"Humans have desires, and when those in power lose control of their desires, those at the bottom become their victims."
Qiu Meizi sighed and reluctantly told the truth.
Lin Yunhai couldn't refute these words because he knew that what Qiu Meizi said was true.
This is why people are willing to risk their lives to climb up the ladder.
Only when you become the holder of power can you live the life you want at will.
"That's about it, let's go take a look."
The insects had stopped moving, so the two climbed down the tree and carefully walked towards the direction of the poisonous insects.
The ground was littered with the corpses of poisonous insects, numbering in the thousands, so densely packed that it triggered trypophobia in anyone who saw them.
Lin Yunhai wondered if Qiu Meizi had gone too far this time, killing all the poisonous insects in the entire mountain forest.
"Don't worry, these poisonous insects are only within a few kilometers. The smell of the powder won't spread too far. I've controlled the amount."
Qiu Meizi guessed Lin Yunhai's thoughts and took the initiative to explain.
She wasn't so ruthless as to kill all the poisonous insects in the entire mountain forest with a single move.
Everything has its reason for existence. The existence of those poisonous insects is not necessarily bad. If she kills them all, it will disrupt the ecological balance and may cause other problems.
"The Gu technique is quite terrifying."
Qiu Meizi had only learned the basics, yet she had already astonished him.
Wouldn't the senior that Qiu Meizi mentioned be even more terrifying?
"I agree with that, but as my senior said, many things are inherently bad, but as long as the person using them has good intentions, then they are good."
"The quality of a weapon depends on the person who uses it, not on the weapon itself."
"You senior, you really know a lot of profound principles."
Qiu Meizi was busy checking the remaining poisonous insects, so she didn't notice the sour tone in Lin Yunhai's voice.
"It's done. This scorpion has survived and can be used."
In the very center lay a dying scorpion, the vessel for Qiu Meizi's Gu magic. With it, their plan could be carried out.
"This little thing is quite resilient."
Although the scorpion survived, it was covered in wounds, with bite marks and signs of poisoning all over its body.
However, none of this was a problem for Qiu Meizi. After she took out the powder and sprinkled it on the scorpion, the scorpion, which was on the verge of death, became lively and energetic again.
After putting the scorpion in the small bottle, Qiu Meizi sealed the bottle and said with satisfaction, "We can go back now."
Before they knew it, the two had been out for four or five hours, and it was almost dark outside.
The two wasted no time and headed straight down the mountain.
It was already dark before we even reached the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, the two were well-prepared and took out flashlights for illumination.
Their car was parked at the foot of the mountain, and as soon as they got back in, they could get back as quickly as possible.
"The car is just ahead, we've finally arrived. I'm going to have a big meal when we get back, I'm so hungry."
Having been out for so long, Qiu Meizi felt her stomach growling with hunger.
If she had known it would take so long, she should have brought some food with her.
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when we get back, the best food I can find."
Lin Yunhai looked at her with doting eyes and held her hand without letting go.
After the two emerged from the side road, they saw their car not far away.
Both of them wore excited smiles.
"wrong."
Suddenly, Lin Yunhai stopped and pulled Qiu Meizi to squat behind some bushes, not continuing forward.
Qiu Meizi was startled by the sudden turn of events and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
“Something’s not right. I feel threatened.”
Lin Yunhai looked ahead with a serious expression.
He didn't see anything; he simply felt there was danger ahead and he couldn't go any further.
Upon hearing that there was danger, Qiu Meizi's eyes sharpened instantly, and she pulled out a gun.
Since Cong Yunnan returned, she has kept a gun with her at all times, just in case she is helpless in the event of danger.
They hid for a while, but there was no movement from ahead.
"How about we go back in another direction?"
Lin Yunhai shook his head and said, "Without a car, it will be difficult for us to walk back."
"Let's go a little further and lure those people out."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and pulled Qiu Meizi along as they continued walking forward.
He wanted to see who was trying to get back at him.
As he got closer and closer to the car, and nothing happened, Lin Yunhai began to doubt whether he had misperceived the situation.
Could it be that I was too stressed and therefore misperceiving things?
"careful!"
Suddenly, he heard a gunshot. Without thinking, he turned around, grabbed Qiu Meizi, and rolled on the spot.
They rolled toward the car, using it as cover.
After the first shot rang out, all those hiding in the shadows went into action. As soon as they made the slightest move, countless bullets were fired at them.
The two were forced to hide on the side of the car, too afraid to move.
"With such heavy firepower, whose people are they?"
Lin Yunhai thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's possible that something happened to Xu Bao."
In Qinghe County, he couldn't think of anyone other than Jin Shao who possessed such formidable firepower.
Logically speaking, since Young Master Jin is in their hands, his men shouldn't dare to act rashly. The fact that they dare to come and kill them means either Young Master Jin is dead or he has gone back.
Regardless of which theory is being developed, Xu Bao's situation is becoming extremely dangerous.
"No, we can't linger here too long. We need to go back and check on Xu Bao's condition."
Lin Yunhai was very worried about Xu Bao's safety and wanted to confirm Xu Bao's safety immediately.
"Don't be impulsive. We need to think of a way. If we rush out like this, we'll definitely die."
Fearing that Lin Yunhai might act impulsively, Qiu Meizi held his hand tightly.
After forcing himself to calm down, Lin Yunhai said, "You draw their fire from here, and I'll go to the other side to fight back."
After saying that, he crawled under the car and then climbed out from the other side.
As soon as he appeared, bullets were fired at him.
He dared not get up and could only roll on the ground to dodge the bullets.
The bullets hit the ground and the gravel, but they didn't hit him.
However, his face was still scratched by many small cuts from the shattered stone fragments.
On the other side, Qiu Meizi was worried about her, so she found a spot to fire her gun to draw attention to herself.
It was too dark to see where the enemy was, so Qiu Meizi could only fire randomly.
However, with her attraction, the pressure on Lin Yunhai's side was indeed reduced considerably, allowing him to hide in the bushes.
