If Yu Pixiu didn't understand at first, after Lan Yao's explanation, he understood in an instant.
Gu Zixiao's reason for not reminding him was quite simple.
Anyway, with him around, if anything happens, he'll be there to cover for you.
So why not take this opportunity to let everyone get some exercise?
Especially those newcomers who are ignorant and arrogant, as long as they know how terrifying the outside world really is.
Only by letting them know how terrible the outside world is can we prevent lives from being sacrificed in vain.
After figuring this out, the jade Pixiu decisively shut up.
Lan Yao played with Gu Zixiao's fingers and asked, "Should we make it a little more difficult for them?"
Gu Zixiao refused without hesitation: "No. The current difficulty level is already the highest for them."
If the difficulty were increased further, Gu Zixiao felt she might not be able to handle it.
Lan Yao scoffed and muttered under her breath, "This is so boring."
Gu Zixiao quickly said, "Wife, once there's no one else around, I'd be happy for you to upgrade me all by yourself."
I don't want to waste my wife's good intentions on anyone else.
Lan Yao raised an eyebrow: "We'll see when the time comes."
Lan Yao then fell silent, watching as the people scrambled to avoid one trap after another.
When they reached the finish line on the left, an even bigger pit awaited them.
Some of the newcomers couldn't stand it at the time.
"Damn it! What's going on?"
"Damn it. Didn't we just confirm that this was a way out? Isn't the person we're looking for right here? What's going on?"
"People always say that older people are reliable, that older people are reliable. Is that really what older people are like?"
The old man did not defend himself against the newcomers' accusations; instead, he looked at them with the eyes of someone who looked at someone mentally challenged.
"There's nothing to talk about with these newborn kids."
"They seem kind of stupid."
"It's definitely not advisable to come out without direct training."
"There are so few young people like them."
"Alright, it's just that the higher-ups want to spoil them. Otherwise, what new recruit would act like this right after starting out?"
The person in charge frowned, looking displeased: "What's going on now? Do you want to start fighting amongst yourselves?"
The person in charge looked at Gu Zixiao: "Gu Zixiao, is the situation serious?"
Gu Zixiao: "For the two of us, it's definitely not serious. It might be a little more serious for them, but it's not life-threatening. We can give it a try."
With Gu Zixiao saying this, the person in charge felt much more at ease and quickly urged everyone to work together.
The elderly had no choice but to work hard and patiently, and after a long time, they finally solved the problem in this place.
Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the cave began to collapse.
Everyone: ...
No way!
Are you kidding me?!
Everyone covered their heads and started running, looking terrible. Even in this situation, they didn't run around recklessly.
Gu Zixiao felt the time was right, so she guided the group through several turns and arrived at another place.
If we had chosen this spot at the three-way intersection, we would have chosen the middle road.
The middle road is safer than the other roads, and it leads directly to the lair of the tomb's owner.
The owner of the tomb never expected that Gu Zixiao and his group could arrive at its location so quickly.
It then unleashed its power, throwing all sorts of yin energy and spirits at those people without restraint.
The main reason is that it released all the ghosts from the previous tomb to deal with Gu Zixiao and his group.
As a result, none of the ghosts returned.
The tomb's owner was quite annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it, as he had almost nothing of value left.
It originally intended to use those humans it had lured in as bait.
But for some reason, its plan to use those humans as bait seems to be failing.
This infuriated the tomb's owner.
Gu Zixiao seemed to sense the emotions of the tomb's owner, and he quietly said to Lan Yao, "'It' seems to be angry."
Lan Yao gave an "oh" and a faint smile in her eyes: "Isn't that because you deliberately sabotaged it and prevented its plan from succeeding?"
Gu Zixiao: "Where did I deliberately do anything bad? Isn't this the method you told me, my wife? You're so smart, my wife."
Lan Yao: "I am smart. But I also need a husband who is just as smart as me, who trusts me, cooperates with me, and is on the same wavelength as me."
Gu Zixiao couldn't help but smile, but he still coughed lightly and asked knowingly, "Then, who is that person?"
"How would I know? Whoever I marry is who I am," Lan Yao said, feigning ignorance.
Gu Zixiao chuckled and said smugly, "Who else could it be? Of course it's me."
Lan Yao: "Then why did you ask me that just now?"
Gu Zixiao looked somewhat resentful: "I just wanted to hear more from you, my wife."
Lan Yao pinched his fingers, a half-smile on her face: "Want to hear it? Then after this mission is completed, when we get home, I'll tell you exactly how you want to hear it."
Lan Yao now understands what the strategy of "giving a stick and then a sweet treat" means.
Instead, he would praise Gu Zixiao from time to time.
This made Gu Zixiao even more motivated.
Upon hearing Lan Yao's words, Gu Zixiao's eyes lit up, and he assured her, "Then let's hurry up and finish the mission so we can go home."
Lan Yao naturally knew what he wanted to do and stopped him.
"No way. It's quite interesting to see them training so hard."
"Alright then. Let them work a little longer."
Everyone: ...
Then I really thank you both.
So, what exactly are you two doing here?
If you're here to show off your love, could you please not come next time?
It looks infuriating.
However, neither the elderly nor the newlyweds dare to say these things.
So they unleashed all their anger on the tomb's owner.
As a result, the tomb's owner was extremely unlucky and was quickly wiped out by these people.
After the tomb's owner was eliminated, Gu Zixiao had Lan Yao provide the coordinates to the person in charge.
Once the person in charge knew the coordinates, he naturally sent the other elderly people to rescue the archaeologists who had been tricked into the trap.
The elderly people quickly located the trapped archaeologists based on the coordinates provided by Lan Yao.
Even though the rescue team arrived quickly, several archaeologists still died, and half of them were seriously injured.
So, with Lan Yao's tacit approval, Gu Zixiao took out the recovery potion that Lan Yao had given him.
It's a diluted recovery potion; those who are seriously injured should drink it quickly.
Those who were seriously injured gradually recovered after drinking the recovery potion given by Gu Zixiao.
Otherwise, given their current conditions, even if they were transported out of the crater and taken to the hospital for rescue, they might die on the way.
