CEO's Wife, Please Wait

What was he doing? He actually forgot his own environment and his own position because of a man's injury. If that man hadn't stopped him just now, he might have done something out of line by being blinded by his own thoughts … He was not so calm, this was really a failure for an assassin.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiran lowered her head dejectedly as she began to reflect on all the actions and mistakes she had made. On the other side of the hovercraft sat the Falcon's Mandate, apparently oblivious to the change in Lu Qiran's mood.

Currently, the Eagle Condor Art's entire body was burning with a burning sensation, especially the forearms of his two hands, which were on the verge of peeling and festering. To be infected by bacteria in this barren wilderness was not a joke.

"Whew." He raised his head and looked at the approaching ground. He let out a deep breath and relaxed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire crevice was filled up by the surging underground river. Lu Qilan and the Eagle Condor Art had managed to escape from the crack in the ground safely.

However, the problem soon followed. Because it was already late at night and it was impossible for the two of them to see the journey with the help of the moonlight or determine the direction with the help of the stars, they might be able to find some carnivorous wild beasts if they continued to stay. In this dark environment, both of them were heavily wounded. At this time, it was best to avoid encountering wild beasts.

"What do we do now? Go on? "Xiao Ran?" The Solitary Falcon slightly raised his hand and asked Lu Qi in a joking manner.

"No." At this point, Lu Qiran had already regained the coolness and sharpness of the Gold Ranked Assassin that she was wearing, and was able to accurately determine the situation and form of the skill.

"In front of us is a trench that is approximately one meter deep and three meters wide. Let's go there and build a fire for the night. We'll set off again tomorrow morning …" It's about four hours before sunrise, so I'll watch the first half of the night while you watch the second half. "

Upon hearing this, Falcon's Secrets chuckled. "Heh, I didn't think you would still remember the matter of the trench, but I'll be fine with staying up late. You can rest …"

"No need, taking turns to rest can help us recover as quickly as possible, you know that." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the dark forest without looking back. "Let's go."

The falcon took one look at Lu Qi Ran, who was walking in front, and felt that his back was exceptionally delicate. Shaking his head, he chased after her. "You're just a girl, why are you so strong?"

"Because the opponent won't not kill you just because you're a woman." Lu Qi Ran naturally heard his words, and waved his hand to cut off the thorns in front of him, breaking them and stepping on the ground to avoid tripping over. He also made a mark.

"I'm not your opponent …" "So you don't have to be so cautious against me," the falcon muttered under its breath. However, it was still standing five steps away from her. This was also the closest Lu Qiran could get to a person.

When they arrived at the trench, Lu Qiran jumped in first. Then, he turned his head to the side and made an inquiring expression.

The soil in the trench was black, and there were also some fist-sized rocks. Perhaps it was because of the soil, but this piece of land did not grow at all. Squatting down, he touched a handful of soil.

At this time, Lu Qiran had already gathered up a pile of dried up leaves, but she just stood there in a daze.

"What's wrong?" The falcon stood up and moved closer to her.

"The flint and the small bottle of burning oil have all been lost." She had just counted. Other than the gun in her hand, the fifteen bullets in her pants pocket, the dagger, and the rope tied around her waist, everything else had been lost along with her backpack. This was not a good sign.

"I have a lighter." In the darkness, the eyes of the Eagle Mantra were very bright. He pressed down twice, but only a few sparks flew out. There was no way to ignite the leaves at all.

"It seems like we just went into the water. There's no fire, so we won't have a good night." The falcon decided to unload two bullets from its gun.

"Do you have enough ammunition? Wasting it in a place like this." Of course, Lu Qiran knew what the falcon was going to do. She was also shocked, and subconsciously stopped him.

"I don't want to sleep all night, and you don't want to drive away the animals all night either?" The falcon's talisman tore off a small piece of cloth from its sleeve and poured out the gunpowder from the inside. This time, the sparks quickly ignited the cloth and started to light up the pile of leaves.

"My gun is different from yours, so you can't use my bullets!" Seeing that he was done, Lu Qiran helplessly said, "How are you going to protect yourself in the event of danger?"

The falcon took a deep whiff of the salt in the air, and secretly wiped the remaining salt from its arm, gritting its teeth in pain, digging its nails deep into the ground, barely able to keep from revealing itself in front of Lu Qiran.

Lu Qiran, seeing that he didn't say anything, thought that he had just remembered this matter and put the gun in his hand along with the bullet in his pocket. "You rest. I'll keep watch."

"No!" Instead, he threw a broken branch into the fire, and the flame flickered and leapt again.

Seeing that he did not intend to receive it, Lu Qiran kept it, staring at the flames without saying a word. What should he do when he returned? Break away from the organization? But then … Then where to? She was just like a rootless duckweed. When would she be able to not follow the flow? Even if they escaped, they would still attract endless attention.

The smell of nitrous oxide quickly dispersed, and a faint scent of smoke and oil was slowly sucked into their noses as they burned.

"Crap!"

Lu Qiran and Falcon's facial expressions changed. They both put out the fire at the same time, and the surroundings turned dark again. The two of them did not stand up, as smoke floated up, and standing up would only result in them inhaling more poisonous gas.

The oleander was poisonous, but it could be burned, but the wood that grew together with the oleander could be used to dispel the poison, but it was also poisonous in itself, but it was normal for it to appear only when it was burned in the fire.

The fire had obviously mixed in with the plant's trunk or leaves. Fortunately, the plant only had the effect of numbing the nerves, so its toxicity wasn't very strong. But in this place, reaction speed was the most important thing. If it lost its ability to move, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
