Chapter 862: The Prince is Really Trapped



"Follow the ant colony." Xue Huan said.

What? Following the ant colony? That's courting death!

Eleven and the others were very surprised. Twelve asked, "Since Miss Xue knew how powerful the white-headed ants were, why did she follow them?"

Xue Huan patiently explained, "White-headed ants usually don't look back because they've eaten everything behind them. So, it's actually safer for us to follow them. Besides, aren't you going to look for the Red-Scaled Ganoderma? The Red-Scaled Ganoderma is a natural treasure, and there must be some exotic beasts guarding it. If the white-headed ants encounter the exotic beast guarding the Red-Scaled Ganoderma, and they start a fight, we might be able to snatch something from it."

After she said this, everyone reacted.

"Miss Xue is really thoughtful." Twelve exclaimed in admiration.

Yuan Xi put away his magic, carried Xue Huan on his back and walked out first, and Eleven and others hurriedly followed.

The fastest group of fifteen and sixteen still went ahead to explore the way. Although Xue Huan had said that it was safe to follow the white-headed ant colony, it was still necessary to explore the way for safety reasons.

The group of people followed the white-headed ant colony not too far away, and the white-headed ants actually became the ones clearing the way for them. The whole journey was very peaceful.

"There's a groundgrass over there. Help me pick it. Be careful not to damage its roots."

Xue Huan commands Fourteen.

While resting last night, she asked Yuan Xi for several medical books and identified all the herbs here. She found that most of them were also found in Zixiao Continent, but they were called differently there.

In this way, she quickly finished reading those medical books and wrote down all the medicines mentioned in them.

The Diluo grass that she had just instructed Fourteen to pick had detoxifying properties and was exactly the medicinal herb she needed. Now that she had encountered it, how could she let it go?

Fourteen had already been convinced by Xue Huan because of the previous incident with the white-headed ants, so he naturally obeyed her orders this time.

In addition to the ground grass, Xue Huan discovered several other valuable herbs, some of which she could use and some of which she could not.

Those medicinal herbs are usually located in hidden places, and some are no different from weeds. You may not be able to find them even if they are right in front of you.

But this is not a problem for Xue Huan at all, because under her spiritual sense scan, none of those herbs can escape her perception at all.

After a few times, Seventeen, who was good at medicine, couldn't help but admire her.

There were eight secret guards in the group. Fourteen of them had lost their temper with Xue Huan. Fifteenth and sixteenth avoided being attacked by the white-headed ants head-on because of her reminder and saved their lives. Seventeenth was impressed by Xue Huan's ability to accurately identify herbs. In a short period of time, she had won the hearts of four people.

The other four people were also grateful to her.

She has become the second central figure in the team besides Yuan Xi.

In this regard, Yuan Xi not only did not feel that his position was threatened, but instead felt proud and happy.

Following the white-headed ant colony and picking up scraps along the way, the group finally came to a mountain. The ant colony actually bypassed the mountain and went in another direction.

Xue Huan said, "Alright, let's go check out that mountain ahead. White-headed ants are afraid of fire, and they're avoiding this mountain, which means it's probably a volcano. And doesn't the red-scaled fungus prefer to grow in dry, sunny places? There's probably no place in this valley drier than this, right?"

When they reached the mountain, they could clearly feel the temperature rising, as if they had suddenly walked from autumn to summer.

Xue Huan felt the heat and found it quite strange. She had not felt cold or hot like ordinary people for a long time. Because cultivators have reached a high level of cultivation, they are no longer afraid of cold or heat. Their bodies are surrounded by spiritual energy and cannot be invaded by the severe cold or heat from the outside world.

At first she found it somewhat novel, but after a while she couldn't stand it anymore and started fanning herself with her hands.

Yuan Xi took out a piece of cold jade from the Sumeru Ring and handed it to her. The jade was the size of a pigeon egg, snow-white, round, and translucent, as if it was carved from ice crystals. Holding it in the hand was like holding a piece of ice, but without the biting coldness of ice, it felt only cool.

Xue Huan played with it in her hand, and then put it on her face and neck, like a little girl who got a new toy.

She even playfully held Bing Yuanxi's neck and asked him with a smile, "Is it cold?"

Yuan Xi was shocked and realized that he was so defenseless against her, exposing his fatal weakness, his neck, to her reach. However, even though he realized it, he could not raise his guard at all.

Listening to her laughing voice and feeling her gentle breath against his ear, he felt as if all the dust in his heart had been swept away, and all the heavy and dark things had gone away from him.

He also replied with a smile: "I'm not hot, just take care of yourself."

Xue Huan: ...She was just playing a prank, and had no intention of caring about him or sharing the coolness with him.

But there is no need to explain it again.

Eleven and Twelve behind him looked at each other, their eyes expressing the same meaning of "The prince is really trapped".

Twelve thought about it one more thing. If the prince was not interested, it would be fine. But if he was, it would be like handing over his life. He couldn't help but feel worried, especially when he saw that Miss Xue didn't seem to have much interest in the prince.

He was really worried that the prince would be disappointed and hurt emotionally.

I just hope Miss Xue can live up to the prince's love.

Xue Huan had no idea what Twelve was thinking. She lay comfortably on Yuan Xi's back, acting as a tour guide, directing him which way to go.

Yuan Xi had no doubts about her. He went wherever she pointed, not worrying at all that she would deliberately lead him astray or into danger.

Xue Huan couldn't help but sigh. When they first met, this man had a terrifying look on his face, ready to kill any god or Buddha he met. How come he has become so obedient now?

He was so well behaved that she wanted to pinch his ears.

I don’t know if he will give it to me.

Finally, the group came to a cave. The cave was obviously very deep and it was pitch black inside. From the outside, it looked like a big mouth ready to devour people.

"Let's stop here." Xue Huan said, getting off Yuan Xi's back.

Before, the group followed her instructions. On the way, she released her spiritual sense to scan everywhere, but did not find the existence of Red Scale Ganoderma.

Now, only this last one remains.

Xue Huan stood at the entrance of the cave, closed her eyes, and condensed her consciousness into a thin thread, extending infinitely into the cave.

Seeing this, Eleven and the others were puzzled and didn't understand what she was doing.

The people in this world follow the path of martial arts training, which strengthens their bodies. As their cultivation level increases, their five senses will also be enhanced. Their eyesight, hearing, smell, etc. will be much stronger than those of ordinary people.

But this kind of perception cannot be compared with spiritual consciousness.
