Chapter 374: Ambush
"Everyone, we’ve reached this point, and my task is now complete. Beyond here, either I lack the ability to explore further, or the dangers are too great. You’ll have to proceed on your own."
Kong Xin retrieved three jade slips, marking the maps with rough annotations before handing them over.
Qin Sang swept his spiritual consciousness through the jade slip and found that the location of the Huanglong Grass lay northeast of their position. If they traveled directly without encountering danger, they could reach it within a few hours.
The area where the Huanglong Grass grew was not far from the second zone of the Endless Valley.
The so-called three zones of the valley were not defined by distinct changes in terrain but were instead separated by ancient barriers within the valley. Over time, these divisions became conventionally recognized.
There were several well-known paths between the first and second zones, allowing one to pass through the barriers, all of which were marked on the map sold by Tianfeng Tower.
However, before reaching the third zone of the Endless Valley, no path was deemed entirely safe.
"Here’s the other half of the payment. Thank you for leading the way."
Wandering Man tossed a Mustard Seed Pouch to Kong Xin before he and Qin Sang departed in their evasion light.
Before leaving, Qin Sang glanced back at Kong Xin and his two companions.
Throughout their journey, the individual tailing them had never revealed themselves, making it seem like a mere coincidence.
