Little Bai Ze was skipping ahead of everyone but after running off for a distance, it would stop and turn around to check on Ji Fengyan. Once Ji Fengyan had kept up, it would then continue moving forward, otherwise it would stay on the spot and wait, ensuring that it was always in Ji Fengyan’s line of sight.
Zuo Nuo looked at the small white deer becoming smarter, and thought of what Ji Fengyan had said previously. He felt that what she said had a higher possibility now.
“Miss, the soil here is very well nourished and the trees that grew from here was also the best. Shall we just look around here?” Zuo Nuo walked into the forest and said after examining the conditions in the surroundings.
Ji Fengyan nodded. “Xiao Nuo, who knew that you also have such skills besides crafting weapons.”
Zuo Nuo was blushing from Ji Fengyan’s compliment and suddenly said seriously, “Being a carpenter is also one of my side jobs.”
“…” So what other side jobs did he have?
There was wild grass everywhere in the forest, but the scent was very cool and pleasant. Ji Fengyan stopped after every few steps so that she could enjoy the gift of nature.
Zuo Nuo was very committed in looking for high quality wood. During the whole time, Yang Jian followed behind Ji Fengyan and did not say anything else.
As they walked, everyone had unknowingly reached somewhere deep in the forest and the spacing between the trees had narrowed a lot. Huge bushes that were half as tall as a person were densely packed in front of them. With Bai Ze and Xiao Tianquan’s height, it was almost impossible to see them after they entered the bushes and only the swaying of the bushes could be seen.
Suddenly…
There was a faint blood stench emitted among the flower fragrance. That smell made Zuo Nuo, who had been to battle before, on his guards. He subconsciously took out his sword and held it in his hands as he walked in front of Ji Fengyan.
“Miss, there’s a blood stench!”
Ji Fengyan had also smelled the blood stench, but she was not as nervous as Zuo Nuo and instead approached the area where the stench had come from.
Zuo Nuo was stunned for a while and followed after her.
As Ji Fengyan walked through the bushes, her clothes rubbed against the bush and gave out a soft rustling sound. As if it had detected impending danger, Bai Ze, who had been jumping around during the entire journey, followed closely beside Ji Fengyan and moved forward one step at a time.
In the deep forest, the tall wild bushes also swayed together and the blood stench smelled even stronger.
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes and looked at where the bushes had swayed the most vigorously. She gestured to Zuo Nuo and slowed down her steps as she slowly moved closer.
When Ji Fengyan walked through the bushes, she saw a three- or four-year-old child laying on top of a cheetah’s carcass. His extremely fair complexion that was almost transparent was covered in blood and his dark-coloured hair made his pale skin stand out even more.
Upon realising that someone was near him, he suddenly looked up and his red eyes instantly met with Ji Fengyan’s eyes.
Ji Fengyan’s heart shook!
That child had such a delicate face that awed people but what made Ji Fengyan really shocked was his red eyes and the bloodstain in his mouth and chest.
That fellow raised his head up with a blank look. When he saw Ji Fengyan and the rest appearing out of nowhere, the fresh blood in the corner of his lips flowed down along his fair skin.
There was only a blank look in that pair of red eyes.
“This… this child…” Zuo Nuo looked at the child who was covered in blood and could not help but cover his mouth.
That child was actually eating that cheetah’s carcass!
