C386 escape (2/2)
”But.” He looked at Chen Qing and said, ”You should have told us about these dangers first, but you didn't reveal anything to us, leading us to this kind of situation. Therefore, most of what happened just now was because of your fault.”
When Jiang Zilan heard what Mu Ru Yue said, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief and looked at her gratefully. Even though he had been said to be headstrong when he was in the capital, he had used his identity to tell the truth. However, the truth was that when he did something wrong, he would feel the same guilt.
Chen Qing never thought that Mu Ru Yue would give him the pot in the end. He was shocked. But then he thought about it and said, ”I was indeed inconsiderate when it came to this matter. I didn't explain it to Young Master Jiang and Princess Hua-Yang, but we have to be careful of the rest of the journey.
”Just treat it as giving us a test. After all, if we want to obtain something precious, it cannot be an easy task.” Chen Qing no longer blamed Jiang Zilan, instead, he directly took note of what had happened.
Soon after, Chen Qing also slowly stood up and said, ”The smell on us right now is very dangerous to walk around here. Let's go through this garden first and think of a way after we pass through the scorpions' territory.”
We were now in front of the main courtyard, and after passing through it was a garden. The garden is where those poisonous snakes live. At the back of the garden, there is a well, and that well is where we are going to go. ”
Chen Qing introduced.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she nodded. After knowing where she was heading to, it was much more reliable than following the chaotic group of people earlier. As a result, they left in complete silence. Very soon, he heard a series of rustling sounds.
Mu Rong Yue stopped in her tracks and took out a flexible sword from nowhere. It was evident that the whip made from the belt from before couldn't be used on these scorpions that hadn't been seen yet. Jiang Zilan's expression was not very good. He looked around cautiously and leaned on Mu Rong Yue's side as though he wanted to protect her.
”I say … Why are you so close to me? ” Jiang Zilan had made Mu Ru Yue a little impatient as he asked discontentedly. Jiang Zilan smiled. ”Of course I'm here to protect Princess Hua-Yang. It would be fine if I didn't come with her but ended up injuring her instead. I'm afraid I'll have to suffer later.”
Mu Ru Yue just glanced at him indifferently and didn't say anything else.
”Be careful! It's coming! ” Chen Qing interrupted the strange atmosphere around Murong Yue and Jiang Zilan. As he finished his words, he saw a green creature as tall as Murong Yue suddenly jump out of the grass in the courtyard.
With a swing of its tail, it flew towards them.
”Damn!” What did this thing eat to grow up? ” Jiang Zilan was startled by the sudden appearance of this object and could not help but complain.
”The original name of this scorpion is Cyan Tailed Scorpion. It is a type of scorpion that likes to eat grass.” Chen Qing explained. The corner of Murong Yue's mouth twitched when he heard this. ”You're telling me that this thing that looks so fierce and even wants to kill us is eating grass?”
As if he hadn't heard the mockery in Mu Ru Yue's words, Cheng Qing nodded and explained, ”The grass here is their favorite grass. It is most likely raised here by the people who set up all the checkpoints. Nothing existed here until it touched the mechanism. ”It's like two different worlds.”
These heavy words made Mu Ru Yue frown. She then charged towards the Green Tailed Scorpion, dodging all of its attacks. She then said, ”From what you said, I actually thought about what happened in the peach forest. The peach forest... It's a very similar design to this one. ”
”That's because it was created by the same person. Although I do not know what sort of person is capable of designing this sort of thing, it is still worthy of respect.” Chen Qing said.
”Then go to hell and respect her! Don't drag the aunt to her death. Also, don't just stand there hugging your little beauty like an idiot, hurry up and kill these scorpions for me. ” Mu Ru Yue said viciously.
