Chapter 273: Get Ready
In the small town closest to Yuxueyun Mountain, many visitors use it as a transfer station. The town is usually bustling with people, so it has some vitality.
Lin Xi, Du Jun, Qin Jia, and Luo Jingrong had arrived early. The rest of their troops were still assembling. Given the quantity of supplies needed for such a large operation, just buying them would take several days.
While waiting for the full team to arrive and supplies to be prepared, Lin Xi spent her spare time studying the maps. No matter how she looked at them, there was only one mountain indicated, but the paths and entrances weren’t marked.
The Yuxueyun Mountain range was vast, and Lin Xi had no clue where to start. She wondered if she had missed something.
Luo Jingrong, standing by her side, remarked, "There are five custodians in total, but only four maps. What’s the fifth custodian in charge of?"
"We were too hasty." Lin Xi slightly frowned. She felt they might be aimlessly roaming the Yuxueyun Mountain and wasn’t sure if they could find what they were looking for.
Du Jun chimed in, "We’re racing against the clock. That demon has attacked us once already. When it discovers that we have all four maps, it’ll undoubtedly strike again. We won’t be able to fend it off the same way we did last time."
Lin Xi nodded, "That’s precisely why I ordered our immediate departure. We don’t have the time."
Qin Jia, who had previously worked on archaeological digs with Professor Luo, shared her thoughts, "If the location truly relates to Yuxueyun Mountain, it’s highly likely that a palace or tomb was built inside the mountain. We can use an instrument to scan the mountain."
