Chapter 375
Moving Away the Treasures
His words weren’t in the least funny. Ye Mu glared at him, but she was no longer as scared.
The two figures quietly hugged like this for a long time.
“Xiao Mu-er, if I died, would you really leave with me?”
As Ye Mu calmed down, she shoved him. “As if! I’ll take the City Boundary Map home and forget everything here!”
Mo Linyuan pretended to be upset, but seeing Ye Mu’s indignant expression, he felt bad and said, “That’s why I won’t die. I still want to live a long life and have many children with you.”
Ye Mu looked at him irritated. “Who’s going to have children with you?”
Mo Linyuan fearfully said, “What to do, if you don’t, my Mo family line will really end!”
He cajoled and amused her. It was only a good while later that he made Ye Mu completely calm down. Ye Mu checked for a while, and found that although Mo Linyuan’s wounds had not healed, he was no longer in danger. The big rock in her heart fell in an instant.
She said, “Let’s not come to such a dangerous place again.”
Mo Linyuan nodded. “En, won’t come even if there are mountains of gold and silver.”
He just wanted to protect her. This thinking was both very simple and difficult.
The two talked for a long time, then Ye Mu asked, “How long have I slept? How is the situation outside?”
Mo Linyuan blew the porridge that had been prepared on the table beside him. He fed her as he said, “The situation is quite complicated, many worms came out from below. All of us have retreated three li away.”
Ye Mu pondered. She asked, “What about the bottle I brought out last time? The one with the fragrance.”
Mo Linyuan quickly gave the bottle to her, then said, “The thing inside this bottle is extracted fragrant, but when I gave the imperial physicians to check, they couldn’t distinguish it. But what’s certain is, it’s not from a plant.”
Ye Mu held the bottle, a crazy idea flashing through her mind.
“I might have a way.”
She moved closer and spoke next to Mo Linyuan’s ears. Mo Linyuan nodded, and quickly called someone to handle it.
In the afternoon, outside the tent, the soldiers were all downcast because those worms were like a nightmare. They saw many white nematodes suddenly bursting out of one of their friends with their own eyes. It turned out, those worms could lay eggs in a person’s body. If these things escaped outside, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And under this situation, some people had the campfire ready. Then, they saw Ye Mu, who was finally out after being unconscious for a few days.
A few days ago, Ye Mu went down by herself, found the antidote and saved His Majesty. Everyone had heard those worms were very fearful. Having come out alive, they could only say she was very amazing!
After she came out, everyone unconsciously came surrounding her. At this moment, the campsite had over two thousand people. The main forces would roughly arrive tomorrow.
Ye Mu looked at everyone who was mostly wounded. Remorse appeared in her eyes. If they had been more prepared, maybe some wouldn’t have died.
“Ye-xiaojie, it’s broad daylight. What are you doing lighting the campfire?”
Someone couldn’t help asking. And with the company of Mo Linyuan, Ye Mu walked up beside the campfire, taking the bottle out.
“I’m only testing something out. Wait for a while. If something wrong happens, everyone go far away, in case it’s dangerous.”
Everyone didn’t understand, but nodded. Then, they saw Ye Mu throwing the bottle in her hand into the fire.
That porcelain bottle blew up. Then, the black fragrant inside was exposed in the fire. A faint smell arose. The smell was indiscernible, but later became denser, making those who smelled dizzy.
And at this time, a few people gave out horrible shrieks. They saw the frightful white nematodes drilling out of their own bodies. Those worms crawled to the fire wave after wave, making them frightened!
If these worms didn’t come out and instead multiplied in their bodies, they were doomed!
After those worms crawl into the fire, they immediately burn. Seeing there was an effect, Ye Mu felt extremely glad! Not a long time after, everyone saw a horrid scene. The nematodes that parasitized or swallowed up some people, as well as the grotesque worms that came out of the forest, they advanced wave upon wave, as if they were beckoned.
And the worms that were killed by the heat increased, and the fire smelled sweeter. It turned out that the fragrant was extracted from these nematodes! In the end, not only the nematodes, but those rats, centipedes and so on all came over. Ye Mu and the others couldn’t leave because the hotter this fire was, the bigger it became. In the end, it reached the trees, and completely became a large fire!
Fortunately, Ye Mu had people dig a firebreak in time. Otherwise, they would have set fire to the mountain.
Seeing those creatures burning to death and the frightful nematodes even more burned, everyone burst into cheers. The looks given to Ye Mu was like looking at the Savior!
And Ye Mu’s eyes became brighter! The big fire burned for the whole night, the air was filled with the smell of meat. The next day, after the fire died out, Ye Mu sat up and only said one sentence.
“Let’s move the mountains of gold!”
It was not at all an exaggeration saying that! The main forces had come, they had enough convoy.
Ye Mu first asked people to dig a grave, before carefully burying the favored concubine. She remembered the favored concubine’s kindness. After all, those two antidotes were found from her eyes.
Then, everyone started moving away the treasures.
After Ye Mu burned that porcelain bottle, the poisonous creatures underground had all disappeared. There were still some undeveloped ones in the biggest cave, but it wasn’t dangerous.
The treasures were loaded into chests and were brought away one by one. The army escorted them the whole journey. Even if the people from the other countries knew, they didn’t dare to rashly come and fight over them.
After all the treasures were ransacked, looking at the void cave, Ye Mu said in excitement.
“Great, our Mo Country’s many constructions can be put on the agenda! With this much money, how could it all be spent?”
Ye Mu originally wasn’t avaricious, but now became money-obsessed. After Mo Linyuan waited for everyone to leave, he hugged Ye Mu, smiling.
“There are many things to spend money on, for example, giving you a grand wedding!”
Ye Mu immediately became somewhat embarrassed. Seeing no one in the empty cave, she pecked Mo Linyuan.
“The wedding doesn’t have to be too extravagant, we should leave some for our children!”
Her words made Mo Linyuan happy and laugh!
“Don’t worry! I can still afford supporting you and our children!”
Both of them freely imagined the future in the treasure cave. That look of sticking each other like glue, and the picture of the favored concubine digging out her own eyes on the wall, looked very contrasting.
Perhaps feeling is feeling, but because the person that was met was different, the ending would also be different.
