Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei still couldn't win against Jiang Fan and Yao, so they had to compromise.
"Alright then, you two better remember this. If anything happens, absolutely do not try to be brave and run. If you get hurt and come back, we won't pay any mind to you. You'll have to tend to your own wounds and don't come crying to us again."
After saying this, Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei returned to their rooms, looking very unhappy. Jiang Fan and Yao merely exchanged a glance, said nothing, and went back to their rooms to rest.
"Let's leave the cave early tomorrow. We absolutely must not let them follow us, otherwise it will be too dangerous. This matter is already very risky, and if they follow us, the threat to them will be too great."
Yao nodded quickly upon hearing this.
Early the next morning, Yao got up and called for Jiang Fan to wake up. Jiang Fan had already prepared everything he needed the night before. When Yao spoke, he immediately got up.
The two of them went up the mountain side by side. Jiang Fan quickly took out his equipment. Yao looked at his gear with disbelief. He hadn't expected Jiang Fan to bring so much food.
"What are you bringing all this stuff for? Is this for eating there? What's the use of bringing these food items?"
After saying this, Jiang Fan quickly shook his head and looked at Yao, saying,
"You don't understand, don't worry about these things. You'll know how useful they are later. We're just going to fight them, so don't worry about what these things are for."
After saying this, Yao was completely bewildered. Carrying so much food would only make them more tired. If these things caused them trouble on the way, it would be difficult to get rid of them.
However, since Jiang Fan wanted to keep these things, he couldn't say much. He just watched Jiang Fan struggling with the weight of the supplies and couldn't help but step forward to help him carry some of the load. Jiang Fan, without any politeness, handed some of the materials over to him.
However, when they reached halfway up the mountain, Jiang Fan saw a giant strolling ahead. The two of them quickly hid. Yao was ready to attack and kill it immediately, but Jiang Fan stopped him.
"Don't attack. If you attack now, they will launch an offensive against you, and we won't be able to escape. If we can avoid their attacks, we should avoid them. What we're looking for is that horn. If we find that horn and figure out its purpose, perhaps we can solve the problem of these giants completely."
After saying this, Yao sheathed his weapon and continued walking with Jiang Fan. At this moment, Jiang Fan actually started a fire by the side. Yao was very surprised to see this.
"What are you doing? Do you intend to eat here? If the smell is too strong, what if they come? Eat later when we get back. Are you kidding me right now? It's too dangerous to cook here. Don't mess around."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan waved his hand and motioned for Yao to come over and help prepare the ingredients. Yao was very surprised, but he believed that Jiang Fan had his reasons and trusted Jiang Fan's intelligence, so he reluctantly went over to help Jiang Fan prepare the food.
"What the heck? This is too much. Don't you think it's dangerous to cook here right now? I think we should leave first."
Jiang Fan quickly waved his hand again and said,
"What are you afraid of? I wouldn't deliberately lead us both to our deaths here. After all, we're together. Harming you is the same as harming me, isn't it?"
Ordinarily, Yao knew that Jiang Fan wasn't trying to harm him, but he didn't understand Jiang Fan's actions. However, after hearing Jiang Fan say this, he helplessly let Jiang Fan proceed with the cooking.
"Is that enough? The smoke is already quite thick. Let's go quickly before they really come."
Jiang Fan nodded upon seeing the cooked food and then left with Yao, sneaking to a nearby spot to observe. Suddenly, Jiang Fan and Yao felt the ground shake as if some colossal entity was approaching them. They quickly hid in a more concealed spot.
"Since we're not their match, let's employ a diversionary tactic. I don't believe they won't all come out when they smell something so fragrant. We can just wait for them to come out before we move forward.
You also know that their movement speed is not fast. If we lure them here, we can head in their direction. Wouldn't that make it impossible for them to catch up to us?"
At this point, Yao finally understood Jiang Fan's intention. So that's why he went to so much trouble. Moreover, he seemed to believe in Jiang Fan's plan, and it seemed to be working well, as the giants were constantly moving in their direction. Jiang Fan successfully hid in a very secluded spot. After they all arrived, he grabbed Yao and ran in a certain direction.
"I observed them earlier. They were all coming from this direction. If we keep running in this direction, we should be able to find their main camp. Their horn should be in the main camp. Let's quickly get their horn and leave, otherwise, once they finish eating and return, we won't have time to escape."
Upon hearing this, Yao didn't dare to waste any time and rushed with Jiang Fan towards a hidden cave.
"It should be here. It looks very concealed, so it must be the right place. Let's quickly check the surroundings for anything suspicious. Their horn should be stored here."
