After Ye Wuji finished speaking, the little fox’s gaze followed him.
However, the little fox opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
But in fact, regarding the addition of another person to call Ye Tiancheng "Big Brother" with him, the little fox was a little bit upset, of course, only a little bit.
He wasn't completely clueless.
Ye Wuji also secretly glanced at the little fox. Seeing that the little fox had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the little fox had any objections, he wouldn't have dared to be so bold.
As for the undercurrent between these two youngsters, Ye Tiancheng was completely unaware and hadn't noticed at all. These two were also quite sensible and wouldn't really get into pointless arguments over such matters.
Ye Tiancheng also didn't pay attention to Ye Wuji's quiet change in address.
However, to be honest, the two people below him who called him Big Brother were actually older than him, one after another. Even with Ye Tiancheng’s two lifetimes combined, he was younger than them. Yet, these two called him Big Brother.
It was as if his generation had been elevated for no reason.
However, if one were to really count, Ye Tiancheng couldn't possibly call them brothers.
After listening to what Ye Wuji had said, Ye Tiancheng nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, at least before today, we need to leave as soon as possible."
The little fox could only say, "Alright then, shall we go now… I wonder if our future selves would find a way to leave clues for ourselves?"
This statement was a slight reminder to Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng pondered for a moment, then beckoned to the little fox and Ye Wuji, and they immediately set off.
The little fox and Ye Wuji, one person and one bird, didn't know what Ye Tiancheng intended to do, but they still immediately followed Ye Tiancheng and left with him.
Ye Tiancheng walked around outside, trying to find some clues.
Unfortunately, after walking around like this, Ye Tiancheng gained nothing and could only return with regret.
However, Ye Tiancheng quickly figured something out.
Leaving markers was useless because there was only one day. Therefore, unless something was happening and was seen with one's own eyes, and there was an overlap, then a marker could be used to convey clues.
However, if such an overlap occurred, it wouldn't be a good thing.
This would meet the standard for causing trouble, and Ye Tiancheng felt that he was unlikely to do such a foolish thing.
Wouldn't that be asking for trouble and unnecessarily increasing the difficulty for himself?
If there were any clues, then it was likely that they would be in Luoqi Mountain.
As for where exactly, it might require some observation and choosing a suitable time node. To be precise, it should be said that at that time node and location, it needed to be ensured that the overlap did not occur more than twice.
Only in this way could transmitting information be a safe matter.
Thinking this, Ye Tiancheng no longer delayed and immediately took the little fox and Ye Wuji with him, heading directly out of the village.
Fortunately, the path to Luoqi Mountain, although Ye Wuji was not clear about it.
After all, Ye Wuji didn't even know about the existence of Luoqi Mountain, let alone how to navigate there.
Ye Wuji indeed didn't know the way, but when he found the clue about the fragment of the Fuxi Qin, it mentioned Luoqi Mountain and also how to get there, only the entrance to Luoqi Mountain needed to be found by themselves.
With a map, this would be easier.
Ye Tiancheng and the others had also left records, taking photos on their phones, etc. At this time, they could directly bring up the map and follow it to proceed.
The little fox asked, "Which way now?"
Ye Tiancheng studied the map for a while, compared it with the directions, then pointed in a direction and replied to the little fox, "It should be this way."
The little fox nodded and said, "Mm."
"Then let's set off quickly."
Because the village was located in a remote area, the outskirts of the village were all forests, and the place they were going to, Luoqi Mountain, was even more remote and was originally a mountain.
Therefore, even with the map guiding them, they could only roughly follow the direction and then ventured into a forest.
There were no paths in the forest.
Especially the deeper they went, the fewer traces of human activity there were, let alone paths.
They had to take out their daggers and cut through the thorns and branches along the way to clear a path for themselves to continue.
As they went deeper into the forest, the sky gradually grew darker.
Ye Wuji had no such experience before. Although he had been captured and confined in a tomb before, he had never experienced traveling at night in the dark, especially in such a deserted forest.
Walking in the forest, they could even hear the roars of wild beasts.
He was a little scared.
Ye Wuji asked Ye Tiancheng, "We've already reached this place, can't we stop and rest for a bit? It's too dark now."
Ye Tiancheng glanced at Ye Wuji.
He sensed that Ye Wuji's mood was a little off. After thinking about it, he decided to be considerate and said, "Then let's find a more open place to stop and rest."
Ye Wuji's heart relaxed, and he immediately felt a little more at ease.
The three of them quickly cleared out a relatively open space. This was really unavoidable; in such deserted places, there were weeds and trees everywhere, and open spaces were rare.
Ye Tiancheng set up a tent and began to pitch it, preparing to camp.
At the same time, he instructed the little fox to collect some firewood to start a bonfire. If they encountered any wild beasts, seeing the flames would make them somewhat wary.
With their strength, they wouldn't be afraid of any wild beasts.
However, if wild beasts kept bothering them while they slept, it would indeed be a very troublesome matter, so it was better to take preventive measures in advance.
The little fox agreed and said to Ye Tiancheng, "I'll go find some now, and I'll be back soon."
Ye Tiancheng, without looking back, just agreed to the little fox.
He said, "Be careful, come back quickly, and remember to be safe."
The little fox replied, "I know!"
Soon, the little fox left the camp alone, while Ye Wuji stayed by Ye Tiancheng's side.
The little fox didn't dare to go too far to find firewood.
Otherwise, if something happened, it would be difficult for them to look out for each other.
It wasn't difficult to find some firewood in the forest, so the little fox quickly collected a lot of dry branches.
Unexpectedly, on his way back, the little fox suddenly heard a crisp crunching sound under his feet.
He seemed to have stepped on something.
The little fox instinctively took a step back and stepped on a branch again.
The little fox lost his balance, leaning back, and the dry branches he had collected scattered all over the ground, and he himself fell to the ground.
Before he could react, he suddenly felt his ankle tighten.
Something wrapped around his ankle. The little fox looked down and found a vine as thick as his wrist tightly wrapped around his ankle. Then, the vine actually moved, pulling him back forcefully, and then lifting him up. The little fox was quickly pulled backward.
He was directly dragged away by the vine.
Fortunately, it wasn't the first time he had encountered danger, and the little fox reacted extremely quickly. He immediately took out his talismans, regardless of their function, and slapped a handful of them onto the vine.
After all, at such a critical juncture, the little fox didn't have time to determine the origin of the vine that had entangled him, what it was, or how to deal with it.
For a moment, there were sparks flying, a small-scale downpour, and even lightning and thunder.
It was enough to show how many good things the little fox had taken out in his panic and haste to save his life.
Under such an offensive, the vine naturally couldn't resist.
It was directly torn to shreds.
The little fox, still shaken, took a breath and soon heard someone calling his name.
He concentrated and listened, realizing it was Ye Tiancheng calling him.
The little fox immediately responded.
Soon, Ye Tiancheng arrived, and the moment he saw the little fox, Ye Tiancheng immediately asked, "What's wrong? I suddenly heard a very loud commotion from your side, as if you were fighting something. Little fox, are you alright?"
The little fox was still a little dazed. Hearing Ye Tiancheng's question, he pointed at the mangled vine.
Then, the little fox replied to Ye Tiancheng, "I'm fine, just a little startled…"
"But just now, I stepped on something that seemed like a branch and tripped. Then this vine suddenly wrapped around my ankle and pulled me back. I was in a hurry, and fortunately, I had a lot of defensive items on me. I didn't bother to observe what it was and just used them all."
Ye Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and then said to the little fox, "It's good that you're alright."
The little fox recovered his senses. Now that he had Ye Tiancheng protecting him, he felt much more at ease and even had the energy to complain.
"This thing seems alive. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been finished. I don't know what this thing is."
Ye Tiancheng's brows furrowed tightly as he looked at the remains of the vine on the ground.
He was silent for a while before speaking sternly, "I didn't expect there to be such things in this place. Then, we'll have to be more careful from now on. We need to be vigilant to avoid any accidents."
The little fox and Ye Wuji both nodded repeatedly.
It wasn't that they were so forgetful that they would still stay here after encountering an accident.
But it was already very dark, and they didn't know how far this thing could spread. At this time, packing up the tent and moving to another place to rest was neither very convenient nor very meaningful.
Ye Tiancheng protected the little fox and Ye Wuji and immediately walked back.
Since they knew there was danger here, it was best to return to the camp quickly, set up a barrier, and make do with resting for the night.
After being protected by Ye Tiancheng for a few steps, the little fox suddenly stopped.
Ye Tiancheng asked the little fox with some surprise, "What is it again?"
The little fox seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. He looked at Ye Tiancheng and then said to Ye Tiancheng, "The firewood I picked up all fell because of what just happened."
Ye Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then rubbed the little fox's head.
Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox, "It's just firewood, what's the big deal? The three of us can go pick some more together."
