Chapter 471 Finding the Array Core
Without a second thought, Jun Lanjin jumped down to catch Xie Xing.
But the fog was so thick that even after Jun Lanjin stood on the ground, he still couldn't see Xie Xing.
Jun Lanjin: "..."
He fell silent.
We can't let him kill us, can we?
Xie Xing is not dead.
She was hung on a bamboo pole.
As he fell, a bamboo pole came right in front of him. At that speed, Xie Xing fell and was directly pierced through by the bamboo pole.
But Xie Xing was lucky.
She didn't die. The bamboo pole grazed her back, passed through her clothes, and left Xie Xing hanging on it.
With his back burning from the chafing, Xie Xing finally understood what it meant to reap what you sow.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have flattered him!
Xie Xing looked down and saw that the bamboo pole was still some distance from the ground. If she wanted to get down from the bamboo pole now, she would probably have to take off her clothes.
Xie Xing fell silent, glancing around.
In the thick fog, no one could see anyone else. Even if she took off her clothes and fell down, she should be fine after putting them back on.
With that in mind, Xie Xing immediately made the decision.
She unbuttoned her dress, peeling it off layer by layer, revealing her fair skin underneath, leaving her only in a pair of underpants and a red bodice.
Fortunately, the straps of the red bib on her back weren't caught on it, and without the restraint, Xie Xing fell down with a thud.
Xie Xing fell on his bottom and sat up in pain.
She hurriedly reached for the clothes, and just as she was about to grab them, a sinister voice came from behind her: "What? Is your dear prince dead? Leaving you alone in the killing formation?"
Xie Xing was startled and turned his head sharply.
Then she saw Luo Hanfeng standing behind her at some point.
Before she could even cry out in fright, Luo Hanfeng's reaction was even stronger than hers.
He screamed, his whole body like a boiling kettle, yelling, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Their gazes fell upon Xie Xing's exposed skin, and they immediately looked away as if they had been burned.
But before long, Luo Hanfeng seemed to realize something, and turned to look at Xie Xing with a ferocious expression, gritting his teeth and saying, word by word, "What did you do in this killing formation?"
"What do you need to do that requires you to be naked like this?!"
The more Luo Hanfeng spoke, the louder his questioning became.
The sound was as if Xie Xing had betrayed him by doing something.
Xie Xing: "..."
She was speechless. "How long are you going to keep watching?"
"The dignified Seventh Prince, is he going to peep at people who aren't dressed?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng's expression became uncomfortable again. He immediately turned around and said angrily, "It's you who has no shame and doesn't wear clothes."
Xie Xing wasn't exactly naked; she had a bellyband on, having traveled from the 21st century. She didn't feel anything was wrong with it.
She put her clothes back on, glancing warily at Luo Hanfeng before doing so.
After all, Luo Hanfeng is hardly a gentleman, and she really doesn't know what to do if he does something right now.
Thinking this, Xie Xing dressed faster and faster.
Luo Hanfeng, who heard his thoughts, was speechless.
With a dark expression, he turned around and began to interrogate Xie Xing: "Xie Xing, you have some nerve, repeatedly provoking me."
"Now that you're in my hands, I'd like to see how you plan to escape this time."
Luo Hanfeng had said this countless times, but each time it was all talk and no action.
Xie Xingqing cleared her throat, glanced at Luo Hanfeng, and said, "This killing formation is unpredictable. You can just throw me into it and let me fend for myself."
Luo Hanfeng sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I've let you go, but you want to go back to Jun Lanjin's side?"
She gets angry when this is mentioned.
She almost fell to her death from up there.
Luo Hanfeng pulled her over, not giving her a chance to escape, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back today."
Within this killing formation, Luo Hanfeng had no time to settle scores with Xie Xing.
He wanted to find the old princess before Jun Lanjin, then take her out and activate the killing formation to kill her completely within it.
The poisonous fog was toxic, so Luo Hanfeng also stuffed a detoxification pill into Xie Xing's stomach.
Xie Xing then took two antidote pills.
She could move freely among the poisonous creatures.
However, Hua An, the old princess, and Qi Yu were unlucky in this poisonous fog.
Hua An and the old princess inhaled too much of the toxic fumes; their lips had turned purple.
The old princess's health was not so good; she had already fainted.
Hua An looked worried: "If we don't wait for the prince and the others to arrive, we're afraid we'll have been poisoned to death here long ago."
As he spoke, Hua An turned to look at Qi Yu.
As it turned out, Qi Yu's face looked normal, showing no signs of poisoning whatsoever.
Hua An was startled: "Why weren't you poisoned?"
Qi Yu tilted his head, looking at Hua An with a puzzled expression: "Why was I poisoned?"
Hua An: ?
Qi Yu said, "I have a Gu poison inside me, which makes me immune to all poisons."
Upon hearing this, Hua An quickly said, "Then can you find a way to cure me and the old princess from the poison and prevent us from being affected by this poisonous fog?"
Qi Yu thought for a moment, then cut his finger with a knife, squeezed out some blood, and placed it near Hua An's mouth, saying, "My blood can cure the poison."
Hua An's face darkened: "Why didn't you say so sooner!"
Qi Yu: "You didn't ask, how was I supposed to know you'd be poisoned?"
Hua An: "..."
He choked.
Fortunately, after drinking Qi Yu's blood, Hua An used his internal energy to expel the poison from his body and recovered after some recuperation.
As for the old princess, Hua An didn't care about her after feeding her blood.
If you're dizzy, so be it; it'll save you trouble.
Hua An looked at the road ahead and said, "This place is unpredictable and treacherous, with thick fog. With every step we take, the bamboo tables here will change, and there will occasionally be traps and hidden arrows."
"Add to that the poisonous fog, and those who can't get out will either be poisoned, killed, or starve to death."
Qi Yu's expression changed slightly, and he said with some grievance, "I haven't seen Miss yet."
"What can you do?"
Warner said, "The only way now is to find the core of the formation."
"Either you possess powerful internal energy and destroy this entire bamboo forest."
"But even that's not foolproof."
Hua An shook his head, picked up the old princess, and said, "Let's go for another stroll and see if we can get lucky."
Qi Yu didn't understand any of this; he only knew how to raise Gu worms.
So he silently followed behind Hua An.
Here, Luo Hanfeng took out a Gu, intending to use it to find the location of the old princess.
Xie Xing looked at the Gu in his hand and asked, "You also know how to use Gu?"
Luo Hanfeng glanced at her and said, "Master's Gu."
Xie Xing blinked: "You can't find the old princess's aura with Gu. Before capturing the old princess, the Gu on her body had already been removed."
Luo Hanfeng: "..."
