Chapter 60: No One in the Ruins
Before leaving, Gu Chen made some arrangements.
First he wrote a letter.
The content of the letter was to tell Paimon and Noelle that he had to go out for something and asked them not to worry.
If I haven't returned by daybreak, let them both continue to wait in the camp and I will be back as soon as possible.
After writing the letter, Gu Chen thought about it and decided to stick it on the top of his tent door.
No matter who gets up earlier, Paimon or Noelle, they will see the letter after getting up.
After writing the letter, Gu Chen used light energy to create a hemispherical light shield, covering their camp and two tents.
This way, Paimon and Noelle can sleep peacefully without being disturbed by anyone.
After doing all this, Gu Chen looked at Sister Baoer and signaled her that she could lead the way.
Sister Baoer looked at the light barrier that became transparent in the night, and couldn't help but look at Gu Chen solemnly, as if she was getting to know him all over again.
This person... is too unusual, and his methods are really unpredictable.
But only such a person can deal with that strange Sumeru man, right?
At this point, Sister Baoer has no other choice but to try her luck and completely trust Gu Chen.
So the two of them quickly rushed towards the ruins.
The way to get going is simple.
After Sister Baoer pointed out the direction, Gu Chen picked her up and flew into the sky, flying directly in that direction!
While being lifted and flown in the sky, Sister Baoer was so scared that she almost fell in the air.
While suppressing her grief and anger, she once again confirmed that Gu Chen was not a simple person!
It must be very difficult! Who among ordinary people can fly?
After Sister Baoer collapsed in the air for a while, she saw the ruins gate on Guiliyuan.
She quickly pointed down to indicate that this was the place.
Gu Chen landed without saying a word.
When they arrived outside the gate of the ruins, Gu Chen kindly asked Sister Baoer if she wanted to come in together.
Sister Baoer gritted her teeth, chose to take responsibility for once, and planned to go in with Gu Chen.
Then there was nothing more to say, and the two of them entered together.
After entering, Gu Chen found something wrong.
This relic is just an ordinary relic.
The space inside is not very big, and there are not many things hidden inside, it is basically unremarkable.
but……
Gu Chen took a quick look with his Ultra Vision and saw traces of the demon's remains in the ruins.
The traces of the demon's remnants were also attached with traces of water elements, and the aura of the water elements was the same as the water elements that Shen He used when he went crazy yesterday morning!
Sure enough, nine out of ten times he is a doctor!
But where is the Doctor? The ruins are empty now, right?
Not only Gu Chen was confused, but Sister Baoer was also particularly confused.
Seeing that the target was not there, she became a little anxious.
She demonstrated her professionalism as a treasure-hunting team and checked the ruins inside and out several times, but found no mechanisms or places where people could be hidden.
This is really strange, and Sister Baoer is becoming more and more anxious.
Just when the two were at a loss, a group of treasure robbers came in from outside the ruins.
This group of treasure-hunting people is not Sister Baoer’s group of brothers, but another group of treasure-hunting people.
When they came in, they were escorting a group of kidnapped innocent businessmen. It was obvious that they were also one of the treasure-stealing groups controlled by the doctor.
The treasure-stealing group did not see the terrifying Sumeru man waiting in the ruins, but instead saw two people of unknown origin, which made the treasure-stealing group confused and uncertain.
The leader of the treasure-stealing group came over with a weapon in hand, his expression unstable and his eyes red, demanding:
“Who are you!?
Where was the person who was in the ruins before?"
Gu Chen was very calm:
"Are you asking about the Xumi person who drugged you and forced you to kidnap people?"
The leader of the treasure-stealing group was subconsciously taken aback:
"Correct."
Then he immediately panicked, and his eyes turned fierce when he looked at Gu Chen:
"Who are you!? How do you know all this?"
"I'm here to deal with that Xumi man and save you at the same time. After all, your condition is not good.
How is it? It's not a good feeling to have your life in someone else's hands, right?
The leader of the treasure-stealing group seemed to be provoked, and his eyes became even redder:
"Don't make sarcastic remarks here! Do you think it's fun to be sarcastic to us?
Who are you? Why do you say you can save us? "
Gu Chen didn't want to continue paying attention to him, because this group of treasure hunters were now in a state of being frightened birds, and the slightest disturbance would irritate them.
Rather than communicating with words, it is better to express it directly with actions.
So Gu Chen didn't waste any words and sent out a full moon light wave towards the group of treasure thieves.
The light from the full moon poured down on them, and the heavy bodies of the treasure-hunting group immediately felt lighter.
And that fatal and heart-wrenching feeling no longer exists, as if the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible.
Feeling the changes in their bodies, the treasure-hunting group was in doubt, and the leader of the group was even more skeptical:
"You...really saved us?
Just now...what was that?"
Gu Chen's tone was still calm:
“You don’t need to ask what that is.
All you need to know is that the poison in your body has indeed been removed.
Actually, to be precise, it is not poison, but some kind of curse containing the residue of the devil.
You are lucky enough to have met me, otherwise this curse would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to break."
Seeing that Gu Chen spoke so clearly, the leader of the treasure-stealing group felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He wanted to confirm that it was a life-saving straw, but was afraid that it was not.
He was so frightened that his voice trembled and he couldn't hold the weapon steady:
"Really? It's really lifted?"
Gu Chen could sympathize with their feelings a little, and sighed:
“If you don’t trust me, just wait outside the entrance of the ruins.
Let’s see who will die faster from the poison, or I can deal with that Sumeru man faster.
Anyway, stay out of the way here.
By the way, after you get out, it's best to release those merchants you kidnapped immediately, and don't continue to commit evil again and again."
Seeing Gu Chen's confident look, the leader of the treasure-stealing group was really shaken.
The other members of the treasure-hunting team were also willing to believe in this last hope that fell from the sky.
Anyway, judging from the ruthless look of that Xumi man, he may not let them go in the end.
Since the situation can't get any worse, I might as well trust this person for once.
And the way he just shone with light showed that he was not simple.
It is better to trust this person than that Sumeru person!
So, this group of treasure thieves gathered together to discuss for a few minutes, and finally nodded to indicate that they were willing to leave and not disturb Gu Chen and the others.
Just as they were leading the merchants back towards the entrance of the ruins, Gu Chen suddenly remembered something and called out to the leader of the treasure-stealing group:
"and many more!
Now that I've met you, I can't help but ask you about something.
Do you know where that Xumi man went?
Or do you know where the Xumi man might be hiding in these ruins?"
The leader of the treasure-stealing group who was stopped had a difficult expression on his face and was really unsure.
