788: C788 Crisis Lurking

C788 Crisis Lurking

The next day. Dawn was slightly tipsy.

Lin Xuan got out of bed early, packed his things and immediately left.

Since he couldn't delay his arrival at the Southern Barbarian Mountains to gather medicinal herbs, he had to hurry.

He was worried about Qin Shishi, even though he had instructed the Azure Dragon and Luo Feng to protect Qin Shishi.

However, since he couldn't stay by Qin Shishi's side and take care of her, he still couldn't let his guard down.

Thus, it was imperative that they reach the location of the Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, and Sky Marrow as soon as possible. Regardless of whether or not they could gather any medicinal herbs, they had to return as soon as possible.

Lin Xuan's execution ability was absolutely first-rate.

Whatever he decided on, regardless of whether it was a storm or a storm, it would all be a double journey.

Along the ridge, between the rolling mountains, moving forward.

After walking for another day, they had already seen that not far ahead of them was the peak of the Southern Barbarian Mountains.

According to the fragments of the Hundred Herbs Painting that Zhang Sizhen gave them, the highest peak up ahead was where the Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, and Sky Marrow were.

Seeing that hope was not far ahead, Lin Xuan braced himself and went all out, arriving at the mountain peak in one breath.

He would stay at the highest peak of the Southern Barbarian Mountains for the night, and tomorrow morning, he would start searching for these medicinal herbs.

As long as he could find the medicinal herbs, he would be able to leave quickly.

Therefore, he continued to climb. The higher he climbed, the harder it would be to climb.

In many places, it was a cliff that was as high as a person. There was no place for Lin Xuan to climb, so he had to use his Cultivation Level to jump.

It had to be said that these few medicinal ingredients grew in such a dangerous place. Finding them was indeed an opportunity and only by paying attention to luck would one have a chance to gather them.

Other than the sheer cliffs, there were also dense thickets and thorns everywhere. They shuttled back and forth, almost never passing the head of a person. They were all thick and big trees that reached the sky.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's Cultivation Level was not weak. This kind of mountain range, for him, was not too difficult.

Not far ahead, there was a mountain peak which was the peak of the Southern Barbarian Mountains.

Lin Xuan stretched his muscles and took a deep breath. As long as he climbed up, he would be able to reach the summit.

"Ah!

Suddenly, a blood-curdling screech sounded, and it was a woman's voice.

Suddenly hearing this scream, even Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

Someone?

Could it be that someone lived here in the Southern Barbarian Mountains?

Lin Xuan thought about it as a matter of course, but with his Cultivation Level, he had already learnt how to distinguish one's position just by listening to the voice.

When he heard that scream, he hurriedly jumped over while being alert.

A few of them stood up and leaped lightly towards the source of the scream.

When he stood on a green rock and looked toward the source of the sound, he saw a figure curling under a cliff.

Obviously, she couldn't climb that cliff and fell down.

What was going on?

This figure …

Lin Xuan jumped down with ease and walked straight to that figure. The closer he got, the more he frowned, "You …" Who is it? Are you alright? "

When Lin Xuan came closer, that figure slowly turned around while bouncing on the ground.

Lin Xuan's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He stared at the person in front of him in surprise and asked, "Xiao Chuchu? How could it be you? What brings you here? "

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuchu tilted her head up, twisted her neck, straightened her back, straightened her chest, and confidently said, "What do you mean by 'follow'? Is there a rule that says Southern Barbarian Mountains is yours? You don't allow me to come? "

Lin Xuan's brows slightly sunk. While The Sea World was eating, Xiao Chuchu mentioned the Hundred Herbs Painting. In other words, she knew that the Southern Barbarian Mountains had these few medicinal ingredients: Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, and Sky Marrow?

The reason why they were looking for Hundred Herbs Painting s was only for the Hundred Herbs Painting's medicinal ingredients. Could it be that Xiao Chuchu had followed them here as well?

Lin Xuan thought for a while and said in a low voice, "No wonder I felt that someone was following me these past two days, it's you!"

"You are truly shameless. What do you mean by following me? Don't tell me that I myself will not come, or that you are the one following me?"

Lin Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sized up Xiao Chuchu a few times, "Oh?" Then why did you come to Southern Barbarian Mountains? "

Xiao Chuchu looked up stubbornly. "I …" What am I doing here, what is it to you, why should I tell you? Furthermore, this Southern Barbarian Mountains, is so beautiful, can't I travel? "

"Since you know about Hundred Herbs Painting, you must be here for the Ganoderma Lucidum, Dragon-blooded Cinnabar Fruit, Jade Bone-ed Celestial Orchid, Sky Marrow and other medicinal ingredients, right?"

Xiao Chuchu raised her hand to push back her glasses. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Lin Xuan crossed his arms in front of his chest in a playful manner, "Really? "Then if you travel slowly, I won't have the time to accompany you on a sightseeing trip …"

"Who wants you to accompany me? We'll take the main road and walk our separate ways. You go your own way, I'll go mine alone. Who wants you to care!"

Xiao Chuchu was afraid that Lin Xuan would see through her thoughts. Speaking of which, it was really dangerous just now. She forcefully climbed up the steep cliff and slid down. Luckily, she didn't fall too badly.

However, his ankle was already injured, so it was impossible for him to continue climbing up the mountain.

She had been hiding behind Lin Xuan the whole way, so she knew that there was still another group of people.

She had been careful to keep her distance from the group.

Only last night, when she was alone in the desolate mountain, she was really scared. Thus, she sneaked into Lin Xuan's cave and hid outside the cave for the night while shivering.

Because at that moment, she knew in her heart that even if she were to encounter any vicious birds or fierce beasts, Lin Xuan would not just leave them be.

Originally, she'd kept her distance all the way here today, but her strength was limited when she reached the precipice and it was difficult for her to climb up.

This fall just happened to startle Lin Xuan, and he was found out by Lin Xuan.

However, she could not let Lin Xuan see through her thoughts. Thus, even though she said those words unyieldingly, her heart was already on the verge of collapse.

If Lin Xuan really didn't care about her, she would be dead now with her ankle broken and injured.

The key point was that Wang Hao, Mu Qian, and the rest were there too. She sighed in her heart. This group of people were truly well-trained.

Moreover, they had hidden themselves very deeply. Even though Xiao Chuchu had been paying close attention to their movements, even though they were about to reach the peak of the Southern Barbarian Mountains, she had not seen any trace of them at all.

So where were they hiding?

Of course, Xiao Chuchu was deeply aware that this group of people had secretly followed Lin Xuan for the sake of the expensive medicine that was indicated on the Hundred Herbs Painting's fragment.1

From the looks of it, this was already a hidden danger within this Southern Barbarian Mountains …
