Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Walked Too Long, Hungry_1

Even if it’s not enough, with her here, we can simply bring the food from Yejun. In any case, even if we stay on White Blind Mountain for a year, there won’t be any problems.

"However, I don’t understand. Shuyue is just a small country. How can Emperor Shuyue dare to compete with large nations like Liang Kingdom and Wei State to come to White Blind Mountain?" she asked.

If the emperors of the great nations knew that a small country like Shuyue dared to compete with them for treasures, they could easily send troops to annihilate Shuyue Kingdom.

"It’s not just Shuyue Kingdom. The other small nations have also sent people here," Ya Molian explained.

"But according to Emperor Shuyue, he was deceived into sending people to White Blind Mountain. He has been regretting and worrying ever since and doesn’t dare to speak of this matter. He can only secretly send people to me for help."

"Indeed."

Lin Caisang nodded her head in agreement.

If ambitious individuals like the Emperor of Wei State were to learn of this, this excuse alone would be enough for them to send troops.

"White Blind Mountain is actually not very big; we just need to search more," she said.

"Hmm."

Ya Molian responded.

...

However, even though they said White Blind Mountain wasn’t large, the group, following the trail of the fierce Guaun, saw nothing but footprints and not a sign of any person at all.

Two more hours passed, and it was already pitch dark, nearly the wee hours of the morning.

’Gurgle, gurgle.’

At this moment, someone’s stomach embarrassingly began to rumble.

Ya Molian, who was walking in front of her, paused in his steps, turned around, and looked at her, as she somewhat sheepishly raised her head and pouted.

"We’ve been walking for too long, I’m hungry."

"Zhe Jue, have everyone rest in place," Ya Molian immediately ordered.

"Phew, finally I can sit down,"

Upon hearing Prince Mo’s words, Commander Mo felt as if relieved and readily sat down on the ground.

"I don’t know what’s with this place, but every step feels so heavy. I’ve never been this tired even in fights on ordinary days. It’s really odd."

It must be said, Commander Mo spoke the truth. On White Blind Mountain, every step felt as though something was pulling on one’s feet, as if rooting them to the spot, making it impossible to move further.

That’s why, after just two hours, Lin Caisang felt so hungry her stomach was growling.

"Leader, are you alright? I’ll go collect some firewood to cook," proposed the guard by his side, obediently, after seeing his commander sit down.

"Wait."

Commander Mo, seeing him about to leave alone, immediately called out to stop him.

"Take a couple more people with you, don’t get separated," he added.

This time he was being cautious; They couldn’t scatter everyone around, it was necessary to act in larger groups.

"Yes, leader," the guard acknowledged.

"Just pick up some nearby; don’t wander off too far, or if we can’t find our way back, you’ll have me to answer to!" Commander Mo added another line.

On the other side, Jiang Zuo and the others couldn’t help but roll their eyes at his words. If someone got lost, whom would this guy hold accountable—himself?

"Sir, I’ll also go gather some firewood," Zhe Jue offered.

"No need. Just eating some dry food will do; then we rest for a bit," Lin Caisang chimed in before Ya Molian could reply.

"Still, go and collect some firewood,"

Ya Molian disagreed with Lin Caisang and instructed Zhe Jue.
