79 -77: Surprise Attack

Ma Ziye suddenly realized what must’ve happened.

Indeed, during their chaotic brawl with the One-eyed Corpse King, the noise had been furious and grand.

These two likely started tailing and spying on them, quietly taking the six bags of food when they saw an opportunity they could exploit.

They must’ve thought that Su Yu and his party were all dead and had planned to return to collect any remaining food, never expecting to run into Su and his team again.

With this analysis, she also found it believable that they lived in a nearby cave.

After Ma Ziye had laid out her thoughts, the foreign couple started to appear somewhat uneasy.

York hurried to explain in English: “Apologies, I thought you all had met with an ill fate, and that the food had been abandoned.

Since you’re all safe, I would be more than happy to return the food to you.”

York’s willingness to return the food took everyone slightly aback.

At that moment, Su Yu wasn’t particularly concerned about the recovery of the six bags of food.

In reality, trading them in exchange for the addition of two powerful members to their team would be a profitable deal.

However, could they trust these two foreigners?

Why had they only been residing in the cave without trying to leave the forest like Su and his group?

All these questions lingered, but to get a clearer picture was simple enough.

Su conveyed his thoughts to Ma Ziye, hoping she would translate for him.

“Why are you living in a cave and not trying to find ways to leave the forest?

Are there other people in the cave besides you?

Do you want to join us and look for a way out of this place?

Currently, we are trying to find our way out of this forest.”

Hearing Ma Ziye’s questions, York instantly responded with a smile: “Indeed, we’re more than willing.

The forest is too dangerous for just the two of us, and we dare not wander around too much.

We’ve been staying here and only moving within our familiar surroundings.

Plus, there are no dangerous creatures here, and we’ve been waiting for other groups to join us.

Running into you guys is absolutely wonderful.”

Jennifer, standing beside York, flashed a smile, seeming to enthusiastically agree with the idea of joining Su’s team.

Seeing the foreigners’ responses, Ma Ziye brightened up with a smile.

She could already sense something extraordinary about this couple.

They wouldn’t dare wander around in the dead of the night unless they possessed formidable strengths, perhaps even higher than her own.

Following the brief conversation, the couple came off as quite friendly, and Ma Ziye, among others, lowered their defenses somewhat.

They started to ascend the slope together, with Ma Ziye introducing them to Lei Rui, Su Yun, and others.

The couple was affable and courteously nodded to each introduction.

But unnoticed by the team, York’s right hand was emanating a faint shimmer.

He was scanning everyone’s profiles.

Upon discovering that aside from Su Yu, no one in the group seemed especially powerful, with some not even being First-Level, York’s bushy bearded face lit up even more.

“How long have you been in this forest?” Su Yu suddenly inquired.

Ma Ziye swiftly translated his question into English.

York paused for a moment, glanced at Ma Ziye, and then showed a bitter smile: “Nearly a month now.

Every day has been like living in hell.

We are sinners abandoned by God.”

“This place isn’t safe.

Let’s all go to our cave and rest.

It’s better than where we currently are,” Jennifer joined in, her face full of enthusiasm.

“Great.

Have you been living in that cave for a month?

Is there a place to shower there?” Su Yun, with a decent grasp of English, joined in the conversation.

Jennifer looked a little startled.

After a moment’s thought, she replied, “Yes, there is a stream nearby where you can bathe.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yun let out a delighted cry.

However, this remark made Su Yu’s heart leap.

He shifted his gaze and studied the couple.

Their bodies reeked of putrid sweat and blood.

They smelled stronger than his group.

If their cave was indeed close to a stream where they could frequently bathe, why did they stink?

Clearly, she was lying to Su Yun.

The question was why?

The only reason was that she wanted everyone to go to their cave.

In order to lure them, she mentioned the stream for bathing.

For women like Su Yun, a place where they could bathe was indeed quite tempting.

Just as Su Yu had this thought, Lei Rui suddenly whispered, “Su Yu.” She walked up to him and said in a low voice, “Su Yu, this foreign woman must be lying.

Looking at her, she hasn’t taken a bath in many days at least.

She said there is a stream where she can bath by her cave, this must be a lie.”

Su Yu glanced at Lei Rui, secretly praising her quick thinking.

These two foreigners obviously didn’t understand Chinese, so even though they saw Lei Rui and Su Yu talking, they had no idea what they were saying.

Su Yu let a smile play on his face.

He nodded politely towards them, his expression revealing no suspicion.

However, he said in a low voice, “Be careful, I don’t know why they’re lying, but…

we probably can’t trust these two people.”

Looking at the food scattered across the ground in bags, Su Yu thought about the potential intentions of this couple.

If they were planning to attack, was it for the food?

No, they were normal people.

They should understand that joining their group and searching for an exit together increased their chances of survival.

Otherwise, even if they killed everyone now and took the food, wouldn’t it be consumed quickly, rendering their efforts useless?

So, what were they really thinking?

Why would Jennifer lie to Su Yun and did they truly have malicious intentions?

While Su Yu continued with his thoughts, he still wasn’t sure if this foreign couple had bad intentions, but he heightened his vigilance towards them.

Su Yu watched as Su Yun excitedly picked a bag from the ground and shouted, “We can finally take the showers!

Let’s go.”

Watching a hint of joy pass through the couple’s eyes, Su Yu felt his heart move.

He said, “It’s too dark now.

Let’s wait until dawn.”

Su Yun was somewhat dissatisfied, but didn’t say anything after Su Yu gave her a look.

She put the bag she had just picked up back on the ground.

Jennifer saw them picking up and putting down the bag again.

Looking puzzled, she asked in English, “What’s wrong?

Aren’t we going?”

Ma Ziye responded in English, “It’s too dark now, let’s wait until dawn.

Besides, dawn isn’t that far off.”

“Oh…” Jennifer responded, disappointment flashing across her face.

In contrast, York chuckled heartily and said, “That sounds good, let’s wait until dawn then.” As he walked over to Su Yu, he asked, “Does anyone have a cigarette?

The hardest thing about being in this forest is not having a smoke…”

Ma Ziye translated for him.

“I do.” Zhang Zhongmou pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it directly at York saying, “It’s yours.” He still had plenty of supplies in his large food bag, so he didn’t mind giving away a pack of cigarettes.

York pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, his face gleaming with joy.

He walked straight up to Su Yu and asked, “Got a light?”

Although Su Yu’s English was not very fluent, he could understand this simple sentence.

He was about to shake his head and reply ‘no’ when York’s right fist silently swung across the half-space towards Su Yu’s head.

The distance between the two was close and York made a sudden move, the others had no idea what was happening before York’s fist had already landed on the back of Su Yu’s head.

The punch was incredibly fast.

As soon as York’s fist moved, it grew dark fur.

By the time it hit Su Yu’s head, his right arm turned into a huge and grotesque palm covered in black spikes, looking like a giant cactus at first glance.
