Chapter 384 Manluo, come back with me
Xiao Nanyan curled the corners of his lips slightly and didn't say anything else.
He waved at Han Xiao, signaling him to lead his troops to follow.
Then, he and Chu Jin walked up the mountain path one after the other. The black robes and red clothes intertwined in the morning light, and there was a strange tacit understanding between them.
When they reached the section of road where poisonous insects were rampant three days ago, a whistle suddenly sounded in the forest. Soon after, the familiar buzzing sound was heard again in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.
Immediately afterwards, dense swarms of green-tailed Gu emerged from the branches and leaves, and the emerald green swarm of insects once again covered the sky and the sun, and rushed straight towards the soldiers of Apocalypse.
"alert!"
Han Xiao shouted sternly, and at the same time quickly took out the vanilla bottle from his arms, pulled out the cork and threw it into the air.
The medicinal powder spread in the air, carrying a crisp scent of grass and trees, forming a light blue mist. Wherever the mist passed, the green-tailed Gu seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and flapped their wings and retreated.
"rush!"
Xiao Nanyue seized the opportunity, swung his sword, and rushed to the front.
The Apocalypse soldiers followed closely behind, and with the help of the protective circle formed by the powder, they quickly broke through the swarm's blockade.
Although the Green Tail Gu was still circling and roaring around, it never dared to approach the mountain path and could only watch them pass through this dangerous road.
Seeing that Xiao Nanyue and his group had successfully passed the poisonous insect section, Chu Jin turned around and climbed onto a huge rock a meter high on the side of the road, and swept his sharp eyes into the depths of the dense forest.
The wind blew from the eastern valley, carrying with it a faint and strange fragrance.
Chu Jin's nostrils twitched slightly, and his gaze was fixed on the dense forest in front of him on the left. A wisp of very light green smoke was floating among the treetops there, as thin as a gossamer. If you didn't look closely, it would almost be covered by the morning mist.
Chu Jin frowned slightly, then chuckled softly:
"Humph, still playing this trick."
He knew that someone had obviously lit some Gu-attracting incense there, and used today's wind direction to attract the Green Tail Gu.
Chu Jin lowered his head and instructed the Soul Killer behind him:
"Wait where you are, don't wander around!"
As he spoke, he took out a herb medicine bottle from his pouch and handed it to Soul Killer:
"If a swarm of insects approaches, continue to spray. I will be back soon."
After he finished speaking, Chu Jin said no more. He jumped off the boulder like a flash of red lightning, touched a few bushes with his toes, and ran in the direction of the wisp of green smoke.
Little Chu Yue enjoyed the feeling of flying very much. His eyes were wide open with excitement. He nestled obediently in Chu Jin's arms and looked around.
In the dense forest, Manluo was sprinkling poison-inducing incense powder into the firewood pile. The blue-gray powder fell on the dry branches, emitting a strange sweet fragrance. Then, the smoke slowly spread towards the direction of the mountain path.
She raised her chin towards Xie Zhan beside her, looking very proud:
"If I work harder, I'll make sure Xiao Nanyan and the others are defeated."
Xie Zhan's eyes were filled with amazement:
"Manluo, you are indeed capable. Just this packet of powder can repel 20,000 soldiers of Tianqi. If it were someone else, they would probably rack their brains but still not be able to come up with such a brilliant trick."
Manluo became even more proud of being praised. She put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest:
"That's right! When it comes to using poison, there's no one better than me in all of Nanzhao. Even if Xiao Nanyan is a good fighter, he'll have to admit defeat when he encounters my Gu-attracting Incense."
Xie Zhan said softly:
"Let's just be patient here for another seven days. When he withdraws his troops, you will be a great hero of Nan Zhao."
"What's the point of being a meritorious official? I'm just helping Xiyan."
Manluo chuckled and patted Xie Zhan on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, seven days is nothing. I will defend this place to the very end and will never let Xiao Nanyan and the others reach the top of the mountain!"
Xie Zhan looked at the bright and flamboyant woman in front of him, his eyes filled with countless little stars.
He took off his cloak and stepped forward to gently put it on her:
"It's cold in the mountains. You're still wearing too little. Don't catch a cold."
Just as the cloak was placed on Manluo's shoulders, a sinister roar suddenly came from behind the tree:
"Xie Zhan, take your dirty hands away and don't touch her!"
Xie Zhan and Manluo were both startled and turned their heads suddenly to look - Chu Jin had been standing under the tree at some point, his clothes as red as blood, but his eyes were burning with rage, staring intently at Xie Zhan's hand on Manluo's shoulder.
Manluo's eyes trembled violently, and she subconsciously took a few steps back:
"Chu, Chu Jin? Why...why are you here?"
Then, her eyes fell on the chubby little face in Chu Jin's arms, and all the words were stuck in her throat.
That face that looks like a smaller version of Chu Jin is clearly her son Yue'er.
After not seeing him for many days, he has grown so big. He is as delicate and cute as a piece of jade.
At this moment, her son was sucking his chubby white fingers. When he saw Manluo, he suddenly giggled, revealing a small baby tooth under his lip.
Manluo's heart felt like it had been scratched by a kitten, soft and itchy. She unconsciously took a step forward, her voice softening a lot:
"Chu Jin, you bastard, why did you bring him here? It's so dangerous here..."
Chu Jin snorted coldly and held the child tighter in his arms, as if the child was his treasure.
"If I hadn't brought him here, how would I know you'd abandoned your husband and children to flirt with another man in this dense forest?"
Xie Zhan finally came to his senses and angrily said, "Chu Jin, why are you talking nonsense again? You're spewing shit!"
"Shut up!"
Chu Jin didn't want to talk to Xie Zhan at all, his eyes were fixed on Man Luo:
"Manluo, come back with me."
