The terrain of Jiazigou is very complex. To be more precise, it should be a valley. The bottom of the valley is undulating and crisscrossed, just like a maze.
Thousands of feet of overhanging walls stand on both sides, blocking the sunlight outside and giving people a strong sense of oppression. Coupled with the strong magnetic force, you will lose your way if you are not careful.
After walking for a long time, Lin Zheng didn't lead them through any mistakes, which was already very rare.
Mr. Jiu looked at the location pointed by Lin Zheng on the map. Although he felt something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't be sure.
After all, it was her first time here, so she didn't know exactly how long the ditch was.
After resting for a while, the team continued to move forward and did not stop until dark.
"Old cat, find a place to camp!"
Mr. Jiu ordered.
"yes."
The old cat responded and called his subordinates to find a suitable place to set up camp.
Lin Zheng didn't care about these other things. While everyone was busy making fires, cooking, and setting up tents, he wandered around alone.
When he came to a rock wall, Lin Zheng took out his dagger and stabbed it with all his strength. There was only a crisp sound and a small crater was made in the rock wall. The shock made Lin Zheng's wrist numb.
Needless to say, he was strong, and the dagger was also a magic weapon bought from the Gongde Mall. It could cut iron like clay, but there was nothing he could do about this rock wall.
"Your dagger is very good!"
At this time, Zhao Qiqi came over again.
Lin Zheng turned to look at Zhao Qiqi and said angrily: "Why are you always following me?"
"My opportunity falls on you, so of course I have to follow you closely."
Zhao Qiqi pursed his lips and smiled.
"Then I have to poop and pee, and you follow me?"
Lin Zheng asked angrily.
Zhao Qiqi nodded calmly and said: "Wherever you go, I will go."
"It's just like a dog-skin plaster."
Lin Zheng had no choice but to let her follow.
This Zhao Qiqi was quite mysterious. Although her strength seemed average, Lin Zheng knew in his heart that she must have hidden her strength, otherwise Huo Jiunan would not be so afraid.
"What are you looking for?
Maybe I can help you."
Zhao Qiqi didn't take Lin Zheng's words seriously and said.
Lin Zheng shook his head and said: "I'm not looking for anything, just taking a look.
Is the opportunity you mentioned true or false?"
"of course it's true.
Do you think I have other intentions for you?"
Zhao Qiqi looked at Lin Zheng with eyes full of wisdom and asked.
Lin Zheng glanced at the busy crowd not far away and said: "Their intentions are not small, and I think you are the same."
"No, I'm not like them.
All I want is opportunity."
Zhao Qiqi said frankly.
Lin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "If you have the chance, will you go to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm?"
Zhao Qiqi was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Do you know how to enter the secret realm of the cave?"
Lin Zheng lowered his voice and said: "As far as I know, the way to enter the secret realm is within the palace.
This is what Mr. Jiu wants."
"how do you know?"
Zhao Qiqi said in disbelief.
"How do I know that you don't have to worry about it, you just need to tell me if you have a chance, will you go in?"
Lin Zheng asked.
Zhao Qiqi looked at Lin Zheng and asked, "Don't you want to go in?"
Lin Zheng shook his head without thinking, "I don't want to.
I still like my current life.”
"what do you want to do?"
Zhao Qiqi asked.
"It's comfortable to talk to smart people."
Lin Zheng gave a thumbs up and then motioned for Zhao Qiqi to come closer.
Zhao Qiqi was already very close to Lin Zheng, but now he took another step forward and stood directly in front of Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice and whispered: "If you can go in, help me keep an eye on Mr. Jiu secretly. I want to know her true identity."
Zhao Qiqi felt a hot breath coming into her ears and eyes, making her itchy and the hairs on her body stood up.
She looked at Lin Zheng and nodded.
"Is this a deal?"
Lin Zheng nodded and smiled: "Of course, whatever you want, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"If I can find out her identity, I hope you will do me a favor too."
Zhao Qiqi said.
"What's the rush?"
Lin Zheng asked.
Zhao Qiqi smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll tell you then."
"OK, it's a deal."
Although Lin Zheng felt that he might be tricked, he still agreed first.
The two whispered for a while, and there was another sound of stepping on stones behind them. When they turned around, it was Mr. Jiu who came looking for them.
"Mr. Jiu, do you have something to do with me?"
Lin Zheng said with a smile.
Mr. Jiu looked at Zhao Qiqi and said coldly: "I want to talk to Master Lin alone."
Zhao Qiqi shrugged, then turned and left without saying anything.
"What does Mr. Nine want to say to me?"
Lin Zhengzheng looked at Mr. Jiu leisurely and asked.
"Master Lin, if you don't talk secretly, if you have any issues, I think we can talk about it candidly. There is no need to spend time and energy on secret confrontations.
During this trip to Mang Mountain, you and I each have needs. As long as you help me enter the Li Palace, I can give you whatever you want."
Mr. Jiu said.
Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Aren't I helping you?
Where is the secret confrontation?
You think it’s a waste of time and energy, and I’m tired of it too.”
"Master Lin, do you dare to say that the path we took today is accurate?"
Mr. Jiu looked into Lin Zheng's eyes and asked.
Lin Zheng smiled brightly and said, "It seems you still don't trust me.
Without my help, do you think you could have gotten here?"
"I'm not denying your ability, I just want to say that I hope to get to Mangshan as soon as possible and find Li Gong."
Mr. Jiu said.
"You seem in a hurry?"
Lin Zheng asked.
Mr. Jiu looked back cautiously and said, "Did you see the three masters I brought?
Suzaku, you have met before. The other two are Qinglong and Baihu in our organization. These two are stronger than Suzaku.
And the reason they were able to be persuaded by me this time was entirely because of the treasure in the palace."
"so what?"
Lin Zheng continued to ask.
Mr. Jiu said: "There is a time limit for their coming this time.
You have to rush back within the stipulated time, so if you are delayed, they are likely to be rude to you."
"Haha, Mr. Jiu, are you threatening me?"
Lin Zheng sneered.
"I'm just stating a fact.
If the treasure cannot be found, they will also have a problem with me.
Now even if you and I cooperate, we are no match for the three of them."
Mr. Jiu said.
Lin Zheng looked at Mr. Jiu silently and said, "Aren't you a family? Why are you so afraid of them?
Could it be that you acted without authorization this time?"
Mr. Jiu's expression changed slightly and he said: "Master Lin, I think I have been frank enough. I hope you can be franker as well.
What I said will definitely count. As long as you help me this time, we will wipe out the previous grievances between Dai Shi of Wucheng and Jinfu Jewelry. In addition, I will give you a generous reward."
"Although it is said that the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is, but today I will believe you for once.
Tomorrow afternoon, we will definitely be able to cross the Jiaji ditch!"
