Chapter 1825: Roast One and Try It

A black shadow suddenly flashed outside the cave, and Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai instantly went on alert.

"Who are you?"

"State your name at once!"

Though they were severely wounded, their complexion pale and strength depleted, they still had to project an aura to intimidate whoever came.

Gong Sun Huohuo immediately patted both their heads.

"What's all the noise?"

"That's my master returning!"

As soon as Gong Sun Huohuo finished speaking, he ran up eagerly and saw the dozen or so fire beasts in Luo Fu's hands, thrilled—he had just wanted to go out and catch some fire beasts to roast.

She was also planning to replenish these two, but she followed Luo Fu's instructions and wouldn't go out until he returned.

"Master, you're back!"

"Back."

Gong Sun Huohuo immediately snatched the fire beasts from Luo Fu's hands and tossed them aside. "Brother Zhang, Brother Meng, you two start a fire and roast these fire beasts."

Before bringing them back, Luo Fu had already cleaned them outside, so they needed no further preparation—just hang them up and roast.

Zhang Bufan stared at the fire beasts Luo Fu had tossed to them, utterly baffled.

"Can these beasts be eaten?"

"Yes! And they're delicious! Brother Zhang, hurry up—better than any wild fruit you've eaten, a hundred times over. Roast them quick and try!"

Seeing Gong Sun Huohuo's insistence, Zhang Bufan joined Meng Guangbai to retrieve the branches Luo Fu had mentioned.

Once they had skewered all the fire beasts and placed them over the fire, they still held doubts, exchanging glances with each other.

"Thank you, noble one, for saving our lives. May we know your name?" Meng Guangbai pulled Zhang Bufan to their knees.

Luo Fu waved his hand, telling them to rise.

"Just call me Luo Fu. Saving you? Hardly—it was nothing. You two needn't be so formal; we met by chance, and I'd help anyone in need. Please, get up."

Earlier, while they were preparing to roast the fire beasts, Gong Sun Huohuo had already told Luo Fu about Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai.

Zhang Bufan and Meng Guangbai probably didn't come here just to hunt beasts in Wild Boar Forest.

But Luo Fu didn't expose them.

Zhang Bufan immediately said: "Brother Luo, could we ask for your protection on this journey? We'd like to travel with you."

"Unlucky timing—I and my master are just about to leave Wild Boar Forest, heading for Shanhe City. If you plan to keep searching inside the forest, we're not going the same way."

"You're going to Shanhe City!?"

Zhang Bufan's eyes instantly lit up, then quickly dimmed.

But in that fleeting moment, Luo Fu saw his expression clearly—though he said nothing, waiting to hear what he meant to say.

"Yes."

Gong Sun Huohuo said simply: "If you're going to Shanhe City too, then we're on the same path."

"Same path, same path!"

Meng Guangbai quickly added: "We originally planned to head for Shanhe City too, but got lost in Wild Boar Forest and couldn't get out, so we were delayed."

"If Brother Luo doesn't mind, could you please take us with you?"

Meng Guangbai nervously scratched his head: "We've been walking for days without finding our way out, so we had to stay in Wild Boar Forest. If you could help us, we'd be deeply grateful."
