Wenqing was very grateful for Li Mingsheng's kindness, and he took Jinhu's hand to thank him.

Li Mingsheng did not pay too much attention to them. After all, everything should be done in moderation, including kindness. Excessive kindness will not only make people feel grateful, but also make people doubt your intentions.

Because the exotic beasts hunted by Wenqing and his friends were relatively small, and there were two of them working together to handle it, so it was quicker. After they dealt with the cuckoo chicken and the long-eared beast, they waited on the side.

Li Mingsheng finished packing in no time. He put the packed exotic animal meat into the backpack he carried with him.

Wen Qing then noticed that this orc had a strange container on his back, which could hold so many things and was much more convenient than animal skin bags.

Back at the cave entrance, Li Mingsheng first chanted a spell to remove the concealment array. After they all returned to the cave, Li Mingsheng put down the exotic beast meat and restarted the array.

"I'm back. The fire is ready." Yanli took out the exotic beast meat from the backpack and said to Li Mingsheng, who had already set up the formation again, "Is it better to roast this exotic beast meat?"

He had already cooked the pond roots they had dug two days ago when Li Mingsheng went out hunting. Now the fire was burning brightly, and it would be perfect for roasting the baa beast.

"Yes, I'll marinate it for a while before grilling it." Li Mingsheng came over and took the exotic beast meat from Yanli's hand.

Wen Qing looked at the fire over there, then looked at the raw exotic beast meat in his hand. They did not take the fire with them in their haste to escape.

Now they can only eat raw meat. It’s not like they haven’t eaten raw meat before since they escaped.

Just before entering the cave, they caught an air rat, which they killed directly and drank the blood of the strange beast. Because there was no salt, they could only drink raw blood. This was the experience summed up by slaves over the years. Without salt, there would be no strength. Before, the tribe would only occasionally put salt in their food. After all, salt was a rare commodity.

Li Mingsheng looked at the hesitant father and son not far away, and then looked at the more firewood than usual. How could he not know the meaning of aversion.

He nodded. "Go ahead."

Yanli stood up and pulled out a few pieces of firewood that were burning vigorously from the fire. Then he called Xingxing to bring a bunch of dead branches and walked up to Wenqing and his son.

"Here you go." As he said that, Xingxing put down the dead branch in his arms, "Take it!" Yanli held the torch and looked at the father and son in front of him who were in a daze and did not take it, and spoke again.

Wenqing hurriedly expressed his gratitude repeatedly. This little episode was nothing to Li Mingsheng and the others, but it was a great favor to Wenqing and his son.

Li Mingsheng did not give the father and son salt. Although they were greedy when they smelled the meaty aroma coming from Li Mingsheng's side, they were already satisfied with the roasted long-eared rabbit and cuckoo chicken, which had no salty taste but the meaty aroma of the exotic beasts themselves.

That night, after Li Mingsheng and the others had finished packing, they began to take turns keeping watch. Although there was a formation outside the cave, they still had to be careful. After all, they were in the wild and could be killed if they were not careful.

Fortunately, nothing happened until dawn. Today was a sunny day. Li Mingsheng was awakened by the sunlight shining into the cave early in the morning. After waking up, he simply washed up.

Looking at the father and son still lying in the corner with messy hair, I really regretted not letting them wash in the stream yesterday. However, thinking that we would be parting ways from today, I didn't pay too much attention to them.

After Li Mingsheng and his friends had eaten the remaining exotic beast meat and lotus roots from last night, they loaded all their belongings onto a cart.

"Everything is packed and we can leave at any time." Yanli put the last bench in place and then checked it to confirm.

"Let's walk along this mountain range first. We don't know how far the slave tribe is, so let's just walk ahead." Li Mingsheng drew their current location on the ground.

As for the slave tribe, there is no trace of it now.

"Then let's go along this mountain first, but the cart might not be able to pass through it." Yanli looked at the cart that carried all their belongings, "If it's not easy to pass through, the three of us can just carry it, but it will be much slower."

"It's okay, there's no rush. It's only spring now." Li Mingsheng responded to his concerns. It was still a long time before the snow season, enough time for them to look for it slowly.

Facing the chirping of birds in the early morning, Li Mingsheng and his companions set out again on the journey to find the slave tribe.

"Brother Li, the father and son behind us are following us." After they had walked for about half an hour, they felt someone following them. Yanli listened to the footsteps and judged that they were the two slave father and son they met in the cave last night.

"They probably want to go to the slave tribe. We mentioned that in our conversation just now, so they have been following us."

Li Mingsheng pushed the cart and then said, "Don't worry about it. If you want to follow me, just follow me. Just think of it as a companion."

He smiled cunningly, and Yanli was dazzled by the smile and stood there in a daze, thinking.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Li Mingsheng shouted from the front.

Yanli connected all the things at this time, came to his senses, and understood the meaning behind Li Mingsheng's smile.

They trotted forward and followed Li Mingsheng to push the cart. Xingxing, the big black bear, was pulling the cart in front, not making a fuss or complaining. If he knew that Li Mingsheng and the others were slacking off, he would definitely get mad.

After walking for about half a day, Li Mingsheng and his companions walked out of the forest and came to a flat ground. After they reached the flat ground, the father and son were no longer obstructed by any objects behind them.

"Father, are you still following?" Jin Hu asked, pulling Wen Qing beside him.

Wen Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue to follow. The enemy is so strong that they must have known that we are following them. Since they didn't chase us away, I think they have agreed."

These words not only convinced Jin Hu, but also convinced himself.

This flat land should be inside a valley, very wide and large, with no end in sight.

After entering here, Li Mingsheng and his companions felt much more relaxed. The cart was pulled by Xingxing on the grass. Li Mingsheng looked at the herds of herbivorous animals grazing in the distance. The comfortable environment relieved him of the fatigue of the past few days.

But this kind of comfort did not last long. Li Mingsheng gradually realized that something was wrong with the surrounding environment. "Stop first!"

Yanli asked Xingxing to stop and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Look around, isn't it very quiet?" Li Mingsheng said as he looked at the herbivorous animals that had disappeared from the surroundings. Even the other small exotic animals were nowhere to be seen. The grass was still the same grass, but the whole environment was dead silent.

"The strange beasts are gone!" Yanli saw that Xingxing seemed to want to move forward, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Xingxing, stop."

Xingxing pointed at the strange beast bones in the front left with grievance.

"Sorry, it's my fault!" Yanli looked at the strange beast bones in front of him and apologized.

He went forward and picked it up, and found that it was the skull of a flower wolf beast. Before he could bring the bone to Li Mingsheng, he accidentally stepped on empty air and fell into the water.

"! Disgust...!"
