Chapter 1379
Who would have thought that what was supposed to be a treasure land would turn out to be a deadly place?
The natives who were supposed to perish in the looting were now preparing to destroy those who thought of themselves as advanced civilizations!
"If the head spirit and beast are so powerful, won't we all be finished?" Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan said anxiously.
Gu Chen was silent. He didn't have the confidence to defeat either of the two monsters.
"The situation is very unfavorable for us, but fortunately, there is still a chance."
Chu Meixin's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. "Young Master Chen, you came at the right time. The suggestion you and the head spirit created an opportunity for us."
Gu Chen had some guesses. "What is going on between the head spirit and the head beast?"
Chu Meixin smiled coldly. "Young Master Chen, you have already seen the Chaos Golden Lightning Bamboo in the depths of the Insect Clan's nest. The head spirit wants that herb. It seems to be of great significance to it, but it has been occupied by the Insect King for a long time."
"So, it was just lying to us when it said it would give us the herb?" Fatty Qian was indignant.
"Of course, the head spirit just needs someone to help it restrain the Insect King and its people, creating an opportunity for it to snatch the Chaos Golden Lightning Bamboo." Chu Meixin revealed the truth.
Gu Chen pondered for a while and analyzed.
"This explains why the Insect King doesn't leave the Chaos Golden Lightning Bamboo. It must be to prevent the head spirit from taking the opportunity to snatch it."
"The head spirit doesn't want to leave the canyon. It must be worried that something will happen to the Chaos Golden Lightning Bamboo."
"The two sides have fallen into a stalemate. At this time, the cultivators from the outside world came in and broke the balance."
Fatty Qian frowned and asked. "Since the Insect King has already occupied the herb, why doesn't it eat it? Is it going to keep it for the New Year? "
Gu Chen didn't understand this and looked at Chu Meixin.
"I don't know. After all, I have only been with the head spirit for a few days. The information I can get is limited." Chu Meixin shook her head.
"This is not the point. The point is that the head beast and the head spirit are in conflict. This is a good thing for us!" Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan said excitedly.
Everyone nodded. The head beast and the head spirit were so powerful that if they joined forces, they would be able to wipe out all the foreign cultivators in the secret land.
But now that the relationship between the two sides was bad, the foreign cultivators had a chance.
As the saying goes, when the crane and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
"Now that the Insect King has Old Black Tortoise, it will be even more difficult for the Head Spirit to get the First Herb. That's why he asked for your help."
"According to Young Master Chen's suggestion, if we can get the people from Lei Commandery to help us, I'll have a chance to save Granny Shu when the situation turns chaotic. Young Master Chen, you'll also have a chance to get the first herb."
Chu Meixin told him the general idea of cooperation.
"That's what you say, but there are a lot of unstable factors."
The Qi Family's Xuan Ancestor shuddered at the thought of that scene.
The head spirit and the head beast were going to fight, and the old Black Tortoise and the Thunder Commandery's troops were also going to fight. It was destined to be a reign of terror!
Under such circumstances, no one could guarantee that they would be the final victor. There were too many uncontrollable factors!
Gu Chen and Fatty Qian were also very clear about the dangers involved, and they seriously considered it.
"We can only follow the head spirit's plan. Not only to get the opportunity, but also to leave this place alive."
Chu Meixin was a little worried that Gu Chen and the others would back out, so she emphasized again and again.
"Miss Chu, don't worry, I won't back out."
Gu Chen smiled and added. "Also, my real name is Gu Chen."
Chu Meixin saw Gu Chen announce his name, and she inexplicably felt relieved. "Are you using your real name this time?"
"It's my real name. Gu Chen read it backwards, and that's how I got my alias, Chen Gu." Gu Chen explained.
Chu Meixin nodded heavily. Gu Chen's real identity made her feel a lot more secure.
She murmured the name a few times, and somehow felt that it was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
"The old Black Tortoise has the way to leave the Secret Land. It's very dangerous to fight our way out from the entrance, and it's not any less dangerous than going to the nest of the insects."
Gu Chen looked at Fatty Qian and the Qi Clan's ancestor.
His words dispelled the last bit of hesitation in their hearts. Indeed, the entrance was probably already surrounded by the troops of the Xing County, and they had no better choice!
"Let's act according to the plan we discussed with the head spirit. We'll first win the alliance of the Thunder Commandery, and then we'll discuss the next step."
Gu Chen looked around the three, and they all nodded.
"I understand your plan, but I'm afraid that Yang Fawang of the Thunder Commandery won't be so easy to deal with."
The ancestor of the Qi Clan thought carefully and said, "In the eyes of the Thunder Commandery, the whole Secret Land of Chaos belongs to them, and they have already firmly guarded the entrance. No matter what happens inside, they are already in an invincible position. Based on this situation, there's actually no need for them to get involved in the chaos inside the Secret Land. "
"Besides, Yang Fawang is arrogant and suspicious. If only the few of us go and discuss with him, even if we can provide him with information about the old Black Tortoise, he may not even care about us."
The ancestor of the Qi Clan knew much more about the Thunder Commandery than Gu Chen, and what he said was very reasonable.
"From the standpoint of the whole Thunder Commandery, there's indeed no need for them to get involved in the chaos, but no matter how powerful they are, how can they fight against the greed of others?"
Gu Chen thought for a while and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" The three of them were confused.
"Don't ask too much about this. Let's split up."
Gu Chen looked at the ancestor of the Qi Clan, "Daoist Qi, the three of us can go and convince Yang Fawang. I have another task for you."
"Please tell me, my lord." The ancestor of the Qi Clan said respectfully.
"The old Black Tortoise failed to capture the Chief Beast. Of the cultivators who originally followed him, some survived, except for some who died."
"They are also very important combat power. Try to rope them in as much as possible. You can also appropriately reveal the matter of the first herb and the current situation of the old Black Tortoise."
Gu Chen taught the ancestor of the Qi Clan how to speak. The ancestor of the Qi Clan understood what he meant and nodded repeatedly.
"My lord, rest assured, I will do my best to complete this matter according to your instructions."
"Very good, when the matter is almost done, we will gather not far from the canyon."
Gu Chen told the approximate time and place of the gathering, and let the ancestor of the Qi Clan leave alone. He went with Chu Meixin and Fatty Qian.
"If only the three of us go, will that Yang Fawang search us and rob us first? He won't even give us a chance to speak?" Fatty Qian said worriedly. He had heard that the Lightning Fawang Yang Yongxing was not very reasonable.
"It's hard to say for others, but he will definitely give you face." Gu Chen smiled meaningfully.
"Really? Since when did I have such a big face? " Although these words sounded very useful, Fatty Qian knew that he had never had any relationship with Yang Fawang.
"Let's go, you will know when we get there!"
