Chapter 1038: Chapter 489: Eating One Second Late is Disrespectful to Nature’s Gifts!_2

The sled raced on, another twenty minutes passed, and Lin Baici suddenly heard faint voices.

He immediately headed toward them.

...

"Be careful, there’s movement!"

Liu Langqing’s ears twitched, and she immediately shouted.

The three examiners and twenty examinees instantly readied themselves for battle, preparing for a skirmish.

When they entered the second town, Pan Yunxiang didn’t keep everyone together, but split them into groups to quicken the search for the Dragon Inn.

"Is that the sound of hooves?"

Before Liu Langqing could grasp the source of the noise, a reindeer burst through the black fog, charging forward with a sled in tow.

"Lin Baici?"

Liu Langqing was stunned.

After the reindeer arrived in front of the group, it veered sideways, and the sled swished, neatly drifting to a stop right in front of Liu Langqing.

"Sister Liu, have you seen Red Medicine?" Lin Baici asked. "And the two female examinees, Qingqiu and Hua Yue Yu, do you remember them?"

"Red Medicine is fine, and those two examinees you mentioned were part of the second group to enter the city gates. They’re quite brave!"

After speaking, Liu Langqing looked over the reindeer: "Where did you get this sled?"

I really want to try it out!

It’s way cooler than a Lamborghini.

Lin Baici breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the three girls were unharmed.

"It’s not time to relax yet. Qingqiu wasn’t with the examiners and is part of a group of four examinees acting on their own!"

Liu Langqing felt it necessary to inform Lin Baici of the situation.

"What?"

Zhang Hao was taken aback. "Are they out of their minds?"

Then she looked at Lin Baici: "We need to find them quickly, or it’s too dangerous."

If it were ordinary examinees, Zhang Hao wouldn’t care about their fate. But friends of Lin Baici? That was a different matter.

"Sister Liu, we must go ahead!"

Lin Baici excused himself.

...

Liu Langqing really wanted to say, take me with you, but seeing there was no extra space on the sled, she could only give up.

Never mind,

There will be another chance to ride!

The reindeer continued its journey.

Lin Baici wondered whether the creature would get tired, but eating and drinking probably weren’t necessary.

Zhang Hao quickly spotted a blind spot: "You don’t seem very worried?"

Lin Baici’s face was too calm.

"Qingqiu’s smart enough to handle this situation!" Lin Baici explained.

If Qingqiu realized she couldn’t kill the Dead Flesh Men, surviving wouldn’t be a problem.

"Your friend?"

Zhang Hao was curious.

"A companion who completed the Pusan Trip with me!" Lin Baici smiled slightly.

"What?"

Zhang Hao was shocked, thinking she must have misheard.

A girl who hadn’t even obtained an official license, not even considered a rookie, had dared to enter the Busan Divine Ruins?

That was the Decade Great Divine Ruins, where even an expert like Zhang Hao would hesitate before entering and then most likely would give up.

Because one only has one life.

Zhang Hao was very self-aware. Not to mention she was one of the Three Heroes of Beijing, she wouldn’t let herself be so arrogant as to enter the Decade Great Divine Ruins, even if others hyped her up as the second Xia Hongmian or as a leading figure among the new generation in the Nine States.

Because that was truly risking one’s life.

"You heard right!"

Lin Baici didn’t mind promoting Qingqiu’s reputation.

"What about the other one? That Hua Yue Yu?"

Zhang Hao continued to inquire—such an unusual surname.

"She went too!" Lin Baici shrugged. "But she was just tagging along!"

"You’re really modest!"

Zhang Hao scoffed. Taking along someone just to tag along in the Decade Great Divine Ruins?

As if I’m a fool!

In exploring such ruins, even the dog in the team had to be elite!

"It’s all my fault or she wouldn’t have come to take the exam!" Lin Baici was depressed and felt guilty, who could have predicted a normally safe examination would turn out like this.

"She completed the Pusan Trip, so isn’t obtaining a driver’s license practically guaranteed?"

Zhang Hao thought Lin Baici was being overly cautious.

And she really wanted to ask, are you guys insane?

Wait.

It must have been Xia Hongmian leading the team, right?

Anyway, Zhang Hao didn’t believe these rookies would dare to follow Xia Hongyao to Goryeo.

Because they had the sled, the two of them chatted without delay, and while searching for the Dragon Inn, Lin Baici and Zhang Hao encountered three waves of Dead Flesh Men. However, thanks to the reindeer’s speed, they easily shook them off.

After approximately an hour’s travel, Lin Baici’s luck turned.

In the black fog, they could see some yellow light.

"We’ve found it!"

Zhang Hao was overjoyed, "Quick, over there!"

Lin Baici drove over.

Before long, a three-story wooden building abruptly appeared halfway up the slope, exuding an aura of dilapidation and decay due to years of neglect.

A crooked sign hung over the inn’s entrance, bearing the words "Dragon Gate Inn" in large characters.

The sled parked in front of the door.

Lin Baici put it away, and the two cautiously entered the inn.

The first sight was a lobby furnished with tables and chairs, reminiscent of ancient taverns and tea houses, only thick layers of dust had accumulated due to a long absence of cleaning.

"Up to the second floor!"

Zhang Hao led the way.

Shoes creaked on the wooden stairs, a sound that was eerily penetrating in the desolate inn.

"Here!"

Zhang Hao entered Room Jiazi No. 1, which looked exactly as she remembered.

She immediately went to the wardrobe and opened it.

Inside were two empty hangers with no clothes hanging on them.

"We can get through here!"

Zhang Hao tapped on the panel of the wardrobe that was attached to the wall.

"You can’t get through!"

The sudden female voice made Zhang Hao’s nerves tense, and she stared at the door.

A man and a woman stood there.

The girl wore jeans and a sports jacket that accentuated her tall but slender figure. Perhaps from running too much, her face bore sweat and appeared pale and weak.

Such a beautiful girl!

But Zhang Hao quickly disregarded her appearance, focusing instead on the girl’s eyes.

Wise, steady, calm...

This girl surely had a heart unfazed by the unexpected.

Without needing an introduction from Lin Baici, Zhang Hao suddenly knew her name!

"Is that Gu Qingqiu?"

Zhang Hao looked toward Lin Baici.

"Mingyuan?"

Lin Baici never expected Fang Mingyuan to be with Gu Qingqiu.

"Old White!"

Fang Mingyuan, ecstatic to see Lin Baici, immediately ran over, intending to embrace him, but paused when he saw Zhang Hao watching him.

Damn it!

How could I forget, she’s now an examiner!

Lin Baici stepped forward and hugged his roommate.

"Xiao Bai!"

Hua Yue Yu greeted happily, casting a resentful glance at Fang Mingyuan.

Why would a man want a hug?

You’re wasting my chance!

At the door, Long Miaomiao sucked on a lollipop, "We’ve been keeping an eye on the outside, we saw you as soon as you arrived!"

"Xiao Bai, I knew you’d find your way here quickly!"

Hua Yue Yu grinned.

My Xiao Bai is the best!

"We already know the answer!"

Zhang Hao Curious, "But how did you guys find this place?"

"It was Qingqiu!"

Hua Yue Yu gleefully acted like an accessory.

"I compared these guest rooms and noticed there was something odd about the wardrobe in this room. I figured there should be something hanging on those two hangers to open the door to the next town."

Gu Qingqiu deduced.

"No need, just push it open!" Zhang Hao said, reaching out to push the back panel of the wardrobe, but it didn’t move: "Eh? What’s going on?"

"On the way here, I killed a Dead Flesh Man. When it dies, it splits into two and gets back up," Gu Qingqiu analyzed. "I think you might need to peel off its skin and hang it on the hangers to activate this wardrobe’s hidden function!"

Zhang Hao was stunned once more; regardless of whether Gu Qingqiu’s deduction was correct, the train of thought was impressive. So she couldn’t help herself and invited, "Want to join my team?"

"Sorry, I’m already one of Lin Baici’s!"

Gu Qingqiu smiled faintly.

[It’s not about peeling skin, but hanging heads on the hangers!]

[A woman so clever, don’t you want to eat her right away?]

[Every second you wait is disrespect to nature’s gift!]

Eater God commented.

"Where’s that splitting monster?"

Lin Baici headed downstairs.

"At three o’clock, two miles from here!"

Gu Qingqiu followed.

"You guys wait here, I’ll go with Zhang Jie!" Lin Baici suggested.

"If I’m not wrong, that monster will reproduce endlessly. I didn’t kill it before because it was troublesome, but now it has to be dealt with, which means I must go!"

Gu Qingqiu didn’t finish her explanation, but Zhang Hao understood.

Gu Qingqiu was confident she could find the key to killing that creature.

This...

This is truly supreme confidence!
