Ye Guichen was speechless for a mont.
He hadn't done anything yet, but had already promised himself a benefit.
However, Ye Guichen didn't directly refuse but started to survey his surroundings.
Suddenly, Ye Guichen heard so rustling noises coming from behind a large tree not far from him.
Ye Guichen's heart sank: "Could there be a Devil Snake again? I don't want to be eaten."
Nonetheless, he raised the Immortal Slayer Sword and rushed over.
With a swing of the Immortal Slayer Sword, he effortlessly sliced through the large tree.
To Ye Guichen's surprise, there was no Snake Demon there but rather a person in a particularly sorry state.
It was Dongfang Feng, whom Ye Guichen had seen before.
Dongfang Feng had multiple wounds on his body and looked sowhat dazed, obviously frightened.
His clothes were already tattered and torn. Upon seeing Ye Guichen, his entire body instantly tensed up, displaying a look as if faced with an enemy.
"Elder Feng? Is, is it Elder Feng?" Zhu'er clearly also recognized Dongfang Feng, overjoyed, quickly ran forward, shaking Dongfang Feng: "Elder Feng, it's , I'm Zhu'er from Miss Yue'er's side."
Dongfang Feng was in a daze for a while but seed to finally be shaken awake by Zhu'er. He looked up at Zhu'er, his tears overflowed uncontrollably, rushing out with a wail.
A grown man crying in such a heart-wrenching manner.
Zhu'er looked baffled.
This was the esteed elder of the Dongfang Family, usually soone high and mighty, not even glancing at her, how could he cry like a woman?
However, there's no place for crying here.
If he ends up crying and attracting so frightening monster, then it's truly a reason to cry.
"Elder Feng, Elder Feng, quieter, quieter." Zhu'er quickly covered Dongfang Feng's mouth.
Dongfang Feng seed to suddenly realize their current situation, his crying abruptly stopped, and he dumbfoundedly looked at Zhu'er: "Zhu'er, why are you here?"
"I..." Zhu'er didn't know what to say, having lost Dongfang Yue, she would definitely be punished.
But Dongfang Feng clearly didn't intend to question further and soon noticed Ye Guichen.
"Is it you?" Dongfang Feng didn't expect Ye Guichen to appear here, quickly gathered himself to look more composed, and said solemnly: "Kid, since you could make it here, it seems you have so skills. Our Dongfang Family has specific ways to find Miss Yue'er. Unfortunately, along the way, my subordinates either died or were injured, and now it's just left. Oh, and Elder Ming has already gone down to the snake pit, it's been a day and night, and it seems there's not much hope left."
Dongfang Feng quivering pointed to the downward entrance Ye Guichen and the others saw earlier.
Clearly, Dongfang Feng had also been through quite a few terrifying things these past days.
Looking at Dongfang Feng's appearance, Ye Guichen could easily guess what he had gone through these past days.
He probably ended up ntally collapsing under the relentless pursuit of the Giant Python.
After all, the Giant Python was too formidable.
That Dongfang Feng survived was purely accidental.
"Elder Ming went down?" Hearing Dongfang Feng's words, Zhu'er perked up and quickly grabbed Ye Guichen's arm: "Brother Ye, we should go down quickly."
Ye Guichen was covered in black lines.
That Dongfang Ming went down for a day and night without coming up, probably dead too.
And you want to go down, thinking I don't die fast enough?
"Kid, I'll go with you." At this mont, Dongfang Feng spoke, hesitated for a while, but still encouraged: "Since you're here, your cultivation is surely not weak. If you can help rescue Miss Dongfang Yue, you will be a benefactor of our Dongfang Family. I will put all efforts to help you obtain the qualification for the marriage competition, no, make you Lady Yue's fiancé."
Ye Guichen looked at Dongfang Feng as if he were an idiot.
At this ti, still drawing such a big pie for himself.
But thinking it over, this Dongfang Feng might not know the Dongfang Clan Leader had already promised Dongfang Yue to the Yan King's son.
It seems that in the Dongfang Clan Leader's eyes, all Dongfang Family mbers were just pawns.
"It's too dangerous inside, I don't want to go down." Ye Guichen shook his head, truthfully saying: "After all, life is precious, I don't want to risk it for a woman. Also, I'm truly not interested in your family's lady."
Dongfang Feng panicked.
Zhu'er also panicked.
"Brother Ye, you are a god-like figure, if you don't help, why are you here?"
Zhu'er looked at Ye Guichen with puppy eyes, feeling Ye Guichen's image instantly collapsed because of his words.
Dongfang Feng also quickly said: "Little brother, to be honest, if we can't rescue Miss Dongfang Yue this ti, I'm afraid it's only a dead-end for . Even if I'm begging you, help this once, my life will be yours in the future."
Ye Guichen looked interestedly at Dongfang Feng: "So, if Dongfang Yue dies, you will be buried with her?"
Dongfang Feng drooped his head: "Yes, our Dongfang Family seems prestigious, but aside from the Clan Leader, everyone is like walking on a razor's edge. Before coming this ti, our Clan Leader already said Dongfang Yue is extrely important to our Dongfang Family, if Miss Yue can't be returned, I will be buried with her."
Ye Guichen was surprised: "In that case, why are you working so hard?"
"Ah, I'm a Dongfang, it's only natural to do my part." Dongfang Feng said, seeming heartfelt.
Ye Guichen was speechless.
This Dongfang Feng indeed seed a bit foolishly loyal.
But he wasn't a saint.
Their life and death had nothing to do with him.
"Senior Dongfang Feng, I don't care about your life, I also don't care about Dongfang Yue's life, I only care about my own life. I feel going down will surely be dangerous, and very dangerous, so I choose not to go down."
Ye Guichen finished speaking and turned away.
Dongfang Feng and Zhu'er looked at each other.
After talking for so long, you just turn and leave?
Really not a man!
Dongfang Feng felt he had wasted his emotions, he had just been open-hearted and sincere, yet you are not moved.
Watching Ye Guichen's back, Dongfang Feng sighed: "Zhu'er, let's go down together. You know the Clan Leader's temper, if anything happens to Lady Yue, both of us will die."
Zhu'er obviously knew the Dongfang Clan Leader's fearso nature too, biting her lip, nodded vigorously.
There's no choice now.
Ye Guichen's skills were impressive, but they couldn't force him to help.
Moreover, after so long, Dongfang Yue is probably dead.
Going down now is just clinging to a sliver of hope.
The two exchanged a brief glance, and with a look of courage.
Dongfang Feng led the way, slowly sliding into the hole, Zhu'er followed, and went in too.
Ye Guichen didn't leave too far.
Ye Guichen wouldn't do anything unsure.
Going down blindly, even if there were endless treasures inside, even if there were heavenly artifacts, one would need a life to enjoy them.
Ye Guichen watched Dongfang Feng and Zhu'er enter the hole, shook his head, and began to survey the surroundings.
