Chapter 153: Gnolls and the War Camp

Over the course of three days, Vane followed Mien's transport caravan through several blockaded checkpoints.

After passing a few fortresses nestled in narrow mountain passes, they arrived at the vast expanse of the Hewitt Plains.

The relentless journey had even the horses panting heavily.

At high noon, the July heatwave distorted the horizon.

The scorching sun made sweat pour down in streams. The knights wiped their brows continuously, exhausted and drowsy to the point where their eyelids were barely able to stay open.

Actually, what I did was a bit out of line. Given her status as a married woman, she was different, and I had expected her to refuse. To my surprise, after putting it on, she buttoned it up herself, thrust both hands into the pockets of the garment, and smiled at me—clearly, she had accepted it.

"Good to know you understand." Bai Yi had prepared himself as well. This was an invention of Liu Zhixi—a special belt that could be fastened around the waist, equipped with slots to hold custom-designed throwing daggers. Encircling the entire waist, it could accommodate over twenty throwing daggers. Once the outer garment was dropped into place, they were completely invisible from the outside.

The most terrifying thing was that his entire face had vanished. What met the eye was a bloody, blurred mess, where even the facial features were indistinguishable.

To fall asleep was to die; to fall asleep was to give those people an opportunity; to fall asleep meant heaven knows what might happen.

Tang Sancheng instinctively took the meat from Aunt Niu's hands and shoved it straight into his mouth, chewing voraciously. His greedy expression looked as though he hadn't tasted a drop of oil or meat in fifty years.

Furthermore, it was not merely the two of them locked in combat with the rogue cultivators; in reality, several dozen righteous cultivators had already gathered to wage a massive battle against another faction of dozens of evil practitioners.

There were a total of five segments to be filmed this time, each one more difficult than the last. After filming began on the second segment, they hit another roadblock.

Ye Shu truly had very little inclination to stay. Not only the Zheng family, but he also had no intention of returning to the Bai residence—originally, he had only been a temporary guest there. When the time came to travel, he and Changlan would naturally return to living as wanderers across the four seas.

The Pingcheng Prefecture Yamen was a place of mixed company. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Qian had arranged the meeting with the Wang family at Yuxiangfang in the west of the city. The surrender of the Xuanicheng Spice Merchants' Association had indeed brought many conveniences to the Yang family, and this was one of them.

Yet, no matter how fiercely they fought among themselves, they were still aware of the battles being waged by the Golden Core cultivators below.

"Hey! Stop moving and stay put!" Ye Lingchen's face darkened. What was going on here? He had clearly been in the middle of cultivation; how had he suddenly ended up here? And worse, he had been left in such a wretched state by things summoned by this wild girl who had popped up from goodness knows where.

"..." Qian Yuluo knew that whether there were other methods depended entirely on the Soul of the Netherworld. If the Soul of the Netherworld nodded, Fusang would probably scamper over eagerly to tell her the alternative methods. But if the Soul of the Netherworld maintained this attitude, she might very well grow old and die right here.

She failed to notice that after taking the Dragon-Tiger Purple Gold Pill, a subtle change had occurred within her body. As her emotions fluctuated violently, a terrifying power seemed to be awakening deep inside her.

"Alright, this is no time to be amazed. How is the information I asked you to investigate?" Wu Lei immediately pressed. Although seeing the two of them unharmed was a relief, the lingering unease in his heart had not dissipated in the slightest.

Ke Xuanyu ultimately returned to City A just as planned, but before he got back, Ke Xiangbao had already discovered that Ellie had gone missing.

Hearing Lin Yingbin say this, his heart trembled. He lowered his head to look at his own chest, lost in thought as he pondered something.

Watching Ke Xinya being beaten to the point where she couldn't even speak, Ji Shuyao finally waved her hand to signal them to stop.

Ruier was a graduate student in biological research, deeply well-versed in cellular metabolism, pathogen aging and death, new cell division, and related fields.

Under the candlelight, Lou Zhi's robes billowed like fire, casting a tall, cold shadow behind his gold-embroidered python-patterned garments. He walked very slowly and leisurely, seating himself beside her. With a gentle sweep of his red sleeves, he ignored her entirely, simply pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking it as though no one else was there.
