After Fu Wang went into seclusion, Chu Yu couldn't wait to leave. She had to follow the scent left by the fox girl, Black Widow, who had the key to Penglai Prefecture.
When she arrived at the place, Chu Yu was dismayed to find that there was only a little scent left. She followed it all the way to a canyon and the scent disappeared. It was probably raining here, which washed away the scent. Even if Chu Yu's nose was good, she couldn't smell where the person was.
Standing at the entrance of the canyon with a bitter face, Chu Yu was a little hesitant. If she couldn't find the person, could she just go back like this? No matter how she thought about it, she was unwilling. Now that Fu Wang was in seclusion, it was meaningless for her to go back. It was better to look outside.
After deciding, Chu Yu looked around and finally walked straight into the canyon. There was a type of pink flower growing in the canyon, and it smelled quite fragrant.
Chu Yu had only lived in this world for half a year. After all, she was still too inexperienced. Her sense of crisis and sensitivity were far inferior to Fu Wang, a monster who had lived in danger since childhood. If Fu Wang was here at this moment, seeing this quiet canyon and smelling the fragrance of the flowers, he would definitely be vigilant.
But Chu Yu didn't, so she naturally fell into the trap and fell head-on. Smelling the fragrance of the flowers and being blown by the wind, Chu Yu felt her vision go black. She swayed and fainted on the ground.
She didn't know how long it had been when she woke up again. Darkness surrounded her. Chu Yu had a splitting headache for a while before she could see the scene around her. She was now in a pitch-black cave. Her whole body was tied up and she was lying in a corner. There was a black thing next to her. It seemed to be a person who was caught. That person was motionless. She didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
She felt that she couldn't use the spiritual power in her body, but her body was not injured. The mask on her face was also taken off. She was tied up with a type of demon-sealing rope that was a must-have tool for killing and robbing people. Although the name was quite high-end, it was a must-have tool for bad guys. It was not expensive either. Fu Wang also had one. After Chu Yu had dealt with a few demonic beasts who had tried to rob them, he had also collected quite a number of them in his Qiankun Pouch.
At this moment, Chu Yu really wanted to thank her life coach, Fu Wang, because he taught her how to quickly release the Demon Sealing Rope when she was tied up. At that time, he smiled and said that he would teach her some common knowledge about living in the Mongze Demon Realm. One of the things he taught her was that she was tied up by Fu Wang with the Demon Locking Rope. At first, she thought that her boss was going to do something discordant, so she was extremely nervous. In the end, it was just a normal lecture.
Now that he thought about it, the awkwardness disappeared. What replaced it was admiration for Fu Wang's foresight. As expected of their boss!
Twisting her body to lean against the wall of the cave, Chu Yu adjusted her posture. Using the hands tied behind her back, she twisted the seemingly tight knot. Normally, she would be able to use her sharp demonic claws to cut the rope. However, the Demon Locking Rope prevented this from happening, so she could only use a special knife to cut it. However, according to Fu Wang's teachings, it would be faster to use her fingers to untie it.
Chu Yu only learned three simple ways to untie the knot. Fortunately, her luck was not bad. The knot that tied her up happened to be taught by Fu Wang. Chu Yu quickly untied the Demon Locking Rope on her body. She searched her body and found that her Qiankun Pouch was gone. The knife that was tied to her calf was also gone.
Chu Yu frowned and clicked her tongue. She couldn't help but thank Fu Wang for his meticulous preparation. She had a lot of things that Fu Wang made for her. For example, the leather gloves on her hands had blades hidden inside them. The band that tied her hair had tough silk that would be very sharp if it was used to cut her throat. There was an empty layer at the bottom of her shoes that hid tiny needles that could be used to inject poison. Also, in her belt, there was a layer of medicine that could heal injuries. There was also a layer of commonly used medicinal powder. On the right side, there was a poison that Fu Wang made.
From the second layer on the left, Chu Yu took out a packet of medicinal powder and poured it directly into her mouth. If the person who caught her used the most common medicine to suppress her spiritual power, then this packet of medicinal powder would be able to cure her. If not, there was nothing she could do. She could only try it.
These things that Fu Wang prepared for her were things that she had never used before. She didn't know if she was too lucky or something else. Of course, in the past, when she fought openly, most of the time, she couldn't beat her. However, if she played dirty, Chu Yu could only be defeated.
But it didn't matter. Didn't she have the support of her boss? Boss! Generally speaking, the Goblin Clan believed in their own demonic power. The higher the level of the Goblin Clan, the stronger their spiritual power would be. They disdained to use this kind of weak and opportunistic method and only relied on their own spiritual power. Therefore, once they couldn't use their spiritual power, they wouldn't be able to do much damage. However, as a human who was taught by someone like Fu Wang, Chu Yu didn't have this problem.
Her skills had been trained quite well. With the strength of her body, even if she didn't use her spiritual power, she could still break a large rock with her bare hands. Furthermore, she had weapons and medicine in her hands, so she should be able to escape. The medicinal powder took effect relatively slowly, but Chu Yu still felt that her spiritual power that was being suppressed was loosening bit by bit. Immediately, her heart felt more relaxed.
Chu Yu was only thinking about what position she should use to make those kidnappers kneel down and call her father after her spiritual power recovered.
Suddenly, Chu Yu's ears twitched. She heard rustling sounds not far away. She looked over vigilantly and saw a black figure moving. As if sensing her gaze, that person opened his mouth and said, "Can I trouble you to help me untie this rope?"
Hearing the voice, it was a young man. Chu Yu didn't move. The other side continued, "I am Ji Yaolian, the younger brother of the Spirit Clan's Young Clan Leader, Ji Luolian. If you are willing to help me, I can promise you one thing."
This man's tone didn't sound like he was begging for help. It was light and there were no excessive emotions in his words. There was no fear, joy, or anxiousness. There was only calmness. Chu Yu thought for a moment before remembering Ji Yaolian. She was the other girl in the Spirit Channeling Meeting. That girl looked gentle and soft, and she was kind to her.
Chu Yu liked the Spirit Clan more than the other four Clans. Their temperament was mostly the same as their original form. Apart from a small number who deserved a beating, most of them were more peaceful and wouldn't have any malicious intent towards others for no reason. In order to get those skill books for Fu Wang, Chu Yu had interacted with the Spirit Clan's Yao Clan quite a bit.
As a result, she only paused for a moment before going forward to untie the Demon Sealing Rope on the man lying on the ground. Chu Yu felt that since this man was Ji Yaolian's younger brother, he might have seen her before. Fortunately, it was dark here and she couldn't see his face clearly.
"I'll save you once. There's no need for any conditions. You just have to give me some books and jade slips about formations, alchemy, divination, and so on." Thinking that Fu Wang probably didn't need the basics anymore, she added, "I want something more difficult. I don't want anything that's easy to learn."
The man sat up and said in a light tone, "My Qiankun Pouch was taken away. Everything is in there. I can't give it to you right now."
Chu Yu remembered and said casually, "I'll go look for my Qiankun Pouch later. I'll help you look for it. Then you can give it to me."
The man seemed to be silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Why didn't you just take it away after you found it?" His calm tone carried a hint of doubt that said, "Why are you being so reasonable?"
"You're not a bad person and you're still alive. We don't have any enmity between us, so I have no reason to take your things for myself." Chu Yu sighed. Why was she such a righteous girl?
The sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the cave. Chu Yu narrowed her eyes and gripped the blade in her hand. She took a few steps and hid behind a corner near the entrance of the cave.
The flames flickered as two burly men walked in with torches in their hands. They chatted loudly as they walked. One of them said in a rough voice, "That Fox Clan woman's Qiankun Pouch has a lot of good things. Big Brother and Third Brother are all very happy. Why isn't Second Brother happy!"
The other voice was even more unpleasant to hear. It sounded like a broken gong and its tone was full of disdain, "Second Brother has always been a coward. Old Nine, it's not like you don't know. He's afraid that if he gets a big shot, they'll come looking for us. Heh, if you ask me, that Fox Clan woman looks really good. After playing with her, we'll just kill her and burn her clean. What's there to hesitate about! "
"Right, right, right! Eighth Brother, you're still the most straightforward! "
Chu Yu could tell from their unpleasant voices that they weren't even small bosses. They were just cannon fodder. Also, were these two people just here to explain the situation? As soon as she heard their words, she knew that there were nine of them. They called each other brothers. Other than Second Brother who was more cautious, the others were all arrogant outlaws. Chu Yu listened to their heavy footsteps and added, "These people shouldn't be very strong. Their faces are probably ugly too."
"Ai, what a pity. Of course, Big Brother has to play with her first. When it's our turn, who knows if that little girl will still be alive!" The man called Eighth Brother was still grumbling unhappily when he suddenly felt a gust of wind pass by. He seemed to see a red shadow in the corner of his eyes.
