"Gu Tong, you’re not joking, are you..."
Zhao Yong’s voice was trembling, he didn’t expect Gu Tong to be so insane!
Gu Tong fixed her gaze on him and said word by word, "Do I look like I’m joking?"
She was very serious, perhaps never more serious than now!
She was going to save her man! No one could sway her on this!
"This..." Zhao Yong frowned with difficulty, saying, "We don’t even know what’s happening outside right now. If we rush out, not only wouldn’t we save anyone, we’d just be adding to the chaos..."
Of course, Gu Tong knew this!
But if she were to give up because of this, that truly wouldn’t be her character!
Moreover, Li Yan was still on the mountain, and she couldn’t just sit and wait.
"I have an idea! Are you willing to give it a try?"
The trainees in this search team had no backbone! They wouldn’t follow her up the mountain recklessly, so Gu Tong rationally changed her target, setting her sights on Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong wasn’t a coward, or he wouldn’t have made it to the position of captain. He could somewhat guess Gu Tong’s idea but still said, "Go ahead!"
"The situation is very unfavorable for us now! Earl Li is still in the enemy camp, constantly facing danger. The rest of the search team lacks ability, so I don’t plan to use them! So, my idea is, you and I will go up the mountain to explore together!"
"You, me..." Zhao Yong swallowed hard.
He initially thought Gu Tong would send him off alone, and he was ready to charge out by himself. But he didn’t expect a twist, that she would actually go with him...
What a brave Royal Doctor...
Zhao Yong learned for the first time that there was such a fearless Royal Doctor in their Academy.
"Any problems?" Gu Tong raised an eyebrow.
"No problem!" Zhao Yong, after all, came from a search team and was the captain, so there was no worry about his ability to be discreet. However, he was concerned about Gu Tong, saying, "But...are you up to it?"
The Royal Doctor’s specialty was healing and saving people, even joining the most basic combat was difficult, let alone exploring the mountain. If physical strength faltered, or if unforeseen circumstances occurred, exposure was a real possibility.
"Don’t worry about it!"
Even though her physical strength hadn’t fully recovered, her reconnaissance ability and other skills were still intact, and at the very least, she had the ability to protect herself. Moreover, this matter concerned Li Yan’s safety, so she couldn’t trust it in anyone else’s hands.
In the eerie black room, even the air felt a little congealed.
Li Yan, hands cuffed, was escorted to this place by the Weapons Dealers. His Academy Uniform was somewhat wrinkled, but he stood with a straight spine and showed no sign of fear on his face. He said calmly, "My temporary abode?"
Li Yan’s first task after entering was to carefully observe his surroundings. It was an enclosed space, the only exit being the large door through which Chuan Er had just led him in. There were no windows to be seen, making it a perfect place for confinement.
Chuan Er turned on a lamp and smiled, "This place is simple, quite a grievance for the Devil King."
He sat on the sofa, putting his legs on the coffee table, saying, "But this place is the most hidden! No one can find it, not even the local villagers."
Chuan Er was also cunning. When he first arrived here, he made a sealed ’prison’, avoiding the villagers’ eyes, which was quite a feat.
