Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 158 Searching
"Batu, aren't you coming? Why are you here hunting again?"

Haruna shot two rabbits, and then heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He turned around and saw Batu coming on horseback with a few people.

He was surprised and remembered how impatient the other party was when he invited someone in the evening, so he turned displeased and said, "Come here now and I'll tell you, it's too late!"

"I'm not here to hunt. Where are the Hajisan and Kehui people?"

Batu got straight to the point this time and directly asked where his men had followed Haruna.

"What? Aren't you afraid that your men will steal your limelight?"

Haruna raised his eyebrows and spoke leisurely, ignoring Batu's questions.

"I said, where are the Hajisan people?"

Batu's patience was extremely short. He finally plucked up the courage to come and deal with these two scourges. As a result, he heard Haruna talking non-stop for a long time.

"What's your attitude?!"

Haruna's attention was completely diverted after being yelled by Batu. Batu no longer wanted to talk to him. He tilted his head and ordered his men to find someone. After those people responded, they went in with torches. Go into the woods.

"Hey! They are still hunting. You used torches to scare away the prey!"

When Haruna saw Batu's people passing him and about to rush inside, he immediately shouted and tried to stop them, but Batu grabbed his arm and stopped them.

"That's enough Haruna!"

"Who has had enough? You don't want to hunt, why bother others?"

"I told you that I'm here to find someone, not to argue with you."

Batu frowned and stared at Haruna, and then said: "Also, who allowed you to bring my men to hunt without permission?"

"you……"

Haruna did feel guilty for taking someone from Batu without saying hello, but Haruna also said, "I asked them if they had anything else to do today. If not, what's wrong with coming with me to hunt?"

"Hey, where is that person hunting with you?"

Haruna: "..."

The two were arguing when a frightened scream suddenly came from the forest.

"what happened?"

The two immediately stopped arguing and rode towards the place where the screams were heard. The Xirong soldiers who heard the screams also followed the sound.

I saw that one of the men who had just followed Batu into the forest with a torch to search was now hanging from a tree with a crooked neck, and the torch in his hand was nowhere to be found.

How long had this man been in the woods?

Batu and Haruna didn't even have time to argue!

"How could this be?"

Haruna was shocked. He turned to look at Batu, but saw that the other person's expression at this time was also extremely ugly.

"Batu?"

At this moment, Haruna belatedly remembered that Batu had just come here to find someone?

"What are you doing with Hajisan and the others?"

Without waiting for Batu to answer, they heard another scream not far away. When they rushed over, they saw that the same soldier under Batu who had just come to find someone died in the same way as the one they found earlier.

"It's Hajisang and Kehui, it's them..."

Batu now directly pinned the murder suspicion on Hajisan and Kehui. Haruna wanted to ask what happened, but Batu was no longer in the mood to explain anymore. His temper was very grumpy at the moment.

"Where are Hajisan and Kehui?"

Batu directly raised his eyes and glanced around the other people who came after hearing the sound, "Which of you saw those two people?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Not to mention, they really didn't see those two people when they came in.

"What's going on? Batu, do you have a conflict with Hajisang and the others?"

At this time, another hundred households also stood up. He had not spoken since the first corpse was discovered. He had noticed the movement of Haruna and Batu early in the morning.

He stood here and listened for a long time, and then he realized that Batu seemed to be here to arrest someone. The person hadn't been arrested yet, but the person who arrested him was already dead.

When he asked, he raised his eyes and glanced at the hanging man. Under the not-so-bright moonlight, the man had a look of horror on his face, as if he had been greatly frightened before his death.

"No, they have a problem."

Batu realized that the people around him were not his subordinates. He wanted to give orders but did not listen to him. He had to rely on other hundreds of households present. Then he said: "Last night...last night I saw Hajisan with my own eyes." He Kehui is dead."

"what?!"

Haruna and several other hundreds of households heard this in disbelief.

"Are you dreaming?"

"I didn't dream. If I did, what about the other people under my command? Last night we were bathing together in the stream in the mountain. As a result, Hajisang and Ke Hui fought each other in the water because of a quarrel, and both of them drowned... "

"No, drowned?"

The creek Batu mentioned was familiar to hundreds of other households, especially Haruna, who had taken Batu there in the first place. He knew everything about the creek.

"The water is no bigger than the calf, would it drown someone? Are you kidding me?"

Haruna looked at Batu with a look that could no longer be described as suspicion. He felt that Batu was really sick. "I didn't believe it at the time, but when I and others reacted, the two of them had indeed drowned in the water, and they showed up again this morning."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Senhu-sama was here during the day. Even if I said something strange, wouldn't that prove that I neglected my duty last night?"

After Batu finished speaking, the faces of the other hundred households were even more speechless.

Not to mention, everyone has done this at one time or another during night patrols. Whether this matter is big or small depends on the mood of the adults of Qianhu.

"Whether what you said is true or not, now you sent people to find Hajisan and Kehui, but these two people have not shown up yet, and the people you sent to find them are also dead. This is really wrong."

Some hundreds of households had already reacted and called the accompanying soldiers to search for people.

"No matter what happens, we need to find Hajisang and Kehui first."

Everyone thought so, but as the night got darker and darker, even the torches in their hands could not illuminate the darkness, and then more and more bodies were involved in the search for those two people who died...

"This, this, this..."

Batu was hit in the face by a corpse that suddenly fell from the tree in front of him. He was so frightened that he fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Haruna rolled over and stood up immediately. With one hand he pulled out the scimitar from his waist and with the other he held a torch and looked at the corpse in front of him, only to see that it was his own face.

"Sanchi?"

Batu stared at the dead man in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief.

This was the eighth body he found tonight, and it was also the last body that came with him.

At this moment, he was the only person he sent to find Hajisang and Kehui.

Thinking like this, a sudden gust of cool wind blew across his neck, making Batu shiver.

Ba Xiang looked around as if suddenly frightened.

He found that this forest had been eerily quiet since he didn't know when.

"Haruna?"

Batu shouted, moving back and forth with small steps uneasily.

He held the torch and kept shining it in front of and behind him, but no one responded to him. He called other people's names several times in a row, but no one responded to him.

"what happened……"

When Batu was confused, a whisper came from the darkness:
"Lord Mountain God will not let these foreign barbarians leave here alive~"

"Killing Lord Mountain God's people, occupying Lord Mountain God's territory, shooting Lord Mountain God's rabbits... These foreigners really deserve to die~"

"Who?! Who's talking!"

Batu's hand holding the torch began to tremble, his pupils shrank violently, and he looked around uneasily, but could not see anything, and no one responded to them!
"The mountain god will never forgive you. If you dare to step into the mountain and anger the mountain god, you should be prepared to die~"

"Who is pretending to be a ghost?! I'm not afraid of you!"

Batu shouted frantically towards the surroundings, and then the wind noise around him became louder and louder, and rustling sounds continued to come from all directions.

"what--!"

Batu turned around and saw Hajisang standing alone not far away, staring at him with a ferocious smile, and suddenly a surge of anger surged out of his heart.

"I'll kill you!"

Batu raised his scimitar and slashed at the opponent until the scimitar sank into the opponent's neck. A burst of hot blood rushed directly to Batu's face. The next moment, there were screams of surprise in his ears!

"Haruna!"

"Haruna!"

"Batu, what are you doing?!"

"Ke Hui, let him go!"

The scene in front of Batu suddenly changed. He suddenly saw that the person whose neck was cut off by him was actually Haruna!
And the person hugging Haruna at this moment was Hajisan who he was supposed to kill just now!

"You, you, what did you do..."

Batu's lips moved slightly, and he glanced around with the corner of his eye. He was shocked to find that so many people had gathered around him.

Everyone looked at themselves in horror, as if they had seen something very horrifying.

Ah, he just killed his friend, which is scary in itself, right?

Turning his attention back to Haruna, who was staring at him with a look of horror, Batu subconsciously stepped back, but unexpectedly, before he even took a step back, his back leaned against a cold and stiff body.

"Lord Mountain God said, none of you can escape..."

A hoarse voice came to his ears, and Batu realized that someone had shouted something just now——

"Ke Hui, let him go!"

Who do they want Kehui to let go?
Other people’s perspectives——

Everyone saw Na Kehui sticking behind Na Batu for some reason and covering Batu's eyes with both hands.

Batu frantically waved his knife in an attempt to break free.

But at this time, Hajisan brought Haruna over. Haruna could not escape the shackles of Hajisan, and watched helplessly as his friend slashed at him...
