Looking at several people with surprised looks on their faces.
Apparently no strange beasts were encountered.
"Master Chen Dong, are you... okay?"
One of them asked carefully when he saw Chen Dong was silent.
"No, you go and do your work."
Chen Dong waved his hand and said.
After hearing this, several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Chen Dong with clasped fists, and then turned and left.
However, one of them had just taken a few steps when he suddenly remembered something and stopped and turned around and said:
"Lord Chen Dong, I heard that there was a heavy fog in the core area of the ruins. Many people got lost with their companions in the heavy fog. You have a little girl with you, so please be careful when the time comes."
Regardless of whether this message was useful to Chen Dong or not, he reminded him anyway.
It was equivalent to gaining a favorable impression in front of Chen Dong.
Regardless of whether the good impression is useful or not, it's just a matter of opening your mouth, and you won't lose.
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
Chen Dong smiled slightly.
After those people left, Chen Dong and the others continued to follow Mao.
Not long after, a thin layer of mist rose around him.
"It's so foggy!"
Mr. Tang cautiously used his inner strength to seal his mouth and nose, and said: "In wild forests like this, the mist is often mixed with poisonous miasma, so be careful."
Chen Dong took a deep breath and said calmly: "Don't worry, this is just water mist, don't worry."
"It's just that this mist is not natural, it is deliberately released by something."
These fogs are mixed with some spiritual energy fluctuations, and something is deliberately controlling the fog behind the scenes to make the fog condense and not disperse.
I'm afraid the fog will get thicker as you go inward.
Coupled with the interference of spiritual energy, it is easy for martial arts experts to get lost in it.
"Then do we still want to go inside?" Mr. Tang asked.
Su Su didn't speak. She understood that although she wanted to find her master very much, this was not the time for her to make the decision.
'Shasha~'
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the mist.
Mr. Tang immediately became vigilant and protected Su Su behind him.
Through the fog, you can vaguely see a person.
"who!"
Mr. Tang asked sharply.
"Don't... don't be nervous, I... I am Divine Doctor Xue from Yaowang Valley." The other party quickly identified himself.
Doctor Xue? !
Mr. Tang looked puzzled.
Su Su was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Yes, it's Master's voice!"
"Eh? This voice...is it Susu?"
The other party also accurately called Su Su's name.
This time Susu was even more sure.
The only ones who can hear his own voice are the elders in the sect who are good to him, except his master, whom he spends time with day and night.
But none of the elders of Yaowang Valley attended the ruins.
Chen Dong stared at the figure that was getting closer and clearer in the mist for a moment, and then silently put away the hair that was still floating in one direction.
The next second, the figure walked out of the thick fog, and a familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
"Master!"
Su Su's eyes filled with excitement. The uneasiness and grievances of the past few days surged like a bursting lake at this moment.
She ran over and hugged Doctor Xue.
"Haha, Susu has grown taller again after not seeing you for a few days."
Doctor Xue's reaction was very strange. He smiled and touched Su Su's head. He was not as excited as expected.
"Doctor Xue, you are fine."
Chen Dong stepped forward to say hello with a slight smile.
"You are... Oh! Chen Dong, Mr. Chen! Why did you come to Yaowang Valley?"
Doctor Xue was a little confused at first, but he still recognized Chen Dong's identity.
"I came to Yaowang Valley to do some errands. By the way, I heard that you were injured and disappeared. I was concerned and came to look for you..."
Speaking of this, Chen Dong looked at Divine Doctor Xue up and down and said with a slight smile: "Looking at your current situation, it seems that we don't need to worry."
"Haha, I'm fine."
Doctor Xue patted his chest and showed off his physique to everyone.
"By the way, the ruins of Medicine King Valley are opened every four years. How did you enter here before it was opened?"
Chen Dong suddenly asked.
Doctor Xue's expression was indifferent as he narrated: "Oh, so you are curious about this. I was injured by Guan Liguo that day, so I wanted to find a place to heal my injury first. I never thought that Guan Liguo would send people to hunt me down. Those people were like dog-skin plasters. Unable to get rid of it, I stumbled all the way to the ruins, but the entrance to the ruins sucked me in."
"It's that simple?"
Chen Dong frowned.
"Well, it's that simple. Maybe it's just my luck."
Doctor Xue grinned, and then said to Chen Dong and others: "You came at the right time. There are many rare elixirs in the ruins center that have matured. We can just come back with a full load this time."
Mr. Tang's eyes lit up.
The elixirs picked from the middle and outer areas alone are enough for the Tang Sect to develop for a period of time. If the rare elixirs in the center are obtained, what is the point?
"Great, what are we waiting for? Hurry up..."
"No, we're not going!"
Mr. Tang was halfway through speaking, and looked at Chen Dong in disbelief after hearing what he said.
Along the way, Chen Dong never refused the elixir.
No matter how effective the medicine was or how old it was, he kept them all.
Now, the elixir in the heartland is even rarer, but he won't go? !
"Sect Master, we are all here..."
"Mr. Chen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you miss this time, it will take four years for the ruins to be reopened. Besides, aren't you still looking for medicinal materials? Maybe there are them in the center."
Doctor Xue rushed to persuade Chen Dong before Mr. Tang. He was even more anxious than Mr. Tang when Chen Dong refused to go.
Is Doctor Xue so enthusiastic to begin with?
Chen Dong shook his head and said: "Forget it, the fog is too thick. I heard that many people got lost in the thick fog."
"This time I came to Yaowang Valley, firstly to complete the task entrusted to me above, and secondly to find you."
"Now that the person has been found, there is no need to take risks in the thick fog, right?"
Divine Doctor Xue suddenly understood and said quickly: "It turns out that I am afraid of the heavy fog. It doesn't matter. I have been here for a few days and I know the situation inside the thick fog very well. You can follow me without any worries!"
Chen Dong's eyes flashed.
After a moment, he said with a smile: "In that case, it's all thanks to Doctor Xue for your hard work."
From the few conversations just now, Chen Dong has already detected a lot of information.
You can be sure that the Doctor Xue in front of you is fake!
According to what Su Su said, Doctor Xue had raised her as his granddaughter for five years, but his reaction was quite cold after not seeing her for a few days, and his words were only polite.
On the other hand, Chen Dong deliberately mentioned Guan Liguo, and Doctor Xue's attitude was very bland, as if he was narrating someone else's experience.
Also, there must be danger in this mist.
Otherwise, this fake Doctor Xue would not spare no effort to let Chen Dong and the others enter the fog.
If you don't think about Chen Dong and Mr. Tang, you have to think about ten-year-old Su Su.
But he didn't look at Susu the whole time.
On the contrary, it was after Chen Dong agreed to enter the thick fog that Doctor Xue showed a smile.
At first, Chen Dong was not completely sure that Doctor Xue in front of him was fake.
Because this man possessed the aura and memory of Divine Doctor Xue, he opened his mouth to test the Divine Doctor Xue in front of him.
"I know Mr. Chen is someone who will seize opportunities. Let's seize the time."
The fake Doctor Xue turned around and was about to lead Chen Dong and the others into the thick fog.
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Dong suddenly said: "The fog is too thick. I feel really uncomfortable. I'd better let the fog dissipate."
Saying that, Chen Dong raised his hand and slapped the mist hard...
