“Then… when you returned from hunting that first day, I think… you didn’t dispose of these things?” Liu Kai asked tentatively.

Ji Fengyan answered crisply: “Um.”

This “um” completely revealed the reason behind their dreadful memory of that day.

They were so stunned; It was as if they had been struck by the Five-Blow-Thunderstruck.

This meant that…

It was not that their luck had improved these days, rather… on the first day, Ji Fengyan had not disposed of these things at all, and this had led to them… being pursued by wild beasts through half the forest?!!

Further, looking at Ji Fengyan’s practiced movements, it was evident that she knew about all these.

Upon further thought, on the first day, Ji Fengyan climbed up a tree to eat and had not been attacked by wild beasts at all…

They made a realization.

However…

As they looked at the cooked meat, they could only suppress the recently discovered truth in their hearts and pretend ignorance.

They ate the cooked meat wit shattered hearts. When they looked at the calm and composed Ji Fengyan, they felt like crying…

After they had eaten, they all rested for a while before continuing.

Although they had discovered Ji Fengyan’s malice, the three of them did not dare to say a word.

After all…

Based on their survival skills, the following days would be unpleasant without Ji Fengyan.

The three of them looked extremely gloomy as they bemoaned their fate.

Just as the three of them were secretly vowing not to make Ji Fengyan unhappy in the coming days, they suddenly heard a strange noise coming from a point not too far in front of them.

The three of them exchanged a look with Ji Fengyan and immediately decided to take a look!

The strange noise came from a place in the heart of the forest.

A small lake was hidden behind a densely wooded patch and a fierce battle was taking place near it.

Four youths wearing white armbands were fighting fiercely with four youths with black armbands. The two teams were engaged in battle by the lakeside.

Ji Fengyan, Liu Kai, and the others crawled through the underbrush by the lake and watched the fight from a short distance away.

“Are they… fighting?” Liu Kai unblinkingly looked at the eight youths fighting by the lake.

Ji Fengyan glanced at the scene by the lake and said, “It looks like they were looking for a source of water when they met each other. After all, it is difficult to encounter each other in such a large forest.”

The forest covered a large area and except for the blue team which they met that first night; They had not seen a shadow of anyone else for the past few days.

“What should we do now? Should we go around…” A youth from the red team suggested.

Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Kai smacked the back of his head.

“Are you stupid? Isn’t our goal in entering the forest to seize the armbands? If we run the moment we meet anyone, we won’t accomplish anything!”

The youth rubbed the back of his head. Feeling aggrieved, he said, “I know, but… there are two teams there. If we approach now, they might unite against us.”

Liu Kai thought that this was possible. He almost subconsciously stopped and looked at Ji Fengyan.

“Fengyan, what do you think we should do now?”

Ji Fengyan rested her chin on her hand and leisurely watched the fierce battle by the lake. She unhurriedly said, “Watch and wait.”
