Chapter 711 - The maidservant’s team (1/2)

Entering the Sacred Mountains from the direction of Mt. Shenchi had always been referred to as the “Western Route.” Meanwhile on the “Eastern Route,” Vanilla and Tang Hualong were leading a group of people forward. They could already see the outline of the Sacred Mountains from afar.

Compared to Cheng Yu’s team, Vanilla’s team was exceptionally easy to handle. In this group, there were no intelligence personnel from the consortiums harboring ulterior motives like Wang Yun, nor were there weird intruders like Ren Xiaosu.

In Vanilla’s group, there were only A-rank hitmen who had been carefully selected. As all of them here were people who truly wanted to participate in the Anjing House trials, they were especially united.

It was different from the hooligans in Cheng Yu’s group. If something happened to Cheng Yu, many of those in his team would probably gloat at his misfortune.

Meanwhile, almost everyone in Vanilla’s group scrambled to showcase themselves. They would volunteer to take down whatever obstacles were blocking their way.

Vanilla did not even need to do anything himself. The A-rank hitmen who wanted to join the Anjing House had already done everything for all of them.

For example, someone had scouted the surrounding terrain beforehand, while others knew in advance of the tarantulas’ existence in the periphery of the Sacred Mountains. They were putting on such a good performance so that they could get Vanilla’s attention to help increase their chances of joining the Anjing House after the expedition to the Sacred Mountains.

At some point, Vanilla felt a little emotional. He did not have to put in any effort at all on the journey since everyone was way too enthusiastic.

However, there were always one or two exceptions in a group. Vanilla looked back at Zhou Yingxue, who was in the group behind him. He could not understand what the woman had come here for and why she was selected during the previous screening.

Actually, the Anjing House was also unsure if there were any problems with Zhou Yingxue. The Anjing House had even sent Vanilla to the black market outside of Luoyang City to investigate her, but he did not find anything unusual.

Regarding the Anjing House’s suspicion and speculation on Zhou Yingxue, they always felt something would happen wherever she went, but they did not have any conclusive evidence.

After entering the mountain range, Vanilla realized some problems as well. The woman named Zhou Yingxue did not seem to be that interested in the Anjing House trials anymore. She only cared about asking him the whereabouts of the other groups during the journey.

For the rest of the time, she focused all her attention on the exotic plants growing by the side of the paths. At the beginning, she did not interact with anyone at all.

Gradually, Zhou Yingxue even ordered the others to find her some exotic plants. Many people in the team could not tell who she was, so they could only obediently help her find them.

It was not that everyone was kind, but it was rumored the Anjing House would test them on many aspects. Perhaps, Zhou Yingxue was sent by the Anjing House to see if they had any compassion.

After all, everyone also felt Zhou Yingxue was a little unique. It was as though she had a different purpose in coming here.

Therefore, everyone assumed this uniqueness to mean she was an “examiner” hiding in the crowd.

When Vanilla thought about this, he was put in a dilemma. After all, there was a reason why the boss had arranged for him to lead this team. Everyone in the group was extremely important, and they might become the core members of the Anjing House in the future.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been specially assigned to the same team.

Zhou Yingxue had just followed the group into the mountains for a few days, but she already successfully obtained two seeds. One of them was an evolved sweet potato plant that did not have any uses other than producing a higher quantity of potatoes. It was especially sweet when roasted too.

Zhou Yingxue felt this plant was very compatible with the Potato Shooter, so she decided to name it the Sweet Potato Buddy from now on. This way, the Potato Shooter would not be that lonely anymore.
