After a moment, the girl spoke with an uncertain voice, "In the backpack were firestones and poison. The bullet hit the firestone, the firestone ignited, the poison vaporized, and Zhou Yuan was poisoned to death."
"Used the footprints to disappear, circled behind Zhou Yuan."
"Left curse words to anger Zhou Yuan."
"Built a snowman as a target for Zhou Yuan to vent his anger."
"Attacked from behind while Zhou Yuan was venting."
"No, the location of the snowman and the curse words was also deliberate."
"There, the terrain is relatively flat, the only suitable place to hide is beneath the backpack."
"The placement of the backpack was also premeditated."
After the girl finished speaking, she looked at the screen where Du Xiu lay unconscious on the ground, her heart filled with horror.
She had witnessed Du Xiu standing in the snow, looking around for five or six minutes, and then coming up with all these arrangements.
And from start to finish, Du Xiu's face showed little change in emotion.
His heart was as hard as stone, his intellect surpassing that of a demon.
These words surfaced in the girl's mind.
"No way... it can't be that terrifying, right? Are you sure it wasn't just a coincidence?" A Hunter Group officer spoke stiffly.
"No, it was definitely not a coincidence, it was all calculated by him. One wrong step, or a misstep, and he would have been the one dead." The girl shook her head, recalling every action of Du Xiu.
They were all deeply meaningful.
Terrifyingly so.
Seeing the girl defending Du Xiu, Yang Tuyuan said with a hint of discontent, "In the end, it's still that poison that's powerful."
The girl didn't even glance at Yang Tuyuan.
No reason, just that he looked like someone with a short lifespan.
No one else picked up his words either. The poison was indeed powerful, but Du Xiu himself was even more so.
Everyone knew that Yang Tuyuan liked this girl with a notable background.
Young people, when they see the girl they like admiring another boy, can't help but feel a bit sour.
No one thought that the potion was made by Du Xiu himself.
In their eyes, Master Leng coming to save Du Xiu voluntarily indicated a connection.
With a connection to Master Leng, having a few potions on him was only natural.
......
Du Xiu struggled to open his heavy eyelids.
What came into view were two light strips installed on the pink car roof.
Emitting a soft beige light.
It wasn't hard to deduce that he had been rescued, and was in a woman's room.
Du Xiu cautiously looked around.
Judging by the interior, he should be in a moving RV, with the engine's roar faintly audible.
Whether it was the vehicle's excellent shock absorption or the driver's skill, traveling in the wilderness, Du Xiu didn't feel much of a bump.
Far better than when he drove himself, which felt like being on a boat.
Beside him, the girl lay on the table, resting her chin.
A glistening droplet of saliva hung at the corner of her mouth, about to fall.
Du Xiu struggled to sit up, the pain from his body causing his mouth to twitch involuntarily.
He lifted the blanket to check his injuries, his original clothes had been changed, leaving only his underwear to maintain a man's last bit of privacy.
His shoulder was swollen, and there were large frostbites on his left leg.
The wound on his calf had been treated with herbs, bandaged, and he could feel a slight stinging sensation through the bandage.
The swelling on his shoulder seemed to have been treated as well, compared to the snow forest, the soreness had diminished significantly.
As Du Xiu's movements made a sound, the girl opened her sleepy eyes, instinctively wiping her saliva.
Seeing Du Xiu looking at her calmly, a blush quickly rose on the girl's fair face.
A bit awkward.
"You're awake?"
The girl pretended nothing was amiss, changing the topic.
"Yes, thank you for saving me. Where are you headed?"
"It wasn't me who saved you, it was Master Leng's order. We're on our way to Bote City, arriving in three days."
"Master Leng? Who is Master Leng?"
"Huh, you don't know Master Leng?"
The girl was taken aback.
"I don't."
Du Xiu shook his head.
He only knew a Master Ma.
Who was dead, buried by his own hands.
"That's strange, the camp where you rested was a detour Master Leng had us take, and the snow forest where you were found unconscious was also on Master Leng's orders. I thought you knew Master Leng."
"Is Master Leng an apothecary?"
"Yes! A very skilled apothecary! The Silver Fox Hunter Group outside took a mission from the Hunters Guild to protect Master Leng."
Hearing the girl's words, Du Xiu fell into thought.
A very skilled apothecary.
Moreover, how did they know he was in the dense forest?
The only ones who knew his whereabouts were Lian Ruofei and Wang Fang's group.
First, eliminate Lian Ruofei.
In his social circle, the most capable person he knew... was probably himself.
That left Wang Fang and the others.
Although Wang Fang was nominally with the consortium, his presence in the wilderness must have another purpose.
Du Xiu recalled meeting Zhou Yuan, who kept probing and inquiring about his background, clearly with ill intentions.
Most likely to silence him.
Right.
During the confrontation, there was a sound of banging from Zhou Yuan's convoy.
They likely kidnapped someone.
This person should be from the consortium, with a high status, and they feared the news getting out, so they wanted to silence him.
Wang Fang, seeing Zhou Yuan not returning for a long time, probably reported this to their trading partners.
Master Leng should be from the faction Wang Fang was trading with.
He came here, possibly to check why Zhou Yuan hadn't returned.
Following this line of thought, it could explain why Master Leng detoured to find him.
But by this logic, shouldn't Master Leng have killed him to silence him?
Why save him?
The Silver Fox Hunter Group's mission was to protect Master Leng, and if the latter wanted to kill a wilderness boy, the Silver Fox Hunter Group probably wouldn't say much.
In the wilderness, laws didn't matter.
Du Xiu vaguely grasped something, but the logic didn't add up.
Seeing Du Xiu deep in thought, the girl curiously watched him.
Du Xiu didn't know that his series of actions in killing Zhou Yuan had been witnessed by the girl.
Not just her, almost the entire Silver Fox Hunter Group and Master Leng's people had watched as Du Xiu chose a location, built a snowman, wrote curse words to anger Zhou Yuan, threw his backpack somewhere, and then followed the footprints to hide in the snow.
Finally, the boy held a submachine gun, used firestone to ignite poison powder, and killed a Qi-Blood Realm Origin Cultivator.
This left the group dumbfounded.
Gurgle.
A sound came from Du Xiu's stomach.
The girl chuckled, revealing charming dimples, then raised her wrist, glanced at the time on her watch, her eyes curving into crescents, "You must be hungry after being unconscious for a day and a night! It's almost seven, the convoy will soon stop to camp, there are clothes beside you, change and come down to eat something."
"By the way, my name is Nini, what's yours?"
"Lian Ruofei."
