DOOMSDAY ECSTASY CAVE (25)
25. MIST
In fact, Chu Youning knew this forest, and also knew that the greatest danger of the whole mountain was here, so she dug a hole for the angry Zhao Xianxian here. With Zhao Xianxian's disgust for her, even if she said that fart is smelly, she would refute her and also say that it was fragrant.
Like Zhao Xianxian said, everyone took this path because of her. If they encounter any sort of danger, they will definitely put the account on her head. Even if they don't say anything, they will definitely remember it in their hearts. That will be very detrimental to her. So Chu Youning must think of a way to divert the disaster to the east.
[ 祸水东引- Huòshuǐ dōng yǐn - disaster to the east. (m) to use certain means to prevent oneself from suffering losses, and to let others take the loss instead. read more ]
She said something like this at the entrance of the forest not because she really wanted to go back, but because, as long as she said anything, Zhao XianXian would cooperate and refute it. This way, her responsibility could be wiped off cleanly. By then, it was not that she hadn't reminded them, but that it was their own decision to go this way!
Zhao Xianxian sneered when she heard Chu Youning's words. She was too lazy to pay attention to her. She simply lifted a foot and stepped directly into the forest.
Lin Feng walked up to Chu Youning at the right time, "Don't worry, places that are dangerous for you may not be dangerous for us. Even if there is danger, I will protect you."
Is this supposed to be comforting? You might as well just say that I am weak! Chu Youning smiled embarrassedly, she finally shut her mouth and followed obediently. Anyway, no one can be better than her in terms of escaping ability.
The forest was no different from an ordinary forest. There was not even a beast in sight. If it was the usual, Zhao Xianxian would not have lowered her guard, but because Chu Youning made such a show before, in order to highlight her uselessness, Zhao Xianxian just walked casually.
"The scenery here is nice, the air is also good."
Chu Youning footsteps paused slightly, the smile on her face was slightly forced, and her body was even shrunken to the side, trying not to attract everyone's attention. But because Zhao Xianxian's snide remarks were secretly concentrated on her, she became the target of everyone's attention wherever she hid.
A layer of mist appeared in front of them not long after walking into the forest, the mist was dense and dark and they couldn't see anything ahead. This time even a fool would know of the danger inside, right? Chu Youning stopped in her tracks and trembled. "S-Sorry. I'm sorry." Chu Youning eyes reddened, she didn't want to be so useless, but she was scared and her legs went weak. Of course, this was also done for everyone to see.
Lei Yi looked back at Chu Youning, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Then he gestured at Lu Yiming to step forward.
Lu Yiming took two steps forward and closed his eyes, spreading his consciousness to probe the situation with his mental power. After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head. "My mental power can only be spread out up to two meters."
This time everyone was finally on guard, but what Zhao Xianxian said was right. They have come so far, can they go back now? After thinking about it, Lei Yi said in a deep voice, "I'll go to explore first."
Lei Yi has the highest level of supernatural ability in the team, and it was safest for him to go and investigate.
"Pay attention to safety" everyone said one after another.
Lei Yi stepped into the mist cautiously, but his figure disappeared into the mist within a few steps. After that, it was a long wait...
"The boss will not be in trouble, right?" It was not that the punk guy had a crow's beak, but the boss has exceeded the time limit for the investigation. The boss has always been on time, unless he was in danger, it was impossible to exceed the time limit.
[ 乌鸦嘴, Wūyā zuǐ. (lit.) crow's beak. (m) person who makes/made an inauspicious remark. ]
"I'll go in and take a look!" Lin Feng said anxiously.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Xianxian stopped Lin Feng, and her eyes fell on Chu Youning. "You go!"
"What!" Chu Youning and Lin Feng exclaimed at the same time.
Zhao Xianxian smiled coldly, "Isn't it said that the shapeshifters' ability to escape is the most powerful? Then it is more reasonable for you to go in and find someone."
Chu Youning was dumbfounded. She actually had no words to refute.
"But" Although Lin Feng admitted that this was true, but...
"Who was it that caused us to be here in this situation? Is there anything wrong with letting her go?" Zhao Xianxian said with dissatisfaction.
It was indeed not wrong in a strategic sense...
