"There’s no point in discussing this now. Let’s wait until we reach the Bitter Thoughts Pavilion," said Sui Zimo.
"Mm-hmm."
Lin Caisang nodded.
"From today on, let’s travel day and night, Zimo."
"Alright."
Sui Zimo nodded, having no other opinion.
...
From that day on, everyone started to travel day and night, continuing for three days and nights.
Along the way, Yuan Jue’s group didn’t say much. They’re all cultivators, so going days without rest is a common thing.
But on Captain Liu’s side, so people started complaining, thinking that walking like this is a waste of ti.
During a break when everyone stopped to cook a al, a few team mbers approached Captain Liu and began to vent their frustrations.
"Captain, this way of traveling isn’t working, is it?"
One of them, with a distressed look, glanced at Lin Caisang’s team in the distance and then at Captain Liu.
"I just don’t get it. Captain Lin obviously has flying demons, so why choose to walk? Others wouldn’t mind, but Captain Lin is a pregnant woman. What if they don’t find the treasure and she gets exhausted? What then?"
Originally, no one said anything, because on the way to the gathering place, they could hunt demons and gain so things, so they didn’t feel the travel was wasted.
But now, after several days of nonstop travel, they hadn’t seen a single demon, only prey which they could skin and eat!
In other words, the past few days had been wasted. If they could ride flying demons, they would have arrived here in just one day.
They could brush all that aside, but what if Captain Lin really does get exhausted?
They’re here for treasure hunting; they can’t just stop because of Captain Lin, right?
"Captain, if sothing really happens to Captain Lin, are we supposed to hunt for treasure or stay here with Young Master Sui and waste ti? It’s just delaying everything."
"Shut up!"
Captain Liu’s face was dark as he stopped their conversation.
Despite thinking the sa thing, he kept it to himself, not daring to say it out loud.
This wasn’t just cursing them to have an accident. If Sui Zimo heard them, would there be any good outco for them? He might just sweep them away with a sword, leaving them disabled.
"You two, if you keep saying things like this, I can’t protect you anymore."
"Captain, co on, we were just talking casually," one team mber mumbled, pouting.
They weren’t speaking in front of Sui Zimo or Lin Caisang, just complaining to their captain. What’s the big deal? Isn’t everyone thinking this way?
"Just talking casually?"
Captain Liu took a deep breath and glared at them with cold eyes.
"The woman from Captain Yuan’s team didn’t even say anything casually; she just glared at Captain Lin. Where do you think she is now?"
"Uh!"
The two were at a loss for words, choked by their captain’s statent.
Thinking of Ling Xue’er, who had been sent away from the Sea-Wide Forest, they didn’t know what to say or what they could say.
