Chapter 41 Back on the Road
As the night gradually faded away and the faint morning light seeped into the cave, Wang Yao slowly opened his eyes.

Its daybreak.

"Uh"

Wang Yao, who was preparing to get up as usual, hesitated for a moment because Luna was still leaning lightly on his chest, sleeping soundly.

Perhaps because of his "experience", Wang Yao was much calmer than the first time on such a morning.

Thinking back to last night, Wang Yao had forgotten how many movie stories he had told Luna, nor did he remember when the two of them leaned on each other. It might be because the wild area was too cold late at night, or it might be because the listener wanted to hear the storyteller's whispers clearly. In short, they sat together naturally until they fell asleep leaning on each other's warm body temperature.

Gently feeling the girl's unusually soft body and warm temperature, Wang Yao subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, his eyes unconsciously becoming a little dazed.

The first time Wang Yao looked at Luna so closely and seriously, he discovered that the girl next to him was truly flawless, like a favorite of God, with facial features that matched the golden ratio, skin as delicate as white jade, and fine, soft silver hair. All of this made her look just like the sleeping Snow White in a fairy tale, stunning and endearing at the same time.

If such a girl were on Earth with a well-developed internet, she would probably become an idol star that everyone would flock to, right? And such a girl was right beside him. Especially when Wang Yao looked at Luna's rosy lips, he was instantly distracted.

The subtle warmth that surged from the bottom of his heart made Wang Yao's heart beat at an extremely fast frequency, as if a little deer was beating wildly in his heart.
The bonfire in the cave went out slowly, and gray ashes kept falling off the charred charcoal sticks, leaving behind tiny sparks and wisps of green smoke rising up.

When Wang Yao retracted his focus from the girl's lips, he saw a pair of clear eyes as beautiful as stars.

Wang Yao, who finally came to his senses, was stunned.

He saw that Luna had woken up at some point, and was looking back at him in panic with her red face.

"."

"."

Without any words, this glance between them was almost eternal.

Then in the next second, they both looked away almost at the same time. Wang Yao was flustered, while Luna lowered her face, turned her back, and hurriedly put on the knee-high black boots placed aside.

The cave fell into silence.

Only a subtle ambiguity remained, silently spreading in this space.
This seemed to be another early morning that caught people off guard.

On the small road in the wild area.

Wang Yao followed the path, like a robot, marching mechanically and stiffly, moving forward step by step.

At this moment, Wang Yao was both nervous and embarrassed.

Because of the girl following behind him, and more importantly, because he felt her gaze was focused on his back as if it were real.

Luna seemed to be sizing him up, but Wang Yao didn't dare turn around to confirm. This feeling of being out of control made him feel really uncomfortable, as if he had a thorn in his back, or as if he had an itch but couldn't scratch it.

After walking for about an hour, finally—

"Um... Wang Yao?" A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Oh, yes!" Wang Yao stopped instantly and turned around on the spot.

Luna was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Yao standing at attention, she couldn't help but chuckle: "What are you doing! You are suddenly so serious, are you afraid that I will eat you?!" Wang Yao stared blankly at the smiling girl.

I never paid much attention to it before, but now I find that Luna looks really beautiful when she smiles.

He instinctively didn't dare to look directly at Luna's face, but just touched the back of his head awkwardly and said: "Nothing, I just feel a little embarrassed. Did I scare you this morning?"

Morning?

Thinking of the scene in the early morning, Luna's pretty face suddenly turned slightly red again.

In fact, she had never been so close to a man in her life, but the magical thing was that although she should have been resistant to this, she did not feel the slightest disgust.

What is going on?
Luna realized that the more she thought about it, the more her heartbeat became disordered. She quickly shook her head and said, "Actually, it's okay. I'm not angry."

At the end, he added seriously, "But don't do this when you're with other heroes, because if you keep staring at the heroes, it will be considered an offense and you will be punished."

"Is that so?" Wang Yao curled his lips in disapproval: "Tsk, except for you, I'm not interested in seeing anyone else even if they come close to me. Huh?!"

Wang Yao realized that he seemed to have said something wrong accidentally and subconsciously covered his mouth with both hands.

Look at Luna again.

But she just pursed her rosy little lips and looked at Wang Yao with a sweet smile. Her extremely clear eyes were shining with soft light, which made Wang Yao's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

But before Wang Yao could say anything else, Luna pointed at the armor-piercing bow on his back and said, "By the way, I wanted to ask you yesterday, where did you get this silver longbow on your back? I can feel that it seems a little unusual."

"Unusual?" Wang Yao was stunned.

"Hmm." Luna nodded and said thoughtfully, "But I can't really explain it. I just feel that this longbow has a very strange aura, which is very similar to the aura emitted by our hero. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

"You're probably overthinking it. I found this bow in the wild area. I think it's very useful, so I carried it with me." Wang Yao said with a smile. Although he looked natural on the surface, his heart was rippled by Luna's words.

A heroic aura? What is that?
Wang Yao felt that maybe his phone with the mysterious purchase interface might be related to the heroes? Because now that he thought about it, this phone was simply a bug in this "heroic" alien world!

With this thought in mind, Wang Yao regained his natural state of mind and chatted with Luna all the way. About two hours later, after climbing over a series of hills, the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

In the distance, I saw a snake-like ochre line, winding its way to the distant horizon.

"Finally back on the road!" Wang Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath. He had never felt that being on the road was so familiar.

"Hey! Look, we just caught up with the main force's route!" Behind him, Luna came over and pointed to the distance on the upper road.

Wang Yao followed the girl's slender fingers and saw a long blue line in the distance, moving forward along the upper road. It was a huge army composed of countless soldiers.

At the same time, Wang Yao also saw that behind the soldiers, there seemed to be a huge shadow moving slowly.

what?
Wang Yao couldn't help but squint his eyes and look carefully, and suddenly, his pupils shrank into a point.

"Is that a gun carriage?"
