Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Spider’s Hole

At this point, having figured out the intricacies of Witch Ancestor Mountain, Bai Junjun felt there was no need to hide or hold back anymore; it was time to give this place a thorough reshuffle.

Hence, she asked Wu Nuan to return and have Ah Dao take his men to leave first while they held the rear.

Wu Nuan reluctantly retraced her steps, forcing herself not to think about Bai Junjun being at a disadvantage.

After Wu Nuan left, Bai Junjun did not idle away. She closed her eyes and used her Special Ability to search for the trace of the Fox.

An unexpected event occurred.

Outside the cave, her Special Ability was functioning normally, but now it suddenly disappeared completely.

The Mosquito-eating Plant relied on her Special Ability for recovery, but at some point, its Special Ability had also vanished, reverting it back to a weak and sickly state.

She did not know whether it was the Mystic Iron Treasure Box brought by Yuwen Jun that had an effect or if there was some other mystery here.

Bai Junjun was secretly annoyed. If she had known about Yuwen Jun’s Mystic Iron Treasure Box in the Imperial Capital, she would definitely have fought to take it.

Missing one step had allowed the Mystic Iron Treasure Box to have the chance to return to this place; it was truly a case of digging one’s own grave.

While secretly cursing her carelessness, Bai Junjun placed the Mosquito-eating Plant and Small Cedarwood into a Space for refuge.

Originally, she had planned to use her Special Ability to explore the cave, but now she could only rely on physical investigation.

However, physical searching was much more difficult, and she could only stay put honestly, waiting for Wu Nuan to return.

About a quarter of an hour later, noise came from outside the courtyard, and shortly afterward Wu Nuan appeared.

At this point, she had changed into new clothes and looked cool and aloof as before.

The Gu Master raised an eyebrow upon seeing Wu Nuan back: "Xiao Nuan, why have you come again?"

Her words implied that Wu Nuan had been here many times already.

Wu Nuan bowed apologetically: "Please forgive me, Gu Master, I’ve discovered something important."

"What is it?"

"Thieves have broken into Witch Ancestor Mountain."

"How could that be?"

"While patrolling near the foot of the mountain, I sensed something was wrong. Upon careful tracking, I found that these thieves might have already infiltrated Witch Ancestor Mountain. I request the Gu Master to join me in resolving this."

Wu Nuan’s words were half-true, half-false, but the Gu Master believed them completely. After all, the Forbidden Land truly had been breached by a thief, and she absolutely did not believe he had no accomplices.

Thus, when Wu Nuan mentioned the traces of outsiders, the Gu Master did not doubt it.

She assumed it was the accomplices of that thief, finally unable to contain themselves and revealing their slip-up.

"Just who is it that keeps causing trouble here time and again," the Gu Master said with a hint of displeasure, waving her hand: "Lead the way."

"Yes," Wu Nuan obligingly bowed and walked ahead.

Bai Junjun waited for them to walk away for a while before jumping down and quickly dashing into the cave.

Only after entering did she discover that the Forbidden Land was like a spider’s lair, with countless entrances inside the cave, making it impossible to know where each one led.

Bai Junjun had no choice but to search through each cave one by one.

It was only during this investigation that she discovered most of the caves contained various Insect Pools with many snakes, insects, rats, and ants. She did not know how long these creatures had been fighting each other; a layer of dark brown fluid had accumulated beneath, and many maggots floated on the fluid, which was nauseating to behold.

Bai Junjun almost had to search the caves with a furrowed brow.

In theory, the most time Wu Nuan could buy her was an hour. If she couldn’t find the Fox within this time frame, it was possible she would encounter the Gu Master.

Thus, Bai Junjun had no choice but to speed up, and after quickly checking several ordinary Insect Pools, she decided to head directly to the deepest part.

After all, to become a Holy Insect, it must be of great importance.
