Chapter 352: Wild Hot Pot

Baili Pangpang: …

Ahem, and they are also the investors for this documentary filming project, Lin Qiye added.

Li Deyang’s face was filled with disbelief.

However, he really couldn’t guess the backgrounds of these few people.

In the brief encounter just now, only Lin Qiye had made a move, and he didn’t reveal any supernatural powers at all, purely using close combat skills to instantly snatch the shotgun from Li Deyang’s hands.

As for the injury on Li Deyang, it was indeed because he got too excited after losing the gun, moved too much, twisted his waist, and then fell…

Just from this point, Lin Qiye’s strength was indeed hard for him to fathom.

If he said Lin Qiye was very strong, it seemed like he was just quick to snatch the gun; if he said he wasn’t strong, he had still taken the gun from a night watchman…

Facing these four young people, Li Deyang admitted he had underestimated them, and he hadn’t planned to use the Forbidden Ruins at first. After all, who would have thought that a young kid could have such impressive skills?

Li Deyang thought carefully and deduced three possibilities.

The first possibility was that these four were indeed here to film a documentary, a rich young master bringing along a capable young bodyguard seemed reasonable.

The second possibility was that they were “believers.” However, this was unlikely; if they were believers, there would be no need to save Li Tingting, and now he was wearing a night watchman’s cloak, which believers would definitely recognize. How could they let him go and even carefully disinfect his wounds?

The third possibility was that they were also night watchmen. This thought just appeared in Li Deyang’s mind before he dismissed it.

Generally speaking, night watchmen have their own cities to guard and wouldn’t run around unnecessarily, especially not in this primitive forest. The only ones with mobility would be special teams, and as far as he knew, these four young people did not fit the characteristics of any special team.

The most critical point was, if they were really a special team, why would they disguise their identities?

After thinking it over, it seemed that these four young people could only be the first possibility…

Li Deyang supported himself with one hand on the ground, using the other to hold his waist, and struggled to stand up. Lin Qiye quickly stepped forward to help him, but Li Deyang waved him off.

Kid, I don’t care who you all are, but… you can’t move forward anymore.

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, what if we have to move forward?

…Li Deyang opened his mouth and thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a single word.

Right, if they insisted on moving forward… what could he do?

Now he could barely walk, his gun had been taken, his knife was gone, and while he could use the Forbidden Ruins, he couldn’t really kill them all, could he?

Seeing the pained expression on Li Deyang’s face, Lin Qiye’s lips curled up slightly, giving a look to Cao Yuan and An Qingyu. The two immediately understood and moved to support Li Deyang, helping him walk forward.

Uncle Li, take it slow, don’t twist your waist again. Baili Pangpang said with a grin.

For Lin Qiye, bringing Li Deyang along was more of a burden, but he couldn’t just leave him alone in the forest. After all, even a giant ant could be a threat in this area, and in his current state, Li Deyang was no match for it. A diligent night watchman like him couldn’t just be left to die.

Thus, the four of them continued deeper into the forest with Li Deyang in tow.

After walking for over two hours, Li Deyang’s stomach began to rumble. Lin Qiye turned back to see Li Deyang’s face turn red as he silently turned his head away.

You two, let me rest a bit, I want to eat some biscuits. Li Deyang said to An Qingyu and Cao Yuan.

Lin Qiye glanced at the time and said, Let’s all take a break here; we should be close to our destination… let’s adjust our states.

Upon hearing this, An Qingyu and the others immediately became serious. They knew what the destination referred to; if all went well, a fierce battle was imminent.

The two set Li Deyang down against a tree. He pulled out a crumpled pack of compressed biscuits from his clothes, tore it open, and took a big bite. To his surprise, the compressed biscuits were frozen hard, and he only managed to bite off a corner, nearly breaking a tooth.

Li Deyang frowned slightly but continued to bring the compressed biscuits to his mouth, biting down harder.

Noticing that Lin Qiye and the others were watching him, he paused for a moment, hesitated, and then took out more than half of the biscuits from the package and held them out.

You guys must have run out of food, right? Let’s share some; although it’s not tasty, it can still replenish some energy. Li Deyang said earnestly.

Baili Pangpang opened his mouth as if to say something, but at that moment, Lin Qiye leaned in and whispered to him for a moment. Baili Pangpang immediately understood, nodded, and turned to walk deeper into the forest.

Seeing Baili Pangpang leave alone, Li Deyang asked with some confusion: Where is he going?

Oh, he went hunting. Lin Qiye replied.

Hunting? Li Deyang shook his head. At this time, hunting in the forest isn’t that easy… you should call him back. If the biscuits aren’t enough, I can eat less.

No need. Lin Qiye replied with a smile.

Less than three minutes later, Baili Pangpang returned.

He was carrying a bag of beef rolls in his left hand, a stack of tripe in his right, and cradling a steaming hot pot that was bubbling away, complete with a portable gas stove underneath, running back excitedly.

Look! I caught a wild hot pot!! He said proudly.

Lin Qiye: …

An Qingyu: …

Cao Yuan: …

Li Deyang: ?????!!

A wild hot pot?!

Are you kidding me?

Lin Qiye grabbed Baili Pangpang, feeling a bit of a headache: I told you to get some reasonable food, and you bring me this?

Baili Pangpang was taken aback; hot pot is very reasonable!

Lin Qiye helplessly closed his eyes.

When the steaming hot pot was placed in front of Li Deyang, he was completely petrified. Lin Qiye and the others silently took their chopsticks and sauce, sitting down beside the hot pot and starting to eat without a word.

Wait… Li Deyang said with a strange expression, where did this hot pot come from?

Caught it in the forest. Baili Pangpang said matter-of-factly.

You can catch a hot pot in the forest? Li Deyang was so angry he almost laughed; he felt his intelligence had been insulted. If you have the ability, go catch me another one!

Baili Pangpang paused with his chopsticks, stood up slowly after a moment of silence…

Three minutes later.

Li Deyang looked at the second steaming tomato beef hot pot in front of him, lost in thought…
