Chapter 84 Your attitude is wrong

"Wait, together."

"Oh, what?" Xie Yu felt something strange when he walked out, and then he thought, "No, Uncle Dong, you want to come with me to save someone?" Xie Yu stepped back and walked west side by side with Qian Zedong.

"Yes, together." Qian Zedong gave him an affirmative answer.

"Oh, that's not right, that's the west!" Xie Yu raised his head and looked at the sun, "The sun rises from the west?" Although Xie Yu was full of doubts, he did not stop. He was more than happy to have someone help him find Youyou.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you going to save him or not?"

"Save her, of course, she's my only treasure."

"So you want a few more?"

"No way, you've been set up for me." Xie Yu jumped up and down.

"You wouldn't dare!" Qian Zedong snorted coldly.

"Strange, really strange?" Xie Yu looked at Qian Zedong suspiciously.

"Why is it strange?"

"Your attitude is wrong. Do you know my Youyou?"

"Guess?" Qian Zedong smiled mysteriously. No matter how Xie Yu asked, he remained silent, which made Xie Yu so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Yun Xiang and Lin Ziyu were the luckiest ones, as half of their bodies were exposed, so they woke up first. Yun Xiang's aircraft was ahead of Xie Yu at the time, so she couldn't pinpoint Xie Yu's location and had to conduct a large-scale search.

"Yuzu!"

"Xie Yu!" The two were excited and relieved to see that each other was safe and sound.

"Why don't you wait for me to be a hero and save the beauty?" Xie Yu was happy, but he couldn't help complaining that he, a hero, could never find a place to use his skills with his fiancée.

"What? Do you still want her to get hurt?" Qian Zedong asked sinisterly behind Xie Yu.

Huh? Is that what he meant? Xie Yu was about to retort unconvinced, but the feeling of disobedience came over him again. He quickly pulled Yun Xiang over and pointed at Qian Zedong and asked, "Do you know... him?" Yun Xiang shook his head. He had never seen him.

"Think carefully, have you ever met the leader of the Five Coins Mercenary Group on Chaihe Star?"

"Captain Qian Zedong?" Yun Xiang looked surprised, then walked around Xie Yu and asked, "Do you know Uncle Qian?"

"You are much more polite than that brat. You are worthy of being Bai Tingsong's grandson! - That man is always good at teaching children." Qian Zedong paused before adding that there was nostalgia, reluctance, and perhaps gratitude, etc. It was too complicated for Yun Xiang to distinguish for a moment.

"Do you know my grandfather?" It was the first time Yun Xiang heard someone mention his grandfather, and such a famous figure at that, and he couldn't help but become curious about his grandfather's past. Xie Yu, who was standing beside him, was also listening with great interest.

"Your grandfather and I are old acquaintances. The Uncle Qian you mentioned is my fifth brother, Qian Zezhong."

"Uncle Qian left Chaihe Star last year and his whereabouts are unknown. Is he okay?" Yun Xiang did not ask about Qian Zezhong's specific whereabouts. Everyone has his own things to do, and it is enough to know that everything is fine.

"Okay, now that the last mission is complete, I'll naturally take on the next one." Yun Xiang always felt that there was something else behind Uncle Dong's words, but he couldn't guess what it meant for the moment. "Can you tell me about Grandpa?"

"Save people first." Qian Zedong didn't agree or disagree.

Yun Xiang also knew that saving people was the most important thing, so he immediately stopped talking. Finally, everyone was rescued, and Yun Xiang hurried to find Qian Zedong, but Qian Zedong had already left with his men.

"Yuzu—"

"Xie Yu, I'm fine. I'm just curious about what kind of person Grandpa is. Grandpa is obviously not an awakened one, but he has an intersection with this person. It can be seen that the friendship is very deep, so I think-"

"If we want to know more, we can just check! We don't have to ask him to tell us."

"That's right. Judging from his attitude, he doesn't want to tell me. Let's let Ajincha, he's the best at this."

"Well, relax and don't worry. Even if we can't find it, he will come to you in person when the time is right." Yun Xiang may not be able to see clearly because he is in the situation, but Xie Yu can see it clearly. Qian Zedong must have a purpose in choosing to meet Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang returned to his thoughts and helped apply medicine to the injured. After some tidying up, everyone started looking for water.

"Uncle Dong gave it to you." Xie Yu took out the blueprint that Qian Zedong left for Yun Xiang. Yun Xiang opened it and saw that it was a precious mutant bottle tree.

The bottle tree is officially called the spindle tree. It is thick in the middle and thin at both ends, and its trunk is like a radish. When rain and drought occur alternately, all the green leaves on the branches at the top of the tree will wither, and then red flowers will bloom. It looks like a huge vase with fresh flowers, so it is called the bottle tree.

The mutated bottle tree is nearly 30 meters tall, similar to its pre-mutation size, but its diameter has grown significantly, reaching a maximum of 10 meters. During the rainy season, its roots act like countless straws, absorbing rainwater and storing any excess in its plump trunk for use during the dry season.

Hunters in the desert often seek out bottle trees for water. The map clearly marked the location of the bottle tree, not far from them, a half-day's journey. Yun was hesitant about whether to use it. She didn't like owing favors, especially from strangers. But after Xie Yu's analysis, she felt they would have many opportunities to interact in the future, so she decided to pay it forward.

The map Qian Zedong had given them was correct; their mistake was overestimating their strength. The journey was filled with thrills and dangers, with the stronger ones fleeing for their lives and the weaker ones being overwhelmed. They witnessed firsthand the entire process of a mutant hunting falcon capturing a cobra king.

The mutant falcon first used its speed advantage to catch up with the cobra king, and then slapped the opponent violently with its large wings. The cobra king puffed up its face and raised its front half to bite the falcon again and again. The falcon slapped the snake king until he could not get up.

The mutated hunting falcon is a hundred times more ferocious than the mutant eye snake king, which attacks each other when hungry. Seeing this, the crowd fled forward. Seeing that they were not challenging, the hunting falcon gave up the pursuit. It is a high-class mutant beast.

"Go, poisonous scorpion!" Chu Xu wiped his sweat, "Look at this big tail, a mutated yellow fat-tailed scorpion!" Chu Xu only had time to say one sentence before he immediately threw himself into the battle.

There's no way around it. The yellow fat-tailed scorpion is ferocious by nature, and doesn't recognize its own relatives. Upon seeing its prey, it pounces directly on it and attacks with its tail stinger. Its stinger is its most powerful weapon, capable of injuring a person at best, or even killing them with its poison. It's a very formidable mutant beast.

There were hundreds of them blocking their way at the moment, each 30 centimeters long, dark brown in color, with a dark black tail section, which showed the location of the venom sac and sting.

Before the mutation, this guy was nocturnal, but after the mutation, he was completely unaffected by the daytime. This led people to speculate that this guy might just dislike the daytime, rather than being afraid of it. In short, he is difficult to deal with.

Yun Xiang's 'Three Changes' defensive talisman did not pose any danger to the yellow fat-tailed scorpion. The two were evenly matched. The yellow fat-tailed scorpion's poison could not infect the water shield, and the water shield could not poison it either.

Fortunately, its attack power was not as strong as the desert monitor lizard and giant centipede they had encountered before, and everyone still had the strength to fight back. The advantages of the experience in the underground palace for more than a month gradually emerged.
