Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Stunning and Greedy (Five Consecutive Releases in Good Faith)_1

It’s Ju Hua!

This guy was sitting under a big banyan tree, which was indeed cooler than other places, but aside from Ju Hua, no one else got close, not even Sun Lin’s other three students, who stayed far away from him, looking at him with disgust on their faces as if they were afraid of catching something from him.

"No need, we’ll be entering the mountains soon, and I can handle a bit of sun."

Soon, Sun Lin began walking towards you.

"Mu Yun, we are about to enter the mountains. Are you and the three girls ready? This time, when we come out of the mountains, it might not be until half a month later. The place is at least half a day’s journey from our current small mountain village, and the mountain paths are tough, so it’s better to prepare a little more before entering."

You felt grateful for Sun Lin’s concern and replied with a smile, "Professor Sun, rest assured, we’re not greenhouse flowers. We have made thorough preparations before coming."

Sun Lin nodded, "We had originally planned to enter the mountains tomorrow, but it just so happens that people from the village are going up to bring food to old Cao and his team. They have a mule and horse team, which means we can transport our equipment at the same time, saving some time."

Hearing that you would also have to travel in the mountains at night, you slightly frowned and then looked around at the surrounding mountains and forests, saying to Sun Lin, "Can you estimate what time we might reach our destination at night? Qinling is steep to begin with, and at night, there can be some unclean things in the forests."

You didn’t continue the rest of your thought, as Sun Lin was friends with Du Xishan and was somewhat aware of the ghosts and spirits.

Hearing your words, he also frowned, "That’s really hard to say, and setting up tents temporarily is troublesome, and we’ll have to pack up again tomorrow."

"If the young master is afraid of the difficulty of traveling at night, then we might as well wait until tomorrow."

It was at this point that a burly man approached. When he saw Zhao’er and the other two girls behind you, a clear flash of amazement and greed crossed his eyes.

"Who are you?"

You’ve always been blunt with strangers, having developed your own way of dealing with people after experiencing certain things.

"My name is Qin Han, and I’m responsible for this archaeological excavation work."

Qin Han appeared to be around thirty years old with dark skin and explosively muscular, giving him a strong and capable look.

His tone was rather arrogant while talking to you, and his eyes kept darting towards Zhao’er beside you.

"Look, Captain Qin, if you freaking keep ogling my girlfriend, I wouldn’t mind gouging out your eyeballs, smearing them with pine resin, and using them as lanterns at night."

Saying this, you glared coldly at Qin Han, who suddenly felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. His face showed a sudden look of panic, and even let out a cry of "do, do, do not come over," stumbling backward and accidentally falling onto the broken stones.

The crowd hadn’t expected Qin Han to be scared off by what seemed to be a harmless gesture from you, and while they looked down on Qin Han, they also saw you in a new light.

In your opinion, the only way to deal with someone like Qin Han was to fight fire with fire; only by showing him some color would he respect and even steer clear of you.

To put it bluntly, such people need to be put in their place!

However, the voice that came from behind you eventually made you shiver, "Mu Yun, you’re so man."

Hmm—

Just as you thought, ever since being frightened, Qin Han had stayed in his own team and hadn’t had any contact with you. However, he would still occasionally throw resentful glances your way.

For you and Zhao’er, the winding and rugged mountain trails of the Qinling Mountains posed no challenge at all, Wu Qiyi’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits had been transformed by you, and her physical body had also merged with the Pure Qi of Sanqing. Even though she had not practiced any martial arts, her body had long since surpassed that of a mortal, becoming an existence half-human, half-deity like the Empress; thus, she walked the mountain paths as if on level ground.

As for Xi Yu, you had originally thought she was just a high-powered white-collar worker living in a steel metropolis, but unexpectedly, she displayed an agility surpassing even that of the mountain folk.

Upon close observation, you noticed that Xi Yu’s breathing was even and prolonged, clearly indicating her status as a trained individual. After roughly three hours of mountain walking, she showed no signs of a flushed face or shortness of breath, the very image of a master.

"I can’t do this, I can’t go on, I simply can’t walk anymore."

Ju Hua swayed, clutching onto the trunk of a tree, her complexion as pale as paper.

Looking at the others, they too were sweating profusely with unhealthy-looking complexions, in contrast to the four of you, who appeared as fresh as when you started, as if just out for a jaunt in the countryside.

Sun Lin, who had reached middle age and whose stamina was not what it used to be, also found a cool spot to sit down and said to everyone, "Let’s all take a break, half an hour, no, ten minutes will do."

Wu Qiyi, alongside Zhao’er and Xi Yu, sat on the trunk of a fallen birch tree, the mountain breeze gently brushing their hair, and combined with the dazzling scenic backdrop, it left the others beside them somewhat entranced.

You turned to look at Qin Han and found the man sitting in a distant corner, staring intently at the three women like a hungry wolf.

"Mu Yun, what are you thinking about?"

Ju Hua approached at that moment.

"I was thinking, once it gets dark, whether to sever Qin Han’s tendons in his hands and feet with a knife first, then tie him to a tree trunk and wait for the wolves..." you paused, noticing the strange looks from others around you, and immediately laughed, saying, "Just kidding, just a joke. It’s pretty cold, right? Consider it a way to cool everyone down."

"Mu Yun, you’re so bad."

Ju Hua actually threw you a coquettish look.

"Ugh! I can’t take it, give me a moment to throw up!"

A man beside you suddenly leaned over towards the bushes and began to vomit, perfectly mirroring the true state of your heart at that moment.

"Professor, Minmin says she feels a bit dizzy." Yang Runzhang’s face was contorted with worry.

After hearing this, Sun Lin immediately stood up and walked over to Ke Min.

Ke Min’s face was pale, too, but unlike others who would gradually regain their complexion after resting, hers was turning more greenish.

"This..." Sun Lin furrowed his brows and said to Ke Min, "Min, you didn’t eat anything before coming here, did you?"

Ke Min shook her head weakly, struggling even to speak. If not for her boyfriend constantly taking care of her, she probably wouldn’t have managed even an hour’s walk, let alone three.

"She must have been poisoned." You stood beside Sun Lin, addressing Yang Runzhang, "Check her for any cuts on her body."

Upon hearing this, Yang Runzhang frantically examined Ke Min, discovering a small purplish-black cut on the inside of her arm. Since the mark was only the size of a fingernail, even Ke Min herself hadn’t noticed it.

"When did she get this injury?" Yang Runzhang panicked.
