Chapter 62

something good later.""What he said was vague and mysterious."There's no way around it, since the one leading the way said to take a break, we can only rest. I might as well take a look while we're at..."No, I didn't see.

"

”

"It was wearing a very large, wide-brimmed hat and some clothes it had apparently taken from somewhere else. It was covered up completely, so nothing could be seen."

I carefully recalled the scene from last night, making sure I hadn't missed anything.

Then, the three of us huddled together and came up with a secret plan.

At first, I was very scared. I told Hong Jie that we should leave quickly and not bother with what this thing was.

Hong Jie shook her head and said, "There are many mysteries in this place. My intuition tells me we shouldn't just leave. We should follow this lead."

During the day, all of us tried our best not to look around. We kept our heads down when we walked and talked, and didn't dare to eat anything random. We still ate fruits to stave off hunger.

As night fell, as usual, we built a fire. No one was on watch duty. The three of us lay on the ground around the fire, our eyes closed.

However, this time is different from last night. We didn't sleep at all.

They are all pretending to be asleep.

Hong Jie held a small dagger in her hand. She kept her palm facing down, concealing it with her sleeve.

In my hand, and in Jian Sheng's hand too, was a short, sharpened piece of wood. We held it under our arms, so from the outside you couldn't tell what we were hiding. All they could see was us three sleeping.

Time passed by every second. In the latter half of the night, because no more firewood was added, the fire had already become very small.

"Tap," something threw a small clod of earth our way, testing us.

We pretended to sleep, with our eyes closed, no one moved.

I clutched the wooden stick hidden under my arm, terrified out of my mind,

After a few minutes.

"Patta," another small clod of earth was thrown over.

We were still lying there asleep, none of us moving.

Afterward, about an hour passed, when very faint footsteps could be heard.

I squinted, lying on the ground, carefully peeking.

Only to see, the little dwarf who appeared last night, holding a small stone in his hand, was walking step by step, twisting left and right towards the bonfire.

This thing walks in a very strange way, twisting and turning, just like an old woman.

He walked very slowly and carefully, inching closer to us.

Fearing that it would be discovered, I quickly closed my eyes and refused to look.

Footsteps are getting closer.

I feel like this thing has already come close to me.

"Get to it!"

Chen Jian-sheng sprung up from the ground fiercely, he roared, took out a sharpened wooden stick, and thrust it upward!

Hong Jie also suddenly stood up, aiming at the little dwarf, and directly stabbed him with a dagger.

"Squeak!" The thing made a screeching noise like a rat and turned its head to run away.

We set a meticulous ambush all night, waiting for this very moment. There's no way he can escape.

I was the closest, and I grabbed hold of this thing's leg with all my might, not letting go.

"Hurry! Hurry! I've got it!" I shouted frantically.

This thing got my leg, and I immediately got angry. It jumped up and down frantically, with incredible force, and I almost lost my grip.

"Poof," Hong Jie's dagger plunged into the dwarf's belly, the blade going in up to the hilt.

This thing has lost a lot of blood, the blood is red-black.

This thing hurts, he dodged Chen Jian Sheng's attack by dashing around, I feel like my wrist is going to dislocate.

Soon, less than a minute.

Thump.

The dwarf lay on the ground, a red dagger protruding from his belly, twitching with every spasm. Blood pooled around him.

Upon seeing this, the three of us exchanged pale glances.

We were making eye contact, meaning something like...

Who took the hat off this thing

Let's see if it's dead.ear the oasis. We should at least replenish our water supply."Let's move ahead, the air here is humid and the poplar trees grow so well, there must be water.Azah, you go look for water. I and Xiaoxuan...
