As Yolanda spoke, she wrapped her arms around Darryl's arm and asked curiously, "How did you do that? Why couldn't the buck escape?"
'This man is unbelievable. There's nothing he can't do,' she thought.
"It's nothing. Those tree branches looked random but they actually contained the Five Elements and had mutual restraints," Darryl said, grinning.
Darryl did not explain much. After all, Yolanda was not familiar with formations and she would not understand.
After hearing Darryl's explanation, even though Yolanda did not truly understand, she still admired him.
Sergio collected his thoughts and said with disdain, "Pfft! What Five Elements? Those are all lies! That buck had exhausted its energy after I chased it. That's why it was trapped within the tree branches. All he did was take advantage of that!"
Then, he pulled Yolanda away and said, "Yolanda, you've forgotten what I told you again. There must be boundaries between men and women!"
Yolanda's face turned red as she pulled her hand back and could not help but say, "You're just in denial! Dart caught that buck. How was he taking advantage?"
Then, she said to Darryl, "Dart, let's roast the deer! I'm starving!"
"Great!" Darryl squinted and nodded.
He walked over and carried the deer, completely ignoring Sergio.
Darryl was upset with Sergio's attitude. Sergio insisted on showing off in front of Yolanda, even though he was incompetent. In the end, he was embarrassed but refused to admit it. However, Yolanda had always defended Darryl, lightening his mood and that was why he decided not to make a fuss.
As Darryl and Yolanda talked and laughed, they walked towards the run-down monastery.
Sergio was anxious and frustrated.
"Yolanda, wait up! I also contributed to catching that buck!" he cried as he hurried to catch up to them.
