Chapter 836: The Least Likely to Come is Him

In fact, Guisu and Dongfang Jin had no direct enmity.

It was all caused by Lu Xuening.

That woman, while alive, could enslave him, and even in death, she still had him doing so much for her.

This was something even Mu Xiaojiu and Dongfang Jin found incredible.

After Mu Xiaojiu knew in which direction Baili Xia might have gotten lost, he and Dongfang Jin split up to search.

According to the route she would have taken to return, if she hadn’t walked directly back toward the hotel, then she must have gone into the jungle on the way.

But what was she doing going into the jungle?

Didn’t she know that only a part of this dense jungle was developed?

And that almost ninety percent of it was still pristine forest?

In this kind of forest, even if there weren’t large fierce animals, there could certainly be poisonous creatures.

Who gave her the courage to recklessly venture into such a place?

Not long after Mu Xiaojiu and Dongfang Jin split up, they quickly discovered traces of someone having passed through the jungle.

However, because of the heavy rain, the traces were much diluted and unrecognizable to anyone not rigorously trained in outdoor survival.

Of course, the training Mu Xiaojiu received might not even be fully known by Ye Hua, who had always been by his side.

His experience in wilderness combat could even surpass Guisu’s.

The heavy rain almost destroyed every trace, and although Mu Xiaojiu was extremely capable, he only managed to find the place where Guisu and Baili Xia had stayed.

There were no obvious signs of a struggle, which at least indicated they hadn’t fought.

Considering the little creature’s current skills and Guisu’s condition,

the little creature, even if still unable to defeat Guisu who could only use his left hand, could at least block a move or two.

No traces, no struggle, Guisu had left, but what about the little creature?

Looking up into the sky, the dense rainfall washed out everything in his sight.

The rain grew heavier, and with each passing minute, more of their tracks disappeared.

Mu Xiaojiu dared not think too much but could only continue to search desperately.

As for everything she was facing now, thinking about it would tear his heart again.

…

The torrential rain poured down, completely obliterating everything in sight.

Baili Xia curled up alone at the entrance of the cave, not daring to move at all.

The cave she had found with difficulty was unfathomably deep, yet she stayed right at the entrance.

Only when the lightning grew more intense dared she move a bit further inside.

In the pitch-black cave, she had no idea what was inside.

But as the thunder and lightning outside worsened, staying at the entrance felt as though she could be struck by lightning at any moment.

In short, she was caught between two dilemmas, completely unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, with a loud crack, a bright bolt of lightning flashed overhead.

Baili Xia was so frightened she almost screamed, subconsciously moving further inside.

Once the thunder abated a little, she dared to hug herself and crouch down again.

She couldn’t remember how long she had been here, at least a couple of hours.

She also didn’t know what was happening with the people at the hotel by now.

With such heavy rain outside, everyone must have returned to the hotel, and she wondered who would be the first to notice her disappearance.

Her master would be anxious, certainly out looking for her.

And Jin, Brother, they definitely wouldn’t leave her behind.

As for Uncle…

having upset him like that today, he probably had no interest in inquiring about anything happening outside.

He…

wouldn’t come looking for her, not until perhaps tomorrow when he found out she was missing.
