The Secret of the Goddess

Chapter 44 Scented Bags on the Mountain Road

The sky gradually darkened.

"Drinking Horse Lake is just ahead."

Xue Yi saw a lake in front of him, lying quietly between several mountains, like a natural reservoir.

Eastern Expedition to the Wilderness, the garrison drank horses.

This was the name given to this place when the Divine Dynasty defined the border.

There are cliffs all around, which is difficult to climb.

It is said that the bandits live on the top of these mountains. With the superb skills of the cultivators, they can go up and down the mountain. Even if the security soldiers in the township know where the mountain stronghold is, they can't deal with it.

"There are some houses on the mountain over there, which should be the residence of the bandits."

Yan Chengxue was sharp-eyed. Taking advantage of the last bit of light before nightfall, he saw the shadow of a house on the distant mountain.

"There is no way to go to this mountain stronghold..."

Xue Yi looked at Xiao Qingruo.

With his own and Yan Chengxue's skills, climbing the dangerous peaks is naturally no problem. But Xiao Qingruo, a rookie, even if she has the ability to create illusions, can't change the fact that she has no strength, and she probably can't go up.

Xiao Qingruo also realized this, but she was not panicked at all.

"Miss Yan, you will go up the mountain alone to deal with the gang of bandits later, and I will intercept them at the bottom of the mountain to prevent the remnants from escaping." She said lightly, and she would never admit that she decided to stay at the bottom of the mountain because she couldn't climb up.

Yan Chengxue didn't doubt it, and nodded: "Okay, just a group of cave heaven realms, easy to catch. Let's go!"

Both of them ignored Xue Yi's fighting ability, as if they didn't take him seriously.

The three got off the horse, tied the horses, and walked along the lake to the bandit's lair.

This section of the road is not long, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark, and it was almost pitch black.

Yan Chengxue and Xue Yi both have cultivation, and they can see some outlines at night, but Xiao Qingruo is not good at anything, and her steps are getting smaller and smaller, for fear of falling.

Fortunately, nothing happened and the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly.

Xue Yi looked at the steep slope next to him and found traces of climbing more than once. He said, "This steep slope should be where the bandits usually go up and down the mountain. Miss Yan, be careful of ambushes on the road."

Yan Chengxue said confidently, "I am a master, I am not afraid of any ambush. You wait for my good news here. I will definitely make a million taels of silver!"

Then he held the sword in his hand and leaped. His figure was more agile than a monkey. He quickly went up the mountain and disappeared from Xue Yi's sight.

Xiao Qingruo couldn't see anything at this moment. As Yan Chengxue's voice faded away, she whispered to Xue Yi: "We don't know the details of the bandits yet. We acted a little hastily. She won't be in danger, right?"

Xue Yi looked at her in confusion: "Miss, didn't you agree to act overnight? Why are you worried now?"

Xiao Qingruo said: "She proposed it first. As a strong man, I don't need to look back and forth, so I naturally agreed."

"Uh..."

Xue Yi was speechless. It turned out that she agreed to act directly without stopping in order to maintain her personality.

"Why don't we go up the mountain to have a look?" he suggested.

Xiao Qingruo whispered: "I... can't climb up, and I can't see."

"I'll carry you up the mountain. If the bandits are killed, we'll stay in the mountain village at night. It should be easier to go down the mountain tomorrow morning." Xue Yi said.

Xiao Qingruo thought about it and nodded slightly: "Okay, but I have to think of a reason to get Miss Yan out tomorrow morning. I can't let her see me in such a mess when I go down the mountain."

"I understand! My eldest lady, come up." Xue Yi smiled and half squatted down.

Xiao Qingruo didn't flirt with him. Anyway, they had done more intimate things before. She climbed on his back openly and let him carry her.

The eldest lady's body was very light, not much heavier than the Dragon Slaying Sword. A fragrance came, accompanied by a soft touch. Fortunately, Xue Yi was a man who had seen the world and was not excited by it.

"Hold on tight, don't fall down and break into a meat paste." Xue Yi reminded.

"Well." Xiao Qingruo's arms wrapped around his neck from behind, steadily.

"Let's go."

Xue Yi said no more, exerted force on his feet, and his true energy gushed out. He jumped six or seven meters, climbed to the middle of the mountain in a few steps, and climbed the steep mountain with his hands and feet.

Xiao Qingruo was a little uncomfortable with such a huge movement, and she held him tightly and dared not let go.

This place was not originally a road, and the masters of the Cave Heaven Realm forced their way out, which was extremely difficult to move forward.

After climbing more than a hundred meters, he looked up and could already see the mountain village, which was very close.

At this time, Xue Yi saw a small brocade bag hanging on the stone wall in front of him.

It was dark at night, and it was a little unclear. The brocade bag was hung by a branch, just on the only way up the mountain.

Both sides were cliffs that went straight up and down for more than 30 meters, and there was no other way to go. Looking at the hanging brocade bag, it seemed that someone had accidentally left it.

"Is it something that Miss Yan dropped?" Xue Yi was puzzled.

Xiao Qingruo couldn't see it at night, so he asked, "What is it?"

"A brocade bag... probably a purse." Xue Yi said.

But after getting closer, he found that he guessed wrong. This was not a purse, but a sachet. A fragrance floated into his nose, like the fragrance of hundreds of herbs and flowers, very good.

"What a nice smell, what's that? Is that the scent bag that Miss Yan dropped?" Xiao Qingruo also smelled the scent and guessed.

"Something's wrong!"

Xue Yi frowned, didn't touch the thing, and quickly quickened his pace to leave.

After passing the direction of the brocade bag, he said: "Miss Yan doesn't smell like this. It's probably a scent trap set by the bandits."

"How do you know what she smells like? Wait...trap? Fragrance?"

Xiao Qingruo felt strange at first, but then she realized a possibility!

The kind that happened to her not long ago!

"Xue Yi, I...I feel a little hot."

Thinking of this possibility, she suddenly felt a little hot in her body, which was very similar to the last time she was tricked by Xue Yi.

Xue Yi didn't react. After careful sensing, there was no sign of poisoning in his body. He was very healthy.

He patted the eldest lady's butt and said: "Don't think about it, it's just a psychological effect. The mountain village is ahead, let's approach slowly."

"Is it a psychological effect?" Xiao Qingruo didn't comment.

She warned herself in her heart not to think too much, she was not poisoned.

Xue Yi carried her on his back and continued to move forward. The surrounding mountain walls were no longer steep, and they were almost at the top of the mountain.

Several houses not far away were lit up, and there was a small building that looked like a sentry tower in front.

However, there was no one in the sentry tower at this time.

... The person fell to the ground and lay motionless, with his head and body separated.

As the mountain wind blew, a smell of blood came. It was obvious that Yan Chengxue, who had gone up the mountain earlier, had already rushed in.

"What a fast efficiency, it's so quiet inside, is the fight over?" Xue Yi was secretly surprised.

"What did you see?" Xiao Qingruo asked him.

When she spoke, her breath was slightly hot.

Xue Yi replied: "The mountain bandit guarding the door has been killed, inside..."

Halfway through the words, a faint sound of fighting suddenly came from inside.

Then, a difficult voice came: "No... Impossible, my Dragon Demon Fierce Woman Incense can't fail..."

"What incense? What are you talking about?" Yan Chengxue's voice also sounded, with a bit of confusion.

"I..."

The voice didn't say anything, and it seemed to be dead.

"Oh no..."

After hearing these two lines of dialogue, Xue Yi finally realized the problem.

The scented bag on the cliff was indeed a trap dug by the mountain bandits. Dragon Demon Fierce Woman Incense and the like, you can tell at a glance that it is not a real poison!
