Chapter 737: Easton’s King (II)
Hearing Sisi’s arrangement and analysis, Long Haochen’s eyes flickered with surprise, “Looks like you already came prepared!”
The charming smile on Sisi’s face stiffened, letting out a light sigh, as she once again revealed some distress, “Ever since my homeland got destroyed, I have been incessantly thinking about rescuing my family, racking my brains on the issue. The method I have just spoken about should be the most feasible.”
Reaching this point, Sisi suddenly kneeled in front of Long Haochen. Her movement being too sudden immediately gave Long Haochen a terrible start.
“Miss Sisi, what are you doing?” Long Haochen wanted to help her up, but Sisi lifted her hand to stop him.
She looked at Long Haochen with her misty eyes and said, “Big brother Long, once we enter the den of king of Easton, I have a request. If we get discovered, I’ll draw them away. Take advantage of that opportunity to save my family. If I can lay down my life in exchange for my entire family, my death would be worth it all. I’ll never forget about your great kindness even when my soul ventures into the afterlife.”
As she said that, she bowed towards Long Haochen.
Long Haochen obviously would not let her actually bow. He quickly helped her up, “Sisi, leave it up to me to draw away the enemies. I don’t know your family members, so even if I do see them, they might not necessarily leave with me. Moreover, my cultivation is greater than yours. I’ll have a greater chance at surviving if I draw away Easton’s king. Not to mention, I’m a male. How can I let you do something so risky? It’s just that I’m a little worried right now. How are we supposed to enter cave secretively without his pets discovering us?”
Sisi thought about it and said, “There is a special medicine from my clan. It’s called the Cloves of Intoxication. Once you light it, it can temporarily incapacitate the people who smell it. If you don’t attack them, it’ll take them an hour at the very least to recover. If we can find this special medicine, we don’t have to kill anyone and we’ll still be able to enter the cave. If I remember correctly, there might be some Cloves of Intoxication in a cave nearby. I just don’t know whether it’s ready to be harvested.”
Long Haochen nodded, “If that’s the case, let’s go find it. Do you still remember the exact location of that cave?”
Sisi thought about it and said, “I can try. Thank you, big brother Long.” As she said that, she released a pair of icy blue spiritual wings and smiled at Long Haochen sweetly. She unfurled her wings and flew away. She instinctively glances at the six golden wings on Long Haochen’s back and there was some jealousy in her eyes.
Long Haochen looked back at her and smiled, unfurling his wings and following behind her.
Sisi first ascended into the sky, but she did not fly too high, only sticking to the treetops. She looked around for a while, before looking at the brilliant sun. Only then did she wave at Long Haochen, flying off after gaining her bearings.
The two of them flew for roughly fifteen minutes. Sisi descended slowly with Long Haochen, landing beside an exceptionally tall sequoia.
Below the tree was a small mound. Sisi said happily, “It should be here. This red sequoia is the best marker. If I’ve remembered correctly, there’s Cloves of Intoxication growing in the cave behind this mound.”
As she said that, she quickly drifted forwards, arriving on the other side of the mound with Long Haochen. It seemed no different from the other side, but when he swept the place with his senses, he immediately discovered that below the surface vegetation was a cave as wide as a man. The cave plunged into the earth. He also discovered that there seemed to be a magic array at the entrance of the cave. The reason why he had failed to discover anything from outside was because of the magic array. It covered everything up. Perhaps it was extremely tough as well.
Long Haochen’s soul had already reached a great level. If he inspected something at such a close distance, his senses would not be able to fool him. He would not be wrong.
Sisi arrived before the cave and pointed at its entrance gently with her right hand. Immediately, there was a flash and the shrubbery parted slowly.
Sisi looked back at Long Haochen and smiled, “After I discovered this place last time, I was afraid that wild beasts would damage the special medicine, so I used a small ploy to hide it.”
Long Haochen nodded, “I’ll guard the entrance. You go in and check whether there’s any Cloves of Intoxication.”
“Alright,” Sisi agreed before hurrying into the cave.
Long Haochen closed his eyes and powerful soulforce quickly dispersed into the surroundings. He sensed for all activity in the surroundings. He pressed against a tree in front of him with his right hand as he flickered with multicolored light. He was using his evolved domain to amplify his soul, and then using the mysteries of controlling life to use the tree and the natural environment to strengthen his senses.
Before long, Sisi emerged from the cave and she carefully held a herb with both hands.
There was still some soil on the herb. Sisi used a piece of cloth to wrap the bottom of the herb. The herb was around a third of a meter long and completely pink. Three small, pure-white flowers grew at the top. They really did seem like cloves.
Looking at Long Haochen who pressed his hand against the tree, Sisi hurried over, “Big brother Long, I’ve succeeded. Look, these are Cloves of Intoxication.”
Long Haochen’s response was rather sluggish. After hearing her voice, he paused before turning around to look at her.
Studying the Cloves of Intoxication in Sisi’s hands, Long Haochen asked, “Are these enough?”
Sisi nodded and said, “The roots of the Cloves of Intoxication can nullify its effects. We just need to suck on a piece of it when we use it. Big brother Long, there’s still two hours until noon. You were wrapped in quite a great battle with that pet earlier, so why don’t we rest for a day? We can enter the cave tomorrow.”
Although that was what she said, she was unable to hide the worry in her eyes.
Long Haochen said, “If I want to help someone, I’ll help them all the way. Let’s head off right now.” According to the mission that the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had given him, not only did he have to assist Sisi save her family, he needed to gain her trust as well, so he could obtain the treasure that had devastated her clan.
When he had initially received this mission, Long Haochen felt very troubled. Even if he would struggle to complete the first part of the mission, he could do his best at the very least. However, the latter part went against his morals, but now, he seemed to have gained an idea on how to approach it.
Sisi looked at Long Haochen and bowed deeply. Her large, beautiful eyes were misty, “Big brother Long, we’ve only been acquainted recently, yet you assist me with everything you have. I will never forget this. If we succeed this time, I will return this favor ten times, or a hundred times over. As long as we can save our family, I’ll be willing to do anything for you.”
After she said that, she seemed to have lost control of her emotions. She immediately turned around and flew off, not up beyond the trees, but through the forest.
Sisi’s cultivation was not as great as Long Haochen’s, but she was still a mage of the eighth step. She could fly very quickly. At the same time, her flying technique was rather outstanding. Her speed was largely unaffected despite weaving between the trees.
The trees posed even less of a problem to Long Haochen. When he reached the second floor of the Tower of Eternity, he had practised his flying technique a lot. He had powerful senses as well, so he was able to remain thirty meters behind Sisi the entire time.
They flew quickly for roughly an hour. Sisi chose an extremely obscure route. Along the way, he discovered several large villages, but Sisi avoided them cleverly. Clearly, she already knew about their location.
From afar, a great mountain covered in greenery entered Long Haochen’s senses. It was not particularly tall, less than a thousand meters in height, but when they arrived near it, the vitality of nature there was at least three times denser than before.
Sisi slowed down and arrived beside Long Haochen. She said softly, “Big brother Long, from now onwards, we have to conceal our auras. The king of Easton probably hasn’t begun his midday nap yet. His senses are extremely powerful. We need to be a little more careful. His cave is located half way up the Easton Mountain near here. After we approach the Easton Mountain, I’ll light the Cloves of Intoxication.”
As she said that, she passed a thin root to Long Haochen and signaled him to place it in his mouth.
Long Haochen obliged.
With the root in his mouth, a fresh, cool feeling immediately spread through his entire body. It was pleasant.
Sisi now moved with great control over her speed. Long Haochen radiated with faint, golden light which enveloped him and Sisi. Sisi glanced at him in surprise and joy, because she felt like she had become a ray of sunlight. Apart from the aura of light that was pure like the sun, there was nothing else.
Long Haochen smiled and pointed ahead, indicating that she could set off now.
Sisi traveled very carefully. She continued to fly for around fifteen minutes before directly stowing her spiritual wings away and landing on the ground. Although she was a mage, her body was nourished by spiritual energy so she was able to move rather quickly. Long Haochen took the lead to open a path for her. The vegetation here was too lush, so it was rather difficult for Sisi to travel through, as she was a mage.
"Travel fifty meters forward, ten meters to the left, then another twenty meters forward, followed by fifteen meters to the right. Slow down a little…"
Sisi followed behind Long Haochen and constantly directed him. Long Haochen cooperated very well. Under Sisi's nervous attention, they made no mistake. However, Sisi's degree of familiarity with the Easton Mountain had surprised Long Haochen.
