God-Level All-rounder Expert-Chapter 634 - 704: Blood Eyes in the Rainy Night

After lunch, the group immediately set to work. Although Fang Yi was Cai Qin’s assistant, he had no idea what he could do, so after the meal, Fang Yi simply lay down in the vehicle.

Not long after, Cai Qin arrived, opened the car door, and said to the lying Fang Yi, "Let’s go, we’re heading into the mountains."

The ones venturing into the mountains included Fang Yi and Cai Qin, with Luo Kedi, Wu Tian, and others following, leaving only two to watch over the camp.

Cai Qin held a map and led the way, glancing at it as she walked.

Dressed in mountaineering attire and carrying an oversized backpack, Cai Qin moved effortlessly as if on flat ground. An ordinary woman would have been tired out quickly, but Fang Yi wasn’t worried.

After all, Cai Qin had already achieved the Earth Level—though he didn’t know which tier—but a martial artist wouldn’t be unable to bear even this load.

Meanwhile, little Ya and others following them were already grumbling. As for Luo Kedi, he maintained a light smile, as if nothing could stop him.

Cai Qin showed no intention of stopping, so naturally, Fang Yi wouldn’t interfere. He was currently playing the role of the beautiful one—Cai Qin’s assistant. If he said too much, he would undermine Cai Qin’s authority.

The sky was gloomy, with clouds gradually thickening, and a small mountain village appeared in the distance.

They had reached the deep mountains. Fang Yi looked up and saw not a single power line, a testament to the remoteness of the area.

At the entrance of the village stood a broken stone tablet with faintly discernible carvings. No one here was an archaeologist, so they showed no interest in it, but Fang Yi was highly intrigued.

Villagers emerged from the small mountain village, with an elderly man with white hair being supported on his cane as he walked out, not so much welcoming them as perhaps meeting them. Cai Qin led her group to converse with him, while Fang Yi slowly approached the broken stone tablet and crouched down.

Fang Yi could faintly make out the writing on the ancient stone tablet, and his expression slowly grew serious. Little Ya came over, crouching beside Fang Yi, and asked, "Brother Fang, can you understand it?"

"Just guessing," Fang Yi replied.

"Pretending to understand when you don’t, how laughable," Wu Tian scoffed.

Luo Kedi frowned slightly and said, "Wu Tian, watch it."

Wu Tian shrugged, cast a mocking glance at Fang Yi, then looked away. Luo Kedi sent an apologetic smile toward Fang Yi.

Fang Yi didn’t take it to heart. He was too preoccupied to be offended by someone as insignificant as Wu Tian. Over there, Cai Qin had finished conversing with the white-haired elder. She glanced at Fang Yi, who smiled and stood up to follow.

The one leading the way was a seemingly honest-looking youth named Abu. He was lean but evidently muscular, and despite the cold season, Abu still bared his chest, demonstrating the hardships of life here.

They were led to a shed that reeked unbearably, akin to either a horse or a cow barn.

"What kind of place is this, stinking and filthy? Don’t you have somewhere better?" Wu Tian complained.

"Yeah, young man, isn’t there somewhere cleaner?" asked Cai Qin.

"This is the only place in the village we can stay," Abu said with an embarrassed look.

"So you just want to extort more money from us, right?"

Wu Tian pulled out his wallet, took out five hundred yuan, and said, "I’ll give you an extra five hundred as a tip, find us a cleaner place."

Abu’s face showed stubborn resilience as he shook his head, unmoved, not even looking at the money.

With money in hand, Wu Tian was at a loss whether to keep it extended or to put it back, his face turning quite sour.

"Cai Qin, put the money away," said Cai Qin, offering Wu Tian a way to step back.

Wu Tian gave Abu a fierce look, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Throughout this exchange, Fang Yi hadn’t said a word, simply observing, like a bystander.

The sky gradually darkened, and Abu brought over two oil lamps and some simple food. Fang Yi ate a little and then left the tent, finding a secluded spot to light up a cigarette, gazing into the distance.

Footsteps softly arose behind him, and without turning his head, Fang Yi said, "At this hour, you should be in the tent taking care of the team members. Why have you come out here?"

Cai Qin joined him by his side, looking into the distance together, and said, "I think there’s something strange about you."

Fang Yi turned to glance at Cai Qin beside him, his expression serious and earnest, and couldn’t help laughing, "What’s strange about me?"

"I’m not blind; I can tell," Cai Qin stared at him, saying, "Did you spot something on that broken stele?"

Fang Yi smiled and said, "You actually noticed."

Cai Qin said, "Don’t flatter me, just spit it out."

Fang Yi said, "I indeed made a discovery on that broken stele. Do you... believe that gods exist in this world?"

Cai Qin’s face tensed, tensed, and then tensed some more...

After more than ten seconds, Cai Qin couldn’t hold it any longer, staring at Fang Yi, her eyes growing increasingly strange.

"What’s with that look?" Fang Yi was annoyed.

"I’m looking at a silly child," Cai Qin said bluntly.

"Do I look like an idiotic child?"

"That’s your own words, not mine," Cai Qin said, "What era is it now, with all this talk of gods and such. I thought you were quite clever, but now... sigh..."

Fang Yi smiled faintly, "I knew you wouldn’t believe. If you don’t believe, let’s just leave it at that."

Cai Qin still fixed her gaze on him. After a while, she said, "What exactly did you see?"

"Yin Yang Break, Jiuli shattered, Boneyard, the Unsealer is the eternal sinner..."

"I don’t understand." Cai Qin furrowed her brows deeply, "I do know about the Jiuli, it was the tribe where the ancient war god Chi You was from. Later Chi You was defeated by the alliance of the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan. You can’t mean to tell me this place was once the territory of the Jiuli Clan?"

Fang Yi said, "I’m not sure, but that stele is very ancient. Maybe it really is."

Cai Qin said, "Even if it is, it has nothing to do with our mission. Our target is the exploded Biological Research Institute, not these mythological tales."

Fang Yi nodded, smiling, "You’re right, so tell me, what’s the real purpose Zhao sent you here for?"

As if her secret thoughts were exposed, a flicker of panic flashed through Cai Qin’s eyes, but her mental fortitude was extraordinary, and in a short moment, she regained her composure.

However...

"Stop pretending, I’ve figured it out. What did Zhao send you here for?" Fang Yi stared into her eyes, pressing closer.

At that moment, Cai Qin involuntarily stepped back.

Cai Qin’s brows knitted together, and she said coldly, "Don’t ask questions recklessly."

Fang Yi said, "You’re still playing dumb with me at this point, Cai Qin. Do I really seem that untrustworthy to you?"

Facing Fang Yi’s penetrating gaze, Cai Qin seemed about to blurt out, but right at that moment, the sound of sudden rain loudly burst forth, and large raindrops heavily fell from the sky.

Left with no choice, Fang Yi could only return to the tent with Cai Qin.

In the rainy night, a charred, withered hand pushed aside a clump of grass, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes that appeared and fixed upon the small village in the rain. It opened its mouth, revealing a row of sharp, ghostly white fangs.
