Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246: Killing with a Borrowed Knife?
The vague pleasantries were brief, and soon, under the leadership of Gu Dewei and Gu Guangyi, the group flew outside the city.
Ye Haochuan was rather lucky, as he couldn’t fly, Gu Ying carried him, and along the way, he took advantage quite often.
What Ye Haochuan didn’t expect was that their flight was targeting the direction of the Endless Blood Abyss.
Oh my, really? So there’s the tomb of an era’s Medicine King here, and after hanging around in this area for so long, I didn’t even notice.
Ye Haochuan muttered to himself silently.
"Be careful, everyone, the blood miasma in the Endless Blood Abyss is very dangerous, don’t fly too low!"
Gu Guangyi instructed and handed out small medicine bottles to everyone, continuing, "In these bottles, there are pills to ward off the blood miasma. Only take them when you need to dive in."
When the pill reached Ye Haochuan, Gu Guangyi paused, then handed over a different bottle to Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan felt puzzled and opened the medicine bottle to sniff it, immediately frowning.
This bottle didn’t contain pills to ward off the blood miasma but just ordinary Infant Energy Condensation Pills. Although not poisonous, they were completely useless against the blood miasma.
Wow, this is clearly trying to borrow a knife for murder!
Ye Haochuan didn’t expect Gu Guangyi to be so ruthless to Zhang Li, even plotting with the pills.
Ye Haochuan could only smile bitterly; his chosen substitute was indeed unfortunate, unwittingly dragged into a disaster.
But who am I? Someone who can easily be plotted against?
Ye Haochuan mused silently to himself.
"Eat it immediately when you face danger!" Gu Ying instructed coldly.
Ye Haochuan pressed his lips and said, "I feel this pill isn’t very useful!"
"What? You dare to question my father’s pill?" Gu Ying was slightly angry.
Even though she had some feelings for Ye Haochuan disguised as Zhang Li, he was merely a male pet, whose words couldn’t compare with her father’s.
Ye Haochuan broke into a cold sweat; he had just casually spoken out noticing Gu Ying’s good intentions, not expecting such a large reaction.
Just as he was thinking of a way to explain, a voice of puzzlement arose from ahead, "What’s going on? Why is the blood miasma completely gone in the Endless Blood Abyss?"
"Impossible, a month ago I was here, the blood miasma filled the area, making it terrifying. How has it completely vanished in just a short month?"
"Could it be some Great Power came through and simply dissipated the blood miasma?"
They all knew the danger of the blood miasma, even the leader Gu Family ancestor Gu Dewei dared not touch it lightly. If someone could dissipate it, how powerful must that person be?
Ye Haochuan laughed silently from the side.
There was no Great Power here; this is clearly Little Lei’s doing.
But thinking about this, his smile suddenly froze.
"It’s been a while, and I don’t know where Little Lei is now?" Ye Haochuan felt a twinge of worry.
The experts from the Gu Family were still marveling internally, for it was likely their first time walking so calmly on the blood-colored ground of the Endless Blood Abyss.
Gu Guangyi gave Ye Haochuan a cold glance, snorted lightly, evident feeling of some regret.
Originally, he planned to use this chance to manipulate Ye Haochuan’s death, so Gu Ying would not indulge in male interests, but without the blood miasma, his plan was immediately thwarted.
"Whatever, whatever, there are always opportunities later; I want to see if you keep getting this lucky!" Gu Guangyi muttered spitefully.
Ye Haochuan also caught sight of Gu Guangyi, bitterly smiling within.
Damn, I’m just here to tag along for the treasure, can you not target me for some petty ridiculous reasons?
Moving along, the group surprisingly faced no danger, causing everyone to marvel repeatedly.
Only Gu Dewei and Gu Guangyi had sober faces, fearing that whoever dispelled the blood miasma might have already breached the Medicine King Tomb.
Until they entered a cave and saw scattered, somewhat decayed meat pieces on the ground, Gu Dewei became completely flustered.
"These are Blood Abyss Viper Beasts of the True Immortal initial and mid-stage, a dominating presence in the Endless Blood Abyss, now slaughtered before the Medicine King Tomb; it seems the tomb has likely been stolen!" Gu Guangyi appeared defeated.
The information on the Medicine King Tomb was his hard discovery, originally thinking he could use this chance for the Gu Family to soar, yet didn’t foresee...
At this moment, the middle-aged man skilled in treasure hunting suddenly opened his mouth: "It seems the Medicine King Tomb’s entrance hasn’t been opened!"
By now, Ye Haochuan knew this middle-aged man was named Xu He.
"What?" Gu Guangyi showed elation, grabbed Xu He, "Say it again!"
Gu Dewei was slightly more stable, yet still awaited Xu He’s reply with anticipation.
Xu He took out an odd-looking compass, checked it, and looked around, finally affirming, "The entrance to the Medicine King Tomb should be below that stone platform; the platform shows no signs of moving, and the yin sha energy inside hasn’t leaked, indicating nobody has opened it!"
"Then what’s with these Blood Abyss Behemoth carcasses here?" Gu Guangyi asked in doubt.
After observing awhile, Xu He replied, "These Demon Beasts seem to have been used for sacrificial offerings! The purpose of the offerings seems to be to awaken a special life form—Blood Charm!"
"Blood Charm? You mean one of the three mystical guardians of the Medicine King?" Gu Guangyi had clearly done his homework, asking directly.
Ye Haochuan pricked up his ears at this moment.
Before, he was feeling morose about being at the entrance to the Medicine King Tomb and not realizing it, a proven dull fool.
But hearing about the Blood Charm, he completely set that matter aside, wholly focusing on the Blood Charm affair.
After all, this pertained to Jiang Shuying’s situation.
Compared to Jiang Shuying, anything concerning the Medicine King Tomb naturally had to take a back seat.
Xu He nodded, saying, "The Blood Charm is quite special; reportedly, after the Medicine King died, the Blood Charm sealed itself here and divided countless clones to guard the place. However, something happened later, and the Blood Charm was completely obliterated by a Great Power."
"I discovered the Blood Charm’s deeds in an ancient text, seemingly after the Blood Charm clones were annihilated, its strength severely dwindled, only through a specific sacrificial method could it be resurrected.
But this sacrificial method is nearly lost, unexpected that someone successfully performed it!"
By the end, Xu He’s face was covered with shock and fear.
As is known, the Medicine King’s medical skills were astounding, befriending myriad Great Power experts, many willing to follow the Medicine King for life. These three mystical guardians were indeed the mightiest among those followers, all Divine Level Experts.
If this revived Blood Charm silently guards the tomb, they might all instantly turn to ash.
