Chapter 1023

~11 min read 2,015 words

He was only in his twenties, the prime of his youth. If he really died like this, how could he be reconciled?

But what kind of thing was that prayer grass? He had no idea at all!

"Alright, stop crying. It's not some precious thing. I have it here; just take it."

Chen Ang was annoyed and rolled his eyes at Zong Shu directly.

He had also dealt with quite a few nether creatures before, and this thing always grew near nether creatures. He had picked up quite a few before; he didn't expect that there would really be a day when it could be used.

Seeing this thing, that person looked at Chen Ang with admiration.

"It seems this kid is really not destined to die. Then you guys wait here; I'll come over to deliver the medicine to him later."

Hearing what this person said, Zong Shu breathed a sigh of relief and was also full of gratitude toward Chen Ang.

"Look at how much you've done for me; I really don't know how I should repay you."

"Then you'd better think about it carefully."

Chen Ang had no intention of letting it go at that.

After all, he picked up those prayer grasses because he knew the value of prayer grass. The handful he just took was enough to exchange for a skill book he could use.

Fortunately, most people here didn't know the effect of prayer grass and just thought Zong Shu was really lucky.

And today's incident also made Chen Ang steal the show. Thinking about it, the Li family should also know his great name, and they would probably come looking for him later.

Thinking of this, he felt itchy with hatred for Zong Shu.

"Alright, you wait here yourself. I have to go back to the room; Qing Mei is still waiting for me. I've done my best for you. In the future, you'd better not follow me anymore."

Dropping these words, Chen Ang turned and left. When he arrived at the room, he saw several guys dressed in luxurious clothes standing in the room, while Qing Mei was sitting at the table at a loss. Seeing him return, she stood up immediately.

"Brother Chen Ang, they said... they want to talk to you."

Qing Mei spoke, and the person closest to Chen Ang also stood up immediately, and then introduced himself to Chen Ang: "Hello, I am the current manager of the Li family, and the current head of the family is my father."

"What are you looking for me for? Didn't I already give the reward for the accommodation? With those two secret manuals of mine, shouldn't it be enough to treat everyone here to food and lodging for a night?"

Chen Ang sneered at them, clearly not wanting to pay attention.

"If you are so ignorant, don't blame me for turning against you and not recognizing this favor of yours."

After all, the opponent's drug was already so tricky; if he had a few more equally tricky trump cards, they might really end up falling right here.

"You misunderstood. We don't mean to cause trouble; we just want to ask about the situation last night."

"Did you dig up or see anything special? Or encounter anything special?"

The intention of this questioning was already very obvious.

Chen Ang didn't want to answer and immediately unleashed his ability to talk nonsense, circling around these people.

"Last night's business? You mention last night and I get angry. I helped you dig the ground, and I went to rest halfway through. When I opened my eyes again, what I saw were those nether creatures."

"As for others, I didn't see a single one. In order to survive, I could only hide from those guys, and also fight them head-on."

Chen Ang was agitated, as if he was about to curse at any moment. Those people also swallowed their saliva, not knowing where to explain from.

After all, they were indeed worried about suffering casualties and losses.

"We were also afraid that everyone would encounter danger, but I didn't expect that there would be quite a few good things dropped from killing nether creatures. That was something I fought for with my life, so forgive me for not taking it out for you to visit."

Chen Ang said this deliberately, just wanting to make them unable to use moral kidnapping.

Those people continued to nod, and doubts also appeared in their eyes.

"Since those nether creatures are so powerful, why were you still able to retreat unscathed?"

"Because there was an expert helping."

Chen Ang made it up directly and arranged his performance last night on the head of a so-called "mysterious person."

"I was about to be beaten to death, but that mysterious person appeared suddenly and killed the nether creatures in front of me with just one move."

"I immediately asked the other party for help. Fortunately, the other party was a kind person and agreed to let me and Zong Shu follow behind him. We hid for the whole night like that until someone dug something out of the ground, and only then did those nether creatures disappear."

Regarding Chen Ang's words, the Li family was even more surprised, but this sounded more reasonable.

"So who is that person? Where did he go now? As long as you are willing to point us in the direction, we will immediately..."

"Mr. Li, I don't want money. If you want to bribe me with money, I advise you to consider it again."

Chen Ang refused flatly.

He fabricated this excuse just to stop the harassment of this group of people. If they knew the truth, wouldn't they just rob him directly?

After all, this Eye of Hell is a good thing that can control an entire army. I'm afraid everyone wants it, but no one has the courage.

"Alright, if I remember correctly, that expert should still be on the mountain, but I don't know if it's to keep us from following."

"That's all I remember. Sorry to trouble you to leave my room. I will leave the city to go to other places later. I hope there will be a chance to come and play at your place next time."

Chen Ang became polite. Seeing that several people still didn't mean to leave, he quickly pulled Qing Mei's hand and left the room.

There were many people in the hall; even if they wanted to make a move, they would be wary of the crowd.

At that time, if the situation was not right, he would also grease the soles of his feet and leave immediately, never delaying for a second.

Zong Shu was still in the hall. Seeing Chen Ang, he immediately went up to greet him happily.

"Why did you come over again? Could it be that you came specifically to see me? I've already taken the medicine just now. As long as I take it for another two or three days, I can fully recover to normal."

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Qing Mei was confused.

It's just that before she finished speaking, she saw a young-looking person, but with very old expressions and movements, speak up.

Opening his mouth, he spoke directly to Chen Ang: "Gu Yan, I helped you save a life. Shouldn't you thank me properly?"

"My request is not high. As long as you help me find something, after it's done, I will definitely not bother you again, and you guys too."

Regarding the other party's proposal, Chen Ang actually didn't have much interest, but since the other party had helped him just now, he was a bit embarrassed to refuse.

In the end, he could only nod in agreement.

"Alright then, help you with what? It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this time, but if it's something too difficult, I might not necessarily be able to help."

"Don't worry, you definitely can." The other party was full of confidence in Chen Ang, and the expression on his face was even more relieved.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking for trouble now, they naturally had to leave the villa as soon as possible. With their abilities, this was naturally not a difficult task.

As for Zong Shu, after he knew his situation, he just wanted to break the jar and let it break, eating and drinking well to spend the rest of these years.

Therefore, he also made a request, saying that he wanted to have a good meal before leaving.

"Since I'm going to die sooner or later, I must be a full ghost, not a hungry ghost. The things here are so delicious; wouldn't it be a pity not to eat more?"

Regarding what he said, Chen Ang couldn't deny it either.

Looking at the young man again, Chen Ang couldn't help but ask: "You just said Gu Yan, is that your name? Let's set off after eating later. Before that, I still want to ask what you want me to help with."

Gu Yan didn't speak, just silently picked up the things he wanted to eat. This actually made Chen Ang a bit embarrassed, so he could only close his mouth and eat obediently.

Compared to Zong Shu taking big fish and meat as if it didn't cost money, the food he took was a combination of meat and vegetables, with meat and vegetables inside, and they were all good things that were hard to eat.

I guess after leaving here, it would be difficult for them to eat these good things again.

Thinking of this, Chen Ang also let go and ate. Their behavior also made the people around look a few more times.

Fortunately, those managers didn't say anything; after all, they recognized Chen Ang and the others, and naturally knew that they had made contributions for them.

People from other families now all want to win over Chen Ang. If they don't treat them well, when Chen Ang runs away, they won't even have a place to cry.

And after the few people ate and drank their fill, they left immediately. Until they walked a distance away from the villa, Gu Yan only then opened his golden mouth.

"I didn't say anything just now, just because I was worried that there were ears on the wall. The place I want to go is indeed nearby, but it is a special space, and I have never found the passage."

"I think this passage can only be opened by you."

Hearing this, Chen Ang was also extremely helpless.

What is this? He didn't even believe in himself so much; where did the other party get the confidence?

But if he said such things to the other party, the other party definitely wouldn't believe it either.

It would be better to save some energy and accompany him to look around. When the time comes and the so-called passage is not found, the other party will definitely give up on his own.

Thinking this, the few people just followed behind him like this, and soon walked into a forest, and the things in this forest were growing very vigorously.

"This place is not bad. Did you discover it when collecting medicinal materials? People like you with healing talents are actually not many, and plus you have some skills, so there is actually no great need to collect medicinal materials yourself."

"But the medicinal materials I need are hard to find on the market, so I can only find a way myself. After all, you should also know that the expenses for our talents are not something you can compare with."

The other party's tone carried a bit of bitterness, clearly troubled by this matter for quite some time.

Although the time spent together was not long, Chen Ang could feel that along the way, Gu Yan was not as guarded against them as before, which was also related to the danger they might encounter in this forest.
