"Not long after you entered the Linzi, we were discovered," Qi Jingyun exhaled. "We had no choice but to split and hide." He paused, "I ca out voluntarily." He no longer referred to himself as ’this king’.
Gu Qingheng frowned.
"I have to accompany you." Qi Jingyun rarely smiled, "Otherwise, wouldn’t Xinxin hate to death? She’s my God of Wealth, after all."
Gu Qingheng snorted with laughter, then nodded, "With the Prince accompanying under suspicion, I consider myself blessed." He also stopped referring to himself as ’this General’.
"Does this an we’ve been through hardships together?"
"If we can make it out alive, then yes," Gu Qingheng nodded, "But... that’s all."
Qi Jingyun was taken aback for a mont, then nodded, "So, what should we do next?" The other party was making his position clear that even if they had beco friends, he would still support the Crown Prince.
Right now, nothing else mattered; their main goal was to save others as much as possible while ensuring their own survival.
"This place is much more complicated than I imagined," Gu Qingheng’s expression grew serious as he recounted the situation they had inspected earlier.
Qi Jingyun’s brows furrowed as well.
"We are too few in number; we stand no chance if we take action," Gu Qingheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "But, since we’re here, we can’t just do nothing, so..."
"We can destroy this place," Qi Jingyun and Gu Qingheng locked eyes.
The two reached an agreent.
"Let’s sleep now," Gu Qingheng said as he turned and entered the room, with the little tail Ming Guang hurrying in after him.
Qi Jingyun went into the room across the hall.
As for Zhang Tiankuo and Yun Lan, they took turns on night watch.
In the middle of the night, the gold ca back, and Gu Qingheng noticed the little thing seed a bit bulkier. He couldn’t help but poke its head, "Where have you been?"
The gold twisted its body comfortably and flicked its tongue. Of course, it had been out hunting. This place had too many poisonous creatures, simply too delightful. Suddenly, rembering sothing, it darted out and ca back with a small black box the size of a baby’s fist on its head.
"What is this?" Gu Qingheng looked at the small black box.
The gold shook its head, as if to say, ’Isn’t it obvious it’s a box?’ A box filled with highly toxic contents, probably containing sothing poisonous, so it had stolen it.
Gu Qingheng also sensed the poison gas emanating from the box, which even made him feel dazed for a mont, showing how potent the poison was. Strangely, it had a lid like a ring box, but try as he might, he couldn’t open it. He increased his strength, but it still didn’t budge.
Gu Qingheng was frustrated. With his powerful Inner Strength, the force he used could leave finger marks in an iron block, yet he couldn’t crush this small box. Whatever was inside must be very important.
He then placed the box on the ground, applied more force, and struck the box again. There was a ’pop’ sound, but the box remained intact.
"Forget it, let’s just keep it for now," Gu Qingheng resigned himself, took out a leather pouch from his backpack, and placed the box inside.
The gold also had no choice but to give up.
anwhile, Fla was in a furious rage because the Poisonous Insect warehouse had been robbed, all the insects were gone, and even the mother insect was missing. Strangely, there were no traces of anyone entering.
