God of Pets

Chapter 190 Going up the mountain
The people who went to capture the little flower demon came back with news that made Xiu Jieming and others frown secretly.

The little flower demon that was originally everywhere in Beimang Mountain disappeared overnight and could never be found again.

And before that, someone actually bought up a large number of little flower monsters. There are very few little flower monsters on the market now. They spent a lot of money and bought more than a dozen of them at the price of 120 yuan each. It was not enough for each member of the work team to have one, but they are no longer available in this city.

Chen Guan was naturally happy to hear that the little flower demon could now be sold for 120 yuan, but he knew that this was just the beginning. When those little red spots and worse conditions appeared on everyone's body, the value of the little flower demon would be even higher. Unless another solution came up, the little flower demon pet would become a hit.

"It seems that someone is planning to take over Cuiyun Mountain just like us." Xiu Jieming believed that this matter must be related to Cuiyun Mountain. Someone was secretly spying on the things inside Cuiyun Mountain and had started planning a long time ago. This forced him to deal with it more carefully, and at the same time he was more eager to enter Cuiyun Mountain.

But no matter how anxious he was, he could only go in after the Yuansha was almost dispersed, otherwise no one would come out alive.

Wen Yutao, who was in charge of observing the evil spirit, told Xiu Jieming that it would take at least two days for the evil spirit on Cuiyun Mountain to dissipate to a level where practitioners could enter.

Xiu Jieming could only continue to wait and send people to investigate the surroundings. If there was really someone planning to attack Cuiyun Mountain, they should be nearby now.

However, the people who went out to investigate did not find anyone nearby. Fortunately, two days passed quickly, and Xiu Jieming led everyone to Cuiyun Mountain.

When he arrived at the boundary marker, Chen Guan kept watching but found no trace of the Holy Horned White Deer.

I took another look at the boundary marker and found that the red fruit tree was still there, with the bright red fruits still hanging on it.

"One is missing." Although Chen Guan only took a glance, he had already counted the number. Compared with when he left, there was one less fruit.

"Kuzi, it's up to you." Xiu Jieming asked Brother Kuzi to lead the way.

Brother Button responded and immediately crossed the boundary marker to explore the way ahead.

After passing the boundary marker about one or two hundred meters, Brother Button was fine, so he turned around and waved to Xiu Jieming and the others, indicating that they could pass.

Xiu Jieming led his men into the boundary marker. Chen Guan deliberately walked at the back. After passing the boundary marker, he squatted down to pick the red fruits.

Cuiyun Mountain is full of exotic flowers and fruits, and the small plant in the grass behind the boundary marker does not attract much attention.

The last time Chen Guan came here, if the white deer had not appeared and gone to eat the red fruit, he would not have discovered that there was a red fruit tree here.

Chen Guan just stretched out his hand and grabbed all the fruits, but upon closer inspection, these red fruits were somewhat different from the one Bai Lu had given him before.

Although they were all mutated red fruits stained with blood, when looked at closely up close, they seemed to be missing something and were not as energetic as that one.

"Sure enough, not all the red fruits are stained with the blood of the Soul-Devouring God. I'm afraid there are only two that are truly stained with the blood of the Soul-Devouring God. One was given to me, and the other one was probably taken away by the white deer." Chen Guan took out the thermos, pretended to drink a sip of water, then put all the red fruits into the thermos and tightened the lid.

Although they are not stained with the blood of the Soul-Devouring God, these are mutated red fruits after all. At least they have the function of quickly restoring energy, and may even be able to increase the upper limit of vitality, so they are also very valuable.

"Why are you dawdling? Why are you carrying a fairy peony on your back?" Seeing that Chen Guan was at the end, Xiu Yingmei deliberately slowed down her pace and walked parallel to Chen Guan at the back.

"When I came here, I saw that this fairy peony was blooming very well, so I dug it out. I plan to take it home and plant it after the mission is over." Chen Guan explained casually.

"Is there still a future?" Xiu Yingmei's heart trembled at this. She was deeply conflicted. She didn't want Chen Guan to die, but she couldn't disobey Xiu Jieming's words. "You're here for a mission, not a vacation. You'd think of bringing a flower with you?" Xiu Yingmei said to Chen Guan. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, but to Button Brother, who was exploring the way ahead, she leaned close to Chen Guan's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Stay close to me. No matter what happens, don't leave me more than three steps away. Be careful, be careful."

After Xiu Yingmei finished speaking, she immediately distanced herself from Chen Guan and said angrily, "Stop dawdling and catch up with me."

Chen Guan stared at Xiu Yingmei in a daze, unable to tell whether Xiu Yingmei's feelings were genuine or false.

He guessed that Xiu Jieming would do something bad to him, but he did not expect Xiu Yingmei to remind him at this time.

Chen Guan did not stop and hurriedly followed.

With Brother Button leading the way, they followed Brother Button's footsteps and did not encounter any danger.

The mysterious and strange Cuiyun Peak now looks just like this.

Chen Guan kept looking around along the way, but he didn't see any trace of the white deer.

Cuiyun Mountain is not steep, it can even be considered flat. Going up from here are just some slopes, and there is not even a feeling of climbing a mountain.

After turning a corner of the mountain, a bluestone archway appeared in front of us.

There are three words "Cuiyun Mountain" written on the bluestone archway. Behind the archway is a relatively steep stone staircase path, about a few hundred meters long. At the end of the stone steps, you can see an ancient building looming in the morning mist.

"This is the mountain gate. It is beyond my ability to go up any further. The last time I passed the mountain gate and went up the stone steps, I only saw the ancient and dilapidated Chunyang Temple on the platform. Then I felt the blood rushing up and almost fainted. I quickly escaped to save my life." Brother Button said, looking at the stone steps.

"The evil spirits here have dissipated, and there will be no more danger. You can go up and take a look." Wen Yutao, a Three Awakenings practitioner in charge of observing the evil spirits, said with a smile.

Wen Yutao is not a soldier of the Heavenly Court Army, but a retainer recruited by the Xiu family, and only serves the people of the Xiu family.

Brother Button looked at Xiu Jieming in confusion. He originally thought that his mission was to lead them to the mountain gate, but he didn't expect that he had to continue going up.

"Wenyu is right. The current Cuiyun Mountain is no longer the Cuiyun Mountain of the past. The evil spirits have dissipated, and there is no longer any taboo against climbing the mountain. It is time for us to get a glimpse of its true appearance." Xiu Jieming nodded to Brother Kouzi.

Xiu Jieming had spoken, so Brother Kouzi could only grit his teeth and nod. He circulated all his energy, carefully crossed the mountain gate, stepped onto the stone steps, and continued to walk up along the stone steps.

The others were watching from behind, and the purpose of asking Brother Button to come was to let him explore the way.

After a while, Brother Button walked faster and faster, and soon reached the end of the stone steps and disappeared.

"I really don't feel the fainting feeling like before. There's nothing abnormal. Come up." Brother Button returned to the end of the stairs and shouted to the people below.

Xiu Jieming and Wen Yutao looked at each other, then led everyone up the stone steps.
