The mountain that Ruan Ling was talking about was a mountain that was between the sky ditch and Xiugu. The entire area of the mountain was thirty kilometers, and was densely covered with forest, but behind the mountain, the terrain was relatively flat and one could finish walking in a day. After walking down the mountain, there was a large river surrounded by Death Valley in front of them.
Ruan Ling was truly worthy of being the empress of Death Valley. Under her lead, she and the Eight Immortals Girl conquered the mountain the next day, and they smoothly arrived at the surging river bank.
Looking at the fierce river, Ah Meii exclaimed, ”Sister, I never thought that we would have such a river, where should we head to now?”
”I've calculated before, if Ah Ju, Young Master, and the others were to really go downstream along this river, they would definitely not be able to reach us yet. According to their normal walking speed, they would only be able to reach the place we're standing in seven or eight more days. Come, let's go upstream and search for something.
”Yes, sister.” The beauties all responded in unison.
Just like this, Ruan Ling and the Eight Immortals ladies walked upstream along the river. One day, while the many beautiful girls were searching for their way up, Ah Meii noticed something again. She saw a rag floating under the river and she casually said, ”Yea? Is that a piece of cloth? ”
After everyone heard this, they all looked towards the river. Ruan Ling knew that in the forest, there were usually no signs of human habitation, and under normal circumstances, no human beings would ever use anything in the river. Thus, out of curiosity, she walked to the shore and had Ah Yu find a branch to pull up this piece of rag.
Ruan Ling picked up the rag and looked at it carefully. Seeing that it was a piece of torn pants, and it looked a little familiar, she suddenly thought of something, which was the cloth that fell off Tang Wenhao's pants, and thought that it was not good, and immediately said to the beauties: ”Everyone listen carefully, this is the cloth on Young Master's pants, it means that they are definitely in danger ahead of us, everyone hurry up and go ahead.”
When the beauties heard this, their hearts burned with anxiety. However, they still saw hope. The few days of dispiritedness in their minds immediately vanished and they all became full of energy.
Having lost her husband, sister and close sister, Ah Ju really couldn't imagine that she could endure such a blow.
To make a long story short, the nine beautiful girls walked along the riverbank for another three days before they finally saw the intersection of three rivers. Ah Meii exclaimed, ”Sis, look, there are two forks in front of us.
”Let's talk about it when we get there!” Ruan Ling said coldly, she had not spoke much and could not eat for several days now. When she thought of how Tang Wenhao and Ah Ju's life and death was unknown, she had no appetite at all.
”Sister, I smell a stench. It seems to be the stench of something dead.” Ah Yu took a deep breath and frowned.
”Hmm, really, Sis. I smell it too. It stinks, so disgusting.” Ah Meii said. After she finished speaking, almost everyone smelled a terrible stench.
In fact, Ruan Ling had also smelled it, she said to the big guy, ”Don't be afraid, let's look around first, what exactly is this thing that's dead?”
All the beauties looked at each other, angered Ruan Ling, and shouted, ”What are you looking at, this is definitely not Young Master or Ah Ju, do you hear me? It must be some wild beast that died near here. ”
”Yes, Sister. We also think that it is definitely not Young Master. Let's go, it seems like we're not far ahead.” Ah Yu waved her hand, and the Eight Immortals continued to walk forward.
As the stench got closer and closer, Ruan Ling's heart almost jumped out. She silently muttered in her heart, ”It's not my darling, it's not, it's definitely not, darling, you must be okay, if anything happens to you, your Ah Ling can't live anymore, you must be okay, it's definitely okay …” Ah Ling swears that if all of you are fine this time, Ah Sis will never leave you guys ever again. ”
Ah Meii and Ah Bi who were running in front finally found the source of the stench, and shouted at Ruan Ling who was behind them with a smile, ”Ah Ju, not Young Master, Big Sister Ah Ju and the others, it's a huge snake.”
Hearing that, Ruan Ling sat on the ground with a thump, her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, ”I said it already, it definitely isn't my treasure, my darling, you will definitely be fine.”
Ah Yu squatted down, and hugged Ruan Ling while sobbing, ”Big Sis, you must hold on, Young Master must be fine. You love Young Master so much, and he's so outstanding, things won't get out of hand so easily.”
”En, Ah Yu, thank you for accompanying Ah Sis in searching for them. Sisters, I swear here that only you guys can find Young Master, Ah Sis will remember your kindness from the bottom of her heart.”
”Sister, Young Master is such a good man, we like him a lot too. We are the same as Sister, we don't like him getting into trouble either. Sister, get up!” With that, Ah Yu pulled Ruan Ling up.
Ruan Ling led Ah Yu and the others over to Ah Meii's side. Ah Meii and Ah Bi covered their noses, and looked at a python that had been dead for a long time, whose stomach was injured, and whose eye had a hole pierced in it. The python that had attacked Tang Wenhao officially died while lying on the ground, its surroundings filled with ants and bugs.
”Ah Yu, maybe Young Master killed this python. If it is, Young Master and the others should be nearby. Ruan Ling ordered.
