At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the cold light of the sword tip flickering in the air. Chen Qiyu's eyes revealed determination and decisiveness, and he swung his sword at the savages without the slightest hesitation.
As the sword flashed, the savages fell into a pool of blood. Their eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness, but they had no choice but to obey the king's orders. Chen Qiyu's movements were swift and decisive, and every swing of the sword took the life of a savage.
Seeing this, the beggar's face turned pale instantly. He originally thought that he could control these savages, but now it seems that he was wrong. He stepped back in panic, his eyes full of fear and pleading.
"Have mercy! Have mercy!" The beggar knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything for you!"
Chen Shuyin looked at the beggar coldly, her eyes revealing disdain and disgust. She slowly walked up to the beggar and whispered, "You are helping the tyrant, you have no right to live."
The beggar's body trembled violently when he heard this. He looked up at Chen Shuyin, his eyes full of pleading and regret: "I know I was wrong, please give me a chance to reform. As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to take you to find the precious Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass!"
Hearing this, Chen Shuyin's eyes flashed with surprise. She looked at the beggar deeply, as if judging his sincerity. Then, she slowly said, "Okay, you take us to find the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass. If you can provide valuable clues, we can spare your life."
The beggar was overjoyed when he heard this. He kowtowed repeatedly to thank Chen Shuyin for her forgiveness. Then he stood up impatiently and led everyone to the direction of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass.
Led by the beggar, they passed through dense forests and rugged mountain roads, carefully avoiding various dangers and traps along the way, and finally came to a hidden valley.
The valley is full of various exotic flowers and rare medicinal herbs, and the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass grows next to a huge rock in the center of the valley. Its leaves are emerald green, its flowers are gorgeous, and it exudes a faint fragrance.
The moment they saw the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass, everyone's eyes flashed with surprise and greed. But they did not rush to pick the herbs, but first looked around the surrounding environment and movements vigilantly.
After making sure there was no danger around, Chen Shuyin slowly walked towards the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass. She carefully picked the herbs and put them into her backpack. The beggar watched her movements nervously, fearing that she would regret killing him.
Chen Shuyin held the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass in her hand, and she felt relieved. She had finally found this legendary spiritual grass. She turned her eyes to the subdued beggar and was about to conduct the next interrogation when she suddenly heard the sound of dense arrows breaking through the air.
Zhou Jianghe reacted the fastest. He grabbed Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu and quickly retreated, swinging his sword to shoot down the arrows one by one. However, the rain of arrows was so dense that a few arrows still grazed their bodies and tore their clothes, but fortunately they did not cause too much damage.
"What's going on?" Chen Shuyin stared at the arrows flying around her with wide eyes, shocked. She grabbed the beggar's collar and asked angrily, "You actually have an ambush?"
The beggar was frightened out of his wits by her sudden action. He widened his eyes and shook his head innocently, saying, "No, haven't you killed almost all of my people? I don't know what's going on with those people outside."
"You don't know?" Chen Qiyu sneered, the long sword in his hand was already on the beggar's neck, "Nine Nether Mountain has always been a place where people can enter but not leave. Now this sudden rain of arrows, if it's not your people, who else could it be?"
The beggar was so frightened by the sword's contact with his skin that he trembled all over. He stammered, "I... I really don't know. Although I am familiar with Jiuyou Mountain, I don't know everything about it. Maybe... maybe there are other hidden forces in this mountain that we don't know about."
Chen Shuyin and Chen Qiyu looked at each other, and saw doubt and vigilance in each other's eyes. They knew that this was not the time to dwell on this issue, but more importantly, how to deal with this sudden attack.
"Let's find a place to hide from arrows first." Zhou Jianghe said loudly, waving his sword and protecting the two of them as they retreated to a cave nearby.
Seeing this, the beggar hurriedly shouted: "Wait, I know there is a path in this cave that leads to the other side of the mountain. Maybe we can escape from there."
Chen Shuyin stopped and looked at the beggar in confusion: "How do you know this path?"
The beggar swallowed his saliva and explained, "I have been wandering in the Jiuyou Mountains for many years, and I know every plant and tree here like the back of my hand. I discovered this path by accident, and I have never told anyone about it."
Chen Qiyu snorted coldly: "You'd better not lie to us, otherwise I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death."
The beggar nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would never dare to deceive them. So, under the guidance of the beggar, the three of them walked carefully along the path in the cave.
The light in the cave was dim, and only the worn-out oil lamp in the beggar's hand led the way. Zhou Jianghe and Chen Qiyu followed closely behind, while Chen Shuyin was responsible for the rear, vigilantly observing the situation around them.
"Are there any mechanisms or traps in this cave?" Chen Shuyin asked as she walked. She didn't want to encounter any more accidents on her way to escape.
The beggar shook his head and said, "I have walked through this cave many times. Apart from the fact that the path is difficult to walk on, I have not found any traps or traps."
The three walked for a while and saw a faint light ahead. The beggar said excitedly, "We are almost there. The exit is just ahead."
However, at this moment, something strange happened. Countless torches suddenly lit up in the originally dark cave, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Then, a hail of arrows attacked again, exactly the same as the previous attack.
"Another rain of arrows!" Zhou Jianghe roared, swinging his sword to block the flying arrows. "What on earth is going on? Have we been betrayed?"
Chen Shuyin's heart sank. She looked at the beggar: "What's going on? Didn't you say this road is safe?"
The beggar was so frightened that his face turned pale. He waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't know, I really don't know. I have never encountered such a situation when I walked this road before."
Chen Qiyu looked at the beggar with cold eyes: "If you dare to lie to us, I will make you die a miserable death."
The beggar was shaking all over and almost crying: "I really didn't lie to you. I don't know why this happened."
The rain of arrows was still dense, and the three had to fight back to back to avoid being hit by arrows. However, this was not a solution after all, and they had to find a way out as soon as possible.
