Chapter 2280 - 651: Passion and Conspiracy (Part 4)
"Boss, if they are also here for the deed of land transfer, then we stand no chance against them."
The face of the old man with white hair flickered, after a moment of contemplation, he stepped forward to follow the pace of An Yiqing and the others, "Let’s follow them first, and take it one step at a time."
The two groups moved forward, one behind the other, without interfering with each other, for several hours until An Yiqing’s watch indicated eleven o’clock at night when they finally stopped.
"Let’s camp here for tonight." She looked around; the soil was dry, and there weren’t many animal carcasses or bones. She turned on her Clairvoyant Eye, scanning the area, finding no large beasts within a thousand meters, "Rest here, have dinner."
The Thirteen Blood Generals immediately started dividing tasks, with some preparing food and others setting up the large tent. They had too many people, so the large tent Arhan brought was simply not enough. To ensure An Yiqing has a stable sleeping environment, the Thirteen Blood Generals set up three tents: one for An Yiqing to sleep in, and the other two for the men to squeeze into.
At this time, An Zhifeng took out outdoor barbecue equipment, and to avoid attracting beasts with open flames, they had thoughtfully brought fully charged portable cookers. The lion meat they acquired earlier was put on the stove, and An Zhifeng skillfully sprinkled some seasoning. Soon, the fragrant aroma of cooked meat filled the air.
In the distance, the old man and the few youths sat pitiably on the ground, eating dry, compressed biscuits they had brought with them. The savory smell of the roasted meat wafted into their nostrils, causing their stomachs to protest loudly, as the biscuits in their mouths felt like stones, tasting extremely unpleasant.
"Grandpa, I’m hungry..." The young girl eyed An Yiqing’s group, drooling.
The old man took a bite of biscuit and sighed, "Ah Da, go ask if they can spare us some."
The man named Ah Da got up and walked over, conversed with An Yiqing and the group for a while, then returned empty-handed.
"How did it go? They disagreed?" the old man asked.
"They agreed, but there are conditions," Ah Da frowned, "You can eat, but you need to pay. Ten thousand per person."
"What?! Ten thousand per person?!" The girl’s voice sharpened, "Are they crazy for money?! Ten thousand per person?!"
The girl’s voice attracted the attention of An Yiqing and the others. She glared at the girl who was staring angrily at her, raised her eyebrows with a smile, and picked up a piece of fragrant roasted meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Mm, delicious!
The girl glared fiercely at An Yiqing, withdrew her gaze, but did not notice her eyes brimming with coldness.
In this Black Forest, survival of the fittest rules; strength is the hard truth. Having no skills means one can’t blame others for being merciless. Moreover, when dealing with enemies fighting for the deed of land transfer, An Yiqing never showed mercy.
Want to eat roast meat? Fine, pay up. The forest is fraught with danger, and they have no obligation to protect others, feed others, only to be harmed by them later.
It was unknown how the old man and the others discussed, but the bodyguard named Ah Da handed a check to An Yiqing. Seeing the amount on the check, An Yiqing’s eyes curved into a smile, immediately instructing An Zhifeng to deliver the roasted meat to them.
"If you don’t have enough, there’s more. Take as much as you want. Feel free to come back!" An Yiqing smiled like a little fox.
Ah Da stumbled with the bowl of roasted meat, ten thousand for a bowl of roast meat, the most expensive meal he’s ever had in his life.
After the meal, An Zhifeng and the group tidied up the dishes casually, then crawled into the tents to sleep. An Yiqing set up a watch list: each night four people take turns, two for the first half, and two for the second half.
Tonight, it’s An Yiqing and An Zhifeng, Long Zixuan, and An Zhiyu.
"You two go sleep first, I’ll call you when the time comes." An Yiqing said to Long Zixuan and An Zhiyu.
Long Zixuan nodded, crawled into the tent. An Yiqing and An Zhifeng sat on small stools outside the tent, eyes bright, always on alert for any potential situation.
In the dead of night, it was An Yiqing’s first night in the Black Forest. She looked up at the night sky obscured by branches and leaves, and her thoughts began to drift.
How is Ah Lin’s seclusion going, with the Tribulation Pill and Gu Family Ancestor there, even if faced with the thunder tribulation, there shouldn’t be any major issues, right?
The Black Forest is dangerous, but also very peaceful. Normally, countless mundane affairs kept An Yiqing busy, leaving her no time to think calmly. But tonight, she calmed down, reflecting on the past, present, and future.
