Chapter 238: Chapter 0238 Layout_1
“You, are you fancying a woman from Miaojiang and planning to find one here? I have to warn you, these Miaojiang won are not to be ssed with. What if they plant a Gu in you and you can’t even get it up?” Chen Xiao said.
“Could you be any more disgusting with your words, there are won here,” Vermilion Bird scolded.
“There are won? How co I don’t see any?”
Chen Xiao looked around and his gaze landed on He ngji, he smiled and said, “Indeed, there is a woman.”
With that remark, he completely disregarded Vermilion Bird as a woman.
“Get lost!” Vermilion Bird kicked at him.
Chen Xiao dodged, and the two of them started chasing and fighting in the courtyard.
Ye Xiong had long been accustod to their constant bickering on their journey.
“Why don’t you co back with us?” He ngji walked over and asked.
Ye Xiong thought for a mont and then told her about the Ice Gu in Yang Xinyi’s body.
“Whether the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast exists or not, this is the only way to save Xinyi; I must do this. After saving Xinyi, I will settle scores with Ghost properly, even if it ans digging three feet into the ground to find him.”
In Ye Xiong’s eyes, a fierce killing intent erupted, and the cold look made He ngji shiver inside.
“I’ll go with you,” He ngji suddenly said.
Seeing his puzzled look, He ngji continued, “Xinyi didn’t tell you about the poisoning because she was afraid you wouldn’t co to rescue . She did that for ; now that she’s in trouble, how could I just sit by and do nothing?”
Ye Xiong thought it over and shook his head.
“Whether the Sauna Mountain Divine Beast exists or not, the Miaojiang Guardian clan surely won’t let us approach. They are proficient in all kinds of Gu techniques; there will definitely be risks. Besides, other rcenary groups are also looking for the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast, and Dragon Group mbers are involved as well. The journey will be extrely risky; I don’t want you to take this risk,” Ye Xiong said.
“It seems like you have forgotten who I am. I’m not just any woman you know. I have my own rcenary Group overseas and have faced life and death situations, perhaps not much less than you,” He ngji said proudly.
Ye Xiong really had neglected He ngji’s strength, forgetting she was known as the Huaxia Think Tank outside, and although he hadn’t seen her in action, he guessed her martial arts were extraordinary.
“This is your own choice; just don’t regret it later,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.
“With you here, you won’t let anything happen to , right?” He ngji threw him a charming look.
For so reason, every ti he interacted with He ngji, Ye Xiong was captivated by her eyes.
Those eyes, not just any woman could possess them.
If it had been before, given such an intense gaze by her, Ye Xiong would have already made a pass. But now, with Xinyi’s situation weighing on him, he wasn’t in the mood.
“I can only do my best to protect you,” Ye Xiong averted her gaze.
He ngji found it strange; why had he suddenly beco so serious? He was entirely different from the man he used to be.
But she appreciated this new version more; a man should be mature and steady.
After chatting with He ngji for a bit, Ye Xiong went to find the Immortal Aunt.
“Immortal Aunt, I want to ask if you can cure Ice Gu?”
The Immortal Aunt was surprised and said, “Ice Gu is the poison of the ice silkworm, which lives in the far north, the king among Gus. Ordinary people not only have never seen it but have never even heard of it. I too have only heard rumors about it.”
“Is there anyone in Miaojiang who understands how to neutralize the poison of the Ice Gu?”
“For every type of Gu poison, no one dares to say with absolute certainty that it can be neutralized; it must be tried first. If you have a friend afflicted by this poison, I can attempt to cure it, but I cannot guarantee success,” Immortal Aunt said.
Ye Xiong didn’t dare to gamble. With the coming and going, five days would pass, and by then, if Xinyi’s condition was to be delayed, it would be a big trouble.
Moreover, listening to the other party’s tone, there was very little confidence. He wouldn’t entrust Xinyi’s life to soone who wasn’t sure of success.
Upon leaving the house, a group of people were already waiting outside, each with a grave expression.
Obviously, He ngji had told the others about Ye Xiong’s decision to stay behind.
“I didn’t expect my divination to be so accurate; this trip has indeed shown signs of great peril,” Chen Xiao sighed.
“I didn’t force you to co, so why the excitent?” Ye Xiong cursed.
“We’re all brothers; how could I stand by and do nothing? I’ll go with you,” Chen Xiao patted his shoulder, smiling, “If you die, who will pay a hundred thousand a month?”
Ye Xiong knew these were just polite words; with the reputation of the Mole, if he wanted to make money, let alone a hundred thousand, there were those who would pay him several hundred thousand to handle affairs, so he didn’t need to risk his life with him.
“Good brother, thanks,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.
“Count in,” Vermilion Bird said.
“You’re going, too?”
“I didn’t bring any money. If none of you are going back, where would I get the money for a plane ticket?” Vermilion Bird said indifferently.
“To thank you, from now on, I won’t call you Comrade Xiao Song; I’ll call you Sister Vermilion Bird,” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.
Next, the group of five set out to gather information about the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast. An hour later, they all gathered together again.
“After so investigation, in the midst of Thunder Mountain, there is a Thousand-Year Grotto, said to be the forbidden ground of Miaojiang, guarded all year round. The Divine Beast is inside there.”
He ngji stood in the midst of everyone, took out a black pen, and sketched on a piece of slate she had sohow acquired.
With a few simple strokes, she clearly delineated the topography of the area, obviously accustod to making such strategic arrangents.
Among the crowd, He ngji’s deanor transford in an instant, as if a female Think Tank in control of the battlefield, each move demanding respect.
“The defenders of the grotto are the core strength of Miaojiang. Inside are various masters, so adept in Gu techniques, others highly skilled in martial arts, and more – approximately several dozen people. Over the years, many have targeted the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast, but none have succeeded, mainly due to the guardians of the Divine Beast, whose strength is incredibly formidable, comparable to a rcenary Group.”
He ngji briefly introduced the information they had gathered.
“Skilled in martial arts and poison, and nurous at that, how are we supposed to get in?” Ye Xiong pondered in difficulty.
“In the past, it would indeed be troubleso, but now we have helpers. Besides us, I found out that there are two other rcenary Groups eyeing the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast: the Hunter rcenary Group, and the Mythical Beast rcenary Corps. Combined, these two groups have about sixty or seventy people.”
“Aren’t those our competitors, how can you call them helpers?” Vermilion Bird asked perplexedly.
“Whether they’re competitors or helpers depends on the perspective,” He ngji replied.
“What she ans is to let the two sides fight it out and we’ll take advantage of the chaos,” Ye Xiong explained.
“That’s exactly my thought. Now, let’s start planning on how to infiltrate the grotto.”
