Chapter 39 Scarp Swallow

"Go and follow her."

Cui Chenggang and Ma Yuan had rich experience, so they imitated Lin Jianjia to take out their daggers and quickly jump on the stone.

Li Ping'an also hurried to draw his dagger hung behind his waist and reached the stone with a few jumps to follow them fast.

After jumping over the stone, Li Ping'an found that behind it there was a thick thorn tree. Under the thorn tree, there was a dark hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave was not big and was one meter in diameter. Only one person could narrowly walk into it. It would not be easy to find it if someone didn't look at it carefully.

"Daniu, quickly. Follow us."

Shouted Cui Chenggang from the cave.

Li Ping'an hurried to take out a wolf-eyes flashlight and then quickly went into the cave.

Entering the cave, as a warm breath came over his face, Li Ping'an didn't feel cold.

The area in front of him was vaguely lit by the flashlight, which implied that the cave was spacious.

Li Ping'an continued going forward and secretly praised Lin Jianjia for her carefulness.

It was no wonder that she had been confident about this journey. The cave was usually regarded as a shelter of beasts, so no one would come here at random.

Three people before him walked quickly, so Li Ping'an sped up to catch up with them without thinking much.

A few minutes later, there was a dim light in the other cave mouth. After seeing Cui Chenggang and Ma Yuan, Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief.

When he lit the area around him with a wolf-eyes flashlight, his pupils were contracted.

Under the cliff not far from here, there was a headless body, with his two arms clutching his neck as if someone had squeezed his throat before his death.

He wore a black combat uniform. There was green and black hair on his arms and palms. He was not completely rotted, so he might be dead for about more than twenty days.

"Sh*t. The foul smell is from here."

Li Ping'an couldn't help spitting.

He saw dead body, but he never witnessed a disgusting one like this.

"It is a dangerous journey this time."

Li Ping'an became alert. After taking a short glance at the body, he continued making his way forward.

Hiss.

"Mr. Ma, come on. Kill it."

Swish.

Shouts and battles sounded from ahead, and then there was a blood smell drifting with the wind into the cave.

Li Ping'an was calm but felt disgusting, so he held his breath to avoid this foul smell.

When Li Ping'an rushed out of the cave a few seconds later, he saw a black snake, as wide as a bowl, had been split in two, scarlet blood flowing out of its body beside the cave mouth.

Ma Yuan skinned it and seemed to fetch its gall.

Cui Chenggang wiped the bloodstain from his forehead and spoke to Li Ping'an with a smile, "Daniu, we will enjoy it."

Li Ping'an was shocked.

The two men were so strong that they quickly killed the black snake that almost reached the Awakening Stage.

Li Ping'an didn't show his shocking expressions but wore a silly smile, nodding, and searched for Lin Jianjia with his split vision.

Soon, not far from him, he saw Lin Jianjia, a tall, slim, and cold woman, stand on a big stone and overlook the storm at a distance.

Ma Yuan quickly fetched the snake gall as big as a football within one minute and then cut out a large piece of snake flesh.

Whoosh.

Lin Jianjia jumped from the big stone, walked over here, and said, "Uncle Ma, Uncle Cui, Li Daniu, the Teling Herb is in the deep of the valley. I call this place Scarp Swallow."

"Scarp Swallow?"

Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang looked at each other, and then they gazed at Lin Jianjia.

Li Ping'an also glanced at her.

Lin Jianjia kept calm and said, "Last time when I came here, it was sunny. There is a big stone, like a flying swallow, on the mountain not far from here."

Li Ping'an understood her meaning.

Taihang Mountain was different now. It had changed so much. If a new place were discovered, people would name it.

Obviously, Lin Jianjia first discovered and named it Scarp Swallow.

Li Ping'an recalled the headless corpse, and he guessed that it should be killed and beheaded by Li Jianjia.

"Haha. Scarp Swallow is a good name. I even admire your luck, Jianjia. Good, very good."

Cui Chenggang was happy and burst into laughter. He added, "Jianjia, after a long walk, we are all tired. So why not fetch the medicine after taking a rest and eating food?"

Lin Jianjia nodded in agreement.

Li Ping'an was speechless. Lin Jianjia ran so quickly that he nearly couldn't catch up with her just now, but why didn't she explain the reason?

However, she ignored Li Ping'an, so he didn't have a chance to ask her but hid it in his heart first.

The fire was not available on this rainy day. However, the other two people were well equipped. Ma Yuan built a smokeless stove and started roasting the snake. Cui Chenggang took out energy foods to share them with his companions, from beef jerky to chocolate.

Soon, they started eating lunch.

Li Ping'an originally thought that the snake was delicious, but he was wrong. It was tough, bitter, and raw. After taking mouths of strong whisky, he felt better.

Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang laughed at Li Ping'an whose expressions were puzzling and suffering.

Cui Chenggang said with a smile, "Daniu, when we first came to the mountain, we felt uncomfortable like you now. You will get used to it soon. The energy from the snake is rich, and you will know how valuable it is in the future."

Li Ping'an wore a silly smile. He found that Lin Jianjia had eaten some snake meat calmly, so he didn't make exaggerated expressions but started gulping it.

When he didn't take it as snake meat, he felt better and even found it a little delicious.

After having lunch, Lin Jianjia explained the course to Li Ping'an.

She spoke to Li Ping'an, "It was likely that there were wild animals in the cave, so we must kill them first. That was why when I entered the cave, I didn't tell you."

Li Ping'an nodded with a silly smile.

Lin Jianjia nodded and spoke to Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang, "Uncle Ma, Uncle Cui, when I first came here, the fog in the valley was too thick to disappear. Moreover, fierce beasts were guarding there, so I didn't succeed at that time."

"Now, we are so lucky. It's raining heavily, so the fog might get less thick. Last time, I didn't get access to the deep valley, but I felt that there must be pure energy in it. Perhaps there are centurial aged Teling Herbs and ever better medicine."

"When we fetch them, you two will get more medicine than you have expected."

The direct answer by Lin Jianjia made Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang excited.

Cui Chenggang touched the scar on the corner of his eye and said, "Jianjia, we are on the same boat, so don't mind it. We have this good chance, so we should hold it instead of wasting it. We had better go there right now."

"Ok."

Lin Jianjia nodded and motioned Li Ping'an to pack up by her eyesight.

Li Ping'an was inspired.

"Are there any centurial aged Teling Herbs and even medicine better than it? If so, I will be rich."

Li Ping'an knew there were always violent beasts guarding treasures.

The better the treasures were, the more dangerous the beasts were.

After all, the beasts were not much less clever than human beings, and they also knew that those medicines were useful.

It was a life-risky task. The higher the risk was, the more profit people would get.

After packing up, they restarted. Ma Yuan went first to explore the way, and Lin Jianjia led the way on the basis of her memory. Li Ping'an was in the middle while Cui Chenggang was at the end of the group.

However, the rain didn't stop but became heavier and heavier. So they couldn't see anything clearly.

Thanks to Lin Jianjia who was careful and had a good memory, they could make any moves on this rainy day otherwise.

Li Ping'an was drenched. He gave up baggage, but he was still uncomfortable because of the weapons on him.

Fortunately, there were plenty of green grasses on the ground with not much mud, and Li Ping'an started getting used to this situation.

He understood one thing more deeply, "The knowledge on the texts is merely theory. He has a real experience after this explore in the wild."

Now, four people well cooperated and swiftly ran in the rain.

After five or six minutes, they had reached five or six kilometers deep in the valley. Then, they found a big field of exuberant Teling Herbs beside a flowing river.

Taking a rough look at them, Li Ping'an guessed that there were fifty or sixty ones.

Each Teling Herb was worth at least more than 30 million yuan.

In other words, this field of Teling Herbs was worth 2 billion yuan.

Ma Yuan and Cui Chenggang were pretty excited and anxious about it.

As strong fighters, they would only gain 0.1 or 0.2 billion yuan per year when the market boomed.

What they got today could be as much as that of years of tasks.

In the deep of the valley, there might be a centurial aged Teling Herb worth billions yuan.

Lin Jianjia trembled and fixed her eyes on the field of Teling Herbs, with her fair fists clenching.

The heart of Li Ping'an also heavily pounded.

It was his first time to get closest to the great wealth in his life.
