Miaomiao stayed at home, looking out secretly along the crack in the door.
Since yesterday, there have been a sudden increase in gangsters and gang members in several nearby streets.
They didn't know what they were doing. They were carrying sticks and machetes, and were checking and interrogating one by one at the intersection.
Residents in the nearby streets were all cautious about going out, and Miaomiao was also a little scared.
She had heard from her fat aunt before that the gangs in the slums were the worst things. They committed extortion, robbery and murder, and they did all kinds of evil.
However, because their street is relatively united and there are a few people who work in the city, they are considered tough in the slums, so they barely avoid being harassed.
But now, for some unknown reason, the gangs have reversed their previous attitude and started to blockade these areas.
It looked like something big had happened...
Miaomiao, who felt a little uneasy, lay beside the door, looking out and praying silently, "Mr. Devil bless...Mr. Devil bless... I hope nothing happens..."
And while she was praying like this, suddenly, she saw a figure in the distance walking towards her.
She was startled, quickly closed the door tightly, and then leaned against the door, not daring to move.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, there was a "dong dong dong" knock on her door.
Miaomiao leaned against the door, saying nothing, trying to pretend she wasn't at home.
But a familiar voice sounded at the door, "Miaomiao. It's me. Your fat aunt..."
Hearing Fat Aunt's voice, Miaomiao quickly said "Ah?", then she whispered, "Fat Aunt? Why are you here?" At the same time, she turned around and opened the door.
The fat aunt entered the house, then held the door, looked outside to make sure no one saw her, and then quickly closed the door.
Putting down the door bolt, she pulled Miaomiao to the bedside, sat down, and whispered, "Nanny, have you been scared these past two days?"
Hearing Fat Aunt's words, Miaomiao was really scared, but she didn't want Fat Aunt to worry, so she quickly shook her head.
But the fat aunt watched Miaomiao grow up, how could she not know Miaomiao's character, so she gently patted Miaomiao's hand and comforted her,
"It's okay. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"This matter will be over soon."
She paused and then said, "I just went to inquire about it. The reason why those gangs surrounded the area is because they are looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Miaomiao asked in confusion.
The fat aunt nodded, "Yes."
She was about to explain, but when her eyes fell on Miaomiao's left cheek, she couldn't help but shut up.
She said a little bit angrily, "Why are you so careless again?"
Having said this, she squatted down, wiped a handful of ash on the ground with her hand, and then carefully smeared it on Miaomiao's left face.
Suddenly, Miao Miao failed to apply it, which exposed the fair left side of her face, but her skin color was covered up.
After wiping it off, she looked at Miaomiao again, and then nodded with relief.
Then she took Miaomiao's hand and said with some emotion, "Hey... Nannan, don't blame aunt for always dirtying your face."
"The slums are too unsafe, and you are getting more and more beautiful now. I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to see you anymore..."
"You must pay attention."
Feeling the care of the fat aunt in front of her, Miaomiao's nose was a little sore. She lowered her head and nodded, and whispered, "Fat aunt, don't worry. I will pay attention..."
The fat aunt just said "hmm" and felt relieved.
Then she seemed to remember what she had just said halfway, and patted her generous forehead, "Look at my memory. I forgot about it halfway through."
She glanced at the door, and then whispered, "I'm telling you. Over there in the commercial street, the owner of Haiya Grocery Store offended someone and was killed."
"But just kill that person. He also killed three gang members and even took away the crystals that the gang had stored for sale in the grocery store."
"So...the gang bosses are angry. They have been investigating this matter thoroughly these days."
"They were checking and checking, and they didn't know what happened, but they found a few of our streets."
"They said that witnesses saw a girl who seemed to have gone to the grocery store twice before the incident. Everyone died after that."
"So, they are checking that girl..."
"They said they would leave as soon as they caught someone."
"So...don't be too scared."
After hearing the fat aunt's words, Miaomiao's face suddenly turned pale.
Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her hands couldn't help but clenched tightly...
...........
In the jungle.
After eating, Fang Ze did not continue to run away.
This jungle looks quite small when you look at it from the map, but once you actually enter the jungle, it feels even bigger.
The bigger the forest, the more creatures there are.
This is a world with extraordinary power, and Fang Ze is really afraid that he will plunge into the lair of some unstoppable disaster creature.
Before, he wanted to quickly escape from the security bureau's search range, but he had no choice. Now that he was a little further away, Fang Ze could be more careful.
Moreover, because I was running for my life yesterday, I didn’t have time to use the [Late Night Investigation Room]. Today, I’m not so pressed for time, and I can use the [Late Night Investigation Room] again to enhance my strength.
After all, strength is king no matter what.
Therefore, the top priority is to find a safe place to rest so that he can sleep peacefully...
With this in mind, Fang Ze recruited two shadow warriors and asked them to explore the area nearby to see if there was a suitable place to sleep. While he himself packed up and repacked his things, preparing to move later.
And just as he was cleaning up there, in the jungle not far away, there were three figures moving quickly through there.
It was a group of three people, two men and one woman.
The leading woman has long legs and a slender waist. She is fair and beautiful, with a hint of heroism between her eyebrows.
The two men at the back are taller and shorter, but their muscles are tight. When they walk, their thick legs seem to have big tendons vibrating.
While moving quickly, the three of them were communicating in low voices.
The short man said, "Boss, why do you feel something is wrong? That boy is so good at running away, isn't he?"
"It's been more than ten hours. I'm not tired at all. I'm just not a human being."
After hearing what he said, the tall man agreed, "Yes. Boss. We have been chasing for a whole day and a night. We can't catch up with the target. Could it be that the information given to us by Lord Golden Fox is wrong?"
After hearing what the two people said, the long-legged woman in the lead said coldly, "The information Master Jinhu gave us cannot be wrong."
"However, the opponent is probably carrying some kind of transferable Noble Phantasm. That's why we have been unable to catch up."
Speaking of this, she felt it silently.
After a moment, her face lit up and she said, "The target is resting where he is. This is a good opportunity, let's catch up quickly."
Hearing the woman's words, the other two men immediately became excited. They quickly agreed, "Okay!"
Then the three people's leg muscles exploded and they ran forward quickly...
In less than ten minutes, sure enough, they saw the target.
Because the distance was not far away, the long-legged woman quickly made a gesture, and then motioned for the two of them to slow down and adjust their breathing.
For a moment, she stared at the target in the distance, and then whispered, "According to the intelligence, although the opponent is an ordinary person without training, he is suspected to have the ability to awaken, or possess extraordinary treasures."
"So, in order to avoid accidents and being escaped by the other party, we will stay the same as before..."
After hearing what the long-legged woman said, the short man patted his chest carelessly and said with a smile, "Boss, don't worry. I just have the ability to awaken."
"We can't kill just one or two of these untrained awakened ones."
"Except for their awakening ability, they are no different from ordinary people."
"In fact, because they suddenly have the ability to awaken, their confidence will increase, which will make them easier to strike."
"Don't worry."
Hearing the short man's words, the long-legged woman nodded in agreement, but still said, "Don't take it lightly."
...
After waiting in the open space for a while, Fang Ze sensed the shadow warrior: Stick One, and seemed to have found a suitable cave to hide in.
It's just that although the two parties have simple telepathy, they are unable to convey complex information, so he can only wait patiently for the other party to return.
Sitting on the chair, crossing his legs and yawning, Fang Zegang was a little bored, and then he heard the voices of two or three people talking from the jungle,
"Hey, I didn't catch enough prey today. What will I do when I get back?"
"Yes. It's almost time to pay the rent. If we can't catch any more prey, we'll be in trouble."
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Fang Zeerlang put down his legs, then picked up his luggage. He tensed up and squinted his eyes to look in the direction where the sound came from.
Along with the sound of voices, three people wearing hunter's attire walked out of the woods.
Three people, two men and one woman.
The woman has a beautiful face, long legs, and a bow and arrow on her back.
Two men, one tall and one short, held steel spears in their hands. Carrying three hares on their backs, the hares looked like they had just died and were still dripping blood...
Seeing the appearance of the three people in front of him, Fang Ze picked up his luggage, looked at them warily, and then asked, "Who are they?"
At the same time, when the three of them saw Fang Ze, they couldn't help but show vigilant expressions on their faces.
They took a step back, leaned closer to each other, and then looked at Fang Ze.
After a moment, the tall man among the three said in a low voice, "We are hunters from Blue Water City. We are hunting in the Blue Water Forest. It is getting late and we are looking for a place to sleep outdoors. Who are you?"
