A few people could only give up when they saw this. The burly man leading them looked at Yu Daochen again, "This young brother looks a bit unfamiliar. Could he be Xiao Lei's boyfriend?"
Tang Lei quickly explained, "Uncle Yang, you've misunderstood. This young man is also coming up the mountain. Seeing that he was alone, I invited him to share the fire."
The burly man awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, young man. Please don't mind."
Yu Daochen waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing."
The burly man began to introduce himself, "My name is Yang Luanri. The three next to me are Peng Zhenge, Zheng Zuosheng, and Ma Yunting."
Yu Daochen nodded and introduced himself as well, "My humble name is Yu Daochen."
Just as they were chatting, three more figures walked in from outside.
"Why are so many people coming up the mountain today?" Yang Luanri said, turning his head to look.
He saw three women standing at the entrance, not daring to come in.
Yu Daochen's face turned pale when he saw the three women. He shouted to Tang Quan beside him, "Xiao Quan, give me back the Kanglong Jian."
Tang Quan looked at Yu Daochen's serious expression with confusion. He handed over the Kanglong Jian and then looked at the three women at the entrance, his eyes shining. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"These three older sisters are so beautiful."
Tang Jilin's face darkened as he looked at the three women. He reached for the hunting rifle on the ground and shouted to Tang Quan and Tang Lei, "You two, hide behind me."
Yang Luanri also had a serious expression, his gaze fixed on the three women.
He had heard from the older generation that there were two things they feared most on the mountain.
Daughters and wild cats.
Encountering wild boars and wolves was nothing. Three shots would either kill them or scare them away.
"Are you three young ladies also here to pick ginseng?"
Zheng Zuosheng said as he got up to greet them, but Yang Luanri pulled him back, "Sit down."
Peng Zhenge next to him looked confused, "Brother Yang, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Ma Yunting also chimed in, "Yes, let's let the three young ladies in first. They'll catch a cold if they keep standing in the rain like this."
"Have you forgotten what the elders told you?"
Yang Luanri glared at the three of them unhappily and then looked at the three women outside, "You three young ladies are probably not from our village, right?"
The woman in the middle nodded and said anxiously, "We're all here to explore the mountain, but one of our companions suddenly got separated. We saw the firelight here and came to seek help."
Seeing this, Yang Luanri tentatively said, "Why don't you three come in first?"
The three women looked at Yu Daochen, whose face was grim, and were a bit scared to go in.
To be precise, they were afraid of the Kanglong Jian in his hand.
The woman began to plead, "Brothers, please help me find my companion. I'll repay you in any way you want."
Yang Luanri and the others could tell that there was something wrong with these three women, and they all dared not go out.
"Please, brothers!"
A hint of pink light flashed in the eyes of the three women, and a fragrance wafted in.
Yang Luanri pinched his nose and looked at the three people beside him, "Don't smell this scent."
Tang Lei sniffed and frowned, "Why does it smell like body odor?"
"It smells so good," Tang Quan beside him sniffed, becoming infatuated. His body involuntarily started to stand up.
Seeing this, Tang Jilin slapped Tang Quan hard on the head.
*Slap!*
Tang Quan cried out in pain and turned to look at Tang Jilin, confused, "Grandpa, why are you hitting me?"
Tang Jilin glared fiercely and then looked at Yu Daochen, "Young man, these three women are likely monsters. Be careful not to smell this fragrance."
Yu Daochen smiled faintly and nodded without speaking.
It seemed this old man had encountered this situation before.
The youngest, Zheng Zuosheng, accidentally took a whiff and his eyes immediately became dazed. He stood up and walked towards the door.
Yang Luanri beside him wanted to stop Zheng Zuosheng, but Zheng Zuosheng's strength was too great, and Yang Luanri was afraid to step forward and intervene, so he could only worry.
Zheng Zuosheng walked out step by step. The three women showed ferocious smiles and licked their tongues.
Just as Zheng Zuosheng was about to walk out, Yu Daochen appeared behind him and slapped his shoulder hard.
Zheng Zuosheng shivered and returned to normal. He cried out in fear as he looked at the ferocious expressions of the three women.
Yu Daochen shook his head helplessly, suddenly grabbed Zheng Zuosheng's shoulder, and threw him towards Yang Luanri and the others as if he were a chick.
Yang Luanri and the others looked at Yu Daochen with shock.
Zheng Zuosheng had been going into the mountains with his elders since he was young and was very sturdy, but he was easily thrown by the young man in front of him.
Yu Daochen looked at the three women outside with a grim expression, "Beasts, how dare you not scram when you know I'm here."
The woman in the middle's expression turned ugly, but she still pretended to look wronged, "I don't know what you're talking about, young man."
"Oh, really?" Yu Daochen chuckled and raised the Kanglong Jian, sweeping it out.
Seeing this, the three women jumped backward, agile like cats.
Yu Daochen thrust the Kanglong Jian into the ground in front of the door and said, "Stay inside, don't come out!"
The rain had lessened considerably.
Yu Daochen stepped out and looked at the three foxes who had revealed their true forms, disdainfully saying, "So, you're three fox spirits."
One of the fox spirits stared fiercely at Yu Daochen and spoke in human language, "I have no enmity with you, why do you want to ruin our good deed?"
Yu Daochen chuckled contemptuously, "Isn't it my duty to subdue demons and eliminate evil?"
"Then you can't blame us."
The three fox spirits got into a ready stance to attack.
Yu Daochen stretched his muscles and looked disdainful.
It seemed these three beasts only had two hundred years of cultivation, or even less.
Their human forms earlier were just illusions.
Dealing with them was like a puppy gnawing on a bone, effortless.
One of the fox spirits leaped up and clawed at Yu Daochen.
Yu Daochen dodged easily by sidestepping, then grabbed its tail and punched the other fox spirit's head.
*Bang!*
The fox spirit took the punch, which was as big as a sandbag, directly to the head and was sent flying, spitting blood.
The other fox spirit seized the opportunity and pounced. Yu Daochen chuckled and suddenly kicked out.
The fox spirit was sent flying backward by the kick and crashed into a tree, unable to get up.
Yu Daochen's movements were clean and swift, without any hesitation, showing the demeanor of a master.
The middle fox spirit, seeing that it couldn't win, turned to flee.
"You came, but you want to leave? It's not that easy." As soon as Yu Daochen finished speaking, he stomped on the ground and chased after it, reaching out to grab the beast.
Seeing this, the fox spirit lifted its rear and let out a puff of yellow gas.
Yu Daochen braced himself on the ground and performed a somersault in the air, dodging the yellow gas.
The fox spirit ran away quickly. Yu Daochen landed, his hands moving swiftly, and picked up a stone, shooting it out.
