Lu Zhen’s understanding of the Dragon Spirit was only superficial; he knew nothing of the Dragon Spirit’s character and temperant.
At the mont, Lu Zhen whispered to himself, thinking no third party could hear.
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Spirit shot him a sidelong glance, snorted coldly, and walked right past them.
Lu Zhen guiltily lowered his head, then stepped back a bit. It wasn’t that he intentionally spoke ill of the Dragon Spirit; it was just that his tongue moved faster than his brain.
The sun also slowly rose at this ti, and the sunlight pierced through the layers of leaves, reaching the ground.
The snakes, insects, rats, and ants hiding in the grass also quietly settled down, as if they had never existed at all.
Lin Xiang’er had been watching ever since the Dragon Spirit left to make a phone call.
In her impression, the Holy Master was never an easy person to talk to and rarely smiled.
Just now, she clearly noticed that the Holy Master seed very happy, as if expecting sothing.
This led Lin Xiang’er to develop a trace of suspicion.
At this ti, a rustling sound ca, and the Special Administration Bureau mbers imdiately beca vigilant.
It wasn’t their fault for making a fuss; even before, both Gu Chu and Lu Zhen had been easily fooled without them noticing.
This was enough to prove that the things in the Gu God Hall were quite sinister.
Before long, everyone slled a pungent, rancid stench coming from their left side.
"Oh shit! A giant python!!!"
No one expected to encounter such a huge python when they ca here. Its appearance even polluted the surrounding air.
"Could this python also be sothing raised by the Gu God Hall?"
Bound tightly, Lin Xiang’er reflexively kneeled upon seeing the python.
Everyone: ...
Just from Lin Xiang’er’s reaction, the answer was obvious.
The python didn’t imdiately look at its ’prey’; it glanced, sowhat puzzled, at the Dragon Spirit standing nearby.
The strong stench made the Dragon Spirit frown, but he didn’t imdiately take action to kill the python.
The most important thing was, the Dragon Spirit instantly recognized that the python had already developed spiritual wisdom.
He had already brought Yun Ran over; perhaps he could find the Heavenly Dao Origin from this python.
Gu Yuan was eager to act, but seeing that the giant python didn’t imdiately attack them and instead stared at the Dragon Spirit, he hesitated slightly.
This made Gu Yuan’s heart tremble slightly, after all, the Dragon Spirit was an imposter.
It might fool others, but if the python was specially raised by the Gu God Hall, it might distinguish the true Dragon Spirit from the fake.
Just like the Magic Artifacts of us Xuann people can easily recognize their owner.
Just when Gu Yuan’s heart was in his throat, the Dragon Spirit glanced over.
The python, which previously appeared aggressive, suddenly backed away a bit, then obediently bowed its head in submission.
A childish voice ca from the python’s direction: "A-She greets the Holy Master!"
The voice didn’t seem like much at first, but soon everyone saw their talisman papers being rapidly consud.
The Dragon Spirit waved his hand, his tone carrying an irrefutable command: "Stand down!"
The python hesitated for a mont but obediently retreated.
Originally questioning the Holy Master’s identity, Lin Xiang’er dismissed the thought after seeing the Holy Master command the snake Gu.
The python quickly disappeared, but the pungent stench still lingered dominantly around them, refusing to disperse.
Lin Xiang’er had remained kneeling from the start, only standing when soone noticed her pale complexion.
"Is this stench poisonous?"
Gu Yuan rembered what the Dragon Spirit said before: that if the Gu Worm in them wasn’t removed, they would risk dying with their ’lover’ if the lover passed away.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed several Detoxification Pills into Lin Xiang’er’s mouth, including those Yun Ran had given him before.
Lu Zhen was also deeply worried and had several protective talisman papers placed on Lin Xiang’er as well; he was a bit scared too.
"Did the python’s voice carry so kind of sound attack effect?"
Otherwise, it didn’t make sense why the talisman papers on them would deplete.
Seeing Lin Xiang’er’s complexion returning to normal, Gu Yuan sternly inquired, "What’s with the python?"
Lin Xiang’er looked at Gu Yuan in surprise, clearly not expecting that even after coming here with the Holy Master, they still didn’t know?
Perhaps, the Holy Master intended to get close to these Special Administration Bureau people for his own purposes but didn’t actually tell them anything.
Lin Xiang’er glanced at the Dragon Spirit but only saw his back. She had previously betrayed the Gu God Hall at the Holy Master’s behest.
But now, unable to guess the intent, Lin Xiang’er lowered her head, played dead, completely like a pig unafraid of boiling water.
Gu Yuan was speechless at this sight but ultimately didn’t press further to avoid unfavorable consequences.
"Keep an eye on her!"
After giving these instructions, Gu Yuan approached the Dragon Spirit.
Logically, they should charge into the Gu God Hall all at once now.
But the Dragon Spirit stopped and seed to want to rest here.
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, "Did you find anything suspicious?"
Having never been on a mission with the Dragon Spirit before, Gu Yuan didn’t realize how difficult it was when soone in the team was capricious.
Unfortunately, this was abroad, and the number of people they could bring was limited, unlike at ho where a call could summon countless people.
With fewer people, they must collaborate without internal conflict or dissent.
The Dragon Spirit, unaware that Gu Yuan had tagged him as difficult, found a seemingly solid rock to sit on.
In the Dragon Spirit’s understanding, there was never any concept of teamwork; in any case, he did things to make himself happy.
After sitting down, the Dragon Spirit answered Gu Yuan’s question, "There’s nothing particularly wrong here, although it’s a bit sinister, but it’s okay for ."
Gu Yuan suppressed his exasperation, "Then why are we stopping here when we’re about to reach the Gu God Hall?"
The Dragon Spirit nodded, "Yes, we are almost there, but I have to wait for soone. If I go in first and sothing inside goes missing, I might get blad."
Being wrongfully accused of sothing was exactly what Yun Ran would do; who knew whether the treasures inside were intact, and he didn’t want to take the bla.
Gu Yuan: ...
"Who are you waiting for?"
