BXBX NOVEL Chapter 329 - 329 Hidden in the Village
Pang Shuo was furious that he had been played. Of course, there was also a hint of helplessness. “She’s using our inherent inertial thinking to gamble. She thinks that after we get there for the second time, we won’t search the pit beside us. So she made some blurry tracks. This way, she can successfully mislead our direction and win themselves some time to catch their breath.”
“So they’re hiding where those brothers fell?”
Pang Shuo immediately turned around and replied as he walked back, “That’s right. It’s definitely not too late to go back now. They’re slow. Even if they walk out of the pit, they won’t be able to run far now. Tell our brothers to speed up. The initiative in this matter is still in our hands. Everyone still has a chance to turn things around.”
!!
After saying that, Pang Shuo couldn’t care less about his exhaustion. Even though he was still panting, he still quickened his footsteps so that he could race against time and return earlier.
There was no need to search carefully along the way, and it saved a lot of time. Their traveling speed directly doubled. In less than half an hour, they completed the journey of more than an hour.
Although everyone was very tired, they were still very excited at the thought of catching two rich bosses.
Near the pit, Pang Shuo raised his hand, signaling the people behind to slow down and try not to make too much noise lest they alert the enemy and make the two of them escape again.
Everyone slowly walked to the surroundings of the pit. Just as Pang Shuo had expected, the pit that should have collapsed was now very well hidden. It was obvious that someone had deliberately processed it.
At this moment, everyone revealed evil smiles, looking smug.
Pang Shuo pursed his lips. “Zhou Xuan, Shan Yue, don’t hide anymore. We already know that you’re here. If you take the initiative to walk out now, I can consider not killing you immediately. After all, there’s still a use in keeping you alive. The two leaders are in our hands. I believe your other ten brothers won’t leave you in the lurch, right?”
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the entrance of the hole, waiting for the two of them to take the initiative to appear. However, even after Pang Shuo finished speaking, there was still no movement below. Some people had already begun to lose control of their emotions.
Pang Shuo thought that the two of them had not given up and felt that he could not find them. “I shouted for you to come out on your own because I’m giving you face. Don’t try to test my patience. If you don’t come out soon, don’t blame us for being rude. When the time comes, you can only blame yourselves.”
Five seconds later, there was still no feedback. Pang Shuo had also lost his original patience.
He looked at the people behind him. The few of them came to the edge of the pit and pulled away all the vegetation. The people beside them raised their sticks as a precaution to prevent the people in the pit from suddenly counterattacking.
To everyone’s surprise, things were not as they had expected. The pit was empty. There was no one at all. The group of people looked at Pang Shuo suspiciously.
“Village Chief, what’s going on? We’ve already wasted more than two hours. If we don’t catch them soon, we won’t even have a hostage. When the reinforcements from the Federation City arrive, we’ll only be waiting for death.”
Pang Shuo was also confused. He had already searched the huge forest carefully with his men. Why couldn’t he even catch a single person?
“Village Chief, we’ll…”
“Shut up! Be quiet. Let me think.” Pang Shuo, who was more anxious than anyone else, interrupted and directly entered the other party’s perspective.
If he was the fleeing Shan Yue, where would he choose to go at this moment? Pang Shuo’s mind raced as he thought of every place he could hide.
Pang Shuo’s mind flashed. Since Shan Yue liked to hide under others’ noses so much, she would definitely act accordingly.
Now that she had escaped the forest with Zhou Xuan, there was no way she could leave Pang Village. The dark sky and the fainted Zhou Xuan did not support her walking on foot. Then there was only one last place left, which was the village.
