Chapter 54: Hostile Enemies
When he came back to his senses, Xiao Shao looked at his younger brother who had red eyes and a sad expression for a while, and then looked at other people who had the same expression as Xiao Han. Seeing them weeping and mourning for Xu Xiang, he became angry for no reason.
He frowned, feeling something pressing against his chest making it difficult for him to breathe. The uncomfortable feeling made his already cold face even colder. He didn’t understand his own bad mood and feelings, so he just nodded at Xiao Han, then walked to the mule cart.
As a former supreme general who went to the battlefield at the age of ten, he has lost countless companions and subordinates over the years. But he never had this suffocating feeling when he saw them die in front of him. Sitting in the mule cart driver’s seat, he looked at his empty left side for a long time.
After staring at the empty seat for a while, his eyes darkened. Turning his eyes away from that empty seat, he shook the reins of the mule in his hand. As they left the deep ravine, he glanced back one last time. No one knew what he was thinking under his cold expression.
At the bottom of the ravine, Xu Xiang was still busy collecting ore samples. She walked slowly, while scanning the surroundings with the detector. Whenever a new ore is discovered, she will collect some as samples and put them in her space.
The sun slowly climbed into the sky as she walked and collected samples. Without the sun as a timer, she doesn’t know the exact time. It wasn’t until her stomach growled with hunger that she stopped and went into her own space.
In her space, she washed her dusty body first, and then went to the gazebo not far from the lake. With a thought, she took out a barbecue rack, barbecue sauce, barbecue tools, a pack of coal, a lighter and a pack of assorted barbecue ingredients from the warehouses. With dexterous movements, she prepared the ingredients and skewered them.
It didn’t take long before she started grilling meat and skewers. A minute after the kebabs are put on the barbeque rack, she smears them with barbeque sauce and grills them for another few minutes. After a few minutes, she picked up a piece of meat with tongs, dipped it in chili sauce and put it in her mouth.
"Mhm~ Delicious."
