Some residents came out after hearing Xika's screams.
But Xika did not flee from those citizens. Instead, he said, instead,
"There, there! I saw! They numbered four. Everyone dressed in black!"
"What's? Then let's go after it!"
The citizens immediately ran led by Xika.
The owner of the drugstore that was robbed by Xika also came out without paying attention to the shelf.
Xika led them away from the drugstore so that the other three people could leave easily.
Now he's on the road.
"Uncle, looks like the thieves are splitting up. Me and a few others will go right, uncle go left."
The person Xika called uncle nodded then followed his directions.
Xika led some people and went to the right.
After that he repeatedly met crossroads or T-junction until finally he lived alone.
"You're pretty smart" said Lian Minjie, speaking from the roof of the house to Xika's right.
"Ah, Brother Lian. Is everything out? Now what are we gonna do? Are we going back to the store?"
"no need. We're going to another city. Come on, I'll lead you. Qin Mo and Lin Zhu were already waiting at the city gate."
Finished talking, Lian Minjie jumped away with Xika following behind.
Lian Minjie led him to a very high wall.
"How are we going to get through this wall?" xika asked while looking at the few soldiers who walked to and fro above the wall.
If they jump over the wall, it will be directly visible to the soldiers. In addition, although it is not visible but there seems to be a retaining wall that prevents people from jumping too high or flying.
"That's what stupid Qin is. Otherwise we would have left him a long time ago" Lian Minjie joked.
Then he walked towards a corner of the wall that was not visible from above. There is a tunnel in the ground.
"Qin Mo dug it up. Once we're out, he'll close this tunnel so it doesn't get caught. The guard on the wall was good, but they did not pay much attention under the wall. After all, no one had ever managed to break through this wall. Or at least, not yet known."
Then Lian Minjie went into the tunnel followed by Xika.
The tunnel was quite long as Qin Mo dug it directly into the forest to avoid being seen by the guards.
After about ten minutes of walking through the tunnel, Xika finally came out and saw Qin Mo as well as Lin Zhu outside.
Lin Zhu helped Xika out while Qin Mo directly closed his artificial tunnel.
"Hoi Qin is stupid! I haven't come out fucking!" said Lian Minjie who was still in the tunnel. In the middle of the road, indeed he suggested Xika go first so that he could be on guard if anyone followed.
"Oh? Also true. I forgot."
After coming out of the ground, Lian Minjie directly hit Qin Mo on the head.
"Where are we going now?" asked Lin Zhu while looking at Qin Mo's finished head being hit.
"The nearest town is about 420 kilometers. But just in case, we'll head for another city. It's 720 kilometers. We can cut off the path from this forest" Qin Mo said as he stroked his head.
"A-anu....is there no other way but the forest?" ask Xika out of concern about meeting the snake again.
"Well.this is the fastest way. It's our only choice to get to town as soon as possible."
Finally Xika followed the three of them into the forest.
"Huo Bing's. What am I supposed to do when we meet a snake?"
"Try to change your appearance a little. At least it'll slow the snakes down to find us."
Xika nodded in agreement to Huo Bing's proposal.
"Ah, brother Qin. Shouldn't we change our appearance a little? Just in case, who knew there were townspeople coming here." Xika asked Qin Mo who was leading the way.
"Well, there's no harm in us being on guard" Lin Zhu said before Qin Mo had a chance to speak.
So they stopped for a second. Qin Mo changed his hairstyle, Lin Zhu let his hair go free, while Lian Minjie tied his hair (usually the cultivator's hair was quite long, as long as the hair of the samurai in antiquity).
Only Xika cut her hair and changed her hairstyle (Xika cut her hair in half, but not until as short as the current man, more or less still half her long back).
"Is it not excessive? Until you cut your own hair." asked Qin Mo saw Xika who changed her hair the most among them all.
"Ah, it's okay. I do want to change hairstyles occasionally" Xika said
After changing their appearance, they continued their journey.
After walking for a few hours, they stopped and decided to rest.
That night, the sky was not as bright as usual. It was good for robbing, but not for a night out of town.
Qin Mo gathered some wood then Lin Zhu burned it.
Lin Zhu was a fire element cultivator, while Qin Mo was a land element. That was why he could dig and close the tunnel easily.
Despite being a fire element cultivator, Lin Zhu still needed firewood to maintain his fire. If it was without wood, it might only be a few hours before its qi ran out and the fire died.
After the fire started, the four of them sat around the fire because the weather was indeed quite cold.
"By the way, Xika kutivator what element? We'll be complete if you're a water element cultivator." asked Lin Zhu ended in laughter.
"Ehh......"
Xika scratched her head confused should explain.
"I can understand the elements of wind, fire, water, and earth."
Lin Zhu and Qin Mo immediately looked at Xika with fairly wide eyes.
They looked at Xika to make sure she wasn't lying then turned to Lian Minjie asking for confirmation.
"That's right. When I fought Xika before, she used all those elements."
"........."
"........."
Qin Mo and Lin Zhu were silent. While Xika was so confused as to say what.
Different thoughts, Qin Mo actually said the unexpected thing, but,
"Damn it, if you knew you could element the soil, you should have dug a tunnel with me. Then when you shut down the tunnel, too, you should have helped me."
Xika just scratched her head while laughing apologetically.
Instead of looking at him with a look of envy, hate, or spite. Instead, the three of them remained the same attitude as before, even after knowing he could be the four elements. It makes Xika grateful and sure not wrong to enter the group.
"Oh Qin Mo's. How far have we walked? How many more meters are we from the destination city?" lian Minjie asked Qin Mo who was a land element cultivator. It was only natural that Qin Mo could communicate with the ground, he could tell how far they walked with more accuracy.
"About a few kilos. Still a long distance to go."
Lin Zhu yawned then said,
"Aaah. Where should we sleep?"
"On the tree. That's the safest one" Lian Minjie said confidently.
So the four of them climbed a tree and slept up there.
Xika slept by tying herself to a tree. So he did not fall down even though his sleeping pose was fickle.
But not with the other three.
Lian Minjie had fallen three times before seeing Xika sleeping and imitating her. But not with Lin Zhu and Qin Mo.
They fell quite a lot that night because they were not used to sleeping in trees.
The next morning, Qin Mo and Lin Zhu were stupefied with their faces and other bruised body parts.
The two of them directly looked at Lian Minjie sharply.
"Hohoho!"
"Who did you say last night that sleeping in a tree is safest? My body was all bruised and I couldn't sleep comfortably thanks to that damn advice."
"He-hey.I also fell several times. It's all there's a way. You guys should meng-"
Lian Minjie had not yet finished her speech, she had already gotten a blow to her head.
Lin Zhu also hit Lian Minjie on the head.
After being hit a few times, then they let Lian Minjie explain.
While Xika was sleeping the most soundly that night, was unaware of their debate and just woke up now.
He stretched his hand and said,
"Good morning Brother Lian, Brother Qin, Brother Lin."
"""Yes..good morning..""" answered the three of them limply.
Xika came down from the tree after releasing the ties then looked at the three of them in a daze.
Qin Mo and Lin Zhu replied limply because indeed last night they did not sleep well plus their bodies were covered in bruises, while Lian Minjie replied limply because of the blow he received due to his suggestion.
"Let's take a shower first. As well as hunting fish for breakfast." proposed Xika so that the three of them are fresher.
The proposal was approved by the three.
But the problem was, they still had not found a single river after walking for ten minutes.
"Hoi Qin is stupid, are you sure this is the direction?"
"You can fly if you're not sure Lian's fucking."
Lian Minjie flew. Then he shouted looking at the river several meters away from his current position.
But, hell, he was not leading the way. He flew straight to the river without waiting for the other three people.
So they were forced to rely on Qin Mo walking by land.
He said, if the soil starts to damp, it means they are in the right direction.
But they still needed another ten minutes to get to the river.
Lin Zhu and Qin Mo immediately jumped towards Lian Minjie when it arrived. They beat him again.
After that they take a shower and make their bodies fresher.
Unfortunately, the fish in the river is only a small fish, can not be eaten. So they had to find another animal for breakfast.
Suddenly from within the river came the growl of animals.
And when they turned around, they found a collection of green creatures with bulges all over their bodies.
"Ah, it seems like I saw a warning board that this forest we passed through is inhabited by Spirit Beasts of Red level 2 and above."
