Qu Li signaled Feng Yi to hide, and she walked towards the source of the sound with a fearless stride.
In the shadows, Feng Yi looked at Qu Li like this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were even more gentle like water.
"Boss, it's me!"
Qu Li discovered that the other person's ghost mask was somewhat different from hers, and her mind raced as she thought that this person might be her immediate superior, so she deliberately lowered her voice with a hint of flattery and ingratiation.
As she guessed, this man was indeed the team leader.
He had just heard voices coming over here, and fearing that something might happen, he came over here.
"Everyone, cheer up, otherwise, you might end up like those people inside!"
Qu Li nodded repeatedly, keeping a very humble attitude.
The man was very satisfied with her performance and turned to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said, "It's a bright moon night with sparse stars."
Qu Li was stunned for a moment.
This is fucking similar to the King of Heaven and Earth Tiger, Chicken stewed with mushrooms, right?
But she doesn't know!
There was murderous intent in that man's eyes.
He felt something was wrong and thought there must be a stranger sneaking in.
When he was about to attack Qu Li, he was hit hard on the back of his neck. He widened his eyes in dissatisfaction and staggered to the ground.
Qu Li looked at Feng Yi opposite him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems like that was some kind of secret code."
Feng Yi nodded.
Fearing that he might wake up at any time, Qu Li gave him another injection of anesthetic.
"Time is running out, let's get in quickly and get out as soon as possible."
"good."
Feng Yi changed into the man's clothes, and the two of them sneaked in under the cover of night, one in front and one behind.
It is very quiet in the Black Water Forest. From time to time you can hear "Ahhh" roars, which sounds creepy.
Qu Li was observing his surroundings when his hand was suddenly held.
The warmth slowly flowed from the fingertips to every part of the body, and even the heart felt like it was soaked in warm water.
She curled her eyes at him.
"There are more guards over there. Maybe that's where the poisonous insects are kept." Feng Yi expressed his judgment.
Qu Li shook his head: "When I sneaked into the Tibetan Medicine Pavilion before, although there were guards, there were not many."
"Why?"
"You haven't seen those disgusting bugs with your own eyes. I feel like those guards must be terrified as well."
"So, what you're saying is that where there aren't many guards is where the bugs are most likely to be?"
"My intuition."
"Then let's split up!"
Qu Li gave Feng Yi some more poison, and then the two of them went their separate ways.
She was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she hid in the space and searched slowly under the cover of the space.
At the foot of the mountain ahead, there is a lonely stone house, exuding a strange feeling in the dark night.
She thought for a moment and then moved towards the stone house.
There were no guards around the stone house. Before he got close, Qu Li heard the hissing sounds, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Even if she didn't go in, she could be 100% sure that the insects were placed here.
After carefully looking around to make sure there were no guards, she took out the master key, unlocked it, and entered the stone house.
The poisonous insects began to become active, and the "hissing" sound made the eardrums swell and the scalp numb.
Qu Li wanted to observe these poisonous insects carefully when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
She frowned.
Could it be that Feng Yi was discovered?
After taking another look at the bugs, she simply put them into the space. Then, she took out a smoke bomb, deliberately exploded it, and set it on fire.
A "bang" sound resounded throughout the Black Water Forest.
"The fire is happening!"
"But isn't that the stone house containing the Gu insects over there?"
"Maybe someone sneaked in here and wanted to destroy the Gu worm!"
After Qu Li successfully led people to the stone house, he went to look for Feng Yi again.
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she was about to attack when she heard Feng Yi's voice ringing in her ears.
"It's me."
Qu Li's heart finally settled down.
"Are you okay?"
"I was accidentally asked that code word just now, and I didn't have an answer." Feng Yi was speechless.
Qu Li couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "I've found the stone house where the poisonous insects are kept. Let's leave quickly."
Feng Yi nodded, took her hand, and left in the chaos.
"You burned all the poisonous insects?" Feng Yi looked at the blazing fire in the distance, his eyes full of confusion.
"It was the stone house that burned."
Feng Yi was puzzled.
The Blackwater Forest was getting noisier and noisier. One could faintly hear someone running towards this side, probably trying to inform the high priest.
"Let's leave here first." Feng Yi put his arm around Qu Li's waist and flew up.
Qu Li was quite conflicted at the moment.
She didn't know whether she should tell Feng Yi that she had a space.
"What are you thinking about?"
After his feet landed on the ground, Feng Yi looked at Qu Li, whose mind was drifting somewhere else, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense.
"nothing!"
"You go back first."
He was afraid that once the high priest knew about Heishuilin, he would suspect Qu Li.
If she wasn't in Lanyuan, it would be very troublesome.
"Then you should also pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry." Feng Yi hugged her.
As Feng Yi expected, when the high priest learned that the stone house in Heishuilin was burned down, the first person he suspected was Qu Li.
He rushed to the Orchid Garden with a heart full of anger.
"High Priest?" Tianqing was awakened and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Where's Qu Li?"
"Miss Qu has already gone to bed."
The high priest obviously didn't believe it, and when Tianqing wanted to go in to report, he pushed her away rudely.
Tianqing fell to the ground, the skin on the palm of his hand was scratched and blood was oozing out.
"It's late at night, and the high priest is free?" Qu Li walked out, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Where did you go just now?" The high priest's eyes were sharp.
"I have been sleeping in the room. If the high priest had not suddenly come over and woke me up, and bullied Tianqing, I should have had a good dream all night long." Qu Li did not hide his sarcasm, walked to Tianqing's side and pulled her up.
The high priest grabbed her arm with such force that she felt her bones could be crushed at any moment.
"High Priest, what do you want to do?" Qu Li fearlessly met his eyes that could cut her into pieces, and questioned him in a cold tone.
"What happened at this time of night?"
Feng Yi's sudden words loosened the high priest's grip on Qu Li's arm a little.
"Why is Mr. Qian here suddenly?" The high priest looked over with an indifferent expression.
"I couldn't sleep. To be more precise, I didn't get a good rest these past few nights at the High Priest's Mansion! I came here after hearing the commotion."
The high priest had already believed Feng Yi's words, but at this moment a gust of wind suddenly blew.
He had been suppressing his anger because of Feng Yi's arrival, but suddenly he became furious again.
