Chapter 714: Malu Caused Their Misfortune

So, when third Team was descending the mountain, fifth Team immediately hid and waited for them to move further away before following the same route and venturing deeper into the mountains.

They had heard third Team's conversation earlier, and the place where the giant beast appeared was just ahead. Although two days had passed, the signs of the battle were still visible and easy to find.

Third Team had no idea about the presence of a bear in that area now, but it used to be the territory of a tiger, indicating that it was already deep in the mountains. Even if the tiger was no longer there, it was a place where large predators would frequent, and the chances of encountering danger were high for someone unprepared.

Ma Lu didn't actually intend to harm fifth Team's members. If they hadn't been so greedy and let their desires cloud their judgment, and if they had exercised and observed more, they could have avoided the danger.

But it was their own fault for their lack of foresight.

As Fang Xiyue explained the situation to Shu Yu, inside the room, the members of fifth Team were groaning in pain and intermittently explaining the cause and effect to Wang Changdong.

However, upon hearing it, Wang Changdong was exasperated. "You're blaming third Team for this? Did they force you or drag you into the deep mountains secretly? Do you have some ulterior motive? You're the ones causing trouble, always making a fuss. You hunt so little and catch such small prey, yet you have the audacity to drag third Team down with you. Idiots!"

Compared to the trouble-making fifth Team, Wang Changdong naturally preferred Ma Lu and the others who were competent, didn't cause trouble, and brought honor to themselves.

So, after realizing that third Team had nothing to do with the incident, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it any further.

Wang Changdong turned to the doctor and said, "Take care of them, give them proper treatment, and send them back home. This has been a bloody mess."

He felt nauseous.

No matter how much fifth Team protested, Wang Changdong left, and the other officials ignored them as well.

Third Team happily watched them from outside the house, then went to deliver their catch and prepare to return home.

Shuyu also didn't pay any more attention to them. As other hunting teams gradually returned, they all went to see fifth Team.

Upon hearing that they were injured by a bear, everyone couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy. The excitement and eagerness to go into the mountains and hunt the giant beast that had been stirred up by third Team's words slowly subsided.

Especially for the members of tenth Team, who were on their first day of hunting, their expressions changed after seeing the situation.

They hadn't caught much since it was their first day and they were still getting used to it.

After registering their catch, Shu Yu didn't have to wait long before the team that was clearing the waste land came back.

She saw the members of her own family again, but this time they didn't say much. They quickly took the food and left. When they saw that the food hadn't been deducted, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Shu Yu sneered at the scene. She wasn't interested in manipulating things in a place like this.

If she were to do something, she would do it on a larger scale.

However, Shu Feng and Shu Quan, who had originally wanted to change their work and go hunting in the mountains, never mentioned it again. It was unclear whether they had abandoned the idea or had other plans.

After completing her tasks, Shu Yu saw off the injured members of fifth Team, who had been treated, as they were sent back home.
