Beauty and the Bodyguard

“It’s really a nine leaf red gold ginseng, but it’s been tampered with!”

Lin Yi leaned lazily against the wall, a mysterious smile on his face.”In truth, something was wrong from the very beginning. The nine leaf red gold ginseng’s fragrance was too strong, and it actually attracted us from so far away.”

“It’s even more strange that there aren’t any magical beasts guarding this heavenly treasure! You guys should also feel that something is wrong, right? The process of obtaining the nine leaf red gold ginseng was too easy!”

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Huang shanmao and the others were stunned. Indeed, the process of getting the nine leaf red gold ginseng was unbelievably smooth. If their team had such good luck, they could’ve retired and become rich a long time ago. Why would they take the risk?

It was just that they had been blinded by the nine leaf Scarlet Gold ginseng at that time. Even if they thought of this, they would still justify it with good luck.

Now that he looked back, he realized that there was indeed something fishy about it!

“In addition, there is a trace of an almost imperceptible strange smell in the fragrance of the nine leaf red gold ginseng. My nose is particularly sharp, and I’m especially good at identifying medicinal materials, but I couldn’t be completely sure of this at the time.”

Lin Yi shrugged and shrugged helplessly,”My words carry little weight in this team. Without any evidence, I can only give everyone a little warning. It’s up to you to believe it or not. I can’t change your decision!”

“And to be honest, I was only suspicious at the time. I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t have the courage to insist on my opinion. The final facts proved that my suspicion was correct!”

“The nine leaf red gold ginseng has indeed been tampered with. It was injected with another kind of medicinal liquid. It’s not poisonous on its own, but after fusing with the nine leaf red gold ginseng, it became highly toxic!”

“There is no doubt that this is a carefully planned conspiracy, and the target is our Guild! If I’m not wrong, the mastermind might have already surrounded us outside the cave and is waiting to attack us all at once!”

Huangshan Mao’s expression changed. Lin Yi’s words made sense. The nine leaf red gold ginseng was a precious treasure, and it was used as bait and injected with poison. The enemy must have a big target!

There was no doubt that their team was the other party’s target. If they first threw out the treasure that they couldn’t refuse, the nine leaf red gold ginseng, they might be able to provoke internal strife in the team and kill each other to eliminate a group of enemies.

Huangshan Mao’s team was still rather United and did not face such an extreme situation. However, it did not matter if there was internal strife or killing each other, it was just a side effect.

The most important thing was that the nine leaf red gold ginseng itself was a treasure that could increase one’s strength. Moreover, Huang shanmao’s team needed to increase their combat strength as quickly as possible, so it wouldn’t take long before the nine leaf red gold ginseng was divided and eaten.

There wasn’t a lot of nine leaf red gold ginseng, so it couldn’t be distributed evenly to every member. Therefore, only the most important and strongest members of the team could consume the nine leaf red gold ginseng.

If the plan went well, the strong ones in Huangshan Mao’s team would be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the remaining weak ones would naturally not be a threat!

As the leader of the adventure Team, Huang Shan Mao was naturally not an idiot. After understanding these points, his expression changed and he was filled with fear.

If it wasn’t for Lin Yi’s warning, huangshanmao and the others might really have taken the poisonous nine leaf red gold ginseng together instead of doing it in batches, letting sixth brother try it alone!

At that time, even Sima Zhongda might not be able to save the five earth formation stage cultivators in time. The chances of the entire team being wiped out were really high!

“Detestable! Who is it that put in so much effort to plan such a sinister plan against us?”

Huangshan Mao gritted his teeth, his face contorted with malevolence,”If I find him, I’ll definitely cut him into a thousand pieces and put him to death by a thousand cuts! Otherwise, I won’t be able to dispel the hatred in my heart!”

“Boss Huang, what Sima Zhongda said makes sense, but this conspiracy might not be targeted at us, right? We didn’t find any traces of our enemies when we came out of meteorite town. It’s impossible for someone to set up an ambush for us before we did, right?”

Jin ziduo looked at Lin Yi with suspicion,”Besides, the nine leaf red gold ginseng is a precious item. If our enemies really want to deal with us, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for them to ambush us?”

“Who would be so generous to use such a precious nine-leaf Crimson Gold ginseng as a poisonous bait? With this money, they can use it to increase their combat strength before ambushing us, isn’t that good?”

Huangshan Mao felt that what he said made sense. If he had the nine leaf red gold ginseng, he wouldn’t use it as bait to trick his enemy.

If he could do it himself, why would he need to pay such a huge price?

It was obviously more worthwhile to improve his strength!

Before he could figure this out, sixth brother finally made a move. His face was still pale, but his brows were relaxed, and he was no longer in as much pain as before.

With a slight groan, sixth brother slowly opened his eyes and looked at the top of the cave with a slightly dazed look. He thought for a while and gradually realized what the situation was.

“Sixth brother, you’re awake! That’s great!”

Jin ziduo put aside the question of the nine leaf red gold ginseng and revealed an ecstatic expression.

He wasn’t really that happy, but as the vice-captain, having a good relationship with the team’s only Alchemist was obviously beneficial. So although his expression was a little exaggerated, it didn’t lose any sincerity.

Huangshan Mao also went over and expressed his concern joyfully. The other team members also went over and greeted sixth brother.

No matter what they were thinking, at least on the surface, this adventurer team seemed to be relatively United.

Lin Yi was still sitting at the same spot, not showing any signs of getting close to her. There was even a slight mocking smile on his face.

After six accepted the greetings and understood the whole situation, he was surprised by Lin Yi’s methods and struggled to get up to thank him.

“Sima Zhong da, I really have to thank you this time! If you didn’t help me in time, I would have died! I can’t thank you enough for your great kindness. If you need my help in the future, I’ll definitely do my best to climb a mountain of daggers and dive into a sea of fire without hesitation!”

Six thanked Lin Yi with a straight face, and so did Huang shanmao. He was very grateful to Lin Yi for saving an important member of the team.

Lin Yi waved his hand and interrupted them. “Let’s not talk about these trifles! Boss Huang, don’t you think we’re in danger? Since the other party had arranged such a meticulous plot, how could there not be a follow-up plan?”
