Chapter 2124: Corrode

Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“You Yue, we have already searched the entire place twice over. There hasn’t been a single trace of the divine medicine. We don’t dare to go any deeper either. However, if the divine medicine was inside, we would have been able to sense it from here.” Qin Qin said.

Sima You Yue had always thought that the divine medicine should be in this snow mountain. She thought that the legendary Snow Lady would be the divine medicine. However, there was no Snow Lady here, nor was there any danger. Even less was there any presence of divine medicine.

Even Little Seven was unable to sense it, which meant that there was a ninety percent chance that there was no divine medicine here.

But to leave just like that? She was unwilling and she did not want to give up either.

“I’m going to take a look at the mountain that’s right in the centre.” She said.

“No way!” Old Jiang, Nai He as well as Qin Qin cried out together.

“This snow mountain isn’t as scary as the legends say, so why can’t I go there?” Sima You Yue didn’t think that they would have such a big reaction.

“Of course those legends aren’t true, but the dangers definitely are.” Old Jiang said.

“The reason we did not encounter any dangers before this is because Old Jiang led us through places that would avoid the dangers.” Nai He said, “However, even he dares not venture into the deepest part of it.”

“Did we go past any dangerous areas earlier on?” Mo Yu asked.

“Although you can’t see it, there are many places in there that will teleport you away.” Qin Qin said, “Those who disappeared inside here were all teleported away.”

Old Jiang came to one side and pulled out an underworld beast from the snow that looked similar to a rabbit. Then, he tossed it a little further away. Even before that beast landed on the ground, it disappeared before their eyes.

“Oh damn, there really are places that teleport!” Mo Yu drew closer to Nai He as she spoke.

“Where will this send them to?” Wu Lingyu asked.

“I don’t know. Maybe they went somewhere else. In any case, those who leave have never appeared again in the Abyss of Hell.” Nai He looked at Sima You Yue, “That mountain that is right at the back is one that even Old Jiang has no confidence of entering. If you insist on going in, we have no choice but to bring you back forcibly.”

Sima You Yue knew that Nai He was not joking around. If she insisted, he really would forcibly bring her back. She knew that if it came to a fight, with Black Shadow and the others, they would not be able to succeed. However, she was afraid that if that really happened, they would all get sent away.

“His Honor will only give you that item if you give him that divine medicine? Is there any other way?” Qin Qin asked.

Sima You Yue shook her head. She looked at the highest snow mountain before nodding, “Let’s go back.”

She had never had the habit of getting others to pay her own bills. If she went any deeper, if they were not in danger from following her, then they would be getting into danger by trying to stop her. This was not something that she wanted.

Nai He saw that she was willing to head back, so he heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, saying, “When we go back, we’ll think of another idea. If it really won’t work, let the Ancestors appear. His Honor will show them some face.”

“Mm.” Sima You Yue forced herself to smile. Without the Divine Medicine, she really couldn’t put herself in a good mood.

They left the Snow Mountain and returned via the same route in which they came. After half a month passed, they returned to Qin Mountain again.

“Ah-”

“Ah- what’s going on?”

A tortured cry sounded again and again, and everyone could hear where the cry was coming from.

“Another person went to the spring.” Qin Qin was already accustomed to hearing these cries. After so many years, who knows how many times she had heard it.

The side of the spring was where they had camped yesterday night, which was why they did not change their route and were headed over there.

Quickly, they saw people being corroded.

The group had more than twenty people. Those twenty people were watching anxiously from outside the spring. A few of them had already been terrified. A few more others were not far from the vicinity of the spring, and a few had already had half their bodies corroded and were no longer able to cry out. They could only moan weakly.

Beside those people, there were even freshly corroded bones.

Those standing guard outside saw Nai He and the others come over and were on guard. However, they still reminded them kindly, “Have you come to collect some spring water? There’s no way to get close to this place at all. You’d better not enter.”

Sima You Yue had an impression of those people. Based on the way they invited people back then, it seemed like they did not have to pay the fee. She remembered that their objective was to retrieve some spring water from Qin Mountain.

As for the few powerful men who had followed them, they greeted Qin Qin and the others immediately upon seeing them, “Greetings, Steward Qin.”

“Save it.” Qin Qin waved her hand.

She was obviously the vanguard of the Knavery Pavilion, but others just saw her as a steward. Sima You Yue thought this was incredibly funny.

“These people are?” The man in charge looked at the few seniors suspiciously.

“This person is the steward of Knavery Pavilion.” The senior introduced them.

“Steward Qin?” The person was stunned, then looked passionately at Qin Qin, “They say that you are very powerful. Can you rescue them?”

“When you guys first entered this place, did you not first think about how dangerous it would be?” Qin Qin asked with a solemn expression.

“We were too desperately in need of the spring water.” The man in charge felt both anxiety and remorse. It was clear that he did not wish for this either. “This spring water can revive even the bones of the dead. I have to take this spring water back to the clan for a very important person. That’s why I had to do it. But… but…”

“But you never thought that the air around the spring would be corrosive to the human body.” Qin Qin continued for him.

“Yes. Now, they are trapped inside and are corroding slowly while we are powerless here. We can only watch. Steward Qin, within the Knavery Pavillion, you are the one who is most familiar with Hades Valley. Do you have a way to save them?”

“Five million.” Qin Qin siad, “Per person.”

“Alright.” The man right at the front agreed without hesitation. He seemed to be a local tyrant.

Qin Qin was not afraid that he would renege either. There was not a single person who dared to do something like that to the Knavery Pavilion. She took out a long silver whip and came to the side of the spring. Then, she closed her eyes.

“Why is she closing her eyes?” Mo Yu pulled on Nai He’s hand and asked.

“The spring is more dangerous in the morning than at night. What she sees before her will affect her judgement. She closed her eyes because it is safer to use her memory and senses.” Nai He explained to her, which also shed light on the situation for Sima You Yue and the others.

Although she knew that, Sima You Yue was still worried about Qin Qin. she kept on watching her, afraid that something would happen to her.

However, her worries were unnecessary. Qin Qin’s body twisted and entered the spring just as she did last night. She went into the middle of the group before she opened her eyes.

“Save… save…”

The man lying on the ground forced himself to look at Qin Qin. his eyes were full of a desire to live, hoping that she would rescue them.

“What an expensive life.” Qin Qin sighed before using the whip in her hands to grab one of them.. Then, she tossed him out with a wave of her hand.
