C176

The road here is littered with rocks, big stones stacked on top of each other, and I can see that if we go any further, it looks like there are some mountains, creeks or something like that.

There was no good road anyway, so if he continued walking like this, it would be normal for him to encounter some danger.

"Yes, it has been settled. There are some snacks and a box of water in the spare room. We have a few bottles, but we don't intend to stay here for long. We will leave in a day or two."

I really didn't know there was anything in the trunk.

Later, Gu Lvhan told me that he made He Dachun buy it and put it in the trunk.

There were quite a few items, including a few packs of ham sausages, some snacks, compressed biscuits and some mineral water.

"Let's do it first."

Gu Lvhan looked at me somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's nothing. It's all for the sake of the public. It's only right that I make some sacrifices."

We didn't have much time to talk and just walked forward with big strides.

The mountain path was difficult. It took a lot of effort to walk it.

There is a very high hill ahead, if we want to enter the West Barren Ridge, we have to go through it.

After walking for two hours, they still hadn't reached their destination.

The color in front of his eyes was about the same as well. There were rocks and weeds here, and from time to time, there would be barren graves. Some of them had names carved on them, while some of them didn't even have stone tablets.

"No, Gu Lvhan, how much longer do we have to walk before we arrive?"

I really walked until my legs were numb.

Most of the time, we were on the way up, so my legs hurt a little now.

Gu Lvhan said, and it was almost time, but after walking for an entire hour, he still asked the same question, and it was almost time.

"Can you be a bit more accurate? The speed at which you move is faster and faster. Is it really faster? Or is it just a fake speed?"

I helplessly looked towards Gu Lvhan.

Gu Lvhan pointed ahead. In a valley, one could see that the area below the valley was extremely large.

"That's the West Barren Ridge. Are you still looking far away?"

From the looks of it, they should still have two miles to go. The road ahead was relatively easier.

However, in order to enter the valley, one still needed some skill.

Ahead of me was a cliff, and by the time I reached the valley, the angle was almost seventy degrees. I didn't dare go down, so I just stood there.

Gu Lvhan took out a piece of rope, tied it together with a live knot, and hung it on a rock that he had repeatedly confirmed that there were no problems.

After all of this was done, Gu Lvhan turned to look at me.

"I'll go down first, then you go down. Just pull on the rope. Don't worry, don't be afraid. With me here, nothing will happen to you." Gu Lvhan promised me.

I secretly nodded my head. At this crucial moment, I still chose to believe in him.

Gu Lvhan got off first, I was a little nervous, and after going down the rope, I started sweating.

"Look at your guts. If you train hard, you won't be afraid in the future." Gu Lvhan smiled at me softly.

Gu Lvhan's hand trembled slightly, and because there was a buckle above, the rope immediately fell off.

Once we entered the valley, although we were still at the outskirts of the valley, I felt a deep, cold wind blowing towards us from the other side of the valley.

"Those scoundrels, we need to find them first. We already made an appointment with them earlier." Gu Lvhan said as he looked forward.

"Are those rats easy to find?"

I'm not very confident about this.

Besides, after releasing those few scoundrels, I guess they didn't dare to come back. Otherwise, if they were unable to complete the mission and got caught by the wild cat, it wouldn't be a good sign.

"The feline essence is here, do these rats dare to be here?" I asked anyway.

"This is only the first entrance. West Barren Ridge's words are still coming from the depths of this place."

As Gu Lvhan said this, he took out a compass. I remember that this compass was given to him by the monastery head.

After taking out the compass, Gu Lvhan followed the compass's direction and walked forward.

But Gu Lvhan walked very slowly.

I also know exactly what Gu Lvhan is doing at this time.

Gu Lvhan walked in front of him for a while and suddenly stopped as he looked towards a corner.

I quickly looked over to that corner as well.

I saw a mouse hole in the corner. I think that's where those rats came from.

As expected, Gu Lvhan walked over, and when he was in front of him, he lightly knocked on the small hole.

"Why, it's like knocking on a human's door. Do we even need to knock on this?" I was really helpless.

Gu Lvhan, however, nodded very seriously.

"Of course it's to be knocked. If I knock on the door, they will be alerted and come out after smelling my scent. However, for people that they don't know, they might not come out and come to this place. I believe they are not ordinary people."

Gu Lvhan explained to me.

"Oh, there's such a thing. I've finally seen it." I could only smile helplessly.

Actually, I don't really know much about these things either.

We waited outside for a long time, but there weren't any rats in the cave.

"It doesn't look like this cave. Let's go take a look elsewhere."

Gu Lvhan continued to look for more mouse holes, but still no mouse essence emerged from them.

"Wasn't it arranged here?" I looked towards Gu Lvhan.

Because I think that Gu Lvhan might also be able to remember wrongly.

"No, it must be here. This is the right place." Gu Lvhan said with certainty.

Just as we were puzzled, the squeak of a mouse sounded out. There were two mice quickly running towards us from the front.

After running up to us, they were covered in a grey mist, and then they turned into two children.

A man and a woman, both about five or six years old, with a small tail sticking out from behind them.

"Benefactor, you're finally here!"

The two rats transformed into human figures, but their figures flashed back and forth. It seemed like they weren't successful in condensing.

In the end, they agglutinated the adult in just a few minutes, and then they were rats again.
