Not quite right.

Zhang Xueming planned to go down and take a look. It didn't make sense that the "poison" that only attacked living things at first would also start to eat the soil and rocks. It would only eat the soil and rocks and not other places, but only the mountain where it started.

Gong Yuanzheng didn't let her go. That kind of thing was extremely weird, and God knew whether it would be completely destroyed.

[I'll come back after taking a look, I promise.] Zhang Xueming tilted his head to act cute, sparing no effort.

It was rare for her to come across something that interested her, so if she gave up like this, she would always think about it when she returned. With her current martial arts skills, if she couldn't beat him, could she still run away?

Gong Yuanzheng was touched by this. He had no choice but to be so unprincipled in front of his sweetheart: [Then I'll go with you.]

He is very confident in his current attainments in Qinggong.

Zhang Xueming agreed after a brief pause: "You stay behind to provide support, and don't get close to the pit. If anything happens, you can still help me."

The two of them went down the mountain. Gong Yuanzheng took out the colorful rope from his backpack, tied one end around her waist, and wrapped the other end around his right palm a few times.

While he was letting out the rope, he nervously watched Zhang Xueming walk to the edge of the pit and look down.

Zhang Xueming said she only took a glance, and on the surface it really was just a glance, but in fact her spiritual sense had already opened up and sunk when Gong Yuanzheng tied the rope around her waist, and she quickly scanned the nearly 150-foot (50-meter) deep pit.

【Let’s go, let’s go back. 】

On the way back, Zhang Xueming told him: [That venom is probably really alive. It is said that it loses its effect after one hour of contact with air, but in fact, its life span is only one hour. Before it died, it shrank back to the origin and exploded, blowing the entire mountain into dust.]

It’s just like in the game, when the boss is only left with skin and blood, he can still launch a super group attack. It’s unreasonable and extremely dangerous.

Zhang Xueming wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was once again thankful that he had not used this thing to experiment before and achieve the goal of destroying both the enemy and us on the battlefield.

[The entrances to the secret passages leading to the outside world are distributed from the second to the fifth underground floors, a total of eighteen. The secret passages are still there, but the entrances are gone, and the guards in the secret passages are probably gone too.]

Gong Yuanzheng was still frightened, but he couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune: [The Jackdaw and the assassin who returned from the mission today can't enter the door. ]

[If they come back during the active period of that thing and happen to be outside the secret passage over there... no one would be so unlucky, haha.] Zhang Xueming also laughed.

……

The outskirts of the Wax Apple Mountains.

Somewhere beside a mountain wall, a green cloth carriage fell to the ground.

There were several bloody messes on the ground, one of which was covered with brown hair, and the other three were wrapped in black clothes.

There is no grass or trees around, only yellow soil and gray rocks.

A dead silence.

……

Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng discussed their speech and rehearsed it several times before returning to the Snow Palace before nightfall.

The ice lanterns they made together with the Snow Palace duo were all lit up, creating a brilliant scene of "suddenly seeing the bright light illuminating the late night".

What's not so good is that those who are eagerly waiting are not only Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi, but also Gong Shangjiao in a black robe with gold embroidery.

Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng were caught red-handed as soon as they came down from the snowy peak.

Gong Shangjiao did not look the happy parent who received his child's call. His face was gloomy, as if lightning, thunder and heavy rain would come at any time.

Xue Chongzi's pretty face was tense, as if the head teacher had just complained to the parents.

Young Master Xue stood one step behind Xue Chongzi and tried desperately to wink at Zhang Xueming.

Zhang Xueming quickly glanced at the three people's faces and thought to himself: [A Yuan, my crime has been exposed.]

[What?] Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Gong Yuanzheng slowed down his pace, [We didn't do anything we shouldn't have done in the past two days.]

[It's not you, it's me.] Before he got close, Zhang Xueming quickly explained the effect of the inhibitory drug, emphasizing: [It's like the drug postpones the time of vomiting blood, all the blood is accumulated together and vomited out at once. You know, the amount is a bit scary.]

Gong Yuanzheng looked at her warily: [How scary is it?]

Zhang Xueming was helpless: [Half a basin of blood at a time.]

Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's face turn from sunny to cloudy, she hurriedly defended herself: "I'm really fine. The blood was from over-supplementation, so it won't cause anemia. I used to vomit blood once every quarter of an hour, and you guys were so nervous, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid of scaring you."

Gong Yuanzheng thought about it. He checked Zhang Xueming's pulse four times a day, and the pulse showed that she was healthy. His face brightened up: [In the future, you can hide this kind of thing from anyone, but not from me.]

Feeling that his tone was too blunt, he explained: [I know so I can help you cover it up, otherwise what should we do if we encounter this situation again? The Snow Palace is not our territory, and we can't fool you even if we want to. ]

Zhang Xueming felt guilty and agreed obediently.

Gong Yuanzheng raised his lips in satisfaction: [Okay, don't be afraid, we'll use that trick.]

He held Zhang Xueming's hand tightly, walked to Gong Shangjiao, tilted his head and put on an innocent face: "Brother, we are hungry."

As the saying goes, "Thunder even strikes a person who is eating."

Gong Shangjiao looked at them sinisterly, his gaze lingering on Zhang Xueming for a few seconds before he said, "The hot water is in the room. Go take a shower first and then come over to eat."

The food he had sent to the Snow Palace was being heated on the stove, so he could eat it whenever he wanted.

After a lot of grinding, by the time Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng put down their jobs, the anger he had accumulated throughout the day had been worn down to almost nothing.

Gong Shangjiao was in no hurry to ask what they had gained from this trip, and said calmly, "This morning, Xue Zhongzi accidentally discovered a pit in a forest in the Snow Palace. The soil inside was soaked with blood."

"I know about this." Gong Yuanzheng quickly told him about the inhibitory drugs, and then said, "We didn't tell him because we were afraid of scaring our brother."

I knew it would be like this. I can't keep my brother alive. Gong Shangjiao sighed, "After vomiting so much blood at once, is Zhao Zhao really okay?"

Gong Yuanzheng assured earnestly: "I checked her pulse several times a day, and there is indeed nothing wrong with her."

It was obvious at first glance that the younger siblings had a little secret. The older brother felt very sad, but he concealed it well so that no one could see it: "Just be sensible. I believe in you."

Xue Zhongzi stared at Gong Shangjiao with eyes wide open in disbelief: No, you said you would teach your younger brother and sister a lesson? Not even a harsh word. What about the shock they had this morning?

Gong Shangjiao ruthlessly abandoned his allies, softened his expression, and began to ask about their trip: "How was it, did you have fun today?"

The look of an old father doting on his child left Xue Chongzi dumbfounded.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Master Xue came over and said, "Yes, yes, Yuanzheng, how many mountains did you climb today? What did you do?"

Gong Yuanzheng was cheered up and described in vivid detail the scenery they saw on the top of the snow-capped mountain, the glaciers and canyons they passed by, and the free falls and swooping flights they played.

Zhang Xueming occasionally added a few words and proposed a few new ways to play. They would try them out after Shang Gong and Hua Gong delivered the equipment she had ordered.

No one knew how many peaks there were in the Snow Mountain Group, and no one expected them to find Wufeng's nest in one day.

Everyone drank snow lotus tea peacefully and listened to their travel stories with relish. Unexpectedly, Gong Yuanzheng suddenly said, "Brother, I'm sorry, we got into trouble today."
