Chapter 129 Going to the Thornfield
Eric also volunteered. Along the way, the wind howled and the snow raged, blurring their vision.
"Everyone needs to be careful. We not only need to find Xue Lan, but we also need to protect ourselves."
Xia Gu spoke with great conviction, because everyone was facing a very difficult situation.
In addition, the jungle in the wild is inherently fraught with all sorts of dangers.
Sure enough, on their journey to find Xue Lan, they were constantly attacked by all sorts of ferocious beasts.
When they encountered the massive Icefield Mammoth, Eric assisted Xuanli, who quickly switched to full horse form.
With her astonishing strength and speed, Xuan Li dodged the mammoth's attacks time and time again, and seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
Xia Gu helped from the side, using the same moves no matter what Xuan Li did.
Faced with this double blow, the mammoth truly had no way to withstand it.
This battle was barely completed, but Xia Gu gained a deeper understanding of Xuan Li's energy manipulation.
"Xuan Li, I never expected that you would be able to do this after you advanced in rank."
Xia Gu was also somewhat moved, because if Xuan Li really had this ability, then Xia Gu would no longer have to worry about anything.
If any danger arises, Xuan Li can go directly to the scene, allowing Xuan Li to rest properly.
Xuan Li was indeed very happy to hear this, as it was already quite an achievement to have reached this point.
"I'm glad it helped you, Xiaxia. Following our direction, we'll be crossing a thorny valley soon."
Xuan Li looked at Xia Gu with some worry, realizing they still needed to carefully consider the journey ahead.
Otherwise, there will definitely be more problems later, so it's better to discuss it in advance.
Upon hearing this, Xia Gu frowned, and Eric beside her also felt worried.
"When I was a wandering orc, that thorny valley injured a lot of orcs. Many orcs went in and never came out."
"Moreover, those thin people didn't go in voluntarily; they got lost after entering that place, so this kind of thing is very likely to happen."
"We need to think carefully about whether we should take this road or not. Maybe we should take a detour, otherwise it's too dangerous."
Eric said it immediately, not wanting to complicate things further.
If there are indeed many problems when the time comes, it won't be a good thing for me.
Xia Gu shook her head. After all, there was already the scent of snow here. If she gave up now, she might miss some important clues.
"What if Xue Lan is in this thicket of thorns? We have to go in. Or let me go in alone. I already have Xuan Li's power, I'm sure I can do it."
Xia Gu spoke very firmly, and he was already very familiar with this situation, so there was no need to worry about anything else.
Moreover, Xia Gu really didn't want to burden so many people, so it was best for her to go in alone under these circumstances.
"No, you can't go alone. If you really go alone, we'll feel so guilty. We don't agree to that."
Xuan Li shook his head, still looking at Xia Gu with a serious expression; this was not feasible.
"If we're going in, let's go in together. It's just a matter of money. We'll figure out the direction slowly, there won't be any problems."
Xuan Li said this very firmly; he just wanted to stay by Xia Gu's side and protect her.
Xia Gu nodded immediately upon hearing this. Since everyone was willing, there was no need to waste any more words.
Just keep doing it this way, and don't worry about anything else.
They soon entered the thicket of thorns, with Xia Gu and Xuan Li taking the lead.
Once inside the thicket of thorns, they could feel all sorts of needles pricking them, which was extremely painful for them.
But no matter what, they had to hold back in order to find Xue Lan, and Eric was very worried about Xia Gu's condition.
"Goddess, why don't you hide in my arms for now, and come out after we leave this thicket of thorns?"
"That way, at least we can be guaranteed that only I will get hurt, and you won't."
Eric is genuinely sincere about this, otherwise it would be too worrying.
Xia Gu also felt that Eric's worries were somewhat unnecessary, and there was no need to do that at all.
"It's okay, I can bear it. It's just some superficial injuries. You know, I've endured much more than this department before."
During the apocalypse, Xia Gu suffered many injuries, in addition to being an experimental subject.
All sorts of horrific experiments were performed on her, and she could never forget them now.
So these pains were nothing to her, and Eric admired Xia Gu's courage even more.
"Alright, let's not drag this out any longer. Xiaxia, we seem to be a bit lost. It's too dark here, I can't see the road at all, and I don't know if we've been going around in circles."
Xuan Li said this to Xia Gu with concern. Although Xuan Li's experience could help him determine direction, there seemed to be marsh gas and fog here.
The dense thicket of thorns with low visibility really stumped Xuan Li.
"Just listen to the sound, don't look with your eyes. Right now, your eyes are useless to us. Closing your eyes can also prevent those 'spirit insects' from harming our eyes."
“Your hearing is better. We can close our eyes and listen carefully. We’ll definitely be able to get out of this thicket of thorns.”
Although they have always felt that they are moving forward, there is still some uncertainty.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Xuan Li slowly closed his eyes, calmly analyzing the situation.
He still held a sharp blade in his hand, and as he walked forward, he carved out a new path.
In this way, those following behind will not be harmed by thorns, and a great deal of superficial injuries can be avoided.
Xia Gu followed behind, constantly observing the surroundings. All she needed to do was make sure no wild animals would suddenly appear.
It would also be good to check if Xue Lan was nearby, which was something that Xia Gu was quite afraid of.
If Xue Lan's figure is indeed seen in the thorn bushes, wouldn't that prove that Xue Lan has been completely killed?
