I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 32: Tracking in the Mist: The Diviner's Guidance

The moment Zhaoyang Ruyue stepped into the fog, it was as if she had fallen into milk. It was all white and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.

"High-energy warning ahead, let's huddle together for warmth!" she shouted, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

The surroundings were silent, with only Tang the fortune teller muttering in a mysterious voice: "I knew it was a spooky place..."

"Fortune teller, can you say something nice?" Chen Yong's voice came from the fog, with a slight tremor, and it was not known whether it was because of the cold or fear.

"There is heavy fog ahead, be careful of wild beasts!" The fortune teller remained unmoved and continued his jinxed behavior.

Zhaoyang Ruyue felt someone grabbing her hand, it was slightly cold, it was Ruyue.

"Don't be afraid," Zhaoyang Ruyue held Ruyue's hand and gave her strength, "Follow me." They moved forward cautiously, and every step felt like walking on the edge of a knife.

Suddenly, several low roars came from the depths of the fog, and then several black shadows rushed out like lightning and rushed towards them!

"Oh my god! What the hell?" Chen Yong shouted, drew his weapon and rushed forward.

Guard Song followed closely behind, and the two of them fought with the black shadow.

With the dim light, Zhaoyang Ruyue saw clearly that the ones attacking them were actually several wolf-like beasts. They were huge, with sharp fangs, and their green eyes flashed fiercely in the mist, just like several three-headed dogs of hell.

"Protect yourself!" Guard Song shouted while resisting the beast's attack.

The beast's attack was extremely ferocious, and Guard Song and Chen Yong gradually became unable to withstand it.

A wild beast bypassed Chen Yong and rushed straight towards Zhaoyang Ruyue!

"Ah——" Ruyue screamed.

At the critical moment, a figure blocked Zhaoyang Ruyue's way... "Ruyue! Be careful!"

Wumeng Tianlong stood in front of Zhaoyang Ruyue, and a dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing the beast fiercely.

The beast howled in pain, but pounced on the Wumeng Tianlong even more ferociously.

"Oh my god, this thing is cheating!" Wumeng Tianlong complained while dodging.

At this critical moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Wait! I think I know how to deal with them!" He took out a tinder from his backpack and quickly lit a torch.

When the fire flashed, the ferocious beasts retreated as if they had seen a ghost, making low whimpering sounds.

"Hahaha, so you are afraid of fire! Why didn't you say it earlier? I wasted my expression!" Wumeng Tianlong laughed triumphantly, waving the torch to drive the beasts further away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Dancer Wei hurried to Chen Yong's side and checked his wounds with concern.

"Are you okay? It's all my fault for having to come along..." Chen Yong grinned and patted his chest nonchalantly, "It's okay, just a minor injury, just a little water! Do I look like a delicate little girl to you?"

"No, you look like a fool." Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't help but complain.

Everyone packed up and prepared to move on.

At this moment, Fortune Teller Tang suddenly stopped, staring straight ahead, muttering to himself, "Something's wrong, something's wrong... There's something strange here..."

"What's wrong?" Wu Meng Tianlong rolled his eyes. "Master, could you please stop getting so startled? My little heart can't take it!"

Diviner Tang ignored his complaints and pointed his finger towards the depths of the fog ahead: "There... something seems to be calling me..." As he spoke, he involuntarily walked towards the depths of the fog...

The mist was lingering like a huge ball, covering everything around it.

Baona and her group moved forward cautiously. The light of the torches seemed extremely dim in the thick fog, as if it would be swallowed up at any time.

"Master, what have you figured out? Tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but urge him. The atmosphere made him feel a little creepy.

Tang the Diviner circled around them several times, muttering to himself, "How marvelous... a noble person has arrived, a purple aura is coming from the east... you are burdened with a heavy responsibility, shouldering the fate of the world..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Wumeng Tianlong interrupted him quickly, "Speak human language! What noble person, what purple aura? We are just a group of archaeologists. Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Diviner Tang shook his head, an unfathomable expression on his face. "No, no. I see you are of noble bearing, no ordinary people. You have a special... aura of mission!"

"The aura of a mission?" Zhaoyang Ruyue raised an eyebrow. "Master, the mission you're talking about, could it be related to the Queen of Ancient Dian?"

Diviner Tang stroked his beard, his eyes flickering. "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. I can only tell you that there is a mysterious valley in the southwest, which may be related to the person you are looking for..."

"Valley?" Zhaoyang Ruyue was delighted. This was the most clear clue they had heard!

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

"Tsk, so mysterious, I don't know if it's accurate." Wumeng Tianlong muttered softly, but a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Diviner Tang seemed to have heard his muttering and smiled mysteriously: "Believe it or not, but this is all I have to say. The road to the valley is dangerous, so you'd better take care of yourselves." After that, he turned around and disappeared into the fog, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"The valley in the southwest..." Baona muttered to herself, with a determined light in her eyes.

"let's go!"

The group moved forward in the direction indicated by Tang the fortune teller. The fog gradually dissipated, and a rugged mountain road appeared in front of them.

"Wait!" Guard Song suddenly raised his hand and stopped everyone. "This road..." He pointed ahead with a serious expression. "Something seems amiss..."

As soon as Guard Song finished speaking, everyone saw that the mountain road ahead was densely packed with bones of various animals, including those of wild beasts, birds, and even some... difficult to identify bones. Against the backdrop of the gloomy woods, they looked particularly strange.

"Fuck! What's going on? Are they filming a horror movie?" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.

Zhaoyang Ruyue calmly observed her surroundings. "The way these bones are placed is very strange. It seems like some kind of sacrificial ritual..."

"Sacrifice?" Baona's heart tightened. Is there some unknown secret here?

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the depths of the woods, and then a group of burly men holding spears and wearing animal skins walked out of the woods and surrounded them.

The leader, a man with a face full of flesh, stared at them fiercely, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into our sacred land!"

Chief Han looked up and down at this group of strangely dressed outsiders, his eyes full of vigilance.

In his opinion, these people were most likely spies sent by other tribes.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" The Qin envoy hurried forward to explain, "We are just passing through here and have no ill intentions."

"Just passing by?" Chief Han sneered. "Why would you appear in our holy land? I see you have ulterior motives!"

"We really just..." The Qin envoy wanted to explain, but was rudely interrupted by the Han leader.

"Stop talking nonsense! Come on, arrest them!"

"Wait!" Baona suddenly stood up. She knew that if she was caught by these people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We have no ill intentions, we just want to..."

However, before she could finish her words, Chief Han waved his hand impatiently: "Do it!"

Guard Song and others immediately drew their weapons and prepared to fight.

"Wait a minute!" An old voice came from deep in the woods.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in strange clothes slowly walking out.

"Fortune Teller Tang?" Baona recognized the person at a glance. It was the mysterious old man who had guided them in the fog before.

When Chief Han saw the newcomer, his expression changed slightly, and his tone became respectful: "Master Tang, why are you here?"

Diviner Tang ignored Chief Han and walked straight to Baona, giving her a meaningful look: "It seems that you are in trouble..."

Baona's heart sank. It seemed that this journey was more complicated than she had imagined...

Tang the fortune teller turned to Chief Han and said, "These people have a connection with my Pu tribe and must not be neglected."

Although Chief Han was confused, he did not dare to disobey the order of the fortune teller Tang, so he waved his hand and signaled his men to retreat.

"Follow me." After saying this, Tang the fortune teller turned and walked into the depths of the woods.

Baona and others hurried to follow.

Chief Han watched them leave, a complicated look flashing in his eyes. He then turned to a lean man beside him and said, "Go, send someone to follow them and see what they're up to..."

The man took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the woods.

Baona and others followed the fortune teller Tang through the dense woods and came to the entrance of a hidden valley.

"Go in." Tang the fortune teller pointed at the valley entrance and said, "Your destiny lies within..."

Baona took a deep breath and led everyone into the valley.

The valley was pitch black, and a chilling air blew over me...

"Wait..." Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly stopped, an ominous premonition coming to her heart...
