Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 267: Lei Family Camp
The colorless alchemy energy kept pushing forward, causing ripples in the air, and the moment it touched the poisonous person, it made him become limp and lose his strength.

The poisonous people on the slopes and pits fell to the ground one after another. When they were about to fall, they were still struggling and twitching. After a few breaths, they became completely stiff and motionless.

Now that the poisoned people were dead, everyone shifted their attention and continued to move forward.

Through an exit passage in the stone wall, they descended to the seventh cave.

There are many new and strange plants here, but none of them are dangerous. Without stopping, the crowd passed through a long and narrow passage and finally entered the eighth cave where the Lei family camp was located.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

On one side of the huge cave, there is a high-altitude platform that occupies almost one-third of the space.

There are dozens of tents on the high-altitude platform, with the living area and working area separated in an orderly manner, which can be distinguished from the supplies placed on the surface.

Although the utensils, tables and chairs have been put in order and neatly arranged, it is obvious that they have not been used for a long time, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the surface.

It was before the war, after the Lei family withdrew, no one has come in since then.

Opposite the high-altitude platform, there is a uniform light waterfall at the side. The water volume is moderate, so it is not dazzling. Instead, it provides sufficient light for the Lei family camp.

There are also some slopes or deep holes on the opposite cliff, on which are planted the meteorite plants studied by the Lei family.

The pleasant sound of the waterfall constantly pours into my ears, as smooth as silk, bringing vitality to this place and eliminating the dull and uneasy feeling brought by the emptiness and loneliness.

Accompanied by the sound of water, everyone walked along the wooden path outside the passage and reached the high-altitude platform.

Everyone was still looking around and observing the surrounding environment.

Lei Xirui pointed to a stone cave with an iron door at the far end and said, "Lei Laiweng's medicine storage room is in that stone cave, but he installed an iron door and we don't have the key."

Pei Nai was still watching when she heard Lei Xirui calling her.

"General Pei, could you please help us break down the door?" Lei Xirui lowered her voice and asked for help.

Pei Nai didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it was just a simple thing for her now.

She walked forward and was about to pull out the Zhubei gun from her back, but was stopped by Han Ruize and Da Xian beside her at the same time.

Pei Nai followed Han Ruize's hand and looked at him, only to see Han Ruize glance at her disapprovingly.

This means not to let her take action.

Da Xian, who was standing by, refuted Lei Xirui and said, "Are you sure there is no trap behind it?"

"Sorry, we can't be sure." Lei Xirui hesitated, "But"

She was about to say that even if there was a mechanism, it would not pose a threat to General Pei, but they protected Pei Na so closely that she really didn't dare to say it out loud.

Gu Jinheng was standing two steps in front of Pei Nai's right side and said to the silver-armored guard, "Go open the door."

The two silver-armored guards nodded, prepared their tools, and then used their light Kung Fu to jump up and down the steps on the stone wall and arrived near the iron gate.

They were dismantling the inner lock of the iron door, and judging from their movements, it was obviously complicated and tricky.

After a while, several dull mechanical sounds were heard from inside the iron gate, and the gate was opened by two silver-armored guards.

They cautiously opened the door.

Because of Daxian and Han Ruize's reactions just now, Pei Nai subconsciously felt that two tentacles and vines would suddenly extend from inside and pull the Silver Armored Guards in.

Two silver-armored guards stepped into the cave.

Pei Nai shuddered.

Gu Jinheng and Da Xian turned to look at her at the same time, observing her condition. It was Da Xian who frowned and asked first: "Are you cold? Or..."

Han Ruize glanced at her, then continued walking forward to see what the Silver Armored Guards were doing. He only said, "She just scared herself."

Seeing that Pei Nai did not deny it, Gu Jinheng and Da Xian's expressions immediately recovered a little.

Pei Nai smiled awkwardly, then pretended to be serious and said to Da Xian: "It was you who just scared me, saying there was a trap inside."

Before Daxian could respond, he saw Pei Nai looking behind him and his face suddenly changed.

“What is that?!” Pei Nai’s eyes widened, his pupils trembling, and he stepped back warily.

Da Xian was startled and turned his head subconsciously. Even the guards around him drew their swords.

But there was nothing on the edge of the cliff and there was no danger.

Da Xi'an turned around in confusion, only to see Pei Nai running towards the medicine storage room. Was he fooled?!
Gu Jinheng laughed beside him, as if he was helpless against Pei Nai, and then followed with big strides.

Daxian felt deflated and angrily poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue.

Gongyang Zisheng patted Da Xi'an on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Only General Pei can cure you."

"It's over. There's nothing we can do." Daxian shrugged.

On the stone wall, two silver-armored guards checked the situation in the cave and came out to report, "It's safe."

Lei Xirui and her two companions also jumped up using Qinggong.

Pei Nai and the others followed closely behind.

A circle of grooves was dug in the floor of the cave, filled with light-distributing water to provide indoor lighting.

The Silver-Armored Guards also lit the candles inside at the same time. The dim light blended with the clear white light of the uniform light water, which was enough for people to see the scene in the medicine storage room clearly.

The space inside the cave is not large. There are many shelves placed against the walls around it, and all kinds of bottles and jars are crowded together, densely packed.

Wooden signs were hung along the edge of the rack, indicating the types of herbs and poisonous water on each level.

Pei Nai frowned and stared at the nearby wooden sign for a long time, but he didn't understand it.

Maybe the writing style of Lei Laiweng is rather special and Senior Zhong hasn’t learned it?
Pei Nai convinced himself.

But when she turned around, she saw Gu Jinheng casually took a porcelain bottle from the shelf, opened it and sniffed it gently.

Pei Nai was startled, "Aren't you afraid that the poison gas will spread if you just pick up the bottle casually?"

He is indestructible, but everyone will be poisoned!

Gu Jinheng turned his head to look at her, then pushed the lid back on. As he put the porcelain bottle back on the shelf, he tapped the nearest wooden sign with his fingertips.

"An extract from a mild medicinal plant." he translated.

Pei Nai was bewildered, "You even know such an obscure language?!"

Daxian behind him chuckled.

Gu Jinheng scratched Pei Nai's nose with his finger and explained, "This is Qilu's calligraphy, but it's written a little sloppily."

"Ah? Is this the word Qilu?!" Pei Nai picked up the wooden sign and looked at it carefully, unbelieving.

Da Xi'an comforted her: "It is indeed written ugly, it is not our fault that Mingzhi can't recognize it."

At this moment, Lei Xirui suddenly shouted, "Found it! It's the antidote made from the parasitic mycelium of the Piranha Plant!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw her standing in front of a shelf on the inside, holding a small, narrow-mouthed, thin-necked copper bottle in her hand.

Everyone gathered around her, and she handed the copper bottle in her palm to Gu Jinheng.

Gu Jinheng unscrewed the cork, checked it, and confirmed, "Sufficient amount."

"The quantity is even larger than I expected!" Lei Xirui said with delight on her face.

Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng, his eyes sparkling, "Is Senior Qu saved?"

"Yeah." Regarding the matter of Senior Qu, Gu Jinheng gave her a definite answer for the first time.

Da Xi'an was incredulous: "So smooth? No way?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Pei Nai turned around and said anxiously.

Daxian raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and smiled.

The curve of his mouth was extremely beautiful, even brighter than the setting moon from the Milky Way that penetrated through the cracks in the darkness, so dazzling and bright that it made Pei Nai's heart tremble.

Pei Nai's sleeve was pulled down by Gu Jinheng.

She turned back in panic and met Gu Jinheng's inquiring gaze again.

Pei Nai suddenly felt like a guilty thief.

She blinked innocently at Gu Jinheng's handsome face, trying to ease the embarrassment.

Gu Jinheng's eyes darkened.
