Running through a semi-primitive jungle in the dead of night was extremely dangerous.
Nighttime, in particular, was the domain of all kinds of animals. Whether herbivores, carnivores, or even venomous insects and snakes, they all came out to move about at night.
Once someone was injured, it would attract even more animal attacks.
Therefore, as the three fled, they had to watch not only for pursuers behind them but also for animals in their surroundings. Shao Jie's injury cast a shadow over all three of them and slowed their escape.
It was at that moment that they saw someone leisurely eating and drinking in the jungle as if he were camping. The scent of the food could faintly be detected from nearly a hundred meters away.
Was he playing around?!
The three of them nearly broke down.
The three of them were fleeing for their lives in the middle of the night, while the youngster before them was enjoying himself so extravagantly. The contrast between life's joys and sorrows was simply enormous.
Fortunately, Shao Jie was not so cold-hearted, nor did he want to drag Chen Mo into their trouble. So, they took a detour not far from Chen Mo, hoping to lure the pursuers away.
Of course, that was all they would do. They would not do any more than that. As for whether the pursuers, upon catching up, might shoot Chen Mo on a whim because they disliked the smell of his food or simply did not like the look of him, that was impossible to say.
Since he had been caught up in this, he had to be prepared for the worst. Who told this youngster not to stay put and instead poison everyone with his food in the middle of the night!
