Hidden Moth-Chapter 495 - 281: Sunset Piaocai Surrounds the Golden Mountain (Part 2)

Chapter 495: Chapter 281: Sunset Piaocai Surrounds the Golden Mountain (Part 2)

The web-like instant teleportation changed several locations before He Kao finally found Lina.

She was wearing a mask wrapped in climbing clothes, curled up in the same icy pit, covered with a thick layer of snow, and already in a coma. Next to her were two more people, presumably local indigenous guides from the team.

He Kao immediately returned to his primordial spirit, teleporting his true self to the scene... He didn’t leave the people in the Floating Colors Grotto Heaven but instead transferred them back to the Mount Everest Base Camp.

The base camp had idle tents, unused or abandoned, and He Kao moved the people into a tent, opened a new oxygen tank, brought in some heating equipment to maintain the tent’s temperature, and provided rescue.

Using Xue Guanghan, he emitted light, not to assist in cultivating any Ice Skin Jade Bone, but to stabilize life status and restore physiological functions, using the techniques of a Tier Two Acupuncturist, exhibited with Tier Four Cultivation.

These people in distress were mainly threatened by hypothermia and lack of oxygen, possibly with trauma and pulmonary edema. Timely rescue can recover them to save their lives...

Gu Chun arrived at the Mount Everest Base Camp only at midnight; he was in Pingjing today.

He Kao can teleport and has been to Pingjing, but he can’t go anywhere at will. It must be a place he has been to and remembered, and it cannot be discovered by anyone.

They arranged a location in the suburbs, where Gu Chun drove A Cloud to arrive and then transferred through the Floating Colors Grotto Heaven to here.

Gu Chun: "You saved so many people?"

He Kao: "I ran into them, so I saved them all, but it exhausted me, nearly depleting my Divine Qi..."

He ultimately saved seventeen people, including the two guides accompanying Lina, placing them in five tents. After stabilizing the situation, he went to pick up Gu Chun, but they remained asleep, not waking up.

Main guest Lina enjoyed a tent by herself; she was a blonde woman, appearing around thirty, but Westerners mature early, her actual age being only twenty-four, and quite pretty, but her scent was a bit strong at the moment.

Gu Chun: "Did you handle this alone without contacting the medical rescue team?"

He Kao: "I didn’t know how to contact their team, nor did I want to reveal my tracks. I leave the rest of the matter to you, elder. You figure out how to explain it."

Gu Chun smiled bitterly and said: "You saved so many people that the matter can hardly be covered. As for Lina and her father, just let them assert that I happened to be nearby and came to rescue her..."

As for the others, no need to explain; let them believe the mountain god manifested. I will show up and stay here for a few days, even if the matter attracts attention, they’ll think I secretly saved them."

He Kao: "What’s the situation with this girl? How did you know she was in danger here?"

Gu Chun traveled the world and once went overseas, made some friends, and received some help. Lina’s father is one of his friends, with a rather good family background.

Lina came to climb Mount Everest, which can’t be explained in a few words, but in short, her climbing style was quite luxurious, hiring a seven-person luxury team.

On the day, four people from the team remained at the base camp, while the other three accompanied her for climbing exercise; one stayed at Camp One to respond, and the remaining two guides accompanied her to Camp Two before returning.

The base camp could contact the outside world anytime, and the news of Lina’s distress and loss of contact was reported this afternoon. Lina’s father was so anxious that after trying everything to no avail, he remembered knowing a mysterious friend with great Divine Techniques.

This was typical of desperation to seek help, and no one but an Immortal could rescue her; even if Gu Chun could maneuver a Flying Divine Artifact, he couldn’t make it from Pingjing to Mount Everest in time to save her.

However, Gu Chun managed to contact He Kao, this girl’s fate is truly resilient!

After explaining the reason, Gu Chun said very embarrassedly: "Her father has been kind to me; it’s the first time he asked me for help... This is really my private matter; you could have refused."

He Kao saw for the first time the elder’s awkwardly red face and quickly said: "You are my mentor; I have received so many favors from you, so I must do my best when there’s a task. You need not be courteous."

After thinking about it, he added, pointing at Lina, "Today, this matter, you repaid a great favor! In this kind of situation, it’s better not to repeat it..."

Gu Chun nodded and said: "Indeed, in this situation, one should not expect anyone to come to the rescue, and this time I’m repaying her father’s favor. Even she probably didn’t expect to survive today."

Climbing distress above six thousand meters altitude indeed cannot expect rescue, and the climbers themselves should know the nature of their actions, which is equivalent to signing a life-and-death pact with nature, bearing absolute consequences themselves.

Gu Chun’s premise for asking He Kao for help was knowing He Kao’s Divine Techniques, capable of attempting rescue while ensuring his own safety; otherwise, he wouldn’t ask.

He Kao is neither a rescue personnel nor under any rescue obligation and does not know Lina. He could not possibly cover for her risky behavior voluntarily.

While saying this, He Kao silently lamented the easy draw Hidden Moth’s abilities attracted.

Gu Chun certainly had no malice towards him, turning to him for help when there was genuinely no other option. He begrudgingly asked, and He Kao did his best.

Saving people isn’t a bad thing, and since he came and encountered them, He Kao saved a few more, making it a worthy act. But what if it were someone else, some other circumstance?

Even those high above, like Gu Chun, cannot entirely escape the world’s complexities, and everyone has various relationships. If too many people sought him out, what could He Kao do?

Turning down requests seems easy, but in certain situations, it creates enmity.

Jiang Daozhen had long foreseen this situation, knowing Hidden Moth’s identity must remain secret, and reminded Gu Chun and Li Xiuyuan never to misuse He Kao’s ability.

Gu Chun understood the situation too, which was why he felt so embarrassed when speaking earlier.

He Kao then asked: "Do you have any other instructions, elder? If not, I’ll head back first, leaving the follow-up to you."

Gu Chun: "Indeed, there are two matters I need you to assist with, matters related to the Ancestral Hall."

He Kao: "Tell me."

Gu Chun: "I will stay here for five days, try to make an appearance and let people know my whereabouts. Five days later at this time, you secretly pick me up and deliver me to Phoenix Tail Town without being seen by anyone."

Upon hearing these words, He Kao suddenly realized today’s situation might be more complicated. Elder Gu probably intended to find a remote place to show up, making people think he wouldn’t return to the Ancestral Hall soon.

Coincidentally receiving Lina’s father’s aid request, he took the opportunity to enlist He Kao’s help and then had He Kao bring him along here; what place could be more remote than Mount Everest Base Camp?

Qian Guran had said if there were any significant movements, it would happen a month and a half later... from now, five days later would perfectly coincide.

He Kao hesitated a moment before saying: "Okay, five days later at this time, I’ll pick you up."

Gu Chun: "If circumstances change and need to advance, I will notify you... you seem to have something else to say, young one?"

He Kao thought for a moment and spoke: "Whatever major plan Ancestral Hall has, if you don’t tell me, I won’t inquire, but have you considered Qi Yuan’s situation?

Ancestral Hall’s dispatched people have gradually left during this time; Elder Li has also left, leaving only the Tier Five Heart Stealer Mei Wenhua.

If someone targets Elder Mei, this might be the opportunity they’ve been waiting for, and wouldn’t Elder Mei be in great danger?"

Gu Chun pointed in the direction outside the tent towards Mount Everest and said: "What Mei Guyu is doing is like climbing this mountain; she should know what she’s doing and what she might encounter, and the consequences she should bear herself."

He Kao pointed inside the tent at Lina and said: "You mean she’s like Lina today? I think it’s not quite the same, right?"

Gu Chun didn’t directly answer but said: "Meeting you is her karma."

These words were somewhat vague and unclear about whom they referred to, then he laughed again, saying, "If you’re worried Qi Yuan isn’t safe, I’ll give you another task, perhaps capable of intimidating the petty ones."
