Chapter 59: Chapter 059: Do You Want to Kill Everyone?
The sky gradually darkened, and the woods became quieter and quieter.
The hunting team from Peng Village had been circling in the mountain hollow of Liangjia Peak for three rounds, unable to find their way out.
Some members of the team, who were more impatient, began to grumble quietly; though their voices were not loud, the situation still affected the emotions of those around them, making the crowd grow restless.
Even Hunter Zhang, who had just returned from inspecting the fork in the road ahead, had a dark expression on his face.
Clearly, the results of his exploration were not good.
The Village Chief, Peng Chunlai, sounded a bit anxious, “Uncle Zhang, how did it go?”

Hunter Zhang made a gesture with his hand, pressing down twice, signaling everyone to rest in place. After Peng Chunlai relayed the message to the people behind him, the villagers collectively sat down to rest, opening their provision of dry food and water to replenish their strength.
Hunter Zhang was discussing with Peng Chunlai and three other leading villagers about what to do next.
Meanwhile, Tang Zelin and Yuan Xiao, who were positioned midway to the back, received the instruction to rest and found a flat patch of brush to sit cross-legged and rest.
Tang Zelin handed a water flask to Yuan Xiao, who was desperately thirsty, gulping down two big mouthfuls before wiping his mouth, glancing ahead, and then turning to his brother.
“Boss, do you think this old hunter is reliable? We’ve been wandering around this broken mountain for most of the day, and yet there’s still no sign of an exit.”
Tang Zelin handed him half a biscuit, “Talk less, do more.”
Yuan Xiao took it, biting into it, “Hey bro, don’t you think there’s something eerie going on in these mountains? How come we just set traps and caught some pheasants and hares, and now we’re trapped here? I haven’t even grabbed a feather yet.”
Tang Zelin kept his gaze fixed ahead while listening to Yuan Xiao ramble, noticing that Hunter Zhang and the Village Chief seemed to have a disagreement, as if the villagers were at fault, relentlessly trying to placate the old hunter’s temper.
Tang Zelin narrowed his eyes in thought and whispered to Yuan Xiao, “Before we set off, I saw Peng Sanye arguing with the Village Chief. Now, the old hunter is also having a dispute with them. This trip into the mountains might not be just about hunting.”
Upon hearing that the matter was not that simple, Yuan Xiao’s radar-like gossipy ears instantly perked up.
“Spill it.”
Their position was still a few meters away from the nearest villager; the two of them spoke in hushed tones, and others nearby could only hear vaguely.
Tang Zelin shook his head, “I don’t know what the heck is going on.”
Yuan Xiao’s burning curiosity was immediately extinguished, he moaned lowly, “Bro, I thought you had some top-secret info. Turns out you don’t know either?”
“But I guess it’s not a highly secret matter.”
Yuan Xiao rolled his eyes, understanding, “Right, if it were really critical, they wouldn’t let us outsiders tag along, right?”
Tang Zelin hummed in agreement, his attention still on the scene unfolding ahead. Perhaps it was the bizarre dream from last night affecting him, or perhaps it was because wandering around in the woods had yielded no results, but he opted for a static instead of active approach, quietly waiting for the villagers to finish their discussion.
Yuan Xiao said, “Bro, when you came to this village before, was it ever like this?”
Tang Zelin knew what Yuan Xiao meant: had something this strange ever happened in the village before? Honestly, it had not.
He shook his head.
Yuan Xiao arched his eyebrows, his mouth curling slightly, “So did we hit the jackpot this time?”
As they whispered, they suddenly heard Hunter Zhang upfront cursing in fury, “Wasn’t this supposed to be a hunting trip? You said you wanted to hunt wild animals, which is why I agreed to lead the team. But Village Chief, you bringing things you shouldn’t have brought, do you want to get everyone killed?!”
