Chapter 705: This Person Definitely Has a Motive For Approaching Us
Soon, both their invisible robots appeared in the surroundings of the RV.
Lu Jingye asked in a heavy voice, “What happened?”
Shadow said, “There’s a landslide nearby and it disturbed the wild elephants. There are currently twelve elephants running in this direction.”
Zi Yi’s eyes brightened at Shadow’s words. She pulled Lu Jingye’s sleeves and said with surprise, “Ah Jing, it’s elephants.”
Lu Jingye looked at her.
“I’ve never seen elephants on ancient Earth in person before. What I’ve seen in the past were through images.”
Lu Jingye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before he asked Shadow, “Are you able to lift the RV?
The car must be kept intact.
Shadow nodded. “Yes.”
“Lift the RV when the elephants are rus.h.i.+ng over. Don’t let them damage it.”
/
“I understand, Master.”
After Shadow informed the other robots, eight invisible robots were about to lift up the RV.
Zi Yi was a little anxious. “Ah Jing, aren’t we getting out?”
Lu Jingye had no choice but to bring her along and get out of the car.
As soon as they found a high location to check out the view, they saw a herd of elephants rus.h.i.+ng over.
Zi Yi was held in Lu Jingye’s arms and she craned her neck to look at the elephants.
Lu Jingye was holding onto an umbrella with one of his hands and he could only hold her tighter in his embrace with the other.
The herd of elephants crossed the road and when they were about to pa.s.s, a woman suddenly rushed over from not too far ahead.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye furrowed their eyebrows at the same time.
Zi Yi asked Lu Jingye, “Do we save her?”
Lu Jingye said with an indifferent expression, “No, this woman is suspicious.”
Zi Yi had the same thought. At this moment, they saw a lithe figure come swinging from the tree branches and quickly das.h.i.+ng towards the woman, who was scared silly and screaming. The lithe figure held her waist and swung to the opposite slope.
The herd of elephants ran past that location at the same time.
“I didn’t expect Anya to have such great skills.” Zi Yi held her chin and her lips slightly curved up. “I am sure that she must have a motive in approaching us.”
Just then, Anya and that woman, who was in a sorry state, walked over.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye descended from the hillside.
Both Anya and the woman did not have an umbrella and they were both drenched in the heavy rain.
Zi Yi looked at both of them. The woman was s.h.i.+vering and clearly, she was afraid.
Anya asked in worry, “Where’s your RV?”
Zi Yi pointed to a corner behind them.
Shadow had put down the RV after the herd of elephants ran past them.
The woman was clearly surprised that their RV was undamaged.
However, Anya seemed to have guessed the reason why and did not continue to ask anything.
“Get in the car first,” Lu Jingye said and both he and Zi Yi got in the car.
Anya and the woman walked to the door.
Anya said, “She’s a native of the mountains. Can you lend her an umbrella?”
Zi Yi looked at the woman and the latter looked back at Zi Yi with a scared expression.
Zi Yi made eye contact with the woman for several seconds before she asked Shadow, “Do we still have an umbrella?”
Shadow said, “Madam, we still have one umbrella.”
“Give it to her.”
Shadow took out the umbrella and pa.s.sed it to the woman.
The woman reached out for the umbrella with trembling hands, and she looked like she was extremely afraid of them.
Anya took the umbrella for her instead and stuffed it in her hands. She said a few words to her and the woman nodded, as if thanking her before she took her leave.
Anya remained standing outside and did not come in.
Zi Yi looked at her.
Anya said shyly, “My clothes are covered in water and it will stain your RV. Can you lend me a set of clothes?”
Zi Yi did not immediately answer. Instead, she asked, “Where’s my younger sister?”
“I don’t know. Little Loli ran off very quickly after she entered the woods. I didn’t manage to catch up to her.”
Anya then said, “Why don’t I help you look for her?”
“No need, you should come up. However, you can’t fit into my clothes. I’ll give you a blanket to wrap yourself up in first.”
“That’s fine too. Thanks.”
Anya got into the car.
Zi Yi walked to the back and grabbed a blanket for her.
Everyone waited for almost half an hour, before they saw Little Loli making her way back.
She was carrying something in both hands and it looked heavy. However, Little Loli looked relaxed as she carried the items.
After Little Loli came back, Zi Yi opened the door. Little Loli then placed the fruit on the table behind them.
“Sister, there is plenty of fruit in the woods. I brought some back for you.”
Zi Yi looked at the fruit on the table, before she turned to look at the water dripping on the floor.
Little Loli giggled with a guilty expression. Subsequently, steam could be seen being emitted from her clothes.
Soon, the water on her had evaporated, and Little Loli even belched contentedly. “I had a good meal just now.”
Zi Yi looked at her speechlessly. She obviously had a recharge, and yet she said that she had a good meal.
The RV continued to move forward.
Zi Yi pa.s.sed Anya some fruits.
It was getting darker outside, but the RV had been driving steadily.
Lu Jingye looked at the map and said, “We still have an hour before we get out of the mountain area. There’s a town not far away from the mountain. Do you want to eat there or should we get the robot to buy some food instead?”
Zi Yi thought about it and said, “Get the robot to buy food for us.”
These places were poor and there was a high chance they would encounter unruly people. Zi Yi did not wish to spend time taking care of those people.
Lu Jingye nodded his head and tapped his wrist. Soon, he sent a message to the robots for them to go and purchase food.
Not long after the RV drove out of the mountain, the robots had returned with dinner.
The RV continued driving towards the Bermuda Triangle.
…
The Bermuda Triangle was situated in a mountainous area in the middle of three countries.
The terrain here was dangerous and none of the three countries had the ability to control it. Coupled with the officials and bandits colluding with each other, the forces here had expanded uncontrollably.
There was also a bustling place in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle and it was called City X. It could be considered to be a large trading area.
The influential figures here would often fight and kill each other in private. City X was the only place where they had laid down their weapons tacitly and unanimously.
Inside a luxurious clubhouse, men in various costumes held women in their arms. They would stop and greet each other as they exchanged pleasantries when they saw an acquaintance.
Other than this being a drinking place, there were also areas for gambling, fighting, and auctioning.
The entertainment here was different from what ordinary people knew of. Lives can be gambled, the fighters can kill the opponent in the fight, and the auctioned items include all kinds of things that could not be sold openly.
Within a room, several men were sitting together and smoking cigarettes.
One of the men with blonde hair and green eyes took a deep drag of the cigarette and said, “I heard that Lu Jingye will be coming here soon.”
“Hmph!” Another man with brown eyes and a long scar across his cheeks said, “He can come all he likes. As long as he’s here to talk business with us, we’ll talk. Or else, he better not blame us for being rude!”
Another man who was relatively shorter but had a sharp glint in his eyes flicked the cigar ash and laughed. “Didn’t you pay attention to what he has done in Country Em these days? That man is still so ruthless. Those businessmen are really stupid. Why would they ever think that Lu Jingye would fall just because he doesn’t have the position of the President of the Lu Group?”
“So what? I heard that Lu Jingye is bringing his woman along. For him to dare to bring his woman here, I’d like to see if he can protect her.”
