"Wen Yuan, we came from Wujia Village and know some secrets. The Goblin King the orcs are talking about is probably a thousand-year-old ginseng spirit."
"What? Ginseng spirit?"
"Well, besides the ginseng spirit, there are also fox spirits, weasel spirits, rat spirits, hedgehog spirits, and snake spirits in Wujia Village!"
Luo Wenyuan looked incredulous and couldn't help but complain: "...There's no chicken essence or mushroom essence?"
Qingshan smiled and poked Luo Wenyuan, and briefly recounted what they had seen and heard in Wujia Village. Luo Wenyuan recalled that when they were in Hong Kong Island, Qingshan had told him that there might be many unknown mysterious cultivators and creatures in this world, but they were just hiding. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he thinks his wife is really foresighted.
"Captain Luo, before we set out this time, Commander Bai said that if we successfully rendezvous with you, all operations will be under your command. What should we do next?"
Luo Wenyuan blurted out without a second thought, "Let's go to Mantou Mountain! Those orcs seem to have fertility problems and need to eat ginseng to increase their chances of conception. If they succeed, it will probably take less than 20 years for the orc population to grow strong again. So, whether for Huang You and the others or for the benefit of China, we can't let the orcs get the ginseng essence!"
"That's right!"
Luo Wenyuan asked Yin Zheluo: "Captain Yin, how many people did you bring this time?"
"Besides Advisor Chen and I, there are eleven other Qilin team members, ten of whom are attack specialists and one is a supporting healer. The students from Group A that you left behind in the Wujia Village air defense corridor have also come along and are hiding in the nearby woods."
Luo Wenyuan pondered for a moment and said, "All the students will stay. The healing department will take care of Liu Zhilong, and four attack department students will stay to protect him. The rest of you will follow me to Mantou Mountain!"
"yes!"
Qilin acted quickly. Four Qilin warriors armed with live ammunition hid near the rest area. The students in Group A also hid in the big trees around the rest area, looking down at the surrounding developments.
Bai Yun entered the underground air-raid shelter and took care of Liu Zhilong instead of Qingshan. Liu's body temperature returned to normal. Because of heavy blood loss, Qingshan used some spiritual power to promote liver blood production. He is now sleeping.
Qingshan borrowed the weasel Xiaojiu from Qian Duoduo and gave it a Kyoho grape that contained spiritual power. The grape was big and purple. Xiaojiu held it in his paws and licked it carefully. The sweet and sour fruit aroma made him intoxicated.
Xiaojiu ate the big grapes in two or three bites. The rich spiritual power contained in it made him feel refreshed all over. Xiaojiu had never eaten such delicious fruit in his life!
Qingshan was amused: "Xiaojiu, do you know the entrance to the ginseng spirit's cave?"
Xiaojiu is indeed the smart junior selected by Huang You. He can understand what people say. He opened his dark round eyes and nodded at Qingshan.
"Take us there. If you do well, I'll reward you with another grape!"
"Can I get another one?" Xiaojiu cried out excitedly, swishing his furry tail as he ran towards the foot of Mantou Mountain. Silver Ear and the wolf led the way, followed by the little weasel, Luo Wenyuan, and then Qingshan, Yin Zheluo, and the other six Qilin. They traversed the forest and arrived at the foot of Mantou Mountain ten minutes later.
Mantou Mountain is actually just a larger mound, semicircular in shape, and looks very much like a steamed bun from a distance. The area near the mountain is very open, with no tall trees, and the foot of the mountain is full of clumps of shrubs.
After the little weasel reached the foot of the mountain, it did not run straight forward, but led Luo Wenyuan and the others to walk around the bushes. It was only a distance of 500 meters, but the little weasel took a long time to advance about 200 meters.
Yin Zheluo muttered impatiently, "What's this little yellow-skinned guy up to? Why is he going around in circles when it's such a short distance?"
Qingshan carefully observed the arrangement of the bushes and came up with an answer: "There's something strange about these bushes. They must be a formation set up by the ginseng spirit. If we don't follow the correct route, we'll be trapped in a wall and never reach the foot of the mountain!"
