After greeting Francolin Whistle.
Chen Wenxuan walked towards his brother, Chen Yulou.
"Big brother, it's been a while.”
"The trip to Hei Lian Mountain was considered smooth, right?”
Chen Yulou nodded calmly and asked about Hei Lian Mountain with a concerned tone.
"It's going smoothly. We've already reached the periphery.”Chen Wenxuan shrugged and said casually.
He knew this tsundere boss very well.
Because he could not get his father's approval, he always secretly competed with him, the outstanding second son in his father's eyes.
Even so, the relationship between the brothers was still very good.
"Since it went smoothly, why did you only touch the outer perimeter?”
Chen Yulou frowned slightly.
"Could it be that you're here to stop me?"
"Wen Xuan, Pingshan is not doing this for myself, but for the countless starving refugees. There's no need for you to say anything to dissuade him.”
"We have to go down Bottle Mountain!"
Must I?
I have to go down this Bottle Mountain now, but I can't just go down like this.
Chen Wenxuan's mind spun quickly and he quickly came up with an explanation.
He pulled Chen Yulou to the side and whispered,
"Big brother, the name of the Great Vase Treasury has been passed down in the Xiang Land for hundreds of years. Although it is dangerous, there is no shortage of experts in the martial world who risk their lives for wealth.”
"Old Master was much more ruthless than us when he was young."
"Have you ever wondered why Bottle Mountain is still around?”
Chen Yulou was stunned and looked at Chen Wenxuan thoughtfully.
"Has the old master been to Bottle Mountain before?"
Heh, he took the bait.
Chen Wenxuan laughed in his heart. He put on a serious expression and nodded.
"Yes, the old master has been to Bottle Mountain before.”
"Actually, I also had ideas about Pingshan back then, but when the old man found out, he scolded me. That was also when I found out about Pingshan's situation.”
"What exactly is in Bottle Mountain?"
Chen Yulou didn't ask why the old man didn't tell him anymore. His attention was completely on Bottle Mountain.
He was born a few years earlier than Chen Wenxuan, so he knew very well what kind of person the old man was.
It could be said that he loved money as much as his life and had no taboos.
He was already twenty-eight years old and had seen many ruthless people, but he had never seen anyone as ruthless as the old man.
If even the old man didn't dare to lay his hands on Pingshan, then how fierce was this Pingshan?
After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Wenxuan said seriously,
"The rumors about the Corpse King of Bottle Mountain are true. There really is a Corpse King in Bottle Mountain.”
"That Corpse King was a general of the Yuan Dynasty when he was alive. After absorbing enough earth energy, his martial bones were hard to injure with knives and spears. Ordinary ink fountain nets and black donkey hooves couldn't deal with him at all.”
"But this Corpse King is not the most ferocious thing in the entire Bottle Mountain!”
Hearing this, Chen Yulou's expression finally changed.
The so-called Corpse King was actually the old dumpling with a noble status.
Although it was strong, it was no match for Xie Ling's numbers. With dozens of corpse detection poles, even the oldest dumpling could not exert any strength.
However, it was hard to say if there was something more ferocious than the Corpse King.
As the chief of Xie Ling, he naturally knew that there were many things in the tomb. Just relying on the number of people was not enough.
Seeing Chen Yulou's solemn expression, Chen Wenxuan knew that he had achieved his goal. He struck while the iron was hot and said,
"The area around Ping Mountain is rich in cinnabar, and the mountain range is unique. Before the Yuan Dynasty soldiers attacked, Ping Mountain had always been the secret place for the emperors to refine pills, storing countless herbs and gold stones.”
"Due to the year-round refining of medicinal pills, the medicinal qi in the mountains is lingering. The effects of the medicinal herbs and metals that no one cares about seep into the soil and rocks. In addition, it has been abandoned for a long time, attracting countless poisonous insects.”
"Those poisonous insects treat the Bottle Mountain as their nest. They eat the dead, devour each other, and spread the poison.”
"As long as a person's body is bitten by them, they will be poisoned into a pool of pus in half an hour and be absorbed by them.”
"The corpses buried near the Bottle Mountain will soon only have clothes left. This is not the Corpse King eating people, but the poison.”
"The old man said that the poisonous creatures in the Bottle Mountain are centipedes. There are countless of them, and there is even a large centipede that has cultivated into a spirit.”
"So that's the case."
Chen Yulou murmured. His face turned extremely pale, without a trace of blood.
He was sure that his younger brother would not lie to him about such a big matter.
Countless poisonous creatures, Corpse Kings, and Centipede Spirits
No wonder the old man lost his composure when he heard that he was going down the Bottle Mountain.
If that was the case, then this Bottle Mountain really couldn't be descended.
He would never treat the lives of two or three hundred brothers as a joke.
Seeing Chen Yulou's expression change, sometimes gritting his teeth and sometimes sighing, Chen Wenxuan continued to speak.
"Big brother, although this Bottle Mountain is dangerous, it's not like there's no way to deal with it.”
He just didn't want his family to suffer losses, not to persuade his big brother to retreat.
He was still counting on Pingshan to complete the quest.
"What can we do?"
Chen Yulou's eyes lit up.
Since he had already come this far, he indeed did not want to retreat so easily.
Helping the refugees required a lot of money. He was not willing to borrow money from the old man or his younger brother.
Chen Wenxuan smiled faintly.
"Our Xie Ling has always had the advantage in numbers. The primary goal is to eliminate countless small poisonous creatures.”
"No matter how poisonous a centipede is, it's still a centipede. It's not difficult to deal with a centipede!”
Chen Yulou's eyes narrowed as he looked enlightened.
"Fire, lime powder, dried chrysanthemum, sulfur powder, and chicken!”
