C1945 The Monster in the Depths of the Cave
Tian Yuanfeng's team had been keeping an eye on the herb by the cliff for several days.
There were originally three Snow Ghost guarding there.
Tian Yuanfeng's team had to make several moves before they managed to attract the other two Snow Ghost out. Then, they dealt with them one by one.
Just as Tian Yuanfeng's group thought that they would be able to obtain the spirit medicine after finishing off the last Snow Ghost.
Gu Yuan unexpectedly appeared on top of the snowy peak.
He even plucked the spiritual herb that Tian Yuanfeng's team had been eyeing for a long time.
This made everyone in Tian Yuanfeng's team very angry.
They had worked so hard for so long, but they didn't expect that the one who plucked the fruit in the end would be someone else.
No matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to swallow this anger.
However, the members of Tian Yuanfeng's team had personally witnessed Gu Yuan's ability to deal with a single Snow Ghost by himself.
Tian Yuanfeng's team of six had split into two to deal with two Snow Ghost.
They were well aware of how powerful the Snow Ghost was.
Gu Yuan had defeated one Snow Ghost by himself.
The difference in strength between the two of them had made the captain of the squad, Tian Yuanfeng, decide that they had to use a trick in order to snatch back their herbs from Gu Yuan.
This was the reason why Zhang Chengze was so frightened when he was sent to deceive Gu Yuan.
He was afraid that Gu Yuan would beat him up if he found out!
Gu Yuan chose to camp in the valley, which was actually the place where Tian Yuanfeng and the others often came to fetch water.
The reason Tian Yuanfeng chose this place as the ambush location was because they were very familiar with the terrain here.
They had already figured out the situation around the valley.
Moreover, there was a very advantageous condition for them to ambush Gu Yuan here.
"Zhang Chengze, Zhou Daming, you two go to the top of the waterfall and lure that guy out."
Zhang Chengze and Zhou Daming, who had just returned, had just finished breathing when Tian Yuanfeng gave them another mission.
Lee Xianke, who had been resting by Tian Yuanfeng's side, stood up and accepted the mission.
"Captain, the two of them just came back. Let them rest for a while. I'll go and lure that guy."
Tian Yuanfeng nodded. "That's fine. You go then. Be careful."
Lee Xianke pulled out the things he had prepared in advance from the bushes, got out of the bushes, and walked towards the upstream of the waterfall.
...
Outside the valley, Tian Yuanfeng's team was preparing to ambush Gu Yuan.
In the valley, Gu Yuan still knew nothing.
The scenery in the valley was like a painting. He brought Yun Duoduo to tour around the valley as if they were on a field trip.
First, he wanted to find some food that could be used for dinner.
Secondly, he wanted to find the spiritual herb that Zhang Chengze mentioned that grew in this valley.
However, after walking around, he found quite a lot of food, but he still couldn't find any trace of the herb.
The two of them walked all the way to the pond under the waterfall, but they still couldn't find any herb.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to look at the waterfall above the pond.
Could it be that this spiritual herb grew above the waterfall?
Gu Yuan was puzzled.
There was no trace of any spiritual herb in this valley.
There was no trace of any spiritual herbs growing in this valley.
There were only two possibilities.
Either Zhang Chengze's information was wrong, or he had been deceived.
Or Zhang Chengze was lying to him. That herb didn't grow in this valley at all. It grew above the pond, where the waterfall flowed.
If Zhang Chengze hadn't lied to him, there wouldn't be any problem with the information.
It was very likely that there were spiritual herbs growing on top of the waterfall.
Gu Yuan stood beside the pond and raised his head to look at the waterfall.
The waterfall was at least dozens of meters high from top to bottom.
Moreover, the surrounding rocks were very steep.
With Gu Yuan's ability, it was not as if he did not have the ability to go up against the current and directly climb up to the top of the waterfall to find out what was going on.
But the key was that he currently had Yun Duoduo by his side. He did not want to take this risk with Yun Duoduo.
It was even more impossible for him to leave Yun Duoduo alone in this valley and then climb to the top of the waterfall to find the spirit medicine by himself.
The only way was to bring Yun Duoduo to find a place to take a detour from the outside of the valley and head upstream of the waterfall.
It was just that it was getting late now, taking a detour to the upstream of the waterfall might not be easy.
Under the circumstances of bringing Yun Duoduo along, it was not suitable for night adventures.
After thinking it over and over again, Gu Yuan still decided to rest in the valley for a night. Tomorrow, he would take a detour to the upstream of the waterfall to search for that spiritual herb.
Thinking about this, he brought Yun Duoduo back to the riverside and set up camp about twenty meters away from the river.
There were plenty of stones and wood in the vicinity.
Gu Yuan built a simple wooden tent for Yun Duoduo and even used stones to set up a foundation.
This was also because the two of them chose to sleep at night at the riverside, afraid that there would be accidents by the riverside.
Although it was unable to resist Ferocious Beast or large beasts, ordinary snakes or small beasts were basically unable to harm Yun Duoduo in the tent at all.
Night fell. Yun Duoduo, who had followed Gu Yuan for a day, ate the food she collected in the afternoon and went to sleep in the simple tent early in the morning.
Gu Yuan added some firewood to the bonfire and sat at the entrance of the tent. He also began to rest with his eyes closed.2
Under the night sky, everything in the valley seemed to be very comfortable. Only the sound of flowing water could be heard, and they were always busy.
At the source of the river and the pond, there was still a loud waterfall.
Tian Yuanfeng and his team members, Lee Xianke, who had been waiting for a long time, dragged the prey that they had just dealt with in the morning and came to a cave on top of the waterfall.
These prey were all knocked out by Tian Yuanfeng's team in a special way. The reason why they were knocked out and not killed was to ensure that not a single drop of their prey's blood was wasted.
Lee Xianke took out a dagger and cut off the throats of the prey.
Fresh blood flowed along the aorta of these prey like a small stream and flowed into the water.
For a moment, the strong smell of blood filled the air.
Lee Xianke did not wait for the blood of the prey to dry up before kicking the prey into the water outside the cave.
At this moment, the blood flowing out from the neck of the prey had already dyed the water flowing through the cave red.
The pungent blood was nauseating.
After Lee Xianke finished doing all this, he held his breath and squatted outside the cave, his eyes staring into the depths of the cave.
All he did was for the terrifying existence in the depths of the cave.
He held his breath and focused his mind, slowing down his breathing, trying to reduce the presence of his presence as much as possible.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Finally, his wait came to an end.
In the depths of the cave, a pair of large scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness.
Lee Xianke took a look and his muscles instantly tensed up.
He knew that the most important moment had finally arrived, and that monster had already been awakened.
As expected, the water outside the cave started to roll. A huge black shadow was faintly visible under the water.
