Chapter 568 Crisis lurks
In the general's mansion in the capital.
General Su Yi, with his white hair, strolled leisurely in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
He may seem relaxed, but he is actually very anxious, worrying about the country, the people, and himself.
The garden has been renovated and turned into a small training ground.
When Cao Erdan returns, the two of them can have another match.
At this moment, Liao Kai, who was standing next to him, handed him a phone.
"General, they're looking for you!"
Su Yi took it.
Upon hearing the other person's voice, he couldn't help but raise a white eyebrow:
"Wang Dong, at this time, unless it's something really important, try not to call me directly. You have a special status, and you need to be careful!"
The voice on the other end was very grateful: "Thank you for your concern, General. I will be careful. I just wanted to report to you that they have already begun their operation, colluding with the Black Wind Society..."
Su Yi said, "I understand. Be careful not to give yourself away!"
Wang Dong agreed and hung up the phone.
Su Yi glanced at Liao Kai beside him:
"When wolves leave their dens and snakes emerge from their burrows, we hunters must be prepared!"
Liao Kai nodded: "With you, General, in charge, there shouldn't be any problems!"
Su Yi smiled slightly: "Liao Kai, you go and make the trip. I'm worried that Erdan is too young to handle it!"
"Yes, General, I'll set off immediately!"
Liao Kai turned and left. Su Yi told the nanny to set up the Go board, then sat down and began playing with his left and right hands.
He held black and white pieces in each hand, seemingly playing a game of chess. On the surface, everything appeared calm, but unbeknownst to him, he was orchestrating a life-or-death struggle.
……
After Cao Erdan and Huang Benchu finished sorting, they looked at the sunlight streaming through the seven-star-shaped holes overhead and realized it was past noon.
This great cavern is deep inside the mountain, where one can obtain the earth's spiritual energy and absorb the essence of the sun and moon; it is indeed an excellent place for cultivation.
Those who lived here back then have already ascended to immortality.
However, the place still retains a spiritual aura.
Otherwise, a toad could not grow to such a large size.
Who knows if there are any other strange creatures here, but Cao Erdan and Huang Benchu are both highly skilled and daring, and they are not afraid.
Cao Erdan distributed some of the herbs to Huang Benchu.
Huang Benchu was a spirit of the Yellow Immortal, and he always wanted to refine elixirs.
So when Cao Erdan generously distributed these rare herbs to him, he was overjoyed and kept thanking him.
Fortunately, there are storage bags, so it's not heavy after being put inside.
After all the sorting was finished, Cao Erdan noticed the light was dimming and said to Huang Benchu:
"Let's spend the night in the cave and absorb some of its spiritual energy."
Huang Benchu was quite willing to accept this suggestion.
If Cao Erdan hadn't been there, he would have been quite intimidated by this mysterious cave.
The two of them each found a dry, large rock and sat down to practice their meditation.
Cao Erdan entered the sixth level of the Dragon Realm. Knowing that Youxiang'er was no longer there, he didn't say anything more and went straight to Qi Refining.
Although the cave dwelling has been abandoned by the immortals, it is still better than ordinary places.
Huang Benchu took the monk's staff that he had seized and sat down to meditate.
The moment a distracting thought arises, the ring on the Zen staff rings.
He usually has too many wicked desires, so it is difficult for him to calm his mind when meditating.
Today, as soon as he had a wicked thought, the ring on his staff immediately helped him suppress it, calm his mind, and he felt much better.
Both of them made some progress after practicing their Qi cultivation.
That night, the two of them simply stayed in the cave.
Cao Erdan slept until the morning sun shone through the Seven Star Cave.
Before I even opened my eyes, I could feel someone nuzzling and squirming in my arms.
Holy crap, could it be that Huang Benchu came over in the middle of the night and slept on a blue stone with me?
The thought of it makes me feel nauseous.
However, a faint fragrance wafted into my nose immediately, and I knew without even opening my eyes that it was Youxiang'er!
Her body was as soft as a chewy candy.
Cao Erdan woke up and opened his eyes to look around.
Youxiang'er's face was pale and pink, and she lay beside him with her eyes closed, pressed tightly against his body.
With her big eyes closed, long eyelashes, and pouty little mouth, she was simply adorable.
Huh?
That’s not right!
Cao Erdan sat up, and Youxiang'er also woke up with a start.
"Master, are you awake?"
Cao Erdan asked in surprise, "I didn't release you, so how did you get out of the storage ring?"
Youxiang'er sat up as well: "I ate the giant toad's inner core yesterday, and my energy is much stronger than before. Even if you don't summon me, I can still come out of it! Look, don't I look more like a human now!"
As Youxiang spoke, she lifted her skirt to show Cao Erdan.
Huang Benchu over there immediately stared at him with wide eyes.
I thought I'd see a beautiful body under the skirt, but it turned out to be a big tail.
With a flick of his wrist, a loud "smack" rang out as it struck Huang Benchu's face.
Huang Benchu was almost scared out of his wits.
Holy crap, this tail looks familiar.
The Dao Realm expert I encountered that night was struck by my staff, but a large tail descended from the sky and helped me.
Could it be Xiao Youxiang'er?
However, he didn't ask, he just watched Youxiang wagging her tail.
Cao Erdan looked at it and saw that, indeed, the tail was much shorter, and the horns on Youxiang'er's head were also shorter, and she was also taller.
It seems that the giant toad's inner core has been of great help to her.
Cao Erdan was somewhat worried that the storage ring could no longer contain Youxiang'er.
If I were to research something important, would she overhear and spread rumors?
That's not all. If I were to have an in-depth yet easy-to-understand discussion with the beautiful women about human epidermis, would she suddenly jump out and shout, "Count me in?"
However, Cao Erdan couldn't very well put on a stern face and admonish her at this moment.
But he couldn't bear to leave her outside to fend for herself.
For now, we can only be happy for everyone's successful treasure hunt.
The three men emerged from the cave and began climbing up the misty stone walls, now with more strength than when they had come.
Cao Erdan and Huang Benchu returned laden with their spoils, each leading a little Xiang'er down the mountain.
……
On the path Cao Erdan took up the mountain, a group of people had gathered and were waiting.
A man with slicked-back hair and a silver mustache looked at a beautiful woman in white beside him:
"You failed to seduce those two country bumpkins on the way here, are you sure the bait won't come off the hook?"
The woman in white was Bai Jie, whom Cao Erdan had seduced on the train.
Her true identity is also an elder of the Black Wind Society, and she, along with Michiko and Mao Ying, are all one of the four beauties of the Black Wind Society, Hatano Kyoko.
She was wearing a bugging device when she approached Cao Erdan.
This silver-bearded man is the leader of the three elders of their Black Wind Society, named Sakata Tamura.
He was furious to hear that Bai Jie had gotten nothing out of the listening device and had fallen asleep.
He was still making sarcastic remarks at this point.
Bai Jie's face flushed.
She called herself one of the Four Beauties of the Black Wind, so she was naturally very proud of her appearance, but she failed to bewitch Cao Erdan.
After I fell asleep in the car, I don't know who scratched me so hard.
I've never suffered such a loss before.
Fortunately, when she said goodbye to Huang Benchu, she slipped a GPS tracker into the collar of his clothes.
at this time,
She was able to locate Huang Benchu's position using her mobile phone.
"Elder Sakata, they have already come down the mountain. This place is densely forested and lush, a perfect spot for the negative electrode plate team!"
Sakata Tamura nodded, his hand resting on the katana at his waist, and looked back at the crowd behind him:
Are you all ready?
Behind him, besides Muteng, the elder of the Black Wind Society, there were four others, all experts who had come from the capital.
The monk Zhao Jingyu sent was a mute monk who practiced Buddhism while still keeping his hair. However, his eyes were piercing and he was clearly a master with abundant vital energy.
Dong Zhenji also sent one of his most skilled fighters.
This was no ordinary bodyguard, but a cultivator who had entered the divine realm, a highly skilled person he kept by his side.
This man is named Lu Chao, and he was a member of the Marine Corps when he was young.
Now in his fifties, he still maintains the demeanor of a soldier.
He straightened his pen, looked at everyone, and didn't say much.
The man Huang Ting sent was a burly, dark-skinned man named Lei Wanjun.
His muscles gleamed like iron, and at 1.95 meters tall, he stood out in the crowd, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
These guys all had fierce looks on their faces, and you could tell they were tough even without them saying a word.
Only the middle-aged man sent by Wang Dong had a simple and honest smile, and wearing a forward-facing hat, he looked like a worker who had just finished his shift.
His name is also very ordinary, Zhang Wei.
There are tons of names like that for someone his age.
When the four men saw Sakata Tamura ask, they all nodded, indicating that they were ready!
