Chen Mu followed closely behind the three of them, carefully watching Li Duhong's every move. Bowen wanted to get some valuable information out of Li Duhong's mouth from time to time, but Li Duhong was very cunning. Taking advantage of his "youth and ignorance", the answers he gave were quite vague and absurd. On the contrary, Bowen was tricked into saying a lot of things by him, and there was no need to count on Cheng Ying. Whenever the little guy asked her any questions in an innocent tone, she would give the answer immediately.

This kid is much more powerful than he was when he was a kid! Chen Mu was secretly wary, his face always expressionless. After Li Duhong encountered a few ashes with him, she also lost patience with him. Then he pestered Cheng Ying and Bowen, asking this and that from time to time, treating Chen Mu as nothing.

The direction pointed by Li Duhong was very consistent with the direction they were heading. The four of them followed the little boy's guidance and kept moving forward. Li Duhong showed surprising qualities at this time. His physical strength was even comparable to that of an adult, and he could move freely through the jungle as calmly as he did in his own garden. He can find water sources in the shortest time, he knows what is edible and what is poisonous, and he even knows what kind of beasts may be in which area. He can use the vines to swing forward like a monkey, and his speed is not even slower than Bowen and the others.

The three of them somewhat believed that he could survive alone in the jungle. He was too familiar with the jungle. They all believe that he has lived in the jungle since he was a child, and Chen Mu is no exception. I am so familiar with the jungle only because I have lived here since I was a child.

This also surprised the three of them. In such an extremely dangerous place like the jungle, there are still people who can survive here. What do these humans living in the jungle rely on for a living? And how do they deal with those feared beasts? Or are they strong enough to survive in this dangerous area?

Bowen fell silent. For a politically sensitive nobleman, this issue naturally aroused his attention and vigilance. If the village Li Duhong mentioned really has enough masters to deal with most of the beasts in the jungle, then the three of them combined would not be enough to fill the teeth of others.

In this case, it is also very dangerous for them. In many cases, humans are more dangerous than beasts.

So, with Bowen's silence and Chen Mu's wooden look, most of the time along the way, only the laughter of Cheng Ying and Li Duhong could be heard from time to time.

"Brother Bowen, what's wrong with you?" Li Duhong opened his dark eyes wide and looked puzzled.

Bowen forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, I just thought of some questions."

"What's the problem?" Cheng Ying showed a questioning expression, and she also noticed Bowen's worried look. Although she didn't like some of Bowen's qualities, she had no doubt about his ability. What was he worried about? Is there something wrong?

Bowen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little homesick." As soon as she said this, Cheng Ying couldn't help but be silent, but she immediately smiled, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said: "It's better for me, alone, You don’t need to think about this anymore.”

Bowen was stunned and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."

Cheng Ying smiled with a hint of vicissitudes of life: "There is nothing to be sorry for. It has nothing to do with you."

She turned around and asked Chen Mu: "Chen Mu, what about you?"

"Me?" Chen Mu looked calm: "I have always been alone." When Chen Mu was very young, his parents died in a disaster. He was the only one who survived. Without any relatives, he had to make a living by scavenging. Become a member of the waif army.

Bowen didn't have a good look towards Chen Mu, and sneered: "People who come out of [Cross Night] don't even have humanity, how can they have families?" According to the Ning family's records, [Cross Night] Ka Xiu's training, Extremely cruel ability. For example, the mysterious breath gathering method requires people to live and train in an extremely dark place for a long time. Even a talented card repairer will need five years or even longer. The Kashu trained in this way are inhumane and ruthless.

The trace of black energy in Chen Mu's eyes is a typical characteristic after practicing the breath concentration method. Bowen thought that Chen Mu was a card cultivator from [Cross Night], so he said this.

Chen Mu was shocked, Bowen actually knew about [Cross Night]! What else does he know? Chen Mu turned his head nervously and stared at Bowen with burning eyes.

He had never told anyone about the mysterious card, nor had he leaked it. Where did Bowen know about [Cross Night]? Regarding [Cross Night], Chen Mu's understanding was limited to the breath gathering method. But in his heart, the mysterious card was his most important and most closely guarded secret. How could he not be surprised when someone suddenly called out the contents recorded on it?

He had checked the information, but could not find any information related to [Cross Night]. This shows that [Cross Night] is not a well-known school. How could Bowen know about [Cross Night]? Suddenly, Chen Mu thought of Bowen's repeated attempts to kill him, and Chen Mu finally understood!

Bowen wants to seize the mysterious card! Although he didn't know how Bowen knew about the mysterious card, this reason was the first thing that came to Chen Mu's mind, and it was the only reason that made sense to him. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for people to harbor sins. Not to mention the mysterious card, when he was a child, he saw many people even killing people for a piece of bread.

Things in the world are so strange. Chen Mu didn't know about the feud between Shiziye and the Ning family, and Bowen also didn't know that Chen Mu's breath-containing technique was not learned from the [Shiziye] school.

"What, you were right?" Bowen continued to sneer, full of hostility.

Chen Mu had no expression on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword, looking directly at Bowen. And Bowen stared at Chen Mu without flinching.

Cheng Ying and Li Duhong stared blankly at the tense two, they had not figured out the situation yet. Cheng Ying had long known that there was something wrong between Chen Mu and Bowen, but the unreserved outburst between the two was far beyond her expectation. She wanted to break up the fight, but after considering her own strength, she rationally remained silent. And she couldn't help but have a doubt in her heart, [Cross Night], what exactly is this [Cross Night]? Why did Chen Mu react so much when he heard this?

Li Duhong looked at the two of them curiously, with an expression of interest.

Silent and full of gunpowder.

Just when Cheng Ying and Li Duhong thought they were about to fight, they suddenly looked away and their expressions returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Li Duhong, who was ready to watch the show, opened his mouth wide and looked at the two people in astonishment. His brain was short-circuited and he couldn't figure out what was going on with these two people. Cheng Ying's tense heart finally relaxed. If the two of them fought, it would only be a lose-lose situation and no one would benefit. But thinking about it, she felt that her worries were somewhat unnecessary. Neither Bowen nor Chen Mu were impulsive people. On the contrary, they were both calm to the core. How could they let themselves get into trouble because of a quarrel? Falling into such a dangerous situation?

Chen Mu became even more silent, and Bowen suddenly became more precious than words. It took him a long time before a sentence came out of his mouth. The atmosphere in the team suddenly became heavy, and Li Duhong obediently shut her mouth and stopped asking those weird questions.

Li Duhong would collect some things from time to time. He had a bag hanging on his waist, which contained various raw materials he collected. Sometimes Cheng Ying would also collect some rarer and more precious materials. It was a very rare opportunity to enter such a deep place in the jungle. If you don't take the opportunity to collect some, how can you be worthy of yourself? If they could really get out, each of these precious raw materials would be worth a sky-high price. Now she only hates that she is not knowledgeable enough and knows too few types of precious raw materials.

Whenever this time, she would always look up and glance at Chen Mu. She really couldn't imagine how a card maker with an A-level contribution couldn't even understand the most basic raw materials? She felt weird every time she saw Chen Mu standing in front of those precious materials with an indifferent expression.

But she soon got used to it. Chen Mu was not an ordinary person no matter how he looked at it. It was normal for a genius like him to have some weird things. It would be abnormal if everything was the same as ordinary people.

Sitting in the camp, the bonfire was strong, lighting up everyone's faces. Due to the disagreement between Chen Mu and Bowen, only Cheng Ying and Li Duhong were left chatting enthusiastically. Cheng Ying likes Li Duhong very much, so if he has any questions, he will tell him patiently and in detail.

They had been walking for seven days since they met Li Duhong. However, because of the jungle guide Li Duhong, their quality of life during these seven days was drastically different from the previous period. Li Duhong has extensive experience in the jungle. He knows which game meat is delicious and where the water is sweeter. He even picks some wild fruits for Cheng Ying from time to time. The taste of these wild fruits is very sweet.

Chen Mu's attention has always been on Li Duhong. Although the little guy has been acting very normal in the past seven days, he did not dare to relax at all.

Chen Mu didn't know that while he was paying attention to Li Duhong, someone was also paying attention to him, and that was Bowen.

Bowen's heart was full of doubts, because he felt more and more that Chen Mu couldn't see through it.
