Chapter 592: Intimidation (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Based on their observation, Gu Ruoyun had chosen the Door of Life because she had been intimidated by Tianfa. Hence, she had made her choice out of fear.
However, most of them also know that places which look the safest will usually turn out to contain more dangers. In contrast, the Door to Death would be the way to more precious treasures.
Hence, it should be a safer path than the Door of Life.
As such, aside from the Murong family, the rest of the organizations, including the Three Great Authorities, chose the Door to Death.
While Mo Liyou and the rest have taken notice of Gu Ruoyun thanks to the previous events, they were not willing to put their lives in danger. To them, their choices which were based on past experience would be better.
...
The Door of Life was a truly appropriate name.
Along the way, Gu Ruoyun and the rest did not meet with any danger. In fact, they were surrounded by countless priceless herbs throughout the entire journey. Even the spirit fruit, which could help a Martial King in his breakthrough was a very common sight.
The Murong family nearly went mad with joy at the sight of the spirit fruit!
After all, if these spirit fruits were to be sold at an auction, the prices would be sky-high. Back then, Murong Rou'er had used one to tempt Gu Ruoyun to help her frame Murong Yan. But she had stumbled upon that spirit fruit by accident and had considered it a treasure! She could never bear to let anyone see it.
So you can guess how valuable a spirit fruit was!
But here, spirit fruits were as common as mushrooms. Even Master Murong was grinning from ear to ear. He never imagined that the owner of this tomb would turn out to be so honest to have named the doorways the Door of Life and the Door to Death so accurately! He wasn't laying tricks at all!
I wonder if that old man, Yeh Luo, would die from anger if he knows about this?
With these spirit fruits, the Murong family's power would be upgraded by more than one level. Their power would become doubled!
In the midst of their excitement, the group finally ended their journey. Of course, this time, Gu Ruoyun's earnings were no small number. This made her feel very satisfied indeed!
"Bodyguard Gu, you don't plan on killing those people?"
Along the journey, Ye Nuo had consistently been nagging into Gu Ruoyun's ear. Those people were actually ungrateful enough to try and harm us! And turned their back on Bodyguard Gu to say that she wasn't a citizen of Black Rock City! They actually forgot that when we had first set foot into the ruins, it was Bodyguard Gu's warning that saved us all from dying in the explosion.
Hence, the more Ye Nuo thought about it, the angrier he felt. He dearly wished to crush their bones into dust.
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and replied in a voice the reflected a clear cloudless sky, "We still have a long way to go on this expedition. Even I do not dare to guarantee that I'll be able to notice the dangers ahead on time. With everyone here, we can use them as cannon fodder."
That's true.
If it were not for the dangers which lay ahead, Gu Ruoyun would never have let them off so easily.
Ye Nuo rolled his eyes "Bodyguard Gu, I really pity you now. How did you ever manage to bump into people of such excellent quality?"
"I don't know myself."
Gu Ruoyun smiled in exasperation.
She never had any intention of provoking anyone yet some people seemed to have taken a liking to provoking her.
Just as the two were in the middle of their discussion, the group which had entered the Door to Death finally emerged.
"F*ck. This Door to Death turned out to contain so many fearsome spiritual beasts. We almost didn't manage to make it out alive. Most importantly, we didn't manage to find any treasures at all!"
As they spoke, Gu Ruoyun and the rest turned their heads to look and saw a large, sorry-looking group stepping out from the Door to Death.
The group was drenched in blood with disheveled hair, some were even riddled with scars. Even the Three Great Authorities had suffered multiple injuries. It was pretty obvious that they had experienced a horrible battle.
