Gu Xin pulled Cheng Huaijin into a clothing store across from the pharmacy, and when they came out, both of them looked completely different.
Cheng Huaijin was increasingly amazed by Gu Xin's abilities; in just a short while, they had completely replaced her.
The other person was still getting the medicine. The two of them, carrying their bundles, walked slowly and soon caught up with the man with the large mole who had just come out of the pharmacy.
Big Mole didn't realize that Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin were following him. In this land, there were many people like Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin dressed as businessmen and carrying large bundles, so they weren't conspicuous.
After leaving the city, Da Mozi headed south.
Just then, a caravan was heading in that direction. Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin followed behind the caravan at a leisurely pace, looking like they were part of the caravan.
After traveling for an hour, the caravan went in a different direction from the big mole, and Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin continued to follow at a distance.
The large mole became alert and stopped in its tracks.
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin passed by him, and now that they saw him clearly, they were even more certain.
Cheng Huaijin shook his money pouch, which was full of gold coins. He put on an honest face and asked in the local language, "Is this the road to Yunhai Tribe? That caravan was a bunch of swindlers, they didn't even take us to Yunhai Tribe! It's infuriating! Brother, do you know the way? If you do, I'll give you this bag of gold coins as a reward."
Hearing the clattering of the gold coins, and glancing at the large bundles the two men were carrying, Big Mole's eyes gleamed with greed.
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin exchanged a glance. Well, if the enemy is willing to cooperate, there's nothing we can do!
Big Mole, carrying several packets of medicine, laughed and said, "It's easy to get lost here. Let me take you there! But what business are you going to the Cloud Sea Tribe for?"
Cheng Huaijin: "What other business can we do? Gold, of course! We've been making gold for generations, and we're planning to find work in the Yunhai tribe! We've heard that the king of the Yunhai tribe is particularly fond of goldware, so we'll go and cater to his tastes, which will also be a way to find a place that can protect us."
Big Mole's eyes lit up. If he was looking for a safe place to do gold business, he'd definitely be carrying a lot of gold! Goodness, two big bags like that. If they took them back, his brothers could skip a year of work.
To lower Cheng Huaijin and Gu Xin's guard, the man with the large mole didn't even ask what they were carrying, nor did he offer to help.
He led Cheng Huaijin and Gu Xin to where they were currently staying.
Whether he can defeat the two men is one thing, but if he does and steals their gold, whether he can keep it all by himself is another matter entirely.
So the safest way is to bring them back. With the brothers there, they won't be afraid of those two guys.
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin were more than happy to see him think that way, and they cooperated very well along the way, asking how much longer it would take after walking for a while, and asking how much longer it would take after walking for a while.
The big mole was very patient, considering the gold.
After crossing a sand dune, Big Mole pointed to the stream not far ahead: "We're almost there, just past that side."
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin exchanged a glance. Gu Xin made a gesture, and Cheng Huaijin gave a thumbs up.
Then the two of them tossed their things aside, and Gu Xin took action.
She leaped up and kicked the man with the large mole in the back, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed his neck, giving him no chance to react. Her chokehold move made the man's face turn purple.
