Chapter 4260: Did I go the wrong way?

Translator: 549690339

After the excitement, everyone couldn’t help but speed up under Chu bubai’s lead. The nascent ginseng they had been dreaming of was so close to them, and everyone was obviously unable to hold back. It was as if the fatigue accumulated from these few days of continuous travel had been swept away, becoming insignificant.

However, Lin Yi was a little puzzled. To be honest, he had suspected Chu bubai from the beginning. He felt that this person was up to no good, and all the strange things he’d seen along the way proved this point.

But the baby ginseng’s scent couldn’t lie. The others who hadn’t seen the baby ginseng could say that they were tricked by Chu bubai, but Lin Yi had used it to make elixirs before.

As an Alchemist, it was impossible to forget the smell of such a rare material after smelling it once. It couldn’t be faked and Lin Yi couldn’t be fooled.

However, if this smell was really the baby ginseng, what was Chu bubai’s scheme?

He had used all sorts of methods to bring so many people here, and now he was really close to finding the infant ginseng. Going in such a big circle, what kind of hidden intentions did he have?

So far, although there were all kinds of strange things about Chu bubai, he didn’t cause any substantial harm to everyone. On the contrary, just as he said, he really brought everyone to their destination, and they were only a short distance away from the legendary infant ginseng.

Plus, everyone’s participation hadn’t been of any help to him up until now-Lin Yi included. They’d been of no use to him at all, just following him.

Could it be that Chu bubai had specially brought all of them here just to find the baby ginseng as quickly as possible, and had no other ill intentions? Could it be that I’m thinking too much? this person isn’t as scheming as I thought?

However, how could he explain all the strange things that had happened along the way?

Lin Yi looked at Chu bubai’s back and couldn’t help but be confused. His intuition told him that there was something wrong with this man, but he couldn’t tell what the problem was.

Holding Huang xiaotao’s hand, Lin Yi continued to follow the crowd silently. He wasn’t afraid that Chu bubai would turn on him, but he was afraid that Chu bubai had other plans that he couldn’t guard against. It would be troublesome if he fell into his trap.

of course, no matter what, lin yi’s anticipation for the baby ginseng wasn’t any less than anyone else ‘s. otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the risk with huang xiaotao even though he knew chu bubai was up to no good. all they wanted was the baby ginseng.

so, lin yi was very excited to be able to smell the baby ginseng’s medicinal fragrance. if it was purely a trap set by chu bubai and there was no baby ginseng at all, then there would be no point in pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.

because of the baby ginseng’s fragrance, everyone had long since thrown their nervousness and fear to the back of their minds. even if they saw a demon ghost talisman again, they didn’t care at all.

even feng hongyu, who had been greatly stimulated and had a shadow in her heart, was running as fast as she could with chu bubai. she didn’t show any signs of cowardice.

However, everyone soon discovered that something was not quite right. The frequency of the appearance of terrifying things like the ghost talisman devil began to slowly decrease, but the surrounding atmosphere became even colder and more sinister.

Under everyone’s eyes, the clear path in the bushes began to blur. They could even see ghostly figures flashing from the corner of their eyes from time to time.

Although they couldn’t see it clearly, but the image of the shadow jumping was real. They were all determined jiedan stage Masters, and they were sure that this was definitely not an illusion. There must be something in it, and it was very likely to be the legendary unclean thing!

At this moment, the thin fog had unknowingly become much thicker. Just now, they could still clearly see the Blood Moon hanging upside down in the sky, but now, when they looked up, the sky was a blur.

Even though they were only a few feet apart from each other, their figures had become blurry in the fog, and there was even a kind of vague feeling. In addition, from time to time, they could see ghostly figures flashing from the corner of their eyes. Even if everyone was excited because of the baby ginseng, they couldn’t help but shudder at this moment.

Huang xiaotao was so scared that she subconsciously stuck close to Lin Yi’s back, not daring to look at the surrounding scene. Guo dengtao, Wang Feng, and Feng Hongyu in front of them were also on their tiptoes, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, not daring to take big steps forward like before.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He wasn’t scared, but there were ghostly figures flashing around them from time to time. It felt like they weren’t far from them, but they couldn’t see clearly. It was impossible for him not to be scared at all.

Fortunately, Lin Yi could confirm that the fog around them wasn’t the poisonous one above them. It only affected people’s senses, but it didn’t kill them. This was a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, even if they knew that this place had the baby ginseng, they had to quickly retreat. No matter how good the baby ginseng was, they had to be alive to get it. The miasma fog that enveloped this place was a dead land, and if they continued to stay, they would only become fertilizer for the baby ginseng.

“Argh! There’s no path ahead!” Feng Hongyu’s cry suddenly came from the front. She was walking at the front with Chu bubai, and the rest of the people were following behind them. Only she and Chu bubai knew the situation ahead.

“What?” Guo dengtao and Wang Feng were shocked and quickly stepped forward to check the situation. Lin Yi and Huang xiaotao looked at each other and followed.

The six of them stood in a circle, looking at the path that had completely disappeared under their feet. They could not help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.

Although the fog had become heavier and the ground had become blurry, there was still the outline of the small path. Now, there was not even the basic outline. There was only dense grass and bushes in front of them. It seemed that this was the end of the small path.

“Brother Chu, are we going the wrong way?” Guo dengtao couldn’t help but ask. When the path suddenly came to an end, the first reaction of a normal person was to get lost.

After all, this place was covered in fog, and visibility was very limited. It was normal to get lost.

“It can’t be. I’ve been checking the map and the compass. The direction is definitely correct. There’s no need to panic. This map was passed down by my ancestors. No one has taken it for many years. It’s normal for the small path to disappear.” Chu bubai said calmly. (To be continued.) ”
