The Herbal Scents of Farm Life-Chapter 2967 - 2968: Leaning Toward the Third Possibility

He had only inhaled a tiny bit into his body just now, and he couldn’t control himself anymore; he couldn’t retract his steps.

How did Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang manage to avoid it?

He could speculate that those people saw him fall into the Illusion Realm and thus knew there were toxic traps here. But where did they find the antidote?

"Could it be..."

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Tianfeng’s eyes showed a trace of gloom.

No wonder after he discarded the elder chieftain, those people took over eagerly. It turned out they knew all along that the old fool still had many secrets unknown to them!

It’s absolutely infuriating!

He was the one who captured the elder chieftain, yet they dared to scheme against him to make him discard the chieftain.

In the end, they managed to reap the benefits and leave this place unscathed!

"No, they must have gone to find the corpse-sealing charm."

Suddenly, he seemed to understand, staring intently into the distance.

"Hiss!"

Taking a deep breath, he no longer cared to curse at his original spot and quickly ran out along the drag marks.

Believing that with the elder chieftain leading the way, the path Lin Caisang and the others took must be trap-free. Chasing them, he would surely be faster than the group ahead trying to find their way.

...

This place, though it looked large, wasn’t really that big once you actually started walking.

Avoiding all the deadly traps, Lin Caisang and her group finally stood before a large ice fortress, while Lin Changhong and Yue Chushui had long left the elder chieftain with Captain Liu and were standing before the ice door themselves.

"Chushui, do you think this ice door might be frozen shut by now?" Lin Changhong asked Yue Chushui, tilting his head.

Hearing this, Yue Chushui rolled his eyes at Lin Changhong.

"Do you think this is ordinary ice? This is magical ice. Even after a hundred thousand years, it wouldn’t melt one bit!" he explained while looking at the firmly closed ice door.

"However, how to actually open this door still needs to be seen."

He continued,

There are only three possibilities: one, the elder chieftain; two, the parchment map; three, the jade mouse.

It’s among these three that the method to open this ice door must be found, but he leaned towards the third possibility. The elder chieftain didn’t carry that weight.

As for the parchment map, it likely was only used for avoiding those traps.

The only likely possibility was the increasingly restless jade mouse they had encountered along the way.

He had seen it several times poking its head out of Sui Zimo’s satchel, only to be mercilessly pressed back down, allowing the jade mouse to settle down for a while.

"Let’s discuss it with Sister Sangsang." He suggested.

"Alright."

Lin Changhong glanced at the ice door and nodded.

He was also helpless with that ice door, as mechanisms could neither be found by manpower nor could they just enter with the strength of a few people.

"Can’t open it?"

Lin Caisang asked when she saw them return.

"Can’t open it." Lin Changhong shook his head.

"Sister Sangsang, I suspect we need the jade mouse here. Why not let it out first?" Yue Chushui suggested.
