Chapter 252: The Fire Behind the Mountain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing the other party’s actions, even Li Yidao’s eyes carried a different expression for a moment.

Right and wrong, in many cases, were beyond his consideration and attention.

Everything should be left to the relevant people to judge.

As time passed, the atmosphere gradually eased in the solemnity.

A man from Yun City approached, looking at the old man and Li Yidao, his eyes filled with apology.

“Elder Fu, I’m really sorry for the scare you’ve had this time.”

“We, Yun City, will give you an explanation for this matter, and let me lead the way for the rest of the journey, is that okay?”

At this point, he needed to inquire with the old man, mainly to see if the old man still trusted them and if he would agree to let them continue leading Li Yidao and the others forward.

After all, if there were any more unexpected incidents, things would become difficult!

That’s why they had asked!

However, in reality… arranging such a trap within a trap was not very likely.

At least, the current situation made it seem unlikely.

Regardless, a trap or a person’s betrayal was already a serious problem.

Sacrificing one traitor just to gain the trust of another person and eventually having that person betray them?

If they could plan to this extent… it was truly remarkable.

If they could really arrange things to this degree, Li Yidao and the others could only consider themselves unlucky.

People with such bizarre thoughts were truly hard to guard against.

But judging from the recent battle, it was certain that the other party didn’t have that problem.

Many times, many things naturally unfolded in a certain way.

The old man looked deeply at the other party, then remained silent, just nodding.

The meaning was already clear.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief!

If the old man didn’t nod, the current situation would be difficult for him.

At least, for now, it was so. They probably wouldn’t have any solution.

There would only be a certain estrangement between them and the old man.

This would be fatal for their entire tribe and even for the entire Yun City.

Fortunately… the old man didn’t take it too seriously and still trusted them.

“Elder Fu, well then, let’s take a break. We’ll set out in ten minutes, and our people will go ahead to scout the path.”

As the speaker was about to leave, the old man spoke up.

“Aren’t you planning to cross the valley and take a look?” Hearing this, the other person was momentarily stunned. Then, turning back with a wry smile, he said, “Certainly, we will, but only after we’ve escorted you to your destination. We’ll go back to check afterward.”

“We need to explain this matter to our tribe. If, by any chance, we really die in there, we hope Elder Fu can speak up for us.”

“Our families, we’ll ask the tribe to provide the usual support.”

This was a rule of Yun City. They, along with the person who had just betrayed them, were not just a team or a group—they were actually a small clan or a family. novelbuddy .com

In this case, if one of them had a problem, it would normally affect the entire group.

That’s why they acted without hesitation when they noticed an issue with the betrayer.

Only by dealing with them could they have a chance to make amends and ensure the safety of their families.

Another possibility was that this matter might not be discovered. They all died, or they all betrayed.

There was also another way: they could find out the reasons for the betrayal, saving the tribe from a greater crisis.

In this case, not only would they be blameless, but they might even earn merit.

The punishment of collective responsibility was indeed brutal, but there was also a possibility of sufficient redemption. It depended on how they chose to handle it.

So, they made this decision.

After escorting Li Yidao and the others, they would return and uncover everything behind the scenes. Even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they would not hesitate.

As long as someone could bring news back, their families would receive adequate arrangements.

That was their plan!

The old man nodded in agreement.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go take a look together,” the old man suggested. “Going over to Elder Lin’s side now probably wouldn’t mean anything,” he added.

With that, the old man stood up, not uttering another word, and headed toward the direction of the mountain.

Observing the old man’s movements, Li Yidao didn’t hesitate and stood up as well, briskly walking toward the mountains.

Yang Qingyue followed suit without any hesitation.

As for Sister Zhou, a hint of confusion lingered in her eyes.

Subsequently, her expression returned to calmness, and she walked behind with her needle kit.

She conveyed her attitude through actions.

As for the remaining people from Yun City, after witnessing the actions of the old man and the others, it could be said that gratitude was evident in everyone’s eyes.

They truly hadn’t expected the old man and the others to join them in the investigation.

It was known to be a potentially dangerous endeavor.

As mentioned earlier, traps had already been set, and there would inevitably be certain risks and issues.

However… The old man and the others still chose to proceed.

In such a situation, how could they not be moved?

No one spoke. They silently walked to the front. Some walked ahead, others lagged behind to cover the rear, and some positioned themselves on the left and right.

In summary, they were protecting the old man and the others in the middle. If there is truly any danger or problem, they are destined to be the first to encounter it.

In other words, they are fated to be the first to face danger.

To harm the old man and the others, they would need to deal with them first.

Watching the other party’s actions, Li Yidao and the others remained relatively still.

Since the other party chose to act this way, they decided to go along with it.

After all, if they did encounter danger, they would have to assess the situation during the battle.

No one knew how the actual battle would unfold.

Time passed bit by bit.

They soon reached the top of the mountain.

Standing on the summit and looking at the surroundings below, even Li Yidao was momentarily stunned.

Behind the mountain, or rather, in a small area behind it, the environment was entirely different from the other places.

It was a sea of crimson!

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that it was an expanse of crimson maple forest!

The red trees and the red grass on the ground left Li Yidao and the others astounded.

Such an environment would not easily be explored without any secrets.

“Elder Fu, wait for us here. We hope you can be a witness. If we encounter danger, go find Elder Lin and the others,” one of the men said.

“Hu Qi, stay behind. If we don’t return, take Elder Fu to Elder Lin,” the man added, addressing the youngest member among them.

Hearing his voice, the one called Hu Qi paused for a moment.

Subsequently, a hint of reluctance appeared in his eyes as he nodded.

He knew the consequences of staying behind and the issues that might arise if he didn’t.

However, many things were inevitable.

Indeed, he was the youngest, and from every perspective, he needed to stay behind.

In this case, he had no reason to refuse.

Regarding their decision, the old man did not object. It was their decision, and in such a case, he naturally respected their opinion.

However…

The old man couldn’t truly agree to just leave if they encountered danger. When there was real danger, they would definitely intervene.

As the group stepped forward, reorganizing their belongings, as a tactical team, they advanced slowly down the slope!

Especially their small insects, at this point, were already underground, serving as their direction for advancing.

The dense swarm of insects resembled a vast expanse, ready to set out at any moment.

Their speed was incredible.

If they encountered any danger, they would undoubtedly initiate the attack!

And just as they were about to start moving forward, suddenly, the old man looked at Li Yidao and asked, “Can you see their fate?”

The old man’s question implied that he knew Li Yidao possessed certain abilities and naturally understood that, in all likelihood, Li Yidao could see the fate of the others.

So, he asked the question. Li Yidao was momentarily stunned.

Right. If he could investigate the cause of their deaths, wouldn’t they be able to respond accordingly?

Without any hesitation, he directly looked at the group. Sure enough! The people from Yun City all had death notifications!

However, the death probabilities were not high.

Only the leader had an alarming 95% probability of death, while the others were around 60%.

Although it exceeded the average likelihood of death, with a bit of caution, it would probably be fine.

With the appearance of the death notifications, Li Yidao no longer hesitated and immediately initiated Death Investigation!

As the results of the investigation appeared, Li Yidao’s pupils suddenly widened!

This… Was it because of this?

He cast a deep glance at the fiery red forest below.

Taking a deep breath, his expression changed.

Observing his expression, everyone was bewildered.

All of them looked at him with expressions of doubt.

Li Yidao, with a serious expression, slowly revealed the conclusion derived from the Death Investigation!
