Chapter 480 - 480 Half Cliff Mountain
480 Half Cliff Mountain
After leaving the Ji Ding hall, Qin Xi got into Jun Yaohui’s car and the two of them went to the law firm. After signing the transfer contract for Yaohui Pharmaceuticals, they set off for the herbal field.
It was already afternoon when the two of them arrived at the foot of a desolate mountain.
This mountain was called Half Cliff Mountain. It was not big, but it was very tall. It was surrounded by bald trees. The surrounding rivers had already frozen.
At the foot of the mountain, Jun Yaohui stopped the car and said hesitantly, “We can only park here and walk the rest of the way. Also… what about the poison in my body?”
Previously, Qin Xi said that he only had three hours. Apart from his head, the rest of his body was purple, making him look especially terrifying.
Qin Xi glanced at him and got out of the car.
“If you don’t want to die from the poison now, I advise you not to waste any more time. If I see a herbal field that I’m satisfied with, I might be in a good mood and remove the poison for you.”
Jun Yaohui held his breath and quickly got out of the car excitedly. “Don’t worry. You will definitely be satisfied with this herbal field.”
The two of them hiked up the mountain. Jun Yaohui was panting from exhaustion, but Qin Xi’s expression was as calm as water. At the same time, she had the time to admire the scenery around her. Although it was winter and there was no scenery to speak of, she still liked this feeling.
After walking for nearly 40 minutes, the two of them finally reached the mountainside. Behind a hidden stone wall, Jun Yaohui took a deep breath and pushed the mechanism.
With a rumbling sound, the stone that looked like a door began to move slowly, revealing a dark cave pa.s.sage. Jun Yaohui did not hesitate to enter.
“This is the place. The pa.s.sage might be a little long.”
Qin Xi looked around and saw that the pa.s.sage was narrow and there were obvious chisel marks on the stone wall. Moreover, it looked like it had been there for a long time. She couldn’t help but frown. “Did you dig this?”
After the two of them entered, the stone door slowly closed. Jun Yaohui took out the mini flashlight he had long prepared. Just a trace of light was enough to illuminate the dark place.
Qin Xi did not care about this trace of light. After all, she had Jiu Yuan as her flashlight. The dark cave was as bright as day to her.
“No, it was already like this when I took over. It’s said that this is the territory of the hidden family clan behind the s.h.i.+ family. Inside are all kinds of spiritual herbs and treasures that I’ve never seen before. Every one of them is a hundred years old. I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s strange here. There’s no one guarding it. Moreover, the temperature here is very high. The deeper we go, the higher the temperature. No matter what season it is outside, the temperature will reach 50 degrees Celsius at the highest. The reason why I come once a month is to inform the s.h.i.+ family of the situation here. After that, there’s nothing else.”
“Is there no one guarding this place?” Qin Xi asked curiously.
When Jun Yaohui heard this, his eyes lit up. “No one…”
Jiu Yuan immediately complained, “It seems like this guy doesn’t know how powerful you are. He’s playing tricks on you! Do you want me to teach him a lesson?”
Qin Xi sent a voice transmission. “There’s no hurry. Go and see what he’s hiding.”
Jiu Yuan nodded and floated into the depths. After a while, he was gone, making the place dark again.
Qin Xi did not expect this cave to be so deep. She thought for a moment and asked, “Is this the only way?”
Jun Yaohui quickly explained, “No, this is the back door. The front door is in the river at the foot of the mountain. You have to hold your breath for 20 minutes to reach it. Normally, we would walk up here.”
It was winter now. Holding breath in the river, he would freeze to death. He would rather walk in this dark place for an hour than take a shortcut.
