Chapter 295 Departure for Bear Ridge, Secret Exposed
The white tiger bumped its head against Lin Luoxi, causing her to lose her balance and tilt. The white tiger quickly caught her and started running forward.
"Luo Xi..." When Xie Hanchuan finally realized what was happening, his arms were empty. He looked in Lin Luo Xi's direction and saw only a white figure carrying Lin Luo Xi on its back, disappearing into the night with lightning speed.
Xie Hanchuan always felt that this white tiger was an obstacle between him and Lin Luoxi in the future. He finally had a chance to be alone with Lin Luoxi, but the white tiger ruined it, which made him furious.
Thinking of this, he quickly mounted his horse and chased after the direction where Lin Luoxi had disappeared.
"White Tiger, we've gone the wrong way, this isn't the way..." After adjusting her position on the tiger's back, Lin Luoxi realized that the direction the White Tiger was taking her was different from the direction to Bear Ridge.
I quickly grabbed the white tiger by the fur on its back to make it stop.
"Roar~" The white tiger was in pain and tried to brake suddenly, but it still couldn't help but slide a long way before it stopped.
Because of this delay, Xie Hanchuan caught up on horseback.
"Sister Luo Xi, are you alright!" Luckily, his night vision was good, otherwise, he really would have lost her.
"It's nothing, we just took the wrong road. This isn't the way to Bear Ridge." Lin Luoxi immediately pointed out the road to Bear Ridge to Baihu.
In the darkness, the white tiger moved through the forest as if it were back home, like a wild horse let loose. Lin Luoxi had just given it directions when it carried her on its back and immediately charged forward, showing no signs of fatigue.
Upon seeing this, Xie Hanchuan immediately spurred his horse and followed.
He thought the white tiger must have eaten something wrong; was it really necessary for it to be so excited so late at night? It almost made his thoroughbred horse unable to keep up.
"White Tiger, we've arrived." Thanks to White Tiger, Lin Luoxi and the others arrived at the cave in Bear Ridge in half the time.
Previously, one needed the blood of the chief of Bear Ridge to access this cave, but fearing it would be inconvenient for Lord Ji to clean up the mess, Xiao Jingchen had the cave entrance blown up.
"Sister Luo Xi, is this the Bear Ridge that you conquered in one fell swoop?" Standing at the foot of Bear Ridge, Xie Hanchuan realized that Bear Ridge was very steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. He never expected that Lin Luo Xi would break through it.
"Well, it can't be said that it was just me. If the bears hadn't defected and become incredibly powerful, I wouldn't have been able to take over Bear Ridge so quickly."
Lin Luoxi was telling the truth. If she didn't have a trump card up her sleeve, it wouldn't have been an easy task for her to attack.
The two talked as they walked inside.
Upon entering the cave, before even reaching the steps, the white tiger immediately went on alert, baring its teeth at the platform.
"Someone's here..." After listening carefully, Lin Luoxi realized it was a series of chaotic footsteps, so she pulled Xie Hanchuan and walked into the darkness.
Fortunately, Xie Hanchuan released his horse into the forest before entering the cave, so he could call it back with a whistle when he got off.
There's no need to worry about the horse being taken away by someone else. Xie Hanchuan's horse was carefully selected and naturally only recognizes him as its master; no one else can get close.
What makes Xie Hanchuan's horse so special is that it can hide itself when it senses danger; it is bold and brave.
This explains why Lin Luoxi's horse was scared away by the white tiger, while his horse was not.
"They look like villagers from around here?" Lin Luoxi noticed with her sharp eyes that the people coming down from Bear Ridge were dressed as local villagers.
To prevent them from being discovered, Lin Luoxi held the white tiger tightly with both hands, afraid that it would rush out and reveal their whereabouts.
Seeing that the group consisted entirely of men, Lin Luoxi seemed to have anticipated something, and her expression instantly turned grim.
After they left, the mountain was filled with the women who had been abducted by bandits.
Later, I vaguely remember Lord Ji saying that the women on Bear Ridge didn't want to leave, and he even gave them some money to help them survive.
Seeing these men coming down from Bear Ridge in the middle of the night, Lin Luoxi had a bad feeling.
As the men came down, the topics they discussed confirmed Lin Luoxi's guess.
I never imagined that these people were any different from those bandits.
With that thought in mind, Lin Luoxi gently waved her hand as they approached, throwing the poison she had developed at them.
"Sister Luo Xi, what did you do to them just now?" Xie Hanchuan asked curiously as the people walked further and further away.
“Naturally, we’ll teach them a lesson they’ll never forget…” After saying that, she pulled Xie Hanchuan and started walking towards Bear Ridge.
Lin Luoxi led Xie Hanchuan to the cliff with ease. When she saw that the boulder she had carried to block the path was still there when they left, she felt relieved.
"Sister Luo Xi, why didn't you bring me here?" Xie Hanchuan, who had followed them all the way, carefully looked around and found that this place was actually a cliff. He was very curious.
"Don't ask so many questions. Just follow me. I'm not bringing you here to commit suicide together."
Lin Luoxi was afraid that their voices would attract other people in the stronghold, so she immediately told Xie Hanchuan to be quiet.
Pulling Xie Hanchuan along and carrying the white tiger, they used their lightness skills to flip over the boulder and land steadily on the narrow path behind the cliff.
"..." Xie Hanchuan was about to ask why there was a huge rock here, but remembering that Lin Luoxi told him not to speak, he simply shut his mouth and obediently followed behind Lin Luoxi, carefully walking on the narrow path.
After walking for about 15 minutes, the two men and the tiger finally reached a platform at the end of the narrow path.
"Brother Hanchuan, let's move this stone together." Since there was an extra person, she simply called Xie Hanchuan over to help her move the stone.
"Sister Luo Xi, step aside, I'll handle this." Xie Hanchuan told Lin Luo Xi to stand aside, and he went up alone, smashing the boulder to pieces with a single palm strike.
"Wow, Brother Hanchuan is really amazing!" Seeing Xie Hanchuan's skill, Lin Luoxi felt that they had all been deceived by Xie Hanchuan's seemingly harmless expression.
This guy's skill is something that absolutely requires eight to ten years of practice to achieve.
He had only been training with Lin Jize and the others for a year, so he definitely couldn't have achieved that level.
"Hehe..." Hearing Lin Luoxi's sarcastic words, Xie Hanchuan realized that he had been exposed. He could only laugh awkwardly and dared not look Lin Luoxi in the eye.
"It's alright, everyone has their own secrets..." Lin Luoxi didn't force Xie Hanchuan to tell the truth. She smiled and walked straight into the cave.
It was Lin Luoxi's nonchalant attitude that made Xie Hanchuan uneasy.
