Learn one small skill every day

At the same time, she was also somewhat surprised that Bai Miao was able to recover so quickly.

“I don’t think things are that simple… Is it possible that you are also part of the princess? Do you think someone like the emperor would gamble with the chance to restore his kingdom, betting that the other side won’t find you?”

Seeing the blank expression on Ji Shaoqing's face, Bai Miao smiled and said, "So your death won't have much impact on the overall situation. Don't think you can profit from this."

"But once you deliver me, the reward will definitely be substantial!"

"Alright, alright, I've repeated myself many times. Stop causing trouble and listen to me. I guarantee you'll make it to the Great Shang Dynasty."

Now, Ji Shaoqing truly believed that Bai Miao would not abandon her in times of danger.

"If you're not a princess, then what did you do before?"

After eliminating the two scourges in the team, Bai Miao felt refreshed and invigorated.

“I am the daughter of a merchant… born on the day of extreme yang, and thus chosen as the vessel for a princess.”

"Then do you know when the dragon veins of Qingqiu started to have problems? This plan should have been in preparation for a long time, right?"

Understanding the background information of Qingqiu Kingdom will definitely help increase the completion rate when settling the final dungeon.

"I don't know the specifics... but I do know what organization the group that ruined the dragon vein came from."

"Elaborate."

"Heavenly Palace".

Ji Shaoqing paused for a moment and said, "There's a high probability we'll encounter people from the Heavenly Dao Palace on the way. I'm explaining who they are to you in advance so we can be prepared."

"The Demon Suppression Division mainly deals with demons and monsters among the common people, while the Heaven Suppression Division targets the Heavenly Dao Palace. The Heavenly Dao Palace collects fragments of the Heavenly Dao and excavates dragon veins to expand its power, making it an object of hatred for all countries, because no one knows whether they will be the next target of the Heavenly Dao Palace."

"The Heavenly Dao Palace has many methods... They seem to have truly mastered a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power. However, you have the Qi Observation Technique, which should be able to sever their connection with the Heavenly Dao, thus weakening them for a period of time."

Through Ji Shaoqing's words, the world background of this instance gradually unfolded before Bai Miao.

Heavenly Palace...

Bai Miao muttered the name.

As expected, this is the boss we've faced along the way.

The group that invoked the gods was already able to summon the five immortals, so what kind of power do the people of the Heavenly Dao Palace possess who have mastered the Heavenly Dao?

Bai Miao also shared the news about the Heavenly Dao Palace with the other members of the team immediately.

Having spent enough time alone with Ji Shaoqing, Bai Miao got out of the carriage, kicked Eunuch Ding back, and sat down next to Chen Dalong.

Chen Dalong said with a half-smile, "Lord Commander...you're really amazing...about that dragon vein..."

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Focus on driving. Qingqiu Kingdom isn't completely finished yet."

"That's good...that's good. I don't want to seek refuge in another country...A few years ago, when the Southern Wu Kingdom fell, some refugees came to our Qingqiu. They lived a truly inhuman life there..."

Chen Dalong sighed, "Life is really tough... but for the sake of the children, we have to go through fire and water..."

It's getting dark, and it's expected to be a little earlier than yesterday.

"Lord Commander, it's getting dark. Shall we continue to the next village, or stay here in the wilderness?"

Chen Dalong consulted Bai Miao for his opinion.

"Don't stop, keep walking. It's too dangerous to stay outside."

Bai Miao activated his Qi Observation Technique. In the darkness, the Qi Observation Technique was like an infrared scanner, allowing Bai Miao to see any danger approaching immediately.

On the other side, Lin Yu groggily woke up from his unconsciousness and found that it was already completely dark. He panicked and fell off the tree in a fluster.

"This...me?!"

In her terror, only one thought crossed her mind.

Let's go back to that temple!

That monk seems like a good person; he should let me stay at the temple for a few more days!

As long as I can hold out until the princess is delivered to Da Shang, I can consider this dungeon completed!

There are no restrictions on how far you have to be from the target in the instance; you just need to hide!

"Hee hee hee……"

Suddenly, not far away, Lin Yu saw several figures wearing white robes with gilded patterns walking towards him.

These people were wearing playing card masks on their faces!

There are three people coming: the 7 of spades, the 9 of clubs, and the 10 of diamonds.

"Hehe, a lone member of the Demon Suppression Division! That means we're on the right track!"

"This time the credit is ours!"

Seeing Lin Yu trembling, the Seven of Spades jumped in front of Lin Yu with an odd gait: "You, tell me why you are here!"

“No… don’t kill me…”

Lin Yu was trembling like a leaf, while frantically sending messages to Bai Miao and the others, hoping to get help.

"Tch, are the people from the Demon Suppression Division really that cowardly? Do you think they'd be the kind of people escorting that princess?"

Square 10 said, "What if it's deliberately left here to mislead us? Killing it directly is boring, so why don't we have some fun with it?"

How do you play it?

"Simple. We each take a bone from her body and see who kills her. Whoever kills her wins, and the second person to move forward wins. The winner gets to have the rights to her body. How about it?"

"Hehe, this is fun! This is fun!"

"Who comes first?"

"I'll come first!"

The 7 of Spades volunteered, grabbed Lin Yu's nape with his big hand, and pulled out Lin Yu's entire spine with his five fingers together!

"Hehe! The person died instantly! You guys didn't even have time to extract the bones, but I did, so I won!"

The Seven of Spades, holding a blood-soaked spine, jumped for joy.

"Oh dear! I forgot to mention you can't die the first time!" Square10 said with a hint of annoyance.

"Don't rush, we're on the right track. There are still many people ahead, we can kill them slowly."

Plum Blossom 9 simply gazed into the distance in the direction Bai Miao and the others had gone.

After receiving Lin Yu's distress text message, Bai Miao and the others waited a long time without receiving any further messages from Lin Yu.

It seems that Lin Yu has met with misfortune.

So, I guess I've resolved the warning from the future?

Although I didn't solve it myself, there was an element of gambling involved.

But Bai Miao really didn't expect that Lin Yu would be gone so soon after it got dark.

Just how dangerous is this night?

Furthermore, what did Lin Yu mean by mentioning the person wearing a poker mask in his text message?

Is it a human or a ghost?

However, Bai Miao knew that the thing that killed Lin Yu was right behind him, and he couldn't stop it tonight no matter what.

"Xiaolong, speed up! Something dirty is following us."

"Ah?! Something dirty..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dalong forcefully swung the horsewhip in his hand.

The group of eunuchs and palace maids, who had been walking all day and were already exhausted, perked up when they heard Bai Miao's voice and quickened their pace to keep up, afraid of falling behind.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Donkey Village

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Chen Dalong drove his horses galloping along the road at night. The night wind was a bit chilly, causing Chen Dalong to unconsciously move closer to Bai Miao.

Bai Miao felt extremely uncomfortable being approached by a smelly, burly man. As Chen Dalong moved closer, Bai Miao would shift to the side, and before he knew it, half of his buttocks had fallen out of the car.

Why are you pushing me? Are you crazy?

Bai Miao glared at Chen Dalong before letting him sit back down.

After traveling for about an hour, Bai Miao noticed that the horse's speed had slowed down.

Chen Dalong called out to the side, "Xiao Shui! The horse wants to eat meat, get me some!"

"Good Le!"

Chen Dalong looked at Bai Miao: "Commander, we may need to stop and feed the horses, otherwise they won't walk."

"Okay, hurry up and feed them, I'll keep watch around."

However, Bai Miao was taken aback when he saw what the driver in Zhang Peng's carriage took out of the carriage.

A pale white mass of flesh slowly wriggled in the driver's hand. The driver skillfully cut off both ends of the mass with a knife and threw it into Chen Dalong's hand. He then took the mass of flesh and walked to the front of the horse.

This meat-colored creature looks strangely familiar.

Isn't this... the kind of flesh that fell off Zero from Abyss Street?

"What is this?"

Bai Miao was unsure and asked.

"Tai Sui meat, for horses to eat."

Chen Dalong didn't find anything strange about it; it seemed like a perfectly normal thing.

"Where did you get it?"

"This stuff was given to us by the stable boy. We don't know anything about it. But he said it can't be eaten by humans, only by horses. The advantage is that it grows every day, so we don't need to carry too much feed."

Bai Miao suddenly remembered that Chen Dalong had taken out a pocket watch at the beginning, and the technology level of this thing was about the same as that of the Abyss Street era.

Are these two from the same world?

The only difference is that one is in the West and the other in the East?
