Chapter 2506

Baili Xia could tell that this voice was different from the one she heard last night; it seemed to be another group of black-clad searchers.

Although the cave entrance was covered with branches by Baili Xia earlier.

But, the abilities of these black-clad individuals are not to be underestimated.

Anyone else might accidentally miss it.

But not them; as soon as they get close, they will definitely discover this cave.

“Yes.” Two people responded in unison and soon a rustling sound was heard.

It seemed those two people had left, but the man who spoke first should still be here.

“You and I will search over there.” As expected, his voice came through.

“Yes.”

Baili Xia kept her gaze fixed on the cave entrance, pointing her bracelet in the direction a person could enter.

She only felt her heartbeat racing several times faster than usual, barely daring to breathe.

Outside the cave, there wasn’t a single sound.

Could it be that those people just left like that?

Baili Xia worried, slowly crouching toward the cave entrance.

Just as she moved, suddenly, her hand was grabbed.

Baili Xia let out a low gasp, turning her head back, her gaze fell on Wu Ming.

Wu Ming suddenly grabbed her hand, genuinely startling her.

His eyes were open, but lacked the usual gleam.

He was already so weak, yet his alertness was still so high.

“Wu Ming, they’ve come. I’ll go check.”

“Don’t go.” A gruff voice came, as if he were enduring tremendous pain.

One could imagine that Wu Ming’s throat must be quite uncomfortable right now.

Baili Xia felt a pang of guilt; she should have brought more water back earlier, as that’s what Wu Ming needs the most.

Suddenly remembering something, she looked to the ground beside her and picked up two fruits.

She wiped them on her clothing and handed them to Wu Ming.

“You eat some fruit first.”

Wu Ming took the fruit, looking down at it.

The light inside the cave was very dim, but with his eyesight he could still make out this juicy fruit.

“What kind of fruit is this? Is it edible?” He asked, visibly skeptical.

Baili Xia nodded, saying, “I don’t know either, but it’s okay, I’ve tested it with a silver needle, no poison.”

Wu Ming raised an eyebrow, a hint of warmth crossing his eyes.

This girl, she thinks things through so thoroughly, even testing it first.

“From now on, don’t test it yourself first.” His heart was warm, but his expression remained cold.

Clearly a touch of reproach.

Baili Xia murmured, pouting a little, “We have to find something to eat.”

“Then bring it back for me to test.” The tone allowing no doubt, “Did you hear me?”

“I heard.” Baili Xia almost rolled her eyes at him.

This commanding tone is exactly like that of a certain man.

Being close to that man, near ink makes one black; have I been with him for too long?

Wu Ming didn’t pay her any more attention; he really didn’t have much strength right now.

He put a fruit in his mouth; it was sweet and crisp, like the taste of starfruit.

After eating a fruit, Wu Ming propped himself up, sitting upright.

Looking at the dozen or so fruits lying beside him, his gaze fell on Baili Xia.

“Did you eat?”

Baili Xia gently shook her head.

Having kept vigil all night, afraid those black-clad men would come, she had long forgotten hunger.

When Wu Ming asked, her stomach rumbled twice.

A complexity flashed in Wu Ming’s eyes as he reached out to hand another fruit to Baili Xia.

“Eat it, or how else will you have the strength to protect me?”
