On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2022: Choosing to take advantage of the situation

Mu Wan seemed to be hurt by these words, his face instantly darkened, and his teeth chattered: "What do you know?

It doesn't matter on normal days, but not on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month!

You must eat clean food and not anything dirty!

Otherwise, it will be like being poisoned, with no strength left in its body, unable to even stand, let alone go into the water! If it can’t go into the water, how can it search for treasure?

As Yinding listened, his mind suddenly became clear.

No wonder Zhou Lie was in such a panic before. One moment he brought people to interrogate the whereabouts of the two men, and the next moment he scolded the people who served the beast. He guessed that something had happened to the monster, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Think about the two men who were dragged away before, two living people, who were definitely not "clean". Mu Wan said that the divine beast would become weak after eating unclean things, so the situation of this divine beast now must be extremely bad.

Thinking of this, Yinding couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, feeling a little secretly happy in his heart - Mu Wan treated this divine beast as a treasure, and now that the treasure has a problem, let's see how arrogant she can be.

This subtle smile did not escape Mu Wan's eyes. She glared at Yin Ding fiercely, her voice so sharp that it seemed to cut through the air: "What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh!"

Seeing this, Yan Ruyu subconsciously moved forward. Mu Wan immediately looked at her, his eyes filled with madness: "You will all be buried with me!"

Huo Changhe glanced at Mu Wan, then at the silver ingot, and slowly said, "Since the divine beast is in critical condition, instead of wasting time here with us, you should go and check on the beast. If you waste time and something really happens to the beast, it will be a real loss."

Mu Wan's eyes flickered, as if he was persuaded.

Yan Ruyu took the opportunity to say, "I know some magic and have studied mythical beasts. If you'd like, you can take me to see them."

Mu Wan gave a short laugh: "You? What do you know about mythical beasts?"

"I even know about this, Mr. Mo. Do you think I wouldn't understand this?" Yan Ruyu said in a bewitching tone. "Anyway, we have hostages in your hands, and this island is under your control. What are you afraid of?"

What are you afraid of—these four words immediately aroused Mu Wan’s fighting spirit.

"Would I be afraid? Afraid of you?"

"If you're not afraid, then why don't you dare let us go? It's already in a bad state, how much worse can it get?"

Yan Ruyu could see that Mu Wan was somewhat mentally ill, had a strong desire to perform, and also had a strong desire to control.

This kind of person can make her angry with just the slightest provocation.

Once people get emotional, they tend to lose their rationality and are easy to deal with.

As expected, Mu Wan tightened the hairpin in her hand, looked at Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe, and said through gritted teeth, "You better not play any tricks! If I find out that you dare to set your sights on the divine beast, I will tear you into pieces!"

"Go, you're in front!"

Her eyes were full of anxiety and madness. She asked Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu to lead the group in front, while she walked behind with the silver ingots.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe walked in front, talking in low voices.

"It seems that our previous guess was only half right. The sacrifice was indeed to cover up something. The thing to be covered up should be what she said, asking the beast to find something in the water."

"Could it be the treasure from before?" Huo Changhe questioned. "Although they don't have the entire map, they have a portion. Maybe they think they can find whatever they can."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "It's possible."

"That kid Yinding destroyed their sacred beast by accident. No wonder she is so angry." Huo Changhe said with a smile.

Yan Ruyu also smiled: "You acted quite realistically just now, I almost believed it. But..."

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes: "The beast is injured, it would be better if it died."

The beast was originally innocent, but it was exploited by these people and has grown into something that harms people, so it must be eliminated.

How can a creature that can open its mouth and eat people be a good thing?

Huo Changhe agreed: "Are you sure?"

Yan Ruyu took out some dried meat from the space: "Use this."

"This isn't Xiaolan's..."

Yan Ruyu took a piece of dried meat, broke it with a little force, and found a black nail inside.

……

At the intersection ahead, Yan Ruyu stopped and Huo Changhe stood beside her.

Mu Wan's footsteps came from behind, and he followed with a slightly staggering look, carrying the silver ingot.

"We don't know the way." Yan Ruyu spoke first, her voice so steady that no ripples could be heard. "You go ahead. Don't worry, the silver ingot is in your hands, we won't move it."

Mu Wan's eyes swept over Yan Ruyu, then squinted at Huo Changhe's tense profile. He snorted coldly, his voice filled with undisguised sarcasm: "That's better."

She tightened her grip, and Yin Ding groaned, but she acted as if she didn't hear it. She led the others and took the lead. "Follow us, don't fall behind. If I don't see you when I look back, I'll cut off one of his fingers first."

Yinding lowered his head and rolled his eyes quickly. He could feel Mu Wan's palms burning because of his emotions—the uncontrollable anxiety.

He was happy when Mu Wan was anxious.

There was no conversation along the way, only the sound of footsteps.

Mu Wan didn't stop until the entrance of the cave appeared in front of him and moved aside.

Yan Ruyu looked up and her heart sank suddenly.

A mountain of bones was piled not far from the cave entrance, with layers of white bones, some of which still had pieces of flesh that had not been completely weathered, emitting a faint smell of decay in the air.

She subconsciously held her breath, but images emerged uncontrollably in front of her eyes - these bones once belonged to living people, they may have families, they may have concerns, but in the end they all became a pile of bones that no one cared about.

Sadness washed over her like a tide, enveloping her heart and making even her breathing heavy. The look in her eyes as she looked at Mu Wan was filled with a bit more deep hatred.

Mu Wan seemed to notice her gaze and suddenly turned around, his eyes fixed on Yan Ruyu.

"You, come in." Her voice was colder than before, with a strange sharpness. "Everyone else is waiting outside the cave!"

Huo Changhe frowned immediately and took a half step forward: "No, we have to go in together——"

"I said, only let her in!" Mu Wan suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Huo Changhe.

Yan Ruyu gave Huo Changhe a look - don't worry.

She turned to Mu Wan, her tone still calm: "I'll go in with you."

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath, said no more, and walked towards the cave entrance.

Mu Wan followed her with the silver ingots.

Huo Changhe clenched his fists at his sides, but ultimately remained silent. He just stared at Yan Ruyu's back until the figure disappeared into the shadow of the cave entrance.

There is a narrow passage inside the cave, which can only accommodate one person.

After taking just two steps, Yan Ruyu smelled an unpleasant odor.
