Chapter 288: Chapter 288: The Ancient Town of Medicinal Herbs

Ergou’s screams suddenly spread throughout the entire cliff, eventually even turning into pleas for help.

Dahu ignored everything and leapt onto the tooth wall, casually placing Ergou on a solitary rock before heading straight over to Chen Yu.

It didn’t take long before Dahu and Chen Yu reached the opposite side of the cliff.

But Ergou remained standing there, utterly alone, afraid even to make a move.

“Dahu, come and save me quickly! Otherwise, I’m really going to fall down.”

Dahu was taken aback, “Ergou, what’s wrong with you? You used to jump over so easily, how come now you don’t dare to move?”

Chen Yu scoffed coldly, then found a rock nearby and sat down.

“If I’m not mistaken, he must’ve rigged some kind of device on himself when he came with you before, or there’s no way he could’ve crossed so easily.”

Dahu’s eyes widened in surprise, “What do you mean?”

Chen Yu pointed at Ergou, “Look at him, he doesn’t have a muscle on his body, his form is thin and small like that, with no sense of balance whatsoever. How could he possibly have jumped across this cliff?”

Dahu’s expression instantly stiffened, and he seemed somewhat dazed.

“Ergou, is that true? Did you have a device on you when you jumped over before?”

By this point, Ergou didn’t dare to hide anything anymore.

“Before, when I jumped in front of you, it was to sneak into your village to get some medicinal herbs. Now I realize my mistake, please just take me back. I don’t want to die here.”

Dahu’s breathing became rapid, “So you’re saying, you never considered me a brother!”

Ergou didn’t speak; he didn’t know what to say. From the very beginning, he was just using Dahu; they weren’t even friends, let alone brothers.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly and stepped forward to pat Dahu’s shoulder.

“Someone like him, who only cares about himself, how could he possibly consider you a brother?”

Dahu might not look very clever, but he had a pure nature, treating everyone with his whole heart, which was exactly why he was so easily deceived by Ergou.

Chen Yu didn’t say much more, just took a vine from the side and threw it into the middle of the cliff.

“Ergou, you can climb back using this vine. Good luck.”

Ergou grabbed the vine like a lifeline and moved towards the side of the cliff.

Dahu sat in place, heartbroken for a while, then picked up his stick and turned to walk towards the village; Chen Yu was not about to let such an opportunity slip by and quickly followed.

Before long, the two men arrived at a mountain stream, one after the other.

Although the place didn’t seem to be anything special at first glance, a closer look revealed an extremely prosperous village hidden among the mountains and ridges.

All sorts of retro-style buildings could be seen here, including even the legendary cylindrical drum towers.

When Chen Yu saw all this, he was instantly thrilled to the extreme.

He had long heard that deep within the southern clouds there lay a secluded tribe that subsisted solely on gathering herbs, isolated from the rest of the world to this day.
