Chapter 54: Hostile Enemies

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Shao looked at his younger brother who had red eyes and a sad expression for a while, and then looked at other people who had the same expression as Xiao Han. Seeing them weeping and mourning for Xu Xiang, he became angry for no reason.

He frowned, feeling something pressing against his chest making it difficult for him to breathe. The uncomfortable feeling made his already cold face even colder. He didn’t understand his own bad mood and feelings, so he just nodded at Xiao Han, then walked to the mule cart.

As a former supreme general who went to the battlefield at the age of ten, he has lost countless companions and subordinates over the years. But he never had this suffocating feeling when he saw them die in front of him. Sitting in the mule cart driver’s seat, he looked at his empty left side for a long time.

After staring at the empty seat for a while, his eyes darkened. Turning his eyes away from that empty seat, he shook the reins of the mule in his hand. As they left the deep ravine, he glanced back one last time. No one knew what he was thinking under his cold expression.

At the bottom of the ravine, Xu Xiang was still busy collecting ore samples. She walked slowly, while scanning the surroundings with the detector. Whenever a new ore is discovered, she will collect some as samples and put them in her space.

The sun slowly climbed into the sky as she walked and collected samples. Without the sun as a timer, she doesn’t know the exact time. It wasn’t until her stomach growled with hunger that she stopped and went into her own space.

In her space, she washed her dusty body first, and then went to the gazebo not far from the lake. With a thought, she took out a barbecue rack, barbecue sauce, barbecue tools, a pack of coal, a lighter and a pack of assorted barbecue ingredients from the warehouses. With dexterous movements, she prepared the ingredients and skewered them.

It didn’t take long before she started grilling meat and skewers. A minute after the kebabs are put on the barbeque rack, she smears them with barbeque sauce and grills them for another few minutes. After a few minutes, she picked up a piece of meat with tongs, dipped it in chili sauce and put it in her mouth.

"Mhm~ Delicious."

While eating and drinking, she suddenly thought of Xiao Shao. Looking at the hot and fragrant meat, she sighed.

"It’s a pity that he will never try this. If we ever meet again, I will let him try."

Xu Xiang ate another piece of grilled meat, put down the tongs, and muttered: "... Eating alone is not fun."

Now that she lost her appetite, she packed up the rest of the food and drink, cleaned the barbeque rack and the pavilion, then left the space again. As soon as the soles of her feet touched the ground, she felt cold on the back of her neck. The body’s reaction was faster than her mind, as she bent over to dodge to the side.

Bam!

"Cough, cough!"

Xu Xiang coughed a few times due to the dust floating around from the impact. She raised her head and scanned the surroundings with night vision glasses. In the next second, red dots appeared on the mini map on the night vision glasses, and a prompt message appeared on the screen.

[Warning! Hostile Mutated Beasts Detected!]

She looked around vigilantly, and the message kept flashing on the corner of the night vision glasses screen. Xu Xiang drew her sword and got up from the ground, as she stepped back until her back touched the ravine wall. When the dust settled, there was still no movement, and no mutated beasts were seen.

’Where are they? Do I have to lure them out of their hiding place?’

Her mind was running fast and she was always on guard. Thirty minutes passed and nothing happened. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own heartbeat. After another thirty minutes, the corners of her lips curled up.

’It seems that these mutated beasts are quite smart. Then let’s see who has better patience.’

After thinking for a few seconds, she sheathed her sword and took out four thunder cores from the space. Xu Xiang took a few steps away from the wall, and placed the thunder cores on the ground, forming a square. Then she pressed the button on her hand, activating the thunder core.

Wung~ wung~

When the four thunder cores are activated, lightning forms between the cores, forming a cage made of lightning. This thunder core was specially designed by her to catch mutant beasts or trap zombies. She never knew, she would use them in this primordial world instead of her original world. With an expressionless face, Xu Xiang sat cross-legged on the ground calmly inside the lightning cage.

She knew that those mutant beasts were still there, because the warning on the night vision glasses was still there. While she was waiting for the mutated beasts to attack, the people hiding around became impatient.

One of the women touched her giant wolf’s head and said, "We have been waiting for two hours. We should just do it."

A man riding the largest giant wolf raised his hand and calmly said, "Wait."

The woman pouted her lips when she heard what he said, but said nothing. Time passed slowly as each side waited for the other to make the first move. They waited until the sun set and the moon hung in the night sky.

Without the faint sunlight, the surroundings fell into complete darkness. Seeing that Xu Xiang was asleep, the man raised his hand and whispered: "Move!"

As soon as they came out, Xu Xiang opened her eyes. The giant wolves surround the lightning cage as she keeps her head down. She glanced at those who rode tall and mighty wolves and observed them calmly.
