Chapter 168 Differences between the cook and the elder
With Ding Huan's status and identity, he could not propose changing roads at this time, nor could he propose leaving this road alone.
Even with the worst excuse, he still had to wait until he was stationed in the camp before asking to leave in search of food.
Under the current circumstances, it was obviously unreasonable for him to ask for food, so this excuse would not work either.
Just when Ding Huan was anxiously thinking about how to leave the large army, a messy ground appeared in front of everyone.
There were discarded clothing and tents everywhere, and some weapons scattered everywhere.
"This is where the accident happened." Han Weicheng's voice was trembling.
Ding Huan could also tell that there had been extreme panic here, and then everyone dispersed.
But Ding Huan knew very well that Han Weicheng and the others did not have the accident here. They had passed the place where the accident happened more than ten minutes ago.
This is just a fake scene that has been set up.
Before, Ding Huan thought that these clothes and weapons were also hallucinations. After careful observation with his spiritual mind several times, he found that they were all real.
That means that the secret being who plotted against the Heavenly Artifact Sect and the Great Sword Sect is very unusual, and even arranged a fake scene.
The only thing that Ding Huan didn't understand was that this fake scene was meaningless.
Ding Huan looked in front of him again. Just now he saw that this was a jungle, and now it was a road.
Ding Huan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, circulated the Luo Consciousness Meridian, and then opened his eyes again to look around.
This time he finally returned to normal, and he could see clearly that this was not the main road without using his mind.
After several attempts, Ding Huan vaguely understood what was going on.
This is definitely a poisonous fog, the same as the poison last night.
Everyone has been infected, but he has the poison gene.
His poison-reducing gene has become an instinct as his cultivation level has improved.
Because of this, even if you are affected by this phantom poison, you will return to normal after a while.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, his fused Eye of Desolation has seen through some of the illusions.
No matter what happened, it can't go on like this.
If we go deeper and deeper, won't it be a dead end?
Ding Huan calculated for himself again, and the result was much more obscure than before. He couldn't see clearly at all and it was all blurry.
The rules here are much higher than those in the mortal world. It is indeed difficult for him to calculate, but he can still use it as a reference for his own situation.
We absolutely cannot move forward.
"Deacon Qiong." Ding Huan shouted loudly without caring about anything else.
There were a lot of people in this team, and because of the strange incident before, everyone was extremely quiet during the walk.
Ding Huan's voice destroyed the entire quiet environment, and almost everyone shuddered.
What happened again? That was everyone's only thought.
No need for Deacon Qiong to pass the message, everyone stopped involuntarily.
"What happened?" Deacon Qiong saw that it was Ding Huan calling him and hurried over to ask.
Not only Deacon Qiong, but also Elder Gu, the elders of the other two sects and Han Weicheng came over.
Ding Huan cupped his fists and said:
"Elder Gu, Deacon Qiong, I am very confident in my sixth sense. I feel that it will not be a good idea if I continue from here."
"What do you mean?" Elder Gu still admired Ding Huan.
Not only did a cook find Ningxing Bamboo, he also rescued a disciple of the Tianwei Sect last night.
Elder Qu from the Twin Soul Sect and Elder Liu from the Zixia Valley did not know Ding Huan's origins. When Elder Gu asked, they both stood aside and listened to what Ding Huan had to say.
Ding Huan pointed to the side and said:
"I have a hunch that we can only turn this crisis around by walking through here."
"You want us to go into the jungle?" Elder Qu of the Shuanghun Sect's face changed.
Not only Elder Qu from the Twin Soul Sect and Elder Liu from Zixia Valley, but even Elder Gu frowned when he saw Ding Huan.
In the Grand Canyon, where is the most dangerous place? Naturally, it is the jungle.
When entering the jungle, you will not only face various monsters and beasts, but also various traps.
These traps exist naturally. For example, if you accidentally fall into a cave while walking, entering such a cave is almost a dead end.
Or else he would be suddenly swept away by a plant demon, and then all the bones and debris would be swallowed up. As for falling into a quagmire, that would be the most honorable way to die.
"Ding Huan, what are you talking about? This place used to be a jungle." Deacon Qiong frowned.
Ding Huan felt contempt in his heart, thinking, aren't we in a jungle? It's just that you are all poisoned by phantom poison, so you see it as a road. The direction I pointed to is the real road.
"Are you the deacon of Yanyue Sect?" Elder Liu suddenly asked.
Deacon Qiong said quickly: "No, this is a chef hired by one of our disciples. He is a temporary chef and will leave after arriving at the sect."
I heard that Ding Huan was a cook, or a cook privately called by a disciple.
Elder Qu of the Twin Soul Sect was furious and stared at Ding Huan coldly:
"You are just a cook and you dare to talk nonsense. Get out of here. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will slap you to death."
Ding Huan felt unhappy and had no choice but to say to Deacon Qiong:
"Deacon Qiong, in this case, please allow me to leave the team by myself."
Seeing that Elder Qu of the Twin Souls Sect was about to have another attack, Elder Gu of the Yanyue Sect suddenly said:
"I still agree with Fellow Daoist Ding's idea. Our Yanyue Sect will follow Fellow Daoist Ding Huan from the side." Gu Youchang did appreciate Ding Huan a little, but it was just a little appreciation.
He chose to listen to Ding Huan's opinion not only because Ding Huan brought back the Star Ningzhu before, but also because of Ding Huan's calmness when he entered the Dahe Canyon.
More importantly, he also had a vague sense of uneasiness.
It's just that this feeling of uneasiness is very light, it's the kind of feeling that is almost gone if you don't mention it.
Ding Huan mentioned it just now, which made him feel slightly uneasy, and soon the uneasiness disappeared again.
Because of this, he chose to listen to Ding Huan.
"Elder Gu, Ding Huan is after all... Entering the jungle in a large valley canyon, but the danger is greatly increased. Since records have been recorded, very few people can survive."
Deacon Qiong couldn't help but said.
Elder Gu frowned. He also knew that entering the jungle was too dangerous, but Ding Huan's words and his vague feeling made him hesitate for a moment.
"Although Fellow Daoist Ding's premonition was good, we still lost two disciples last night."
Deacon Qiong said again.
"What happened last night?" Elder Qu of the Shuanghun Sect asked.
"When we were stationed at the camp last night, Daoist Ding had a premonition that the location of our camp was fine. It turned out to be safe, but two disciples were missing." Deacon Qiong replied.
Elder Qu stared at Ding Huan and snorted coldly:
"If it were the cook of my Twin Soul Sect, and he did this repeatedly, I would have slapped him to death."
Ding Huan was furious in his heart. Damn it, when your master gets stronger in the future, he will crush this sect that seizes the body first.
Elder Gu said:
"Let's do this. If you believe in Fellow Daoist Ding, just follow Fellow Daoist Ding. If you don't believe in it, just follow the original path."
Gu Youchang understood that if he didn't help Ding Huan, Ding Huan would be killed by Qu Youshan today.
Ding Huan was the first to walk out with Lao Liu. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, he had to leave this place.
He was very grateful to Elder Gu for speaking up for him, otherwise he would be worse than an ant in front of these people.
"Elder Gu, where are you?" A newly recruited disciple of the Yanyue Sect couldn't help but ask.
Elder Gu's face was very solemn:
"I believe in Fellow Daoist Ding, but this time things are extraordinary. I can't make the decision for everyone, so everyone makes their own decisions about their own destiny."
After saying that, Gu Youchang also stood by Ding Huan.
"Miss, we can't go there." Qingyu grabbed Guanmai who was about to go there.
Seeing Guanlai looking at him, Qingyu whispered:
"That Ding Huan is just a good cook, but he has no dignity, he is just a cook. How can we believe him when he says he has a premonition? Besides, he lets us go into the jungle. Isn't this looking for death?"
Guanai frowned. She didn't believe in Ding Huan, but believed in Elder Gu.
Elder Gu's strength is definitely the strongest here.
As long as you stay with Elder Gu, you should be safe.
If something goes wrong if she stays here, other sect elders will never help her, and their sect also has disciples.
As for Deacon Qiong, he was just a monk at the peak of foundation building. He was too weak to protect her at all.
"Elder Gu said that you can make your own decisions. Although you are my maid, you can still make your own decisions. I will still follow Elder Gu."
After Guanlai finished speaking, she also stood over.
Qing Yu was very helpless, she didn't want to go there, but she was a maidservant, and she couldn't resist if her master wanted her to die.
"Fairy Guan, why don't you come with us?" Deacon Qiong became anxious when he saw Guan Mai also leaving the group.
Elder Gu was stronger in rank and strength than him, so there was nothing he could do to stop him.
Guanai is the person he protects. If something happens, how will he explain it to the young sect leader?
"No, I can walk on my own, I don't need anyone else's guidance." Guanai said in a cold tone.
"let's go."
Elder Qu of the Shuanghun Sect looked down upon Gu Youchang's actions. He was too lazy to wait any longer and simply left first.
Deacon Qiong could only say:
"If you are willing to follow me, then come with me. If you are willing to follow Elder Gu, then follow Elder Gu."
Twenty-three newly recruited disciples, look at me and I look at you.
Finally, they were divided into two. Twelve of them felt that Elder Gu was the strongest, and it was better to stay with Elder Gu for safety.
Their thoughts were the same as Guanai's. Even though there were two sect elders here, if something happened, they would never help the Yanyue Sect disciples.
Han Weicheng also hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to follow the large army.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Elder Gu, it's that he doesn't believe that there are good things going into the jungle of Dahe Canyon.
More than a hundred people were divided into two teams, one of which was led by Elder Qu and Elder Zixiagu Liu of the Shuanghun Sect.
The other team only had a dozen people, led by Ding Huan and Elder Gu.
In fact, it was Ding Huan who led the way, because as soon as they separated, Gu Youchang said to Ding Huan:
"You lead the way and speed up."
No need to be reminded by Gu Youchang, Ding Huan is also speeding up.
He had to get out of the jungle of the Grand Canyon as quickly as possible, otherwise it would make no difference whether he walked separately or not.
