Chapter 1077: Chapter 510: Lin Baici’s Little Cupcake!_2

Gu Qingqiu smiled warmly, "Then, can you tell me how to enter without getting bitten to death?"

"..."

Xie Yangchun was speechless, Is this girl insane?

It’s such a pity,

She actually looks pretty.

Squeak!

The squirrel gave a sharp squeal.

Gu Qingqiu let go at once, and the squirrel immediately fell to the ground, and quickly scrambled to its feet and ran, but after only about ten meters, was pulled back by the leash.

"Behave, oh, if you don’t want to die, tell me how to get inside that mouth!"

Gu Qingqiu led the squirrel while letting it pull her along.

"What’s going on here?"

An Yi Xian was completely baffled.

"If this doesn’t get resolved, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?"

The aunt worried.

"Does she have Divine Grace, allowing her to speak with little animals?"

Long Miaomiao said with a look of astonishment.

As soon as Little Fatty Sister spoke, everyone paused, then their gazes simultaneously shifted towards Gu Qingqiu.

That could actually be possible.

"Quick, follow her!"

Zhang Hao rushed out.

The little squirrel ran fifty or sixty meters and came to a large tree that looked like a poplar, then it scrambled up and began to strip the bark with its teeth and claws.

Lin Baici saw that on this large tree, there were many such ragged claw marks.

As the squirrel scratched away the bark, similar to a rubber tree oozing sap, this tree too exuded some amber-colored viscous fluid from the tear.

A faint, peculiar smell wafted through the air.

The little squirrel immediately rubbed itself all over in these sticky fluids.

"..."

Everyone looked on in amazement.

After the little squirrel had rubbed a good amount of fluid onto its body, it then climbed down.

Lin Baici, holding a handful of roasted pine nuts from the Northeast, handed them to Gu Qingqiu.

Gu Qingqiu fed the squirrel while returning to the Stone Statue Head.

Not only Xie Yangchun and Zhang Hao Curious, some curious examiners who considered themselves as quite competent also followed.

Gu Qingqiu let go once again, and the little squirrel dropped into the big mouth of the Stone Statue Head.

This time, the little creature didn’t struggle, and the Stone Statue Head didn’t snap shut; it landed smoothly on the ground.

"What does this mean?"

Xie Yangchun asked.

"It seems to find the Goddess, one should probably crawl inside this mouth!"

Gu Qingqiu analyzed, watching the little squirrel scurry around below, then threw the pine nuts into it.

"There’s a strong possibility!"

Zhang Hao nodded.

"Can you communicate with animals?"

An Yi Xian pressed.

"No!"

Gu Qingqiu shrugged her shoulders.

"Then you..."

An Yi Xian furrowed her brows.

The others also looked at her, waiting for an explanation, but Gu Qingqiu didn’t plan on giving one.

Xie Yangchun and Zhang Hao exchanged glances.

Actually, the next steps were quite simple; find someone, coat them with that viscous fluid, and have them scout inside—but to speak such words felt too callous.

"Send up a signal flare, wait for Captain Pan to return!"

Xie Yangchun proposed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqiu curled the corners of her mouth.

These people all had their smarts, but this time, they were likely to be disappointed.

The signal fireworks went up, exceptionally dazzling in the twilight over the forest.

The examiners who had scattered to search were hurrying back, but twenty minutes later, Pan Yunxiang was still missing.

Xie Yangchun sat by the campfire, glancing occasionally at his watch, his expression anxious.

"Stop looking, you won’t see him coming!"

Gu Qingqiu chuckled, roasting a sausage.

Xie Yangchun’s brow furrowed instantly, he had actually anticipated this, since Captain Pan hadn’t returned after the signal flare.

Now there were two possibilities, first, Pan Yunxiang had an accident.

This possibility was slight because with Pan Yunxiang’s capabilities, he could definitely have sent a warning signal before anything serious happened.

Second, Pan Yunxiang found the way unexpectedly and due to some reasons, had no time to inform everyone.

"You’re not going to suggest everyone go look for Pan Yunxiang, are you?"

Gu Qingqiu stood up and walked toward the Stone Statue Head, "It’s so dark, what could be found?"

"What do you plan to do then?"

Xie Yangchun complained without real enthusiasm.

"I’ll do it myself!"

Gu Qingqiu passed by Long Miaomiao and handed her the grilled sausage she was holding.

"Thank you, Sister Autumn!"

Little Fatty Sister grinned and didn’t mind the heat, taking a bite directly.

"How come? Are you planning on risking your life?"

Xie Yangchun provoked.

"Brother Xie!"

Zhang Hao pulled Xie Yangchun aside and whispered quietly, "Don’t ignore the face of Buddha for the sake of a monk, you weren’t with Lin Baici and don’t know how strong he is."

"Can’t I?"

Gu Qingqiu smiled slightly.

"Everyone is here to purify God’s Ruins, to protect the lives and property of the people. Both of you talk less, I’ll arrange someone!"

Zhang Hao was ready to be the bad guy.

"No need, I’ll do it!"

Gu Qingqiu refused.

"Heh!"

Xie Yangchun thought Gu Qingqiu was pretending to be a big shot, but soon realized her calm demeanor and thoughtful expression.

This Gu Qingqiu, radiating with a confident and intelligent aura combined with her extremely high attractiveness—altogether quite charming.

Many examiners were entranced.

"Qingqiu, you can’t get into trouble, let me handle it!"

Xia Hongyao quickly dissuaded her.

"We still don’t know how much mucus is needed, whether to smear it on our clothes or our bodies; we need to experiment!"

Gu Qingqiu analyzed and turned to Lin Baici, "What do you think?"

"The aroma of your ’little cake’ is quite excellent, makes one really want to take a bite, but let’s wait a bit longer, until she grows up!"

"Harvest at the most delicious moment!"

Eater God commented.

"Her judgment is correct, the blind Stone Statue Heads—their mouths lead to the Goddess Altar. After smearing some oak sap on your bodies, to these Stone Statue Heads, you will all just be bugs, they definitely won’t bite!"

"Just smear some on your clothes and hands and face!"

Lin Baici smiled, "I think Qingqiu’s judgment is correct, let’s enter together!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was startled and quickly tried to stop him, "Xiao Bai, this is too reckless!"

Using cannon fodder is inhumane but at least safe.

"I trust her!"

Lin Baici explained.

"Come on, you followed me the whole time, there’s no way I discovered the secret to avoid being bitten and you didn’t!"

Gu Qingqiu rolled her eyes, in her mind, Lin Baici was very intelligent.

Long Miaomiao, with her mouth greasy from eating, elbowed someone: "What secret? Did you discover it?"

"..."

Fang Mingyuan was very embarrassed, As if I discovered anything!

"Tell us?"

Xie Yangchun stopped in his tracks, arms crossed, "If you can convince me, we’ll all enter together!"

Gu Qingqiu looked toward Lin Baici.

Lin Baici made a welcoming gesture, Alumnus Gu was right, he had indeed noticed some clues, but he hadn’t expected her to think so quickly.

"That Stone Statue Head’s mouth had pine nuts, bitten walnuts inside—judging by their placement, they weren’t naturally fallen, so it must have been rodents who left or hid them."

Gu Qingqiu explained, "So naturally, we started with the squirrels."

"This one got really nervous as soon as it was put there, struggling a lot, clearly aware that the Stone Statue Head’s mouth could bite. When I put it down, it immediately went to smear sap on itself, worried that I would throw it into the Stone Statue Head’s mouth again."

Xie Yangchun and Zhang Hao exchanged glances, both seeing admiration in each other’s eyes.

This candidate, meticulous in thinking and keen in observation, not to mention quick to discover.

In certain critical and time-sensitive polluted scenarios, being quick could enhance one’s survival rate.

"What’s your name?"

Xie Yangchun began to smile, his tone apologetic, "Sorry, I underestimated you."

"Her name is Gu Qingqiu!"

Xia Hongyao was delighted, Xie Yangchun had clearly been ’conquered.’

"Would you be interested on joining my team?"

Xie Yangchun invited, this girl being both beautiful and smart would surely shine in the future.

"Are you kidding, poaching my person?"

Xia Hongyao frowned.

"Your person? She’s still a candidate, you know!"

Xie Yangchun was speechless, do you think I’m a fool?

In Xie Yangchun’s view, Xia Hongyao had just noticed Gu Qingqiu’s good performance in God’s Ruins and wanted to recruit her.

"During the winter holiday, we ventured on the Pusan Trip, and Qingqiu was my right-hand man!"

Xia Hongyao felt a mix of happiness and sorrow.

Even someone as elite as Xie Yangchun now wanted to recruit Gu Qingqiu, proving she was indeed formidable and Xia hadn’t misjudged. However, with both Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu destined for greatness and fame across the Nine States, and with potential Dragon Level recruitment in the future, would Little Qiu Qiu stay?

It felt hard to hold onto her!

Should he use Little Linzi’s beauty trap?

That wouldn’t work!

Little Qiu Qiu clearly had no interest in matters of men and women.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yangchun and his group were absolutely shocked.
