Chapter 79 Today we'll go to Helan Mountain
After Jiuyou, he disappeared. He said he was planning to wander around Helan Mountain to see if there were any treasures or anything like that.
Su Ming and Mu Qianjin went back together with the military mages who were changing shifts in the morning.
After returning, I went straight to find Brother Green and the others.
The trip to Helan Mountain cannot be fruitless; they must at least achieve some tangible benefits, otherwise they will lose money on their airfare.
They found Green Brother in the Hunter Alliance. They had already found a hunter to lead the team. It wasn't time to set off yet, but Su Ming insisted on leaving now. Green Brother didn't have any objections, since they were going anyway.
Mu Bai pulled Su Ming aside and asked, "Did you discover something?"
Su Ming disappeared for a day; he must have discovered something to be in such a hurry, otherwise there's no reason for him to be.
Su Ming couldn't explain why he was in such a hurry. He hadn't discovered anything, only glimpsed Bi Fang's phantom, and might have been influenced by Bi Fang.
Su Ming could only confirm that this was the relationship.
"I didn't find anything, but I don't want to waste time here. By the way, keep an eye on Wu Ku when you have the chance. I have a feeling he's not a good person," Su Ming instructed.
Wu Ku pays close attention to him. If Su Ming goes, he will easily arouse suspicion, but Mu Bai is different. Mu Bai and Wu Ku don't have much interaction, so it's best for him to keep an eye on him.
Su Ming still has people to watch over him.
Liu Qi.
For some reason, Su Ming felt that Liu Qi had become somewhat strange, not in his behavior, but in his aura, or rather, in his sense of feeling.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's always a feeling about it.
Liu Qi has changed.
Su Ming's task was to keep an eye on Liu Qi.
As his best childhood friend, Su Ming was unwilling to spy on Liu Qi, but Liu Qi's actions were too strange. He had been nowhere to be seen before, but suddenly he came to Helan Mountain with him. It was strange to think about.
"Don't worry about that. I had a feeling that Wu Ku was suspicious before. Even if you don't tell me, I'll keep an eye on him. Besides, I have a feeling that Wu Ku might be hiding his cultivation level," Mu Bai said.
Wu Ku, a being known as Wu Bodhisattva by the people of the ancient capital, was only at the second level of the middle stage of cultivation.
is it possible?
It's obviously impossible; Wu Ku is most likely more than the second level of the intermediate stage.
"There shouldn't be any major problems. Mu Qianjin is still here. She has a bow that can handle any unexpected situations," Su Ming said. Besides Mu Qianjin, Jiuyouhou was also here.
Although we can't contact her, it can be considered a partial guarantee.
Wu Ku concealed his cultivation level, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that this team had some serious problems.
Su Ming shook his head, trying to put those thoughts aside.
He has already notified Wu Ku and Liu Qi to gather at the Hunter Alliance.
Wu Ku arrived shortly afterward, but Liu Qi was nowhere to be seen.
Su Ming frowned, stepped forward, and asked, "Isn't Liu Qi with you?"
Wu Ku shook his head and said, "He has some things to take care of. He'll come over once he's done."
Is something the matter?
Su Ming wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. If there's a problem, there's a problem. Losing one person isn't a big deal.
Mu Qianjin's friends also came, making a total of six people.
Su Ming, Wu Ku, Mu Bai, Mu Qianjin, Green Brother, and Ge Xin.
"Are we setting off today?" A middle-aged man walked over. He was part of the hunter team hired by Brother Green. They weren't particularly strong, but they were very shrewd and had a small reputation within the Hunter Alliance.
He and Brother Lu agreed to meet tomorrow, but the time has suddenly been changed, and the members who were preparing supplies have not returned.
"Tell them to hurry up, we'll set off at noon," Su Ming said.
The middle-aged man glanced at Green Brother beside him, who nodded to indicate that this man was their captain. The middle-aged man understood and said, "No problem, I'll tell them to hurry up."
After saying that, he started making phone calls to urge them on.
Within an hour, all the members of their team gathered, a total of seven, the standard configuration for a normal hunter team.
"Let's go," Su Ming said after seeing that everyone had arrived. He then went out and hailed two taxis to take them to the edge of Anjie.
They needed to wear gas masks when walking around the Helan Mountains, but they could go without them, though they would experience various uncomfortable symptoms. Wu Ku refused to wear a drug mask until his death.
He didn't seem afraid of this small amount of poison.
There are no toxins in the central part of Helan Mountain.
The surrounding area was no different from ordinary forests; the trees were normal and lush, making it impossible to imagine that there could be poison here.
Mu Bai, Green Brother, and Wu Ku were at the front, with the middle-aged man leading the way. The other members were in the middle, while Su Ming, Mu Qianjin, and Ge Xin were at the back of the group to prevent anyone from leading the way.
The hunter team member walking in the middle suddenly remarked, "This place feels a bit different. Isn't it getting too hot?"
Another member shared the same sentiment: "It's really too hot, completely different from when we came before. Something must have happened in the Helan Mountains, we need to be careful."
They were fairly familiar with Helan Mountain, having visited it several times, but this time the feeling was completely different.
Su Ming had some guesses in his mind.
Bifang had been asleep for a while, but she woke up not long ago. It is normal for the awakening of a totem beast that controls fire to cause changes in the temperature of this area.
Hopefully, those demons won't change all at once.
"I feel so awful!"
"What did you say?" Su Ming turned around; he thought he had just heard Mu Qianjin speak.
"Can't you hear me saying I feel terrible?" Ge Xin retorted, supporting Mu Qianjin and casting a healing spell on her, but the effect wasn't very noticeable.
This puzzled her. If the healing system couldn't resolve the symptoms, then it must be the wrong approach, meaning the cause of the discomfort hadn't been found.
"Huff, huff..." Mu Qianjin gasped for breath, "I feel so hot, like a block of ice being constantly melted away."
"Can you bear it?"
"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Mu Qianjin felt it was a problem with the Ice Crystal Bow.
She hadn't felt this way when she first came here, but now, as she went deeper, Mu Qianjin felt that the ice crystal bow was about to melt.
The Ice Crystal Bow is a familiar magical artifact to Bing, and the only reason for this feeling is due to the opposing attributes.
The fire, the rising temperature here, made her feel very uncomfortable.
The people walking in front also noticed what was happening behind them.
The middle-aged man's face was soaked with sweat beneath his mask, and the others weren't much better off.
Fortunately, there was no danger.
Everyone here is in this situation, except for Su Ming and Wu Ku.
Seeing that Wu Ku was completely unaffected, the middle-aged man couldn't help but marvel at how extraordinary Wu Ku was.
"Master, have you discovered the source of this heat? It wasn't like this when I came last year," the middle-aged man asked, while the others also looked at Wu Ku.
