Let her put down Tan’er?
Meng Qianqian looked forward indifferently: "Tan’er."
The jumping Tan’er stopped and turned to look at Meng Qianqian: "Sister?"
Meng Qianqian said, "It’s dangerous ahead."
Tan’er continued to hop forward.
Meng Qianqian gazed intently.
Duan Mingyue, you want me to leave Tan’er here alone, and then what?
Will you protect her?
Unfortunately, I can’t trust you.
As long as I have breath, I will never let Tan’er die in front of me.
You might not be able to do the same.
"Young Madam, they’ve disappeared, where do we go to find the Black Armor Army?"
Cui Hu asked, looking around nervously.
Meng Qianqian assessed the surrounding terrain and said, "Head southeast."
"Southeast! Southeast!"
Tan’er changed direction.
Yu Zichuan walked ahead of her.
Cui Hu followed alongside Meng Qianqian: "Young Madam, do you know the way?"
Meng Qianqian said calmly, "I don’t, but if I were Han Qi, I would camp in that valley."
Cui Hu followed her gaze, only seeing layers of towering peaks: "Where’s the valley?"
Tan’er didn’t look back, hopping as she said: "If Sister says there is one, there definitely is!"
Cui Hu expressed doubt but dared not refute.
He continued, "Young Madam, I think the Black Armor Army is just over ten thousand troops, and they’ve long been leaderless. Is it worth such attention?"
Meng Qianqian murmured: "It’s worth it."
Cui Hu opened his mouth but said no more.
The group traveled from sunrise until the hour of You.
Dusk draped the green mountains and water, casting a bewitching glow.
Meng Qianqian suddenly halted.
"Yu Zichuan, Tan’er."
She called out to them.
Yu Zichuan became instantly vigilant, while Tan’er turned around: "Sister, what’s up?"
Meng Qianqian threw two medicine pills to them: "Take the Antidote Pill first."
She also gave one to Cui Hu.
Cui Hu asked, "Young Madam, aren’t you taking one? Is it because none are left? Here, have this one!"
Meng Qianqian said, "I have the Golden Silkworm Gu, I’m not afraid of poison."
Only then did Cui Hu take the Antidote Pill.
After another quarter-hour walk, the group entered a serene grove.
The canopy blocked out the sky, as if evening had suddenly fallen.
The woods were initially filled with wisps of mist; the further in, the denser the mist grew.
Cui Hu wondered aloud: "Isn’t it not even evening yet, why’s there mist?"
Meng Qianqian remained alert to their surroundings: "It’s miasma."
Cui Hu quickly covered his mouth and nose.
A split second later, he remembered he had taken the Antidote Pill.
"Young Madam, have you been here before?"
It was her Golden Silkworm Gu reacting.
Cui Hu also quickly became vigilant.
Meng Qianqian held Tan’er’s hand, no longer letting her rush ahead.
Yu Zichuan led the way, while Cui Hu took the rear.
Suddenly, a spear flew through the air, aimed directly at Meng Qianqian’s head.
Yu Zichuan drew his sword, slicing the spear in one move!
However, the danger did not stop; several more spears arrived instantaneously.
This time, everyone became a target.
"Tricks of the trade!"
Tan’er released Meng Qianqian’s hand, leaped up, kicked away one spear, and then bent backward to dodge another. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Sister, am I awesome?"
Meng Qianqian nodded, "But, they’re gone."
Tan’er was dumbfounded, "Is there an ambush in this forest?"
Meng Qianqian surveyed the surroundings: "The Miasma Forest is the perfect place for an ambush."
Tan’er placed her hands on her hips: "Aren’t they afraid of poisoning?"
Meng Qianqian pondered: "Someone in the Black Armor Army knows how to make Antidote Pills."
Tan’er tilted her head: "The Goddess said Antidote Pills are hard to make! Why so skilled?"
Meng Qianqian focused her gaze: "Mao Tu."
Tan’er was disappointed: "Oh, I thought there was a new Twelve Guards."
"There is a new one."
Tan’er flapped her arms behind her, her eyes wide open: "Where?"
Meng Qianqian pulled out a spear embedded in a tree, feeling the crescent totem on it: "Zi Shu."
Zi Shu is an extremely dangerous person.
Unexpectedly, he’s also with the Black Armor Army.
Mao Tu is just here for fun, but what is he here for?
"Tan’er, no matter what happens next, don’t take a step away from me."
She had just finished speaking and did not hear Tan’er’s response; she turned her head, only to see a figure rushing into the thick fog.
She quickly discarded the spear and chased after, grabbing Tan’er’s hand: "Tan’er!"
Tan’er looked at her blankly, then raised her hand to point forward: "Sister, just now... I saw Mom, she... went over there..."
Meng Qianqian hurriedly checked Tan’er’s pulse.
The pulse was temporarily stable, just too fast out of excitement.
