Chapter 514: Counterattack



The strategy has been decided, and the next question is how to implement it.

As for the whole details, we went to a place where Song Bailu couldn't hear us to discuss it. Since we were going to start a confrontation with that guy, the first thing was to counter his moves. Every move he made had a purpose. Why wasn't it someone else, but the Rat People? As I said, there was something fishy about it. If I went to find the Rat People, I could remove the dangerous points in his layout. I could also ask him more about his next plan so that I could be on guard in time.

The specific method is to spend some time wrapping the whole body and avoid touching other living things to prevent the spread of the plague. The next step is to quietly go to the Peach Blossom Mountain near the rat people, find their nest, question that guy, and also impose the appropriate punishment for theft and betrayal.

Of course, the most critical thing lies in the arrangement of personnel. First of all, someone must be left to keep an eye on Song Bailu in case anything happens to him. In addition, even if something happens, he will be informed at the first time. After much thought, the most suitable person is Hu Lingshang. She has enough coping ability and her insight is much stronger than the rest of us. Moreover, she has always been friendly to Song Bailu, so he can let down his guard.

The other two girls followed me to look for the ratmen.

As for wrapping the whole body, the most suitable material at present is the Ling cloth, so I went to the village at night, got a batch of cloth, and brought it back. Yunwen was responsible for making gloves, masks, neck covers, scarves, etc., relying on sewing stitch by stitch. Of course, the delicate sewing work was given to Yunwen, but the other cutting, laying, sorting, classification and so on were all controlled by Su Yuexi who controlled the mechanized operation of the scarecrow.

Soon, each girl had a set of equipment specifically for covering her skin, and finally with a veil and hat, they could basically achieve zero contact with the outside world.

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. Now it's night and all our actions are still secret. We have to act quickly. After arranging the strategy, I told Hu Lingshang to keep the secret. Then Yunwen and I rode on Sanfu, while Su Yuexi relied on her own witchcraft to fly. But in that way, I think it would be better for her to ride on a broom as it seems more in line with her identity.

Go out of the castle area, fly over the statue, and start moving towards the canyon, which is the area passing the monkey forest. After flying over, you will reach the canyon and Xiying City, and finally start flying deep into the canyon. Keep flying, and pass by the ruins of the prison place. Keep flying forward, and you will be able to reach Taoyuan Mountain.

This is not the first time I have been here, so it is not so strange. When I arrived in this area, I could clearly feel the temperature rising, and it felt like a transition from severe winter to spring. This is the characteristic of Taoyuan Mountain. The climate is like spring all year round, so no matter what is planted here, it will grow luxuriantly because of the suitable climate.

Similarly, because of these good growing environments, colorful poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, even butterflies with poisonous pollen, as well as some poisonous flowers and poisonous vines, also grow relatively luxuriantly in this area. In this sense, this is the law of nature, and there are always pros and cons.

I think the reason why those ratmen are stationed in this area, in addition to being able to fully avoid disasters, is that the supplies in this place are actually very rich. At least the insects are enough for them to have a good meal. No wonder they can change their backers at will. After all, they can survive on their own.

Originally they were planning to go in together, but halfway through, Su Yuexi suddenly said that her adoptive father had summoned her and she had to hurry back, so after hastily apologizing, she went back first.

After all, I heard that her adoptive father is the mountain god, so Su Yuexi must listen to whatever he has to say. After all, the plague has begun to show signs of spreading, and it concerns the safety of the entire island. He might want to tell Su Yuexi something to resolve the conflict. Therefore, even though this reduces the safety of Yunwen and me a lot, there is nothing we can do about it.

Before she left, she specifically said, "Brother Zhou Bo, remember, don't trust anyone, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, she left in a hurry, leaving me confused.

For a moment, only Sanfu, Yunwen and I were left in this place, and it seemed as if we had returned to the beginning.

Since the rat hole was not far from here, we dismounted and walked there.

As we walked forward, there were rustling sounds all around us. I also pulled out the Hidden Evil Blade and hung it to one side in case of emergency. Yunwen said, "In fact, during the days when we were in the castle before, I actually went to check on Song Bailu's condition for you. Before that, you told us a lot about your situation with Song Bailu in the house. At that time, I was too weak to add anything or even correct anything, so I couldn't explain it clearly. Now I want to explain it clearly."

"So you saw what Song Bailu did? Did she do anything to let us down?" I asked.

"Not really, but it's definitely not as good as she said. That day I saw her talking to a short boy, meaning that she would find a way to persuade you. The man gave her something and asked her to take it while you were eating. On the day you came out of the dungeon, you left in a hurry and I forgot about it for a moment. But thinking that there was still some time before dinner and you had just eaten in prison, I thought of writing a letter to you and then I rushed to the post station. Who knew that not long after I arrived, I was attacked by a mysterious man. Fortunately, I was rescued by Sister Lingshang and Miss Su." Yunwen said.

Drugged?

I remember that Song Bailu had drugged me before, without my knowledge, in the dormitory building. The only difference was that the drug she used was aphrodisiac herbs, but I don't know what it was this time. And since Yunwen said that she wanted to write to me that day but was blocked, it meant that the enemy had already known my whereabouts and told Song Bailu in advance.

So, Song Bailu was not ignorant of when I would come. On the contrary, she had already received the news. She just said something to Mr. Lan outside the wall. In the end, her performance was so perfect that I fully believed that she was loyal to me and could withstand the temptation from outside.

However, during the dinner, she brought me a bottle of wine, saying it was newly brewed tree quince bud wine. That should have been the best time for her to attack, but I took a sip and nothing happened. So in the following conversation, it is very likely that a lot of information was false. For example, she didn't know much about the Demon-Subduing Stone, and she used it to exchange for a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and some high-quality cowhide sofas.

In fact, the explanation should be the other way around. Based on what she said to us in the castle just now, I can guess that she must have known about the other party first and wanted to curry favor with him, so he came to her. Otherwise, she is in charge of a mountain stronghold. Even if she rebelled, how much impact would it have on the resources of our East Island? At most, I can develop another piece of East Island.

So her bargaining chips are not that big. The relationship between her and Cheng Feng's Netherworld Gang is a relationship of mutual demand, and Song Bailu has followed her old path. She will give accurate information to whoever is beneficial to her and start preparing to join that person. It is really her.

Fortunately, I have a magic-suppressing stone in my body, which protects me from the virus and prevents me from becoming paralyzed. Otherwise, I might have become a bargaining chip used by Song Bailu to exchange for benefits.

She might be able to sell out her master for fame and fortune.

"It's indeed Song Bailu's routine." I said.

"Of course, she agreed to those requests at the time, and she might have other intentions. I don't know what her real purpose is, but the connection between her and the Netherworld Gang is definitely not as unfamiliar as she said. Mr. Lan's coming early in the morning might be the secret code between the two of them, because you promised to stay for one more day, and if you stay for one more day, you will leave in the morning and leave at noon. So it must be right for him to come to block you early in the morning, otherwise why would he bring an extra killer?" Yunwen said.

"Indeed, but she herself did not expect that the killer was not very friendly to her and even a little cruel in order to lure me out. I was wondering why she didn't know how to use the Gate of Life and Death. So this is the reason." I said.

"I think Cheng Feng must have promised her some special conditions that are better than what she has now, otherwise she would not do this after weighing the pros and cons. As for what it is, we will catch the Rat King and ask him clearly, and then the truth will come out." She said.

I looked at Yunwen in front of me. Now she has become clear and organized in handling things, unlike before. She is worthy of being my "Queen" and can be entrusted with important tasks.
