Chapter 323: Just Bringing These Few People to Die
After staying at Panyue Grassland for a day and getting familiar with the situation there, on the morning of the third day, Jiang Lili and the God's Messengers were ready to set off for the top of Yuemi Mountain.
The herdsmen of Panyue Grassland came to see them off with their own specialties. When they saw Jiang Lili taking her people away as soon as they said they would, they became less resistant to this strange goddess.
But when the herdsmen saw that Jiang Lili brought seven or six people up the mountain, they were shocked.
Xi Ya was extremely worried, especially since his cousin Xi Chengyun was also in the team: "Goddess, you, you are only bringing these few people up the mountain? Why not bring more people?"
To be honest, this is just seeking death!
Jiang Lili set out with six people. In addition to the two aloof gods' messengers, there were four young herdsmen who voluntarily followed her into the mountains.
Jiang Lili had a faint smile on her face and said calmly, "These people are enough."
Wen Qiao and Xi Ya explained: "We are not going there to clash with the Moon Clan this time, but to solve the problem. Bringing too many people will show that we are not sincere enough, and they will be afraid."
"Everyone, please believe in the ability of the goddess."
Many herdsmen heard this and then looked at them, who looked like holy ambassadors seeking peace, ready to reason and persuade the other party, but had no deterrent effect at all, so they shook their heads and sighed.
Is the goddess a little too confident?
"By the way, this old man is specifically responsible for taking care of Liao Xiaoshi, and he will stay in the camp with the Xiaoshi. I'll leave it to you all while we're away."
At this time, there was a thick fog in the mountains. The figures of the seven of them looked particularly thin in the fog, as if they would be swallowed up by the thick fog at any time, which made people feel uneasy.
After Jiang Lili led the group away, some herdsmen were worried: "Will the goddess and her group never come back this time?"
"Let's not talk about whether we can get the BMW back. Are we going to have to collect their bodies in the end?"
"This is just the best case scenario. What if they anger the Moon Clan and they get so angry that they come down the mountainside and kill us all?"
This sentence reminded everyone that every herder was in danger, and the trust they had just established in Jiang Lili disappeared completely.
Xiya heard the herdsmen's discussion and told them to stop talking so discouragingly: "After all, the Saint Lady did a great deed for our Panyue Pasture. Can you hope for something good?"
He waved his hand and asked the herdsmen to disperse: "Okay, I have to go down the mountain to do something, you guys take care of the animals you are responsible for."
"By the way." Xiya said earnestly before the herdsmen left: "We must take good care of the old man the goddess rescued and the little god who stayed in the camp."
"What if the little messenger runs away and something goes wrong? Have someone keep a close eye on him and notify me immediately if there's any movement."
The herdsmen nodded repeatedly: "Brother Xi, you are very thoughtful. Let's do it right away!"

The way up the mountain was not easy to walk on, and the fog blocked the view. Jiang Lili and the others could only see the environment within a radius of ten feet.
The location of Mi Country is in the subtropical region. The trees on the mountains are relatively short, and the trunks and soil are covered with large patches of emerald green moss.
Although the air was fresh, it was also damp. Jiang Lili suspected that she would get moldy and grow mushrooms if she stayed in such a place for too long. She really didn't know how these reclusive Moon Clan people managed to live on the top of the mountain for so long.
The Moon Clan members who surrendered to Wen Qiao gave him a parchment scroll with a safe route into the mountains drawn on it. If they needed to go up the mountain to find the secluded Moon Clan members, they would take this route. The Moon Clan members on the mountain would not hunt along this route, and it would not be easy for them to accidentally injure people going up the mountain.
After walking up the mountain for an hour, the temperature was getting lower and lower. Jiang Lili and her group put on cloaks and pushed away the heavy fog. A clear stream appeared in front of them. "The area in front is where the Moon Tribe lives. We herdsmen have seen them fetching water from this stream before."
Jiang Lili had a hint of joy on her face: "Great, now that we are here, maybe we can meet the Moon Clan members sooner and ask them for clarification."
The four herdsmen who were accompanying her looked at Jiang Lili as if she were a fool. They thought that the goddess was too naive and thought the problem was too simple.
Xi Chengyun and the other four herdsmen were very nervous, and were frightened like frightened birds at the slightest noise, while Jiang Lili, Xin Che and Wen Qiao watched them bluffing calmly.
Xi Chengfeng: "Listen! There is a rustling sound ahead. Are they sharpening their knives to kill us?"
Wen Qiao: "That's the sound of leaves being blown by the wind."
Xi Chengfeng: "There is a noise on the ground. Is there a large group of Moon Tribe lying in ambush?"
Wen Qiao: "That's the sound of underground water flowing."
……
After several rounds, Jiang Lili and others were helpless against their will.
And the more they told the herders not to panic, the more panicked they became.
Xi Chengfeng looked like a worried old woman: "Goddess, God's messenger, your vigilance is really too low!"
The other three herdsmen began to wonder if they would be trapped in a ditch if they followed such a group of people.
"We have been confronting the Moon Tribe for so many years and have gained a lot of experience. Just listen to us."
Just as they were talking, there was a heavy and rapid "bang bang" sound coming from the ground. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and turned their heads to see a dark brown wild boar rushing out from the fog!
This wild boar is extremely strong, with short and thick limbs and muscular body. Its fangs are turned upwards and are extremely sharp, which looks very creepy.
Jiang Lili couldn't imagine what would happen if she was hit by this wild boar.
Xin Che quickly pulled Jiang Lili away from the wild boar's path and drew the sword from his waist.
He turned his foot, and the sword flashed out like a silver crescent moon, accurately hitting the wild boar's vital part.
The wild boar suffered a severe blow and its movements slowed down. It tried to steady itself and look at the person who hit it. However, before it could turn around, a spear cut through the air and was thrown from a distance, piercing through the wild boar's body with full force!
The wild boar, as big as a hill, grunted a few times, then fell to the ground with a thud, and the grunts gradually became weaker.
Jiang Lili looked at the big wild boar lying on the ground, then retracted her gaze, realizing that she was now clinging to Xin Che like a starfish. She quickly loosened her hand that was holding Xin Che tightly, and touched her frightened little heart with lingering fear.
She glanced around and fortunately the herdsmen were so frightened that they didn't notice her.
Xin Che glanced at his sleeve which had been grabbed tightly by Jiang Lili just now. The fabric had become wrinkled, revealing the truest reaction of the culprit just now.
