Chapter 607 Who Dug This Trap?

ack.""Only last night did I discover that my space can store preserved food, so I changed my mind and decided to store them all up. I'll keep them for later and eat them slowly. That's much better tha...Zongyu patted his younger brother's shoulder.

"I've made up my mind, your sister-in-law's safety is now in your hands."

He handed Zong Bai the dagger he had carried with him for many years as he spoke.

Then, in a hurried whisper, he instructed, “While I’ve been out hunting these past few days, I’ve also made several marks along the way in the woods. Follow the marks I left, and with your intelligence, you’ll surely find your way down.”

I will lead those people in the opposite direction, so you can leave safely.

"Go now."

"What about you"

"It's rare for Zongyu to smile at his younger brother, but he did so now. 'Once those people are dealt with, I'll be back,' he said. 'Don't you trust your elder brother's abilities'"

After some hesitation, Zong Bai finally nodded.

"I believe in you, big brother. You must eliminate all these treacherous foreign spies! Let them know that our Great Xi is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, not so easy to invade."

Zong Yu smiled again, pushing Zong Bai outwards.

"Go."

Zong Bai took one last look at his elder brother, then turned and chased after Fang Xi who was leaving with Fang Jinxiu.

As they left, Zong Yu's smile vanished instantly. His figure flickered and disappeared into the vast expanse of snow.

Zong Bai quickly caught up with Fang Jinxiu and Yulian, and along the way, he also saw the marks left by his elder brother.

Fang Jinshu was not wandering around aimlessly with Yu Lian. She was quite clever and had been collecting herbs in the woods these past few days, remembering some of the paths.

Yulian saw her second brother catching up, and she kept glancing back at him.

"Second brother, why are you the only one here Where's the eldest brother Did he really go to find those enemy spies"

Zong Bai hurriedly told Yu Lian to be quiet. She was really poking the hornet's nest, not seeing that her sister-in-law was already in a bad mood.

Jade Lotus sulked, closing her mouth but her gaze kept darting back. Does Big Brother really not care about his sister-in-law

Zong Bai then walked to Fang Jinxiu's side. He wanted to say a few good words for his elder brother and persuade her, he didn't want his elder brother and sister-in-law to hurt their marital relationship because of this.

"Sister-in-law," he had just opened his mouth, when suddenly Fang Jinyu covered his mouth with one hand.

"Shh, be quiet."

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly pulled Zong Bo and Yu Lian behind a tree, staring intently at the forest ahead.

Zong Bai noticed the atmosphere was off and whispered, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong"

Fang Jinshi whispered, "There are beasts ahead."

The younger siblings behind him felt a jolt of fear. No way, had they just run into a beast after parting ways with their older brother

Isn't it said that wild animals generally don't come out to forage on snowy days

Fang Jinxiu was on edge. With Zong Yu away, she, as the elder sister-in-law, felt a duty to protect Jade Lotus and Zong Bai.

In the vastness of space, she silently retrieved a silver needle from her pocket and held it delicately between her fingertips.

Silver needles are small and quite effective against humans, but their effectiveness against beasts is unknown.

Even so, she never considered retreating.

"You all stay quiet. If the beast finds us later and runs this way, Zong Bai, you take Yu Lian and run first."

>

"I've got silver needles in my hand. You've all seen how skilled my sister-in-law is with them. Even beasts have meridians, and she can manipulate them perfectly."

"If you don't run, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you and might even hold me back."

Zong Burtston paused and said nothing, apparently persuaded.

"Then, sister-in-law, you really won't be in any danger"

"Okay, I'll take Yu Lian to hide somewhere and won't hold you back, but we won't leave you alone to run away either."

Fang Jinshu's heart warmed, but she felt a bit helpless.

"I'm sure I'll be fine, just go ahead and run."

Even though she said that, Zong Bo's eyes didn't look like they were going to listen.

She had no choice but to give up, and prayed that these beasts weren't some dangerous species. If they were, she hoped they would just go around them.

But it seemed as if heaven hadn't heard her prayer.

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she heard footsteps approaching them.

Fang Jinxiu couldn't climb trees, she could only nervously clench the silver needles in her hand.

Just as the footsteps grew louder, she was about to make a move. Suddenly, there was a thump, like something falling into a pit.

Next came the wails of the animals.

Fang Jinshu hurried to clear the weeds in front of her with a long wooden stick. She saw a trap less than a meter away!

A deer had fallen into the trap and was struggling violently. Its limbs were pierced by sharp wooden spikes, and a spike was embedded in its neck, blood trickling out.

Even without further reinforcement, this robe wouldn't last long.

"It's alright, you two come out."

Fang Jinxiu put away her silver needles and quickly called Zong Bo over to help her pull out the little bird.

Since the prey is right in front of us, don't let it go to waste.

But who dug this trap If it were Zong Yu who dug it in advance, he would definitely tell them.erhaps shouldn't have mentioned Wang DajiuWhy shouldn't it be mentioned, Yulian couldn't figure it out. She obediently listened to her sister-in-law's words and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch....
