Seeing how serious Lil Thing was, Han Yunxi quickly squatted down and let Lil Thing sniff the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Lil Thing was very cooperative. After sniffing the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion for a while, it started sniffing around.
Thus, master and servant sniffed around seriously. Suddenly, Lil Thing stopped, as if it had discovered something. It stood up and stared at Han Yunxi with wide eyes.
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. "What did you smell?"
"Squeak squeak!" Lil Thing cried out excitedly. It jumped onto her and sat on her shoulder. "Squeak squeak squeak …"
Han Yunxi quickly pulled it down and placed it in her palm, her face full of excitement. "Did you find something? This secret passage has the scent of Perplexing Butterfly Illusion? Is that right? "
Seeing how happy its master was, Lil Thing was even happier. It jumped a few times in Han Yunxi's palm.
"Really?" Han Yunxi really wanted a definite answer!
Lil Thing suddenly jumped down and ran into the depths of the secret passage.
"This is the path?"
Han Yunxi was overjoyed and quickly chased after it. Lil Thing even stopped and turned back to look at her, as if it was waiting for her.
Seeing Lil Thing's behavior, Han Yunxi was eighty percent confident. She quickened her pace and followed it.
Seeing that Han Yunxi continued to follow, Lil Thing ran even faster.
But who knew that as they ran, Han Yunxi would suddenly hear a rustling sound coming from the front. It sounded like a large group of things were coming from afar, moving restlessly.
What was going on?
Han Yunxi stopped abruptly and became alert. At the same time, Lil Thing also stopped in front.
In the blink of an eye, they saw a large group of palm-sized black spiders. They were densely packed and like a flood, they covered the sky and covered the earth.
Han Yunxi was stunned. For a moment, all the hair on her body stood on end!
She wasn't afraid of spiders, but such a large group of black spiders was too scary and disgusting, wasn't it? She realized that her legs had turned to jelly.
The detoxification system did not alert her, so these spiders should not be poisonous. Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that they were poisonous.
There were too many things in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds that were out of the ordinary. Han Yunxi's mind was in a mess.
Not to mention whether they were poisonous or not, just the fact that there were so many of them was enough to scare someone to death even if they weren't bitten to death.
Han Yunxi didn't think much of it. She instinctively turned and ran the moment she saw the group of spiders.
Lil Thing also ran, almost at the same time as Han Yunxi, but in the opposite direction, it ran towards the spiders!
The insects and beasts here, regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, were all afraid of it. Basically, they wouldn't get close to it. It wasn't easy to use its master's human scent to attract these spiders, so of course, it couldn't miss it.
Unfortunately, its master ran away too quickly. Just as the little thing ran over, the group of spiders immediately scattered. One by one, the huge black spiders fled in all directions as if they were running for their lives. In a short while, they were all gone.
Awoooo …
Lil Thing stared at the empty secret passage and plopped down on the ground. It really wanted to cry. I've been a vegetarian for so many days, but I haven't eaten meat yet!
Han Yunxi ran and ran until she realized that Lil Thing wasn't following her. She stopped, realizing that there was no need for her to run at all.
If Lil Thing couldn't even deal with a swarm of spiders, how could it survive in the Poison Sect?
She quickly turned back, only to see that the swarm of black spiders had disappeared without a trace. It was as if they'd never appeared in the first place.
Lil Thing was sitting in the middle of the secret passage, its head drooping in disappointment.
Han Yunxi stared and stared. The more she looked, the more she felt that something wasn't right. There was no way the little beast hadn't noticed the swarm of spiders approaching, so it had been sniffing just now …
Alright, Han Yunxi instantly understood!
She walked forward and pulled Lil Thing over, then stood in place and let it sniff the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.
Lil Thing was listless because it hadn't eaten any meat, so it allowed Han Yunxi to grab it. Its little nose was stuck in the opening of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion bottle as it refused to budge.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight. She glanced at the hourglass she carried with her and decided not to make things difficult for Lil Thing. She stuffed it back into her medical pouch and fed it some bone poison from her detox system.
Time was almost up, so she had to leave.
An hour was both a long and short time. If it wasn't for Lil Thing, Han Yunxi would've been surrounded by the spiders long ago. Even if she hadn't been surrounded, it would've taken her two to four hours to escape.
Currently, Chu Qingge had just emerged from the secret passage. It was unclear what she'd encountered, but her white robes were stained with blood. Her left hand was hugging her right arm, indicating that she'd suffered serious injuries.
"Qingge, what's wrong?!" Chu Tianyin panicked as he rushed over to support her. But Chu Qingge only said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about!"
So speaking, she took a deep breath and forced herself to walk step by step out of the stone door and out of the secret passage.
Her luck had been terrible to run into the white tiger's sneak attack. Fortunately, she'd reacted quickly enough, or else her arm would've been gone by now.
Her injuries were indeed serious, but she still pretended that nothing was wrong. As soon as she stepped out, she looked towards the stone door and asked coldly, "Han Yunxi hasn't come out yet?"
If this girl was already injured to this extent, would Han Yunxi be in the same state?
After a while, Chu Qingge couldn't wait any longer. She endured the pain and grinned. "It can't be that Han Yunxi won't be able to come out, right?"
"Heheh, it's about time. As this crown prince sees it, things point to disaster," Duanmu Baiye smiled coldly.
Neither Long Feiye nor Aunt Ru paid her any attention, but Long Feiye's eyes flickered with worry.
Yet right at this moment, a figure emerged from the depths of the secret passage. It grew clearer and clearer until it was none other than Han Yunxi.
Long Fei Ye was so close to rushing over, but he didn't.
He only stood in place and watched.
Chu Qingge and Duanmu Baiye couldn't believe it and hurried over. But Long Fei Ye took a step forward and blocked the passage with his tall frame.
Duanmu Baiye was about to speak when Chu Qingge stopped him. Full of confidence, she said in a low voice, "There's no rush. Wait and see."
Han Yunxi had seen Long Fei Ye from a distance. For some reason, his tall figure blocking the passage gave her an indescribable sense of loneliness.
She walked in front of him, but he still didn't move aside. His tall frame gave off an oppressive feeling, but also a sense of security. He lowered his head to look at her, his dark eyes as deep as the sea.
Han Yunxi wanted him to move aside, but when she saw his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to speak. Instead, she lowered her head.
The two of them fell silent.
Long Fei Ye studied her silently, inspecting every inch of her body to make sure she wasn't injured.
Finally, even Chu Qingge couldn't take it anymore. Cold, she asked, "Duke of Qin, what do you mean by this?"
Duanmu Baiye laughed coldly at Chu Qingge's words. "Long Fei Ye, what, are you afraid to admit your loss?"
Long Fei Ye didn't move, allowing them to speak as they pleased. He slowly examined her as if he wanted to inspect every inch of her body.
Chu Qingge, who'd been left out to dry, couldn't take it anymore. She raged, "Long Fei Ye, are you going to publicly shield her like this? It was Han Yunxi who said she wanted to fight one on one! "
Only then did Long Feiye turn to look at her. Chu Qingge didn't expect this at all. His cold eyes gave her a start.
This was the first time! Long Fei Ye had looked her in the eye for the first time!
No matter how proud Chu Qingge was, her heart couldn't help but race. But Long Fei Ye only gave a cold snort before withdrawing his gaze and backing away from the door.
Now Han Yunxi appeared before the crowd. Her clothes were clean and tidy, her hair in a neat bun. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her smile was light. She wasn't hurt at all!
How could this be?
Chu Qingge gaped. She couldn't believe it!
Duanmu Baiye and Chu Tianyin were equally shocked, but their shock differed from Chu Qingge's. The two of them exchanged glances as if realizing something.
Han Yunxi easily stepped over the threshold of the stone door. When she saw Chu Qingge's blood-stained clothes, she smiled. "It looks like Miss Chu's injuries aren't light!"
"I'm not!" Chu Qingge was still holding on.
"Then did you lose?" Han Yunxi asked with a grin.
Now Chu Qingge couldn't even hold on. No matter how light her injuries were, she'd still lost to Han Yunxi who wasn't hurt at all!
How could this be?!
Big brother had said before that the five doors were filled with dangers. No matter what, it couldn't be that she wasn't hurt at all!
Chu Qingge couldn't figure it out, but Han Yunxi was standing right in front of her. She had no choice but to believe or act shamelessly.
She couldn't help but steal a glance at Long Fei Ye, only to see that Long Fei Ye's gaze was fixed on Han Yunxi. He was so focused on her that his usual cold demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
When she recalled Long Fei Ye's soft chuckle just then, Chu Qingge's heart broke into pieces.
"If you lose, leave your clothes behind first, then …"
Han Yunxi said. At first she was still smiling, but when she turned to look at Duanmu Baiye, her expression turned gloomy. In a cold voice, she said, "Then you can all scram!"
Unexpectedly, Duanmu Baiye's figure flashed past, knocking aside Han Yunxi who was blocking his way and darting into the second door.
There was only one explanation for Han Yunxi coming out unscathed, and that was that the second door had no dangers at all. Han Yunxi's luck was good and she'd made the right choice!
Chu Tianyin had said that only one of the five doors led to the treasury. Either it had no dangers at all, or it was extremely dangerous. It looked like they were looking for the second door!
Seeing Duanmu Baiye dash in, Chu Tianyin's eyes flickered with a complicated look. Without hesitation, he pulled Chu Qingge along with him and the two siblings darted through the second door.
If the second door was the one they were looking for, then he wouldn't miss it even if he had to break his promise and throw away his honor!
That was because the thing he was looking for was too important. It was related to the clan's mission, and the so-called treasury was nothing more than a lie to trick Duanmu Baiye.
Long Fei Ye was holding onto Han Yunxi, who'd been knocked aside, so he didn't have time to stop them.
After confirming that Han Yunxi was fine, he prepared to chase after them, but Han Yunxi hastily stopped him. "You can't go in, it's very dangerous inside!"
There was a dense swarm of black spiders inside. If it wasn't for Lil Thing keeping watch, anyone who went in would be hard-pressed to escape. Even if they didn't die, they'd be half-dead.
Why were Duanmu Baiye and the rest fighting to get in first? Were they seeking death?
