One person: I was already fighting the Heavenly Master, but the system just came

Chapter 251 Uneasy
Cai Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly and waved her hand in a modest manner, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips: "Hey, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed."

In fact, Wang Lin's praise made her feel even more proud. In her opinion, Wang Lin was just a country girl who had never seen the world, and a few words of praise could make her open her heart to her.

Having gained sufficient emotional value, Cai Xiaoxiao held Wang Lin's hand affectionately on the surface, but she was laughing wildly in her heart: "This idiot can only say nice things. But considering that these words make me so happy, I will play with her more for the time being."

In the slightly cramped makeshift camp, there was a different kind of light gleaming in Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Cai Xiaoxiao walked up to Wang Lin again, got closer to her, and said with a bit of urgency and expectation in her tone: "Wang Lin, I think we can't just wait here. I also want to contribute and go out to find something useful."

She bit her lower lip slightly, but her eyes drifted unconsciously into the distance.

How could Wang Lin not know this? She saw through Cai Xiaoxiao's little trick at a glance.

From the admiring look that Cai Xiaoxiao could not hide when she looked at Zhao Kai on weekdays, to her eagerness to go out at this moment, Wang Lin knew clearly in her heart that Cai Xiaoxiao actually couldn't stand Zhao Kai and Chu Tingting being inseparable all day long, and wanted to go find Zhao Kai under the pretext of looking for something.

But Wang Lin did not point it out. She just sighed slightly, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao, more people and more helpers, the two of us together may have a big harvest."

Wang Lin thought, maybe if she let Cai Xiaoxiao go, she could get the energy out and she would feel better.

Besides, we are a team, and it is always a good thing to have more people looking for supplies.

After that, Wang Lin carefully took out the map showing the terrain of Youyou Mountain from his backpack.

The corners of the map are slightly curled because it has been frequently flipped through.

The two of them put their heads together, carefully examining the winding lines on the map.

Cai Xiaoxiao slid her finger across the map and muttered, "Let's go this way, maybe we can find some food."

Wang Lin nodded slightly, looked at the map intently, and responded: "Okay, let's do as you say. Let's go along this path and explore it first."

Afterwards, Cai Xiaoxiao and her friends set out on their journey forward, facing the mottled light and shadows in the mountains and forests.

Along the way, the leaves rustled in the breeze, as if whispering something.

Cai Xiaoxiao's pace quickened unconsciously, and she looked forward from time to time, as if she could see Zhao Kai's figure in advance through the layers of branches and leaves.

Wang Lin followed behind slowly, his eyes showing both wariness of the unknown road ahead and a hint of helplessness and tolerance towards Cai Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

Just like that, the two of them, with their own thoughts in mind, followed the direction indicated by the map and went deeper into Youyou Mountain.

As you go deeper into the mountains and forests, the surrounding scenery becomes more and more quiet.

The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting golden spots.

Cai Xiaoxiao had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. She was only thinking about meeting Zhao Kai as soon as possible. She walked faster and almost tripped over the tree roots growing on the ground several times.

Seeing this, Wang Lin quickly reminded her, "Sister Xiaoxiao, please slow down. This mountain road is not easy to walk on. Don't fall. We have plenty of time to find things."

Cai Xiaoxiao then slowed down her pace a little, but the eagerness in her eyes did not diminish at all.

They walked along a path that was almost covered by weeds. The surrounding bushes became increasingly dense, and from time to time they could hear the cries of unknown birds.

Wang Lin stared at the map closely, comparing it with the surrounding terrain, and carefully identifying the direction.

Cai Xiaoxiao listened attentively from time to time, hoping to catch the voices of Zhao Kai and others.

The two people had different purposes, but they walked forward side by side, step by step towards the unknown, and their figures were gradually swallowed up by the dense woods.

After walking for a while, a narrow stream appeared in front of us.

The stream is clear and flowing.

Cai Xiaoxiao stood by the stream, looking at the other side, feeling a little hesitant.

Wang Lin walked forward, observed the depth and flow rate of the stream, and said, "The water is not deep. We can get through if we are careful."

As he spoke, Wang Lin took the lead and stepped into the water. The water covered his ankles, bringing a hint of coolness.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaoxiao followed carefully.

While crossing the stream, Cai Xiaoxiao lost her balance and almost slipped. Wang Lin was quick to grab her.

"Be careful, don't panic." Wang Lin said. Cai Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Lin gratefully, and the two supported each other and successfully crossed the stream, continuing to move towards the unknown goal in their hearts.

Unconsciously, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow sprinkled on the mountains and forests, giving everything a golden coating.

Cai Xiaoxiao and Wang Lin were still traveling through the mountains and forests. At this moment, they were already far away from the camp, and Cai Xiaoxiao's desire to see Zhao Kai became stronger and stronger along with the long journey.

Although they didn't find anything particularly useful along the way, neither of them gave up.

Cai Xiaoxiao thought to herself that as long as she could find Zhao Kai as soon as possible, all the hard work would be worth it.

Wang Lin thought, no matter what, as long as he could return safely, it would be fine.

In the mountain forest covered with dense vegetation, Chu Tingting and Zhao Kai were walking slowly along a winding and sparsely traveled path.

The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if time had stood still. Only the rustling sound of their steps on the fallen leaves and the occasional chirping of birds broke the boundless silence.

The sunlight shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves seemed to have paved a dreamy road for them that sparkled with golden spots.

As she walked, Chu Tingting's bright eyes suddenly caught a slight movement in the grass.

Chu Tingting stopped immediately, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, she gently touched Zhao Kai beside her, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Kai, look, there is a rabbit over there!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and carefully pointed at the grass not far away.

Zhao Kai looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a furry hare squatting there alertly, its three-lobed mouth moving constantly as it chewed the fresh green grass. Its pair of long ears kept turning as it paid attention to the movements around it.

Zhao Kai instantly became interested when facing such a little rabbit.

There was a gleam of excitement in his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He knew very well that catching hares required not only agility but also great patience and clever techniques.

He slowly squatted down, like a lurking cheetah, and tiptoed towards the hare.

He was very careful with every step he took, trying not to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the alert little creature.

When he was only a few steps away from the hare, Zhao Kai found the right moment and pounced forward like an arrow.

His hands drew an arc in the air and accurately clamped the hare's hind legs.

"Haha, I caught it!" Zhao Kai couldn't contain his inner joy and shouted excitedly. He held up the struggling hare in his hand, as if it was the supreme honor he had won, and turned to Chu Tingting with a proud face, expecting to see admiration and praise in her eyes.

However, Chu Tingting's reaction was quite different from what Zhao Kai expected.

Instead of showing a surprised smile, she frowned and her eyes revealed deep nervousness and anxiety.

Her lips slightly opened and she made a gesture of silence, eagerly signaling Zhao Kai to shut up.

However, Zhao Kai, who was immersed in the joy of victory at this moment, was completely immersed in the world of self-satisfaction and did not understand Chu Tingting's intention at all.

Zhao Kai enthusiastically began to talk about his various techniques and experiences in catching rabbits.

He spoke eloquently and incessantly, from how to carefully observe the rabbit's movements at the beginning, analyze its eating habits and alertness range, to how to accurately predict its possible escape direction, and then to the final decisive pounce, every detail was described vividly by him.

As he spoke, he gesticulated as if he was giving a wonderful speech.

Chu Tingting was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead.

"Zhao Kai, this..." Chu Tingting was too lazy to complain in her heart. She was really not surprised by Zhao Kai's behavior.

Chu Tingting no longer hesitated. She reached out and grabbed Zhao Kai's sleeve tightly, using all her strength to try to pull him away quickly.

She moved so hastily that the veins on her arms bulged slightly.

Zhao Kai was a little overwhelmed by this sudden action, but a bold idea suddenly emerged in his imaginative heart - could it be that the goddess was moved by my heroic performance and developed special feelings for me?
Thinking of this, a sweet ripple arose in his heart.

Just when Zhao Kai was immersed in beautiful fantasies, something strange suddenly appeared in the sky.

At first, Zhao Kai thought it was his eyes that were blurry, or an illusion caused by the sunlight refracting through the leaves. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that what was fluttering down was actually pieces of white hair.

These hairs are as light as snowflakes, yet they exude an indescribable weird aura.

Every strand of hair seemed to be given life, floating in the air and slowly falling on their shoulders and hair.

The smile on Zhao Kai's face froze instantly, as if covered by a layer of frost.

He subconsciously let go of the hare in his hand. The hare seemed to sense that the danger was over and scurried into the dense grass at an extremely fast speed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

However, Zhao Kai's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his originally rosy lips lost their color.

Chu Tingting grabbed Zhao Kai's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his skin, and said in a trembling voice: "Run, something is wrong here!"

Zhao Kai then woke up from his dream and realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his imagination.

He no longer hesitated, turned around with Chu Tingting, and ran desperately in the direction they came from.

The sound of the wind whistling past their ears was like the roar of a devil; their heartbeats sounded like rapid war drums, each beat hitting their tense nerves.

The strange white hair was still falling, like an invisible net that was trapping them in this mysterious and dangerous world.

Along the way, the branches were like sharp whips, mercilessly whipping their bodies and leaving bloody marks.

Blood slowly flowed down his cheeks and arms, dripping onto the ground behind him, but they ignored it.

At this moment, there was only one unshakable thought in their hearts - to escape from this terrible place.

Their steps became heavier and heavier, and their breathing became rapid and difficult.

Every step you take feels like a race against death.

Sweat soaked their clothes and blurred their eyes, but with their tenacious will and instinct for survival, they desperately searched for a glimmer of hope for life in this dangerous forest.

After running for an unknown amount of time, their strength gradually ran out and their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Zhao Kai felt like his lungs were on fire, and every breath was accompanied by a sharp pain.

Chu Tingting was already panting, her steps staggering, and she could hardly support the weight of her body.

But they dared not stop, even for a short rest, because they knew that danger might be following closely behind them.

Just when they felt desperate, a relatively open space appeared in front of them.

On one side of the open space, there is a dilapidated wooden house. The doors and windows of the house are broken, and a lot of the thatch on the roof has fallen off.

But at this critical moment, this cabin seemed to be their life-saving straw.

Zhao Kai and Chu Tingting supported each other and walked towards the cabin with difficulty.

They arrived at the cabin and pushed open the rickety door.

The door hinge made a sharp squeak, which seemed particularly eerie in the silent forest.

They walked into the house and found it filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items. Thick dust covered every item, giving off a stale and decayed smell.

Although the environment of the cabin was very harsh, they no longer cared about it.

They found a relatively clean corner and sat down to rest for a while.

Chu Tingting's body was still trembling slightly. She snuggled tightly in Zhao Kai's arms, seeking a sense of security.

Zhao Kai gently stroked her hair, trying to comfort her, but his own heart was also filled with fear and anxiety.

Outside, the strange white hair was still flying all over the sky, as if it would never stop.

Zhao Kai looked out through the broken window, his heart full of doubts and worries.

He didn't know what was going on, nor did he know whether they could leave the forest safely.

But at this moment, they can only stay in this small wooden house, waiting for the judgment of fate and praying that the danger will pass as soon as possible.

In the small wooden house filled with the smell of decay and unknown fear, Zhao Kai and Chu Tingting huddled in the corner. Outside the house, the strange white hair was still flying around, like an invisible giant net, trapping them in a desperate situation.

It was eerily quiet all around, with only the sound of each other's heavy and rapid breathing.

At this moment, Chu Tingting suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Zhao Kai with her eyes full of complex emotions, including fear, dependence, and a hint of expectation for the future.

Zhao Kai was stunned. Chu Tingting was so beautiful at that moment.
