Chapter 933: Chapter 232: Iron Plate Disturbance [2-in-1]
Yan Beihan circled around Little Bear and Little Tiger seven or eight times, grabbing their ears and glaring: "I’m being chased again! It’s all your fault for dragging me down, ah ah ah!"
The two little ones stared with their round confused eyes: "..."
What do you mean?
"Fortunately, we have to restore our original cultivation when going out, ah ah ah... Otherwise, what do you expect me to do, ah ah ah..." Now, only Little Tiger and Little Bear are here, even Fang Che isn’t around.
So Yan Beihan let loose, announcing his breakdown.
Finally, at this moment, Fang Che, who went up to scout, brought back good news. Yan Beihan instantly regained his calm composure, appearing indifferent and aloof about the loss of cultivation from being chased.
"There are no birds above the lake."
This made Yan Beihan’s spirits suddenly rise!
Finally, they could leave.
That night.
Fang Che chose the first half of the night to start the action.
"Acting in the first half of the night? Isn’t it too early?"
Yan Beihan had doubts.
"It’s not early, this time we need to move slowly, and we have to cross the big lake to the diagonal opposite of where we came from. By the time we reach the opposite shore, it’ll be almost dawn during the second half of the night, and that’s the safest time."
Fang Che explained.
"Impressive." Yan Beihan admitted he hadn’t thought of that.
Then Fang Che first took out the prepared grass and tree sap and applied it on the two little ones. Then he handed a bucket to Yan Beihan, to apply on himself.
Yan Beihan was shocked: "Did you anticipate this months ago?"
"How could that be?"
Fang Che chuckled: "But covering your scent when traveling the Jianghu to avoid being tracked by Divine Beasts or birds, isn’t that common sense?"
"Impressive!"
Yan Beihan took note of it.
He admired Fang Che even more.
Originally, upon recognizing Fang Che as a Yemo, he had somewhat looked down on him. But after this period of interaction, Fang Che’s seamless adaptation to various environments had left Yan Beihan in awe.
Increasingly admired.
The person indeed has unique skills!
Such extensive Jianghu experience, able to calmly come up with the best strategies in any dire situation.
Something he couldn’t match at all.
Seemingly prepared for any life-or-death environment, fully experienced.
How much hardship has Yemo endured?
"Is there any other common knowledge?" Yan Beihan humbly asked.
"I’ll teach you another one, that is, many birds have night blindness; although we’re not sure if these Demon Beasts do, acting during the second half of the night is safer, at least it gives you a little hope to comfort yourself."
Fang Che chuckled.
"Completely in awe!"
Yan Beihan was truly amazed.
Even considered this aspect?
Although such powerful Demon Beasts likely don’t have night blindness, the psychological comfort during the action will have a significant effect, which Yan Beihan was well aware of.
Like some people diagnosed with terminal illness but unaware, living happily and thus living longer—a metaphor perhaps unsuitable, but the same principle.
After applying everything, Fang Che began the action.
This time, seeking stability over speed.
So Fang Che essentially led three bubbles slowly to the surface.
Without making a single water sound.
In the water, Yan Beihan had the same expression as the two little ones: wide-eyed, curiously watching the outside. Head turning around, bewildered and mesmerized.
Lips slightly parted.
The same sense of novelty.
Three adorable little cuties.
No one expected Yan Beihan to show a little girl’s expression, but Fang Che would never point it out, pretending not to see.
Fang Che suppressed his laughter, slowing down even more.
Stretching the underwater journey for the inquisitive little ones a bit longer.
Finally, they silently floated to the other side of the big lake.
Right before dawn.
With about an hour before dawn, the darkest time of the day.
The precise timing Yan Beihan admired wholeheartedly.
She couldn’t understand how, in such an underwater environment, Fang Che calculated so accurately.
For her, it was an unsolvable puzzle.
But she didn’t ask again.
Just contemplating herself, she wanted to figure it out on her own; then verify with Fang Che.
No reason why he can think of it and I can’t.
Gently releasing the three bubbles silently onto the shore, Yan Beihan immediately took charge of the two little ones, cradling them while crouching down.
Then Fang Che silently came ashore.
The waters quietly subsiding.
The two swiftly increased their pace, quietly slipping through the grass.
Sure enough, they weren’t discovered.
Ran all the way until dawn.
Before the first light of dawn appeared.
Crossed over a hill, then found a hidden cave on site.
Covered with vegetation, quietly hid inside.
Now, definitely haven’t left the birds’ territory; but absolutely can’t take action.
Must wait until the same time at night to proceed stealthily.
In the cave, Fang Che almost buried Little Bear in the vegetation sap.
Silently praying: please don’t attract centipedes and snakes...
Perhaps the sap took effect, or the prayers were answered, the night indeed passed peacefully.
Four consecutive days, just like this, sleeping by day and active by night.
Although countless birds flew overhead each day, the two plus the little ones remained safe and sound.
Fang Che and Yan Beihan belonged to those who either don’t do something, or do it to perfection.
Especially on the Jianghu Road involving battle and escape, they were extremely cautious.
