Beauty and the Bodyguard

The group of people walked for more than half an hour. The sun gradually rose and it was close to noon. The fog in the dense forest dissipated. Huang Shanmao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had already seen a fork in the road not far away. As long as If there is a road, you can leave the jungle!

"Everyone, follow us, we see a way out! We will be able to leave this dense forest soon!"

Huang Shanmao smiled and waved back. He hid the joy and excitement in his heart very well. It seemed as if everything was under control and he had expected the intersection ahead.

As he spoke, Huang Shimao lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the Black Spirit Horse accelerated slightly. In a blink of an eye, it came to a fork in the road. Others followed suit and stopped the Black Spirit Horse at the intersection.

"Boss Huang, which direction are we going?"

Jin Ziduo frowned slightly and looked at Huang Shanmao: "There are three directions here. If you choose the wrong one, it will not only be a detour, but you will probably waste another day or two before getting back on track."

He also felt the increase in Lin Yi's reputation. Compared to Lin Yi, Jin Ziduo definitely hoped that Huang Shanmao could continue to be in charge of everything, so he subconsciously wanted to remind him not to be careless.

Huang Shanmao nodded slightly, looked at the fork in the road and said, "It's said to be three directions, but in fact it's just two directions. If I'm not mistaken, this is the road leading to Fallen Star Town. We definitely can't go back. .”

"So there are only two other roads to choose. One of them is wider and has more footprints, so it should be a normal road. The other one has very few traces and looks like a temporary trail, so we take A road with many traces!"

Huang Shanmao pointed in the chosen direction, full of confidence!

In fact, there was no road in the dense forest. It was only because of the large number of people walking that a road was trampled. After many years of walking, such a natural track was formed.

The previous experience should be the most reasonable route in the dense forest, so Huang Shanmao believes that his choice will definitely not be wrong!

Others didn't have any objections. Chi Dao didn't know. Anyway, there were obvious traces of the road in the dense forest. It shouldn't be wrong to follow it.

Lao Liu didn't want to oppose Huang Shanmao, but he happened to stop next to Lin Yi and asked casually: "Vice Captain Sima, what do you think? Boss Huang made the right choice, right?"

Others on the side looked at Lin Yi: "Yes, Vice Captain Sima, what do you think?"

"Vice Captain Sima, do you think there is any problem?"

"Vice Captain Sima..."

For a while, everyone asked Lin Yi's opinion. It was not that they doubted Huang Shanmao, but that everyone else had asked Lin Yi. If they didn't ask, they would look a little special. What if Lin Yi misunderstood and looked down on Lin Yi? ?

Therefore, it is better to kill someone by mistake than let it go. Coupled with the herd mentality, it seems like you will suffer a loss without asking a question!

Before Lin Yi could answer, Huang Shanmao couldn't bear it anymore.

He has already made his decision, and these damn bastards are still asking Sima Zhongda, what do you mean? Do you look down on me?

"That's enough! Shut up!"

Huang Shanmao shouted in a low voice, which really shocked the team members: "Didn't you hear what I just said? Let's choose this path! Who among you has any objection to me? Just stand up!"

Stand up and I will chop you to death immediately!

Everyone around Lin Yi was silent. No matter how powerful Lin Yi was, he was a new member of the team and could not be compared with Huang Shanmao. For so long, Huang Shanmao had already established himself as the boss in their hearts. This kind of When the time comes, the veteran players will definitely choose to support Huang Shanmao instinctively.

In this way, naturally no one will jump at it!

Huang Shanmao glanced around coldly and snorted softly: "Remember, I am the captain of the team. After I make a decision, I hope you can implement it well instead of directly confronting me without listening to anything." Express doubts!"

"Now that I say we should take this path, I will take this path. There is nothing more to say! Vice Captain Sima, do you think what I say makes sense?"

In the end, Huang Shanmao gave Lin Yi a nod. He was indeed wary of Lin Yi's strength and didn't want to fall out with Lin Yi, but at this time, he still had to show off what should be shown!

He thought that Lin Yi would borrow the donkey from the slope, and everyone was so nice to each other, but Lin Yi didn't appreciate it at all and shook his head directly: "I'm sorry, Boss Huang, I don't agree with your choice. I think you should take that route." A small road is more suitable!”

Huang Shanmao's face turned dark immediately. He felt that Lin Yi was deliberately challenging his captain's authority!

"Vice Captain Sima, can you tell me the reason? After all, it is related to the safety and time of the entire team! Our time is very tight now and we can't waste it anymore!"

Huang Shanmao was afraid of Lin Yi's strength. Although he was unhappy, he still suppressed his anger and reasoned with Lin Yi with a cold face: "The road I chose is probably the same road we took when we entered the dense forest. , instead of taking the right path, why take the side road?"

Lin Yi smiled calmly and said: "Boss Huang, you misunderstood! I chose that path just for the safety of our team and to save time."

"Do you think the larger one is the Chi Road where people come and go? I can't see it! There are many traces of animals on that road. If you are not wrong, this is not what we are looking for. Chi Dao is, on the contrary, the route where dark monsters and dark spirit beasts gather together to move."

"This dense forest area does not necessarily have only the Night Demon wolves. Powerful beasts have their own territories, but the concept of territory is only valid for beasts of the same level. Those who are weaker will also survive in various areas."

"And more powerful beasts will also not care about the territories of weaker beasts. For a strong man, his territory will include the territories of several weaker beasts, and they will all be his hunting grounds!"

"So we cannot rule out that there will be a clan of dark monsters in this area that are more powerful than the night demon wolves. Walking on the obvious path of beasts is not only dangerous, but also wastes more time!"

The people on the side thought it made sense and nodded secretly in their hearts, but Huang Shanmao didn't think so.

If he is easily persuaded by Lin Yi and acts according to Lin Yi's words, his role as captain will really come to an end. Even if he is not dismissed, he will definitely be sidelined.

Huang Shanmao doesn't want his prestige to fall to the bottom!

"What Deputy Captain Sima said makes sense, but I still insist that this road is the Chi Road we took before! As for the traces you mentioned, it's very simple! We will also leave traces when we ride on the Black Spirit Horse. !”

What Huang Shanmao said is correct. The black spirit horse itself is also a kind of dark spirit beast. It is just tamed and used as a human mount.
