Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 933

933 Astonishing (2)

As subordinates, the most important thing was to protect Shen Miao. The black feather army was good at close combat, but they were not good at exploring this unfamiliar dark forest in the middle of the night. In fact, Hui Xiang and the others did not care much about the expert. In their opinion, Luo Tan was just being naive. However, the fact that Shen Miao believed Luo Tan made everyone feel a little strange.

Only Mo Qing followed Shen Miao’s orders unconditionally. Hui Xiang and the others did not know Shen Miao well. Mo Qing had been with Shen Miao since the beginning. Back then, when Shen Miao was in Ming Qi, the situation she was in was even more dangerous. However, she still managed to come out unscathed. Every decision Shen Miao made had a special effect in the future. Mo Qing never doubted this.

Shen Miao looked at the map and asked Luo Tan, “Did Ben Yue say that once we enter Phoenix Head Village, as long as we continue to walk south, we’ll see the house, right?”

Luo Tan said, “Yes, but she also said that there’s a small path to the south on the map. The small path will take us to where we want, but there’s no small path here.”

!!
“Let’s go,” Shen Miao said.

Everyone was puzzled. Cong Yang asked, “Madam, where are we going?”

Shen Miao gestured for Luo Tan to take out the compass and said, “South.”

“But there’s no path here.” Hui Xiang was extremely surprised. “If we get lost, won’t we be trapped here?”

Shen Miao glanced at Hui Xiang and said, “There are only so many directions here. Since Ben Yue said that we have to go south, we have to go in that direction. No matter where the path is, we’ll try all four directions if we have to. When we have no choice, trying is also a way.” She took the compass and walked forward.

Everyone was stunned for a moment before Luo Tan said, “Little Cousin, wait for me too!”

Ba Jiao said, “Let’s hurry up and follow.”

The others followed.

The sun quickly set. The forest was already dark because of the dense leaves. After the sunset, it was almost pitch-black. Fortunately, Cong Yang brought enough torches with him. After lighting them, they continued to advance deeper.

As they walked, they could no longer tell where they were because the scenery was almost identical. The same branches and huge leaves were everywhere. Moreover, even in June, it was still bone-chilling at night in the forest. Mo Qing and Cong Yang were fine, but the women were shivering.

Shen Miao and the others were all wearing a cloak. At this moment, they couldn’t help but hold their cloak tighter. From time to time, they would hear beastly howls. Mo Qing and Cong Yang placed their hands on the swords at all times, afraid that a beast would suddenly jump out of the thick bushes.

Hui Xiang lowered her voice and whispered, “It’s the sound of a wolf. There are actually wolves here.”

“Wolves are afraid of fire.” Shen Miao said, “Everyone, take two torches and light them up. Wolves are very cunning animals. If a wolf pack is in the forest and sees so many flames, they will think that there are many of us and not dare to approach.”

Hui Xiang and Ba Jiao were both surprised. “Madam, you even know how to deal with the wolf pack.” It was not surprising that the people of the Black Feather Army knew this. However, Shen Miao was the daughter of an official, so it was too unusual for her to know this.
