The two people over there thought that Hao'er and the others behind them didn't hear what they were talking about, or they were not afraid that they would hear it. After all, in their eyes, they were not a threat at all.
After the two chatted for a while, the man bowed and said goodbye, leading his team in another direction. Here, the one-eyed man in front led them forward again, until the evening, they found a place in the forest to rest.
As night fell, the air became a little colder. These people did not light a fire, but instead jumped onto trees not far away to rest.
Hao'er and his companions were also carried up the tree. A man stared at them and said, "Don't move. If you fall from here, you will either die or lose your arms and legs."
Hao'er and Shiqi stayed beside Mu Chen and Mu Yue to prevent them from falling and being bitten by insects and ants.
"We still have some roasted meat left over from yesterday. Although it's a little hard, it's still edible." Seventeen took out some dried meat from his Qiankun bag and gave it to them.
The three of them took it and ate it while sitting on the tree, looking at the people on the surrounding trees. Those people seemed to be finding a place to rest casually, but they were guarding this place tightly.
Having lived in it for seven or eight days, they naturally knew that at night, it would be safer in the tree than down below. However, it was not without danger in the tree. After all, there were poisonous snakes occasionally coiled among the branches, ready to take their lives at any time.
Sitting on a high place, they could vaguely see flickering lights in the distance. Obviously, there were people resting there too.
As the night deepened, two men quietly went over there while relieving themselves, wanting to see who was over there. However, not long after they left, the one-eyed man in the tree and his men heard the clanging sound of swords clashing and screams coming from over there.
Almost instinctively, the one-eyed man who was only a few meters away from Hao'er and the others quickly jumped up, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and shouted in a stern voice: "Come with me to take a look!"
"Yes!" Those people responded and quickly followed. After a while, only Hao'er and Shiqi and a few others were left around.
"The two men from before should have been killed." Seventeen said, standing on the tree and looking at the flames in the distance that suddenly increased in number. The originally quiet forest became chaotic as the sound of fighting spread.
"Brother, shall we go and take a look?" Yue'er asked in a low voice, and looked into the distance like Seventeen. However, she was small and short, so she could not see anything. She could only hear the sound of swords clashing and loud shouts spreading through the forest.
"Let's go later to avoid being accidentally injured by the sword energy." Hao'er said, asking them to wait while listening carefully to the movement in front.
The sounds of fighting continued for quite a while, accompanied by screams from time to time. They couldn't see it from here, but hearing those screams made them tense up.
As time went by, the sound of fighting gradually faded. At this time, someone could be heard shouting, "Catch him! Don't let him escape!"
Here, Hao'er stood up suddenly and shouted in a low voice: "Get down!" As soon as the voice fell, he and Shiqi each hugged one person and jumped under the tree. Just as they landed, the smell of blood and a gust of wind blew over. At the same time, on the tree where they had just sat, the injured one-eyed man was staring at them gloomily.
