Chapter 41: Desperate Measures

  Since obtaining the map, Valentes took out the peripheral map of the mountain range that he had been carrying with him. This map was drawn by the Crown Mercenary Corps at its inception and its level of detail exceeded imagination. It was even painted by an artist, with each geographical location vividly depicted.

  But there are also differences.

  After all, the battles within the mountain ranges are almost daily, with people against people, people against demons, and demons against demons. The destruction is very severe, but overall, the map and terrain are still about 90% similar.

  "Captain, comparing these two maps, the location indicated is that small cave in front of us." The arrogant young man said, pointing at the cave in front.

  Valent nodded, "Everyone be careful, I remember there's a mutated beast here that can spit out poisonous fog. Archers get ready, you few follow me to lure the beast out and take it down."

  Soon these hundred or so people took their respective positions.

  Thirteen archers lay in ambush outside the cave, each drawing their bows and taking aim at the entrance.

  Valentz led a few skilled men cautiously into the cave, and they too could see that there was a bend inside.

  Wait until you get to the corner.

  Valentines raised one finger.

  The people following him immediately leaned against the mountain wall, and Valents also leaned against the mountain wall, secretly peeking inside to see if there were any magical beasts.

  "Huh? The beast is gone." Valentes exclaimed in surprise.

  Others followed him and walked in immediately, finding that things were placed in a mess here, but the air didn't have the stench of monsters, instead it was somewhat refreshing.

  "Everyone search together." Valentes looked around and then ordered a search.

  Then seven or eight people who followed him in began searching.

  Turning things over everywhere.

  But nothing was found.

  "Captain, the map indicates that it's around here. Perhaps what we're looking for is hidden inside the mountain wall or underground. And our predecessors liked to play with all sorts of strange mechanisms, so we need to search every inch of this cave thoroughly." The arrogant young man said.

  Valent said: "It seems that's the case, you go and gather sixty people to come in, each person is assigned a region, just there, even if it's three feet underground, we must find something."

  "Yes." The young man immediately went out to gather people.

  More than sixty people rushed in at once, and the cave didn't seem crowded. Valentes personally assigned a certain area to each person and started searching.

  Before long, they were searching high and low for them.

  About three or four minutes later, among the seven or eight people who came in first, someone covered their stomach and shouted: "Ah, my stomach... ah!" He hadn't even finished speaking when he felt like he was going to suffocate, and immediately rushed out.

  "Wow!"

  "Alas..."

  Then came the continuous shouting.

  One after another, they shouted with joy, holding their bellies and rushing out. Just as Valentes was about to scold them, he felt his own belly "gurgling" loudly, but it wasn't from hunger.

  His face changed and he also ran out.

  At the same time, Xie Ao Yu and Qin Yue Yi also reunited again.

  They both had some magical creatures in their hands, and the creatures they caught were exactly the same. In their left hands, they each held five or six fire rabbits by the ears, and in their right hands, they each grasped five or six wind bird beasts by the claws.

  "It smells so bad." Qin Yue wrinkled her cute nose.

  "It has begun." Xie Ao Yu smiled and said, "We will proceed according to plan."

  Qin Yue called out in a low voice: "Xiaobai, come with me."

  "Oh no!"

  Xiaobai also rarely showed a humanized evil expression, but it looked even more cute that way. It followed Qin Yue with a wagging tail.

  Xie Ao Yu and Qin Yue Yi walked in opposite directions.

  He also came to a place where the weeds were particularly lush, and threw those fire rabbits on the ground, all of which fell limp to the ground.

  Before long, Xiao Bai ran over there.

  But in the position where Qin Yue was located, there was a raging fire burning fiercely, and there was also a strong gust of wind blowing, and the direction of that wind was exactly towards the mountain cave.

  "Xiao Bai, let them spit fire." Xie Ao Yu said.

  "Ouch."

  Xiao Bai barked at those fire rabbits.

  These fire rabbits immediately perked up, and immediately sprayed out one by one fireballs. The fireballs released by the fire rabbit had very limited power, but they couldn't withstand the sheer number of them, and there were many withered weeds here that were all very dry.

  As soon as it encountered fire, it burst into flames instantly.

  Xie Ao Yu threw out those Fire Bird Beasts, under Xiao Bai's beast language command, those Fire Bird Beasts let out loud screeches, casting wind system magic... Wild Wind Technique.

  The direction is also towards the cave.

  When the fire had spread to a certain extent, it suddenly spread rapidly under the strong wind, and its speed was incredibly fast. Xie Ao Yu quietly left and met with Qin Yue at a small hill about 200 meters away from this place.

  They didn't notice Xiaobai.

  After the two left, Xiaobai immediately revealed his true nature and spat out a fireball.

  It spewed out a fireball the size of a millstone, just like a fire magic spell, and even the gravel on the ground and the yellow soil were ignited.

  Then with one more opening of his mouth, a strong gust of wind was emitted from his mouth.

  Under the blowing of the strong wind, the fierce flames grew again, and the speed of spread was surprisingly fast.

  It was then that it ran back.

  Returned to Xie Ao Yu's side, and transformed back into a cute little beast.

  "Look quickly, they've discovered the big fire and are running away, ahah, all of them are running with their buttocks exposed!" Qin Yueyi pointed ahead, excitedly shouting.

  Under the great fire, these people who were constantly pulling their bellies had no way to use Qi to resist or escape, and could only rely on their two legs.

  At this time, Qin Yueyi's evil nature began to reveal itself without restraint.

  It's absolutely unbearable, completely showing the meaning of unstoppable diarrhea. Once you squat down, don't think about standing up again. As you can imagine, facing a big fire to escape is what kind of scene.

  Xie Ao Yu sneered: "This time, the Imperial Crown Mercenary Corps will really shake the entire mainland."

  "Great devil." Qin Yueyi's smiling eyes narrowed, revealing two small tiger teeth, and she said with indescribable cuteness, "I've finally found a kindred spirit!"

  Looking at Qin Yueyi, Xie Ao Yu's mind suddenly popped up with four words... Wolf in sheep's clothing.

  Shaking his head, he tried to throw off the thought, but Xie Ao Yu found that these four words were deeply etched in his mind. He couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "Let's go find the Zi Jing Ling Shui. This time, no one should disturb us."

  Qin Yueyi picked up Xiao Bai and smiled: "Let's go!"

  Two young men and women climbed over mountains and crossed two rivers, before finally arriving at the location of the purple crystal spiritual water that Qin Yueyi had spoken of, which was a small pool.
