Take advantage of this suitable opportunity and try hard to find a way out.
They knew clearly in their hearts that if they didn't stay here forever, the situation would be even worse.
Just as they continued walking forward, they suddenly heard footsteps around them.
Something similar had just happened, so when something like this happened now, they were already well prepared.
Everyone glanced at the person next to them and spoke in a low voice.
"Be careful, we seem to hear footsteps."
After hearing this, the people nearby naturally understood what they should do. They moved more slowly and walked forward cautiously.
Under such circumstances, they naturally did not dare to take any excessive actions.
If they really were those Han killers, as long as they exposed their whereabouts, everything would be extremely bad.
So you have to be careful no matter what.
Qi Tiezui and Zhang Qihai on the side also exchanged glances.
Although they don't know who the people around them are, they still have to be more or less vigilant in this situation.
Little did they know that the footsteps they heard now were actually those of Er Yuehong.
Ever since he came out last time, he and Huo Sanniang have been heading towards their destination together.
Although they encountered many difficulties along the way, they finally arrived here thanks to the wisdom and intelligence of these two people.
After all, their master is also a tomb robber. In this case, they know a lot of basic facts.
They did indeed pass through the fog safely.
Moreover, the two of them have been working hard to move forward and have never given up.
That's why at this time, I finally caught up with them after rushing so hard.
It's just that they haven't met yet.
They walked in the reeds for a long time but couldn't get out. At this moment, both of them showed some worry on their faces.
Huo Sanniang couldn't help but raise her hand, gently touched the sweat on her forehead and spoke.
"What should we do now? Can we just rest here?"
After hearing this, Er Yuehong's face naturally didn't look very good.
Even though they had just encountered a lot of problems, they had managed to get through them all. They didn't expect that this patch of reeds would have delayed them for so long.
So at this moment he also sighed softly.
"We have to rest now. Have you forgotten what we just saw?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Sanniang couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
Of course she knew what Er Yuehong meant.
Just now when they passed by one of the parts, they saw a group of dead people there.
At first they really didn't notice much, but because of the hot weather, they smelled a stench of corpse.
Because they were afraid that it might be someone they knew, they couldn't help but move closer to the direction of the stench of the corpse.
But when they got closer, they finally realized that everything was not what they had imagined.
There is no one here that I know.
But even so, they could still judge that those people should have died not long ago.
The reason for the rotten smell is simply because the weather is too hot.
At the same time, they also learned one thing, that is, something uneasy must have happened here, and those people might still be involved.
It is precisely because of this that they have to be more careful, so as not to lose their lives.
If they hadn't seen those corpses, perhaps they would have rested for a while, but because of those horrific appearances, they now had to continue on their journey without stopping.
"Okay, that's what you said."
Huo Sanniang could only cheer herself up and keep moving forward.
It would be terrible if we really met some bad guys later.
Chapter 550: Self-blame
Mainly because their health is not very good to begin with.
Huo Sanniang is just a woman, how could she possibly be able to defeat a man.
Er Yuehong's body has not yet fully recovered, and it is already very difficult for him to persist until now.
If I really meet those people later and they fight head-on, these two people will naturally have no chance of winning.
It is precisely because of this that no matter what happens on the next journey, they must be more careful, and if they encounter this kind of thing, they can only escape first.
"Okay, okay, don't say so much, and don't worry too much. Let's keep moving forward, and we will definitely get out soon."
Er Yuehong raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, his tone softening a little.
At the beginning, he was indeed intentionally keeping a distance from Huo Sanniang.
Because he knew what Huo Sanniang meant to him.
But when Huo Sanniang found him and helped him escape from Changsha City and came here to look for a few Buddhist masters, his heart was indeed touched.
He was not unaware of how many difficulties he had encountered along the way.
But even so, Huo Sanniang always stayed by his side and never left him.
Although he knew that it was impossible for him to be with Huo Sanniang, he should take good care of her at this time.
After hearing this tone, Huo Sanniang seemed to finally be encouraged.
The worries that had been weighing on her mind seemed to disappear instantly at this moment. As long as Er Yuehong was with her, she seemed willing to do anything.
Even though she encountered so many difficulties along the way, she still had no complaints.
And when she encountered these difficulties, she still felt that this was a unique experience for her and Er Yuehong, something that only they had and no one else had.
When she did these things, she had already made up her mind.
So now when she encounters these things, she has no complaints in her heart.
"Okay, let's keep going down."
She firmed her eyes, nodded, and then followed Er Yuehong step by step to continue walking forward.
Just as they were walking forward, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the side.
It seemed to be still some distance away from them, but if they continued to move forward, they would probably meet it.
So at this moment the two of them immediately stopped, frowned slightly, and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"Did you hear that, Master?"
Huo Sanniang looked around vigilantly.
Er Yuehong naturally heard such a noise, so he immediately nodded, lowered his voice slightly, and spoke.
"I heard it. Let's be careful and don't leave yet."
Since Er Yuehong had already said this, she couldn't keep moving forward, so she stopped obediently and looked at the surrounding scene through the tall reeds.
She raised her hand and pushed the reeds in front of her, hoping to see something.
But the reeds here were so dense that even after she pushed them aside, she didn't see anything useful.
So at this moment, the worry in her heart couldn't help but gradually rise.
If I had known this, I should have listened to the butler and brought a few guards with me, so that I could have someone to look after me along the way.
But at the time I was afraid of being discovered by those people, so I disguised myself all the way.
Not to mention bringing any guards.
But now it seems that I should have brought a few guards with me and asked them to disguise themselves with me.
If they really encounter something now, they will be able to fight back in time, instead of like now.
"It's all my fault. I should have listened to the housekeeper at that time."
She couldn't help but shook her head slightly, with a hint of self-blame in her tone.
After hearing her say this, Er Yuehong gently shook his head and spoke to her firmly.
"It's not your fault. We didn't expect to encounter so many things along the way."
"Okay, okay, don't think too much. He may not be a bad guy. What if we run into Little Buddha later?"
Although she said so, Huo Sanniang still felt guilty about herself.
She really felt that although she had the right idea from the beginning, she had not done anything right along the way.
It was many times that Er Yuehong made the right decision.
Not only that, he really helped me a lot and saved me many times along the way.
I had originally thought that I could take better care of him along the way, but I didn't expect that in the end I would still have to let him take care of me.
So at this moment, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and felt that she was completely useless.
"I……"
She buried her head deeply and couldn't help but utter such a word.
But before she finished speaking, Er Yuehong immediately interrupted her.
"It's okay. No matter what, we can get out of here soon. Don't be too sad. If it weren't for you, I might not even be able to leave Changsha City. Let's not think too much about it now."
He also didn't want Huo Sanniang to be trapped in this bad mood.
If this is the case, it will be even more detrimental to their actions.
Huo Sanniang was a smart person, so she could naturally see how much Er Yuehong cared about this matter.
Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to look for the two Buddhas.
