follow him away, more like protection than surveillance.
Wei Mingyu was thinking about something, but her expression did not change. She curled her lips slightly and comforted him, "It's okay, we don't have to worry about them."
Ross hummed, then walked closely beside her.
It is now the hottest time of the summer. The red sun is hanging high in the sky, making people feel lazy.
After Los and his companions walked along a cleared official road, they saw that the trees on both sides of the road gradually grew lush, and they could see some tents here and there.
Although it is dangerous outside the city, it is not deserted. Many warriors in the city choose to go out of the city to hunt alien species in order to make money. When they cannot get back to the city at night, they will gather together and then find a suitable place in the wild to rest.
This is where temporary camps come from.
There is a small swamp near the south gate, where live a large number of poisonous insects, snakes, ants and other species. They are not of high level, and an ordinary warrior with a knife can kill a large number of them. They are very popular among low-level warriors.
Therefore, there is a temporary camp near the swamp, where hundreds of people live all year round.
The training ground that Wei Mingyu chose for Los was the swamp.
……
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.
Los went from being flustered at the beginning to being able to handle things with ease now. The hardships he went through in the process cannot be described in one sentence.
The people who were monitoring them were replaced one after another.
"Mingyu, let's go back."
After killing the last two-headed poisonous scorpion, Los shook his wrist gently to shake off the blood on the long sword, then put away the sword and slowly walked towards the girl under the tree.
A few rays of light shone through the treetops, falling right on the girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes, as if they were sprinkled with a layer of fine gold powder, which was incredibly beautiful.
Los looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, paused, and then quickened his pace.
The girl squatting under the tree didn't even raise her head. She was using a stick to move the grass and said lazily, "Wait a minute."
"Mingyu, what are you looking at..."
As Los got closer, he finally discovered that there was a small snow-white snake as thick as a chopstick coiled under the tree, as flawless and exquisite as a jade carving.
"This snake is poisonous, so let's not play with it." Los said in a flat tone. He suddenly reached out and picked up the white snake, then threw it away casually. He did it so fast that Wei Mingyu couldn't react.
"Oh, wait!"
She frowned, her tone somewhat displeased.
Los' eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a tiny light flickering in his clear eyes. "Don't be angry, I will help you catch it back."
After saying this, he turned around and rushed into the bushes to look for the white snake.
Wei Mingyu was a little confused. She stood up, grabbed the boy's wrist, pulled him in front of her, looked at him carefully several times, and warned him: "Don't touch it with your hands next time. What if it's poisonous?"
All the alien species near the swamp are poisonous. She has really broadened her horizons in the past two months.
"I just hope you're not mad at me." The young man lowered his head, looking as aggrieved as a large dog, his voice choked with sobs.
Wei Mingyu held her forehead helplessly. She didn't know why, but recently whenever she spoke in a slightly harsher tone, the boy would feel so aggrieved that his eyes would turn red, as if she was bullying him.
However, what else can you do if you have to love your own person?
Wei Mingyu raised his hand and pinched the boy's cheek, and softened his voice: "I don't mean to blame you, that snake might be poisonous, I was just worried that you would get hurt."
Los stammered, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth. In the end, he could only respond softly. He reached out and hugged Wei Mingyu, resting his head on her neck.
Their skins were in close contact, and Los could clearly feel the other's unique scent, which was completely different from his own.
He felt all of this quietly, and the depression and sadness that had been lingering in his chest gradually dissipated.
Finally, Los broke the silence. He gently opened his lips and spoke the words that had been brewing in his heart for a long time. His voice was a little hoarse, and every word was filled with cautious emotions.
"I'm afraid you'll be mad at me and don't want me anymore."
Wei Mingyu found it funny that the boy's tone was like a child having a quarrel with his friends. She patted his arm and comforted him, "How could that be? We will always be together."
"Ok!"
After Los calmed down and let her go, Wei Mingyu started to talk about business.
“It seems like there are fewer and fewer people in the makeshift camp.”
The first two times I went back, there were nearly a hundred people in the camp, but the most recent time, there were only thirty-four people left.
She asked a few familiar people and found that they didn't know the reason either.
Ross's eyes flickered slightly, and he added: "The number of people monitoring us is also decreasing. Judging from the time when this happened, it was the same time when the camp was drastically reduced in number."
Wei Mingyu: "Let's go to the camp again in a couple of days."
"it is good."
Los had no objection.
……
The sound of insects chirped in the woods and the sky gradually darkened.
The temporary camp five kilometers away from the swamp began to become lively. Warriors who had returned from hunting alien species started to make fires and cook, preparing to reward themselves.
At this moment, a silver-gray van drove over from a distance and stopped at the door.
A group of young people got off the car with smiles on their faces and walked towards the camp.
"This is the temporary camp near the swamp. Everyone, pack up your things and rest here tonight. We will go kill the aliens tomorrow."
The young man in the lead was sturdy, with a mountain axe on his waist, and he looked imposing.
The people behind him were also in good shape and looked quite strong.
One of the men with slightly longer hair looked around the makeshift camp warily, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention to them and everyone was doing their own thing.
"Boss, there are so many people in the temporary camp today, maybe three or four hundred."
The leading young man casually replied, "Same, there are usually this many people."
"Oh, I know."
I don’t know if they were lucky, but the area in the middle of the camp was empty, so they simply went over and occupied it and started setting up their tents.
After a long time of struggling, the group finally packed up and after eating, they left two people to keep watch and then fell into a deep sleep.
