Chapter 495 One Master and One Pet: They're Going Crazy!
"Where's the little golden snake?"
Unexpectedly, a moment later, the scene that followed left Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu utterly bewildered and speechless.
'ah-------'
'ah-------'
A series of screams came from somewhere underground; they sounded muffled and extremely tragic!
Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu stood in the herb field, bewildered by the wind.
This is unbelievable!
A short while later, not far from the two of them, at the foot of the mountain, a cave entrance appeared that could accommodate one person to enter and exit.
It seems that the people from the wizard's temple used some method to cover up the cave entrance.
No wonder Gu Qingyue searched around with her mental power several times but only saw overgrown weeds and didn't find a cave entrance here.
Now it suddenly appears not far away, what else could this be but a ghost!
The two exchanged a glance, and the dagger was already in Gu Qingyue's hand.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingyue took out a medicine pouch, and the two of them took antidote pills before rushing into the cave.
The entrance is not high, but it is high enough for an adult to stand up and walk in.
As soon as you enter, after walking less than ten steps, wisps of black mist begin to emerge from the cracks in the rocks inside the dark cave.
If Gu Qingyue hadn't released her spiritual power, allowing her to see clearly in the darkness, the two of them would have truly been doomed today.
Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and took out the luminous pearl she usually used.
Inside the passage, the black mist was not clearly visible, but along the cracks in the stone on the side, wisps of black mist would emerge every ten meters or so. The amount was so small that it was barely noticeable unless you looked very closely.
But Gu Qingyue could tell from the faint smell that it was the miasma of witchcraft!
"Look, there's black fog. Quickly put on your masks," Gu Qingyue reminded.
Judging from this, the cave must have been carefully prepared with this miasma to confuse any intruders.
If they continue to walk in the dark, they are very likely to fall victim to the virus.
Luckily, she has night vision, hehe!
Mu Yun Chu nodded and put on a mask without hesitation. The black mist was very sparse, and she wondered how A Yue had seen it in the darkness just now.
However, Gu Qingyue is much more knowledgeable in this area than he is, so listening to her won't be a mistake.
The further they went in, the denser the black fog became. However, it didn't affect them much. Besides, they had taken an antidote before coming in. Gu Qingyue felt refreshed after walking such a long way and didn't feel anything at all.
They continued until the road became wider and wider.
The screams and shrieks grew clearer and clearer.
Following the sound, Gu Qingyue and her companion finally stopped in front of a tall stone gate, which was ajar and not closed.
The two exchanged a glance. Gu Qingyue guessed that there should have been guards at the door, but they were drawn in by the sudden screams from inside.
What a perfect time!
After taking a moment to sense it, Gu Qingyue discovered that in addition to screams, there was also a strong smell of herbs emanating from inside.
Is it a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility?
However, it seems like things are in complete chaos now?
Gu Qingyue decided against secretly using her spiritual power to check; she stepped forward and kicked the door open.
'ah------'
A series of screams could be heard clearly.
Before the two could rush in, several small curved knives slashed horizontally at them.
Just as Gu Qingyue raised her dagger to block, several more curved blades stabbed from the side. Gu Qingyue spun around, and the daggers disappeared, replaced by a pair of short swords in her hands, their cold light flashing, a sight to behold!
Mu Yun Chu, who was following behind Gu Qing Yue, was stunned. He hadn't even seen how Gu Qing Yue had changed the dagger in her hand into two swords!
But he couldn't worry about that now. He immediately raised his hand, and countless tiny needles, as sharp as ox awns, flew out, instantly felling a large number of people.
Gu Qingyue was overjoyed. Looking at the guards lying dead on the ground, she immediately drew her sword and rushed inside.
This is a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility of unprecedented scale. From the main entrance to the depth that can be seen, it is at least a hundred meters away. It seems that this place is inside the mountain.
This wizard's temple is really good at hiding things!
The mountain valley was shrouded in mist, lush and verdant yet shadowy, making one mistakenly believe that the valley was the Cave of Ten Thousand Gu.
Instead, they dug a hole at the foot of an inconspicuous mountain, hollowed out the mountain's interior, and carried out shady activities inside!
Such profound thoughts!
Gu Qingyue looked around. There were all kinds of herbs piled up everywhere, and the smells were mixed together, but that didn't stop Gu Qingyue from smelling a trace of human blood among the herbs.
What a wonderful place for making Gu poison!
She and Mu Yun Chu immediately flew inside.
The first place we arrived at was the house where shouts were constantly coming from.
The room had no door, and Gu Qingyue stared at it for a second, her eyes wide with amazement.
At this moment, the little golden snake was like a golden boomerang, darting around in the crowd.
It bites anyone it sees.
Gu Qingyue even saw the venom spit out of its little mouth, which, in the candlelight, shone like a silver light and fell into the large pot in front of it, where medicinal herbs were being simmered.
Gu Qingyue: I'm stunned! Well done!
Before Gu Qingyue could speak, the little golden snake darted out of the house and into a larger house next door.
Inside, a group of guards were crammed together, each holding a curved sword horizontally towards the door, clearly startled by the small golden snake that had suddenly fallen from the sky.
What followed was a chaotic cacophony of shouts as people fled in panic, including men and women in white and gray uniforms, as well as young medicine boys dressed in coarse cloth.
Gu Qingyue steadied herself, gripped her twin swords, and charged into the room. With each strike, she eliminated the people the little golden snake had failed to bite.
After finishing, she immediately ran towards the house where the noise and shouting had started.
Mu Yun Chu, who was following behind, looked at the scene in front of her and wanted to facepalm. This master and the pet were just too much!
At this moment, the little moon in his arms also became excited.
Mu Yun Chu loosened her grip slightly, and it darted away.
Next, Gu Qingyue and her two pets visited every room within sight.
Almost no survivors were left.
But things didn't go so smoothly when they reached the end of the big house.
Gu Qingyue drew her short sword and pushed open another door connecting to the house. Unexpectedly, she was met with a row of guards standing in neat rows, holding bows and arrows. The arrows were pointed at Gu Qingyue's eyes.
Gu Qingyue smiled, having naturally used her spiritual power to investigate first; this scene was quite interesting.
But it doesn't matter, she'll eventually have to push open the door and come in to face it.
Before Gu Qingyue could speak, a mocking voice rang in her ears; it sounded very familiar.
"Two people again! What a coincidence."
The one who spoke was the old woman in black standing behind the guards, the witch doctor Qin.
She watched coldly as Gu Qingyue walked in with a snake and a fox, with a tall man standing behind her.
"So what if it is? Where is the Holy Maiden? Where did that coward go?"
Gu Qingyue never minces words.
