Chapter 454: You want me to go into the cave with you just for a piece of barbecue?
Because of his powerful soul, Zhao Mu's five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people.
Although the cave was still the same cave, he only took a few steps deeper and noticed that the originally dry air had a little more moisture. It was the evaporating water vapor, and it even had a faint fragrance, which was not obvious but noticeable.
When he came to the depths of the cave and saw Ji Qingyue again, her condition was not much better than before he left, but the clothes covered with blood and dirt had disappeared, replaced by an elegant light green narrow-sleeved waisted Luo skirt. Although the style was simple, it looked very good.
Ji Qingyue has taken off her disguise, revealing her true face, and has obviously tidied herself up. Her originally messy and sloppy image has been transformed into a dignified and capable young lady.
The fragrant water vapor that had not yet dissipated in the air was obviously the trace left by Ji Qingyue after her bath.
This made Zhao Mu sigh, women just love cleanliness and beauty.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't be so anxious to shower and clean himself. He would at least wait until his injuries stabilized and he could move freely before doing so.
Although his face was pale and lifeless due to the serious injury.
But one has to admit that Ji Qingyue is really beautiful, especially her heterochromic eyes, which add a bit of charm to her, making Zhao Mu have the illusion that she is almost on the same level as a wealthy woman.
However, he only glanced at her twice before looking away, slowly approaching and sitting down opposite her.
"How's the injury?"
"It will take at least three months to recover."
Ji Qingyue's expression was solemn. This time, she had truly injured her essence, and it was definitely not an ordinary injury. "What's the situation outside?"
"People are searching everywhere, and many boats at the dock are out trying to salvage your 'body.' I'm afraid they won't stop until they find your body."
Zhao Mu did not hide anything and explained the situation directly and clearly, "There are people guarding all the docks on the entire Chixia Island. The possibility of us leaving by boat is very small.
In short, we are trapped on Chixia Island."
After hearing this, Ji Qingyue fell silent. The situation was more serious than she had imagined. In fact, this might just be the beginning.
Because, before the shipwreck, she exposed the eighth-grade Bihe Pearl in order to save her life. The people of the Qin family would definitely be able to guess her true identity from this. As for other people, the Qin family might not care too much, since they were just a great perfection in the Kongming Realm.
But she is different.
I'm afraid that masters from the Four Extremes Realm and even the Yin-Yang Realm will be dispatched to search.
The Qin family will never give up until her body is found.
"Why on earth did the Qin family of Tianxin Island want to kill you?"
Ji Qingyue's reaction made Zhao Mu solemn. He realized that the former also had no way to leave.
"Because I discovered a secret that could lead to the annihilation of the Qin family..."
After listening to Ji Qingyue's words, Zhao Mu realized that the former had come here to accept a mission from the family. The content of the mission was to investigate whether the Qin family of Tianxin Island had colluded with the magic sect, because not long ago, the Ji family received a report from others that someone in the Qin family of Tianxin Island had dealings with the Heart-Devouring Valley, a first-class magic force.
Originally, this was not a big deal. It was not uncommon for people with lower talent in the righteous path to want to advance quickly and turn to the evil path.
Ji Qingyue also took on this task.
But after careful investigation, they found that the matter was far more serious than expected.
Some of the top leaders of the Qin family are colluding with the evil ways, even... the entire Qin family.
The cause of all this is... a new branch was discovered deep in a mine on Tianxin Island. The magic crystals produced there are of extremely high quality. Magic crystals are naturally worthless in the righteous way, but for those who practice magic, the effect of magic crystals in assisting cultivation is several times or even dozens of times that of spirit stones of the same level, and their value is definitely very high.
The Qin family became entangled with the Heart-Eating Valley because of the trade of magic crystals.
More than ten years have passed since the discovery of the mineral vein. God knows how deep the entanglement between the Qin family and the Heart-Eating Valley is, and how many people in the Qin family have fallen into the evil path.
"I see."
Zhao Mu shook his head helplessly. This was another incident caused by the incompatibility between good and evil.
Magic crystal ore, this is a very precious existence in the magic world. No wonder the Qin family could not resist the temptation and contact the magic world. After all, this is a fortune from heaven. If you take a chance, a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle.
But now the truth has been revealed.
"Just continue healing first."
Zhao Mu waved his hand and stood up. There was nothing they could do at the moment, and the important thing was to let Ji Qingyue heal her wounds.
We'll think about getting out of this later.
Although he has a very clever disguise method that can deceive the Qin family, Ji Qingyue cannot do that. He can pass the disguise secret method to her, but her injuries are too serious, and she may not even have the ability to activate the secret method.
Everything will have to wait until Ji Qingyue finishes recovering.
As for sending a message for help, it is obviously not feasible. Once Ji Qingyue's identity is exposed, the Qin family will definitely have masters in the Four Extremes Realm, the Yin-Yang Realm, or even the Life and Death Realm who will pay attention to this matter.
The area around Chixia Island must have been under surveillance. Once a message is sent, there is a 99% chance that it will be intercepted, which will allow them to trace the cause and find the person.
In the words of my previous life, it means: I will hit you through the Internet cable.
Rubbing his forehead, Zhao Mu leaned against the cold stone, inexplicably missing the rich woman. If she were there, the night wouldn't be so cold and the pillow wouldn't be so hard.
It’s good that the little rich lady and the silly senior sister are here, it’s soft and fragrant.
Forget about the heroine. They are like red fire and cold ice. It is impossible for them to have a good rest at night. They will definitely fight until dawn.
and many more.....
"I was so stupid."
Zhao Mu suddenly laughed to himself, slapped his forehead, and quietly left the cave. After entering the outside, he coughed softly, "Xiao Lingxi, come out."
No movement?
"not here?"
Zhao Mu murmured to himself, feeling a little strange. Suddenly he thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then he swaggered and lit a bonfire and started grilling meat. He was grilling the meat of a seventh-level green spirit python, and the aroma was surprisingly good.
What?
You said that lighting a fire will easily expose your position?
Stop joking. Chixia Island is so big, and there are so many people who have trained in the jungle. It's just a fire. Who can tell who is who? If you investigate one by one, it will take forever.
The rich aroma of barbecue wafted in the air, and the sizzling sound of fat melting spread in the evening breeze.
"Mmm, it smells so good~"
Zhao Mu pretended to be exaggerated and used a knife to cut a piece of barbecue into his mouth and chewed it. Not only did he smack his lips, but his mouth was full of oil. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "Little brat, let's see if you can hold it in."
"Hey, I want one too."
A moment later, Xiao Lingxi appeared beside Zhao Mu and snatched the roasted Green Spirit Python from his hand. "Zhao Mu, your method is too despicable."
"Haha, who told you to be a little foodie?"
Zhao Mu laughed heartily.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with this time?"
Xiao Lingxi spoke incoherently while eating barbecue.
"Finish your meal first, then follow me in."
"What are you going to do!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxi's eyes widened instantly. She covered her chest with her hands and said with a vigilant look, "Hey, I'm warning you, don't set your sights on me. Also, isn't there a man in the cave? You're really..."
"What are you thinking, little brat?"
Zhao Mu was suddenly at a loss for words. He reached out and tapped her forehead hard, then said with a smile, "Eat your barbecue first."
