Chapter 1015

"Damn it, what exactly is this situation? Could it be that Ben Ben has some treasure on him that can avoid snakes, insects, rats, and ants?"

Chen Ang attacked these guys while not forgetting to continue tracking.

Fortunately, the attack power of these guys wasn't strong, so besides being troublesome, they couldn't stop his continued tracking.

Soon the two passed through the woods, but after the woods was a garden. Compared to the saying of a garden, Chen Ang felt more that this should be a maze.

I'm afraid this Black Tortoise wanted to use this maze to let Ben Ben shake him off.

He naturally couldn't let the other party get his wish, and had to find the person here no matter what.

"Senior Black Tortoise, if you are really here, why not meet with this junior!"

Chen Ang shouted while not daring to lose Ben Ben. It was just that he didn't know how the Black Tortoise controlled Ben Ben, but that guy's speed was getting faster and faster, even exceeding the limit.

And he looked like he wouldn't get tired.

"No wonder those Kui Ox clan people were all afraid of being controlled. If you are controlled, wouldn't you become someone else's puppet."

Thinking this, Chen Ang discovered something wrong.

Because at this moment, Ben Ben had already rushed toward a corner. If he couldn't catch up in time, maybe he would lose the person.

Without a second word, Chen Ang wanted to jump over that wall, but unexpectedly, just after jumping up, he felt a huge pressure.

I imagine there should be some restrictions in this place, so that he couldn't jump at all.

But he couldn't just watch Ben Ben have any danger, right?

There was no other way, he could only rush toward Ben Ben with all his strength, immediately grabbing the other party's clothes, and the other party also suddenly seemed to have received a blow at this moment, falling straight toward his body.

Chen Ang was nervous, having to check his situation. What he didn't expect was that this guy actually just fell asleep?

"I read in books that Gu Diao are usually solitary creatures. I imagine there shouldn't be any others. Moreover, it indeed likes to stay near some rare treasures, not for anything else, but just to lie in wait for the humans who come seeking the treasures."

Regarding the craftiness of this creature, Chen Ang was still somewhat speechless.

However, since he knew its habits, he figured the medicinal herb must be nearby.

As long as Qing Mei took the medicine here, she should be able to clear the toxins from her body.

Thinking of this, Chen Ang's actions became even more urgent.

And soon, they found the medicinal herb at the foot of the mountain.

The appearance of the herb was quite plain, but its vitality seemed extremely tenacious.

And around it, a patch of green land had actually grown, a scene none of them had ever seen before.

"This grass grows really beautifully, but it's a pity that if it's plucked, the medicinal effect will quickly disappear. Do we really have to pick it?" Qing Mei felt a bit reluctant.

Seeing her like this, Chen Ang simply shook his head.

"We will first take a section to detoxify you; as for the rest, I naturally have a way to take it away safely."

Hearing Chen Ang say this, Qing Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Da Xiong was extremely envious of these things, but hindered by Chen Ang's presence, he didn't dare to make a move, let alone covet them; he only hoped Chen Ang would show mercy and share some with him.

Fortunately, after the medicine was brewed, Chen Ang also tossed the body of the Gu Diao from earlier toward him.

"Don't sell this thing. One of your talents is speed, right? The claws of this creature will have a good effect on you, so I'll just give it to you."

"Really? Thank you, Big Brother! You will be my Big Brother for this lifetime!" Da Xiong was overjoyed and could only repeat his gratitude.

At the same time, he hid the good item away to avoid it being snatched by someone on the road later.

However, with Chen Ang around, it was estimated that no one would be able to snatch anything from their hands.

It was just that after drinking the medicine, Qing Mei felt dizzy. If Chen Ang hadn't checked her and confirmed she was fine, she would have thought she had used the wrong medicine.

Taking the medicine away according to his previous plan, Chen Ang carried Qing Mei on his back and left. By nightfall, the three of them had returned to the Extreme North City.

Fortunately, Extreme North City had no rule about closing the city gates; one could enter and exit the city freely at any time.

It was just that the innkeeper didn't expect Chen Ang to return in the middle of the night and couldn't help but give a few extra instructions, telling them not to wake the other guests.

Qing Mei slept until noon the next day. Chen Ang, worried that something might happen to her, kept watch by her bedside until she woke up, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, get dressed and I'll take you out to eat. We also have some matters to deal with while we're at it." Chen Ang instructed Qing Mei.

Since they had finally come to Extreme North City, he naturally wasn't in such a rush to go back.

At the very least, he also wanted to get to the bottom of the matter regarding the ruins.

Qing Mei roughly guessed Chen Ang's thoughts and nodded obediently as she got up, though it was already half an hour later by the time she finished getting ready.

Walking on the road, Qing Mei felt incomparably relaxed.

Previously, because she had been poisoned, she had been worried about whether her body could continue to hold out, and she was also afraid she might encounter a situation where she absolutely had to use her talent.

Fortunately, before that situation occurred, Chen Ang had already detoxified her.

And this time, she also wanted to go to the place where clues were sold to broaden her horizons.

After all, Da Xiong said that was the most fun place here.

"Where are we going now? Are we going to the alley you went to before?"

"That's right, Big Brother said he wants to sell that beak, and he wants to exchange it for the best information." Da Xiong explained to Qing Mei.

Qing Mei, however, was puzzled: "Isn't it said that the information from Wan Shitong is the most accurate?"

"Indeed, but Big Brother said that the information he sells is nothing more than a big piece of news broken down into dozens or even hundreds of small pieces of news. If you don't piece these bits of information together, let alone the ruins, I'm afraid no one would even know how to enter them at all."

Da Xiong directly became Chen Ang's mouthpiece.

As clever as Qing Mei was, she quickly understood Chen Ang's thinking.

"So you think that Wan Shitong likely knows the location of that place and also knows the method to enter, but they themselves can't get in at all, which is why they released the information to sell, while secretly letting their own people prepare?" The more Qing Mei thought about it, the more she felt that Wan Shitong had hundreds of schemes.

"We cannot rule out such a possibility, so we must also form a team to ensure that we can obtain benefits this time." Chen Ang finally spoke.

The few of them arrived at the alley once again.

Compared to the last time, there were even more people in this place this time.

And Chen Ang also discovered that the number of people in this Extreme North City was several times higher than when they had first arrived.

And they had only been here for two days.

Clearly, those ruins were even more powerful than he had imagined. As for exactly how powerful, it would depend on the level of the top experts who appeared this time.

If no powerhouse comparable to Qingshan appeared, there wouldn't be much need for him to enter this place.

Therefore, this beak was his stepping stone to test the experts.

As long as the person who could recognize this material was powerful enough, he could choose to form a team with that person and then go into the ruins to see if he could happen to encounter anything that he or his uncle and the others could use.

Having grown to his level of strength, he no longer had such a great craving for these top-tier materials, because every once in a while, they would have the opportunity to encounter these things.

And if they didn't encounter suitable ones, they wouldn't waste these materials either, but would instead sell a favor by giving them away or exchanging them with people they knew; perhaps this would give them one extra chance to be saved the next time they encountered an accident.

Therefore, he would absolutely not give up these opportunities to collect top-tier materials.

Understanding Chen Ang's meaning, Qing Mei naturally wouldn't stop him again, but followed Chen Ang to that mysterious alley.

All of them wore masks, and this time, the people in this alley were several times more numerous than the last time. They had to struggle in the crowd for a long time just to change places, and it was only with great difficulty that they squeezed into a standing position among some vendors.

Chen Ang simply let Da Xiong hold up that giant beak and shout loudly.

"Selling top-grade materials! Those who know their worth, come take a look! Everyone is welcome to make an offer!"

This shouting was different from other shops and soon received the attention of others; many people curiously gathered around.

"What kind of thing is this? How is this material high-grade?"

"Isn't it just a bird's beak? What's so great about it? There are plenty of teeth in the mouths of the beasts here in the Extreme North."

"That thing seems to have some background indeed. Little brother, look, is bartering okay? I have a sturgeon tendon here; that's a thousand-year-old sturgeon."

Many people were discussing it.

Chen Ang, however, remained unmoved.

He believed that the people he was looking for had already noticed him, but were still silently observing nearby.

As soon as the timing was right, they would naturally step forward.

It was just that, to his surprise, before he could wait for the people he was waiting for, those subordinates from Wan Shitong had already come looking for him directly.

"This brother, our boss invites you to our shop to talk. Our offer will certainly be able to satisfy you."

Hearing this, Chen Ang finally spoke.
