Xiao Xiao once again felt that having A Jiu by his side really saved him a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, he would probably have had to explain what the little fox the child had mentioned was.
But given the situation, the people on the helicopter likely had no mind to quibble over the child's choice of words.
Even if those words were puzzling.
Qianqian's companions walked down the mountain instead.
After all, the helicopter couldn't fit that many people.
Although they were all headed in roughly the same direction, the three groups still left one after another.
The police went first.
Then Qianqian's companions.
At last, only Xiao Xiao and the others remained in the clearing.
"Third Brother."
Now that all the "uninvolved" people had left, Zhuge Yun finally asked the question he'd been holding in for a long time.
"That child—was Nini getting lost... related to a monster?"
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng also stared intently at Xiao Xiao.
Zhuge Yun's question was theirs too.
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"You're very perceptive."
Just as they'd thought!
Zhuge Yun, Zhang Bo, and Zhao Luzheng looked at the other two.
Then they high-fived each other.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing.
He looked in one direction.
A horn that looked like a rhinoceros's was sticking out from the thick bushes.
The smile in his eyes deepened.
Did Lu Duan know it had already been spotted?
The next second, he saw the horn slowly retreat into the bushes.
He couldn't help coughing a few times.
Looks like it had noticed.
"What's wrong?"
At the sound of Xiao Xiao's cough, Zhang Bo and the others looked over.
"Nothing."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"Do you still want to keep climbing?"
"Or should we head back?"
