Chapter 666 Gratitude

They walked along a mountain road. After walking for about half an hour, they found that no paths were ahead! Aarav wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “We have gone deep into the woods. It is a deep forest that has never been exploited before. We rarely come here. There are ferocious beasts in this area. Like wolves, tigers, and leopards… But you guys are strong. You are going to be fine.” Aarav smiled.

Gerald nodded and said, “Don’t worry. Just lead the way.”

Aarav nodded. “No problem!”

As Gerald and the others walked, they took a map and looked at it. It was just a hand-drawn map. There wasn’t any detailed information on it. And there were no landmarks on that map.

That was also why Gerald’s group needed a guide. In an ancient forest like this, the scenery all around looked very similar. It was very easy to get lost. Aarav lived in this forest all year long, and he had his own unique way of navigating.

Aarav nodded and said, “Well, it’s about half a day’s walk to the farthest place I’ve ever been. We have to camp there and rest for a night before we go deeper into the forest.”

Gerald nodded and said, “No problem!”

As they walked, the girls put on their hats. But their personal fitness was unrivaled. The rough path did not trouble them.

Time flew by, and they sat down and ate some things like compressed biscuits at noon.

At five or six o’clock in the evening, Gerald and the others heard the sound of the water flowing. Aarav was happy. He said, “We’re almost there!”

Obviously, listening to the sound of water was Aarav’s way of orienting himself. He quickly went to the side of the stream and looked around. He walked along the stream awhile and said, “This way!”

There was a wooden bridge over the stream. The bridge was made of several pieces of wood and was very old. The wood was rotten.

“This is the bridge my friends and I built to find our bearings.” Aarav coughed. And then, he said, “We should be able to reach our destination in another two or three hours.”

“There is water here. Let’s set up camp here. Then you can bring us over to take a look at the place you just talked about at night,” Gerald said.

“At night?” Aarav was shocked. He said, “Well… I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Why?” Claude put down his backpack and asked.

“That place… is like a mass grave,” Aarav said awkwardly.

“So what? There’s nothing to be afraid of. We can handle everything,” Theo smiled and said.

Aarav nodded after he heard that. “Alright, let’s set up camp here. I’ll take you there after dinner.”

They found a flat place and set up the tents. Then, they cleaned their faces with the water. After tidying up, they started a fire to boil water.

Dinner was still compressed biscuits and instant food. After eating, Gerald put his backpack on the ground and picked up the box with two swords. “Well, we’re just exploring the road tonight. This is not our final destination. Our final destination is deeper in the deep forest. According to the map, there is still about a tenth of the journey left. Let me go to where Aaray’s been and see if there’s any danger!”

“No problem!” The others nodded.

“Let’s split into two groups. I’ll take Valery, Theo, and Milo with me. Carolyn, the five of you stay here. If anything happens, you can take care of them. In short, be careful and take care of yourselves. There’s a good chance there’s someone else here besides us,” Gerald sald.

Gerald and Carolyn were the strongest people on their team. It was best If they split up. That way, even if they met a strong opponent, they could deal with it.
