Chapter 1377

Just a moment ago, Gu Chen and Fatty Qian thought they were trapped in a dream with no hope of escape. Under such circumstances, they could only accept whatever conditions Granny Shu proposed.

But now that they understood the crux of the matter, the other party could not threaten them in the short term, and there was more room for negotiation.

The first herb was precious, and the way to leave the secret place was in the hands of the old Black Tortoise. To be honest, Gu Chen was already inclined to cooperate with the person in front of him!

However, the other party's strength was unfathomable, and he did not know if he could keep his promise after the deed was done. Thus, Gu Chen needed to understand the other party better.

He glanced at Chu Meixin and observed Granny Shu's expression. The mysterious expert who controlled Granny Shu clearly did not know about the cooperation that he and Chu Meixin had originally discussed.

This was a breakthrough that would help him gain the initiative in this matter.

"The Worm King is extremely ambitious. If you don't help me, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this secret place alive. On the contrary, if you cooperate with me, you'll have a chance to get the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo.

Don't tell me you can't see the pros and cons of a deal like this? "

Granny Shu saw that the two of them had seen through the situation and turned to exaggerate the threat of the Worm King, indicating that they had a common interest.

"What you said makes sense. We agree to the cooperation."

Before Fatty Qian could speak, Gu Chen suddenly agreed readily.

This time, Granny Shu's expression changed. This person had seen through the situation earlier and thought that he would take the opportunity to bargain. She did not expect him to agree so directly.

"However, with just the two of us, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to help you. We know our own limits. We don't have the qualifications to covet the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo. "

Gu Chen suddenly changed the topic.

"You were able to approach the Worm King without anyone noticing, which means that your strength is not bad," Granny Shu said calmly.

"But that's not enough. According to what you said, the old Black Tortoise will soon become the Worm King's subordinate. The old Black Tortoise's cultivation is profound, and the source he cultivates is extremely special. Our chances of winning against him are too low.

"Also, that's the nest of the Worm Race. When the time comes, we'll have to face countless Worm Hordes. There might even be the Kui Cow and the Rock Snake King there. Under such circumstances, we'll just be sending ourselves to our deaths. We'll just be in charge of helping you attract the enemy's attention."

Gu Chen analyzed one by one, and Fatty Qian quickly nodded.

"That's right, the two of us aren't strong enough. Agreeing to your request is equivalent to sending ourselves to our deaths!"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Granny Shu frowned. She also realized that the two of them were much weaker than she wanted.

"It's simple. We need more helpers."

Gu Chen told him what he was planning. "In this mystic land, there is a faction called Lei Commandery. The leader is an expert at the eighth tier of the Dao Querying realm. If we can get this faction to cooperate with us, your plan will be feasible."

"Is that so?"

When Granny Shu heard that, she immediately turned to look at Chu Meixin.

When Gu Chen saw this, he was even more sure that the mysterious existence hadn't searched Granny Shu's soul. In other words, the mysterious existence really didn't know the relationship between him and Chu Meixin!

"Among the forces that entered this secret place, the Thunder Commandery is indeed the strongest. They are also enemies with the old Black Tortoise that was subdued by the Insect King."

Chu Meixin nodded stiffly.

"Oh? In that case, is it possible to convince this force to work for me? "

When Granny Shu heard that, her mind instantly became active.

"If you are willing, I am willing to be the middleman to convince the Thunder Commandery to cooperate with us. They have a grudge with the old Black Tortoise to begin with. Coupled with the attraction of a treasure like the first herb, the chances of them agreeing should not be low, "Gu Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, we'll try as you say. However, there isn't much time. It's best that you complete this within three days. Also, I have to send someone to follow you to ensure that there are no problems. After all, this is a three-way cooperation. "

As Granny Shu spoke, she looked at Chu Meixin. Clearly, she was the person in charge of supervising Gu Chen.

This was exactly what Gu Chen hoped for. However, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he was a little puzzled.

"Aren't you going to make a trip yourself?"

Granny Shu shook her head. "I have to monitor the Insect King in this canyon. She will represent me to discuss this cooperation. That's enough."

Can't leave the canyon?

Gu Chen thought of the Insect King. At that time, the Insect King had sensed his clone but didn't take any action. He seemed to have been staying in the Insect Clan's nest and had never left this canyon.

Why was that?

Gu Chen pondered in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded. "Alright, we'll do as you say."

"Where are your real bodies? I'll get Chu Meixin to find you," Granny Shu said immediately.

Gu Chen and Fatty Qian exchanged a few glances. They weren't stupid. If the other party really knew where their real bodies were, who knew if she would directly come to their door and use force to subdue them before controlling them.

This was the basis of their cooperation. Only by ensuring that they were free would they be able to reap any benefits later.

"How about this, we'll name a place. Miss Chu will wait for us there."

Gu Chen suggested a meeting place. Granny Shu knew what he was thinking and didn't expose him. "Alright, are you clear?"

The latter half of the sentence was directed at Chu Meixin. Chu Meixin lowered her head and said softly, "Alright. I'm clear. "

"Good. I hope you return to the canyon soon and bring me good news."

After saying that, Granny Shu slammed her sword crutch on the ground!

Space rippled like flowers, and the next moment, Gu Chen and Fatty Qian opened their eyes and found themselves in the pitch-black underground.

"My Lord, you're finally back." The Qi family's ancestor, who was guarding them, immediately came forward.

Gu Chen and Fatty Qian looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were back safely!

"What are you thinking? Although we can observe the situation at the designated place before deciding whether to show up or not, with that old woman's strength, there's nothing we can do if she really plans to hide in the dark and plot against us."

Fatty Qian immediately asked a question from the previous discussion.

"That person revealed that she can't leave the canyon. I think it's true."

Gu Chen replied.

"How can you be sure? What if she's just bluffing us? "Fatty Qian's eyes widened, feeling that such a judgment was very risky.

"Don't worry, I naturally have a way to determine whether she's sincere or not. Pack up and get ready to go to the rendezvous point."

Gu Chen smiled mysteriously, keeping it a secret for the time being.

Two hours later, on the top of a low mountain, Chu Meixin stood alone with a sword sheath on her back, quietly waiting for them.

A gentle breeze blew through her hair, giving her an unparalleled and independent beauty.

"She's one step ahead of us. Now, don't keep us in suspense, tell us how to determine whether the other party is sincere or not."
