Chapter 561 An Ambush in the Forest
Cao Erdan waited by himself at the car door.
As the train was about to stop, Huang Benchu and Bai Jie came out.
If Huang Benchu hadn't woken Bai Jie up, she would still be fast asleep.
As I walked out with Huang Benchu, I felt uneasy about something.
It feels like someone has picked at your skin.
Look at Huang Benchu, who is all serious, and then look at Cao Erdan, who is smiling.
My face felt a little hot.
It must have been that brat Cao Erdan who touched me while I was asleep!
But how did I suddenly fall asleep?
The three of them got off the bus, with Bai Jie following Cao Erdan and the others.
But Cao Erdan asked a question:
"Sister Bai, we went to pick up girls, what about you? Do you want me to call a male escort for you or something?"
Bai Jie quickly waved her hand:
"No, no, I have other things to do, let's part ways here!"
Huang Benchu tried to persuade her to stay, but Bai Jie had already hurriedly left.
As soon as she turned the corner, her phone rang.
A man's voice came from the other end: "Baka, Xingzi, you idiot, did you sleep the whole way? And you were played with by two men in turns, what can you do?"
Bai Jie couldn't explain that she had indeed made a mistake, so she could only apologize.
Fortunately, she had tampered with Huang Benchu's clothes just before they broke up.
……
Cao Erdan led Huang Benchu into a taxi.
Let him take you to the foot of Juxian Mountain in the northeast of Duofeng City.
in the car,
Cao Erdan looked at Huang Benchu with a half-smile.
Huang Benchu felt extremely uneasy looking at him.
"Master Cao, what are you laughing at? Just say what you have to say."
Cao Erdan laughed:
"In three minutes, excluding taking off and putting on clothes, what did you do?"
Huang Benchu raised his hand to the sky:
"I didn't do anything, really!"
Cao Erdan gripped his wrist:
"Look at your two fingers, they're all shiny and wet, what happened?"
Huang Benchu gave a lewd smile, immediately shrinking back a few feet, and whispered:
"I only scratched it a few times, otherwise it would have been a waste to have met them for nothing!"
Cao Erdan threw his hand away and cursed him for being a hypocrite.
In reality, there are many men like Lao Huangpizi who want to have affairs but are afraid of being laughed at for being lecherous.
Duofeng City is not very big. It didn't take long to pass through the city and arrive at the foot of Juxian Mountain.
The two stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up.
The city of Duofeng is surrounded by mountains, most of which have been developed into tourist attractions.
This mountain is the only one that hasn't been developed, because it's too steep and the development costs are too high, so it has remained in its original state.
Huang Benchu looked up at the mountain, then at Cao Erdan:
"Master Cao, what exactly do you want with me?"
"Exploring and treasure hunting may involve countless dangers and ambushes. Are you afraid?"
Huang Benchu drew his thunder staff from his waist and shook it:
"What's there to be afraid of? I'd go through fire and water to follow you, Master Cao!"
Cao Erdan patted Huang Benchu on the shoulder in praise.
Huang Benchu suddenly grew two centimeters taller.
Cao Erdan took out the sheepskin scroll.
We can determine this by following the path the wormhole has taken.
Indeed, the landscape painting depicts Juxian Mountain, and the wormhole represents the route.
"We are here now. If we walk a little further east, this is the best way to go up the mountain!"
Huang Benchu also stared intently at the scroll, but he was completely confused:
"Master Cao, are you saying there's treasure in these mountains?"
"I don't know if there are any treasures here, but there must be some great cave ruins here. If we find them, we're sure to find treasures!"
"Then how did you know someone would ambush us here?"
It's understandable that there might be dangers lurking in the mountains, but Huang Benchu couldn't understand why Cao Erdan was so certain that someone would ambush them.
Cao Erdan smiled slightly:
"When this painting was auctioned, an elder from the Star Gate was bidding against me."
After I got it, they intercepted me on the way and tried to steal it by force.
This shows that they already knew the secret of the painting.
Since this painting so openly depicts Juxian Mountain, if they can't find the Great Cave Heaven, surely they can find Juxian Mountain too?
Huang Benchu nodded: "That makes sense."
So, cautiously and with full guard, he followed Cao Erdan up the mountain.
This mountain is uninhabited, so it is very difficult to traverse.
In other words, Cao Erdan and Huang Benchu are both cultivators, not ordinary people. Otherwise, let alone going up the mountain, they would lose their way in the forest in no time.
At the beginning, Huang Benchu was in front, using a thunder staff to sweep through the tall grass and clear a path.
It continued until the moon rose high in the sky.
When the two reached the halfway point of the mountain, Huang Benchu wiped away a handful of sweat from his exhaustion.
Let's look back at Cao Erdan:
"Master Cao, how about... we let Youxiang come out and clear the way for a while?"
Cao Erdan chuckled: "Tired already? You're a cultivator, why are you so weak? Is it because you've wasted too much energy on women?"
Huang Benchu said aggrievedly, "Master Cao, you're really insulting me. I haven't touched a woman in ages while I've been at home. Besides, I can't compare to you in that respect!"
Cao Erdan shoved him:
"Get back on track! I'm having fun, but I won't let it affect my physical fitness!"
As he spoke, he unleashed the Heaven-Swallowing Slash, and the dragon energy condensed, instantly radiating brilliant light.
With a casual wave of his hand, a beam of light swept across the scene.
Ahead, trees were broken, rocks collapsed, and all the grass was gone, instantly clearing a path several dozen feet long.
Huang Benchu was so startled that he stuck out his tongue:
"Master Cao, you see you have the skill, why did you make me swing this stick for so long? It's like making me show off my skills in front of Guan Yu, making a fool of myself!"
Cao Erdan laughed and said, "It's fine for the capable to do more, but the capable can't do all the work. You came with me so that you could help me out!"
The two chatted and laughed as they climbed the mountain, so they weren't lonely at all.
Huang Benchu wanted Cao Erdan to release the little fairy Youxiang'er, but Cao Erdan refused.
He sensed an increasingly dangerous aura emanating from the mountains and forests as he ventured deeper.
The fact that Youxiang'er is hidden in her storage ring is a kind of trump card; keeping her might have a surprise effect.
while walking,
Huang Benchu suddenly crouched down and sniffed the grass that Cao Erdan had swept up.
Animals have an instinct to be alert.
Cao Erdan, reminded by him, activated his divine eye and looked over.
There were some messy footprints on the ground, but they were not easily noticed because they were hidden in the grass.
If Huang Benchu hadn't smelled the different odor, Cao Erdan wouldn't have noticed.
“These more concealed footprints were not long ago, so it looks like someone was ahead of us.”
Cao Erdan nodded: "Many people must know that there is a great cave in Juxian Mountain, so it's not surprising that some people are going up the mountain to look for it. We can just follow the directions on the map!"
Let's walk a little further.
There was some fog ahead.
Cao Erdan pulled Huang Benchu back:
"Be careful, the fog ahead isn't natural; someone might be causing it!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from the woods on the left, and someone was rapidly approaching.
Although the forest was dark and the trees blocked out the sunlight, Huang Benchu and Cao Erdan were both extraordinary people with superior hearing and eyesight.
At this moment, they immediately became alert.
"Who is it? Get out!"
As soon as I finished asking the question, I heard a hissing sound.
Cao Erdan said:
"There are hidden weapons."
He reached out and grabbed Huang Benchu's collar, then leaped upwards, sending more than a dozen arrows flying past his feet!
"Damn it, they're going to kill someone!"
Cao Erdan was furious that someone would kill him without even meeting him.
"Old Huang, let's go!"
The two men pushed off the tree and leaped forward, determined not to give the other a chance to fire a second arrow.
But as soon as the two landed, the archer quickly retreated and headed into the depths of the forest.
"You scoundrel, don't run!"
Huang Benchu roared and chased after him, swinging his thunder staff.
Cao Erdan, fearing he would suffer a loss, followed him.
In the blink of an eye, we were enveloped in mist.
Huang Benchu called out:
"Master Cao, be careful! The fog is poisonous!"
