"Yes! I got it!"
Qian Xinxin nodded, and then followed Yang Kun and Qi Ming into the mountains.
Yang Kun looked at Qian Xinxin who was frowning all the time, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? Haven't you figured out a solution for the store? Why are you still frowning?"
Qian Xinxin looked at Yang Kun and Qi Ming, who were concerned, smiled slightly, and then said what he was thinking: "Although I have thought of a solution, I still feel that this matter is a bit strange. There have never been any monsters here before, but now there are monsters eating people, which makes those who make a living by collecting herbs panic. I always feel that it is too coincidental. At this time, unknown monsters suddenly appear to eat people. Could it be the work of those bad guys?"
Although Yang Kun also felt that it was a coincidence, those people would not be so idle as to release the monsters to eat people, right? And it seemed that there was no benefit in doing so.
"It should be just a coincidence. After all, what good will this do for those bad guys?"
"That's true. They shouldn't be so idle as to threaten the herbal farmers who are picking herbs. I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Qian Xinxin smiled slightly, and continued to walk towards the mountains with Yang Kun and Qi Ming.
Yang Kun walked in front and led the way. After all, his cultivation was the highest among them. If there was any danger ahead, Yang Kun would be able to react in time.
Yang Kun, Qian Xinxin and Qi Ming walked towards the first cliff where medicinal herbs like to grow, but suddenly they found a lot of messy footprints on the way.
Yang Kun raised his hand to signal to stop, then squatted down and carefully observed the messy footprints on the ground. He found that they were like horse hoof footprints. He reached out and touched them, and found that they were still moist and hot, obviously they had just passed by not long ago.
Yang Kun shook his head at Qian Xinxin and Qi Ming, then made a gesture to alert Qian Xinxin and Qi Ming.
Qian Xinxin and Qi Ming both nodded, then looked around nervously and alertly.
Yang Kun took Qian Xinxin and Qi Ming to a nearby place and hid them. Not long after, they saw three or four half-human, half-horse monsters with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human walking towards them.
"Boss, this is really weird. Why did you suddenly ask us to come to this deep mountain to guard it? Is there any treasure in this deep mountain?"
One of the centaurs with light gray hair asked the other centaurs curiously.
The other horse-faced horses all shook their heads, except for one whose hair was darker than the others, who frowned and scolded the light grey horse-faced horse.
"What the boss said must have his reasons. We just need to obey him. Why should we care so much?"
The light grey centaur was not convinced: "Aren't you curious about why the boss brought us from the west to the east to guard here?"
"Shut up!"
The dark-colored centaur shouted loudly, then glared at the light-gray centaur and left first.
The light grey centaur muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, then followed the team in the direction the dark centaur had left.
Yang Kun, Qian Xinxin and Qi Ming remained where they were, fearing that the human-faced horses would suddenly come back and discover them.
Sure enough, not long after the Centaur left, the dark-colored Centaur returned with the light gray Centaur.
