I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 223 - 220 Going into the Mountains to Search for
Chapter 223: Chapter 220: Going into the Mountains to Search for Treasure – Part 2 Chapter 223 -220: Going into the Mountains to Search for Treasure – Part 2 Taotie and Tom exchanged glances and nodded.
Seeing their nods, Fang Xiaocao took out a printed map from her pocket and handed it to Wan Xiaozhou, “Alright, the task of scouting ahead is yours. Mark the trail as we had discussed earlier. If you encounter any danger or anything unusual, immediately turn back and regroup with us.”
Fang Xiaocao smiled as she gave these instructions to Wan Xiaozhou.
Wan Xiaozhou nodded and smiled back, “Got it, Princess Your Highness!”
Tom stepped forward and pulled out a few things the size of black beans from his pocket, handing one to Wan Xiaozhou, “Here, this is an earpiece. Just shove it in your ear, don’t worry about getting it out. Within a kilometer radius, we can communicate without barriers. The standby time is 72 hours. Beyond a kilometer, it depends on the signal strength.”
Hearing Tom’s words, Wan Xiaozhou blinked and flashed him a grateful smile, “Thanks, brother Tom~”
Saying so, Wan Xiaozhou pinched the earpiece and stuffed it into his own ear, “Is this how I wear it?”
Tom nodded, “Exactly like that. Go ahead, but be mindful of the distance, don’t exceed a kilometer.”
Wan Xiaozhou smiled, glanced at the map, and with long strides, darted off, disappearing into the dim depths of the forest in just a few bounds.
After Wan Xiaozhou left, Tom activated a few more earpieces and handed them to Fang Xiaocao and Taotie.
Fang Xiaocao and Taotie, following Tom’s instructions, fitted their earpieces and also followed in Wan Xiaozhou’s footsteps, heading deeper into the mountains.
In the night, the mountain forest rustled with the sound of leaves.
Every so often, unidentified birds emitted a few creepy cries, giving Fang Xiaocao goosebumps.
Taotie and Tom were both extremely vigilant.
They positioned themselves to either side of Fang Xiaocao, ready to protect her in the middle, prepared to face any unforeseen dangers.
In Taotie’s hands, he carried a black long sword of distinctive quality, clearly made from the same material as the black daggers possessed by Fang Xiaocao and the others.
Under the beam of the flashlight, it gleamed faintly.
Fang Xiaocao had no doubt that even if a tiger charged at them, Taotie, with his beastly strength, could split it in two with that black sword.
Tom’s hand rested on the holster at his waist, his gun was loaded and ready. At any sign of danger, Tom could instantly draw and fire his gun!
Compared to Taotie and Tom, Fang Xiaocao felt utterly weak. She couldn’t compete with Tom in shooting, let alone knife-fighting with Taotie. She wasn’t even a match for Wan Xiaozhou, the weakest among the three of them.
The only skill she could boast was her hypnotism, but it had many limitations and wasn’t instantly lethal nor effective against multiple people.
About three kilometers in, Wan Xiaozhou’s voice came through the earpiece, “Princess Your Highness, I’ve found wolf droppings and signs of wolf activity, and the droppings are fresh. They must have just left recently. We can be certain there’s wolf activity nearby, we must have entered their hunting grounds.”
Hearing Wan Xiaozhou’s report, Fang Xiaocao stopped dead in her tracks, shocked as she turned to look at Taotie and Tom.
Fang Xiaocao was completely stunned!
What’s happening?
We just entered the mountain and already encountered a wolf pack?
Looks like Hot Noodles wasn’t kidding!
This really is both thrilling and dangerous!
That’s a wolf pack!
More than just thrilling and dangerous…
One misstep and we could end up dead.
However, Taotie and Tom’s expressions remained unchanged.
It seemed that, to them, a wolf pack was nothing to worry about.
Tom pressed his ear, “Keep moving forward, stay alert, and avoid encountering the wolf pack. If you do encounter them, climb a tree immediately and wait for support!”
“It would be best if you could ascertain the number of wolves.”
Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.
Good grief, are we about to take on a wolf pack?
We came here to treasure hunt, not for poaching. Is it necessary to risk our lives against a wolf pack?

“Um…”
“Tom, are we not trying to provoke the wolf pack?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked, cautiously asking.
“Princess Your Highness, don’t worry. They are just a few puppies, I, Taotie, can chop them all with one swing of my blade.”
Before Tom could respond, Taotie confidently declared.
“Uh…”
Fang Xiaocao was at a loss for words.
She couldn’t argue with Taotie’s statement!
With Taotie’s ferocious ability, he indeed could do just that.
“Princess Your Highness, Taotie is right.”
“Just a few wolves, no need to be scared!”
“This mountain is right behind our villa. Given the hunting habits of the wolves, our villa is also within their hunting area. If we encounter them, we can deal with them right away, preventing them from mistakenly entering the villa and launching a surprise attack on us.”
