Chapter 886 - Back to Square One
Chapter 886 Back to Square One
They had taken three of the four antidotes, and only one of them was real. Of course, even if they didn’t take it away, the medicine would be useless to Lin Jiahui. The medicine must be missing something. The so-called prescription in the ancient books might not be completely true.
If it was, then how could they explain the existence of the Banxia and the Golden Laurel Snake?
“Who do you think will win if the Nine-Tailed Snake and the Golden Laurel Snake fight?”
19 joked with the two on the road. In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao was also quite curious about this question. However, seeing that the two of them were silent, he said, “Guess what else is in 15’s bag other than the strange things that have gathered along the way?”
This time, Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. She asked 19,”Don’t tell me that he also caught a Nine-Tailed Snake in his bag?”
“Hahaha, congratulations, your answer is correct.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her bag with an ugly expression. D*mn it, she was the one who was carrying this bag.
Yan Kuan’s expression was also not good. He immediately wanted to take the bag over, but 19 stopped him. He said to the two of them, “Don’t worry. It’s just a very small snake that was soaked in a container by 15. It’s long dead. It’s a specimen now. A specimen to be brought back for research.”
Hearing this, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. But this was too much. Was Dark 15 really stupid? He had to catch everything. Everything was very strange.
“Eh, there’s no way out.”
When 19 shouted, the two of them saw that there was really no way out. They should have reached the side slope long ago when they came back from the original route. However, they did not reach it even after walking for almost half an hour. Moreover, what was in front of them now was actually a cliff. Were they lost? Or had they fallen into a bewitching formation?
“I didn’t expect that even after we were so careful, we were still brought here by this white fog. The bewitching formation here is really powerful.”
Yan Kuan looked around and saw that there were no shadows within a five-meter radius. He pulled out the iron chain to tie himself and Shen Xiaoxiao first, then tied the two children to his waist. Only then did he look at 19 and said, “Hold on to the rope and follow closely. Once we separate, we’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow morning before we can walk out. At that time, we’ll become targets for others.”
19 naturally knew what Yan Kuan meant. He immediately nodded his head to show that he understood. He held onto the rope tied to Xiaoxiao and was filled with vigilance.
Yan Kuan released his modified aircraft almost 10 meters above his head. They stood on the spot and did not move. Only when the aircraft flew 20 meters did the images come back.
The white fog was actually 20 meters thick and there were tall bamboos all around. It was not easy to identify the route.
“We have been heading east just now, right?”
“Yes, we have been heading east.”
Yan Kuan put away his detector. As he was standing still, the detector was safe when it fell back into his hand. However, if they continued to go east, it would be a cliff. How were they supposed to go? “Let’s continue to go east.”
“Ah? Boss, it’s a cliff.”
Yan Kuan didn’t look worried at all. He looked at 19 and asked, “Did Little Treasure pee again?”
“A little.”
“Sprinkle it in the direction of the cliff.”
Hearing Yan Kuan’s words, 19 took out the remaining half bottle of urine and sprinkled it on the cliff.
What surprised them was that it was just a cliff, but now it was a short side slope. Was this really a bewitching formation?
However, the scene soon disappeared and turned into a cliff again. 19 looked at Yan Kuan in surprise and asked, “What’s going on? Did the child urine stop working?”
“This is camouflage. Would a normal person walk toward the cliff when they see it? Of course not. They must have lost their sense of propriety immediately. Little Treasure’s child urine is obviously effective. Didn’t we see something different just now? It’s just that the array formation around here is too strong. Just that little bit of child urine isn’t of much use. Therefore, if you want to break such an array formation, you either have the ability to fly into the air, or you have to force yourself to jump.”
Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything, while Yan Kuan put a rope on his flight device, wanting to let the flight device scout the way first.
Everything was ready, but at this moment, a voice came from afar: “Please help me ask the prophet to bless our clansmen again.”
“Chief, you should leave quickly. You should know that after midnight, there can be no more people in the forbidden land. If anything happens to you, we won’t be able to take responsibility.”
“I know, I know. That’s why I rushed here overnight. Please help me inform the prophet.”
“The prophet won’t see you. You should know that the prophet will not easily receive guests at night. However, the prophet has a message for you.”
“Oh? What message?”
Even though they were far away, they could hear the surprise in the words of the clan leader. This Shen Guoan was really good at lying. The people in the villages below were so superstitious, yet they were fooled by him. The prophet… What could he possibly know?
were so
“The prophet has found the evil children. The time for the sacrifice will be three days later at midnight. At that time, the king will descend. The chief can let your people enter the forbidden land.”
“What? Really? Our king will really descend?” “Why? Are you doubting the prophet’s words?”
“No, no, no. How could I dare to doubt, how could I dare to doubt? Thank you, prophet, thank you, messenger.”
“Alright, go down now. Remember, only the white fog can light the torch. Otherwise, if the white fog burns you to death, we will not be responsible. Also, under your feet, don’t lower your head if you step on anything.”
“I understand, I understand. I understand everything.” “Go, take the pass talisman.”
The two seemed to have separated, but Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan both felt that someone really came to them for them to use.
The sound was less than 10 meters in front of them. The detector had just been sent out, but Yan Kuan had tied a small string to its body, so they could see it even more clearly this time.
The small detector was directly placed in the chief’s bag. Because it was small and had just received a hint, the chief did not dare to look down even though he felt that the bag seemed to have been pulled by something.
On the other hand, Shen Xiaoxiao was deep in thought when she saw the white fog in front of her. She could not even touch the fire, but it was very similar to the white fog she saw in her dream.
However, this was not the time to think about this. It was not easy for someone to lead the way for them, so she naturally followed that person immediately.
This long thin line affected the distance between them. A few times, Shen Xiaoxiao felt as if she was stepping on something soft. It was similar to meat, but also similar to the wriggling snake.
However, because they had heard that they must not lower their heads, no one lowered their heads to take a look. After walking for about half an hour, they reached the edge of the bamboo forest, and the white fog gradually disappeared. They could only see the dense mountain forest in front of them.
“Boss.”
19 glanced at Yan Kuan, who immediately nodded. 19 immediately followed closely behind the clan leader’s footsteps. Since there was a talisman that could bring them in and out of this place freely without being confused by the white fog… Then surely they must get it.
