Chapter 370: Chapter 110: A Complete Surprise [10,000 Words]
Bitterly smiled: "That thing is great, but it’s a shame it’s too conspicuous. With my cultivation, even if someone gave me one, I wouldn’t dare to wear it. It’s too eye-catching, and I might get knocked out quietly in the Guardian Hall..."
Immediately everyone burst into laughter.
But what Yuan Jingjiang said was indeed quite true.
The Space Ring, this legendary treasure, for those whose cultivation hasn’t reached a certain height, is simply a disaster!
If you’re lucky enough to get one, it’s practically announcing your entire family’s doom.
Because that’s only a matter of time. Even if you hand it over, it’s useless.
Unless after you get it, you never use it. But... since you have such a treasure, who can resist not using it?
...
Finally finished eating, the Spiritual Energy Barrier stayed up for another half moment to let everyone rest.
Just as Yuan Jingjiang was about to withdraw, Fang Che said: "Master Yuan."
"Steward Fang!"
Yuan Jingjiang immediately turned: "Please instruct."
Everyone: "..."
Fang Che was also in a bittersweet dilemma: "I’m just a deacon, how can I dare to instruct the Hall Master."
"Feel free to instruct!"
Yuan Jingjiang was very determined, looking completely submissive: "Whatever you say goes."
"...Alright."
Fang Che pointed to a patch of empty ground outside the barrier, and said: "The aroma of the food inside the barrier is too strong. We can’t just remove the barrier like this. Please, take the scent and, along with a few seniors, wrap it with Spiritual Energy and throw it out here. Once the aroma has completely dissipated, we can remove the barrier."
This maneuver, compared to simply maintaining the barrier, was much more difficult.
But Yuan Jingjiang and the others acted immediately without any hesitation.
Spiritual Energy flushed through, washing over everyone, then wrapped around the aroma, Yuan Jingjiang waved his hand.
Suddenly, an invisible air mass was thrown out.
It landed on the spot Fang Che pointed to.
Under everyone’s gaze, the area emitted fragrance, and suddenly, the air filled with densely packed tiny black spots. Very small, but when there are many, they become very conspicuous.
The black points moved quickly, gathering over there.
Slowly, that area on the ground was covered with dense black spots.
Everyone’s scalp tingled, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
"Is this... corpse lice?"
Yuan Jingjiang broke out in a cold sweat, continuously gulping, his eyes wide, asking in a trembling voice.
"Not corpse lice, it’s even smaller than corpse lice, only as big as a grain of millet, it’s also a kind of poison insect."
Fang Che said: "It’s called rice poison."
Rice poison...
Everyone had some realization, many had heard these two words before.
"This is a method of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect. While we were eating, they released poison insects. A single one would basically go unnoticed and be ingested. Once eaten, it’s over."
Fang Che said: "As for the Guardian Hall, belonging to the Inner Guard, we rarely encounter it, so it’s normal for you not to know. As for the Guardians battling outside year-round, they often run into such odd things."
Fang Che smiled slightly: "So you might have heard, sometimes Guardians, during battle breaks, or in places where enemies may exist, need to eat to replenish energy. They either maintain a Spiritual Energy Barrier, or eat while on the run... Such an environment is unimaginable for us staying at the Guardian Hall."
"Guardians truly have it tough!"
Yuan Jingjiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Thanks to Steward Fang, how did you know this?"
Now, Yuan Jingjiang instinctively addressed Fang Che with respectful terms.
Fang Che vaguely said: "I have elders at home who often talk about these things."
Yuan Jingjiang was suddenly filled with respect: "So your elders are Guardians."
Silently thinking no wonder Fang Che is so impressive at the Guardian Hall.
Whoever said Ninth level Family outsider, that’s just nonsense...
...
The Spiritual Energy Barrier was finally withdrawn.
Yuan Jingjiang took a deep breath and said to Fang Che: "Steward Fang, from now on, you will lead this journey."
"Hm?"
"You lead, whatever you say, we do!"
Yuan Jingjiang was very clear in his thinking.
He had never left the Guardian Hall in his life, understood too little about things outside, even if he had heard things, they were long forgotten and could not be practically applied.
But Fang Che could. Just now, in a short amount of time, Fang Che’s performance had already won everyone over.
If it weren’t for him, at the very least, they would have lost seventy to eighty people out of four hundred!
Fang Che thought for a moment.
Entering this forest was basically falling into the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s rhythm, seeing Yuan Jingjiang’s appearance, he truly had no experience in this area, he said: "I don’t know if everyone else agrees."
"Agree!"
Without waiting for Yuan Jingjiang to ask, everyone spoke in unison.
True weapons, including hidden weapon assassinations, everyone was not afraid, but these tiny insects truly scared everyone out of their wits.
"Alright, I’ll start leading then."
Fang Che didn’t stand on ceremony and said: "First order, Female Stewards step forward."
Over thirty Female Stewards, puzzled, stepped forward.
...
Fang Che ordered: "Master Yuan, please cleanse their scent, powder smell, etc., with the other King level Masters, then the Stewards themselves should freshen up a bit. It’s okay to be clean, but no scent whatsoever should remain."
Immediately, the Female Stewards blushed and began to tidy up.
And several King level Masters began to wash away the scent with Spiritual Energy as much as possible.
Quite a few male Stewards were watching eagerly.
Someone was murmuring: "...Wow, after all these years, all I saw was some powder."
Everyone nodded: "That’s really true."
Jing Xiuyun, blushing, angrily said: "What are you all muttering about?"
A group of male Stewards laughed: "Now it looks much easier on the eyes. Hahaha..."
