Chapter 126 Heading to West Mountain Peak
Seeing how determined they were, Yu Su did not stop them.
"Okay, I know a way to sneak up to the West Peak. Someone has been there several times. I'll have him draw a route map for you later."
Shu He's face showed surprise, "That's great!"
If they can find the cartilage grass and cure Li Chuzheng's poison, they can leave here!
Baili Moqing watched her out of the corner of his eyes. The excitement and joy on her face made him feel a strange emotion.
She was even happier than him when she found the cartilage grass!
Near noon, Shu He finally waited for Yu Su.
Behind him followed a woman, dressed simply, with only a thick braid hanging over her right shoulder. Two strands of white cotton and linen cloth were twisted through her hair, making her look even more elegant and neat.
Her pretty face is not stunningly beautiful, but her elegant temperament makes her very attractive and makes people like her.
"Her name is Yazhi. She occasionally studies medicine with me. She loves going into the mountains to collect herbs and is very familiar with them."
"The area on the west mountain peak where cartilage grass grows is hard to find, and the terrain is dangerous. Yazhi has been there several times, and she said she can take you there."
Shu He looked at the girl. Was she going to go with them?
"If you know it's dangerous there, why do you still want to go with us?"
Yazhi's temperament is indifferent, but not cold. She doesn't like to laugh, but she doesn't reject helping others. She is like a person who is free from worldly desires and has a free and persistent heart.
She said to Shu He, "Drawing a map is useless. There are many traps set outside the West Mountain Peak, and they are replaced every once in a while. A map alone is useless."
"But there is danger, aren't you afraid?" Shu He asked again.
Yazhi's expression changed slightly, but she didn't hesitate. "I also want to study the cartilage grass and make an antidote."
After hearing her words, Shu He's first thought was, "You want to help the Beast Tamer Clan and avoid being suppressed by the Xishan Clan due to the cartilage grass poison in the future, right?"
Yazhi remained silent, neither denying nor admitting.
Shu He looked at her and thought she was a little strange. There seemed to be some reservation between her delicate and elegant eyebrows.
Seeing this, Yu Su smiled and joked, "Hey, this girl, she must be looking down on me and wants to learn medicine from Miss He!"
"Mrs. He!"
Baili Moqing suddenly spoke, causing Yu Su to look slightly embarrassed. It turned out that this woman was already married.
Husband, is it him?
Hearing this, Shu He raised his eyebrows and looked at Baili Moqing, feeling a little puzzled.
What's wrong with him? Is it necessary to mention her married status to others again and again?
Baili Moqing looked outside as if nothing had happened.
Shu He ignored him and looked at Yazhi. Her eyes were slightly evasive, but neither humble nor arrogant. This was considered as tacit agreement with Yu Su's words.
"Yazhi heard that the clan leader's poison had erupted and I was powerless, but you, young lady, had once again controlled him and saved the clan leader's life. She immediately changed her attitude and said she wanted to come see you. She even offered to take you to West Mountain Peak."
"She really admires you now! Right, Yazhi?" Yu Su looked at her with a smile, not taking her "loving the new and getting bored with the old" behavior to heart.
Yazhi's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes as she looked at Shu He. "Besides this, I have another request."
Yu Su's face showed doubt. Did she have other ideas? Was she too greedy?
If these two are displeased, the clan leader might be in danger of being killed.
"You say." Shu He could see that she wanted something.
"I heard that you two are from the outside world. You are looking for a way out, right?"
"Yes."
"I want to go out."
"What?!" Yu Su's face changed drastically and he looked at her in disbelief.
Yazhi looked back at him and firmly repeated her request, "I want to go out. To see the world outside."
"Yazhi! Are you crazy?" Yu Su's voice was filled with rebuke. "You are from the Beast Tamer Clan, how could you have such thoughts?"
"Besides, the only way out is extremely dangerous. If you're not careful, you could die. Don't you want to live?"
Everyone in the entire Shanwai Valley knew that the only way out of the valley was guarded by the mountain god, and no one could enter or leave. Shanwai Valley had existed for so many years, and no one had been able to leave the valley!
He even didn't think these two outsiders could get out! Perhaps in the end, they would also become part of the Shanwai Valley.
"If the price of getting out is really my life, I'm willing to give it a try!" Yazhi's attitude was very firm, as if she had already made up her mind.
She had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to leave the valley. And Shu He and others who came from the outside world were the opportunity she had been waiting for.
There was nothing left for her to miss in this valley beyond the mountains.
Half an hour later, Yazhi brought Yu Su, Shu He and Baili Moqing to the junction of the Beast Taming Mountain and the West Mountain Peak.
The junction of the two mountains is separated by a dark and dense bush, with all kinds of strange trees growing everywhere, which hides dangers.
There are thorny vines covered with thorns as long as fingers, spider hunting trees occupied by poisonous spiders, and ice water trees that poisonous snakes love to entangle...
Shu He's eyes were shining as he watched.
There are many plants growing in the bushes. They are all rare and valuable things that are rarely seen in the outside world and have high medicinal value!
What a pity, it would be great if they could all move out.
"This is the border between the Beastmaster Tribe and the West Mountain Tribe's territories. This place is considered uninhabited. Once someone enters, there's basically no one left."
Yu Su looked ahead at the dangerous place, fear forming in his eyes. Then, he saw Yazhi, and remembering how she had returned safely from this no-man's land so many times, the fear in his eyes turned into admiration.
"Of course, Yazhi is an exception." She has been to Xishan Peak several times, and each time she took this route, and each time, she returned safely.
"Master Yu, let's just send him here." Yazhi said. Going further in would not be a path that Yu Su could take.
Yu Su nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Just after Shu He and the other two entered the bushes full of danger, a figure came running from the direction of the Beast Taming Mountain.
Yu Su was shocked when he saw the newcomer. "Young Clan Leader? Why are you here?"
"Where are the people?!" Li Ziru held his shoulders and asked anxiously.
"Who are they? Is it Madam He and the others? They have already gone to West Mountain Peak." Doesn't the young clan leader already know about this?
"Yazhi went in with them?" Li Ziru's brows showed urgency and worry.
"Yes, Yazhi led the way, and they went together to find the antidote for the cartilage grass."
As soon as Yu Su finished speaking, Li Ziru rushed into the bushes. "No, I have to go in and get her back!"
Seeing this, Yu Su quickly grabbed him, his back covered in sweat. "Young Clan Leader, are you crazy? This is no man's land. Anyone who goes in will die!"
"Ke Yazhi went in!" Li Ziru wanted to break free from him and bring the girl back.
"Yazhi will be fine!" Yu Su held him tightly. "This isn't her first time going in here. She's well aware of the dangers here."
"What?" Li Ziru was stunned.
Did she go in? And did she come out safely?
How is this possible? This is a place of death that everyone in the Beastmaster Clan knows about, a place of death that has no way out!
Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Yu Su loosened his grip and asked, "Young Clan Leader, are you and Yazhi very familiar with each other?"
Yazhi had been studying medicine with Yu Su for over three years, and he had never heard her mention Li Ziru! He had thought they didn't know each other.
But now it seems that these two people have a special relationship!
Pain and guilt flashed across Li Ziru's brows.
Did he know her? He didn't know either. That girl probably wished she had never known him, right?
On the other side, Yazhi, Shuhe and the other two entered the dim bushes. Along the way, snakes, insects, rats, ants, exotic flowers and plants were countless as far as the eye could see.
Shu He has been in an excited state. She stared at those herbs and some poisonous insects with great medicinal value, and she almost drooled!
Suddenly, a very familiar plant appeared in her eyes, causing her to stop uncontrollably.
