182: Chapter 182 The Temptation of Food

At this moment, Qin Mo and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the canyon cave.

The three of them immediately became vigilant, standing at the entrance of the canyon and refusing to go in for a long time.

The people from the Beautiful Country could think of it, so naturally the three of them could too; walking straight in now would be just like being a living target.

Therefore, none of the three dared to bet on whether the other side was lying in ambush at the cave entrance.

"Qin Mo, what should we do? Should we go in?"

Ye, who was on the side, said with a grave expression.

Qin Mo waved his hand, signaling not to be in a hurry.

"The other side is very likely lying in ambush at the cave entrance, and we don't know the situation inside. It would definitely be very unsafe to rush in now."

"Then what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo lowered his head and pondered.

As it stands, this cave is like a tortoise shell; he really didn't have any way to deal with it for the time being...

That's it!

Just then, a light suddenly appeared in Qin Mo's eyes.

Isn't he capable of fortune-telling! How could he have forgotten about this?

Immediately, Qin Mo closed his eyes and began to divine.

"What is he doing?"

Platoon Leader Ji asked, pointing at the eyes-closed Qin Mo.

Ye glanced at Qin Mo and said indifferently, "He is fortune-telling!"

"What? Fortune-telling?"

Upon hearing this, Platoon Leader Ji's eyes widened immediately.

As a materialist, she didn't believe in any ghosts or gods at all, let alone fortune-telling...

In her view, these were all tricks used by scammers to deceive people. If fortune-telling were really useful, then everyone would know their own future destiny; how could that be possible!

Thinking to herself, Platoon Leader Ji frowned and said, "Are you joking with me? How can this thing be real? And what kind of time is this? How can we use fortune-telling to decide whether to enter? This is too childish!"

"Hehe..."

Ye revealed a mysterious smile and said indifferently, "I don't know about others, but he is very accurate!"

"Sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Platoon Leader Ji sighed and then began to pace on the spot.

She felt she didn't know if she had gone crazy, or if the two of them, Qin Mo and Ye, had gone crazy, that one actually believed in fortune-telling, and the other actually started divining...

This is truly...

Just then, Qin Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

"How is it? Is it auspicious or ominous?"

Ye asked indifferently.

A trace of coldness appeared in Qin Mo's eyes, and then he said indifferently, "Very ominous!"

"What?"

Ye's expression changed immediately.

"Very ominous" meant a situation where one would certainly die. It was fortunate that they hadn't rashly entered directly, otherwise, the three of them would probably have died without a burial place.

Platoon Leader Ji, watching the two of them looking confused, couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What 'big chest'? Whose chest is so big?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo and the other's faces immediately turned purple from holding back...

Ye shook his head and explained with a funny look, "This is a term used in fortune-telling. 'Xiong' (ominous) refers to danger, not that 'chest' (xiong)..."

"It means that the inside of this cave is extremely dangerous; if we go in, there might be no chance of survival..."

"Ah?"

Platoon Leader Ji was stunned for a moment, and then her face became flushed...

"I'm dying of laughter... What a great 'big chest'!"

"Hmm... it is indeed quite big..."

"The person above, you better be talking about inside the cave!"

"How can you make a dirty joke out of anything? Shouldn't this be the highlight moment of fighting three hundred rounds with the opponent?"

"The person above is clearly an elementary school student. Go back and do your homework. This is for adults to watch; a child like you shouldn't watch it!"

"Get lost! I'm already in middle school!"

"Don't talk back, elementary student. If I'm not mistaken, isn't today Monday? And if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't it be class time right now?"

"Also! I just checked your homepage address. You are in Sea City, and you're at the Twenty-first Middle School. Wait a moment, I'm going to call your principal and have your phone confiscated immediately!"

"No! Brother, I was wrong! I won't talk back anymore..."

"Hahahaha..."

"I'm dying of laughter. This kid already understands the importance of power at such a young age..."

"Then what do we do?"

At this moment, the three of them were sitting at the entrance of the cave, bored to death.

Platoon Leader Ji, who was on the side, asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo said in a low voice, "Wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for them to come out on their own."

"What?"

Platoon Leader Ji's eyes widened immediately.

"They went through so much trouble to crawl in, how could they possibly run out on their own!"

Qin Mo raised his head slightly and revealed a mysterious smile.

"If I remember correctly, they have also been traveling for a day, and they haven't had a drop of water. When they went in, I specifically checked their equipment."

"There is no food inside. In other words, they have nothing right now. How long do you think they can stay inside? When they are so thirsty and hungry that they can't take it anymore, do you think they will come out?"

"That's right!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Platoon Leader Ji's eyes immediately lit up.

Qin Mo continued, "You two keep watch here, stay at the entrance. They shouldn't come out in a short time. I'll go find something to eat now."

The two nodded, their eyes fixed firmly on the cave entrance without blinking.

Then Qin Mo picked up the bow and arrows on the side and walked in the direction they had come from.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the sky had slowly turned dark.

Qin Mo walked over, holding the bow and arrows in his left hand and carrying two cleaned wild chickens and two rabbits in his right hand.

The two of them were overjoyed at the sight; they had long been starving and immediately took the prey to prepare for roasting.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Mo immediately stopped them upon seeing this.

"What's wrong? We should be able to make a fire now, right?"

Both of them looked at Qin Mo with puzzled expressions. Logically speaking, they weren't afraid of the people from the Beautiful Country finding them now, so making a fire shouldn't be a problem.

Qin Mo turned his head to look at the cave entrance, then revealed a mysterious smile: "Of course we can make a fire now, and we'll roast it right at the cave entrance!"

"What do you mean?"

Both of them looked at Qin Mo, completely confused.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo helplessly spread his hands and smiled, "Everyone has been hungry for a day. We'll eat roasted meat and let them smell the aroma; that should be fine, right?"

Holy crap?

Upon hearing this, the two's eyes immediately lit up, and then the corners of their mouths curled up into a mischievous smile.

"Holy crap! The Streamer is too evil! Hahaha..."

"They are already half-dead from hunger, and you are still using the aroma to stimulate them. You guys are full, won't these people from the Beautiful Country be tortured half-to-death?"

"The Streamer is so evil, so evil! I like it! Hahaha..."

"People from the Beautiful Country: Brother Mo, our country lacks an interrogator. I think you are quite suitable. Do you want to come over for an interview?"

"Hahaha, so talented!"

At this moment, inside the cave.

Several people had been guarding the cave entrance motionless for the whole day. Because they were afraid that Qin Mo would come in at any time, none of them dared to rest for even a moment.

But unexpectedly, they had been waiting for nearly a day, and let alone Qin Mo, they hadn't even seen a shadow of anyone.

"Tom, are those Dragon Country people not coming? We've waited for a day, I'm so hungry!"

A White man said.

"No!"

Tom denied it with a look of certainty: "They must be right outside, it's just that they don't dare to come in now!"

"Then when do we have to wait until? I'm so hungry!"

Another Black man also complained with a face full of impatience.

"You guys... did you smell something? It smells so good!"

Just then, a White man sniffed hard and said with a look of longing on his face.

Upon hearing this, Tom immediately frowned and said, "What smell? Did you smell it wrong?"

"Really! I smelled it too!"

Without waiting for the man to speak, the Black man on the side said with a face full of surprise, "It's true, it seems to be the smell of roasted chicken!"

"What?"
