Chapter 403 Trust
“Madam Xiao, your sudden disappearance has already attracted the Emperor’s attention. I didn’t expect you to come to this forest. When I went to ask Fei Bufan for the situation, he said he didn’t know anything about it.”
“General Mo, it is rare for you to have such kindness. Thank you. That’s right, I came here alone quietly. So nobody knows. It’s reasonable for the Emperor to think I’m missing.” Madam Xiao sighed.
Mo Ming said: “So that’s how it is. Oh, everyone, please eat. I, Mo Ming, will never harm you.”
Little Fairy was already starving, and now hearing Madam Xiao’s words, she knew that Madam Xiao had gained Mo Ming’s trust. Madam Xiao had always been right about people. She could no longer hold back and rushed forward, taking a flatbread from the bundle in front of Mo Ming and wolfing it down.
Seeing this, Molly no longer stood on ceremony, went forward and took two flatbreads, giving one to Lin Ye. Lin Ye no longer hesitated, took the flatbread handed to him by Molly, and began to gnaw at it desperately. Madam Xiao also came over and took one.
After eating the flatbread and water, everyone felt their spirits greatly increased.
Madam Xiao said: “General Mo, if you trust us, then come with us.”
Mo Ming of course trusted Madam Xiao, so he picked up his weapon and followed behind the group, shuttling through the dense primitive forest.
Because of the experience from last time, they no longer blindly traversed, but instead adopted a formation of three points in a straight line, heading north all the way.
After walking for about half a day, just as everyone was exhausted and about to sit down and rest, they suddenly heard a faint sound of flowing water. Everyone was surprised and delighted, followed the sound, and their eyes lit up.
A cliff stood imposingly before them, and countless vultures flew past the cliff, the sound of their wings beating the wind echoing with the gurgling sound of flowing water, reverberating between the cliffs. It sounded surprisingly impassioned.
A curtain of waterfall poured down from the cracks in the rocks between the cliffs above, like a silver river cascading from the sky, shining brilliantly under the bright sunlight. Crystal clear water droplets sparkled in the air, carried by the wind and scattering everywhere, making a beautiful sight.
Little Fairy was extremely excited and said: “I haven’t seen water for several days. This time I will take a good wash and thoroughly wash away the bad luck on my body.”
After speaking, she rushed towards the waterfall.
Lin Ye rushed forward and grabbed her, saying: “Little Fairy, don’t be so hasty, let’s see the situation around us first.”
Little Fairy disagreed: “Little brother, I know you are concerned about me, don’t worry, it’s okay. We have already left the forest, those monsters can’t come here.
Don’t stop me, I just want to take a good bath. I haven’t bathed for days, and I stink all over. Smelly yourself, what a strange smell you have.”
Lin Ye still held Little Fairy’s hand, looked down and sniffed his own clothes, saying: “There’s no smell. It’s still the same as before.”
As he spoke, Madam Xiao, Mo Ming, and Molly walked over.
Lin Ye looked up at the waterfall cascading down the cliff, felt the wonderful taste of fine water droplets hitting his face, and sighed: “This place is indeed good, with a unique scenery, but unfortunately the cliff is too steep.
There is no way to get out from here. That is to say, we are still trapped at the edge of the forest. Moreover, Black Double-edged Sword and his subordinates have disappeared without a trace.
Perhaps they also came here in the same way and are likely lurking in some dark corner, waiting for us to appear. As long as we relax our guard, we are in danger of being ambushed by them at any time.”
Madam Xiao said: “My son’s words make sense. But what worries me even more are those bizarre demonic beasts. This must be one of their essential water sources.
It is uncertain whether they will come here collectively to drink water after not being seen for some time. Moreover, we cannot see where the waterfall falls from here. We have to climb over a stone peak obstacle in front to see the true appearance of the waterfall.”
Little Fairy dared not act rashly after hearing them.
Madam Xiao raised the torch in her hand and said: “Before we are completely out of danger, we must keep our torches lit, just in case.”
Molly remained silent. In fact, like Little Fairy, she just wanted to go to the waterfall and wash herself thoroughly.
Mo Ming, who had been silent, suddenly said: “You all stay here, I will go and scout the situation.”
As soon as the words fell, he put on his long weapon and, like an arrow released from a bow, swept towards the stone peak in front of him.
He crept onto the stone peak and suddenly heard the low growls and roars of monsters from behind the stone peak. Although the sound was not very clear amidst the roar of the waterfall, Mo Ming still felt the latent threat. Please ask for flowers.
He was too familiar with this sound. His heart tightened, and he quietly peeked out from the crevices of the stone peak and looked in the direction where the waterfall fell. He saw a magnificent and strange scene. He had no time to think carefully and immediately beckoned to Lin Ye and the others behind him.
Lin Ye, Madam Xiao, Little Fairy, and Molly saw Mo Ming’s gesture and suddenly realized that the problem was quite serious. They dared not make a sound and immediately walked up the stone peak with torches.
Everyone poked their heads out and was stunned, their mouths wide open. Little Fairy almost cried out in surprise.
Right before their eyes, about fifty meters from the stone peak, there was a deep pool. More than a dozen monsters with deep red scales and long tails were swimming in the pool.
Their faces with green skin and fangs floated on the water, constantly roaring, and their fin-like nasal wings were constantly spraying mist, reflecting rainbows in the sunlight.
One of the most massive demonic beasts had the characters “Number Three” clearly engraved on its back. It was the leader of the demonic beasts that had escaped from Fei Bufan’s demonic beast training base.
It was the Beast Number Three that had almost taken Xue Bilian and others’ lives in Ming Du. He never expected it to come here, and it had naturally become the ruler of these demonic beasts.
On the bank lay a monster about four meters long and five meters long, with its scales shining all over. The color of this monster’s scales was even deeper, and its size was only slightly smaller than Beast Number Three.
It should be the Monster Mother that had attacked them before. And by the pool in front of the Monster Mother, lay a small monster about 1.5 meters long and about 2 meters long. It seemed to be that cub.
The Monster Mother kept sticking out its blood-red, snake-like tongue, licking the cub’s body, and kept raising its head and whimpering, looking a little sad.
No one could understand the Monster Mother’s actions, but the scene before them was enough to make everyone’s blood circulation unconsciously accelerate and their hearts beat faster.
Everyone hid tightly behind the stone peak, not daring to make a sound.
What shocked them even more was that on the other side of the pool, near the cliff, there was a nest built high with branches.
