Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Riding Tigers Together (Part 2)
Mo Zhi, in this state, is clearly the ghost of the Shura tribe, condemned to the Abyss Purgatory, never to reincarnate.
For Yun Ran to encounter a problem of this probability, there’s truly no one else like her.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao has deemed her a ’bad seed’; whether it’s Yun Ran herself or the ones she raises around her, they’re all species that can pierce the heavens.
Yet, seeing Yun Ran’s distressed expression, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
However, given that they’re now on the same boat, Xuan Chu felt that if he didn’t offer some comfort, it would seem somewhat unkind.
He immediately patted Yun Ran on the shoulder: "If there’s anything I can help with, just say the word."
Yun Ran: ...
She’s the undisputed ruler of Qingfeng Temple, one hundred pounds in weight, ninety-nine of which is defiance; does she need anyone’s sympathy?
"Too much nonsense, has the evil energy finished evolving? Is the sealing repaired?"
Being rebuffed with consecutive counter-questions by Yun Ran, Xuan Chu just wanted to slap his previous self: Why did you have to speak unnecessarily!
The good news is, Mo Zhi, who has grown two demon horns, is absorbing death energy at a speed that is several times faster than before.
At this rate, the death energy in this area will soon be completely absorbed.
Yun Ran is satisfied, but the second wave of people who entered the forest were truly losing their minds.
They arrived at the location, thinking that even if purifying the death energy here was required, it would at least take several months.
Enough time for them to extract the semi-finished Yin Jade Marrow.
However, they never expected that the deadly Yin energy here was rapidly decreasing, leaving them with little time.
How difficult it is to dig through ground covered in ice and snow is known only to those who dig by hand.
The expression on the face of their leader was extremely complex.
Back then, they clashed with the eldest lady, and now this decrease in deadly Yin energy is clearly her handiwork.
"Boss, what should we do now, maybe we should contact the eldest lady, since the medicine is meant for the gentleman after all..."
"Keep digging, as much as we can. What the eldest lady wants to do, no one can interfere!"
Upon hearing this, the others could only continue to furiously dig.
If they upset the gentleman, he might consider their hard work and spare them.
But if they upset the eldest lady, that’s another story; people who once schemed against her face dire consequences.
Rumor has it, one of them is even the gentleman’s legitimate cousin, now living a life worse than death, locked away.
On the other side, Gu Yuan, along with his people, finally reunited with Ba Ji and his team.
The reduction in death energy was clearly perceived by both Ba Ji and Gu Yuan.
Ba Ji covered his chest, his wrinkled face filled with joy, "It’s great, the Mountain Spirit has awakened."
Being the Mountain Guardian, he is naturally aware of every place within this forest; only, since the Mountain Spirit fell asleep, there were many places he couldn’t go.
Now that the Mountain Spirit has awakened, it means there are no more ’Forbidden Land’.
Ba Ji quickly took out his self-drawn simple map and pointed to a few places.
"These places are the most crucial in the mountain; setting purification arrays there will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Gu Yuan just wanted to say these places are quite far.
Although their physical condition is excellent, the snow-covered surroundings would lower efficiency.
They might as well divide into groups with the map without needing a guide.
Then, Ba Ji put his hand into his mouth and blew a whistle.
Soon, a few large and strong tigers emerged from behind a small snowy mound not far away.
"We’ll ride the tigers there."
Gu Yuan: ...
Before meeting Ba Ji, the Thunderbolt Team had already informed Gu Yuan about him.
Gu Yuan knew the elder is not only the Mountain Guardian, but also an ancient village chief and capable of controlling tigers.
But he didn’t expect that they could actually ride tigers now?
The others, facing the tigers, were instinctively a bit afraid.
Ba Ji waved them over with a smile: "Don’t worry; now that the Mountain Spirit has awakened, as the Mountain Guardian, letting a few tigers carry us is a minor matter."
In the end, aside from Ba Ji and Gu Yuan, who looked relaxed, the others were tense all over despite managing to ride the tigers.
"Hold tight to the tiger’s fur!"
As Ba Ji finished speaking, the tigers started running; fortunately, their equipment was super cold-resistant.
Otherwise, with this speed, the cold wind slamming into them could really freeze them.
Who knows what Gu Yuan was thinking, but he suddenly took out his phone and started recording their ride on the tigers.
"I’m so cool; this video must be in this year’s recap meeting!"
This forest is far larger than people imagined, and after nightfall, they had only completed two of the purification arrays.
According to Ba Ji’s simple map, they needed to set up arrays in at least ten different places.
Yet no one complained; this time was already far beyond what they had anticipated.
The people from Heavenly Dao Village, as well as those sent by Xie Xuzhi, had finally arrived.
Yun Ran sensed the new arrivals and directly ordered Mo Zhi to return to the Jade Token.
Xuan Chu could turn a blind eye, but she had wasted considerable effort, even exposing her own prohibition to achieve that.
With others, she had no such relationship and dared not take the risk.
If faced with someone who hates evil and could not tolerate even a speck of dust, then things would get troublesome.
She couldn’t stand the criticism; one or two remarks she could endure, but more than three, she would flip the table.
"Master..."
At this moment, Mo Zhi looked at Yun Ran expectantly; she didn’t know how she grew those two horns, afraid Yun Ran might despise her.
God knows she just wanted to bask in the benefits of the master and cling to her leg, merely a ’little waste’.
"Be good, I know you have thief’s intentions but no courage; I’ll definitely protect you, won’t let you get caught~"
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s words, Mo Zhi immediately stopped feeling wronged and returned to the Jade Token.
Boohoo, she really had sharp eyes back then, clinging to the master like a big tree with such security.
Xuan Chu observed the entire scene, sighing, "I’ve truly seen what it means to say human words to people and ghost words to ghosts; no wonder so many people confront you and end up defeated."
