Zhou Bai originally just wanted to let the bandit group go ahead and explore the road first, but he didn't expect that they actually blocked the road directly.
Although this completely cut off Zhou Bai and the others from the "supply point", from another perspective, it was not entirely a bad thing.
But in this case, the conflicts within the team will become more complicated.
When Hans heard the robbers' taunts, he was so angry that he kicked away a stone in front of him.
"Fuck, it's so grinding.
Too many people means trouble.”
Hans, who was used to living alone, could not help but show an impatient look on his face when suddenly there were so many "sluggish people" around him.
Although Hans's complaint was not directed at anyone, it still sounded a bit harsh to the little tailor's ears.
"what do you mean?
Who do you find troublesome?
If you have the ability..."
In order to prevent the little tailor from saying anything that would hurt the unity even more, Zhou Bai quickly stopped him.
"Stop talking about it yet.
We wasted too much time and now we have to go back and change the route.
Everyone, please leave quickly.
We have to find a place to stay as soon as possible before ten o'clock."
The little tailor's words were interrupted by Zhou Bai, so he did not say anything that might split the team.
But this little episode still made him and Hans start to look at each other a little unfavorably.
Zhou Bai guided the road according to the map and led everyone to switch to a new route.
However, just after they left the suspension bridge and walked not far, they suddenly heard a violent noise from the other side.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The sound was like a huge thing jumping on the ground several times.
This violent noise caused Zhou Bai and the others to feel a slight vibration on the ground.
Everyone looked back at the other side of the broken bridge in astonishment.
Immediately afterwards, the various shouts of the robbers were heard, one after another.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Among the shouts of the robbers, there was also a deep voice.
This voice seemed to be a little excited.
This made the people on the other side of the bridge feel a little scared when they heard these sounds.
"so far so good……
Fortunately we didn’t go there.”
Adam kept patting his chest with lingering fear.
Hans and the little tailor did not speak any more and followed the team silently.
Zhou Bai glanced at Kelly and saw that he had his head lowered, so he turned around without saying anything and continued to lead the team forward.
The lake Kelly mentioned quietly before was not far from where they were.
Zhou Bai looked at the map and estimated that at the current forward speed, he would be able to reach there before noon.
However, Zhou Bai thought of Kelly's reminder just now and decided to rush to the lake as soon as possible.
He walked in front of the team and led everyone forward.
Along the way, except for encountering some wild fruits and stopping to pick them, the rest of the time was almost spent on the road.
And towards noon, they finally arrived at the lake.
I don't know whether it was because they were in a hurry or the weather was really getting hot. At this time, beads of sweat began to appear on all of their faces.
"This weather is so hot."
Hans walked to the lake and wanted to wash his face with water.
However, when his hand touched the lake water, he immediately retracted it.
"what happened?
Why is the lake so hot?"
Zhou Bai frowned and walked over and stretched his hand into the lake.
"hiss……"
He retracted his hand and immediately turned to look at Kelly.
Kelly quickly lowered his head, avoiding Zhou Bai's probing gaze.
"This place is really weird."
Hans cursed and found a shady place to sit down.
He took off his coat easily.
Zhou Bai took out the wild fruits he had just picked, distributed them to others, and then sat next to Hans.
The others wiped the sweat from their faces and took off their coats as well.
Holding wild fruits in their hands, they sat together.
"Eh? Aren't you hot?"
When the little tailor saw Kelly wearing a thick cotton coat, he walked over with a smile.
I saw that the bangs under his woolen hat were soaked with his own sweat.
However, he still stubbornly wore his coat and had no intention of taking it off.
"No...not hot."
Kelly quickly wiped away the beads of sweat hanging on the tip of his nose with his sleeves, and took a step to the side in a panic, subconsciously trying to distance himself from the little tailor.
"Oh...I'm not a monster, what are you afraid of?"
Kelly didn't answer his question, lowered his head, held a wild fruit in both hands, and took another step to the side.
At this moment, the little tailor seemed a little embarrassed.
He could only laugh a few times, touch his head with his hand, and shut up in displeasure.
On the other side, David took off his coat, and the envelope that was originally in his pocket was exposed.
Adam saw his letter, took a bite of wild fruit, and had a somewhat ambiguous look on his face.
"Do you want to tell us, you and the queen...
Hey Hey……"
David quickly took the letter back.
"Me and the queen?
I have never met the queen, I am just a messenger."
Adam's eyes fell meaningfully on David's beautiful face.
"What are you afraid of?
We won't tell anyone.
How about you tell me what it's like to be a queen?"
When Hans heard this, he burst into laughter.
"A queen in her sixties?
I'm not interested in hearing it."
After being reminded by Hans, the others also thought of this problem, and they all laughed.
Only David blushed and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say a word to refute.
Zhou Bai took out the map and studied the route while nibbling wild fruits.
Hans stopped paying attention to the gossip over there and focused his attention on Zhou Bai's map.
"We walked for nearly four hours to get here from the entrance.
According to this speed, the only place we can rest before ten o'clock is the Giant's Cave."
Hans pointed to the location of the Giant's Cave on the map.
Zhou Bai had already expected this.
Since Hans has raised this question now, it is logical for him to take a look at other people's thoughts first.
"What do you all think?"
The little tailor leaned against the tree trunk indifferently.
"The wooden sign says that giants are vegetarians, so what else is there to be afraid of?
They won’t eat us.”
Although the little tailor's words were a bit arrogant, this time, no one raised any objections and the decision was unanimously adopted.
After a brief rest, everyone continued to set off.
It was about eight o'clock in the evening when they stopped in front of a huge cave, with shocked expressions on their faces.
