If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Zhou Wu had been tied up for three days. Everyone else had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and no one knew what they were busy with, leaving only the tall, thin man and Zhou Wu behind.

"Hey, you idiot, you idiot."

The tall, thin guy stood to the side, playing by himself.

Upon hearing Zhou Wu's voice, he walked over with a silly grin.

"hey-hey."

"You idiot, untie the ropes that bind me, and I'll give you something delicious."

"delicious!"

The fool put his fingers in his mouth and shouted, as if savoring what tasted delicious.

"Hurry up, do you want more good food?"

"Yes, yes."

The fool actually started to untie the ropes binding Zhou Wu.

"It's delicious, it's delicious."

After the rope was untied, the fool immediately reached out to Zhou Wu, begging for some treats.

"Fool, I don't have it with me. I'll go home and get it for you."

Zhou Wu didn't have any good food on him, so he could only make an excuse to refuse. Unexpectedly, the girl didn't make a fuss and just followed Zhou Wu all the way.

Zhou Wu didn't dare to drive him away, fearing that too much noise would attract the old woman, so he could only let the fool follow behind him.

The two of them carefully made their way through the forest.

. . . . . . . .

"What should we do? There are heavy troops guarding everywhere outside, and we have no way to leave the South China Sea."

Outside the cave, the old woman and her companions returned.

It turns out that these past few days, they've been leaving early and returning late, actually looking for an opportunity to leave the South China Sea.

However, with Zhou Wu missing, all exits from the South China Sea were immediately blocked, leaving him with no chance to leave.

The group entered the cave dejectedly, only to discover something unusual: it was unusually quiet.

These past few days, whenever the group arrived at the cave entrance, the idiot would run out to find them, either to play or to beg for food, but today there was no sound at all.

"Oops."

The old woman cried out in alarm and rushed inside, only to find Zhou Wu nowhere to be seen, and even the idiot was gone.

The untied ropes on the ground clearly indicated that they had escaped.

"Ran?"

The short, stout man and the child followed them in and witnessed the scene.

"Chase."

Zhou Wu is currently the most likely person to know about Baiyujing. If we miss this opportunity, we may never have the chance to go to that place again in our lives, so we must find him.

After they left the cave, they found themselves in an endless forest.

When Zhou Wu left, he thought that even if the other party came to chase him, they might not be able to find the right direction. But obviously, he underestimated this group of people.

"Kid, go."

The old woman placed the rope binding Zhou Wu in front of the child. The child sniffed it, then suddenly dropped to all fours and lay on the ground. Like a hunting dog, he sniffed around on the ground while leading the old woman and the short, fat man in a chase in one direction.

This direction was exactly the direction Zhou Wu had left in, without any deviation.

The old woman was getting on in years and it was difficult for her to run. She started panting after only a few steps.

The short, stout man next to him carried the old woman on his back and sped along with the child.

. . . . . . . .

"Huff...huff...I'm tired...let's rest..."

After running for most of the day, Zhou Wu was exhausted. He turned to look at the idiot, who seemed completely unaffected despite the long distance.

"Run, run, they're catching up!"

When Zhou Wu heard what the idiot said, he thought the idiot had returned to normal, but the idiot was still acting silly, pacing around anxiously.

"Idiot, you're saying they're after us?"

Zhou Wu was somewhat incredulous. Had the idiot returned to normal, was he just talking nonsense, or had he actually sensed something?

"Yes, they're coming, they're coming."

The fool nodded repeatedly.

"Damn it, better safe than sorry, let's keep going."

Although Zhou Wu spoke enthusiastically, he had actually exhausted too much energy. To say he was running was no different from walking.

Suddenly, her legs gave way and she was about to fall to the ground, but the tall, thin man grabbed her with one hand, saving her from falling flat on her face.

"No~~~I can't go on anymore, I can't run anymore~~~~"

Zhou Wu breathed heavily and greedily, but the tall, thin man grabbed him, threw him onto his back, and began to exert force while carrying Zhou Wu.

It has to be those long legs; they run really fast, and this tall, thin guy doesn't seem to get tired at all, maintaining a steady pace the whole way.

Zhou Wu was even a little touched when he saw the tall, thin man carrying him on his back.

. . . . . . .

Nanhai City.

"How about it?"

As Zhou Wu's brother, Niu Er temporarily took charge of all matters in the South China Sea, not for any other reason than to find Zhou Wu.

"South Sea City has been searched several times, but nothing has been found."

Benboer was in charge of the South China Sea City, so naturally he was responsible for searching it.

"There was nothing unusual at the dock."

Next up was Madam Lin.

"The island has been searched almost completely; now the only area left to be searched is the southern part."

Niu Er was personally in charge of the island's wilderness area, and now only one last area remains to be searched.

However, judging from this, the chances of finding Zhou Wu are very slim, and it is very likely that he had already left the South China Sea before the blockade was imposed.

"Gentlemen, since the lord went missing, South Sea City and even South Sea Island have been under lockdown for several days now. Although the local people understand, many passing merchants are very dissatisfied."

Although Deng Yuanliang was reluctant to say this at this time, as Zhou Wu's treasurer, he had to tell the truth.

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Er was furious. His elder brother's fate was unknown, and these damned merchants only cared about their own business.

“Niu Er, calm down. We don’t want anything to happen to the Master, but what if he’s no longer on the South China Sea? Should we keep sealing it off? The South China Sea is the Master’s life’s work.”

The leadership is now divided into two factions. One faction, led by Niu Er, is determined to find Zhou Wu.

Another group, led by Deng Yuanliang, believed that while finding Lord Zhou was important, they also couldn't allow the South China Sea to be affected.

“Deng Yuanliang, let me tell you, no one is allowed to leave the South China Sea until we find our elder brother.”

"Niu Er, you're going to ruin the master's hard work!"

Both sides had their own reasons, and for a time, they were unable to reach an agreement.

"Alright, stop arguing and calm down. We haven't even found the adults yet, and we're already fighting amongst ourselves. What are you thinking?"

Lin Niangzi stepped forward at this moment. She actually leaned more towards Deng Yuanliang. After all, it was impossible to blockade the South China Sea forever. If that happened, the image and prosperity that the South China Sea had worked so hard to build would vanish in an instant, which was definitely something Zhou Wu did not want to see.

Seeing that both sides had calmed down a bit, Madam Lin continued.

“Niu Er, didn’t you say there’s still a region left to search? I suggest that once this area is searched, regardless of whether we find the Master or not, we should lift the blockade of the South China Sea. However, we should still strictly check people entering and leaving the South China Sea.”

Madam Lin suggested a compromise.
