Chapter 1081: Charge, charge, charge (1/2)

Han Yunxi and the rest were already at the foot of the mountain. With one day and one night allocated for the rescue mission, there was plenty of time. Han Yunxi opened up the map from Bai Yuqiao and found the location of Tiger Roar Cliff.

“Tiger’s Prison is located in the deep gully two mountains beyond,” she said seriously. “Let’s cross the mountains and scope out the situation before making any arrangements.”

Long Feiye and the other men had no input. Gu Qishao took the lead as usual, but Han Yunxi stopped Tang Li from following him.

“Tang Li, now isn’t the time to act impulsive. You’re a father, so you have to protect yourself well to protect your wife and child!” Han Yunxi declared.

Jun Yixie was different from other people. He not only excelled in martial arts, but knew poisons as well.

“Qishao and I will take the lead while you and your big brother stay behind,” Han Yunxi said before shoving Tang Li at Long Feiye. However, he ended up foisting Tang Li off to Gu Beiyue while pulling Han Yunxi into his arms.

“I’ll bring you up the mountain,” Long Feiye muttered in a low voice. Although her lightness techniques were quite good, he didn’t want her to go by herself, preferring to take her along instead. Just because a woman was strong didn’t mean she didn’t need to be taken care of. Men didn’t look after women just because they were weak, but as a form of love and protection as well as habit.

Gu Qishao was originally gloating over traveling ahead with Poison lass, but all that soured when he saw Long Feiye holding Han Yunxi as always and flying his way. He didn’t even bother waiting for them, but charged straight ahead. Amusement flashed in Gu Beiyue’s eyes as he spoke to Tang Li. “Tang Clan Head, since we’ve already come so far, we can’t afford to act rashly. Please bring up the rear with this one.”

“Alright!” Tang Li accepted calmly.

The group smoothly climbed over the first mountain, but in the middle of the second, Gu Qishao halted and said, “Poison lass, there’s poison up ahead.”

Han Yunxi had Long Feiye and the rest stop. “There is poison, a lot of it too.”

The season was ripe for poison plants to sprout and there was naturally plenty of toxic plants in the forests. However, there was no reason for them to be so densely packed together! Human judgment might have errors, but not tha of the detox system.

“There are poisonous vipers all over the peak and no place to set our feet. There’s also quite a few swarms of poisonous mosquitoes,” Han Yunxi said.

Now everyone was stunned. Even Gu Qishao was shocked. He knew there were poisonous animals at the peak, but didn’t expect there to be so much. Cursing, he said, “Is Jun Yixie mental?”

“He’s not. He’s trying to prevent a sneak attack from us with me here,” Han Yunxi said icily.

Both the vipers and mosquitoes were commonplace animals with uncommon quantities. But even the deadliest toxic animals couldn’t bar Han Yunxi. Jun Yixie had placed them there as the first line of defense for Tiger’s Prison. To get pass the animals, they would have to eliminate them, but that would signal Jun Yixie that they had arrived.

There were plenty of paths leading to Tiger’s Prison, but only one path took them into the second mountain where it lay. With this seamless guard against them, it was impossible to avoid confrontation with the beasts. Their only choice would be to alert Jun Yixie.

Thus, now two choices laid before them: wait until tomorrow night for Jun Yixie to take them to tea, or destroy all of the poison animals and announce their presence to the man! After some hesitation from the group, Long Feiye declared, “Tang Li, are we waiting or charging? You decide!”

Despite becoming Tang Clan Head, Tang Li had never made a decision on such major affairs. He looked rather blankly towards Long Feiye.

“Don’t dawdle, but think clearly before you pick,” Long Feiye said next.

Tang Li’s hands formed into fists before he shouted without hesitation, “Charge!”

Long Feiye was all too pleased with his answer, while Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue burst out into laughter. Gu Qishao slapped Tang Li on the shoulders and said, “Not bad, little fellow!”

If he said they charge, they’d charge! Han Yunxi would open the way!

She had Long Feiye and the rest find some kindling before lighting up ten separate bonfires. Then she placed some unknown poison into the flames.

“Here, everyone gets one antidote pill. Now onto the trees and I’ll show you guys a good show!” Han Yunxi said while dispensing tablets.

Gu Beiyue and Tang Li did as they were told before scurrying up the trees.

“Poison lass, what kind of poison did you use?” Gu Qishao was curious.

“It’s a secret, now hurry and climb a tree,” Han Yunxi urged.

Gu Qishao finally ate his pill and flew off to sit on a tall tree. The bonfires gave rise to white pillars of smoke that sent out a strong, sharp fragrance. Long Feiye held Han Yunxi as they flew up next to Gu Qishao. As the smoke dispersed, the fragrance spread across the mountain woods. Soon enough, they saw clouds of thick black fog flying their way.
