You just know~ Xiao Anzi on the side looked at Su Yin with contempt again, but Su Yin ignored him and was still waiting for Xi Chen's answer.
Xi Chen glanced at Su Yin and slowly stopped. Gently wiping the corner of his mouth, Xi Chen pulled out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and said to Su Yin, "Read it yourself."
What? Smiling, he took the piece of white paper from Xi Chen's hand with a doubtful look. There were only these four big characters written on the white paper, and at the end of the paper was a symbol unique to the Xi family.
"Is the journey blocked?" Su Yin softly read out the words on the letter.
"The journey is blocked? What does this mean?" Su Yin looked at Xi Chen in confusion.
Xi Chen said calmly, "According to reliable intelligence, the first group of people who entered the Extinct Jungle were attacked by a large number of spirit beasts, resulting in heavy casualties."
"What?" Su Yin asked in surprise, "How could this happen? Did something happen?"
Xiao Anzi, standing nearby, took over the conversation, "This is all the fault of those ignorant people. They don't even consider their own worth. They knew the ancient jade was about to be revealed and the spirit beast was furious, but they still insisted on continuing to explore the extinct jungle to find out what was going on. Now, something bad has happened."
"Is that so?" Su Yin frowned. "Are they seriously injured?"
"I'm not sure," Xi Chen said. "According to my information, the spirit beasts in the Extinct Jungle have become extremely angry due to the harassment from humans. To avoid the spirit beasts, they have no choice but to hide in a ruin of their ancestors in the jungle."
"Ancestral relics? What place is this?" Su Yin asked.
"Hundreds of years ago, some people settled in the Extinct Jungle and set up a powerful barrier to resist the powerful spiritual beasts in the jungle. I think they must have discovered this place by accident and are taking shelter here temporarily." Xi Chen explained.
Su Yin nodded, but a wave of unease welled up inside her. There had probably been over a hundred people who had gone in before, and now they'd suffered heavy casualties from the spirit beasts. Back then, she'd been left in a state of distress by a few spirit beasts, nearly dying. Thinking of the hundreds of wild beasts waiting for her in the forest right now, Su Yin couldn't help but swallow slowly.
"Don't worry." Seeing the fear in Su Yin's eyes, Xi Chen comforted her, "According to the information from our predecessors, I have found a safe route that leads directly to the ruins. With the protection of the barrier there, we can discuss countermeasures. There will be no danger."
Looking at Xi Chen's relaxed expression, Su Yin couldn't help but be infected by his emotions and nodded slowly.
Xiao Anzi at the side interrupted and said, "Speaking of those people, I get angry. They were obviously afraid that you would snatch the treasure from them, so they rushed to the jungle without stopping. Now that they find danger and they can't handle it at all, they all turn to you and ask for your protection. These fence-sitters are really, really... hateful!" Xiao Anzi's face flushed red, and he finally thought of an adjective, and then he cursed.
The lingering atmosphere of fear was instantly shattered by Xiao Anzi's words. Su Yin couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere lightened slightly. Even she could guess what they were thinking. She had originally thought she'd have a chance to obtain the treasure, but it seemed she couldn't even get past the spirit beast, let alone compete with the three major families.
At this moment, they were probably still pursuing their own selfish agenda. On the surface, they were seeking the protection of the remaining two families, but in reality, they were hoping to snatch the treasure unexpectedly. But Dongcheng Yao and Xichen were no ordinary men. Now it seemed like this was a good show that would be a shame to miss.
