Chapter 138 Collecting Bones While Taking a Break

"Alas, what a pity for those deer antlers and tiger bones."

Sigh...sigh...

A few sighs, accompanied by frequent turning backs, and a meaningful look in his eyes.

Wenwen tried to pretend she didn't see it, didn't know it, or couldn't understand it, but it didn't work.

Not only Ye Jingchuan turned around, but Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin also turned around from time to time to give her meaningful glances.

Well, the two older brothers have been successfully influenced by their uncle, and they have also fallen in love with herbs, or more accurately, with making strange and unusual medicinal powders.

If you want to learn your uncle's skills, you have to pay some tuition.

For the Wen brothers, helping to persuade Wenwen to accept the deer antlers and tiger bones was the tuition they had to pay.

For Wenwen, being able to acquire these items is the tuition she has to pay.

Tsk tsk, Ye Jingchuan has a good plan.

However, Wenwen is always very generous to her own family, and she secretly gave the people in front of her a reassuring look.

Just as the main group passed through the wreckage and the distance was suitable for her, Wenwen secretly collected all the animal remains that were suitable for medicinal use.

If the two wolves, engrossed in eating their meat, hadn't been so focused, they might have noticed the deer antlers beside them vanish into thin air. If they had turned their heads even slightly, they might have seen the tiger bones beside them disappear in an instant as well.

The place where the wreckage was originally stored is now empty, revealing the original grass and gravel ground.

Unfortunately, the two wolves were oblivious to the changes around them and were too busy eating to notice.

After quietly collecting everything, Wenwen secretly gave an OK sign to the person in front.

Ye Jingchuan has already gained a lot from the halfway through this mountain trail. He wonders what else he will gain in the remaining half.

Upon seeing the gesture, Ye Jingchuan was in a particularly good mood and quickened his pace.

The Wen family members behind them sensed that the leader was quickening his pace, so they couldn't help but follow suit, their steps hurried.

The sudden acceleration of the person in front made the prisoners following behind tense up again.

Ever since they encountered the wolf pack, this group of people has become like frightened birds. They fall silent at the sight of wolves and panic at the sound of their howls. If it weren't for the Wen family leading the way, they might not have chosen this path.

Everyone safely passed through the wreckage area, and the group continued towards the heart of the forest.

The deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the colder the air becomes. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, stirring up fallen leaves on the ground. When these leaves brush against your face, you can feel a chill.

Along the way, we saw many animal tracks, large and small, overlapping in the fallen leaves.

Some prisoners even accidentally stepped in dog poop and got lucky.

All of this happened quietly during the journey, and thankfully, no one shouted or complained.

Everyone remained highly tense, and accompanied by the giant python and led by the first few people, they walked faster and faster.

The brisk walk turned into a jog, and as they ran, the Wen family members leading the way not only used their detachment technique but also channeled some spiritual energy.

The group quickly moved ahead, with Ye Jingchuan following behind.

Once their spiritual energy was depleted and their speed decreased, they regained some strength and resumed the same pace.

The Wen family members behind them were the same; they used their martial arts techniques and spiritual power.

Everyone runs as fast as they can in front, but of course, they don't leave too far behind the people behind.

The distance between them and the prisoners behind them was maintained by Master Zhou and a group of female relatives.

This way, it won't seem too abrupt, nor will it become a burden to the people ahead of you.

Repeating this process, they unknowingly ran out of the thorny area, through the heart of the mountain forest, and arrived at a bamboo grove.

Wen Qilin stopped first. He looked at Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin, who were pushing the cart beside him. The two of them had been pushing the python and had been following closely behind him. Now that they had stopped, they were only slightly out of breath, which meant that they had recovered a lot of strength.

He then looked at Ye Jiangchuan, who was a few steps away from them.

Ye Jingchuan was panting heavily, looking somewhat exhausted.

The rest of the Wen family members, a few steps away from Ye Jingchuan, looked rather disheveled. They were panting heavily, drenched in sweat, and their legs were trembling.

Wen Qilin couldn't help but ponder.

It seems that in the future, taking advantage of leading the way, their family members will need to take turns running and exercising from time to time, otherwise this stretch of road will be wasted.

To paraphrase Wenwen, even walking should be a way to realize its value. Since walking is necessary, we should find opportunities along the necessary route and make full use of them.

When the time is right, he needs to discuss it with his father and ask him to hold a family meeting to urge the kids on.

Before Wen Qilin could consider it any further,

Ye Jingchuan strode over.

Logically speaking, he wasn't a bad person, so why did he appear so incompetent in front of the Wen family?

That's the truth, and Ye Jingchuan had no choice but to admit it.

"You guys run way too fast, I almost couldn't keep up with you."

"Huff, huff, you know we've long passed the danger zone, so why are we still running? What's the point of running so far?"

Before the people behind him could catch up, Ye Jingchuan asked the question that had been bothering him.

To his surprise, Wen Qilin just shook his head and said, "Xiao Chuan, your physical strength isn't very good either. Does your grandmaster know that you've been slacking off lately?"

Ye Jingchuan: "......"

Brother, you really know how to bring up the most sensitive topic.

Is it appropriate to say these things at this time?

Ye Jingchuan was speechless for a moment, unable to express his bitterness.

Soon everyone arrived at the bamboo grove.

Without needing much guessing, Ye Jingchuan stated directly, "We've already left the thorny area, you could say we've left the danger zone. Once we cross this bamboo forest and descend the hillside, we'll see the main road, but..."

Before Ye Jingchuan could finish speaking, the crowd suddenly became excited.

"Ah, they've made it out? Is it real?"

"Have we really traversed the legendary thorny path just like that?"

"Thanks to this snake for protection."

"Haha, I'll never be afraid of snakes again..."

"Oh, finally in town! I'm going to eat well and stay in the best place, hahaha..."

In an instant, all sorts of laughter and chatter rang out from the crowd.

It's human nature; when everyone knows the danger has passed, they immediately feel relieved.

It's understandable to make some unrealistic and grandiose statements.

Ye Jingchuan opened his mouth, but said nothing more. He turned around and ran away.

He didn't forget to add, "Brother, let's see who gets out of the bamboo forest first."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qilin was both amused and exasperated.

This kid, although he's of the same generation, is just like Dalang and the others in age and temperament.

Ye Jingchuan's leading the way certainly gave everyone strength.

After everyone had caught their breath and recovered, Wen Qilin turned around and strode into the bamboo forest.
