Venerated Venomous Consort

“The outside world is not a happy land; it has changed. This place is the buffer zone, so let everyone rest more. We can depart again at dawn.

The old patriarch was stunned for a moment. “How… How do you know?”

Di Fuyi calmly said, “Since this mountain was a place where the nobles have been hunting, there must be people who often maintain it. Besides, you were the son of the owner of Luo Hua City. If you suddenly disappeared, the city owner would definitely send people to come and find you. Even if they can’t enter into the red fog area, they should at least search around this hillside. However, I just looked around, and there were only traces of human activities 100 years ago. No one has come to this place for around 100 years. There are only two possibilities for this kind of situation. The first is that drastic external changes have made this place worse than the red fog blockade area, and human beings have become extinct. Second, human beings have not gone extinct, but their range of activities has not been able to reach here.”

His analysis was reasonable, and the old patriarch could not counter it. Di Fuyi was right. This place used to be quite prosperous. There was a bustling station built by Luo Hua City along the way. There were often young noblemen who came here to hunt so there should be signs of human activity in this place.

In the past, when they were trapped, they had hoped that the city owners would send people to rescue them. Unfortunately, nothing happened. He thought that those who were sent were blocked by the red fog and could not enter the valley. He never expected that they could not even reach this hillside.

It seemed that the outside world was not as beautiful as they thought, and it had changed dramatically! What would be the significant changes? The old patriarch’s fists clenched as he looked at Di Fuyi. “What can we do now?”

“Everyone is tired. You all can take a break here first. I will go out and take a look. I will go to Luo Hua City first, and we can decide later.”

“I am going with you!” Gu Xijiu, who had been leaning on Di Fuyi, suddenly opened her eyes. It seemed like she was awake for some time.

Di Fuyi refused. “No, I am just going to explore. You stay here and take care of the villagers. Since the situation is unknown, there might be an attack during this period.”

The old patriarch also said, “Xijiu, Mr. Di is right. You should stay here to deal with any unexpected events.”

Gu Xijiu stood up. “There will be nothing unexpected here. I have already searched the area, and there has been no trace of any beast activity in recent times. Of course, there are no signs of human activity too. This place should be safe for the time being. It is enough to have Tie Dan and the rest to stay.

On the contrary, the outside world could be hazardous. If he went out alone, he might be in danger. Thus, it would be better for me to go together with him.” At a crucial time, she could use her teleportation technique to save his life.

Di Fuyi could not help but look at her. He did not expect her to have checked the surrounding so thoroughly when she appeared to be leisurely taking a stroll earlier.

Although she lost her memory and martial arts ability, her sixth sense was still extremely sensitive, and her style of work had not changed much.

…

Gu Xijiu felt very fortunate that they did not bring the whole team together in this period, or else they would all be dead! The sky was covered with thick clouds. Flowers, grass, and trees had grown everywhere, and the beasts were rampant.

The weeds were long and tall, and the shrubs that used to be at the height of their waists had now grown into towering trees here. The trees here were strange. All the branches had expanded toward the direction of the sky.
